Elbows Mac N' Cheese Texas

Decided to finally visit the place. The best thing about this place was the atmosphere. The music was nice, the location clean, the area feels warm to be in. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. The place seemed fairly empty and stayed that way throughout our experience. I feel the high prices for the food was the leading culprit for this. We saw a few customers come and go after looking at the prices for a minute or so. It seems the franchise forgot to price their menu for the location they set up shop for. The serving portions were very small for the pricing. I do not normally compare other locations in my reviews but this one will merit a comparison due to the food to price ratio. A 40 dollar platter was equivalent in food portion to a 15-20 dollar platter at other locations. The "mega strips" were sadly anything but mega. When I worked in the industry, these were the basic strip size/portions we would sell for a third of the pricing. The Mac bowls were the better valued items, however, a decent profit could still be made with larger more filling portions. In the topic of food, flavoring unfortunately fell short as well. The fries were ok but had little to no seasoning or flavor to them. A little bit more salt could of gone a long way. The breading of the strips hinted at a bit burnt and the flavor was sub par. They were also a bit on the dry side. The cheese balls had a decent flavor for the filling, however; the breading used for this one had a stale, close to expired flavor you normally get when you leave breading open for a while or unused for months. I honestly think the breading should be changed out asap cause it made the flavor of the cheese ball take a serious hit. I know this is a bad review but hopefully this honest observation can help the location improve its services and help them turn a better profit in the future. Summery: Pricing would be ok if the portions matched the cost. Food quality needs to be checked to ensure freshness. Atmosphere feels good and the place has good potential to become a gem if the above is addressed.

I really like the concept and food selection here…but honestly the prices are really on the high side…and frankly not something I would go out the way for a weekly thing or monthly thing. I appreciate the quality of cheese being used Ordered the Phillysteak melt…all there is was steak and cheese…nothing else. Pulled pork Mac and cheese was good. I really like the fries.

The first time to try and the staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was cooked to order and had really good taste,the mac n cheese water hot when it came out and the slight char on the cheese gives it another good different flavor, the wing sauce just brings it up to a whole level of goodness, the boneless wings were close to being over cooked but still were good. The place is spacious and clean and comfortable feeling. The prices are a little on the high side, in my opinion, but it was a good experience overall.

This place was really delicious! Drinks aren’t included with the meals so it’s understandable of the prices. The pizza my heart regular macaroni was really delicious. It wasn’t too overwhelming and it is extremely cheesy! The pepperoni actually gave it that little hint of flavor it would be missing. The pulled pork sandwich was very tender cheesy and creamy. The Texas toast bread was toasted just right. The sauce in a way tasted like sweet chili sauce if being honest. The fries could have used a bit more of seasoning. The Mac and cheese balls where good with the sauce but I believe the flavor of the Mac and cheese inside of it was too overwhelming and overpowering. They’re really big in size! Would definitely would recommend and would be going back soon to try more of their menu!

The food here is really good! Honestly my favorite part was the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were, well, tender! The outside was nice and crunchy while the meat was soft and juicy. The Mac was great, of course. We tried the More Cheese for Me and I will absolutely be trying the other macs on the menu! We ordered the Mac Daddy combo with an extra side of fries. Very very good.
