Not bad for a lunch spot when you're around the area! After an out-of-office work day nearby, my colleague and I stopped by here for lunch before officially ending our day. It was around 2:00 pm and we were just way too busy to even eat lunch. My colleague is a native Long Islander and she read about this place in a local food blog so she bought this city girl here.
Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by the owner and the staff. The menu was extensive and full with varieties of mac n' cheese. The owner approached us while we browse the huge menu board. He knew we were first-timers since he already knew his regulars by face or by name. We ended up taking his starter recommendations for first-timers. My colleague and I shared the Dirty Tuna Melt and the original All American.
Dirty Tuna Melt was a huge sandwich cut in triangle halves with side of thick, crunchy chips. Ingredients of the tuna melt were really fresh which includes fresh tuna salad, celery, sliced jalapenos, crushed potato chips, and with jack pepper cheese on sourdough bread. It was really tasty and had a nice crunchy texture.
All American Mac came in a small little saucer pan that is still burning hot. The top layer has been baked and crispy. It may look small but it was extremely filling from the amount of macaroni with classic american cheese and combinations of sharp and aged chedder cheeses. It was really cheesy and heavy that the both of us still had leftovers to go.
Honestly, I am not the biggest fan of mac and cheese but I have tried several more popular mac and cheese bars like S'Mac and Macbar – just to keep it simple, I was disappointed with both. Eating here and at other more less popular, local flavored mac and cheese spots made me realize they share one thing in common that I liked: the homely flavor. Perhaps, this is where the search for the best local-flavored mac and cheese adventures will begin.
I had heard great things about this place from a friend but for me it was an underwhelming experience. The space was small and clean but the people behind the counter weren't great at answering questions about the menu. The smallest mac and cheese skillet looked pretty small so I ordered a side salad to go with it. My husband ordered tater tots with his grilled cheese. First off the menu didn't mention anywhere the sandwich came with chips if we had known that we wouldn't of ordered the tater tots. 2nd when the salad came to us it was pretty big more like an entree salad then a side salad. 3rd all the pieces of the meal came to our table staggered my husbands grilled cheese came ten minutes before my mac and cheese arrived. And by that time he was pretty much done with his sandwich and the tater tots and salad were still not at the table. Maybe half way into my mac and cheese the tots and salad finally arrive. So that was super annoying. The grilled cheese was just ok my husband said and the cheese wasn't very melty from what I could see. My mac and cheese on first glance looked awesome but was very oily when you dug into it. Not certain I would come back here.
Great Mac and cheese with a lot of different choices. I got the Mac of all daddy's. It comes on a hot skillet, made to order. Very cheesy And filled with fresh ingredients. The owners are very nice and come around and great you while you're waiting. Great service, great food. Coming back to try the melts.
Only down side, they don't have a lunch deal for half melt half Mac. Def needed
I REALLY THOUGHT this would be better. This was on Restaurant Hunters? Lol, keep hunting.

SHORT RIB MAC
I got this because I remember a similar mac from "Your Mother's House". There was no salt. It was soo bland. They had sriracha there, which made it bearable, but it was terrible.
MAC OF ALL DADDY'S
My friend got this and I was surprised because this one had some real flavor with a southwestern flair: peppers, mushrooms, bacon, melted Gruyere cheese. The gruyere cheese was really good, but overall the red & green peppers overwhelmed the dish.
We got there at 735 and they said they closed at 8pm, so maybe we got some leftover macaroni that had been sitting out. I wouldn't go back for the food. The only memorable moment was our really kind cashier (a blonde girl, didn't catch her name). She recommended the popular items and described the history of the restaurant. She was very friendly and nice.
They have a great location on Stewart Ave by the mall, what a shame

I wanted to order soup, but they said they didn't have it although it was written on wall. That was dissapointing. I ordered small mac and cheese with mushroom and sweet potato tots. It was so-so.
Big mac and cheese with variety of flavors seemed fun to share as a group or family.
Was a little concerned based on some of the reviews on here, but overall it wasn't bad. The employee was friendly and it wasn't that busy around 6pm when we went. We ended up ordering a small cheeseburger mac, the sampler and a drink which came out to almost $30.
The food finally came out after about a 15 minute wait and it was sizzling hot. The portions might not look as much, but trust me they'll fill you up quickly. The food was good overall, but a tad bit too greasy for my taste.
I say give it a shot, you might end up liking it.
I'd recommend the cheeseburger (hold the tomatos and pickels!) as well as the alpine mac 'n cheese.
Similar reviews as the others. The staff doesn't seem to happy to work there. We had to clean our own table and there weren't many tables to begin with. The food is okay. We couldn't use the bathroom because someone was in it for a half hour. Deff don't want to use it now buddy thanks.
The food is very good. The mac and cheese is on par everytime, the place looks like a classic fast food joint but everything is made fresh. The sandwiches are very good too if you're not looking for mac and cheese. They have a huge variety on the menu for a place that you would think wouldn't offer so much. The prices are very good. And you'll be certain that you will leave full.
