Macarollin’

Macarollin’ is consistently delicious. I’ve never had one of their mac + cheese concotions and found it to be nasty/​strange/​unappetizing– no matter how unusual the flavors are that they’re combining. I’ve tried the Philly cheesesteak version, one with some salsa verde, one that was like caprese, and the plain ol’ standby. All were very good.
Downsides: pretty expensive for what it is and portions are huge/​very rich, so usually you have to share unless you feel like not eating again for the rest of the day.

Oh my god, this may be some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. I have tried the loaded potato, the caprese, and the original, and they are all amazing. I used to think there wasn’t much to mac and cheese, but this stuff made me change my mind. I always want to choose this place when it is around compared to the other trucks. Its definitely worth the price!

Mac & Cheese was good but could have been ever better with the breadcrumbs it’s known for. The Marketplace Mall location was OUT of breadcrumbs! To me, there’s no excuse for that.

Tried this food truck for the first time at the Charlotte Farmers Market.
I had heard good things about it and was excited to see it there.
Everyone at the market had some in hand.
I shelled out $ 11 for the lobster mac.
They do give a large portion.
But was disappointed with the flavor.
The sauce was very runny — watery w/​o much cheese flavor.
I was expecting rich, cheesy gooey’ness – but that wasn’t the case.
There were no large pieces of lobster – matter of fact, I didn’t really see anything that I could call lobster on top – there was a ton of crispy breadcrumbs on the top that overpowered any bits of shredded lobster that might have been on there.
I was disappointed.
:(

I’m sorry, but for the price you pay for one of these cups, you’d expect mom’s homemade mac and cheese but sadly it tastes like it comes from a box with powdered cheese and stale breadcrumbs.

I first saw this truck at the August Food Truck Rodeo but decided not to order from them because their dishes seemed too expensive. When I came back for the September Rodeo I decided to try them out, and I’m so glad I did! I tried their Classic mac, which cost $ 9, and while I was waiting to receive my order I kept thinking, «this had better be the best mac and cheese ever for $ 9!» I was not disappointed. First, the service was very fast and friendly, which I think is just as important as how good the food is. Second, the mac and cheese was amazing! I can’t remember exactly what types of cheeses they put in the classic, but I believe it was a combo of four, and it also had breadcrumbs on top. It was perfectly cheesy, the right temperature, had great crunch from the bread crumbs, and was just overall incredibly amazing! They also used a good amount of pepper, which I love, but might not be so great for others who don’t like pepper. I loved it, though, and would definitely order from them again!

Lobster Mac & Cheese. Huge portion for $ 13. Lobster was sweet and tender. Mac and cheese was fabulous!!!

I’ve been thinking about how to review Macarollin’ for awhile and the best idea I’ve been able to come up with is a list of bullets that call out the pros and cons since it’s a bit all over the place. Here goes nothing!
+ Great price for the buck. For somewhere between $ 8 — $ 10, you get what feels like nearly a pound of mac and cheese in a huge tub or carton.
+ Amazing bread crumbs. Toasted, seasoned, and herb’d to perfection. They’re so delicious I’d probably even put them on cupcakes, just ’cause.
+ Probably the best lobster mac and cheese I’ve ever had — ample lobster meat, bisque-​y mornay sauce, tastes of shellfish!
— Most of their mac and cheeses are only just all right. Incredibly standard and nothing worth gossiping over. A lot of pasta and a lot of cheese sauce, but not enough texture (outside of the crumbs) to go around. Wish there were more «things» inside it, whether it be veg or meat (freshly cooked, dried, or cured all would be wonderful). As it is today, it’s pretty much macaroni, cheese sauce, bread crumbs, and literally nothing else.
— Hard to differentiate the cheeses — they become so intermixed with each other that it’s hard to identify any differences /​flavors between them, whether it be mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère. Ultimately you’re ending up with this homogenized mess of random dairy products that takes away from the individual taste of each.
— The mornay sauce is also crazy heavvvvvyyy. You’ll be feeling it for awhile. Some people could see this as a pro, but it’s definitely too much for me.

The first time I had Macarollin at the June food truck rodeo I was blown away. I talked about it the whole rest of the month. I could not wait to eat it again. Then I had it again last night and it was not at all as good as it was the time before. I am a huge Mac and Cheese fan so I was very dissapointed by this. I hope the next time I have it they can earn back those two missing stars!

Thrilled to see them at the University of Rochester tasty Tuesdays event. Next time I will be more adventurous. I ordered their classic mac. I was happy with noodles that were a great consistency, not chewy, not mush. The amount of cheese sauce was perfect. The flavor was mild and really let the breadcrumb topping shine, it retained its crispness throughout my munching. You could see rosemary sprigs and other herbs mixed in the golden bread.

I had a chance to sample my wife’s basic mac and cheese. I’m not a real mac and cheese fan in general; so I may be a little biased. The premise has wonderful potential. I would suggest make it truly gourmet. Use exotic cheese and flavors from different parts of the globe. Imagine taking a classic comfort food and turning on its side; perhaps a Korean style «Samgyupsal» mac n cheese with bits of garlic, and green onion or traditional Indian style Vindaloo with bits of lamb or curry. The macaroni should be freshly made and accompanied with bits of native bread such as naan for the Indian style dish. Be creative; not bland.

I went to the May food truck rodeo and this truck enticed me enough that this is where I decided to eat that night. The line was super long so I figured that this place was going to be good. I was almost turned off by the line but it was moving pretty well so I figured I would be fine.
I was very surprised at how fast the line really did move along and I was happy. This place cranks out their food very quickly which is what helps keep the line moving.
I ordered the bacon macaroni & cheese. The cost was $ 10.00 which I thought was kind of steep at the time (I still do) but I wanted it and I was going to get it. When I did get it there was a good portion of mac & cheese so I was a little happier with the amount I paid.
The bacon was cooked perfectly and the cheese was great, it wasn’t too thick but still thin enough that it was kind of saucy. There was a corn salsa on it as well which I was a little iffy about but it brought something a little extra that I loved having. The mac & cheese was topped off with some breadcrumbs. The flavors were really awesome because you got a little bit of everything.
As I said earlier the price was $ 10.00 for this mac & cheese and although the product and the service was great, I think it was a little too expensive. Overall, I would come back and have something else on the menu but I would still look at other places first.

I had the opportunity to finally try this truck at the food truck rodeo. I had one thing on my mind: lobster mac & cheese! I more than willingly handed over $ 10 to try this wonderful concoction out.
Overall, it was good but not as good as I hoped it to be. It seemed under seasoned and there wasn’t much lobster. This truck has such great potential to be a big hit and I hope they take advantage of it!
Service was very friendly and the portions are easily enough for two people, so don’t forget a second fork!

Who would have thought that bacon maple and mac-​n-​cheese could be combined into one? Macarollin’ did it. At first bite, I was like wait, this is kinda sweet. Then, it all melded together into one sweet n’ salty dream come true. I shared it with my right hand gal because this portion is quite huge for one person. In my case, I was a the rodeo so I wanted to sample a few different things that night and needed room in my belly. Definitely a good option if you want a rich, comfort food. I didn’t love the texture of the bacon — wish it was thicker and crispier. But the flavor was good. The panko crumbs were a delight — I loved the crunch factor and they were well seasoned. I probably will settle for the classic next time as I’m just that kinda gal when it comes to Mac and cheese: the simpler, the better.
The Bacon Maple Mac goes for $ 8 for the cardboard carton. I was pleasantly satisfied and it was the perfect thing to warm me up on that chilly September evening.

Definitely had potential. Personally I did not care for the maple bacon Mac and cheese, too sweet for me. I liked the choice of pasta and the use of panko breadcrumbs. A bit pricey, but I would order again, if I were out and hungry, and the truck was there. Unfortunately, not unique or mind blowingly delicious enough that I would go out of my way to seek them out.

I first tried out Macarollin’ at the Larkin Food Truck event on a whim. At $ 10 I was debating if the food would be worth it. This is probably the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had! Fresh lobster, delicious sliky cheese (gruyère and chedar I think), cavatappi pasta, and seasoned bread crumbs. Delicious! I would easily pay $ 15 or more for the stuff. This mac and cheese is so good I came back to the food truck event the following week just to order from this truck and bring home.
Right now this is my favorite Buffalo/​Rochester food truck. Definitely give it a try!

Hands down, I think this place serves the best lobster mac and cheese I have found, thus far. I went to the Larkin Square Tuesday food truck event, which is where I encountered this tasty goodness. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey for $ 10, but after a couple of bites, I would gladly pay that again. The bread crumbs on top were nicely seasoned. The macaroni was so creamy and tasty. The best part, was the high quality lobster meat they used. All in all, I can’t wait to have another helping.

I came here one time when they were in Buffalo for the Larkin Food Truck Rodeo. I was very excited to try their Mac and Cheese. I love when restaurants make home made mac and cheese and thought that this should be good.
There wasn’t a line at the truck so I went up and ordered their Classic Mac and Cheese. It was $ 7. My order was given to me right away. After a few bites, I wasn’t too pleased. It just tasted creamy, almost like they had forgotten the cheese. I did like the bread crumbs on top. All in all, I was disappointed by it.
I thought $ 7 for 2 scoops of macaroni was so expensive! Especially thinking of how cheap it may be to make this. I will possibly be back in the future and try a different kind.
