"Short for Sarita’s Macaroni & Cheese, S’MAC serves up its myriad versions of the namesake dish in personal cast iron skillets. Go for a classic with the four-cheese option, filled with cheddar, Muenster, gruyere, and a bit of Pecorino. Or opt for an unconventional order, like the Mediterranean, with goat cheese, sauteed spinach, kalamata olives, and roasted garlic, while the Cajun contains cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses, plus andouille sausage, green pepper, onions, celery, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Any variety can be ordered with regular, multi-grain, or gluten free elbow macaroni, so it’s a good choice for diners with dietary restrictions." - Alexandra Ilyashov

This place is what is considered, “a hole in the wall.” The space is small, so I recommend going before the restaurant picks up in terms of their customers. I recommend the sampler, so you can try 8 different dishes. If you were to get something else instead of the sampler, I recommend the Alpine, the All American, the 4 cheeses, and the Cajun. I just wish the space was a bit bigger as it can feel a bit cramped. When you walk in, you create your order at the kiosk on the right, and pick a number, and sit where you want.

Great place if you would like to enjoy a good mac n cheese and then after the meal have a nice walk. There were plenty of options and you could a wide vararity of mac n cheese. I liked the touch of having it served directly on the cast iron plate.

The Mac and cheese was amazing. I got the Buffalo chicken, my wife got regular mac and cheese with steak and broccoli. The portions are very generous and full of flavor. The whole meal, with two drinks, came to $30. Very worth it, especially in Manhattan. Definitely recommend!!

All of the reviews led me to believe this place would be a hit. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese was incredibly bland. I did a build your own with cheddar cheese and garlic. The cheese was oddly flavorless and I couldn't even taste the garlic. It may have been better if they'd added salt. The mac and cheese itself should be tasty and should not soley rely on mix-ins for flavor. Exceptional service, but for a place that specializes in mac and cheese, this was a big miss.

Delicious! Friendly team, unmissable Mac n cheese. Ordered the original American and the Philly cheese steak - really tasty. Worth a stop for lunch.

I came here and I got the sampler. My favorites were four cheese and american, my boyfriend’s favorites were four cheese and alpine, he also really like the napoletana and cajun. We both thought that the one with brie was gross but are happy to have tried it.

This place was so cool, you come in and order on a tablet and then grab an open table and a table number and sit. They had great music and the food was so good y’all. Some good vegan Mac and it is hard to make vegan Mac good so my compliments to the chef! I definitely recommend it to my fellow vegans and I’m sure the non vegans will love it as well because cheese is delicious lol. Go if you haven’t already!
