🏆 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 pay is aok! 🏆

Don’t mind the mixed reviews, this place is amazing. I ordered the 4 baked wing lunch special with classic mac (came with a ginger ale)🤤 The wings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and falling off the bone. Lemon pepper sauce was perfectly seasoned and not overpowering. The mac was divine. Sooo much cheese. The noodles were perfectly cooked so they still had bite and texture. I called ahead and picked up 15-20 min later. Everything was ready and very fresh. 10/10. I would eat here every day but I would be 300lbs lol. Only disappointment is the lunch price is $7 on the door, $7.50 on the menu, and they charged me $8.50. Still a great deal, but something to be aware of. Also, it’s wheel chair accessible which is great!

We are eating ours cold and loving it. I can imagine if we ate it right away would have been just as good. Would definitely go back next time I’m in Brooklyn, NY. I had the curry Mac and we had Bbq wings and Mac.

Was amazing! My favorite place to get Mac and cheese outside of the house

Mac Shack on Malcolm X Blvd is seriously good. The mac & cheese is the real star crispy on top, super cheesy, and easily some of the best mac & cheese in Brooklyn. I ordered chicken with mac on the side, but the mac honestly stole the show. I also tried the mac with duck! I ordered out of curiosity, and it was phenomenal and way better than expected and something I’d definitely get again. The jerk mac is also finger-licking good and packed with flavor. If you’re near Bed-Stuy or Malcolm X Blvd, Mac Shack is absolutely worth checking out for some of the best mac & cheese in Brooklyn. And the staff is super sweet!

The Mac Shack in Bed-Stuy is hands down one of my favorite spots. The food is incredible, the people are so kind, and the art throughout the space is beautiful and available for purchase. The seafood mac and cheese is EVERYTHING—my go-to every time. They definitely live up to their mission and then some. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Delicious mac and cheese, got the classic and BBQ. The small size for $3 more is huge. And the BBQ chicken was great! Total gamble on that and I would only get orders that include it. The woman at the store was very friendly. I am definitely coming back.

I love my Mac Shack Its some of the best Mac n cheese I ever had all types of different flavors with all kinds of different meat selections. Clinton who is the owner and se lah who is one of the cooks really know how to treat the customers and get them stomachs right on any night. I love this food.

COZY FEEL, COMFORT FOOD, AND WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE! THE OXTAIL JERK MAC POCKET IS DELICIOUS! THE HONEY JERK SAUCE IS NEXT LEVEL! THE FOOD WAS COOKED TO PERFECTION! THE OWNER IS PROFESSIONALLY DOWN TO EARTH AND INFORMATIVE! DINING THERE AGAIN!

Flew in from AZ and I had the shrimp/salmon mac n cheese. This was hands down the best comfort meal. It was creamy, cheesy and absolutely delicious 😋. I definitely recommend 👌....

Always been interested to try this place because I always walk past it on my morning commute. I got the jerk Mac with chicken. The outer part of it felt hot but once I took a piece from the middle it was cold. I live a 6 minute walk away. I got the large portion but the cook time should be suited to make sure it’s cook through for the price charged for it.

I was a repeat customer for the Vegan Mac even though they kept running out of vegan meat and cheese. Today will be my last purchase. Thanks to the young lady with the “edges” and black leggings that couldn’t even hand me my food or thank me for my patronage. I don’t pay just for food, I pay for good service. They only got half right, which equals 50% which, by all metrics is an “F” Goodbye Mac Shack!

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially as a big fan of mac & cheese, but unfortunately, my experience was pretty disappointing. I ordered the meat lovers mac & cheese, and it was extremely oily, overly salty, and felt like everything was just thrown together with a lot of cheap cheese poured on top. The jerk oxtail pocket was also way too oily and had been fried so long it turned black and was basically inedible. I genuinely wanted to like this spot, but the food just didn’t deliver. I hope they can make some improvements, because as it stands, I can’t recommend it.

I ordered seafood mac for pick and only received tiny salmon flakes. Upon arrival after checking my order. I told the young lady at the counter about the incorrect order. She told me they no longer sell lobster tails, and there was no more shrimp or crabmeat. The order should have been cancelled and never made. The lady demeanor was very unwelcoming and had a bad attitude. She offer me something else or a refund with such a nasty tone. I hope this business does better. Because of the lack of professionalism I will not be returning or recommend

Came here to pick up a too good to go order and that would be my 1st and last time eating from this establishment. When I first entered this establishment, the female employee looked like she didn't even want to be bothered, she was so nasty and rude, no welcoming atmosphere at all. Customer service is a top priority for me because why work for a establishment that deals with people and you don't have any customer service skills. Also, beware if you place a order from too good to go app, they make you wait like 20 minutes without letting you know you have to wait, and it's for a small mac n cheese that tasted horrible.

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. Never again.

This place used to be my go to. It was Great Mac and Cheese and Great vegan options but now they consistently are out of Vegan ingredients and the food is subpar. Customer service is terrible. There is a young girl who literally threw my order to me, across the bar. I won’t be back.
