Relive your childhood through Mac & Cheese ! I'm particularly fond of the Mexican Mac & Boozy Experiment called The Professor, but it's really hard to go wrong. Read about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Indulge in a dozen versions including classic, smoky bacon mac or the Trailer Mac with hot dog and crushed potato chips . Not decadent enough? There's a list of add-ons such as chorizo and a fried egg . Read more
Long lines . Get here early. Trendy . All choices are good. Great desserts . Numerous choices of drinks. I ordered creamy mac & cheese added bacon broccoli and topped with toasted bread crumbs .
Choose from about a dozen versions at Oakland's mac & cheese haven, including the "Mac the Goat ," made with tangy chevre , scallions , crispy breadcrumbs , and drizzled with olive oil . Read more
Great atmosphere with excellent waiter service. The wait takes some time but that’s to be expected and enjoyed with hot spots. Overall 4/5 food but great experience.
Mac and cheese done adult style and it is so freakin good. As if that wasn’t enough, get the Oreo cookie dessert & the peanut butter pie—tastes just like a tagalong cookie !!
Jalapeño Popper is the go to, but the vegan mac is surprisingly good too if you're not in the mood for all that cheese . Brussels sprouts are also great. And the home made Oreos are not to be missed.
If you like Mac n Cheese you will enjoy this place. Lots of variations to choose from friendly service . I had the smoky bacon . Highly recommend
Our unanimous favorite was the trailer mac with pieces of hot dog and topped with crushed potato chips . My mom totally used to put hot dog in our mac & cheese , so this was a flavor flashback for me. Read more
I make it a point to come here every time I'm in town . I have yet to find anywhere in the U.S. that beats this taste. Friendly staff too! Gilroy garlic + Big Apple always a must! Detroit loves you !
Jump on that garlic mac with breadcrumbs bandwagon, your taste buds will thank you! (Add a slice of homemade PB pie too.)
There will always be a wait. White cheddar mac with broccoli and breadcrumbs can get boring halfway through. Skip the homemade oreo dessert-the cookie is soft and tastes more like a whoopie pie .
If you’ve ever dreamed of knowing what Mexico or Hawaii looks like in mac and cheese form, this is where your dreams come true.
Got a craving for mac and cheese ? Head to Homeroom. This spot has some of the best mac and cheese in town . Favorites include Mexican Mac with chorizo , or a Greek Mac with artichoke hearts and olives . Read more
Don't be ashamed to pile on the toppings. This beauty is the gilroy garlic with sautéed mushrooms , bacon , and breadcrumbs .
This is the go to place for all things Mac and Cheese . Great twist to a homestyle favorite. They have a wide variety on the menu. If you're a truffle oil fan, get the Ivy Leaguer.
Mac and cheese lovers rejoice! Great theme/decor and great Mac. Be prepared to wait, but thankfully they come out to bring samples and waters out to the guests waiting to be seated.
Homeroom was delish. This place do have different types of Mac and cheese dishes! A must-try if you LOVE mac & cheese . There's usually a wait so get there early for brunch
Love! Can be busy, but the drive up pickup is the best thing. Staff is friendly . Great comfort food . I get the Vermont with peas and breadcrumbs . Yum!
Make sure to sit outside at this one dish wonder. Service is lovely and the chèvre mac is gluttony at its finest. If you are there in the afternoon ask for a Jittery John.
If you're vegan , you won't be disappointed by their vegan Mac. I'm not vegan , and I enjoyed their Vegan Mac. Oh, and get a copy of their new cookbook .
sriracha w/grilled chicken and breadcrumbs & gilroy garlic w/bacon Mac&cheese! professor (limeade & blonde ale ), tastes just like soda ! delishhh. & a homemade Oreo ! more than enough for two. STUFFED.
I got the Maxcimus Mac n cheese with caramelized onions , and it's incredible! This is so incredibly comforting and delicious!!!
Always a WIN. They're so nice and Mac N Cheese is great. Sriracha one is unbelievable if you like spicy . Not too expensive , but share plates
Seriously some of the best Mac and cheese around. Pick one of there specials or create your own! Remember to sign up for a stamp card.
Always a line for dinner , but it's worth it. ooey gooey mac and cheese hits the spot.
the jalapeño mac and cheese with breadcrumbs was unreal-but so was every other mac and cheese i tasted. cannot wait to go back and try some more!
Minty buttery peas were a letdown, but the mac and cheeses were great! Get a beer and don't forget to order the breadcrumbs and bacon addition on top of your m+c!
The goat cheese mac was very good - the Gilroy was out of this world. Decor also gives it a fun vibe (though painfully hipster ).
great beer and cider selection , and be sure to check out their mac and cheese special on the chalkboard ! also, the homemade Oreos : SIMPLY DIVINE.
Go with a large group of friends and then eat it family style . Plus the free home-made oreo special is totally worth it. Personal favorites were the Mexican and Breakfast Mac.
If you live in Oakland and haven't been here, fix that. Amazing mac n cheese , incredible desserts (grasshopper pie tho), good beer selection . Do it.
Nowhere in the entire universe will you get better mac & cheese , had the Gilroy Garlic and Mexican with chorizo and jack cheese , extraordinary.
Their version of a drive thru is phenomenal! Order and pay through their app, pull up to the orange cones , friendly staff brings yummy food and off you go!
The crab mac & cheese did it for me. Don't forget the breadcrumbs . The cauliflower and Brussels sprouts made a lovely side too.
This spot is known for their mac n' cheese and has tons of options. Our fav is the "Trailer Mac " with sliced hot dogs and a crumbled potato chip topping. Read more
Lives up to the hype. Had the white cheddar and veggie Brussels sprouts with Fort Point and I'm definitely going back! Enjoy!
Hawaiian mac (we went vegetarian by replacing bacon with hot peppers ) was super good!! Jalapeno popper was my second fave!
Delicious. Filling. Huge portions . I liked the Gilroy Garlic with added breadcrumbs .
My first Mac&Cheese joint and it was a great. Tried the smoky bacon Mac with breadcrumbs ,chips -too good. Will be coming back again.
The Gilroy mac is garlicky and great. Try the Brussels sprouts too
Dream combo: The Professor, roasted brussel sprouts & Trailer Mac . Yes, the one with potato chips . Double dog dare: Finish it all in one sitting. (Actually, take home the leftovers for lunch .)
The Mexican mac was deelish with a little kick, alongside the minty peas & spicy cauliflower . Finished off with banana cream pie in a cute lil parfait jar
Loved the Gilroy garlic mac . Huge portions—one order is too much for most people.
avoid the trailer park add on, it's much better in theory. But don't forget to try the real-beer ice cubes in your beer for a refreshing jolt!
Mexican Mac with Niman Ranch chorizo , chipotle peppers , jack cheese , cilantro -- and grilled chicken . Awesome.
Get the Mexican Mac & Cheese with Bacon and breadcrumbs . Gilroy is fantastic too. Actually it's all good. Don't listen to me. Order anything.
Buffalo chicken Mac and the Gilroy garlic Mac were amazing!
Awesome Food. Excellent service . Be sure to get the bread crumbs on top. Their Brussels sprouts are awesome too!!!
MAC AND CHEESE. I intend to come back as many times as I need to in order to try every type they have.
Super easy to just order online and pick up! I love the convenience. - Mere
The best Neapolitan pizza in the East Bay and an amazingly broad selection of great Italian wines. Get anything by the producer Cantina Giardino if you like natural wine. - Tim Sakhuja
The saddleback brownie is heaven on Earth. The Fenton's Special is a good second choice as well. - Jaemie Paraon
small and fun. specializing in punk and metal. live music in store. perfect way to kill the time while you wait for a table at Homeroom. - Patricia Realini
I absolutely love this venue. It's beautiful, well kept, sound is great, and the talent that comes through is top-shelf. - Luciefer
