Very cute space and a really nice touch with the to-go containers and bags. Employees were also exceptionally nice and service was fast. That said, I was underwhelmed by the mac and cheese itself - I found the garlic panko topping to over power the entire dish. I tried to remove as much as I could but still couldn't get past that flavor. I was really hoping since this place was mac and cheese only, it would be THEE spot for it. I continue to prefer Parc and Dandelion for mac and cheese - both filling and priced well. read more

Coworker wanted to go here and I said I was done. Was hoping they would have buff chick Mac and cheese and they did! It was good not amazing. The buff chick was good, the sauces really worked, it wasn't too cheesy. I didn't like the breadcrumbs on top though. I don't know if that bowl of Mac cheese was worth the 10 bucks. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here or recommend it to anyone but nothing stood out as negative. Staff was nice. read more

Bought classic mac and cheese for my son. I'm not a big fan of mac and cheese. But he looks like enjoying his mac. So it supposed to be good. They have a lot of variations on the menus. But to buy mac and cheese for $ 8 actually is top much for me. However as long as my boy is happy! The place itself looks new and clean. read more

Was in town and wanted something to eat for dinner but not a big meal. Also it was Lent so was looking for something that would work. Found the perfect comfort food solution, MacMart. There are quite a few options to choose from but I just went for the basic mac & cheese. It was delicious. Reminded me of the crockpot version that I make at home. Very creamy and a good size portion. Just enough to fill you up, yet just shy of putting you in a food coma. The location was a super convenient two blocks from my Sonesta Hotel. Employees were very welcoming and nice. Will definitely be back when I need something quick. Not a ton of seating but enough counter seats and a few outside tables which people were enjoying. The only complaint and this is just personal preference is that they have Pepsi instead of Coke products. read more

I should have continued to walk past the bright neon lights. My girl friend was crazy enough to order 3 different kinds, after a day of bar crawl drinking. I, much more hesitant. The interior, and the staff are just as cold and bland as the mac itself. Tupperware is a no, especially at such a steep price. I don't care about taking containers home or that they're dishwasher safe. The noodles weren't cooked thoroughly, and an overall disappointment.

I've been dying to try this place for quite some time, but always managed to go when it was closed. FINALLY, my bf and I (traveling from NYC) was able to catch it open. He ordered the The Wit Mac (philly cheesesteak mac & cheese) and I ordered the Rittenhouse. Wow. From the panko potato chip topping to everything about both Macs were AMAZING. It was absolutely filling and the service was quite friendly. It was so good that we were craving it all weekend and tried to get some before our trip back, but unfortunately, the place is closed on Sunday's.

The concept of the restaurant is awesome: Mac n cheese bowls on the go. but paying 15 something for one size mac and cheese is a rip off in my book. I ordered the Heart Stopper - flavor was great and the texture of the macaroni stayed intact during my 20 min walk home. its kind of amazing that the pasta was still firm after its sauced up, but that's probably the best part of this take out. my biggest beef is that i ordered a side of chopped steak and it came out in the same container (fine) but there was a very insignificant amount of meat that was added. for 5.25 additional to the 10 i ate the meal feeling jilted. I understand the price of beef went up during covid but this was just really pathetic. ill stick to making mac and cheese at home. read more

I have been walking past this place for months. Admittedly I had been avoiding it because I am a massive Mac and cheese fan and knew it sounded like a bad idea finding a new spot to feed my addiction. I was right. I never should have tried it. It was utterly amazing. I got the jalapeño Mac and cheese on the Texas toast and my word it almost knocked me out cold. Amazing. The macaroni noodles were perfect and their cheese blend is exceptional. I ordered the rittenhouse dish as well for later but who knows how long I'll hold off eating it, it was that good. Seriously such a mistake I made eating here because I'll be back far too much. Next time definitely trying their CBD infusions. Friendly staff to boot and I love their efforts at reducing waste with their Tupperware to go containers. I'd give more than five stars if I could. Epic. Thanks so much! read more

Am I the only person who dislikes this place? I went here a few times when I worked in the area because it's Mac and cheese! And i was sort of in disbelief that it would be bad. But, unfortunately, it's quite bad. The pasta is over cooked and the sauce is way overly heavy, even for Mac and cheese. It's basically like, pasta salad with overly sweet, poor quality toppings. And the whole vibe of the place is creepy to me -- it's like a lululemon is selling Mac and cheese. They also have a weird stigmatizing name for one of the dishes "heart attack Mac" -- it's not funny to be disrespectful to you customers, who would want to order a dish named that? Hard pass on this one. read more

I had been dreaming of going to Mac Mart for a little over a year and when I found out I was going to Philly I knew this had to be one of my stops. Mac n cheese is one of my all time favorite foods and I love kinds with variety and toppings. Mac mart did not disappoint all of my hopes and expectations. My friend and i each got one flavor and shared half of each so that we could try more than one option. We got the in the buff (buffalo chicken) and the cowgirl cup? I believe which was a bbq chicken with cornbread crumbs. I loved both of them but i think the bbq one was my favorite. I wish I could have spent all day there trying the whole menu. Not only were the toppings delicious, the base Mac n cheese was flavorful, creamy and cheesy. I will be back the next time I'm in philly to try more! read more

FYI: the Tupperware they serve the mac and cheese in is microwave and dishwasher safe!! TAKE IT HOME!!! WHAT WE GOT: crabby mac & chicken bacon ranch PROS: aight first of all, I gotta give a shout out to their Tupperware. Cute, tight seal, microwave, and dishwasher safe. That they let you take home!!! FREE TUPPERWARE Y'ALL. So the food is also a big win. Nicely seasoned, beautiful texture to the noodles and the crunchy toppings are a nice addition in flavor. The crabby mac's crab topping was delicious. It tasted pretty legit and didn't make the mac and cheese heavy at all. The chicken bacon ranch on the other hand was pretty hefty. Creamy and fatty and everything that comfort food is suppose to be. The portion size is just right in my opinion. I didn't feel super bloated after eating everything but it did sit a bit more after a while. CONS: I would say it's just a bit overpriced. Would I pay 7-9$ for mac and cheese every now and again? Sure. But it's definitely one of those "treat yoself" things. FIANCÉ'S CORNER: Even though the portion sizes are well sized, they only look small. They are filling though so you should be satisfied. My one gripe with the place is that a for a place that serves comfort food, the interior design has too much of a clean and cold feel to it. read more

$12 for mac and cheese is pretty steep, especially considering that the serving size is maybe less than a pound. I had the "In the Buff," which is apparently the number one customer favorite here. The serving temperature was good, macaroni was a solid al dente texture, but the toppings were underwhelming. Additionally, for a 7 cheese mac, the flavor just is not there. The service is cold and unenthused. Layout is clean and no issues with seating. read more

Let's start off by saying that I love, LOVE, Mac and cheese. Saying that, I have to say that the Mac and cheese here is so externally good, I got "The buff" and it was so creamy and cheesy that I was literally just hit with all the flavors on this. The price/quantity is very good. I think the most expensive one is about $12 and the amount is more than enough to share with someone else ( But what crazy person would ever share Mac and cheese? ) The store is very cute and although small with the outdoor seating is just so cute. The staff is super friendly and they're Sheryl temple is the best. And just the fact that they are environmentally conscious just gives them the extra point they didn't need at this point, you are actually able to take the container that they give you to re-use read more

I've always only gotten the buffalo chicken and don't think I'll ever change. The serving may seem small at first, but trust me it is so rich you will not be able to finish...which is okay because it is just as good a little later as leftovers.

If you need something quick for lunch or dinner, don't go to a chain like WaWa, Jimmy Johns or McDonalds, go to Mac Mart. The service is so speedy and the Mac and Cheese is absolutely delicious. They have unique combinations including "In the Buff" which is classic mac and cheese topped with buffalo chicken chunks, potato-chip panko crunch, and buttermilk ranch.

When Mac Mart was just a food truck, this place was so hyped up. I went to the food truck festival last year and waited in line for probably an hour for this mac and cheese. I think it tasted so good because I had been salivating for it for an hour in line. I'll admit that the potato chip panko is unique and the mac and cheese is good, but I really think this place was overhyped. My friends and I went to the actual restaurant back in September and we liked it. We loved that they gave us our food in reusable containers and we liked getting to be more creative with how we wanted our mac. However, it was still pretty average, just like my experience at the truck. I'm not saying I'll never be back to Mac Mart but I definitely have realized how much this place was talked up! If you go in there expecting to be mind blown, you'll be disappointed. read more

The calamari was perfectly crisp and came with the unexpected bonus of onion rings, which were ever-so-lightly battered and perfectly crunchy. And once again, the sauces were superb. The boys shared a cheese pizza, half pepperoni, and really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the burger, and yes, I stole a bite--and yes, to no one's surprise, it was amazing. We also ordered the charred broccoli after seeing everyone rave about it online. They were NOT wrong. Creamy, smoky, charred perfection. And finally... drumroll please... the 10 oz. smoked Duroc pork chop! OH. EM. GEEE. Perfectly charred on the outside and incredibly juicy inside, sitting in the most delicious smoky morita-apricot glaze and topped with a bright cucumber-melon salad with mint and blue basil. The contrast was perfection! The rich, smoky pork, the sweet and slightly spicy glaze, and that cool, fresh salad on top. Every bite had the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Easily one of the best pork chops I've ever had. As wonderful as the food was, the service somehow made the experience even better. From the minute we arrived, we were treated like family coming home for the holidays. Warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. What an absolute joy of a restaurant.

We chose this because the menu had a nice mix of southern and American favorites that they weren't accustomed to. You should've seen two northern boys trying to describe grits to a Swede. Our waitress was awesome. She was great at explaining things and talking about each dish. Of course there were questions. Some things probably got lost in translation but everyone was happy with their choices. I also feel like servers are always put in an awkward position when you ask them to help you choose. Food is like art. It's so subjective. So for starters we got the fried greet tomatoes and the Burrata. Burrata was not ideal for sharing with people you do not know. It was one large piece of toast. So she actually took it back and someone cut it into 4 sections for us. The fried green tomatoes were awesome. It had a nice tangy sauce with sweeter pickles that came along side. My colleague got the open faced chicken sandwich which was an enormous amount of food. It was two fat chicken pieces on two thick slices of toast. I got the salmon sticky rice bowl with a side of the charred broccoli. Both were so delicious. The salmon had some broccoli in it too. So I really over did it. The charred broccoli side had crusted Parmesan in it and a creamy sauce. Both dishes were just knock outs. Almost forgot I got the love latte too. That was really good. I got it with oat milk. So I highly recommend this place. Great for a business lunch too. Easy to hear one another. Music wasn't too loud. Oh they were very gracious with us. We were 15 minutes late because I wouldn't stop talking in the pre lunch meeting. Yeah I'm that guy. Figures I'd be on Yelp.

I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible.

It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

A few days before the birth of our first child, one of my oldest friends came down from Brooklyn…read morefor what we understood would be my final properly indulgent night before parenthood. We have known each other since we were five, lived together in New York for six years, and stayed close through marriages, children, and jobs that occasionally made us question our sanity. He has seen me at my absolute best and worst, and he was also the person who helped me get fit and regain some discipline while we worked in finance and used excess to numb the misery of those jobs. Choosing Butcher & Singer gave the evening exactly the ceremonial weight it deserved. Steakhouses take on different meanings as you move through life. In your early twenties, an expense account dinner feels like the dream: free drinks and an extravagant meal while you are broke, eating ramen, and sitting at the bottom of the professional food chain. By your early thirties, after enough wining and dining in Midtown Manhattan, the ritual can feel exhausted, and another steakhouse dinner holds little appeal. In your early forties, with young children and fewer unstructured nights, catching up with a lifelong best friend over a great steak feels incredibly meaningful, partly because neither the dinner nor the friendship needs to become a weekly habit. That contrast was especially fitting because my friend is remarkably health-conscious and frugal despite being tremendously successful. He seldom strays from his disciplined diet, while I have historically been much more willing to wander toward fries, dessert, and whatever reckless topping appears on the menu. A traditional steakhouse lets both people leave satisfied: one can order a lean steak and vegetables, while the other can treat the table as permission to suspend judgment for two hours. We shared the same celebratory dinner, but our plates still reflected exactly who each of us had always been. Inside, Butcher & Singer delivers the classic steakhouse fantasy with extraordinary conviction. The soaring ceiling, monumental columns, and amber lighting give the dining room a glamorous scale, while the dark wood, painted murals, and small shaded lamps keep all that grandeur from becoming severe. This is where Stephen Starr's judgment becomes especially apparent, because both Butcher & Singer and nearby Barclay Prime depend on concepts that could age badly: one could become stuffy and antiquated, while the other could become glossy and artificial. Instead, Butcher & Singer still feels transportive, Barclay Prime remains contemporary and cool, and each succeeds because the design, service, and atmosphere are executed with total confidence. Our meal included what I believe was a Caesar salad, filet mignon, asparagus, fries, and a rich chocolate fudge cake. I added a blue cheese garnish to my steak, a completely unnecessary flourish that became the crown jewel on an already excellent piece of meat, while my friend kept his side of the table considerably cleaner. Parc creates a useful third point in Starr's small Rittenhouse constellation: its bar steak and burger offer a more casual form of red meat, somewhere between an ordinary dinner and the full ceremony of Butcher & Singer or Barclay Prime. I appreciate both, but a burger leaves me feeling heavier, while a properly cooked lean steak can feel filling and indulgent without ruining the rest of the night. Only one detail could have improved our experience. We sat at a small table near the host stand and the clock, which was comfortable and entirely reasonable for a table for two, but it left us slightly outside the dramatic center of the room. This was no one's fault, merely the kind of learned preference that comes from seeing the full room afterward and knowing where I would request to sit on a future visit. I hope to return when the budget allows, settle farther inside among the leather booths, glowing lamps, and sweep of the murals, and once again let Butcher & Singer make a rare night with an old friend feel worthy of savoring.

With that, the food was good and it didn't feel just like your typical steakhouse and I attribute that to the service and how wonderful the staff was. We ordered the oysters, onion soup, delmanico steak, porter house, and the fillet. The table shared the hash brown which was absolutely delicious and by far one of the best items I've had at a steakhouse potato wise. We also ordered the asparagus and the seasonal corn dish. For dessert we had peanut butter tart, cheesecake, and ice cream. Over all this was a great experience and I would definitely come back.

I'm a new resident of Philadelphia and randomly stopped in just to see what the concept was. Two young, extremely friendly workers greeted me and educated me on the concept and most popular items. I went to their signature Mac n cheese with truffle oil. Simple but outstanding. Will definitely be back, but I most likely would not eat in the restaurant as it is a pretty stark environment. But the food and the staff make it worth going back. I hope this concept succeeds. read more

I love Mac Mart. I think it's the greatest creation. The food is always good and comes in a reusable container. My only request is that I really wish they still used their food truck at festivals. I miss going to food truck events and the night markets all over the city and they were there. It's always really hard to find parking around here and the traffic is nuts so for a Northeast commuter with a car, its not always convenient read more

Enough to get to your order, but not a person who easily respond to questions about the menu or possible suggestions. But I got through it. Regarding ambience, this place has the right idea but a long way to go. When you enter, the music is extremely loud as if you were in a nightclub very difficult to place your order without the person getting in your face, which is slightly uncomfortable. The vibe is basement or cellar dark, heavy not a well lit area. That's OK for the evening, but not necessarily the daytime. However, what it does give off an appearance of being dirty because of the darkness and the chairs. They have beautiful high back fabric chairs with short round tables that will allow you to eat, hang out with your friends/family and chat. It is BYOB. The chairs can use a good steam cleaning. The chairs and the entrance are high top bar style tables for two possibly three. The prices on the online menu are different than the menus in the store. There is also a surcharge when you're using your credit card and $15 cork fee BYOB. You get a decent amount of food for the price however I found it overly seasoned or salty.

We ordered their: (1) bacon burger (rating 3.0/5) (2) beef sandwich (rating 3.0/5) (3) fries (rating 3.5/5) Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad. The best way I can explain it is, their food is satisfactorily adequate. It tastes good enough, it's juicy enough, it's filling enough. It's what I would call "fine". The thing is, their burgers are TINY (not too far from a slider even) and EXPENSIVE for how small they are, so being "fine" isn't what I want. If you're going to charge that much and give that little, the food needs to be mouth wateringly incredible. Otherwise give me a normal-sized "fine" burger. Service Notes: No complaints about the service. This place has bit of a "nicer bar" ambiance, but it's quite small. It felt a little too confined honestly. TLDR: Food is fine, but not worth the cost. There are better burgers at lower price points.
