Save your money and eat a few ketchup packets instead; they'll have more seasoning and better hygiene.

They have seating inside and outside, with Coca Cola soda machines and bottles both available. The cashier brought out my food, which is so hot the pan had a cover on the handle. Bread crumbs were recommended and enjoyed. It's still huge, even if you get a single portion. The one sad thing was for the dishes that included red sauce (looking at you, pizza mac), it was spaghetti. There was no cheese sauce mixed in, and I hate spaghetti in general. The ones with cheese sauce were fun and delicious. Not many people ate in, but there was a brisk take xout business.

The restaurant itself is located in a plaza with some other businesses, and honestly it doesn't look like much from the outside. The inside is pretty plain as well, with little decor. But what they lack in flash, they make up for in delicious mac & cheese! Their menu has so many options it's almost overwhelming! In fact, I counted 25 different varieties of mac & cheese that they offer. Everything from traditional mac & cheese with bread crumbs, to mac ala vodka, to mac pizza, mac gumbo, mac sloppy joe, mac philly steak and cheese, and more! The female employee behind the counter was friendly, and listed off some of their more popular varieties to give me ideas. I went with the MacDaddy, their most popular dish, which has all the ingredients of a Big Mac (even down to the sesame seeds) served over mac & cheese. It was amazing!!! I also got the Mac Ranch, which had fried chicken, bacon, and ranch dressing. Also excellent! They have three sizes of skillets that you can order, the "snack" (small), "mac" (medium), and "macdaddy" (large). I got the snack size for both, and even just one was more than enough to fill me up! Overall, an excellent mac & cheese spot that you can go back to multiple times and not get the same thing twice. I would definitely recommend!

Nothing much has changed... it is still cash or check, which back in 2017 didn't really phase me... but I'm pretty surprised this hasn't changed. I knew the menu prices could never have been what they were nearly 7 years ago but I was surprised even when taking this into account. A chicken parm sandwich plus a peace tea (which really should be somewhere between $0.99 and $1.99) ended up at $18.35. I was totally floored. The $6 sandwich (+ toppings) has nearly tripled in price. $2 per extra topping? I really can't fathom $2 for a little bit of some topping (onions, peppers, whatever). I know things are different but it isn't like I've been under a rock for 7 years. A chicken parm grinder depending on where you go is about $8-$12. I can name 5 delis off the top of my head that can back this up. Let's get to the sandwich itself. It was bad. Way too much breading and soggy. So so soggy. This sandwich had been wrapped up for less than 10 minutes and I nearly pulled out a fork and knife to eat it. I'm so sad. I gave this place 5 stars before. I won't be returning I'm sorry to say. PS: He wasn't the nicest either. I know you don't work for free. But I do have a right to ask about the price.

We also ordered a single cheeseburger, onion rings, chicken tenders and a milkshake. Everything was delicious, but the milkshake and onion rings were outstanding. As we dined, we starting talking to the man who took our order. Turns out he is one of the owners. He was so hardworking and approachable. He really took time to chat with us while still taking orders and cleaning the dining area. This location has been open about 7 months.

Emma at the Monroe CT location has a very poor attitude. Ordered a banana split blizzard, to go. Got to the car, open the bag, the ice cream is dripping all down the sides because the cup was overfilled and Emma just shoved the to go top on anyway. I removed the top, getting sticky ice cream all over my hands and dripping down my arm. It was a horrible mess. Went back inside and Emma refused to make another one because she didn't see anything wrong with what she did. Do not recommend the rude service at this place! read more

@heidi wouldn't you be annoyed if a person like you came in with a bad attitude blaming the staff for kids running around, and than has the nerve to write a bad review as if it's their job to go yell at kids?!

I've gone to this DQ many years simply because it was my childhood store and I live nearby but I hadn't been in a while; when I went tonight it wasn't like it used to be especially because of the 8 teenagers that seemed to just be packed in there doing nothing but talking, and while the ice cream was good the service was rude and seemed bothersome to them to... do their job. Weird but I mean what else can be expected when there are nothing but a bunch of lazy 16 year olds sitting there chatting all night, anyways I'd consider having staff that wouldn't make such a comforting place a hostile environment when ice cream is literally as innocent as it gets.

It's like it hasn't been deep cleaned in 10 years. There's also no restroom! People seemed nice to us. I won't complain about them. It seems like a lot of kids working, to be expected. It's basically a fast food ice cream chain so what can be expected. The real issue is, they need a manager there running the ship. The crew was all over the place when I was there. They kept looking at the order receipts, running around chaotically. Asking each other questions etc. I think they need a boss or someone there that can help the crew out with direction. I think lack of management was the issue. I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Go find a mom and pop place nearby. This place is just not as "cool" as it once was.

I already knew what I was craving, but it took my bf a while to decide what he wanted b/c there were so many choices. He wasn't sure what to get! We ordered the mozzarella sticks as an app to share, & they were good! They had a nice cheese pull, which I love, but they were a little overcooked. Some of the cheese had already melted out of the mozzarella sticks, but they were still tasty. For my meal, I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap w/ sweet potato fries, & it came w/ coleslaw and a pickle. The chicken in the wrap was crispy & flavorful, which I loved! The wrap itself was delish, too, but it needed more hot sauce. One half was a little dry, while the other half (it was cut in half)was perfect, which was kind of weird. And those sweet potato fries were GOOD! They came out hot & had the perfect balance of crispiness and softness. They weren't too crispy or too soft,they were just right! And let me tell you about that coleslaw... SO YUMMY! I love me some coleslaw! It tasted fresh & had the perfect amount of mayo and black pepper. Our server, Chris, was really sweet, but I do think he could've been a little more attentive. @ times, I felt like I was bothering him when I needed something.
