“ Super cool decor, featuring artwork of local painters, tons of colorings by kids, super warm friendly staff and dang the food was great! ”
“ This was literally some of the best Mac and cheese I’ve had in my whole life. Workers were so friendly and food came out quick. Super easy to eat in the car. 1000/10 recommend, they got some cool merch too. ”
“ Our family went to Grandpa Mac for the first time this past Sunday and loved it! They have a super impressive menu with tons of different options, a cute restaurant with kids drawing on the walls, and friendly staff. We ordered 4 things of mac and cheese plus some garlic bread and it was all delicious! I love that they have vegan options :) ”
“ Definitely stop by if you're in the area! Grab one of their super comfy hoodies and check out the art by Kathy Flament, then sip on a local brew while enjoying classic arcade games. We visited while on vacation, and this was by far our favorite spot while in town. The food was amazing (we had the Cobby salad and Mother Clucking Bacon Ranch), and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable of local landmarks, and kind enough to guide us towards a few special locations. ”
“ Really good mac and cheese. There are many great sounding pre designed items and the ability to make your own bowl is great. The pasta was a little too al dente for my tastes but it didn't take away from a great meal. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. ”
“ Absolutely delicious! Super friendly staff. Bathroom and dining area were very clean. We got a custom, the Fun Guy, and two kids Mac’s. All were so yummy. And the Mrs Pac Man game was free! Our kiddos loved it. ”
“ We love Grandpa Macs and always have to stop if we're within a couple hours of the restaurant. Everything we have tried has been amazing. I am allergic to dairy and the staff makes sure they are careful and the vegan options are amazing. Highly recommend. We drive over 5 hours just to have them for dinner need I say more? ”
“ Visited on a Sunday Labor Day weekend. Surprisingly, it wasn't very busy at around 1pm in the afternoon. The atmosphere was amazing, and the service was superb. It certainly isn't fast food. I think everything was made to order. So be prepared for that if you're in a hurry. The food was good, but I'm not a big pasta or a Mac and cheese person. My wife and kids wanted it. I think everything tasted pretty good. The quality was there for sure. Maybe I'll try their panini or wraps next time. We ordered regular sizes and got the mother clucking bacon ranch, delmarva dog, I'm a fun guy, and the crab Mac, which was the special for the day. I liked the I'm a fun guy the best but that's probably because of the mushrooms. My wife liked the delmarva dog and mother clucking bacon ranch. My middle son liked the crab Mac. I thought it was just okay. I'd definitely go back and try other options on the menu. My youngest was happy with his kids' meal of chicken tenders and side of Mac and cheese. It's a pretty small cup, just FYI. But he also really enjoyed the arcade machine while we were waiting for our food. Location was a bit weird but it's right next to one of the 3 Tanger outlet malls so it's not a bad walk over if you're looking for food while at rhe outlet mall or if you wanted to walk over after you eat to walk off some of the food. Bathrooms were fun. They are unisex, but they're all covered in pictures of employees or customers at the restaurant. It's just weird to use the bathroom surrounded by all the photos of people staring at you. It was so unique that I told my wife and kids to check it out. Everyone had a good laugh. ”
