Mac Shack — Restaurant in New York

🏆 A COLD WEATHER MUST TRY IN BROOKLYN!

This is sophisticated comfort food (the Cremini 🍄‍🟫 Mushroom one would’ve brought Anthony Bourdain here in a heartbeat! I found out about this spot online after a meeting in this area. What a treat!

Coffee and homemade cookies and muffins are also a specialty here too. There is a small “cozy corner” to enjoy a “coffee date” but the counter is the best spot to dive into your Mac & Cheese. 🫕 THIS the ULTIMATE Mac & Cheese served in-house in the cutest cast-iron pot! The presentation is everything and it comes bubbling hot!

Otherwise, get it “To-Go” in an ordinary aluminum container. The combination of flavors offered are extraordinary, they even have a well-respected VEGAN Mac & Cheese but on the day I went, they were completely out of anything vegan. So I dug into that cheese and wow wow wow, the friendly gentleman in the kitchen knows how to cook! It was so good that I ordered a second “Value Sized” one, but asked for no extra cheese on top…not a problem!

In an area with few dining spots this place should have a line around the block, especially for their lunch specials! My fancy mushroom Mac cost me about $16! But many versions of this great dish can be enjoyed at only $6.99 at lunchtime! I also linked the music 🎶 they play and the paintings created by Ladie Olvida! 🎨

This place is a cool spot to hang out with a warm treat as NYC’s weather starts getting colder. Love this spot, it’s like wearing a warm sweater in front of a fireplace, sweet as can be!!!

You’ll feel the charm and the dedication to EXCELLENCE! It’s like eating in the kitchen of a dollhouse, sooo special!

They take Apple Pay too! And other methods. Tap and...

I really wanted to like this place, but after multiple visits, I just can’t justify giving it a higher rating. I've been here 3 times, and each time I’ve been disappointed in one way or another. The first issue was when I was charged more than the menu price for a breakfast sandwich — and this was even after they were out of an ingredient! I ended up paying $13 for bacon bits and a slice of cheese on a croissant, which was absurd for what I got.

Today, the salmon bites looked like they were rushed out and honestly resembled dog food more than anything edible.

The menu is boring and lacks variety — it’s basically mac and cheese with a few meat options, but there’s not a vegetable in sight. The mac and cheese itself is basic, and honestly, it’s shocking that it’s the main attraction of the place when it doesn’t even stand out.

The space is beautiful, but the effort they put into renovations clearly didn’t extend to improving the food or the menu. The counter staff were friendly, but professionalism was definitely lacking. They really need to step it up if they want to last long-term, especially with so many better...

I've been here a few times and even rhiugh the wait is long I still come back because I like the food and want to support however after tonight I'm done. I did the toogoodtogo and have a windows of 6-7 to pick up o got there 6:40 and was told 10 minutes after 20 minutes of waiting I asked how much longer the gront guy asked the chef and came back asked me if I was in a hurry, I said yes, he told the chef stayed in the back for a few minutes and came back with a if I was in hurry I said yes he gave me a brown box and i left. After i drove off i opened it and saw it was a handful of spinach and some cherry tomatoes in the brown box. I immediately went back and asked what was this, the chef came out, I explained to him I asked what was was this box , i explained to him.why i was there, how long i waited , he looked at me and said that's all they got and walked away even though they were serving customers mac n cheese the entire time I was there. The place is called Macshack i didnt even know they served salad....
