This place is sooo good. Loves the mozarella stick! Had the nashville macaroni and cheese and it was amazing! Recommended. 3d street is such a cool place. I ordered the regular size and it was way too big ill be ordering the small next time. Dont miss out on this place!

Update…been back with sine work colleagues to try their mac diahes for lunch. Very good! We only tried the Lightning Rod mozzarella stick and didn’t realize how big and thick it was. It was delicious, but it took 4 of us to polish it down! We’re looking forward to trying more of their menu.

The Nashville chicken mac was surprisingly good! Noodles and meat were perfectly done with just the right amount of heat!

Fun little spot with arcade games. Foot long cheese stick was actually good and not just a gimmick. Regular Mac and cheese was just ok though. Bland cheese without much seasoning or taste. Service took a long while. They were slammed but multiple employees kept walking away leaving only one person to work who looked very annoyed.

Having traveled to MKE to visit with friends and sample the city, I had done some research and found Alphonso’s Lightning Rods and knew I had to have one. It was sheer dumb luck I walked into the market and found this joint, otherwise I would have paid through the nose for delivery or travel.
The counter was a little empty while they were busy doing delivery orders, but a guy jumped to the register pretty quick and got our order in. The location is nice, and the decor is fun, lots of nerdy collectibles etc.
We took the rods back to the hotel, and so they did cool down, but they still had some good stretch left in the cheese, and they tasted like a balanced mozz cheese stick. Maybe not the best I ever had, but theres something to be said about the gimmick.
Their marinara sauce, however, was super sweet and had a strong flavor of oregano and general Italian seasoning. Could probably do with some work though.
Overall, good for the meme. If you bring friends to MKE, grab a rod.

Super friendly staff and some of the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had. Hot, creamy, and better than your grandma’s. The mozzarella sticks are also legendary and massive, definitely don’t pass them up. Overall great experience, awesome aesthetic, and delicious food.

The Buffalo Mac n cheese was delicious! Paired with an orange cream soda, heavenly! My friend ordered the Rod and it was just ok. The cheese was not fully melted. I think the oil was a bit hot. However, the gentleman on the grill was very nice and it was busy. I would definitely visit again next time!

Lobster Mac was amazing. I wasn’t able to capture the cheese pull on camera, but I got a good pic of the Lightning Rod barfing

Visited Milwaukee for the day and had a great time at Rod-n-Makk. Friendly service, delicious and filling food, and while the Market Hall has a lot of unique restaurants, Rod-n-Makk’s decor really took the cake! Super nostalgic, fun decor drew me in but the food would keep me coming back.

Very awesome food. I absolutely love their fried chicken on top of their Mac and cheese. And the giant lightning rod mozerella stick is the absolute biggest and best thing I’ve ever had in my mouth 😉
