Mac Daddies and a little more — Restaurant in Haverhill

If you love mac and cheese this is not the establishment to go to. Family of four came to $67.37 sit down eat it on. First off you can't choose a size that's when we should have walked but we stayed and ordered anyway hoping it was as good as it sounded. The price was insane especially for the portion you get doesn't make sense. when you go to an actual Mac and cheese establishment like Mr.Macs in Manchester nh you will understand what I mean. The mac and cheese which is the star of this establishment was bland way overcooked (waterlogged) and was not pleasant at all. My wife ate half of hers my son and I went to McDonald's and my daughter ate it as she didn't want to waste it even know I told her the trash can was fine. this place needs to step up their mac and cheese game or make a new name because this place would be flattened by people who actually care about mac and cheese. It sits in sort of a steam table and is basically mush. Terrible won't be back my coke vanilla was good but funny part is the menu says they carry pepsi so.....

Update to my review per comments from the owner: yes they were bland I am talking about your Mac and cheese itself as far as your pulled pork my son absolutely hated it hence why we went to McDonald's for a happy meal and my wife had the og which she said was bland and not very pleasant hence why she ate half and tossed the rest. I again ate a few bite of my angry cock as you call it on the menu I did not like it at all so I bagged mine and my sons to bring home to a relative. Again my daughter ate hers as she dose not like to waste things. I did not report it to the one employee working as he was busy if you watch the camera he was only around us for a few minutes while we were in there as I assume he was cleaning up for the night and not one other customer came in so he didn't have to be upfront. I am not sure to this friend you say I have as I don't know anyone at the establishment mentioned in my comment Mr.Macs in Manchester nh to which I highly suggest you yourself try to see what your doing wrong. The steam table but... comment made me laugh it's mushy just take the criticism and deal with it as a normal business would as you can see as I have just read I am not the only one upset for paying for your overpriced water downed pasta. Tou can put lipstick on a pig all day it's still a pig so your toppings shouldn't be what you rely on. Finally "Flatten" yes I mean I have had kraft mac n cheese at the 99s better then that and no I don't have a friend their either. You know David reading the other comments on here when someone has something negative to say about the food at your establishment you're very quick to be defensive and get very frustrated about it do you know how many restaurants are in the Merrimack Valley that can do a way better job than what your establishment is pulling off thank you for the invite to come back for another meal but I am all set having spent nearly $70 I'm being so frustrated I had to go to McDonald's I am all set with coming back for more food I appreciate it and wish you the best of luck Update: Ryan F must be friends the with the owner here as you see his post mimics the owners post saying i have a friend at competitors establishment which is funny because if i did i would not be eating here I would give the friend my money also your competition is 45 minutes away??? Lol last i checked competition is local. That being said your post is...

Mac Daddies, Haverhill, MA

Pepperoni Pizza: If you’re the type of person who dreams in cheese and crust, Mac Daddies is your new happy place. These folks don’t just make pizza—they make a love letter to the art of pie. We went with the pepperoni, as true pizza foodies do, and it was straight-up magic. The crust? Perfectly thin, crispy with a light chew. The cheese? The kind of rich, high-quality stuff you want to savor in every bite. And those cupped pepperonis? Pure perfection, crisped to a delicious edge. This pie doesn’t just hit the spot—it exceeds it. Every. Single. Bite.

Teriyaki Ribeye Steak and Cheese: Okay, so I’ve had my fair share of subs, but this one’s a whole other vibe. The sesame-seed roll? Light and flavorful, just the right balance of soft yet sturdy. The homemade teriyaki sauce was like a gift to the tender ribeye—deeply savory and beautifully balanced. You might not see the cheese, but trust me, it’s there, holding it all together in a melty, ooey-gooey masterpiece. It’s the kind of bite where everything just clicks—perfect ratio of filling to bread, no soggy moments in sight.

Meat Candy Mac Bowl: Let me tell you, this bowl was like if comfort food had a glow-up. We went for the candy turkey burnt ends, and they were drenched in that homemade sauce—sweet, savory, and totally addictive. Nestled on top of a creamy, velvety mac and cheese, this was a flavor explosion from the first bite. It’s the kind of dish you don’t want to stop eating, ever. The flavors just work, and you’ll catch yourself scooping up every last drop.

Sidewinders: I had zero idea what to expect, but these crispy little gems were the perfect sidekick to the main event. Think steak fries, but with a little more finesse—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I’d love to see them take it up a notch with some funky seasonings (hello, truffle parmesan?), but honestly, they were so satisfying as-is. 100% satisfied my French fry cravings.

Staff/Environment: Mac Daddies has that warm, cozy vibe where everyone feels like an old friend. The owners are totally hands-on, genuinely passionate about their food, and it shows in every bite. The vibe is chill, laid-back—but with an undercurrent of serious culinary expertise. You’ll want to pull up a chair, chat about the food, and leave with a full belly and a big smile.

We’ll be back for sure. We drove all the way from Nashua, and it was totally worth it. If they ever decide to expand to NH? Let’s just say they’ll have a cult...

Took 40 minutes for an annies mac n cheese style mac an cheese. The overcooked texter + the bland taste= the exact experience tiny tim must of experienced while he was eating that sloppy Porridge from Oliver Twist…except im not asking for more. The street corn mustve been sitting in the back of the fridge for 2 1/2 weeks because ive never seen a seasoned-less, brown street corn in my life. Was that a layer of sour cream on top? Or curdled milk? This is the perfect example of instagram food. A decent idea, may look good online, but no cooks in the kitchen. Gotta be better if youre charging 15 US dollars for something i could get at bjs for 50 cents a box.

That being said. The burnt ends were good and the buffalo chicken as well.

This is what i imagine, you cook the pasta, and it sits(no longer than an hour but could be up to an hour) and while it sits it is still hot which means its still cooking, resulting in over cooked pasta. That does not excuse the lack of flavor in the mac an cheese. No salt, no other seasonings, no passion in the dish which are the basics.

Do not say your mac mac and cheese is fresh when you are using store bought shell pasta with a tubs with a 5 ingredient cheese sauce that was found on the internet, and add baby rays bbq sauce to “add a twist”. There is either no cook in that kitchen that has consideration of its customers or one without a certain level of competency that would serve this food unless they were trying to capitalize on cheap food to turn a quick buck.

Haverhill had a mac and cheese spot in downtown a year ago, the only reason they got shut down is because the owner was a grease ball with his employees otherwise it wouldve been around for a long time. Dont make the same mistakes but instead screw the people who are paying for your product.

A better mac and cheese will...
