Macdaddy's — Restaurant in Monroe

Don't expect fine dining .. it's mac n cheese, for goodness sake ! BUT .. if you're looking for a pan full of comfort food that not just your mother's mac n cheese**, then this is the place to go. I stopped in to grab something to take home late one Tuesday night .. got there about 8:15pm (they close at 9pm) .. I thought I knew what I wanted until I got stuck on trying to decide between all the tasty options that they have available (3 columns of options) .. I have been there before and I still couldn't decide .. lol I finally chose a mushroom mac n cheese that I added a few extras to and placed my order .. thank goodness I did because at least 15 more people came in in various groups and solos within the 10 minutes it took for my to-go order to be ready (it may have been less than 10 min, to be honest, I really wasn't timing it) .. and as I left, there were 6 more people getting out of a car discussing their favorites as they headed into the store. FYI .. *Reality check .. it is macaroni that you're taking out as a to-go meal .. as most of you know, pasta doesn't always travel well .. too much heat and/or water can turn it too soft or mealy .. the macaroni they use is the firmer style with the extra curl (often called cavatappi) .. so it holds up pretty well for takeout and when reheated as leftovers. **They actually do offer your mom's mac n cheese (cheddar cheese), but with all the different cheese options, as well as all the added ingredient choices available, you can truly order the comfort food of your dreams. AND .. they have tables available, so you can eat-in and enjoy your mac n cheese within minutes of it coming out of the oven .. but at that time of night, there's nothing like tucking in under a blanket on the couch and binge watching your favorite programs while digging into a bowl of mac n cheese .. in...

A place that specializes in macaroni and cheese dishes had better deliver In the taste department, and MacDaddy's Macaroni & Cheese Bar does just that. We were out for a November Sunday drive, and this place had been bookmarked for some time. It was a bit out of the way from home, but it was worth the trip. It's not a fancy joint, but clean & comfortable. Hey, Mac & cheese is blue collar food, so who needs fancy? The menu offers three sizes of cast iron skillets that the mac & cheese is served in, 25 choices, and along with optional ingredients, making your selections almost limitless. We both chose the small (snack) size since we were here for an early lunch. "Snack size" is a bit of a misnomer. I'm a large guy and a big eater, and I struggled to finish my lunch! I chose the lobster mac & cheese, while my lunch companion ordered the mac & cheese with hot dogs. Both had quality ingredients, as you'd expect. My lobster mac & cheese was very good. Not overly generous with lobster meat, but enough to make the cast iron skillet of cheesy macaroni very flavorful. My dining companion's mac & cheese with hot dogs was done with quality hot dogs. I don't know where they source them, but they were clearly a good product, making it the equal to my dish. I'm hoping they'll open a place nearer to me, maybe in the New Haven area. If they do that, I'd be a semi-regular. As it is, this location is a bit far away to be a regular stop for me. Top notch macaroni and cheese! And the young man who took our orders was very helpful in making...

I went here expecting good quality considering mac n cheese is the menu but was disappointed. My fiancee and I are known foodies so we did a mac and cheese challenge between macDaddys and mac n out. First off i think they just heat up the skillet because the actual mac n cheese was just warm, got warmer the closer you got to the skillet bottom, and the top was not bubbling around the edges nor toasted like you would get placing it under a broiler. It was also watery, very thin cheese sauce. They do offer some unique combinations of flavors but if the quality isn't there that doesn't matter much. It should also take more than about a minute and a half to get your order if it was made fresh. I tried the mac daddy. It is a unique spin on a big mac. It did taste like a big mac but because the temperature was just warm it tasted like that left over big Mac you nuke for lunch the next day. If it was hot the lettuce would have wilted but not at mac daddy's. My fiancee ordered the bbq pulled pork. Interesting pork pieces mixed into the mac n cheese with a drizzle of bbq sauce over the top. Same liquid consistency. Watery. Thin. Same temperature issue. Just warm on top hotter toward the bottom. No bubbling along the edges of the skillet. My suggestion is to retrain staff to use the kitchen equipment correctly unless this is what your intentions are to sell a mediocre product to consumers that might not know better or hope it will get...
