Mac Shack
“Kevin from The Mac Shack just delivered my food to the wine bar….they just got a perfect score!”
“I ordered a small Brooklyn Bridge Mac (swiss, fontina, roasted mushrooms, mascarpone + truffle oil), and it was simply the truth.”
“The buffalo Mac had the perfect kick and the jerk shrimp, though tiny, had just the right amount of jerk seasoning.”

Something has changed – the taste/flavor of the food is definitely lacking. It's actually a little upsetting and beyond disappointing. For this reason i stopped buying food here about 6 months ago. I decided to try again (hey, its a new year). But NO! I was wrong again, nothing changed. My mac was burnt – severely. There was no cheese. Just a bunch of chopped up/dry pieces of bland jerk chicken.
I fell in love with this place in the beginning. I don't know who/what has changed things, but i can't keep wasting money. Last time (summer 2015) i ordered seafood mac and that was not cheap at all. Burnt and wasted. Smh
Lesson learned. No more. Don't waste your time and money here. I'm so disappointed. At least i tried again.
I honestly don't know how you could go wrong with mac & cheese. The service here was great, they were super duper helpful and friendly! There's quite a selection of mac & cheese on the menu which is great because I love variety. We decided on the Buffalo Chicken mac & cheese and it was pretty good! I enjoyed every bite 🙂
FYI it is a very small spot and there's only seating along the wall + window, I would say there's room for about 7 people to sit.
I am not nearby this area but if I were ever to be around I would definitely try a different flavor!
3.5 stars rounded up.
I loved the BBQ mac and cheese.
+the flavor
+the breadcrumb topping
+the portion size (it was big enough that it served as two meals).
The negative?
-the chicken
It was glazed in BBQ sauce which was pretty tasty but lord was that chicken dry. It was almost to the point of being inedible. Looked good, flavor was good but it just became crumbles from how dry it was. Bleh.
I'm sure there will be a next time so I'll make sure to order it sans chicken.
Oh Mac Shack…definitely our "treat yo self" place on seamless. A primarily Mac and cheese restaurant, we have tried many of the combinations here and not been disappointed. Pricing is generally $7-10 for a small sized (enough for 1) portion or double that for a large size portion (serves 2 with some leftover). We usually get two small sizes so we can try different flavors. The classic is a good traditional Mac and cheese, super cheesy with breadcrumbs on top! Both Brooklyn (north and south) are also tasty as well as the bed sty (with hamburger). They have a number of unique options (buffalo, pesto, etc) that will tempt adventurous types!
A word of caution…things move slowly here so order an hour before you'd like it to be ready!
Decided to come to this place when I picked my friend up from work, this seemed like a good place to grab a quick bite and it was down the block from his work place. Service was friendly, this place is small and cozy, there is a good variety of Mac and cheese on the menu and I decided to go with Brooklyn bridge because I love mushrooms and that was the only thing with mushroom in it. I thought the food was okay nothing amazing to write home about but it was decent, the small is actually pretty big so if you do order, just order a small(enough for two people) the cashier was nice and gave a brief description when we asked for suggestions. The Mac and cheese itself tasted like pizza, probably the cheese they use.. What would have made it better is if they put bread crumbs on it instead of so much cheese on top. It would have added extra texture and give it the extra flavor it needed. I'm glad I tried it but I probably wouldn't come back since it didn't blow me away… This place accepts card
Other than the displeasing wings, I have nothing negative to say about Mac Shack. Usually when I visit NY, I have to find a way to get to MacBar off Prince St. because it has always been the best mac & cheese I've ever eaten. Now, I can avoid the Manhattan track and chill in Brooklyn with Mac Shack which is more than comparable and in some ways maybe even better than Manhattan's MacBar or S'MAC (for those who enjoy super-salty mac). The jerk chicken mac & cheese here in Mac Shack is so good…absolutely FLAWLESS combination of spice with perfectly cooked chicken and well-paired cheeses. The lobster claw mac is so good, and the bacon mac has a ton of bacon (but it's definitely shareable). If you're a newbie start off with the $12 minis – you can pick any 3 from their menu, and it's a great way to try some and find you're favorite. Once you find your favorite, you've gotta order the small just so you can be shocked at how many meals you get out of this. Delivery was very smooth, and the ginger lemonade was insanely delicious.
Overall, great drinks and some of the best mac & cheese I've ever had (minus the disappointing wings) makes Mac Shack one of the best in the area! I'll come back without a doubt!
Ordered: Brooklyn South and BBQ chicken mac
Pros–The Brooklyn south had a great crunchy top and gooey inside.
Cons–The BBQ chicken mac was way too flavorful and it was hard to finish it, even with the Brooklyn south to offset the strong flavor.
First thing first, the mac is dank. The staff is friendly and I lined their drinks. It's reasonably priced and the portions are huge.
Points off for quality. My friend and I both had mild food poisoning (so much pooping) after eating a small mac. I only assume this was due to substandard cheese used.
