"I was here twice with my family and had a great experience every time. On a Friday afternoon when the restaurant was not very busy, but welcomed and received a menu immediately. Our server was super nice and friendly and the food came fast! The first time we ate here, we ordered the Build Your Own Mac (less with Grazianos sausage and mushrooms) with their Pub Pretzel Stick, along with their Hot Ham Mac and Cheese (Texas Toast, American Cheese, Ham, and Mac and Cheese) with the Onion Tanglers (ion rings). Both tasted great. I definitely recommend getting the Pretzel Stick as a page. It is basically a soft bread stick on the inside with crispy pulp on the outside...win...win. The Hot Ham Mac Sandwich is surprisingly not falling apart, and it is not overloaded with Mac and cheese, but has a good balance. I also ordered their Ham and Potato soup (as a lighter option): nothing overly exciting, but it tasted like a classic homemade soup. Our second time there, I ordered the Build Your Own Mac again and added Brisket (available on Friday) with blue cheese and broccoli. Also get a victory slap on the pub Pretzel as the page. It was great! The Brisket is definitely Craspier (sometimes unexpected), but a beautiful texture and smoky taste added to the Mac. We also ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, also very good, and ended with a clean plate on it. This place will probably be one of my family's most important go-to restaurants."

Julia is by far the best waitress I ever had! She immediately greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. She's so sweet and funny! If you go here, please Julia, you will not be disappointed!

The restaurant wasn't very crowded during lunch on a Tuesday, so we didn't have to wait long to order and receive our meal. We both tried their club sandwich, which was deliciously prepared. The fries were also excellent. We definitely plan to come back.

The food is great but the service is not the best. The staff is very polite but it just seems to take awhile for them to get our food ordered and they are not very prompt at drink refills.. i can't entirely blame the staff though because it seems like they are understaffed.

This place has everything. Large menu, several TVs and a play area for children and adults. A great way to occupy them before and after dinner! And the menu ranges from Wings to Burgers to Cold Cuts and Pizza and of course Mac n Cheese! Also with good starters! I would definitely go back! View menu

This was our first time here and we enjoyed it. The burgers and Mac and cheese are delicious. We tried the hot ham Mac and cheese sandwich and liked it. I appreciate that they give the possibility of the cottage cheese as a side instead of pommes. We would definitely come back while in the area.

The restaurant was clean and the food was tasty. It was a typical sports bar with a unique twist on Mac n cheese. The Mac dish was decent but very garlicky. The highlight for me was the perfectly cooked medium rare burger packed with toppings. The waitress was friendly and provided fast service.

This is the best burger I have ever had! It was huge and cooked perfectly. It had lots of cheese and the cheese curds were amazing, along with bacon and other delicious toppings...simply delicious! I also had a side of cheesy Mac n cheese. You can't go wrong with this place! Come on in or visit their new location on EP True Parkway. View menu

Food was delicious. We were given a dirty highchair for our baby and had to clean it ourselves. When a worker saw us cleaning it they didn't even offer to clean it themselves. After reviewing my emailed receipt when I returned to my hotel I realized I wasn't even given the correct bill. The waitress just told me our balance and took my card. The items were completely different and the bill was a little less than what it was supposed to be.

The Mac Shack has good Mac and cheese, and you can get it in almost any category, from appetizers to burgers and sandwiches to pizza (not salad though). There's plenty of other options too, all of which sound good and taste great. I got the Wisconsin cheese curd burger, and it was gooey and just right. The Mac and cheese was garlicky and had a couple different kinds of cheese. Food and service can take a while, but there's plenty of TVs to watch and arcade games to play
