I Heart Mac & Cheese

First timers in and we enjoyed the experience. The space is welcoming and cute! The staff was extremely helpful and suggestive in selections. The food smelt so good and tasted even better. However, for the price we paid, the portions were lacking. It was like paying FULL Portion prices for kids meal. The bowls were barely half full with very little meat to each bowl. But what little we got, it was tasty! We plan on giving this place another go and hopefully add it to our regular outting rotation! 👍🏽

Good customizable food options. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Great service. Chairs are metal and uncomfy. Served in cute heart bowls.

From the time I walked in this place till the time I left, I was loving it! The atmosphere, the modern decor, the cute uniforms, I just loved it! It was a nice size crowd, everyone talking laughed, picking up orders, the staff in their assembly line getting the food together, just great! Even though it was busy I waited no more than 7 minutes for my food. The prices are standard. It was a great experience,,,,,Until I bit into my 20.00 lobster Mac and cheese. Let's start by saying it's a new spot so I'am expecting it to only get better 😊 the flavor of the Mac and cheese was nice. It could be less dry and warmer. I had room temperature food. The lobster left a really gross tastes in my mouth. I got to have the big patch of burnt cheese? I believe it was which made my bowl seem full but was not. This bowl was worth 7 dollars and not the 20 I paid. The cheese cake bites could have been better if they were not almost frozen and should have more filling than crust. I wish they didn't forget my dipping sauce because that would have help them not be so dry. I had bits of broccoli in my bowl by mistake, however it was a good thing because that actually tasted way better lol. I will give it a couple months and go back. Until then stay clear of that lobster disaster and go for the broccoli maybe. The lemonade was great!! The customer service was awesome. Love the heart shaped containers👌🏾

SAGINAW, MI - I Heart Mac & Cheese, a beloved Saginaw spot known for its creativity, has closed its doors for good, effective Oct. 26. In a letter to the community, the restaurant’s team expressed gratitude for the support received over three and a half years. “Serving our community for three and a half years has been a true honor,” the statement said. “Thanks for making our restaurant a special place and a part of your memories.” The eatery earned a following with signature dishes like the Short Rib Philly Mac & Cheese, a grilled cheese sandwich loaded with tomato and bacon, and the inventive “Tacoroni” — build-your-own mac and cheese stuffed inside a nacho-flavored taco shell. In the post, staff were praised as “the heart and soul” of the 5-star-rated restaurant, with the team noting they “would not have made it this far” without their dedication and the community’s backing. It was located at 4588 State Street in Green Acres Plaza. The reason for the closure was not disclosed.

Pulled pork grilled cheese. Terrible. Greasey, over cooked. Bread appeared to be reheated and burnt. Tomoto soup had a burnt taste also. Wish I could post the picture I took. They did go to post on this site somewhere, but not attached to this review. Girl behind counter was very nice. Restaurant clean. Oh, finally got them attached.

I’m a first timer (but it’s definitely not my last!) and was immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant from the front door to the bathroom (bathroom was fully equipped with at home type of 3 ply😎). As soon as my hubby and I entered we were greeted and directed to the extensive menu board. After much contemplation we landed on the meat eaters flat bread pizza and the short rib philly bowl. Needless to say, we have no regrets!!! It was served piping hot and was absolutely delicious 😋 The serving was so big we had enough for a late night snack. Good value for my money 💰 We can’t wait to go back!!!

Vegan options were hit or miss. I got the vegan delight, but I think it was made wrong? It was very soupy and there was no cheese flavor. Sort of just tasted like tomatoey-water. The vegan melt with the tomato soup dip was very satisfying, however.

First time try this place because I like others heard that it wasn’t really worth it. I decided to finally try and got the Best of Both Worlds combo. I ABSOLUTELY loved it!!! And the Staff were very nice with answering any questions I had. Will definitely keep coming back in the future. Do yourself a favor and please get the Best of Both Worlds sandwich. My opinion, worth every penny.

We took our daughter here for her 10th birthday. Food was great, employees were awesome and the manager gave her a bunch of stuff and a gift card. It was a great experience:)

This is an extremely expensive very sub par meal. I ordered both the classic and build your own through door dash. Delivered in less than 15 minutes which was super cool but the build your own mac and cheese was 100% wrong and there's no recourse to get it fixed. Regardless of making it wrong neither of the dishes were good. Portions are tiny, noodles are dry, not very cheesy, and the wrong ingredients they did add were sparse at best. For $16.75 for the BYO option I would never recommend this. If your restaurant is called "mac and cheese" it better be amazing.

I hate to rate this place low, because I love that they have vegan options, but it was not very good. I had it as take out, so it wasn't fresh, but it wasn't very cheesy or flavorful. The addition of beyond meat and veggies was fun, but I would have preferred more cheese!

As soon as you walk into this restaurant, you will notice how clean it is. The space is open and welcoming, not cluttered. The menu took a little time to go through as there are many options along with combinations. I chose the build your own bowl. What's really cool is you can choose from several vegetarian and a couple vegan options as well. They have pasta in the form of macaroni along with an array of toppings to build your own bowl or choose from a combo. I built a vegetarian bowl with half broccoli and half quinoa as then just piled on more veggies. I type this with mango habanero sauce and it was excellent. It was a large portion and very filling. I ordered two kids mac & cheese us one with white cheddar and one with yellow. The kids enjoyed them. The grilled cheese comes on sourdough or wheat, we choose the sourdough and it was a hearty sandwich with tomato soup on the side. The grilled cheese was thick and buttery. Great food, kind team members and lots of variety. I will be back soon.

Never went in because the reviews about PRICE & QUALITY & TASTE were so prevalent in the reviews on Google & Here. I'm not stepping foot in there, glad I saved my money.

The food is great. There are so many opportunities playing the mix-and-match game. Creating your own bowls and sandwiches. I never realize there was so much opportunity with macaroni and cheese.

Super quick and friendly atmosphere. Had my food ready in less that five minutes. Super helpful staff. It was my first time in here and they were very useful in getting me and my order figured out.

This place is over priced for what you get. The pasta was under cooked and the cheese sauce they used over the padta was like soup and didn't taste like cheese. Then before the put it in the quick oven they place a slice of cheese and call that Mac and cheese. I added broccoli and I got 3 small floweretts. What a joke. I can tell you it tasted blan and like fake cheese. Save your money. Oh and the lobster Mac and cheese will cost you an extra $10 on top of the $10.95 for the dish. Again they use the soup cheese and maybe a 1 Oz portion of lobster. Lady in front of me got 2 orders of lobster Mac spent $40 and her and her lunch partner sat near me and couldn't believe how bad it was for what they paid for. They didn't even finish their food. Threw it in the trash. But I too threw mine away it was really bad. Also anything u add to Mac is extra on top of the $10.95 base price. Stouffers and Beechers is the best.

Soooo good! The employees are so welcoming and nice. BUY THE CHOC CHIP COOKIES. They are so good. Love this place and so glad to have something new in the area! Will definitely be going back. Again and again and again.

Very overpriced for what you get. Had the Philly cheese steak which was OK not bad, not great either. I make better mac & cheese.

This new specialty restaurant is amazing! I had classic mac & cheese with pulled pork and barbecue sauce added. It was phenomenal! The noodles are curly noodles cooked al dente. The pork is super tender and flavorful. I also added pepper jack cheese on top. It was honestly the best I've had! It definitely beats Noodles and Company! I also had a grilled cheese that was called The Best of Both Worlds. It's a grilled cheese sandwich on thick sour dough bread with rib pieces that are super tender and macaroni and cheese. I've had grilled cheese with macaroni and cheese in it before and the macaroni and cheese always falls out all over the place. This does not at all. And it's super tasty! It is way better than Panera's macaroni and cheese sandwich! My grandkids are going to love this place! Yes, it is a little bit up there in price. But it is fun and tastes amazing! The combinations of ingredients that you can add is limitless!
