The Buffalo-style sauce in this mac and cheese spot bursts with tangy , spicy flavor . Lovers of Frank's Hot sauce should try this immediately. The moist chunks of chicken aren't even really necessary. Read more
Buffalo Mac: deliciousness With chicken and a little kick (hot sauce & red pepper flakes on table if you like more kick). Also the Cajun! All the fixins of a gumbo/jambalaya but in a Mac&Cheese!! YUM!
The 4 cheese and Alpine are absolutely amazing! Probably the best Mac and Cheeses I‘ve had. Some of the menu items are quite disappointing so stick to those 2 and you’ll love it!
The Parisienne is our pick for "Best Mac 'N Cheese ." Elbow macaroni baked with creamy brie , roasted shiitake mushrooms and figs , finished with fresh rosemary . Try the "take and bake" for at-home fun. Read more
Four cheese s‘mac with bread crumbles. 8“ is probably the sweet spot.
A lot of them are a miss imo. But get the 4 cheeses and you’ll have a great experience.
So much better than I expected! Around the corner from Rubirosa (top 5 pizza in NY) just had the 4 cheese Mac..amazing taste and textures. Mac elevated to a gourmet level!
Really wholesome and filling mac and cheese . I think people are exaggerating about how big the portions really are, but they are definitely large, especially for the price.
It's Mac & Cheese… What isn't good here? In addition to their predefined menu items, you can create your own or they can put something together for you to bake at home.
The food is inexpensive and delicious! The Napoletana and the Garden Lite are my favourites. But trying to find a place to sit down & eat is truly a pain in the ass. So try to order ToGo when you can.
The sampler is a great place to start but the dish is a bit shallow, so you don't get the full comfort food experience. Once you figure out your flavor get a nice skillet and dig in.
My friends and I shared the Buffalo Chicken , Alpine, and Cajun. All three were so good. Very creamy and the flavors were awesome. Highly recommend!
The buffalo chicken mac and cheese was out of this world. I topped it with bread crumbs , sans the blue cheese . So worth the fat and cals.
The variety platter was good, I felt like they were more focused on the hype rather then perfecting the Mac choices though... you have to order through a kiosk too
An entire restaurant dedicated to the most beloved comfort food , mac & cheese . While you can try the fancier cheese options, the cheeseburger is an old faithful that will not disappoint.
Perfect comfort food for all! There's gluten-free and gluten-full options. Amazing amount of cheese and surprisingly ZERO pretention.
Try the 4 Cheese Mac & Cheese !! - I'm in heaven...i added roasted garlic and kalamata olives oh my god i think i have a new addiction
Best mac and cheese in the city . Come during off hours to get a seat. Try the Cajun it's amazing! If it's too crowded go next door and get a take and bake and bring it home with you for later.
Vegan Mac and cheese with buffalo sauce and jalapeño is out of this world ????
Get the masala ! It's not too heavy, is very tasty, and well worth the special mac and cheese experience! And go with the small! Anything bigger is TOO much rich food!
Sampler was delicious as well as the Philly cheesesteak . Be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes for your meal.
I got the major munch 4 cheese with bread crumbs and added hot sauce to it. I split it with a friend and it was more than enough. SO DELISH.
For the best mac & cheese dishes in the city , check out S'Mac. This personal favorite of TTMG will satisfy your mac & cheese cravings to the max. Suggest the Cheeseburger and Buffalo Chicken dishes.
Passed by this place a lot but assumed it wasn't for me since I can't have dairy...Just learned they had Vegan Mac & cheese - not bad at all...rich and creamy, very "cheesy" I would come back for this.
a cool canteen-style eatery that sells numerous variations of the old favourite Macaroni & Cheese . A cool canteen-style eatery that sells numerous variations of the old favourite Macaroni & Cheese . Read more
Delicious mac & cheese in a variety of sizes and flavors. Ask them for extra breadcrumbs !
I love the 4 cheese so much I rarely branch out but haven't had anything that's not good here. Also, treat yourself to a chocolate chip cookie - so good!
They have coupons on Yelp, Google Offers and Foursquare so make sure you use those. They were really nice and didn't give you one of those "even though we offer it we're still gonna stare" looks.
Do you love mac n cheese ? Then you won't know what to do with yourself here. Flavors from buffalo chicken to cajun to masala to philly cheesesteak , our mouths are watering already!
amazing vegan mac n cheese . if you're only dairy intolerant like myself, mix in bacon and sausages too.
Very very gluttonous. Hard not to finish it by yourself. Was hesitant about the cheeseburger but it's sooooo tasty and seasoned perfectly.
Mac and cheese in a cast iron skillet ! Try the Parisienne--figs, shiitake mushrooms in Brie cheese . A perfect combo of sweet and savory.
Mac and Cheese in various options - also gluten-free! I recommend going there!
Cajun and vegan mac n cheese - major munch - are excellent
cheeseburger tastes like hamburger helper. all american, 4 cheese , alpine are good. tables aren't too clean & pot holders on the handle of the skillet have crust from the mac and cheeses before yours.
Food is great! Even if you think you are hungry.. get the small size. Serving size is a lot bigger than the pan looks.
Slab bacon , cheddar , pepper jack , chives , garlic , spinach , hot sauce , and bread crumbs . So good! Nosh size is definitely a meal.
Food blogger Amie Valpone suggests the Garden Lite macaroni and cheese (made with light Cheddar , Parmesan , roasted cauliflower , portabella mushrooms , roasted garlic , broccoli , and scallions )
Grab n' Go. Amazing mac n' cheese . I really like the Masala and the Garden lite. My advice is to order out and take it to a nearby bar where they don't serve food.
Try the Build Your Own Mac And Cheese - #vegan coconut-based cheese with shiitake mushrooms , rosemary , and spinach with garlic
If you are gluten or lactose free it won't stop you from eating at SMAC. The menu includes these options for almost everything on the menu. They also have choices for you vegans out there. Read more
Great variety of flavors for Mac & cheese . Get the masala for something different!
Buffalo with half and half bleu cheese and breadcrumbs is the perfect balance. The Napoletana seemed like it'd be too mild with the mozzarella , but it's bursting with freshness. So good!
As far as NYC's best guilty pleasures go, the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese (major munch ) is delicious.
Never liked Mac and cheese but the Mac and cheese here is ridiculously good. I ordered delivery and got the salsa picante and a friend got the cheeseburger and it was sooo good. I think alpines next
Often super crowded , so if you're set on having a peaceful sit-down meal with a group, might not be the best choice. But the mac n cheese is just great.
Get the buffalo chicken and blue cheese it's amazing or the Parisian one with the mushrooms . Or the one with fennel
One of my favorite places in NYC. Get the Mediterranean without black olives , the goat chees is amazing. Four cheese is also great. They have multigrain and gluten free noodles also!!
Extremely worth it. More than you think. Plus bang for buck.
Cajun and 4 cheese can't go wrong.
Really good grilled cheese and tomato soup ordered on ubereats - Elizabeth Burstein
My fav, the halibut and extra virgin salad.. Definitely fresh! - Edris Nicholls
The rubirosa eggs for brunch, meatball eggs Benedict style dish, is awesome! - Drew Austin
Impressive selection of desserts. I love NYC strawberry cheesecake, carrot cake, and coconut cake. - Anna Dzhenkova
