Yaay! This location had several AVAILABLE vegan options! The server was very pleasant & helpful; explained the menu to me etc. I tried the Vegan Delight bowl. It was nice enough inside, not too noisy, but I decided to take it to go. Giving it 5 stars now; will only change it if the food's no bueno. ;-) read more

Solid spot if you love Mac and Cheese. You get to pic your base cheeses, and toppings from a Chipotle style menu. They also have regional specials and store specific specials. We got the Classic mac (my daughter), the Philly Mac (my son), and I got the Nashville hottie. I tasted everything and this is a solid Mac and a cheese spot. You aren't going to get your mom's mac and cheese here, but for a chain spot it was really good! All the entrees we creamy and cheesy. Just depends on the proteins and veggies you want. I will speak mostly to my Nashville Hottie grilled cheese since I ate it the most. The sourdough bread was soft enough to be palatable and savory with the butter. It hold up great to the filling which is ample. I love the idea of fresh pickles mixed with a Nashville Hot Oil and the creaminess of the muenster cheese. Special shout out to the employee who was both really nice and accommodating to my kids' requests regarding ingredients, I wish I would have grabbed his name. I will be back especially with kids. Only reason for four stars is I can make a better mac when needed. Still really good though. read more

Fun spot, especially for kiddos (who eat free on Monday's). Quick friendly service. Decent food, generous portions, side of tater tots and tomato dipping sauce. Build your own bowl or grilled cheese or pick from the set menu. Tried the Buffalo chicken which has a decent amount of chicken. The best of both worlds had a sandwich with Mac inside. Clean place with fun decor. Shared parking with the rest of the plaza. read more

Color me unimpressed. The kids Mac and cheese had undercooked pasta (no not al dente it was undercooked). The lobster grilled cheese was terrible. The green onion on it was totally burnt which gave it a bitter taste. It was overpriced at $19.99 and a total waste of money. The tater tots did not impress. The tomato soup was actually pretty good and the Mac and cheese bites were pretty yummy too. read more

Cheesy vegan deliciousness on the go. Ok so I won't lie this is def my to go to spot for carry out into the movies. Lol sus. Anywho I love the cheese sauce cheese slice combo melting method. I also love the fact that you can add all of the veg toppings you want and that they use Beyond Beef as a protein source option. That brand is way cleaner unlike some of their other competitors. Also, parent win, kids eat free with every adult purchase once a week. Now I've had great care and good deals at many other of this chains locations but I have to say that the pines and dykes location really exhibited great customer service practices. Shout out to them for having an absolutely clean location even during the lunch rush hour time, multiple options, and very courteous employees. Great experience. read more

I tried, it, i liked it, but I don't think about it when I lay my head down at night. After seeing a lot of ads and hearing about I heart Mac and Cheese, I had to try it because..well..i heart mac and cheese. It is one of my favorite foods. A whole restaurant dedicated to the art of mac and cheese is exactly what I need in my life. I checked out yelp, read the menu, and decided to go with the buffalo chicken. Again, buffalo chicken is one of my top foods, so combining the two sounds like a match made in heaven. I stopped in, placed my order at the counter, and waited for the food to be ready. The service was prompt and friendly, so there are no complaints with the staff. It is in a large plaza, so parking isn't an issue. Finally the food was done. I raced home, chomping at the bit to taste this masterpiece of spice and noodles, unboxing it faster than a fat kid opening a cake, only to find out that it was..ok. it was alright. I ate it. I was full. It had solid flavor. it was not magnificent though. Maybe my love of these two foods set the bar too high, like a date with prom queen disappoints because all she wants to do is take selfies and talk about herself, but I was not blown away. Will I order it again? sure. Will it be a regular choice in my take out arsenal? no. Average. good. not bad. If you like mac and cheese, and don't mind paying about $10 for it, stop in and try it. Maybe your results will knock your socks off. Here's to hoping. read more

MUST TRY THE LOBSTER GRILL CHEESE! I am so happy I stopped by to check out there menu! Not only can you make your own customized Mac and cheese bowls but they have so many creative signature options. I have to say the lobster grill cheese blew my mind away! It was loaded with lobster and had such a buttery cheese my flavor. It also came with a tomato sauce to dip it in which brought the meal to an entire new level. I would definitely recommend this place for a family outing or to bring kids. They also offer indoor seating so you can choose to sit inside and eat. The decor is super cute as well and spunky! read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a late night spot and we found it!! It was open late so we decided to try it, I was confused as to how to order but the staff was nice enough to explain.

Loved the breadcrumbs on top, my total favorite! read more

First time at I heart mac n cheese. The customer service was friendly, and the place was clean. The ambience was fun with its creative walls and greenery. The concept was fantastic: choose a base (pasta, cauliflower, brocolli, quinoa etc) and add your toppings). I had the lobster and white truffle mac n cheese, and my sister had the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. The lobster mac n cheese had nice chunky pieces of lobster, which was quite substantial. The buffalo chicken though, had chicken chunks with buffalo sauce drizzled on top. When I think of buffalo chicken, it is completely tossed in the sauce. The problem with the pre-made items prepared and waiting to be chosen, is that the flavour does not immerse into the pasta (and in the case of the buffalo chicken, it is simply drizzled on top). The cheese mix also settles to the bottom because the rue is a bit watery. You can shake and toss it, but it will still settle to the bottom, leaving the food tasting a bit bland until you reach the bottom of the bowl. So overall rating I give a three. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't fantastic mac n cheese. read more

Oh M Gee! They have vegan cheese, it's creamy AND it's flavorful! Also, they have a build-your-own option AND vegan meat options! I was in love and after trying I Heart Mac & Cheese, I am more! They also have your normal dairy cheese and meat options too, so don't panic! Many topics to choose from as well. As I mentioned, you can build-your-own or choose one of the preselected options (you can customize that too). Did I mention they have vegan cheddar cheese and vegan smoked gouda? I haven't had the vegan smoked gouda, but i'm sure as heck going to try it next time. Looking forward to my next visit to explore more topics and flavor combinations. read more

I was unimpressed. The kids grilled cheese was a better value than the adult and it comes with a drink. The toast they use is regular toast but it wasn't buttery or toasty. It was bland without that. They do have a variety of cheese options but still limited. The Mac n cheese bowls and veggie bowls looked filling and not a bad option. Their cookies were delicious and not that expensive and have 2 sizes. The tables seat 4 and u can bring another chair over if u r 5, but more than that you have to sit at 2 separate tables. It's a quick eating spot so you can be in and out in 20 minutes. read more

Great place with delicious food! I loved the lobster Mac and cheese and the included tater tots with the grilled cheeses.

First visit and was pretty disappointed with their misleading. On the menu they gave us the price for their lobster mac and cheese was $16.99 but they insisted to charge $19.99 saying that they didn't change the menu but price was $19.99 not $16.99 as showing on the menu. That's absolutely unacceptable! Is that even legal? I ordered the steak and mushroom mac and cheese, I couldn't barely find any steak. Management needs to work on getting the right price menu for their customers. Misleading its not ok! Probably wouldn't go back there read more

The food was horrible. The Pembroke Pines location is definitely trying to cut cost. The Mac and cheese sauce is loaded with flower and the chicken is soaked in salt. The sauce had so much flower it was grainy. I have eaten at different locations and have never had this issue. I tried to email management about this and have yet to receive a response. I paid $11.72 just to throw out all of my food. read more

Went last night with the boo for a date night to check it out... last time I went in to just get the menu and it smelled so good, I knew we had to try it. Decided it was going to be our cheat day... and boy it was sooo worth it. Their menu is great lots of choices and you can make your own dish. He had the Philly cheese steak and I had the chicken with broccoli and bacon. It was so creamy and delicious we ate like we hadn't eaten is ages lol ... definitely going back to try the lobster and the Cuban read more

I am tired of giving this place a pass multiple times. Maybe the first 3 out of 6/7 times I came here I could blame "having an off day" but at this point it's ridiculous...I am tired of the okay food service... the people making this food NEED to be trained. I spent 38 dollars on this meal, drove home, and came home to this. I am done ordering from here for good. This is disappointing. 1. Not even what I ordered 2. Pasta every time I order is not saucy and has dry pieces like it was put into a fryer or something 3. cheese isn't even on the full sandwich and is NOT the cheese I ordered. Highly upset, and the person was young and had friends in there who said to me when I came in "she's cleaning and we are closed" when I was picking up my food. Done done done. Get new people who actually care about what they are cooking please, because this could actually be a really great consistent business. Really just needs trained staff to cook this food. I came here because their tomato soup is amazing and 2 times out of the 6/7 times I came the sandwich was great and not burnt or half edible, but it's not consistent and it's super expensive for it to be that way. Their cookie cup was also really good. read more

Finally decided to give this place a try after my daughter had been harassing me to try it. Nothing to write home about macaroni and cheese is mediocre and over priced. I've made better macaroni and cheese or even lobster mac & cheese at home. I'd say if you're in the mood to eat mac & cheese, don't feel like making it at home and don't care about it being overprice then come on over! read more

This place was pretty amazing and I love all the options in creating your own Mac and Cheese. They have a set up, where they put all the ingredients in your Mac, in front of you, and then slip it into the oven so the cheese as well as everything else can warm up. They have this cheese sauce that they add to all of the Mac, and then you add what cheese you want. If you are a Mac and cheese lover, then this is the place for you. I can't wait to go back! read more

VEGANS THIS IS THE SPOT, THANK ME LATER!!!!!! I've never ever seen a mac & cheese spot in any state I've been to! I'm not a fan of pasta but their Mac & cheese is amazing! They have a beyond products, sausage to the patty to the crumbles if I remember correctly? I wasn't a huge fan of the grilled cheese but they use the daiya cheese slices & I didn't like that very much. But this meal was quite memorable & wish I had more to bring to California, will be back when in town! read more

Overall the service was great, the chicken was a bit chewy, the taste of there was any blah.

Second time around and it took me way too long!!! Decided to come on my own, but whatever my treat!! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. It was not busy so they took care of me right away. This time around I decided to go for the Best of Both Worlds pasta bowl. Ugh no regrets. This comes with short rib, American cheese and white cheddar cheeses, bbq sauce, scallions (I added), and breadcrumbs. Seriously just melts in your mouth. Amazing. This was based on to-go order but the restaurant was very clean. Can't wait to try the next pasta bowl! read more

You would like this place if you love more than just mac and cheese. They have many different types and add ins to choose from. It is very clean and nice to eat in if you decide to or you can take out and eat in the comfort of your own home. I gave it 3 stars because I wasn't extremely crazy about it but I'm not the biggest Mac and cheese fan. My daughter enjoyed it more than I did. Definitely a different type of place to try. read more

As a lover of mac and cheese, I would have to say this place is worth a try! It's not gourmet, but it's simplicity is what's most appealing, and all the cheesy goodness of course. If I had to compared it's style to any other restaurant it would be Chipolte and the idea that you can build your own mac and cheese bowl, very customizable. They offer other options as well, so if pasta isn't your thing they have grilled cheese sandwiches, tater tots, and salads. The inside of the restaurant is a lot cuter than I expected it to be too with its fun wallpaper print and cute little plants everywhere. My husband and I tried recommendations from one of the employees: Philly Cheese Steak and Baked Chicken Parmesan. The Philly Cheese Steak was in my opinion better than the Baked Chicken Parmesan, it really tasted like a Philly Cheese Steak, just in mac and cheese form. As for the service, it was quick, friendly, and the manager came to our table and greeted us. So take a lactaid and go mac and cheese crazy! read more

I saw this place on a TV commercial last week, so decided to see what the hype was about this weekend. Well I was extremely disappointed. I walked into a very crowded restaurant. I said, well the crowd must mean it's worth it, so I stayed. No one really directing anyone where to go or how this "assembly line" operation" works. Well I waited 45 minutes to get my food, not because making a grilled cheese or a bowl of macaroni takes long, but more because they were very unorganized and had a very inefficient setup. There was 4 of us. I order Mac and cheese, the other three ordered a grilled cheese. We each got a drink and shared a side of tater tots. The cost was $50. I thought I heard the cashier wrong, but I had not. Again, must be worth it with this crowd. Now the food was nothing special. Grilled cheese was just two pieces of regular bread, with a slice of whatever cheese you chose. The Mac and cheese was just macaroni, with your topping and some cheese sauce added to it. Did it taste okay? Sure. But I'm sure you all can make this meal at home a lot better (and cheaper!) I'm going to end this review with the presentation, because it should show you why to avoid this place. This is a basic grilled cheese, with American cheese and tomatoes. They run this through a conveyer type oven, then slapped it together and serve. The most nerve wrecking thing is the server clearly saw this and still felt it was acceptable to serve to me. Please avoid this place at all cost. You'll thank me later. read more

I happened to be in the area so decided to grab some Mac and cheese for dinner. I've had samples at local events and was impressed. In the past I've tried the Cuban and regular cheese. This time around I had the Philly Cheesesteak ($11.95). It had slow cooked short rib, red onions, mushrooms and Muenster cheese. It was pretty tasty and the portion was large enough to split between me and my husband comfortably. I do wish they put more toppings on it. It didn't seem like too much of the short rib. This location was very clean and the food didn't take long at all. I'd definitely come back to try the Buffalo Chicken Mac. read more

So after a full day of running and working out my girlfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a carb loaded meal. I had no idea this place had opened or that it was even a thing. My girlfriend suggested it so we went and tried it out. The location is perfect in my opinion, right next to the movies and multiple food/store spots. The restaurant itself was simple but had some great decorations to really make the place look nice. They had the menu set up with their signature dishes and then you could also opt for the build your own option. Then you can also go either pasta or grilled cheese option, so that was also interesting that they added that to the menu choice. The concept seemed familiar with the signature style and build your own option but it's with mac n' cheese and grilled cheese so I was pretty excited! For my build your own: large, regular pasta(never asked which pasta we would like) guvyere cheese, celery, tomatoes, and short rib. Also drizzled truffle cream/oil on top with added bread crumbs. Overall it was tasty, I would have liked to go with another pasta style next time and probably go with the regular size because the large left me feeling stuffed. Definitely have more to try out! Would recommend to any macaroni fans out there! read more

Really came in above my expectations. I was a bit concerned as my meal was being prepared. It looked pretty messy when the staff (who are super nice BTW) assembled all the ingredients. But after they ran it they the broiler, it looked a lot better, and it tasted really good. The cheese sauce and sliced cheese combination works. Prices are reasonable, $8 for a "kid" size, $10 for a full size. The kid size is pretty filling. Or you can get your choice of ingredients on a grilled cheese sandwich. read more

This place has a lot of potential. Quick and easy - good to grab before going into your movie at Regal Cinemas. It's right next to WingStop on the left side of the plaza near the Costco gas lines. For all items, they are put through a short conveyor belt to "bake" or melt. My boyfriend got the BYO grilled cheese and I got the Baked Buffalo Chicken bowl. The mac n cheese base is good - the noodles were al dente and the cheese was mixed pretty well. The salty-ness was okay for me but I can see how many people would like the option of adding more salt. The restaurant should definitely invest in salt and pepper shakers for each table. My boyfriend was pretty content with his ingredients. However, our biggest issue was that both items could have been a lot warmer. Both of our items went through the conveyor belt so you'd imagine that it would be warm and toasty but it was almost room temperature. I think if we had left it out any longer, the cheeses would have hardened. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place but I'd consider stopping by again in the future after they've worked out the new business kinks, like the salt and pepper shakers - I feel like this is pretty standard. read more

4 stars because the staff is usually not knowledgeable on their own menu but oh my god the food is delicious... the only other negative thing I could say is how little love they show when it comes to portioning their meats cause I've been cheated out a couple times of the chicken or the short ribs on the best of both worlds. read more

I'll preface by saying that I placed my order for delivery. I cannot speak about the service but I can about the food. Being a huge mac and cheese fanatic, as soon as I saw the name of this place I knew I had to order. I ordered the mac and cheese with Parmesan cheese, crispy chicken, and bacon. The sauce was the creamiest cheese sauce I have ever had. The food, even while being delivery, tasted very fresh. I also ordered the loaded tater tots to share and they were just as delicious! The tater tots are covered in cheese sauce just like the mac and cheese and I will definitely be ordering this again. I'm so glad this new place has opened up near my house for mac and cheese cravings or a quick meal. I heart I Heart Mac & Cheese! read more

I ordered via Uber eats and I was blown away at the quality and flavor. Tasted great, pretty classic and traditional tasting Mac and cheese with cavatappi pasta, liquidy cheese sauce, not thick or creamy or stringy melty cheese, topped with a bread crumb/cracker crumble, and the most perfect buttery grilled cheeses, customizable, & built to your liking. If you're looking for either dish come here and you will not be disappointed. I do find the pricing a little costly, especially if you want extra toppings. It was $30 bucks for two dishes. read more

As a plant-exclusive no oil, salt or sugar eater, the Pines has very few options that aren't a plate of wilted warm lettuce. I Mac and Cheese just added quinoa, riced cauliflower, corn, chickpeas and black beans (all made without oil or salt!) to their bowl building fare! I wish the heater would heat it all the way through, but other than that, kudos to this company for bringing in fresh food and lowering their prices! The property was super clean, smelled really good upon entering. The staff was friendly and courteous, answering all of my questions!
