We live about a block away and have mixed feelings about them as a restaurant, a take away place and as a neighbor. It is a VERY popular location and has that had feeling about it. The place is often crowded and they spill over into their two sidewalks so much so that it is sometimes hard to just walk past. We sometimes walk in the street to get around their clients. At the pickup location the stopped cars often block the street in both directions. The food is good, but not as good as the price is high. We still order it when we want to have a treat, but don't make a habit of it. One of the good things is that they have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan versions of most of their offering. I have never seen anyone get a meal that they reacted negatively to for the taste. The portions are generous enough, so there are no complaints there either. The service gives us pause. I was there last week and got a pile of patronizing sh!t from a young man who could not be bothered to look up our order. What he did not know, and arrogantly did not ask, was that I had not placed the order and was picking up for my partner. The presumptive attitude and lack of listening is typical there. Did I say that they are very popular? Expect that kind of attitude. Part of our order was so late that my partner was able to join me before it was ready. Of course some of the common items were getting cold. I consider that a bit armature and also not a surprise. Another aspect of their service that also gives us pause is the narrow demographic of the wait staff. This company has gone on radio to laud their zero tollarance sexual harassment policy. That is great. Less great is that it seems to be a requirement for the server job to be good looking, young and wearing tight clothes. Most wait staff is hot, young women, attractively dressed. Otherwise it is a diverse staff, mostly Latin in...

I love Mac N Cheese!! Unsurprisingly, I had been meaning to come to Homeroom and trying some of their Mac for a while. I was not disappointed!!

It had a very nice set-up with lots of outdoor seating available. Everything inside and out was very clean and inviting. They also had QR codes at all the tables so that you could order and pay off of your phone, and then the servers would bring over whatever you ordered, as well as some water and glasses. I wish the water came with ice, although they brought a cup of some when I requested.

Some of the macaroni entrees were pretty pricey, although I got the Gilroy Garlic Mac N Cheese, which was around $12 and labeled on the menu as one of their most popular ones. I could see why after eating it! Mouthwateringly cheesy and delicious! Great hints of garlic in it that weren’t overpowering. I also felt it’s price was pretty reasonable for the size and quality of it. I was very pleased. I also got a mimosa for about $6, which was a nice complement to it! The Buffalo Chicken Mac that my friend got kind of disappointed him, as it wasn’t as cheesy as mine, although I still thought it was pretty good (but different) than mine when I tried it.

The service was quick, the macaroni was delicious, and the atmosphere clean and inviting. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will...
