Elbows Mac N Cheese

It's been about 7 years since I've been to this location. The original location. Things sure have changed since it the husband and wife running it. They've expanded locations and menu items and changed the name on some items.
I had just come from my spa session and was starving. Couldn't decided on pizza or Mac n cheese. I remember this place was across the way.
When I got there, no one in the place so I could take my time and peruse the me menu. I spotting the Mac n cheese pizza and that solved me dilemma.
The food came out quick and I actually like this. I just wish there was some red pepper flakes or hot sauce. I didn't ask so I could have had.
Would probably order again, but for now I'll stick to their regular Mac NC cheese concotions.

Elbows have been on my radar for a long time and I finally got around to checking it out while hanging out with my noodle-obsessed niece who will never turn down a carby meal. There is one vegan option on the menu called "I Can't Believe It's Not Cheese" made with vegan cheddar, grilled peppers, and onions. It was about $14 and large in size. It was good, and impressive enough for a plant-based mac and cheese, though not very memorable. https://bit.ly/3OoXmQI

My niece got the Okey Dokey Artichokey. She asked if they could make it with vegan cheese, though she still opted to keep the parmesan. I'm fairly certain that the spinach artichoke dip would also has dairy in it as well. That said, I now know that any menu item can be made with vegan cheese at an extra charge. Just keep in mind that doing so doesn't always automatically make it plant-based.

The staff was pretty average. The dining area had minimal seating. Parking in this shopping center is pretty crowded, especially close to the restaurant. I don't see myself going out of my way to eat at Elbows but if I ever ended up eating here again, or if I feel like overloading on carbs and vegan cheese, I'm glad to know they have a solid vegan option.

Me and my friend glen wanted to try this place 2 years ago and haven't had an opportunity to go until just recently. The instagram and other videos showing the process of creating this gooey macaroni and cheese in different forms was unique.

The drive was an hour away from where we live and decided to finally try it out. What I can tell you is that it did not live up to the hype. We ordered a pizza mac in cheese as part of the top 5 favorites and a Buffalo chicken mac and cheese which was also in the top 5 favorites. To be honest, it was average. The visuals are good enough for instagram but the taste and combination of the mac and cheese was extremely salty and kind of bland to be honest.

The prices are around 15$ as an average between the regular and large aluminum size bowls. The presentation and service were great however. The parking lot was medium sized and the interior was narrow for sitting down. Overall, it's a one time and done kind of place. But I do think it is worth the try. The Buffalo macaroni and cheese one was better than the pizza one. I haven't tried the other 3 favorites but they included pork in them and I'm not a fan of pig.

The menu is also massive and there are plenty of choices between sandwich macaroni and cheese, burger macaroni and cheese, fried macaroni and cheese, but the aesthetics and tanks are what is keeping this place in business. Bon appetite!

They close this location. Sad to find out
This place was my go to place for some great Mac and cheese

Made a special trip to get Mac n cheese. The picture I saw of pizza tots looked so good. So drove 20 mins to check this place out and was sadly disappointed. The pizza tots we ordered were very cheesy and the tots
were buried under so they aren't crunchy. My feeling was the calories to flavor/texture isn't justified. We also ordered the so shellfish. I didn't like the flavors together. I like peas and lobster but I didn't love them together. Won't return for the Mac n cheese but their grilled cheese might warrant a return visit. Also the lunch was about $40.00. The price isnt too bad considering the amount of food. Portions are huge, 2 can split a meal and still have leftovers.

BUSSIN!!! & Alex Customer Service Really Good!
Me and my lady came about 7 at night semi crowd! Must have !
I got the rajin Cajun! It won't disappoint if u like spice
My girl got the chicken Sandwich

I love some good ol'mac n cheese. Even better when you can jazz it up with different toppings. First time trying this place and I decided on the "Don't Be Afraid O" mac n cheese. It has parmesan and mozzarella cheeses with chicken and broccoli inside. On top is drizzled with pesto sauce. It was pretty good. I really enjoyed how much chicken was packed inside the small serving!!

Only downside was the ordering. I placed an order online for pick up and (30 minutes later) went to Elbows once the time passed saying it would be ready....and it still wasn't ready. Booo.

I ate here once before years ago and don't really remember it. I think I got something standard and the food was standard.

But I gotta give 5 stars for the pizza mac. I thought it sounded good, but it was so much better than I even imagined. Every bite was delicious. Cheesy and gooey and salty and the pepperoni was crisp and added the perfect bite to the mac... makes me wanna try more offerings to see if they live up to that quality. Didn't seem to bother my stomach either for as intense as it was.

One note - if you like old fashioned/real sugar sodas, be sure to check the soda you're thinking of getting first because the one I bought had high fructose corn syrup which bothers my stomach. Luckily they let me switch it out and helped me find one with real sugar. Very nice!

Macaroni in a pot that's a WA... uhh I better not haha.. Ok so I've heard about this place for years but was never in the area to try it out. Mac N Cheese with such interesting flavor combos like pizza and buffalo chicken?? That was enough to sell me right there!

And that's exactly what me and my friend got. We got the 2 regular sized portions and just shared the both. I feel like 1 Mac would get boring because it's pretty big and gets repetitive. Still tasty though! Personally I liked the buffalo chicken better than the pizza flavor, which sounds crazy because pizza makes anything better haha. I know it sounds a bit different but I swear it's so tasty. And the mac was cooked perfectly, soft, creamy, cheesy mixed in and not just all of it thrown on top. It's well done! I've never really had Mac as a main course and not just a side dish but I wish I could have had all the flavors! If I go back again I would love to try the pulled pork flavor. And they have good looking sandwiches as well. Imagine pulled pork mac on a sandwich.. OMG.

Price point for a regular is about $10 and the large $12.

Indoor seating is full available and there's some outdoor seating too if you're more comfortable with that.

I enjoyed my lunch here and would for sure come back! Definitely recommend going here.

Just a heads up for anybody going here for the first time, If you get a kids meal, you won't be given the juice box or cookies that come with it unless you know to grab it yourself. Visited this place for the first time today and got my child a kids meal and took it to go. I assumed everything was in the bag of course when she handed me my items but now that we are home and I realized things were missing.

I called to ask and the worker said that I was supposed to grab those things myself (they are apparently by the register). I'm not a mind reader and I'm also not an employee there, therefore I had no idea that that was what we were supposed to do and the employee working never informed me of any of that. Not a huge deal but definitely something that people should be aware of and employees should help customers with. The employee on the phone offered to write my name down so that I could pick it up on my next trip which was a nice offer but it's not necessary.

The kids meal came with nuggets and fries and a side of barbecue sauce-which my child does not eat. I wasn't offered any sauce options either but of course again, I guess should have asked. The Mac and cheese balls were good.
