Move over, “mac and nugs” night. One Wisconsin-exclusive franchise does it better.
Macaroni and Cheese Shop, affectionately known as MACS, has six locations across the dairy state, with one a mere 15 minutes from campus. And you guessed it; they serve indescribable cheesy dishes.
31 entree items fill MACS’ regular menu, and 21 are skillets brimming over with mac ‘n cheese. While a traditional macaroni dish spearheads the roundup, every other meal is a creative, culinary concoction. Taco Mac, Philly Mac, Veggie Mac, Hangover Mac and Buffalo Chicken Mac are just a few standout dishes.
We created our own version of the Buffalo Chicken Mac so you can make one of our favorites at home.
