“ We were having drinks next door at Dive Bar waiting for a show at Bogarts. Ordered a small Mac and Cheese with chicken, bacon and ranch. The young man behind the counter said it would take about 10 minutes. So I told him I was next door and would come back to pick it up. But...he carried it over to us at the bar when it was ready. That's above and beyond service. Plus the mac and cheese was delicious and just enough for two. ”
“ Sooooo good. I got the Pink Floyd (bacon, caramelized onions, and cheddar) and I loved every bite. If you go on Monday’s the large is half priced with a drink purchase which is an amazing deal. Will definitely be back again! ”
“ I didn't realize it was Mac Monday until I put in my order and the employee kindly told me about it. I went with the Fleetwood Mac which is pesto, tomato, and mozzarella. I wish it would've had a little more tomato, but overall it was high quality Mac and cheese. I had spent less than 10 for a full sized drink and a large portion of Mac and cheese. ”
“ Craving some good ole Mac n cheese? The Cordon lightfoot (I add onion) is one of my favorites! The powerhouse is another top of my list. The house made Oreo pie is delicious as well! Go get you some comfort food, sit out in the courtyard and people watch. ”
“ Stopped here after a concert, ordered the Buffalo Springfield. When I first pulled it out, I was a little disappointed with the size compared to the price, but the tray was much deeper than I originally thought, and I was stuffed after finishing. I am a huge fan of Blue Cheese, so I loved the amount, but if you only like a little, I would be aware that there is a lot. ”
“ Got the Pink Floyd Mac with jalapenos. The serving was so big! I didn’t even finish. The Mac was creamy and the baked cheese on top was incredible. I got in just as they opened so everything was really quick. I love how many toppings there were and how close it was to campus. By the way, the leftover Mac reheats really well - 7 min at 350 was perfect. ”
“ FOOD QUALITY Inedible Inadequate Acceptable Exceptional Excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE Rude Dismissive Indifferent Considerate Courteous AMBIANCE Serene Cozy Pleasant Lively Bustling VALUE Money-milking Expensive Fair Economical Bargain MENU SELECTION Poor Limited Decent Extensive Extravagant LOCATION/ACCESSIBILITY Impossible Difficult Challenging Convenient Welcoming Date visited: 05/17/2024 Normally, I wouldn’t consider mac and cheese for a meal. However, I recently tried it during a free lunch at my workplace. The menu offered a variety of mac and cheese options, and I chose the one with Sriracha and crumbled potato chips, along with a soft drink. Naturally, the company manager handled the online payment. My order arrived on time and was still warm. The food came in a small aluminum tray, covered by a thin lid. Although the portion was small, it was dense. The aroma was rich, and the taste was soft and creamy. The Sriracha added some flavor, though it wasn’t very noticeable. The chips remained crunchy, thanks to the lack of excess liquid. I finished it as quickly as it had arrived. I'm not sure whether my order was a small, medium, or large, but this portion was unacceptable as any sizes by U.S. standards. If this were Japan, I would totally believe that it was a large. Since I wasn't the one paying, I will still give this shop a perfect rating for the quality of the food. ”
