HOLY-OH!-MAC-N-CHEESE!!! Mr. Mac's Macaroni And Cheese was suggested to me by our friend, Deirdre C., while I was staying in Manchester recently. What a great tip! When I walked in, I was a little surprised, but not at all put off by, what I'd call the "fast-casual' dining feel of the place. The place isn't huge, and is very busy. It has the look and feel of a fast food joint, but serves food that far exceeds fast food quality. There are over 20 basic menu options in three size categories, and with a mix of any of the ingredients they offer, the possibilities are almost limitless. We stepped up to the counter, and placed our orders with a polite, friendly young woman who asked if we were dining in, or having our orders to go. We replied that we'd be eating in, so she said that because there was a short wait for a table, she wouldn't put the order in until we were seated. Nice! She produced a number on a disk stuck to a small pole that we put on the table that opened up a few minutes later. Shortly thereafter, our extremely hot, cast iron skillets filled with, for me, a medium size order of lobster macaroni and cheese (can I get an Hallelujah!), and a small cheeseburger mac 'n' cheese for my sister arrived. They were brought with sturdy plastic forks and knives that fit with the fast-casual vibe of the place. The wonderful, cheesy, concoction in the skillet had an adequate amount of large pieces of very flavorful lobster. The cheese was clearly quality, as were all the ingredients. I tasted my sister's cheeseburger mac 'n' cheese, and that also was delicious! Overall, a very cool little place offering quality food at reasonable prices. They also recently opened a second store on Rt1 (Lafayette Road) in Portsmouth. "SAY CHEEEEEEESE!"

The ultimate comfort food in gourmet style? SIGN👏ME👏UP👏! Mr. Mac's is one of the best-kept (though not-for-long) secrets in Manchester. Don't be fooled by its easy-going label, though. It's perfect for a lunch spot, but make sure you arrive hungry and take their portion sizes as an exact science (when they say "feeds one," they MEAN, "feeds one to the max"!). You not only get your money's worth; you walk away fully satisfied (and likely requesting a takeout box). Flavors range from Philly Cheese Steak to American Chop Suey, but I selected the perennial Bacon Cheddar Mac. Smokey bacon bits cooked to crispy perfection and mixed in layers of sharp-to-mild cheddar with a baked-brown, toasted mozzarella topping. No matter what you order, it arrives burn-your-tongue sizzling in a cast iron skillet, fresh from the kitchen. I also ordered a side of cheesy broccoli with equally scrumptious results. The interior is clean and inviting with an exciting, startup-business or road-trip-Instagram-able feel. For example, there's entire wall comprised of artwork (much of it pop culture references and memes) drawn by customers raving about their meals. Service feels timely and personable, and the only downside is not having enough stomachs to sample every mac and cheese dish in one sitting! Fortunately, there's also takeout (Take n' Bake)! If you're in Manchester, don't miss it! It's a great family dining choice, even for the pickiest eaters, and will please foodies to no end.

Ok, I've been sleeping on this one. Always thought, "gourmet Mac and cheese... Really?...." Man was I wrong. I'm so glad my buddy dragged me in here. Because you Mr. Mac, have just claimed a lifelong customer. Plenty of Mac and cheese to choose from, each with their own flair, but the customization is outrageous. And oh boy let me tell you, I will take advantage of it next time. They have cooler drinks, as well as a drink fountain. Sauces with plastic ramekins. Not to mention the very accessable to go containers. PSA, they are right there and you will need them. We tried four of the many different options. The Classic American, The Jalapeno Popper, The go to Buffalo Chicken, and lastly, we are here in New Hampshire! So of course the lobster. Food aside, the immediate greeting one you walk in is just a pleasure. Rob greeted with energy and charisma that just set the entire experience. Welcoming and informative. As a first timer i was pretty stoked to see if the food compared. It did! Everyone reading, I don't know if you've ever really had Mac n cheese until you've tried this. The following all in my opinion. But as Mac and cheese goes, and yes including your grandma's, vs what I had... This is how it goes down. The American = 9 Buffalo =10 Jalapeno popper = 8 Lobstah is a 10 out of 10 all F***ing day! That's how good it was. Just a great over all experience. Highly recommend!!!

I had Mr. Mac's for the first time a few years ago and it's one if the only reasons I make the hour and a half drive to NH. It is amazing! So many options of mac and cheese and they're all so customizable. I usually get the cheeseburger mac (beef, cheddar and American cheese) and add pickles, along with the chicken scampi (Mozzarella, scampi sauce, provolone, parmesan and garlicky lemon zest) - both pictured below. I've also had their buffalo, chicken parm and pizza mac and cheese. I have to say, they're all my favorite. They're all so delicious. I usually rotate between the listed options but at this point I might as well start to make my way through the menu because I've NEVER been dispointed. A small is pretty filling, but since it's always a treat to visit I'll usually get two smalls; I'll finish the first, then nibble on the second and take the rest home as leftovers. I've been to one other Mr. Macs and what I have to say is the most amazing thing is the consistency. Each site is clean, delicious and most of all the customer service is phenomenal! Everyone is always so polite, attentive and welcoming. There is always plenty of seating and the service is exceptionally quick considering the miracle of yumminess that comes out!

The flavors are great, definitely a must try. The classic just cheese has amazing cheese flavors and is the number one I would recommend to try. This is way better then Mac and cheese at other fast food places. They have a huge menu of types of Mac and cheese and I wish I had more time to try more types. Only thing don’t expect gourmet Mac and cheese. The flavors are great but the ingredients are at par with fast food. The flavors are on point when it comes to different types of cheese. Only thing I wish is the chicken was fresher, it seemed liked the pre cooked pre sliced variety. It would of been elevated to gourmet if that was on point too. They also have a rewards program you can sign up on the app. In the end this is great spot that is a must try whenever in the area.

My fiance and I went here after receiving a gift card and were blown away. I got the BBQ pulled pork Mac and cheese and she had the chicken bacon ranch (CBR). We got the medium size portions and they were huge. We each had enough for leftovers.. Twice. We ended up going back a few days later and got a few different small sized varieties and again we were blown away. After you order you take a seat and they bring the food to your table. The inside is a bit cramped by the counter but the bar seating nearthe windows is less so. It was kind of loud but not so much where we couldn't hear each other. It was a great experience and I now have a new favorite guilty pleasure.
