Ordered from the website linked here. Food never arrived. Phone number went to a single beep, then disconnected. Texting the business via their site went nowhere as well. Either this place is closed and is still accepting orders, or it's poorly run. Either way, would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I must say it's one of the best mac&cheese I've ever had. I got the mac&cheese with bacon . If you're a fan of mac&cheese then I recommend this place for you! read more

Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory - Build Your Own Mac - Cajun spice and jalapeño - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Update to review: Dinner tonight consisted of The Club Sandwich (American and Swiss cheese, honey ham, smoked turkey, bacon and tomato), a cup of broccoli cheese soup and coleslaw. So mad that I didn't get a bowl of the soup as it was delicious! There were strings, you hear me, strings of cheese in the soup. Thick, cheesy and so good. The Club Sandwich is my sandwich. I will try to do the others, but not sure they will make the cut. This crap is filling like a mug. This is my second time ordering from here, but I am thinking this place is a heart attack waiting to happen between the cheese and meat. But I guess it is a chance I will have to take. This meal takes Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory to 5 stars ***************************************************************************** Amazing what you can discover in your neck of the woods thanks to Yelp. This place is literally down the street from me. I have pass this building a million times taking Leland as a short cut to bypass traffic on Lawrence. Thanks to one of my peeps (Shay R) bookmarking this joint and me seeing it, I never would have realized that Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory was open for business. Frankly we had no idea what the place was. There are chairs and tables in the space, but we never saw anyone going in or coming out. They only deliver. There is no option for pickup on Chicago Eat24, which is a shame since I could literally walk down and get my own food. I am a lover of mac & cheese and didn't feel like cooking dinner, so I decided to give this place a try. Ordering on Yelp was pretty easy. There is a $4 delivery charge and I paid it because I didn't feel like making dinner (#firstworldproblems, #thestruggleisreal). The menu looked interesting as it covered desserts, appetizers, soups, mac & cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. I like the fact that they have an option for you to create your own grilled cheese sandwich or mac & cheese with decent number of options of items to add. The delivery service was fast and the food was hot when it arrived. The order consisted of the following: The 3 Little Pigs Sandwich - Dr. M got this. There was nothing left and he said it was good. He loved the Texas toast as the bread. Loaded Fries - great flavor. Fries were crunchy like one of the reviewer's said and there was plenty of bacon. Could have been more cheese on them. Seemed like the cheese was poured on top of the fries once they were placed into the container. I would recommend layering the fries and cheese for maximum flavor. The Bacon Burger Grilled Cheese Sandwich - I got this and it was absolutely divine. The flavors were well suited together and the Texas toast was beautiful. It was thick, buttery and golden brown. I didn't even mind that my last bite didn't have anything in it but cheese. Coleslaw - I am funny about coleslaw. Not a big fan of mayo and I will not eat just anyone's coleslaw. There is a fine balancing act of cabbage to mayo to seasonings to achieve perfection in coleslaw. The place does it right. Don't know if it is made fresh or they purchased it from a vendor. Don't care...I loved it. I will say that their price is a little steep for the size of the container. For $4 it is smaller than the large size from KFC (they do coleslaw right too), but I would get it again. Black and Blue Mac - this was good, but could have been better. It was cheddar and bleu cheese, Cajun steak tenderloin and fried onion straws. There could have been more bleu cheese in it as the cheddar somewhat overwhelmed it. I would have loved to have that mix of cheddar and bleu cheese co-mingling. Steak was tender Chocolate Decadent Brownie - solid brownie. It was slightly warm. Couldn't tell if that was the way it was served or due to being next to the warm food. Next time I will be going to Lindo Guadalajara to get some coconut ice cream to go with it. Didn't get soup, but they look interesting. The idea of getting soup and a grilled cheese sandwich delivered to me is a concept I can work with. The grilled cheese won me over, but the jury is out on the mac & cheese. I want to try it again but do my own version, which will most likely be awesome. Overall, I like the concept of menu and will be a frequent customer of this place. Prices are not bad and I can live with the $4 coleslaw. read more

Four menus for four carry-outs under one roof. They don't have standard wait service but they'll try their best to serve you in-house should you decide to eat there. They offer a few high top pub tables for those wanting to dine-in. Though mostly they are a delivery/ carry out kind of joint. Why four different menus? Who knows. They want to offer a variety of food but do so under different names. So be sure to tell them under which menu you will be ordering. It's okay to order a mix. How is it? I got carry-out three nights in a row. Life got hectic and crazy and wasn't allowing me the time to cook at home. So convenience had to do. The food is tasty and when picked up on time, you should enjoy the quality. I'm not a mac n'cheese connoisseur so I can't tell you whether it's mix or milk and cheese. It tasted and looked good. The quality of the cheese didn't strike me as cheap and the dish carried some good flavors. They offer a couple varieties and the one I ordered came out well, there's a photo in Yelp images, it's known as Cheesy Lisa. It contained cheddar and chihuahua cheese, taco seasoned ground beef and jalapeno peppers topped with sour cream and crumbled fritos. Yes.. loaded. Also tried the club sandwich with Texas toast, rib tips & fries, and their onion rings. The onion rings are definitely mass marketed, frozen product and not worth the stomach space. As it does not contain real onions, merely onion meal. They offer a large styrofoam container of it. That's a size bigger than what most fast food grills would offer. I'd wager there are items they sell that are not made in house and of the frozen variety. Those you'll have to figure or inquire with staff. As far as what I had ordered I have been happy which is what brought me back day after day. read more

Best Mac and cheese ever! My daughter said this is her new favorite place! Note: the address on the building is different than what is posted here. We almost left because we couldn't clearly see the name. Looks like 3 places in one so you have to walk up to the door to see their name. read more

Delicious! We ordered deliver tonight via Yelp (which was actually via grub hub). We had the Parmesan Garlic chicken fingers, Cajun fries and the Cheesy Lisa. All of it was still warm and tasty by the time it was delivered. We requested a few modifications (jalapeños on the side and extra ranch) and it was honored. There was plenty of food for the two of us and enough for leftovers. This place is great for comfort food and I'll definitely order again. read more

I ordered here from UberEats. It was a new recommended for me and I was pretty hyped reading the menu. I had no expectations because I didn't look up any reviews beforehand. When ordering for just myself, I try to keep my UE total under $20, so I settled (quickly) on the Loaded Baked Potato Mac. It was appx $14 which was reasonable! My order came quick and was neatly packaged for delivery and still warm. I was surprised at how heavy the bag was! The portion was HUGE and I split it into two (one for next day's lunch!). When I say this was one of the best macs I've ever had, it's no exaggeration. It was creamy and full of flavor. I loved the addition of potatoes. It reheated great the next day too! I can't wait to try more dishes here. My only feedback is that I wish the chives had been fresh chives but still worthy of a five star review. Will definitely order again and already bragged to my roommates about how great it was! read more

So this place isn't a restaurant... really. It's a takeout place that you can sit and eat at. The owner was very pleasant, but it was obvious that this was not the plan for his business. They are primarily a delivery/pickup business, and judging by how busy it was - a pretty good one. It's 3 "cuisines" rolled into one location. The Mac and cheese menu was what drew us there, but we got items off the "sandwich" and the "comfort food" menu. My daughter had the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese. There was so much on the sandwich it was oozing out! The "side" of Mac should last her about 2 weeks (it was a decent portion). My wife had the meatloaf, which was tasty but didn't blow her away. I had the bbq bacon burger. Cooked well, tasted great. Crispy fries. Solid A. Also got buffalo fries with blue cheese (rocket fries I think). I wasn't a fan - but it was a neat idea, and I did want to try them... so I'm not knocking them, they're just not for me. To summarize- decent delivery/take out place. Good food. Good portions. Definitely not a date spot!! read more

A low-key carry out location with varied options to chose from. I couldn't find the place at first because of how hidden it is. While it's a little hard to find, the search is worth it, as there is more than just your basic mac and cheese options and the food is delicious. read more

uhm yes, order anything from any menu and you won't be disappointed. Perfect to prevent that hang over, great left overs for the hang over and even better with out booze! Stopped in randomly before going to Carols and was in heaven. Carry out or delivery only but you can eat if there's spots at the 3 tables they offer. read more

MacFac has become one of my favorite treat meals in Chicago. The Chicken Cordon Bleu Mac & Cheese is to die for! I can pound a whole serving and be stuffed, but an order is a nice portion for 2 at about $12 for pickup. I highly recommend anyone who's in the neighborhood check this place out! The owner and employees are friendly and seem to genuinely care about their customers and maintaining the highest quality meals. Just call them up and you can walk in for a pickup. I always pay cash to help the business. I even sat down at one of their tables and ate with a friend one afternoon. Keep in mind its like fast food dining, so no service, which is great with me! read more

So if you used delivery then it was probably simple to get this good food. I decided to pick it up because I worry that grilled cheese and fries would be cold by time it got to me and the order in process is a little confusing. Now on to the main point, the food, it was awesome. Grilled cheese was top notch and garlic fries were delicious. I hope they stay around and one day have dine in. read more

I got this delivered as my last cheat meal before starting Paleo ... and it was the perfect "last meal". Great choice!! Even under delivery, the Cajun fries arrived crisp and delicious!!!! Chicken was juicy with a great breading. Honey BBQ sauce was on point! Now I'm regretting my choice to lose weight for that summer bod! Lol read more

My boyfriend and I live in Roger's Park and had been going to the build your own mac n' cheese shop that opened up here over the summer. Though they have good food, it can be pretty pricey and doesn't seem like it's worth it. We stumbled upon this place on Grubhub as it showed up as a new restaurant so we decided to try it out since prices were lower (even if we had to go to pick it up in Uptown). Worth noting that right now, you can only order pick-up or delivery. We ordered for pick-up and our food was ready in less than 25 minutes at about 6:30 on a weeknight. The portions are huge and the food is super good. The food was still melty-cheesy by the time we got it home and the quality makes it worth the price. Only complaint would be little variety for build your own mac n' cheese compared to other places, but the topping choices are included in the price so totally fair. Bottom line: Great comfort food and hefty portions. Love it! read more

I'm obsessed with this place already tbh You can order quarts of broccoli cheddar soup. QUARTS. And it is SO. GOOD. Also, delivery fee isn't bad and they deliver heckin late. This place is great. I've ordered from here 3 times in 2 days lol read more

WOW! The parmesan chicken tenders were AMAZING. I usually don't order fries when having dinner delivered because they never hold up well, but my order came with fries, and they held up very well. I'm so happy I decided to have a cheat meal and order from here! read more

Omg..... How are my loaded fries still crispy? How are they so amazing? How is the BbQ Mac and cheese so just so .... No words for this goodness. read more

I ordered the grilled cheese burger on Saturday night. It was extremely disappointing. The cheese was not melted, the bread wasn't toasted or grilled, the burger was grey, and one measly slice of bacon. The fries were decent, but for $20 (price of food plus tax and delivery) it was such a waste of money! Look, in the time of Covid-19 I desperately want to support my neighborhood small businesses, but I can't support poor quality food and seemingly no care for what this place is serving. Next time, I'll just go to a fast food joint. Or scour my own fridge. read more

Delicious! Huge portions! I ended up ordering way too much with just an order of Mac, loaded fries and a brownie. Definitely have leftovers! Will return here for sure. read more

This spot was an unexpected gem that serves large portions of mac & cheese. We went here with another couple and even though it's not really an eat-in restaurant they have some tables where you can eat and it worked out fine. Super tasty! read more

Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory - The Cheesy Lisa: Cheddar and chihuahua cheese, taco seasoned ground beef and jalapeno peppers topped with sour cream and crumbled fritos. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I don't know what the hell these great reviews are about, but this place sucks for Mac and cheese. Like REALLY not good. I bought the classic Mac and it is Kraft Mac in cheese with added cheddar and bit of breadcrumb on top, put in a broiler. The flavor tastes exactly like the box, actually the box Tastes better. It was watery consistency. Baked Mac n cheese should be stiff. There was nothing good about this dish. I stupidly ordered two orders and ended up throwing one in the trash. My daughter was the only one who seemed to enjoy it, but she's a kid and will eat anything with cheese. If your an adult who has had experience with decent macaroni and cheese, you will be sorely disappointed. This is strictly kids Mac. I won't ever come back to try anything else because if they can't even get Mac and cheese down, and it's in their name, how could I trust that they can cook anything else? read more

The food was great! However, I requested no plastic utensils and was sent them anyway. This is actually illegal in Chicago if they are not requested and the plastic is very harmful for the environment. Please be more mindful of only sending utensils if people specifically ask for them in the future. read more

Never super impressed. Tried it a few times, and usually the macaroni tastes gritty, like the cheese powder you get out of a bag. Seemed to me like they rely on people craving Mac and cheese, versus delivering a quality product. read more

The portions are large, and packaging ensures the food is hot - not warm, HOT - on delivery. This place has my favorite cheese-sauce-to-melted-cheese ratio. Garlic parm fries were delivered crisp and hot and mothertrucking delicious. I'm full and have a ton of leftovers. read more

My fiancé and I saw this place when we were out walking and decided to try them out. My fiancé got the lemon pepper chicken tenders and fries and I got the Cajun chicken tenders. And it was all so so good. You get a lot of food for the price. We had leftovers for the next day. We also got their brownie for dessert which was pretty good also. read more

My wife is in the other town because of her work. Sao I'm the only one to take care of our kids. Since I don't have time to cook because Ill assist them in online class I decided to order a food. I ask them what they like and they said anything that I chose. So I search on yelp and find a fast food. Because its first on the result I order at this place. I order a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Loaded Baked Potatoes and Little Pigs Sandwich. After a half hour of waiting it came hot and fresh. My kids like the taste of all the food that I order. I also like the taste of it. It's good that they didn't disappoint me on ordering to this place. Highly recommend this place. read more

The food is great, but the service! Such great people. So kind and so generous! I haven't had a grilled cheese yet but the Mac and cheeses, chicken tenders and desserts are on point! But the people.

Every time I've had it it's been almost literally Kraft Easy Mac. If they make from scratch- which I doubt- they don't cook the roux so you taste gritty raw flour in the cheese. Overcharging people for comfort food. read more

WoW! This place is great. I had the three-cheese grilled cheese on texas toast, tomato basil soup, coleslaw, and chocolate chip cookies. That had to be one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! Perfectly toasted, extra melty, and extra cheesy. Soup was awesome and I even loved the coleslaw. I had a late night delivery, so I had doubts, but everything was great AND the chocolate chip cookies are made to order - they were still warm!!!!! OMG, I wasn't ready for this deliciousness so late at night. So surprisingly good, I can't wait to order again! read more

Excellent grilled cheese with bacon, garlic fries, chicken tenders very good! Quick delivery service

Great Mac and cheese. Really everything on the menu is great, even the simpler items like the fries. I'm just salty because this is the second time I've wanted food from here while hungover and I've had to find Mac and cheese elsewhere. I say open up at like noon, at least on Sunday's when people are waking up from a weekend of going out to bars . ;) read more

The food was ok. Pretty sure they didn't batter the chicken tenders. They look like they came out of a bag. The one good thing about this place was the portions. The soups seem homemade. read more

Got delivery from here and servings were large and delicious. The pulled pork mac'n cheese was delicious as were the chicken fingers. Delivery was fast and efficient. read more

It's a takeout/order only place but there are tables so you can eat it there. We ordered Texas grilled cheese sandwiches and fries, and tomato bisque. Tomato bisque was little bit too sweet to my taste but it still tasted delicious, and OMG grilled cheese sandwich was the bomb. It was so much better than Cheesie's and fries tasted really good and there were generous portions for both of us although we only ordered one fries and I got chips instead. The lady who worked there was super nice as well. We will definitely come back here to try mac snd cheese :) read more

Stopped in not knowing it was a delivery place, but they let us eat there anyway. Delicious food and friendly staff. The owner even gave us a sample of their Mac & Cheese. Left with menus to order from in the future. read more

Huge menu! I ordered the mac and cheese with baked potato and bacon. Super delicious. Very heavy food so I was ready for a nap afterwards. I do wish they has a website or an actual restaurant to go to. It was a bit pricey but the portions were quite large. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. read more

Quick delivery and it did not disappoint. The food tasted fresh and it was still warm even though it was frigid cold outside.
