The Macintosh

Outstanding! Bravo! Had an amazing date night here for restaurant week and we have already decided we will be coming back here on a more frequent basis. Our server was Madison, she was incredible. Very knowledgeable and friendly and always came by at just the right time. Our food was sooo flavorful and delicious! I don’t even like pecan pie but I tried a piece of my hubbys and it was easily one of the best things I have ever tried. The ambience was perfect, the restaurant very aesthetically pleasing, a great selection of music was playing in the background, I literally have NO complaints about this place. Keep up the amazing work!

We are so happy we chose to celebrate a graduation at The Macintosh. The food, service, and restaurant provided the perfect elevated dining experience for the occasion. The brussel sprouts were a crowd favorite! All of our dishes exceeded our expectations. Even the water was delicious! Another favorite dish was the salmon and orzo. The flavors were on point! We will definitely return next time we are in town.

This is the one of our favorite restaurants in Pheonix. The food has been amazing every time and the service is top notch. Usually here for dinner, but it’s good anytime. That ribs and check are amazing. However, the Waldorf Chicken Salad is one of the best things I have ever eaten and I’m not even a salad person really. Give it a try, You won’t regret it!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Savana made our visit unforgettable. From start to finish, she was friendly, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves what they do, and it shows. Great food + outstanding service = perfect night!

I truly enjoyed stumbling into this place. I had walked into Twin Peaks (chain restaurant ) which was next door to my hotel. I wanted a cold beer/drink and DEFINITELY some FOOD. (the place was pretty quiet) see that Happy Hour was over. SADLY after 15-20 minutes without service I walked out. Thank GOODNESS 'THE MACINTOSH' just around the corner in the same shipping center made my long day of travel WORTHY! FOOD, SERVICE AND COMFORT...

Category: Elevated Comfort Food. An open and airy elevated casual spot with cut-above comfort food. The exposed steel-trussed ceiling and HVAC system give this spot a quasi-industrial feel. We like the busy U-shaped black granite bar with red leather high-backed stools, where we like to dine if it's just the two of us, so we can people watch across the bar. For people who need TVs, the bar has them facing all sides. U-shaped booths border the front windows, high tops for four populate the area past the bar, and steel-framed butcher block regular tables can be found near the booths. There is an Edison-bulbed outdoor patio for al fresco dining. I saw heaters for cool weather and fans for hot, but I'm not sure about misters. The menu is an eclectic mix of classics (Caesar and Waldorf Salads, maybe with a house twist), burgers, and elevated comfort food mains (baby backs, blackened ahi, salmon risotto, Duroc pork chop), and New Orleans fare. In fact, it seems like the chef's heart is in NOLA (we often feel that way too). In addition to standard menu items you’d find in the French Quarter (shrimp and grits, blackened redfish, red beans & rice), the recurring daily specials posted on a sandwich board outside are straight from The Big Easy (etouffe, NOLA swordfish). We happily shared the Roti + Rib Combo, very tasty, very generous chicken and ribs. The beer choices are plenty and there is a sufficient number of red wines under $50. Excellent service.

On a business trip and came to Macintosh. Maddy was amazing with explaining all the great options. The creamy Burrata and Toast a must have, Amazing! This was recommended by Maddie great choice. The food was so hot and amazing and the service was even better!

I can't say enough about this place the ambiance was warm and welcoming , and the food was amazing. The service was top notch and our waitress Maddie was phenomenal. Very attentive and very giving she gave my girlfriend and I a dessert on the house. We will definitely be back to try more of the things on the menu. I had gotten the brisket sandwich, it was very tasty.

My husband and I recently met another couple at this restaurant on a Sunday evening. The other couple had been to The Macintosh previously but we had not and this was our first visit. We ordered the Creamy Burrata & Toast to share as an appetizer and it was so good!! Everyone loved it! The entrees we ordered were Waldorf Chicken Salad that I had as well as Mama's Meatloaf, Bag O'Bones, and the Blackened fish. Everyone thought their food was terrific as was the service. We were even able to take advantage of happy hour pricing for our first beverage when we arrived. Hubby and I will definitely return to this restaurant to try more menu items!

Food: flavorful, unique in some aspects, and overall good Service: Quality and attentive Ambience: Chill vibe, date, solo, or fun group There were no downsides really, but I reserve 5 stars truly exceptional experiences.

this was our first time dying here we came with a friend who goes there often we went on a Saturday night and had amazing service our server was professional, friendly, and seem to be there magically when we needed her. We didn't have any appetizers nor alcoholic beverages, this time!, But we will be back. Everything that we eat was great . We had their special Caesar salad with proteins and also one of us had their ribs. I love the atmosphere. It was lively without being loud so we could actually talk. The booths were comfortable. Great location, great food awesome service. What more could you want? We will be back.

Loved this place when it was previously Grassroots, the name has changed to Macintosh, but the food is still the strong staple it use to be. Reservations were a must on Saturday night and the joint was hopping. We were seated and a server explained the specials. We ordered the Halibut fish and chips, twisted noodle salad with steak, cowboy baby back ribs, onion rings and an order of dirty rice. The staff were on point with service and piping hot plates. The halibut was moist, lightly battered and tasty. The dirty orzo was as flavorful as ever and had a great flavor profile. Our twisted noodle salad was unique, great combinations not found in a normal salad and the steak was tender. It could of used a bit more dressing. Our ribs were lightly sauced, fall off the bone tender and a light bit of smoke. The rings were good with a crunch, but not over battered. If you are hankering for a good, solid meal without the pretentious environment, give Macintosh a call. The aura here is upbeat with good food. The portions are a bit light for the price, but it is always a solid for dinner. Good job Macintosh and we will be back.

This restaurant is part of the Common Grounds Culinary group, and so far I really liked every restaurant in that group (The Collins, Saint Urban, The Neighborly). It's the first time that we've gone for lunch, and it was nice and quiet. The decor is very relaxed and homey, with table lamps and books along the window sills by the booths. Look for the little details, like their name, The Macintosh, stamped on part of the table leg underneath one of the long tables. Our server (I think maybe her name was Brittany but I'm not sure) was just as cute and friendly as can be, and was very helpful. We ordered: *Smoke and Berry (mezcal cocktail) *Smoked Salmon Dip with Buttered Saltines *Bacon Mac and Cheese *Shaved NY Dip Sandwich with fries *Blackened Shrimp Risotto *Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie Everything was delicious, especially that amazing salmon dip. It was so good! Really loved my mezcal cocktail too. The mac and cheese was good, but it could have been a little more cheesy for me. All in all, a great lunch for us!

When I'm in the mood for a loaded baked potato this is the place I come to! Today Shua was my bartender. He was so wonderful and nice, very helpful, attentive, and a lot of fun to talk to. I hope to see him in the future on my visits. (I found out later he was new to the bar. More on that later.) But back to the potato. Always has that crispy outside with the usual toppings and plenty for a meal. Though I'd recommend a light sprinkle of large grained salt on the outside with the oil to make the skin more flavorful. However, the gentleman next to me got a Cajun fish sandwich, that he said was on his regular rotation,smelled/looked delicious. I will be ordering next time. Drinks the red blend, fiction 'field recordings', and Cabernet 'pacific standard' on happy hour are good choices, and the Pinot Gris, rainstorm, is a bit sweet but still crisp and refreshing. Tonight I had the pink cougar, grapefruit vodka, chamomile - lemongrass syrup, bubbles and candy wedge. Very good! Grapefruit forward with that slight mellowness of tea from the syrup. Yum! Gave 4 stars because in the past the service wasn't stellar like tonight. I've had a few visits where if I wasn't a regular I got ignored in comparison to others sitting next to me at the bar. I don't expect our banter to be on par with people they talk to on a regular basis but I do expect my drink and food service to be equal. Overall, it is a pricey stop for meals, but for the area and quality of food it's not unexpected these days, and the happy hour has a good selection. So if you're looking for a more upscale place to dine that is still casual this is a good stop.

Hidden gem. I had never heard of this place before stopping here for dinner and WOW I was impressed! The food is southern style, and there are so many menu options to choose from. I ended up ordering the blackened redfish with dirty risotto. It was divine.

This has been on my list of places to try forever now and it did not disappoint. Love the rustic modern interior with deep booths and long communal tables that could be broken up if needed. Service was great. Everything I tried was delicious. The short ribs, biscuits and bread pudding I could eat over and over again. I will be back for sure to try other tasty sounding food.

I finally took a chance to stop here for dinner on a Friday night. I always pass by here when running errands and think I need to come back and try it out, but this was my first time. All of the food was really delicious and comforting and full of flavor. The biscuits were delicious but the honey butter spread was a little too sweet for me. I liked them just fine without it. I got the roti and rib combo and was really happy that I did because I got to have both the ribs and chicken, which were both delicious. The ribs fell off the bone and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. The bread pudding was so good and an amazing end to the meal.

I had a great time! The food and drinks were fantastic! It was clean and had outdoor seating with misters! We sat at the bar and Tanner was amazing, he took good care of us!

The food and service were amazing! We had the twisted noodle salad and salmon and salad combo, highly recommend both. Tried the Paloma as well, I wish I tried the signature cocktail! Our server, Max, did an amazing job and we learned that he was the one who created the signature cocktail of the month. Ella, the manager, checked on us multiple times throughout our experience to ensure that everything was going smoothly. Katie, the greeter, was also very sweet and got us sat immediately. 10/10 experience, will definitely be coming back.

Me and my family were in the area one afternoon and decided to finally give this place a try. I am more than mad at myself for not trying The Macintosh sooner. Our experience at lunch that day was far beyond my expectations. We decided to try a few things to share and my son decided on the kids Bacon Mac & Cheese. Even the kids meal was excellent. It was a homemade Mac & Chesse with grapes and french fries. My husband and I got the creamy burrata + toast* dressed arugula . jammin' spicy tomato . charred focaccia & The Salad on special of the day. I believe it was arugula salmon and pine nuts in a creamy dressing. The creamy burrata + toast was honestly life changing. I have not stopped thinking about it. We also had great service and loved the open dining experience. The only bad thing I can think to say is that it's so far away from my house. But that wont keep us from coming back.

Nice upscale spot with a more limited menu (not a bad thing, choice paralysis is real!). I came here a couple times to dine with friends and had good experiences. More creative options and fancy drinks, on the pricier end but worth it if you want a pleasant meal in a more elegant environment. Staff was always hospitable, friendly/prompt and engaging. @azfitfoodfun

This was a nice find nestled in a shopping plaza. The bar area is in the center of the restaurant. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable of the unique menu items. The food was worth the stop. The brussel sprouts were amazing. Try 'em! Great place for date night or to catch up with friends. Accessible entrance.

Came here for an early dinner on a weeknight. Loved the look of the place and the different menu options. I didn't have a drink, but this would definitely be a place to try something out! So many fun drink options. Salmon was served rare and the salad was nice and crunchy. A great combo for a nice dinner! Definitely need to come back when I'm wanting a drink, so many to try!

Nice spot. Lovely indoor/outdoor feel. I came here for happy hour, and it was really good. Not sure how their entrees may be, but they looked great from afar. We shared the short rib poutine, bbq chicken wings, and bacon mac n cheese. All were flavorful and would have again. Lovely cocktails. I had the smoke and berry and my friend had a local mango cider. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick.

Dined at The Macintosh tonight for the first time and came with my elderly parents. My Dad refuses to allow phones at the table and I'm a (mostly) obedient adult daughter. It's a real thing with him so no pics with this review. We started with the big bowl of barbecue wings. Dad had the Poutine happy hour item and Mom ordered the blackened shrimp and risotto, also from the happy hour menu. I ordered the NY strip with a side cup of the chicken enchilada soup. All were great, well-flavored and very good portions. What really made our night an absolute joy was our server, Savannah. She is a credit to hospitality in general and, especially to Common Ground Culinary restaurants. Friendly, personable and attentive, she made it a great experience. She would be a great trainer to help servers level up the guest experience. Thanks!

The food tastes good, the service is decent, and the decor is good but getting a bit outdated. Nothing is spectacular, but nothing is awful. It's mid! Pros 1. Good food 2. Pretty good waitstaff 3. Decor is pretty nice, but starting to look dated Cons 1. The shopping center parking lot is a pain in the ____. Iykyk 2. It feels like they need to turn it up a notch to get them out of a rut. They can do it but it doesn't seem like anyone is putting the effort into changing and reinvigorating this place. I don't think I'd go back anytime soon. Too many other places to try still that seem more exciting, more updated and have a fresher menu.

Super cool spot, stopped by before catching my flight. BRUSSELS SPROUTS 1000000000/10 Parking- plenty, big shopping center Service is great, everyone was so attentive. Food is great, we ordered the brisket sandwich Mac n cheese and Brussels sprouts. We ordered a couple New York sours too. Everything was awesome!

I am in town for an assignment and I was dining by myself. I ordered what seemed like a simple request: cold smoked salmon and salad combo. Issue wasn't that they gave the grill salmon, issue is that addressing the issue became unnecessarily awkward and unpleasant. The actual interior has a really neat decor and interesting artwork and books all around. The food items sounded fine and seem like they have potential. But the item I ordered was pretty mid and seems overpriced. And yes, they are using Toast for their payment and the tip seems to be calculated with tax (another reviewed complained about this). In fact, their tip suggestions start at 20% which is a red flag. Back to the original issue: the wrong fish... that's an honest mistake, but even the grilled salmon I got seemed rushed (big chunk was maybe stuck on the grill) and they tried to hide it with the salad. Since that wasn't the fish I ordered I asked if the server recalled my order and then she corrected it... however, what was brought out was also rushed... the smoked salmon piece appeared to have been cut with a spoon (or plucked by hand?)... which is unpleasant to see and the whole thing just made me want to leave... This is a shame because whomever smoked it knew what they were doing, but whomever was portioning it didn't seem to have knife or something to cut it with.... ... for the number of positive yelp reviews, this was a real miss...

My parents live in the west valley, so when they come to my side of town I always try to take them to places they've never been. Their first time here was outstanding and they already can't wait to go back. Emma is a gem. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and my parents loved how hospitable she was. They can't wait to go back. I got the salmon caesar salad and it was amazing. The brussel sprouts are all the hype. And the key lime pie - delicious.

A group of friends and I stopped in after an event and we were not disappointed! We ordered the brussel sprouts and burrata to start. Both dishes were a good size to share and had really good flavor! Our amazing waitress Zoe, brought us extra bread because of the size of our group! We also got the Waldorf salad and noodle salad to share. Both salad were night but still packed with flavor. We finished off the meal with two deserts that were soooo good! We were so fortunate to have Zoe as our waitress. She was incredibly friendly and made sure everything we needed was there. She was really enjoyable to talk to!

My first time at this restaurant, excellent food and service. We arrived right before Happy Hour ended, fun place to go for drinks and to share appetizers. It was crowded but not too loud, we sat inside but there is sitting on the patio. We celebrated our Birthdays and they give us special presents, a box of spices. It was a nice surprise. I will definitely be back. The best Key Lime Pie in Arizona!!!! Tip: make reservations and order the Key Lime Pie

This used to be one of my favorite hidden gems in the Biltmore, but unfortunately, my recent experience left a lot to be desired. When I arrived, the bar area was somewhat full, but the dining room had plenty of open tables. Still, the hostess informed me that there was a reservation coming up and I'd need to be out within an hour and a half. That's a tough way to be greeted--essentially, "We can seat you, but make it quick." I asked if it was standard practice to put time limits on tables, and she told me they prioritize reservations. When I expressed concern about feeling rushed, she simply suggested making a reservation next time. That set the tone, and not in a good way--especially since my wife and I are local regulars who often recommend this place through our personal businesses and networks. To be treated like our presence was less valuable than an upcoming reservation, on my birthday no less, was disappointing. No one asked if we were celebrating anything, and the service overall felt impersonal. Our server was kind but a bit awkward--no mention of specials, no effort to make it a warm or welcoming experience, just a very transactional vibe. The food was still good, but the hospitality fell short. This was the least enjoyable visit we've had here in years, and I hope it's not a sign of the direction things are heading.

Zoe was AMAZING! After an event, the gals decided to check out The Macintosh. We were warmly welcomed & seated immediately without a reservation. Our waitress Zoe was so kind and friendly to our party. The burrata toast was a show stopper. Absolutely loved the spicy tomato jam & arugula on top of the focaccia. The twisted noodle salad was a great shareable for us, and we added steak. Make sure you grab an old fashioned, and please do not skip dessert. The bread pudding was warm & delicious! We had a fun evening at The Macintosh!

First of all Shoutout to Zoe!!!! She was such an amazing hostess tonight! Great attitude so sweet and seamless service to my group. Such a great place to have a meetup with some friends, not too loud and not too quiet where you're scared to talk too loud. Good portion sizes that are great for sharing or eating by yourself. If you have a sweet tooth like me and are a light weight I recommend the smoke and berry cocktail. It's not too sweet and didn't hurt my sensitive stomach.

We took our 19-year-old college boys to dinner for their birthday in May at the Macintosh. I like that reservations are available for small parties, and also I was excited to try their happy hour. We were seated promptly at a high top table in the bar area. We let them know when we made the reservation that we were celebrating two birthdays, and they were immediately recognized. One server took drink and appetizer orders, and then handed everything off to a different server (who we started completely over with). Perhaps that's how the appetizers got messed up. Because it was the last night of restaurant week, one son ordered from the three course menu. He had the House smoked salmon appetizer, which was a ENORMOUS piece of tender smoked salmon with crackers and a side of yummy remoulade. He also ordered the ribs and the Butterscotch Pecan Pie. Perhaps because we had ordered a dessert, the house brought us a complimentary birthday order of charred brussel sprouts with whole roasted garlic cloves, tons of bacon and balsamic. They were amazing and I was shocked that all three of my men ate them! Super light and crispy from the deep fryer, they hardly represented vegetables anymore. Plated on a large cutting board dumped out of a big mason jar, super cute presentation. But also super good stuff! I ordered the $9 smoked salmon dip from the happy hour menu. I did not receive it. What I received was the $17 smoked salmon appetizer that was the same as my son's. Well, I actually would have preferred the dip, because I brought my own GF rice crackers. But the salmon was delicious even though twice the price of what I intended. I did not realize this dish was not the happy hour dip until the bill came, and when I inquired I was told that the salmon appetizer was not on happy hour. Yet no one offered to make this right when it wasn't what I had ordered. I sipped a HH Sazerac throughout the meal, it was boozy and strong, definitely didn't need two. I started with the beets and blue cheese appetizer from the happy hour menu. The beats were perfectly cooked, the cheese and walnuts were plentiful, I really only missed some kind of greens from this dish. I also had the Happy Hour blackened shrimp with risotto and arugula. It was good but unremarkable. I had ordered a side of the jalapeno cheese grits just to try, but it never arrived. Perhaps I forgot to reorder it because I was full. Spouse ordered a burger, as did the other son. He even chose asparagus as his side dish! Everyone was smiling at the end. Servers switch off and the one that handled the bill was different from the one who took the order. This, they seemed not to care that I was charged and delivered a different item than I ordered. I will have to come back to try the items I missed!

How have I never been here? The Blue Cheese New York Strip was very good. But save room for desert. The butterscotch and pecan pie or the bread pudding would both be worth having again. The service was over the top. So friendly and so kind. Just what I'd expect from a restaurant in that area. It was also so inviting and open inside. This is a must stop for anyone in the Biltmore area.

We decided to try the Macintosh after hearing some great things from some friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have alot of local beer companies on the menu so my bf decided to try their cider and it was great. We shared the roti and rib combo which is a must get. The ribs were perfect fall off the bone style. It was also perfect to share for a date. We tried the salmon appetizer which I thought was great - but would only recommend if you really enjoy fish. And for dessert we had the brownie which was definitely the right choice, but they had other options for those that don't prefer chocolate. Service was also great, it wasn't too loud outside. My bf has already mentioned 2 times this week how we need to go back and it's only been 4 days.

We had lunch here today while enjoying the Makers Market. My daughter and I each had the Ahi Poke Bowl and hubby has the brisket sandwich and fries. Everyone enjoyed their meals! There is not a lot of tuna, it's mixed with shrimp and other goodies but the flavor was excellent. Husband says the sandwich was fantastic and I stole a few fries (yummy) We each had a drink (Paloma/wine/beer). Good service as well. $93 before tip

The experience didn't start with my food, it started with the hostess Sophia. Honestly I was lost and thought this was the pizza place (which I later learned was around the corner). Sophia not only pointed me in the right direction but told me how amazing the food was here through our conversation. I went to the pizza place and didn't have it in me to wait 45mins. So I came back to my bestie Sophia. She shared her fave dish was 'Cowboy' Baby Back Ribs. My server Zoe shared the special for the day and I got that -- Meatloaf with a mushroom gravy, potato's, and spinach and kale. Look this food was so good I wanted to see if they had one back home to clearly invest with my patronage. Drink: Muddled Berry with Ginger Ale and Mint -- so so so good. 10/10 would drink again Food: Meatloaf with a mushroom gravy, potato's, and spinach and kale -- so flavorful and moist and just delightful. 10/10 would recommend. Dessert: Dark Chocolate Brownie -- 10/10 would recommend. Overall, I loved my experience and the food. The atmosphere in here is so chill and grown. I love everything about the execution of this whole restaurant. The people in PHX are lucky and need to know it!!

We showed up about 5pm on a Saturday night for a double date night. Our drinks were great, good food choices for everyone. Nice bar area and ambiance. We received great service!!

The service was great! Super cool atmosphere! The star though, was the Brussel sprouts. So good!! Shrimp salad was also great. If I'm very in the area again I will definitely stop.

The ambiance here is on of the great things here that keeps me coming back. Very quaint and a chill vibe that I makes me feel glad to be there. Dining here over the years has been nonstop with great experiences. I have brought friends here from my hometown Chicago and they too have loved everything about it. The food is delightful. Everything is cooked to order and from scratch. So many favorites like the charred brussel sprouts. This makes my mouth water when I think of them. Candied bacon, 'low and slow' garlic with balsamic reduction. This is the best. Then there are the boat load of wings that I discovered I prefer having the bbq sauce on the side instead of the wings tossed in it. Also, they have a buttermilk pesto dressing that I was introduced to for a dipping since they do not have blue cheese dressing. The buttermilk pesto sends tantalizing sparks throughout my mouth when enjoying it on with the wings. Have you tried the biscuits? Get them by themselves or the happy hour chicken and biscuit and you won't be disappointed. Can we talk about dessert? For the longest I would get the Dark Chocolate Brownie because I love chocolate and a good gooey brownie that's warm, topped with ice cream. This is the best of brownies. Then I was on this bread pudding venture wanting to know what is breading pudding and why is it so popular. Well The Macintosh was the 3rd and final place I tried breading pudding. I fell in love with it. The other couple of places I had tried bread pudding from were dry and I didn't care for the texture or flavors. But here you get bread pudding made from their biscuits topped with ice cream and bourbon anglaise. OMG!!!! Saying this is delicious is an understatement The service team is always so pleasantly kind and hospitable. Sharing their suggestions has helped me many times to enjoy different meals on my visits. When I realized I hadn't done a review here I couldn't believe it so here it is. If you didn't get it from the review, plainly said...I love this place.

I stopped in here for lunch today and really great experience! I chose to sit at the bar and it was pretty empty when I came in here at noon. Bartender was nice and service was spot on. Noodle salad with seared ahi tuna was delicious. Lunch total with beer, salad and upcharge for ahi tuna, tax and tip came to close to $50. Not exactly a cheap lunch. They did throw in a free appetizer coupon on next visit, which is good for 2 weeks. Nice spot and would consider coming back when I feel like treating myself to a nice lunch every once in awhile. Just the seared ahi tuna is worth it! Nice date spot too to impress that special someone!

Had a fantastic time at Macintosh after the Skin Spirit event with some Yelp Elite squad members. It was great to chat about the event and enjoy a meal together. Our waiter, Zoe, was phenomenal--so kind and surprised us with a complimentary dessert that was a delightful ending to our meal. The food was amazing; we shared two salads and an appetizer family style. Thanks, Zoe, for making our evening extra special!

This place is remarkable. Ambiance, service but most memorable was the food! Absolutely delicious. This is a great place for a date night. I would definitely return and highly recommend.

Excellent food and great service. This is a very attractive restaurant, offering a full bar. It has outdoor seating as well. The interior is very inviting, with a friendly hostess. The food is mostly American cuisine, and, don't miss the biscuits and honey butter as an appetizer. The steaks, short ribs are both excellent. Perfectly prepared, tender and flavorful. Their BBQ spareribs were also excellent, tender and flavorful. Plus, don't miss the butterscotch pecan pie for desert, excellent for sharing. We have dined regularly at several of the Collin's restaurants, so once again, they did not let us down.

Stopped in for dinner. Decided to call and was advised to schedule a reservation to ensure quick service. Was glad this was advised. As soon as the time came up my table was available, no delay. The waitress was great and helped in ordering. We tried the biscuits which were amazing!!! Probably the best I've had, they were flaky and soft. The short ribs were amazing and very moist. The roti and ribs were great, the chicken was great, very flavorful. The only thing that I wouldn't recommend was the steak. It wasn't bad, it just lacked in seasoning and flavor. Other than that it was amazing

Food ordered: Brussel Sprouts, Cajun Fish Sandwich, Black & Blue New York Strip Steak, 12oz. PROS: nice adult atmosphere; good attentive service; lots of parking; plenty Brussel Sprouts, blue cheese topping was delicious CONS: fish sandwich had no taste of Cajun, steak a little tough, not a fan of shoestring fries (to thin), Brussel Sprouts to oily. I would not order the sandwich or Brussels again.

We had a table of 6 for lunch, so we made reservations in advance. It wasn't busy but I always appreciate a place that takes reservations no matter the party size. I had the portabella sandwich which was served on a nice focaccia bread. Toasted and tasty. I didn't want fries so opted for the jalapeño grits which were fantastic with fresh jalapeño. Hubby had the brisket sandwich which he said was a bit plain but the sauce was good and the slaw outstanding. Service was five star!

I come here often from across town for the Twisted Noodle salad. It's probably the dressing and I could put it in anything and it would taste good. Waiter was doing double duty as bartender. He was very pleasant. Upon paying which I've noticed before but finally writing about it, was the suggested tip amount on the check. It states the amounts are calculated after tax. Why would anyone tip on Tax? How did a server contribute to my enjoyment of paying taxes on food? The Macintosh also only offers 20% plus calculations. Stating it will not change that tipping still begins at 15%. You do realize that servers now make $14+ hourly before tipping is added? I purchased a Gift Card in December. When using it to pay my bill, they will not charge a tip to the balance of my card. It is my money you know! This is just a sleazy way to get people to return and spend more money. How would your servers feel if I just left no tip instead? The Macintosh is part of Collin's Brother conglomerate also owns Collin's Chop House, Urban something, Grass Roots, Collin's Small batch Kitchen, and Wally's Pubs. Beware at all of them. Or just don't go until they make changes.

I've been going to MacIntosh for a few years now, and every visit feels like coming home. It's one of my favorite restaurants! I finally got to try their fish and chips this time--luckily, it wasn't sold out--and it was absolutely delicious. We went to celebrate my birthday and Valentine's Day with our kids, and as always, it was a great experience. I can never say anything bad about MacIntosh--good vibes, great food, and always a place I love coming back to!

We ordered steak and Brussels sprouts. Unfortunately, the food missed the mark and failed to justify the price. Perhaps our experience was a fluke but I cannot understand why this establishment is so highly rated. Our server was attentive and the facilities were clean.

My group ate a early meal Saturday night at the Macintosh. Reservations are available on OpenTables and it was busy enough to warrant one. The restaurant has a cool low-key vibe with a louder interior and an attached patio with space heaters if needed. The menu is a little lackluster and might be hard to navigate if you're a vegetarian who doesn't want a salad. We ordered a Harvest Salad, Twisted Noodle Salad II, Smoked Brisket Sandwich, and the Fish n Chips (special of the day). The consensus was everything was okay/good but not great. The Fish n Chips was bland but including some sauce and malt vinegar added the necessary flavors to enjoy. The Harvest Salad had some tough kale in it that could have benefited from some pre-treatment before serving. We had really good service from our waiter and the staff at the hostess stand was great. Despite the service and atmosphere, I don't think we will be returning here anytime soon.

We ate at The Macintosh on a late Saturday afternoon. There was no wait for a table, and because the weather was really nice, we opted to sit outside. The host came out and wiped our table down before seating us, but there was still dirt on the table. Not off to a great start, but we were hoping the food was good as we had heard from others we know. My son wanted the Chicken Tenders kids meal. For $10, it was a very generous amount of food and well thought out. It came with fries, grapes, a brownie, ketchup, and homemade bbq sauce. I ordered the Macintosh Caesar salad with rotisserie chicken and my husband ordered the Twisted Noodle salad; we also got a side order of grits to share. The Caesar dressing was top notch, and this was probably one of the top Caesar salads I've had. My husband liked his salad also, it was really more of a cold noodle dish vs a salad but the peanut dressing was good and they cooked the steak well. The grits were a bit of a disappointment for me personally due to the texture. They were much thicker and more like a mushy rice instead of what I'm used to which is a creamy texture. Overall, yes the food was good but I'd hesitate to go back (unless someone else was paying) due to the prices. The noodle salad was $22, granted it came with steak or shrimp but that's a hefty price for a lunch item. Caesar salad was $15 including the chicken, it was very good but I'm sure I could find a similar (but probably less delicious) salad elsewhere at a lower price. And this was just for the small, the large was even more. Their other entree menu items are priced similarly, most being $20+. This restaurant has been on my list for a while, which is why we went, ended up paying over $65 with tax/tip even tho we didn't get any drinks (not even soda).

Good atmosphere at The Macintosh. Ordered the Duroc Pork chop. It was cooked well. Nice tender chop. The sauce was good. Not too sweet. Only complaint was that it wasn't enough. But that could just be my penchant to over eat lol. We also ordered the grilled portobello sandwich. Tasted really good. Filling. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant. Our server made it a great experience. Very attentive. Would come here again.

Definitely a nice laidback ambiance here. This wasn't my first time and probably won't be my last, but hopefully the speed of service improves. Came here with a couple of friends before a comedy show on a Friday night around 8pm. The place was not packed out so I'm not sure what took so long to order and receive drinks. I got the lir margarita and it was regular to me, nothing really stood out. As for food, we got the brussels sprouts appetizer which is very tasty and I suppose now a tradition each time I come here. For my entree, I ordered the NY strip with loaded potato. The potato wasn't incredibly loaded and although my steak was tasty, at $40 I wish it was cooked to medium rare that I ordered instead of the medium I was given. Overall good spot, I just was not WOW'd by anything this time.

Friends!! We celebrated our dear friend's birthday at The Macintosh tonight. The experience was fantastic, the atmosphere was buzzy, our service team was super attentive, and the food was GREAT!!! They have a fantastic happy hour menu, and we loved that. The menu has an abundance of choices, ranging from vegetarian options to all kinds of meats! The salads, sandwiches, and pork chop were well seasoned and flavorful, but the macaroni and cheese took the spotlight. The chef himself came out with a special desert to honor our friend's birthday, which was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend trying out this great new find. Also, it's super conveniently close to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods!! My grade: A+
