    It was kids day at Mad Macs on Sunday. Bluey was there and almost every tv had Bluey on. We were unaware that this event was scheduled so we were very surprised. All of this is fine, except the tv’s were extremely loud. The hostesses were very apologetic and helpful in finding us a table in the bar area away from the chaos. The waitstaff are always very friendly and accommodating. We love hanging out here in the evenings. But will check with their event’s schedule before going again on Sunday. Lol

    Not sure why but latest visit was unlike past experiences. Macaroni dishes were dry with very little cheese and flavor. Table next to us sent most of their dishes back so was not isolated. Strange as past experiences were good. Hope is was just a bad night for them.

    Lots of traffic of patrons and servers going in and out the side door to the patio. Every single time, the door bangs. Maybe use a bit of weatherstripping to not be so annoying to the surrounding tables. Food was good but service was a bit unprofessional, even given the understanding that it was a bar, I don’t expect one of the servers to hang out at one of the tables kissing their partner.

    Made reservations for 10 pm and they didn't have a table for us when we got there, once seated we waited for 15 minutes before I had to ask a different waitress that was helping another table when will somebody come by to at least take our drink orders. Seemed like they sat us at the table without telling someone we were out there. Food was good though and came out at a good time. We were brought the wrong bill as well.

    The service and food was great but this is essentially a dive bar with good food. Our server was fantastic. We were seated outside so it was better because inside the noise level was very loud.

    The slowest service ever. Took about an hour for mac n cheese, it was cold and gross and had to send it back. Whats with the extremely loud music that sounds like the songs are in slow motion? Could barely hear my husband who was sitting right in front of me. Food Made me sick on the ride home.
