Dinner under 8.00...unheard of. This place is so inexpensive for what you get, which is a cast iron skillet of yummy, cheesy goodness that is so flavorful, served with a slice of crisp bread. The small size was almost too much food for one meal. I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac. The decor is nice, the employees were pleasant and the bathroom was clean. During the dinner hour the restaurant was practically deserted so it was a quiet place to be on my phone. Almost has a coffee house vibe. Wish they would open one on the West side, but maybe it's good (for my weight loss attempts) that they don't.

Originally, and due to not investigating the dining area (because of the advertised Mac and cheese being a delicious distraction), I had thought this a traditional restaurant environment with servers. Instead it is a deli style with walk-up to the cash register/menu. I like these, so not a disappointment in any regard, plus it's light and spacious and clean. The staff are warm, professional and also friendly. I had the Popeye's Mac and cheese, and going by the pictures on the menu I was confident it was going to be a great experience so dove right in with the 'Mac Daddy' size portion. This was too much for me to eat in one sitting, but they have take-away boxes easily and readily available. This dish is remarkable, reminding me of the way my grandmother used to cook it (not overstating) all savory and creamy and cheesey, and perfectly crusty/crunchy on the top. Also on the top, a perfectly baked savory, crunchy piece of garlic bread perfectly complimenting. I will be back, and bringing my Friends.

When ever we come to town, we always seem to end up here. It's our go to place for some great mac and cheese. Food is always great and service has always been professional.

Coming to Wisconsin we knew we needed to try the cheese! My son looked up local eateries and found this place. It was neat to learn they are local and have been able to open multiple locations due to their success!

I live in St. Louis, and this was the second time I've stopped in while visiting. This visit was every bit as outstanding as the first! I had the jalapeno mac. It was absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

My family absolutely positively love this place! Nothing better than an awesome bowl of Mac and Cheese. This place does it well with all kind of varieties. The kids all love the Original Mac. My wife is a big fan of the Carnitas Mac, and I Tried The 3 Little Piggies Mac. So good!
