I never thought mac and cheese could be done in so many ways until I stepped in the door. The aroma pleasantly assaulted my senses, and I was taken aback (in a really good way) by the menu. Burger Mac, Alfredo Mac, Pizza Mac, BBQ Shrimp Mac, Veggie Mac, Curry Chicken Mac, and that\u2019s not even half of the menu! There\u2019s literally something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the menu shows plenty of BK pride with offerings such as BK Classic Mac, Brooklyn North Mac, Brooklyn South Mac, BK Bridge Mac, and Brooklyn Burger Mac. Let the record reflect that Mac Shack is all about Brooklyn.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7353 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"macs\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/macs.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The macs can be a bit pricey, but it\u2019s worth it if you\u2019re a true mac and cheese lover. There are also sandwiches, soups and salads. If you\u2019d like to save some money, get one of the combo meals so you can get some mac, a protein, and some salad. The combos range from $10 to $15.
