Haven't been here in a long time (since before Covid). I just went recently and I didn't realize how much they added to their menu! Back in my day, they only had mac & cheese. Now they have sammiches and pizzas and others. Looks like I'll have to have the tough job of working my way thru the menu and seeing what's good. I got the Little Piggy Mac, which I love. It's one of my favorite macs they have (and there's a lot of good ones). I also had an e-foodie coupon (pro-tip, sign up for that if you're in the Brea/Fullerton area) for a BOGO, so I also tried their new Turkey Sandwich and that is really good too. The smoked turkey goes great with the blueberry jam on it! Great idea. Feels like Thanksgiving leftovers eating now in December.
This was my first visit to this location and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the When Pigs Fly plate (mac & cheese with bacon) and it was SO good! The perfect amount of bacon in there. There were three of us in my party and we only waited about 10-15 minutes to get our food. Instead of getting regular drinks from the soda fountain, I like to get their bottled soda. The black cherry cream soda is really tasty. I'm looking forward to going back and trying a new mac & cheese flavor.
Say cheese! Had the Masala mac with added paneer and chicken! It was so flavorful and delicious! Kids ordered the Pizza tots appetizer and the Fungi mac. Super yummy! Servings are ample and we ended up with leftovers. Cannot wait to go try new things here next time!
For a place that specializes in mac n cheese, I was expecting great mac n cheese, but it was just ok. I've had better mac n cheese at places where it's just a side dish. Also it was my first time there and I didn't notice it until afterwards, but it would have been nice if they would have suggested for me to get the "trio mac".
Found this place on Instagram. Went for lunch today. I ordered a few items, truffle fries, pretzel bites with fondue, mac n cheese pizza, the lobster mac n cheese or as its says on the menu, "so shellfish" and 4 cheese man n cheese or "4 cheese 4 me" Where to start? Saaaaaalty! The lobster mac and the 4 cheese mac was overly salted. The crunchy topping on both tasted like it was freezer burned. The pretzel bitez also tasted like they have been in the freezer a bit too long or weren't stored properly sealed in the freezer. The fondue wasn't terrible but it wasn't on point either. Next the mac n cheese pizza, complete waste of time. Soggy soft store bought crust with tasteless tomato sauce, topped with mac n cheese. Crap, imagine one of those thin nasty frozen Totinos pizzas cooked in a microwave for 2 minutes and topped with the crappiest off brand boxed macaroni and cheese you can find. Lastly the "truffle fries" no truffles in sight. Not suprised. They are basic fries dusted with parsley, garlic and Parmesan cheese and the smallest drizzle of truffle oil possible. All in all don't go. Service was ok, Id say kids in there early to mid 20's working there cuz they need to make money but not giving 2 f#@ks about the quality of food they put out. I think this place has a tone of potential if they hired a chef that actually cared about the food he or she puts out. The location is prime time, Downtown Brea right next to the movie theater. If the food was good here it would be packed for lunch and dinner. - Laugh, live and eat good food!
