First time there since it was a ground round. Server was great even though we confused her but it was our fault. Couldn't have had a better one. Manager came over and sat with us which made for an even more enjoyable night out. All will definitely be back and recomend.

I went to Mad Macs for the first time on Wednesday when me and my fiance had a night without our 3 year old. There were tvs everywhere and live music by the bar. The food was absolutely amazing. Amy was such a darling waitress and helped me order because I was unsure. The honey Chipotle wings were s...

They don't season the water for the pasta. They do not believe in salt when cooking. As a result, I tend to bring my own seasoning, or only eat a small portion knowing I will have to season it later. Also, every time, every single time I order the lobster mac and cheese, the portion is significantly...

Overall I would describe as not bad or not my first choice .
Take-out and delivery service are TERRIBLE. Whenever I have ordered food for pickup it is always wrong, cold, and/or a way smaller portion than what you get for dine-in. Delivery is usually even worse than picking it up myself. At leas...

Problems:

Problems:
1. Not named after Mel Gibson film OR fury road
2. Service is abysmal. Almost doesn't exist.
3. Delivered items sometimes moldy.
4. Formerly had decent kangaroo burger. No longer.
5. Mac and cheese should not be a menu theme.

The reviews mention the poor service... I didn't believe them.
I do now.
I don't expect to be served instantly, but I do expect my presence to be acknowledged.
She ignored me for several minutes.
So we finished our drinks and left.
If you want great service and great food, go to Two Stones Pu...

My girlfriend has been telling me about this place for quite a while and I can see why. The food was excellent and that was matched by the service. The owner came over and talked to us multiple times, even showing us pics of new dishes. Would definitely drive out here again.

Our large group of hikers was comfortably seated around a u-shaped table. Our very pleasant waitperson worked quickly to take our orders and keep things correct. We enjoyed salads, sandwiches and mac&cheese of various varieties. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Good beer selection, excellent Fr...

It is a bar with a dining room. We both had Mac and cheese and it was really good. Service was slow because they didn't have enough staff on. I tried the fried brownies and did not like them the brownie did not taste that good. My husband got the lemon blueberry cheesecake and said it was dry.

Cant say enough good things about this place from the food to the service to the AMAZING S'mores milkshake. Was impressed by knowledge and friendliness of staff and for how quickly our food came out. Did I mention the boozy milkshake cuz honestly that's about all I remember AA+

We went bc they had live music. We sat in the bar area. Plenty of TVs with games on. Our server was good. Bar food is usually better than it was this night; the cheesesteak rolls were too greasy. The wings were good. The singer was the best thing that night, 7/13.

I was pleasantly surprised. I went on a Friday night around 10 pm. They weren't a counter service restaurant. They were a sit down restaurant with a bar and a good band. We got the Popeye Mac and Cheese and it was delicious. Best part was the baked cheese top with bread crumbs.
The service we had w...

Service is always great here. The bar is pretty lively and the restuarant side is quieter. Food is great. Wings with the secret sauce, nachos, Mac and cheese are all wonderful options.
The only con I can think of is that the bar can sometimes be too noisy, but that's just me.

It wasn't somewhere I would have chosen personally, I'm an "out of towner", but had a wonderful evening.
Good family/sports bar atmosphere with "screens".
Good generous portions of delicious food. Fair selection of beers too.
Wouldn't hesitate to return next time in Newark.

I was pretty disappointed in our whole experience at Mad Macs. We went at 5 on Sunday night, despite having a two year old and a five year old with us, they still asked if we would like to sit at the bar, or sit in the dining room... (?) the bar was pretty full and loud at this time and the live mu...

The hot dog with chili is fantastic. Some curry or other spice in the chili makes it. No skinny dog here loaded and the bread is somewhere between a bun and a loaf of French bread. Whole range of beers from cheap to craft. Nice open outside area to sit and drink safely. Dan gave great service ask fo...

This is not a family place. We just went at 3 pm on a Monday and they had a sign to seat yourself where we did. Then waited 10 minutes while the bartender/servers kept looking at us and would visit only the bar and the only other table. As a bartender and server myself I understand how difficult the...

Took my kids there for dinner on our way home from a trip since they love Mac and cheese. We were seated in the back by the kitchen and wait station, which was good because the bar area was packed and really loud due to the Eagles game being on.
We ordered drinks and an appetizer to start and we or...

Great wings, good prices and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend their pretzels for an appetizer!!!! The staff is very nice, and the service is fast. No waiting 20 minutes just to get your drinks! There are at least a dozen TVs there with a variety of games on, so no matter who your team is, or ...

Menu has been chopped down and several good items have been removed. Food prices have rose greatly. The appetizers are pre made and aren't large enough for the money your paying. The Buffalo chicken dip was roughly two table spoons. My chicken on waffles came out and the waffles were so old and unfi...

The kind of menu that just one visit can't do it justice. Great appetizers, fantastic burgers, and I can't quite decide on a good enough superlative for the Mac and cheese dishes. If you're anywhere close, stop in. Oh, be sure to check out the restrooms, too. This is a one of a kind place!

The crowd is friendly and will gladly buy you a beer if you re new in town. It s got a great vibe - part Cheers, part local mainsta...

Never in my entire life have I felt a deeper anger then when I was seated at this restaurant for 25 minutes and no one came to the tables to take even a water order. I went up to the hostess stand to tell them that we were leaving but again no one was there. I then went outside to place a phone call...
