Felt like being a fatty today. My co-workers went to Mac Mart and I asked them to pick something up for me. I don't eat macaroni and cheese very often, but it always comes to mind after a night of drinking. If you're looking for a variety of mac and cheese, though, this is your spot. I was pleased to see there were a few vegetarian options on the menu. They were sold out of the one I really wanted, so I went with my second choice, the Truffle Shuffle. It's classic mac with truffle honey, mozzarella and fried onions. This is perfect for someone who loves that sweet and salty combination. The macaroni is soft and extra cheesy and the onions add a nice crunch. I wish I could have tasted more truffle but it was still good! Definitely recommend Mac Mart whenever you're feeling cheesy! read more

Mac Mart - Truffle Shuffle (V) - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stumbled upon this unique Mac and cheese spot while wandering around Philly. We were super intrigued by the flight. An opportunity to try 6 flavors? Sold. The lender was really nice and patient and made valid suggestions for ordering. The selections were labeled and put in the cutest container. All of the other containers used at the place are microwaveable and dishwasher safe I heard him say which is a great feature. Back to the food: the macaroni and cheese was great! The original was flavorful and enough on its own but the creations we got were also great! I personally loved the spinach artichoke and my daughter loved the buffalo Chicken. read more

Traveling with a kid means searching for Mac and cheese once in a while. Our hotel told us about this spot and it was a winner after a very long day. Small spot with lots of Mac and cheese options. The basic is just yummy and cheesy Mac and cheese. But you can use it to make wild creations. I opted for the crabby Mac. It was tasty but wish I was limp crab on it instead of shredded crab. The storefront itself was small and bright with a few seats along the window. Overall, good find with yummy and hearty Mac and cheese read more

I was in town and needed lunch while working from my hotel, so I DoorDashed from Mac Mart. I got the honey sriracha chicken mac. The packaging was well done and the crunchy onions were on the side so they didn't get soggy. The flavors were really good and the portion size was solid. I would definitely order again and, if I were in the area, I would swing through the storefront. read more

I've been randomly following Mac Mart on Instagram for 10 years now so was delighted to learn that it was around the corner from our hotel during our most recent visit to Philly. After a long day, we stopped in and shared an order of their classic mac and cheese to hold us over before dinner. The cheese sauce was insanely rich and thick. It was really delicious. For me, this mac and cheese is more of a side, not a meal because of how decadent it is. My husband and I shared about 3/4 of the container before deciding that was enough. The inside is fast casual style and there are a couple of seat. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

I've been coming here since they opened. I'm from NYC but every time I'm in Philly I make sure to stop by them. I have brought students, professors, colleagues, family, and friends here. No one has ever been disappointed. It's a family business and they are amazing people. The Mac n cheese is great. I've tried a few different ones over the years and I've liked them all. Creamy, crunchy, and saucy. I also pre-order their fried Mac n cheese. I dream about it. You have to give it a try. read more

You'd really think this would be a Philly staple but AFAIK I've never heard any hoopla about Mac Mart. I'd passed it so many times that I decided I needed to try it. I'd certainly have tried a few more things on the menu and didn't give it a fair shake all of this time. It seems like the owner himself may have been working and he was friendly -- felt nice to support a small business in the hustle of such a hectic part of the city. One entree was more than enough for two to share! read more

Mac Mart - Rittenhouse Macca - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This has been a favorite of mine for years now! I try and stop here a lot when I am in the city and it is good every single time! The have so many fun Mac options but the Truffle Shuffle is by far my favorite! The space is small but really fun! Your food is ready pretty quickly. I usually get mine to go but they also have a small counter to eat at! Make sure to stop here next time you are in the mood for Mac & Cheese, you will not regret it! I have not tried it but I saw yesterday that you can order trays for the holidays, which is such a fun idea for something to bring to a party or if you are hosting! read more

Got the jalapeno popper Mac and cheese and it had the strongest flavor of processed cheese which was definitely not the most appetizing. Every single Mac and cheese is made with the same base and then topped with different add ons to change up the flavor profile but I gotta say there was definitely next to no jalapeño flavors coming through. They churn out the food fast though so if you're in a hurry this is the spot to come to because I ordered, turned my back for ten seconds and then my food was ready. The man who gave me my order was helpful in telling me that the container it was in was microwaveable. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese reheated was pretty bad, probably because the crumbs atop got soggy and mixed into the Mac made it all super lumpy. Was definitely disappointed because I loved the sound of alot of the menu items for all their creativity but the execution was lacking. read more

Mac Mart, nestled in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse neighborhood, is a must-visit for mac-and-cheese lovers. The service was quick yet informative and friendly. the interior of the place is quirky and colorful, and the menu was surprisingly creative and customizable menu. Their signature seven-cheese mac serves as the perfect base, topped with everything from BBQ brisket to buffalo chicken or crunchy potato chip panko. The space itself is small but cozy, so we left to eat in Rittenhouse square park. the interior does has nice seating though for a casual dine in. read more

I really enjoy ordering from this place! Staff is always friendly. I have sat in the restaurant and ate a couple times but there's very limited seating so I prefer to just eat it at home. Convenient location to eat in if you need a quick place to stop in Rittenhouse! My go to is usually the Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac but decided to try the Honey Siracha Chicken Mac and it did not disappoint! read more

Always love coming to Mac Mart and supporting local women-owned small businesses! My go-to is the "BBQ in a Bowl" with potato chip topping instead of cornbread flakes. So easy to get food and sit outside or take the short walk to the park. Truly a staple of Philadelphia. Thanks always, Mac Mart! read more

We were randomly walking around in the rittenhouse district and saw a sign for a Mac and cheese restaurant. I was immediately captivated by the concept because Mac and cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods! We had the jalapeño popper and crab Mac and cheese, both were great, we loved the jalapeño popper more. The Mac and cheese was creamy how we like it, I felt like it was missing something to boost it from being good to great. But I would definitely come back so it's worthy of a solid 4 stars! read more

I really hate to leave a negative review on a small, local business, but I just don't think the food tastes good. Everything else is great - packaging, service, ambiance - but the cheese/roux has a very artificial, "goopy" quality to it. Unfortunately, I would not recommend. read more

I ordered this food through delivery to work and it came pretty quick and still warm with a hefty serving, but the quality of the food was with mixed results. The jalapeno popper mac and cheese didn't taste great, it wasn't bad per say, I did finish it because I paid for it, but it tasted off and the texture was mushy. The buffalo mac and cheese reheated well the next day and tasted better. The mac itself still had a sort of sticky-mushy texture to it, but the buffalo sauce was good and the chicken was fine as well. read more

The flight packaging is terrible and has been for months. The sad part is the owner knows and says it but hasn't attempted to fix it. She sits on social media attacking those who tell them privately they need to change it. Instead of spending time trying different packaging. The packaging doesn't label clearly what one is what, is in foil so not microwave safe. A lot of product sticks to the cupcake foil. The product is good but the owners attitude is terrible and efforts to fix issues are non existent while she tries to trash people on social media. I told her privately about the problem, she spends extensive time on social media but not respecting her customers or fixing problems! Lazy and arrogant! Lost a loyal customer! One that gave them an excellent review viewed by hundreds. read more

This is absolutely one of my favorite places ever. I used to frequently them back when they were a food truck. Now Marti opened up a Mac and cheese shop in rittenhouse. It's not big, seats maybe 5 ppl, facing the window so you can people watch while you eat. But it's clean inside and they usually have music playing. The staff is nice and extremely professional. I love how fast they respond. But the Mac and cheese is off the hook!!!! It's not traditional, which makes it more fun and a bit different. I've been getting crabby Mac for about 4/5 years and I recently tried the build your own w/ ranch drizzle and OMG, it's worth a try. The pricing isn't expensive (to me). They range from 8+. The most expensive is the lobster Mac with garlic herb compound butter which is 13+ and comes in a smaller container. BUT they do give a great portion of lobster so it evens out. Additionally, their green containers are reusable, dishwasher and microwave safe. COVID restrictions: -you can't sit inside so they have a table set up outside which blocks the door. -call or text +1 (215) 444-6144 to place your order and they will have it ready when you get there. -orders can also be placed online. -if you walk up and order it literally takes less than 2 minutes for them to take your order, make it & charge you (time it lol). -the ladies have been making suburb and NJ contactless delivery to their customers. You pay using venmo, they post their schedule on Instagram @macmart -they've also been delivering meals to our heroes in scrubs read more

Really good, a fun try on an outing. Cowgirl was flavorful but maybe too much bbq sauce. Crabby mac is very strong for those who don't like seafood. Love the bread crumbs. Came out really quick kinda like fast food service. They have build your own mac but we did not try that. But with all that said, we wouldn't come back anytime soon. Maybe for another few months/years. It's not bad at all just not something typically craved. Staff was really nice and gave us containers/bowls that are "dishwasher and microwave safe". Which was great because we took some home anyways and the jalapeño oil and cheese didn't leak. read more

Mac Mart. Such a weird name, but a place that doesn't disappoint. I found this place while scrolling on tik-tok and decided to try it. This place is pretty solid for a business that makes macaroni and cheese and sells it with various toppings. I got the "Wit-Mac" that consisted of steak and caramelized onions, and the flavors were poppin' all over. With a squeeze of Mike's hot honey, I had a combo of sweetness, cheesy pasta, and seasoned steak & onions. While I'm sure I didn't get the most popular thing here, it did the trick. I have to say, though, if you aren't big into heavy food, this isn't the place for you. A few bites may be all that you can take. ... I think I'll be back read more

This place is great when they have ingredients. Every time I'm there they're out of everything.

While the service was speedy, and the decor is trendy, the truth is, the mac & cheese isn't all of that. Right off the bat I went for the BBQ in a Bowl. To describe the dish I had, it was served hot & creamy, the topping was crisp (as described) and the chicken and BBQ sauce seemed perfect. Unfortunately there isn't a place to compare it to other than my homemade counterparts so please take this review with a grain of salt. I was expecting the mac and cheese to be more flavorful and it wasn't. My bad I guess. I know what to expect next time and am going to evaluate my next dish with a different mindset. I would give my first visit to this mac & cheese mecca a 2.5 because of the following: while I thought the taste was "Meh", the service was great (speedy and friendly), the menu options are very creative (and look delicious), and the price is right! The truth is, I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED BETTER IN A RESTAURANT. I would recommend this place to myself to try again. Stay tuned for the next visit and review. *Attn: Managment* Sorry if this is disappointing. Just my initial opinion. read more

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy Mac Mart and so that's pretty much the same thing in my book. Truly the best mac & cheese with unlimited combinations. The new flights they're selling let you try a scoop of six different flavors. Complete bliss. These two women founders are queens. Love love love this place. Also, vegan options if you're so inclined. I like to take home a container of the cheese. GO get it. read more

I have walked past Mac Mart quite a few times and have always been meaning to try it well tonight was the night! I studied the menu pretty intensely and was going to go with the Cowboy (Classic Mac infused with jalapeño oil, crispy bacon, cornbread crunch & Pam Pam's buttermilk ranch) I could not pull the trigger on it as every ingredient would make me feel guilty eating such a meal. I went with the Crabby Mac and added the Basil Pesto Chicken. I mean its what you expect a gluttanous meal that comes out quick like an order at WaWa. It does the trick but wasn't magical in my opinion. The owner started this business with a food truck and hats off to him as he has a pretty dam good menu online where you can even order party trays of Mac N' Cheese for as much as $140 for a large tray (they serve 20-30 people). I can't come back here as its just too unhealthy. That being said look at there sandwich called "Return of The Mac", Mac N' Cheese on buttered Texas Toast! If I could turn back time I would go with that monster of a sandwich as that would fill anyone and it is the ultimate comfort food am I wrong....mouth drooling. So as I pass this restaurant establishment in the future I respect the business entrepreneur but I do not see myself returning unless I get insanely drunk and want to soak up the liquor with "Return of The Mac". read more

I've heard many great things about this place from instagram to word of mouth. When I finally visited this establishment it did not disappoint. I got the Wit Macaroni and it was the perfect blend of creamy, salty, sweet, and cheesy carb goodness.

Mac Mart has ruined any other mac & cheese for me because it's so delicious! I was initially reluctant to try Mac Mart because mac & cheese is not the dish that comes to my mind for a meal in the city. I was lucky enough to catch the Lobster Mac while in stock, but the Mac I really return for is the Heart Attack. Wow! Topped with panko bread crumbs, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon (and BBQ sauce as suggested by the staff), this flavor bomb pleasured my taste buds. I recommend trying Mac Mart because they have a huge toppings selection and even the plain Mac is delicious. I'm planning to bring Mac Mart's mac & cheese to my next holiday meal. read more

tl;dr the brick-and-mortar location of a popular food truck, pumping out a sophisticated take on a childhood classic Mac & Cheese: an American staple that even the pickiest of children grew up loving. It's the dish that you crave out of nowhere, and that can immediately transport you back to your childhood. And Mac Mart capitalizes on the nostalgia, serving up the adult version of this family favorite, operating under the slogan "Not Your Mama's Mac." So it's no surprise that the original food truck was popular enough to launch a physical location. The pink neon sign and bright interior beckon you in, and the aromas of cheese and bacon keep you hooked once inside. A sleek white bar with clear, plastic stools lies along the front window, while a few banana-yellow tables and chairs are situated outside. A digital menu on the left wall displays all of the mac and cheese options that your heart could desire. The friendly staff members make affable small-talk while helping to answer any questions. Choose to eat-in or carry-out in one of Mac Mart's handy, microwave-safe Tupperware. In a matter of seconds, the employee behind the bar will scoop you a hearty serving of mac and cheese (I weighed it, and it's nearly a pound!), and you'll be on your way. In the past, I have enjoyed the Heart Attack Mac and the In the Buff. Both the bacon and the buffalo chicken provide a robust flavor to complement the mac and cheese base. The cheese itself is gooier and more intricate-tasting than Kraft packets. Moreover, the panko provides an interesting texture and a blast of salt to contrast the soft macaroni. My only critique is that I wish the macaroni had some crunchy edge-bits or a charred top, but, alas, it's produced in large batches. This last visit, I decided to try take-out, and I ordered the Crabby Mac. By the time I returned home, the ensemble, unfortunately, had become lukewarm, and the panko had lost its characteristic crunch. Although the first bites were exciting, channeling the robust flavors of crab and Old Bay along with the mac and cheese that I have grown to love, as time wore on the dish began to lose its zing. Definitely opt to sit in and eat it fresh if you can, because otherwise, your meal won't live up to the hype. read more

This is some rich, cheesy, decadent Mac! Service is top notch -- friendly, fast, and accommodating. I got The jalapeño Mac and it was just perfect with the heat from the jalapeño tempered by the cheese (but not drowned out by it) and the crunch from chip topping was great for contrasting texture. Hubby enjoyed his cheesesteak next door at Cleavers but I really loved being able to hop in here for something more veg-friendly. Now if I could get one in DC, I'd be set. Overweight for sure, but happy! read more

Magic Mac! I have been waiting to try Mac Mart since it popped up on my Instagram feed and I happened to be in the area this week. My friends and I tried the Rittenhouse and the buff Mac. We felt the buff mac was just a little better (how can you go wrong with hot sauce and chicken?) but both were delicious. The base cheese sauce was rich and thick. We ate when we got home so we were a little delayed and I don't think the mac was at 100% heated up but the sauce didn't separate which was great. I would absolutely try more from here! read more
