Lisa LNovember 15, 2013The mush Mac and cheese tastes like heaven. When I order Mac and cheese, it's usually heavy, but this was light and creamy with perfect ant of truffle oil. Can't wait to go back!!!
Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013BEST MAC IN NYC! Pick up an order to go or dine in at one of their limited and small tables. You can also dine at Delicatessen next door and order the mac from there since they share a kitchen.
Adam PalmerDecember 16, 2014Its a bright yellow shop selling mac and cheese in macaroni shaped dishes, what's not to like! I had the lobster mac and cheese which was very tasty. Definitely worth a look.
Emma TowersJune 19, 2015I had carbonara was amazing wouldn't have minded more peas in my lil tray the fresh herbs they stuck on the top made it incredible best mac and cheese I've ever had 💘
A little bit pricey, but very much delicious. If you're just trying to pick up lunch, I would definitely recommend calling ahead, you'll be waiting 15-20 minutes either way.
Brandon F.May 9, 2015For those that like their childhood favorite on steroids. I recommend the chipotle chicken mac.
- Katrina PeraltaJuly 7, 2013Some of the best Mac & Cheese ever. The Margarita Mac is a great classic. Get a larger size than you are hungry for and take home for leftovers!
Kate FurmanAugust 15, 2015Try the lobster Mac and the cheeseburger Mac. Ask for ketchup on the side if you need it.
Nandi AndersonSeptember 22, 2015Great Mac and cheese! The food is fresh and you get A LOT of it! I got the small and couldn't finish it alone.
Eric DSeptember 27, 2011I was the only one here and my margarita mac & cheese took around 10-15 minutes. Worth the wait though. It was delicious and I can't wait to try some of the others!
Tomik DashNovember 18, 2014I don't know why I ordered the hamburger mac & cheese. The poor kid in me must've taken over. It was good although I heard the lobster mac is to die for.
Davinci VirtualApril 12, 2011The ultimate niche, Macbar focuses on the ultimate comfort food: mac 'n' cheese. Try the Mayan chipotle version which includes spicy chicken, Chihuahua cheese and green onions. Delish!
Their entire menu is amazing. Great cheap eat in SoHo. The girls that work there are so nice. :)
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011You cannot go wrong with MacBar and any of their awesome delicious Macaroni and Cheese. Go with the classic or try something new like the Mayan Chipotle!
Narisa OlivieriJune 6, 2013Good food takes time... A lot of time. Waited 40 minutes for 2 orders of Mac and cheese that they said were premade (when my bf asked for extra lobster in his lobster Mac). It was pretty empty too.
Jessica WongAugust 29, 2013Whoever invented this is a genius. Basically a small mac and cheese bar in the heart of SoHo, best mac and cheese for $6 only
Chris CooksonFebruary 23, 2015a bit pricey for a lunch spot but otherwise, really high quality Mac & Cheese. Chicken Diablo one had this half inch layer of melted cheese on top. Could have used some more chicken in there though.
Jamarr MillsAugust 16, 2013Small place so if you've gotta go potty go next door. Cool thing is that next door is the always trendy Delicatessen
Best Mac in the city, no matter which one you get. Def try 4 cheese and lobster fir best value. Also best to-go containers!
Love, Love, Love this place ! The to-go containers are must have. Even the classic Mac & Cheese is amazing! Great place.
Sajid MehmoodApril 4, 2012You want to get the Mayan Chipotle Chicken Mac & Cheese. And you want a medium for a filling meal, a small if you're not very hungry, or a large, for 2 people looking to keep portions small.
Sabina B.October 28, 2013Mac Quack is where it's at. Call and order ahead for lunch though, the wait here rivals the DMV
Jorge VilarOctober 18, 2011Get the medium Mac Shroom, its amazing. Coolest food container ever! Kind of a nice surprise finding this place. Well done, Macbar
The Blaq GroupDecember 6, 2011If you're carving Macbar and can't get to the restaurant, you can always have it delivered! It will make enjoying mac and cheese seamless Read more
Small and the medium are about around the same size. I had the macLobster. I thought it was alright. Really want to try the chipotle one next!
Sharif AmerOctober 29, 2014anything on the menu, mac & cheese does not go wring at this place, try the burger!
Crystal ColladoDecember 23, 2013I would come back again but I would not eat the cheeseburger Mac, I didn't care for it. I liked the stroganoff Mac best.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsAugust 13, 2015Two words: Mac Lobster it's incredible! Read more
Stephenie DimakopoulosJune 28, 2012The Primavara is delicious!!!!! And if you get a medium or large you get a cute noodle jar to take home.
Audrey OAugust 7, 2014Not a lot of seating -- best to take it to go. Tons of options to choose from.
Nicole VelezJune 7, 2013Takes so long to get it, but its so good. I suggest going when you have time on your hands.
Thompson HotelsJune 7, 201160 Thompson concierge Paul recommends this for any fan of Mac ‘n Cheese. Go for the Mac Lobsta- Mac 'n Cheese with lobster.
Nina LoSchiavoMarch 21, 2012Macbar > s'Mac - honestly there is no comparison, the ingredients used here are far superior. The mac quack with duck confit is out of this world.
Best macaroni in town. Get the four cheese best one on the menu.
William FalconMay 31, 2014For every item on the menu, the small is less expensive per ounce than the large. Odd pricing, but tasty mac and cheese.
Ash LPMay 19, 2011Margarita mac is surprisingly awesome with just a little bit of spiciness. Better than the mac lobsta imho.
NicoleAugust 8, 2012The cheese burger mac isn't worth the money.... It's just regular mac with a tiny bit of ground beef in it... However, the mayan mac is out of this world!
Get the Mac Reuben. Or Mayan Chicken. Or.. well just get anything. You can't go wrong.
- Bullfrog & BaumAugust 27, 2012Mac Stroganoff (braised beef, stewed mushrooms and sour cream)? Yes, please!
Jillian CruzMay 15, 2012Waited an insanely long time for my lobster mac & cheese (30+ mins). Is that normal? But it was so mouthwatering good.
Joseph TerranellaSeptember 6, 2012All the flavor is in the top crust- they need to add more flavor to the sauce
Anitra CraigJune 17, 2012Lobsta Mac make you wanna smack the chef its just that good! Kool containers for dry elbow pasta haha

"The first-ever draft latte on tap--yep, just like beer--combines milk and espresso so it’s foamy, smooth and naturally sweet. Best of all, it’s also available in a can."
