food was amazing. was in the area and has been trying to taste this place for almost 5 years now. glad I finally did.

Delicious macaroni and cheese!! We had a tough time choosing but landed on the "In the Buff" with tangy Buffalo chicken and the "Crabby mac". So rich and creamy!! read more

Mac Mart is another one of those places that I first tried in food truck form (https://www.yelp.com/biz/mac-mart-food-truck-philadelphia), and was thrilled for when it got a well deserved brick and mortar location in Rittenhouse Square. As an long admitted slacker it took me far longer to go then I intended, but when I did it led to a lunch that was perfect for grabbing on the go and eating in the park. For better or worse there are some of those who might compare grabbing a huge dish of mac & cheese for lunch to getting a tattoo. And those people might compare getting a dish of Heart Attack Mac & Cheese with bacon, caramelized onions, and potato panko crunch for lunch to getting No Ragrets emblazoned upon your neck (https://media1.tenor.com/images/033dafc252262f1142e74f14c54a7257/tenor.gif?itemid=5447006)! But there was something about that crispy bacon and panko crunch alongside gooey cheese that made itabsolutely delicious. And the portion was also big enough to last through dinner! The not as adventurous eater will enjoy the classic mac just fine. But the even more adventurous might find solace in loading theirs with Philly cheesesteak toppings, jumbo lump crab, Margherita pizza toppings, basil chicken, and then some! And if you pay with your card through Square they might even just hook you up with some future discounts in the process ;) read more

We had a great experience at this tiny place that's great for a quick snack or take out (Mac n cheese of multiple varieties). The owner was very accommodating. We didn't know that for gluten free pasta one would need to request it with about an hour notice for them to be prepared. However the owner went ahead and made us the gf version while it was busy. Our kids were thrilled. Truly appreciate her flexibility and care. And above all it was tasty! read more

Mac Mart - Wall decoration - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Mac and cheese with some toppings...the mac and cheese itself is bland and tasteless.....While the toppings had flavor...it was difficult to mix together as the little plastic container it is served in had no room to stir it up. I got the crabby mac and my friend got the "wit" mac...we both agreed that the toppings had nice flavor....but with the mac it was just eh. They have several other regular items in their menu but you can also create your own. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be as mac and cheese is delicious most of the times, it just didnt hit the spot this time...but it was packed and others seemed to enjoy it. So give it a try, you may like it more than I did....or you may agree with me. read more

I cannot begin to express how great Mac Mart is. It is not your ordinary small eatery in a major city. This is a place that just makes any bad day you have a lot better. This is a crazy world we are in. I write this just 3 days after Election Day and the political unrest is right here in Philadelphia. But that did not stop me from ordering a Mac n'Cheesesteak today. Mac Mart's comfort food just soothes the soul. For my previous visit, Mac Mart advertised the Mac n'Chizza on their social media platforms. I ordered one. Worth the hell to find a street parking spot within a 2-mile radius. Now be sure you know this. The owner is beyond wonderful. You reach out to her through the social media platforms, she is more than accommodating to what you ask for. She makes you feel like you are truly an important and valued customer. And if you say that you plan to stop by at a certain time for a pick up order, she and her staff will make it happen to deliver great mac n' cheese when you arrive. There is no doubt I highly recommend this small business that has gained popularity in the Philadelphia area. A good reason why that is the case. Five stars is exactly what Mac Mart deserves. read more

One of my favorite Philly gems. I always love to stop by for a quick lunch, and eat in the park nearby. I've also ordered the Mac mart tray for catering before, and I think it was around $70-80 and it was very well liked at the party. Would recommend for lunch or if you need a tray of Mac to bring to a party. read more

Mac Mart - a hand holding a container of macaroni and cheese - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This would have been the place of my dreams as a kid. This place carries Mac and cheese and only Mac and cheese but not your mom's Kraft Mac and cheese. Flavors and combinations abound so if you're in Philly for a few days and are a real fan of Mac and cheese then you need to plan out your mealtimes so that you're in close proximity to this place during all eating windows. They're only open for lunch and dinner so you're on your own for breakfast. I had the Rittenhouse which was Mac and cheese topped with creamy cheese, garlic sautéed spinach & artichoke dip, potato chip panko crunch. It was extremely good. Unfortunately since I discovered this place on my last night in Philly I didn't get a chance to go back to try anything else. To help round out your childhood dreams, this place also has cherry soda on tap so you can totally make Shirley temples. read more

*pssst - lean in a bit close* (Whispers) i don't get the hype here. *shrugs* Like many, i found this place via Instagram, and was WOWED and intrigued with the yummy food porn photos they'd post. I rarely go to Philly so when we had the chance, i said off we go to Mac mart. The two others i had gone with didn't know their rep by social media. I had the "heart attack," which is a bacon and caramelized onion Mac with crushed potato chip topping. Sounds amaze balls at least. But it wasn't literally the best thing I've ever had. Maybe had i tried another like crabby Mac or the buffalo Mac, I'd have had a better experience. But meh, can't say i would want to go again. Their staff was super nice and must really love their jobs. So helpful and tolerant of us out of towners haha! I'll be back in philly again...but not to come back here read more

firstly, in the storefront THEY HAVE ADORABLE LIGHTS SHAPED LIKE NOODLES. found this place on instagram before I moved to philly, and stopped in finally one day a few weeks after getting initially situated in the city. I have a lot of dietary restructions, and when I'm feeling up to anything solid cheese is #1 on my list... so the macmart is amazing to me. their noodles also don't hurt my tummy like a lot of pasta does. so far the bacon buddy and the full rittenhouse are my fav. read more

This is my first time in Philly, and first I've ever heard of a food joint that specializes in macaroni. I ordered the In the Buff bowl, and it was delicious! There are plenty of options to choose from, and I think I'll go back tomorrow since I'm only in town to visit. The service was quick, and the food was hot. It's a small place with a couple of tables inside and two small tables outside. I sat outside and enjoyed the people watching. I recommend you stop by if you're in the area! read more

The name saw it all. This shop is known for their Mac and cheese. Overall, their food and dishes are solid. The portions are on the smaller side along with minimum portions for other ingredients like chicken or bacon. I ordered the Barclay basil chicken, which was fairly filing but I felt guilty afterwards. The dish was around $10+. Overall, if you're short on time and want a quick, warm bite of food come here but if you can, cook at home for a few more meals with the same cost. read more

Think tupperware microwave mac and cheese but without the flavor. I tried the Barclay Basil Chicken Pesto and Corndog Cup macs, and they were heavily disappointing. The noodles were lukewarm and sticky. The chicken end hot dog bites tasted like they had just defrosted store brought readymade meat. Perhaps the only redeeming part was the crunch on top. I could have made better boxed mac and cheese at home. It's a skip for me. read more

Holly Mac & Cheese!!! We happened to unintentionally stumble upon this place and I'm sooooooooooo happy I did!! It was right next door to a hookah spot that we went to and of course this was the best way to end the night. If every night ended with Mac & Cheese (especially by Mac Mart)... life would be PERFECT!!! Speaking of perfect, I need to address Mac Mart's ability to stand out as a business. Taking something as simple ass mac & cheese and mastering the product is exceptionally genius. Their appearance is on point and very clean. Their packaging is spectacular. I love having the little container to go and be able to reuse it for other purposes. Also, their customer service is remarkable. We were only in there for about 10 minutes. I decided to go with the Crabby Mac, which was delicious. A homeless man walked in and was disturbing the peace. But the girls that worked there were very alert and asked the man to leave right away. Then checked on all the customers to make sure everyone was okay. I found that this situation spoke volumes. Made me feel safe and their customer service left a great impression on me. I can't wait to come back for more mac & cheese!! read more

Mehhh. I mean Mac and Cheese is normally good but I was underwhelmed by Mac Mart. Good concept though as a specialty Mac and Cheese place with lots of flavor combinations and toppings. I think this place has potential, I just wouldn't come back as is. I would recommend them having two sizes so people can get this as a side since Mac and cheese is more of a side dish than a main dish. And I would also recommend actual plates for a dining in option since there are seats (vs the take out plastic container we got) read more

I was excited to try Mac Mart out while in Philly! My friend recommended saying it was a favorite. I ordered the cashiers favorite which sounded really good! It was the heart attack + ranch. Obviously due to covid I had to get it for take away. I thought that the staff was nice it's super cute inside but the mac and cheese itself was just ok. It wasn't anything to recommend to anyone else. Maybe I just got mac and cheese that had been sitting but it didn't taste fresh. I would consider coming back though. read more

I got the bbq bowl and the chicken was dry as wood shavings and the bbq sauce tasted funky. I do like the regular Mac n cheese though

Heard a lot about Mac Mart over the past few years, so a friend and I stopped in for lunch today; and it was A-OK. You can see that this is a small place, so seating is very limited to about 6 people inside and 6 people outside (when the weather is nice). Everything on the menu is built around a sandwich-sized plastic container of mac & cheese. How others write that they get 2 meals out of this, is beyond me; but my tummy was nearly satisfied by the sized dish that it is. You have a number of interesting entree choices, based upon the combination of meats, veggies, dressings and other assorted toppings. I went with one of the more meaty options - the Wit Mac: mac & cheese with shredded steak, caramelized onions, potato chip pano crunch, and a ketchup drizzle. The meat and toppings were delicious, as was the mac & cheese base, but a little too sparse of the meat for my preference. One could also add meats to their dish for additional price, or create a bowl by choosing their own toppings. Like others have said, the macaroni was served al dente - with a nice firm texture, rather than overcooked and falling apart into mush. So the macaroni is perfect. And the seven-cheese sauce was great also. The fountain drink choices were quite limited - pepsi, ginger ale, root beer, some super-sweet cherry drink, and something else I forget. But you could also get a bottled water or other container drink. The Wit Mac plus fountain drink was a pricey $13.50. Mac Mart is great for what it is, and for those who love to get their mac & cheese fix in a quick way. read more

I was excited to try the Mac Mart after seeing them in a video on Facebook. Macaroni & Chese is my all time favorite side dish, and hearing about a place that takes it and turns time into different variations of entrées, immediately peaked my interest ... What's even better is that they deliver, so on a lazy Sunday, a friend and I looked over the menu and ordered some food. I got an "In the Buff" buffalo chicken mac & chesse, and a "Crabby Mac". To my disappointment, they were not as great as I was expecting. I prefer to have so much cheese in my macaroni you can see it stretch out everytime you pull a spoonfull away from the bowl, and these mac and cheeses were lacking that. The toppings could have also had a more generous portion for the price. All in all, they were tasty just lacking in the amount of overall ingredients for me, which is surely a preference. I say try the mac mart for yourself and decide if it's something you like or not, because this place seems to be pretty popular. read more

As a mac and cheese aficionado, you can imagine my excitement when I heard that Mac Mart (featured on Food Insider) was just a mere 22 blocks away from my apartment. I brought a group of friends to check out the hype and found pricey, oily mac and cheese. Portion size is relatively small (as expected) though the employee was trying to convince us that the container was equal to 1 lb of food which may or may not be true... Between my 6 friends and I, we ordered: the regular, cowgirl, spicy jalapeno, bbq, crab and buffalo. My favorite was a tie between the cowgirl and crab. Cowgirl definitely had more flavors and ingredients, making me feel like I was getting more bang for my buck. However, the crab was just plain good. My friend inhaled his entire bowl in 5-7 minutes. I got the regular and of course wanted to eat it over several days. SURPRISINGLY, I found that the mac and cheese tasted better reheated! There was an added garlic smell I hadn't tasted when they served it to me at the store, and I also got to pour away excess oil at home. Would I go back? Probably not. I want to sign up for their promos though because I heard Mac Mart had a $5 promotion the week before we came. In conclusion, I think they have good quality food, just not worth the trek and I'd rather spend $12-15 on a sit-down meal at another restaurant in Philadelphia. Shout out for their cool washable and microwavable containers though! Better than recycling and you're also paying for a useful container ;) read more

I came here based on a book "100 Things to do in Philadelphia before you die" by Irene Levy Baker. The Mac N' Cheese did not disappoint. I tried the basic Mac N' Cheese with pesto and chicken. The food was tasty, huge portion, and a great price. They have a lot more varieties that I can't wait to try in the near future. I recommend you give this place a try. read more

The mac and cheese here was AMAZING, you could ask for many different kinds, or you could build your own, you can add things like bread crumbs and tomatoes, but that's just the start!! The decorations are so pretty!! I love the pink and the mac and cheese art! It is so fun to sit at the tables and look out at the other stores and the people walking by. The food is delicious and the whole place is phenomenal! read more

I remember seeing this in truck form in late 2015 at the Midtown Village Festival...mostly its long line! I was working this event so I didn't get a chance to try them out then, and before I knew it, I left the country and came back with them having a brick and mortar right on 18th street! I dragged a friend from out of town along and we tried "In the Buff" and "Chicken Bacon Ranch." When you compare the two dishes, they're not all that different, and taste, in particular, wasn't either. For the price of around $10, I expected a lot more from this hot spot. The macaroni itself tasted like no one bothered to salt the water before boiling the noodles, and the cheese felt uninspired. Salt and pepper helped bring the dish to life a bit, but I was still unimpressed. My only take home (literally) from this place was the unique plastic container, which comes with a lid that you can either recycle in the store or take home and use as Tupperware. Overall, I think it's a niche concept that may or may not actually do that well around here. The main seller might be the build-your-own bowl, so if I ever do make it back to the Mart, perhaps I'll give that a try and see how I feel. read more

Mac Mart - In the buff (classic mac with buffalo chicken chunks, potato chip panko crunch, buttermilk ranch) - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

As a Drexel alum, I really wanted to love this place since it was opened by another Drexel alumni. However, I was disappointed by how confusing the process was for creating your own bowl. My friend who's vegetarian got a topping and the truffle hot sauce (which was an extra $3) but ended up being more expensive than my Crabby Mac that had lobster. She ended up getting a partial refund and the cashier tried to explain what happened but we both left confused. The Crabby Mac itself was good though. I did really like how they serve the mac & cheese in a reusable tupperware! I think that's a brilliant idea and I wish more places would do that. read more

The best and creamiest Mac and cheese in Philly!! I am so happy I found this place in Rittenhouse. The set up inside reminds of a chipotle style where you can choose your toppings and create your own Mac and cheese creation! I ordered the special of the day which was the Honey Sriracha Chicken bowl. The chicken was topped with a crispy French onion topping, a drizzle of the homemade Pam Pam's buttermilk ranch, and layered over the classic 7-cheese Mac and cheese base. So good and perfect for rainy days! read more

It was fine. Reasonable price. Very quick. Very friendly service. I just didn't think the mac and cheese was all that spectacular. It was a little dense and a little bland. They throw panko on top, but that doesn't really match a good crust from the oven. read more

Long story short, I received the incorrect container size for a Mac that my husband picked up and it seemed as though the containers were changed. Instead of the owner reaching out to come to a resolution she decided to take it to social media via FB and Instagram. Let the bad business practices continue.. After Mac Mart was upset about the last review about the downsize of their containers they decided to post it on FB. They also decided to change all their Instagram and FB posts in support of their reasoning as to why the container was smaller. Instead of just admitting they were wrong an accidentally gave the wrong size out. Here's some SS to prove it, and this just shows that they do in fact like to their customers. At least on Yelp the business has to pay for bad reviews to be removed instead of just deleting photos on the Google reviews. Btw Mac Mart, you could have just reached out, apologized and handle this in a professional manner and I would have changed my review but instead it remains as is. read more

Mac mart was conveniently located near Dilworth park in downtown Philly, so we stopped in for a quick bite to go after a night out. When we first arrived we saw that this location had been on Man vs Food, and that they were famous for their mac concoctions.

Breakup? Might I suggest the Heart Attack Mac (bacon and caramelized onions) to mask the taste of your tears. Rough day at work? Try the in the buff (buffalo chicken and ranch), which you can eat as its name suggests, while perusing LinkedIn for new jobs. Girls Night? Keep it classy with the Rittenhouse (spinach and artichoke dip meets mac, for your "healthy" friends). Forgot to make something for game day? How about the Jalapeno Popper? Jalapeno infused mac with creamy cheese dip that's jalapeno business. Feeling nostalgic for your study abroad semester in Italy but still love America? Barclay Basil Chicken Pesto (with fresh mozz) is your new amore. Control Freak? Build your own frankenmac with toppings like hot dogs, pesto chicken, bacon, philly cheesesteak, TATER TOTS, crab dip, other cheeses (bleu and mozz) and healthy things like tomatoes, roasted red peppers (if you want to pretend you're not about to eat 2 days worth of calories in one sitting), and top it off with an assortment of crunchy toppings (old bay chips, panko, fried onions). The possibilities are endless but all of them end in you feeling bad about yourself for indulging in this gloriousness (and spending at least $9 on a jacked up side dish). The mac is rich and gooey and delicious, but there's only so many times I can see myself eating here (see above). The takeout containers (aside from a few seats, they primarily do takeout) that are microwavable are a nice touch (and yes, you'll need to eat this in at least 2 settings). It's restaurants like this that made me want to get my citizenship. Long live America, and long live Mac Mart. read more

This was my first time here at Mac Mart Restaurant and I loved it! I always hear about the food truck but I am glad that they finally have a restaurant. Menu was loaded with a variety of different mac and cheeses. I ordered IN THE BUFF which was original mac and cheese with buffalo chicken chunks, Pam Pam's Buttermilk Ranch & potato chip panko crunch. It was really good but I think it was a little pricey it was $9.50 for a medium size mac and cheese. Also the restaurant was very tiny and there is not a lot places to sit. There was only 2 small tables outside but this will not be good when the winter comes. Overall, this a great place to eat original mac and cheese or try a different twist with mac and cheese they have: BARCLAY BASIL CHICKEN BOWL BBQ IN A BOWL HEART ATTACK COWBOY CUP FAT-N-HAPPY CORNDOG CUP "WIT" MAC THE RITTENHOUSE JALAPENO POPPER BOWL ROASTED RED PESTO MARGHERTIA MAC read more

First off, Mac Mart is my favorite food truck in Philly. So the fact that they were opening a brick and mortar location literally around the corner from my office... oh man you can bet your mac and cheese I was friggin excited! The store is just like the truck with an amazing selection of mac and cheese bowls packed into a cute little shop! Of course they couldn't deny that signature bright pink truck and the to-go bags are the same beautiful hue you can proudly carry around Center City that says heck yeah I just got some amazing mac and cheese, BE JEALOUS! Ok so the mac is amazing, just like the truck! They've got quite a few options and even a build-your-own. I've been here a few times - the last time I got the wit and the time before that was jalapeno of some sort. The wit was awesome... I mean really, how can you deny yourself cheesesteak wit onions, drizzled in ketchup, panko, and crushed potato chips, all on top of the warmest most gooiest most delciously creamiest mac n cheese ever! Seriously, this stuff is good. Like way more than a little bit. I like it a lot. A lot a lot a lot! As others have noted, it is on the pricey side but then again so is their truck for what you get so it's really not far off base. My ONLY wish is that they offered a smaller portion size! Sometimes I could just go for a mac snac (go ahead, steal that please - Mac Snac TM). Go eat the mac, right now! read more

Why can't I go higher than 5 stars for this review? I quit , I am not going to continue with this soon to be awesome review. Oh I am just kidding my fellow mac and cheese addicts, you know I have to give Mac Mart their props. They say if at first you don't succeed, try again until one is successful. I think that is it, or maybe something of that nature. I came on opening day to only find out they were sold out of this creamy cheesy goodness by 6 pm. I mean c'mon, this is probably some of the best mac and cheese out there, I wouldn't expect nothing less coming from Mac Mart. I could place the blame on Mac Mart for dropping the ball in not having enough, but I won't. I could also place the blame on mother nature for the rainy day. This is where every idiot was out there driving, causing accidents, and jam ups making me late, but I won't though. I will say this, my second visit made it even more pleasurable where the expectations were met. Mac Mart, I am clearly infatuated with your mac and cheese. A cheesy decadent bowl of gratification is what you'll be diving into. Mac Mart has their well known signature bowls, their concocted blends that will seriously have you saying " I want that one, and this one" . They also have a make a bowl where the options are endless, and there goes any kind of self control you think you might have. I am strong and secure enough to say it happened to me, I fell victim to this. I went with their Wit Mac, which by the way was not an easy decision to make. A "Wit Mac" bowl is prepared with cheesesteak, caramelized onions and a potato crunch laying over top. So friggin good, but I added bacon, along with sriracha to this work of art. My masterpiece has now been completed ,and I was in heaven. I seriously wanted to get another one to go, but this time I wanted to get their Crabby Mac, BBQ Bowl ,Cowboy bowl and their well known Marts Mac. That one is a 7 cheese blend by the way, and you can never go wrong with the original. The prices are up there, as Stephanie had mentioned with being in the city I can see why. You are also getting a pound of mac and cheese with toppings to fulfill ones appetites, or desires. The crew in here are all in sync , making sure there is a constant fluid pace, feeding the on-goers . These guys have always been jammed packed with those cheese crazed patrons (myself included). If it isn't that well known pink truck feeding the masses through out the city, it's now to their store. Mac Mart you guys provide a cheesy, creamy, goodness that needs to be revisited over and over again. Keep up with the great work guys, and I can't wait to see you at Night Market, on the streets, or maybe in your store. read more

Philly seems to be sprouting all kinds of yummy new restaurants and eateries all over the city! I wasn't initially familiar with the Mac Mart food truck, so when I first saw this cute storefront with its clean and modern look, I was confused as to whether it was a mac 'n cheese place or a French macaron place. Turns out, it's a mac 'n cheese place with some of the best mac 'n cheese I've ever tasted! For a (mainly) take-out place, it's a bit pricy, but I'm making 2 meals out of my Barclay basil chicken bowl (over $11 with tax). Everything tasted fresh (for mac 'n cheese), flavorful, and delicious. The pesto was legit. You could taste the basil leaves and garlic, but it was not too overpowering. There was plenty of cheese sauce. The portion was very generous and well-balanced, with plenty of chicken and fresh mozzarella pieces on top. They do have a handful of seats for eating in and some options under $10. Overall, great new addition to the neighborhood to counter the onslaught of healthy new eateries that have been opening around here lately. read more

I was a little skeptical about if different Mac n cheeses were actually going to be something worth trying, but good GOD was this delicious and interesting. We got three to try... the cowboy cup (def the best with bacon and jalapeño oil), the truffle honey one (second best) and the rittenhouse (with spinach artichoke - also good). They all tasted so different and unique. I will say, they are INCREDIBLY rich. I'm pregnant right now and couldn't even finish half of one. Luckily we got a salad from someone else that was a perfect pairing. All three were $36 total and it was a huge amount of food. I think at least 6 meals. I'd imagine it would be perfect drunk food haha. I will definitely be back to try more because they have about 30 options. The guy working there was helpful and gave good instructions about heating it up at home. 5 star place for sure. Not really dine in place tho - better for take away. read more
