LOVE MMMAC N’ CHEESE! Whenever i’m in Dowtown Boston/ Faneuil Hall area and I don’t bring mmmac n’ cheese home Im in troulbe w/ the wife, kids and Grandma.. we all love it! My faves have to be BBQ/Buffalo Chicken Mac, Cajun Mac (Sausage, peppers, onions, Cajun spices) bacon mac, seafood mac. In addition to the great food, great service, and great value is that they prepare your meal in front of your eyes made to order even the family platters that serve up to ten ready in 10min, I don’t know If that’s important to other people; it’s definitely important to me. Best mac n cheese, best place to eat in Quincy Market. Enjoy!
I’ll be in town until Wednesday but since the DelMar Market is on Saturday, I’m tempted to stay longer.
