My waitress was horrible, I was dining alone and she pretty much ignored me entirely while being kind and chatty to other customers. She didn’t give me water as she did every other table, she got my order incorrect, and didn’t check on me at all during the meal despite checking on the table next to me. At the end she offered me a free dessert, which was a kind gesture but did not make up for the bad experience.
The Mac and cheese itself was more cheese sauce than anything and gave me instant heart burn. It was actually hard to finish the meal got so boring. Save your money and your time and make Mac and cheese at home, it will most certainly be better.

So glad they had vegan options! We ordered the basic vegan mac with gluten free pasta and added fried onions! It was fantastic. Great portion size and the plate came out sizzling. The staff was so friendly! It was a bit busy but definitely worth the wait. It was our first time eating here and surely won’t be our last. Thanks so much!

People love macaroni pasta with cream sauce. Homeroom delivers. We had the chicken pot pie Mac and cheese and a vegan Mac and cheese with broccoli. The chicken pot pie tasted just like a pot pie with noodles; the vegan is always a favorite. Service was a little inattentive midday; wine list was weak (one red, one white, one rose- tasted like it was from a box). The milk shake machine was not in service the day we were in. People rave about the desserts- enough (empty) calories for a week. Leave time for a nap after eating.

Sit-down restaurant specializing in mac & cheese. They add quite a lot to it, so that the dishes don’t seem very similar at all. I got the seasonal special of chicken pot pie mac & cheese, and it was loaded with flavor.

I’ve been hearing about this place for 10+ years, and FINALLY got to try it! We went on a Wednesday around noon and it was empty. Sounds like on weekends it can get packed, so plan accordingly.
Can’t even start this review without a shoutout to our waitress Bridgette– she was so full of joy and made us feel welcome. It was literally like getting served by family.
The mac… THE MAC! So flavorful and hit the spot for cozy food on a foggy day. I tried the Jalapeno Mac, which included cream cheese. I didn’t expect to love it so much, the jalapeno really packed a punch and that cream cheese addition was fantastic. I also loved that it had the breadcrumbs on top for that crunch.
The interior is super cute, great for a big group too. Down the street there’s also a “to-go” location if you don’t have time to dine in.
I didn’t realize that there are also now locations in the South Bay, but this was 100000% worth the trip to Oakland.

Went to lunch here with my mom and we shared two dishes. I order one of the season specials the Macximus Mac with no breadcrumbs and our server recommended that my mom get their Kogi Short Rib Mac. For both of them we got gluten free noodles and they had a fantastic texture. The servings were generous so we had lots of leftovers. They reheated well in the toaster oven.

From what i understand this places reputation doesn’t even need a review because of how highly it was talked about but, here we are anyway. As a plant based gluten free person not often (or ever) do I get to indulge in Mac and cheese and holy macaroni this was single handily the best dish that has graced my taste buds. Is that dramatic? Yes absolutely but they earned it. The atmosphere, staff and options catered to dietary restrictions is off the charts. I also got their vegan gluten free brownie and it was divine. You have to go!

Delicious vegan Mac with options to add more ingredients. I ordered the vegan buffalo Mac with added veg sausage and mushrooms. Huge portions too!

Affordable and decent. From what I remember about 6-8 years ago this place use to be really good but frankly it’s losing its touch. The atmosphere isn’t all that great either but it’s a good spot for a date night if you’re looking to take someone special out.
Service is decent, beer on tap, and I would recommend coming in to try their unique Mac n cheese .
I had the chorizo mac and when I last ate it a few years ago it was memorable, today it was just so bland and over spiced. Wife was pleased with the Truffle Mac, despite my disappointment.
3.8/5 stars imo
