Mr Mac's Canteen is a "Greasy Spoon" with quick service & very reasonable prices. But I have to disagree with most of my fellow Yelpers, sorry, it's not the Second Coming. Food was average, kinda meh, to be honest. The only thing that really stood out for us today was the Pina Colada milkshake, that was excellent. Staff was friendly also, but the only reason we'd stop in again would be for one of those awesome milkshakes. read more

food was cheap and because I use tap to pay, they charge me a dollar and didn't even tell me not worth it at all

Fantastic place for a no frills lunch or dinner that's tasty. Really good burgers, great chili, all food prepared quickly and served without missing a beat. Pricing for all the items on the menu is a complete throwback to 1990s. Two people having a burger, drink and splitting fires at five guys is a $40 occasion (in 2025). At Mr Mac's we had two large chili burgers, a cheeseburger, a fries, two drinks and a large Peach shake and it was barely 30 bucks. By today's standards that's an amazing deal. Will be back to try some of the items listed on their "Sea" Food menu board. This is a Great place. read more

Great greasy spoon hole in the wall. Located in a shopping plaza I drove pass this location Multiple times due to appearance only. Boy was I surprised. Food was great and the ashes too. We had a bison burger and a kid's cheeseburger meal. Both sandwiches were very moist and had tons of flavor. My husband and I shared the boneless rib sandwich and it was very good too. I had a spicy dog with hot chili and the works which was very good. The chili has a kick to it but was very good. The shakes are super thick and taste great. Very similar menu to Merritt canteen in Bridgeport ct. They take credit card and parking is ample Due to shopping plaza location read more

Just tried this place a few days ago and it is now our new go to burger spot in Monroe. Food was excellent and prices were right.

My coworker brought me back food chili dog with everything on it, small fries, a small drink all for $9.75, I'm no disappointed the chili has a spice to it where I loved it I'm a spicy freak haha, good simple and flavorful. No complaints! Would try more things. Could take a pic of the food because I finished it read more

Mr Mac's Canteen - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

Liver, bacon, & onion sandwich is outstanding - so good! They do it perfect every time. Also...Best onion rings around. Hamburgers, hotdogs - all good. Great food - quick service. read more

My family and I LOVE Mr. Mac's! anytime we're in the area we always stop here! They have a huge menu of classic favorites like burgers, hot dogs, patty melts, chicken sandwiches, and more! The chili is OUT OF THIS WORLD especially if you're a spice lover like me. The food is classic but you can't go wrong with anything they have on their menu. I didn't get the best picture (I was hungry and it was delicious) but their burger, fries, and a side of chili are always my go-to! read more

Mr Mac's Canteen - Bacon cheeseburger (that I couldn't wait to take a bite out of) fries and their famous spicy chili (A MUST TRY!!!) - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

Whenever you are hankering for a chicken club, turkey burger or shakes, this place does in a pinch at a good price. It is what you need when you are hungry and want it quick. Always an option when around Monroe. read more

How can you not love a place with Christmas decor such as this? Seriously I have only been here a few times and that is usually in warmer weather because the place has outdoor seating and we like to eat outside. They have burgers, sandwiches Fried Clam strips. The pricing is extremely inexpensive and it is particularly nice in the summer. But their Holiday decor is fantastic..worth a trip just for that. Good customer service as well. read more

Food is GOOD. Hole in the wall location. Best hot dog with the works! Cheeseburgers are tasy and cooked perfectly. Milkshakes are good. Fries, onion rings, and chicken tenders! You won't be disappointed! read more

Food is good. Fresh & fast service. But, never feel welcomed or warmth from the staff. Besides that, I recommend the classic burgers, fries, hotdogs, breakfast sandwiches & so much more read more

I've been going to Mr. Mac's for years. It's inexpensive fast food that is perfect for a quick bite.

One of the best hot dogs I have ever eaten and their breakfast sandwiches are the best in town!

Fast, friendly service, a tasty place to visit along the way! I got a breakfast bacon egg cheeseburger, next time I'll put the hash brown in it. read more

Mr Mac's Canteen - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

Great fast food at great prices. Egg sandwiches are some of the best in Fairfield. Burgers are also very good as is the fish and chips!

On a busy Friday, we both had a hankering for good fish 'n chips, so we went to Mr. Mac's Canteen and were very happy! We got a 2 pieces fish dinner with french fries, cole slaw, tarter sauce and a pickle, which we split. We also ordered their 1/3 pound cheeseburgers with tomato, fried onions and mayo. OMG! First of all, they are following all the Covid-19 precautions, with thick plastic barriers, markings for social distance and using every other booth to keep distance. The place is clean and tidy, and the crew was observed working hard, focused on getting our food prepared well and delivered FAST! Mr. Mac's is one of our favorite places and we keep going back! Bravo and keep up the great work! read more

Super fast and super good. This place is consistent and you could tell they know what they are doing. I like the Milford location as well but the Monroe spot is always on point. read more

Great Breakfast sandwiches, fresh muffins! Our go to place for a quick breakfast and fast lunch!

I've really like stopping here for lunch or take out. The staff is friendly and the food is always good. I especially like their liver, bacon and onion grinder -tough to find these days !! The menu is simple but you won't be disappointed. read more

They take cards now!!! Great, fast service, and now they accept all major cards. We were excited for this update.

One of my favorite places to grab a bite with my sister when she's in town. Everything is so fresh and cooked perfectly. Staff is super friendly, establishment is clean. Lots of food choices plus a cooler full of a variety of drinks! read more

The best. I went to there because it was the only place in town that had a liver and onion grinder and I was craving liver. Was very good. Days later, my GF and I were craving a grilled cheese with tomato and we decided to try that. Was perfect! We make our own and we couldn't have made it any better. They place the cheese over every bit of bread (watched the cook) and there was more than enough tomato. Then we decided to try their "loaded" cheeseburger. THE BEST! I'm over 51. I've had a lot a cheeseburgers in my life. Never this good. Wow. This is a glowing review because they deserve it. Heading there now for two loaded cheeseburgers and two grilled cheeses with tomato for the 5th time. So far, every time has been perfect. wow read more

Best burger joint in CT! You can't beat Mr macs for fast food made fresh in front of you. There are 2 locations one in Monroe and milford, Owned and run by the 4 Mcpadden brothers. I know them personally as I worked there in high school and they really care about their business and will remember your name. My go to is usually a double bacon cheeseburger with chicken tenders and fries. For breakfast they have the best bacon egg and cheeses around. Nice crispy bacon on a buttered and toasted Portuguese roll with egg and cheese. They are also pretty famous for their hot dogs and Chilli as well. read more

The chili dog at this place is award winning, but I've been coming here my whole life for the cheeseburger and the onion rings. The rolls are always fresh, soft bakery rolls, and the patty is an old-fashioned thin serve cooked to order and dripping with cheese. As for the sides, I would recommend an order of fries and one of onion rings, as both are delicious. The fries are just standard crinkle fries, fat and freshly made, but the onion rings are the best I've ever had. They're nice and thick without being sickeningly over-battered or greasy, and they are probably the only side dish I've ever tasted that neither needs a little extra salt or a lot of ketchup to cover something up. Furthermore, nothing sits around - they make your food in front of you, and it is perfectly done and molten hot when it comes out. Even if there's a crowd of people (and there often is), everything is made fast and well. This is a delicious, clean and neat and justly famous local business. read more

If you like hot get the chili dogs! Best I've ever had! Lose 10 pounds of sweat in 10 minutes! Lol. Seriously an awesome place and seriously awesome chili dogs! Fantastic read more

Love this spot great dogs, burgers, and fries. I'm a 5 guys fan but this place has that local feel to it. Which they took credit but what are you going to do. A solid place to eat read more

This place is a few minutes from my house but I never go because they didn't take credit cards - now they do! We ordered burgers and a kids chicken fingers meal yesterday and we were all pleased. It is your typical greasy spoon canteen and will hit the spot if this is what you are looking for. The kids meal gets 5 stars because they have some fun trinkets in the meal. I've had food here a few times but I really have to say that the onions rings are all star. read more

The food here is decent enough, my family actually likes it better than I do. The breakfast sandwiches with a topper are pretty good. And they now take cards which is a plus. read more

Great food at great prices with fast and friendly service makes this a must see. Only recommendation is allow tipping on credit cards. It's the industry standard to tip food service employees. Happy employees makes for happy guests. read more

I am not from the area, however whenever I am anywhere close to Mr. Mac's, I HAVE to go. Their sausage egg and cheese with a hash brown topper, is literally the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. They have a lot of other menu options such as hamburgers/cheeseburgers (very good), hot dogs, mac and cheese bites, etc etc - and all for under $5. A little hole in the wall place in a side plaza area, but you have to stop by for a quick bite. I need a sausage egg and cheese topper right now. Cash only. read more

In reading the other review here, I assume they don't get Connecticut dog joints. Having grown up at the Merritt Canteen, Jackie's, Cricket and the rest, Mr Mac's does the Connecticut hot dog tradition proud. Great Hummel Brothers franks, kick'n Chili, brown mustard the way god intended it and crispy bacon bits (not the shredded bacon some others try and pass off). Dogs go in the fryer to crisp the natural casings - perfection. While we could argue about them vs. Swanky vs. Super Duper etc. There are a lot of great hot dogs in CT and Mr. Mac's is one of them. read more

I stop in when I am in the area and the chili dog is the bomb hot and spicy the place is in a strip mall plenty of seating fast service what more could you want read more

Legendary. The epitome of a true "slice of Americana". I ordered a chili dog a burger and a tuna melt for a total of $9. My food was prepared before my eyes and served to me in a matter of seconds. The chili on the dog has no meat or beans, its like a spicy chili spread. Very nostalgic location read more

Passed by the place for years but decided to try when we had a craving for some burgers. Old school signs and tables, but food was awesome and ready quick. Burgers were thin and tasty and onion rings were huge and homemade. Probably the best part, however, was that they are a nut free establishment. Always looking for that with a child with severe tree allergies. Give it a try! read more
