NOT AMAZING..NOT THE BEST IN THE CITY.. but it'd pretty good, the pizza shaped plates and boxes are cool, the big sized ones are cool to take home for a quick din din.
My main complaint?..TOO MUCH CHEESE..NOT ENOUGH PASTA.
some of the cheeses u choose can be overly salty, so be careful what u choose. I like it with extra bread crumbs, makes a nice crust.

the "CLASSIC" type:
pretty good, VERY cheesy, no cream,yogurt or anything like that to make it creamy, I like that type of M&C,but this isn't that kind. B&H dairy makes a typical cafeteria type M&C that has cream in it, and WAY more noodles, i like it, but it isn't amazing either, just pretty good.
a lot of the other varieties taste the same,like the regular type, and this kind is a few bucks less..

"3 CHEESE"
It may be 4 cheese? or 3 cheese, forgot, but this tasted VERY similar to the classic, BUT..It was very stringy and melty.. again, i like more pasta, this had mounds of cheese, still pretty darn good, but not amazing. It was VERY similar to the classic type,but a little stringier and saltier.

"NEOPOLOTINI" I probably spelled it wrong, but it's something like Neapolitan, i expected red sauce and mozz, on elbo macaroni..
but it had just small chunks of roasted tomato, and was like regular mac n cheese again, disappointed, i wanted Italian pasta..it was a let down.

"CREATE YOUR OWN"
I did this, i added cilantro,shitaki mushrooms and Cheddar & Swiss cheese. the mix was good, I got extra breadcrumbs, i didn't like the swiss cheese i chose, you would think it wouldn't be bad,swiss is great melted on sandwiches & burgers..
..but it wasn't a great cheese to choose, the mushrooms and cilantro were good.
after this, i'd go with the classic,
the add-in's are a great idea, but u can't really taste the cilantro or the roasted tomato, but the shitaki were good. I think the fancy stuff could be better, they are good on paper,or in theory, but the end product wasn't as exciting as I imagined.
I mean, an Italian themed mac n cheese can have big basil leaves,bubbling red sauce with chunky tomato in it..but it looked like the standard M&C with tiny bits of tomato that u couldn't taste..just not very inspired.
prices are ok, and the take-out worked well. they were nice, too..on the phone. I give the classic recipe a 3.5 out of 5, maybe way higher if u like globs of cheese and not lots of noodles.
