The addition of Mac's Speed Shop is the latest in the puzzling trend of biker hangouts trying to establish a foothold in the lake community.
However, this one seems to be gaining a foothold, largely because Mac's is a good time!
As for the food, I can't seem to get away from the Hand-pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, which is excellent and nearly requires two people to eat. My friends have told me the BBQ plates and ribs are also good.
It is a laid-back, yet energetic place with great barbecue. An excellent place to swing by for lunch, if you don't mind fighting the lunch crowds.
You can expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $20, depending on how much beer you drink before heading back to the office!
When the sun goes down is when Mac's pulls on its biker gear and gets down to business. I rolled by there most recently on a Thursday night, and it was like the Hell's Angels had come to town. There were bikes everywhere, the front patio was filled with people, and a band was setting up. Looked like a party to me!
Mac's has turned out to be a refreshing, different kind of nightspot from some of the other "look-at-me" options around the lake.
It's good to have variety!
