Almost everything has a gf version. Staff was knowledgeable and noted celiac for the order. Came out in separate box and the tray was a different color than the rest. Also delicious!!

We have eaten here multiple times and my child who has celiac always gets the GF American Mac n cheese and loves it. It comes out in a separate container and is clearly marked. We’ve never had any issues with contamination coming here and the food is delicious!

Cashier seemed knowledgeable about menu but was very sick after eating the GF philly cheese steak Mac. I have ordered this from Mac-n-Choose before with no issues so thought it would be safe. At least it tasted good

i have gotten food from this place twice. the first time i was okay, but the second time i got very sick. i think no matter what "precautions" they are taking, it is difficult to prevent cross contamination in an environment where 99% of the cooking is a wheat flour pasta.

tasted great but not worth the risk in my opinion. easier just to make gf mac and cheese at home.

Phenomenal!!!! I am Celiac, lactose and soy allergic. Wonderful ordering allergy friendly food that was DELICIOUS and satiating. Vanessa was so informative about all the allergies and what was on the menu. If there were 10 stars I’d give 10. Definitely on my top favorite GF, DF, & Soy free food. They are also nut free and egg free.

Went there for lunch last week. Considering not only do I have to stay away from gluten, but some other things including high fructose corn syrup, I had a few questions to ask, as I was unsure about what some of the sauces contain. The guy that helped us was very helpful - even going out back to see if there was anything offending for me in the pizza sauce for the Pizza Mac! (Which I ended up getting.) I was assured no HFCS was in the Pizza Sauce, along with the Scampi sauce from what I was told. They have two kinds of GF pasta, one made from rice and the other made from chickpeas (chickpeas give me a reaction so I can't have it). They even had GF breadcrumbs to put on top! When the food came out it was in a single serving baking pan, and the taste was great! I recommend coming to this chain of restaurant.

Always perfectly executed and delicious! Difficult to replicate the taste and texture of these meals; seriously, Mr. Macs will blow your grandmother’s “special recipe” away(keep that quiet). Many options for different tastes. Barilla rice pasta can be substituted for any menu item at no extra charge, or Banza chickpea pasta with a surcharge. Rated Best in New Hampshire by NH Magazine reader’s poll, and highly reviewed by the Phantom Gourmet. Definitely worth a detour if you’re near by, and definitely a must-stop if you’re in the neighborhood. (I love having Amazon returns as the UPS store is next door)

So I've been to this location and the one is portsmouth about a dozen times. I use a Nima sensor and I always test my food from restaurants for gluten. The Manchester location has only ever tested positive for gluten once which was the last time I went there, about a week ago. The portsmouth location has never tested positive for gluten. The food is very heavy and as someone with IBD as well as celiac, it's rough on the stomach, but usually gluten free.

We ate here twice with my family while visiting and it is completely safe! They use flags indicating allergy, the staff can tell you which macaroni dishes are GF and we really enjoyed it! My favorite was the taco mac and cheese and my daughter ordered the jalapeño mac and cheese and that was delicious! Also, my husband and others loved the chicken, bacon, ranch. Those were the favorites. Please order the small. It is huge!

Oh this is good. Like so good. Dangerously good. I just gobbled up the Blazin' Buffalo and am bringing home a "home bake" order for the family tonight. They prep it and the customer takes it home and heats it up. And they're opening one in Portsmouth in December 2016! Great customer service, too. So nice. Also reassuring that they put a little wooden gf tag in your order—otherwise I'd be doubting that something this good could be gf.

Since my son was diagnosed with a gluten allergy - I had braced that he would not likely able to walk into a restaurant and order his beloved, Mac and Cheese - let alone it be "artisan" and delicious. This place is a GF comfort food paradise.

Eight yr old review: "I would give it more stars if I could. This place is awesome" GF dad: "GF Heaven" Non GF family: couldn't choose so we all sampled and it was delicious.

Also we were traveling past on a road trip and wanted something fast - from ordering to on our table 5-10min.

Wait staff very knowledgable and GF educated.

GF'ers even got a GF brownie to go and it was soft and awesome.

I had the plain Mac and cheese and it was outstanding! The staff was very knowledgable and made sure the kitchen knew it was gluten free because of celiac so they would be very cautious. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food doesn't disappoint. I know people say it's expensive, but I didn't really think so given how much food you get.

I took my wife here (about an 1.5 hour trip) for dinner on her birthday since her favorite dish in world is Mac and Cheese. I hate Mac and Cheese but found I could have American Chop Suey as a non cheesy entree. My dish (a goulash of elbows, meat, andspicy tomato based sauce) was better than any goulash I've had! My wife was sure it was the best Mac and cheese she has had (she got the bacon cheeseburger Mac and cheese) because the cheddar they use is so good and the flavor complexities are definitely worth the price. I also love that since it stays in its cast iron skillet the meal stayed warm the entire time! This may end up being a birthday tradition but it is very pricey. As a once in awhile event you can go there confident you can get a great dish with minimal gluten contact and contamination

A little pricy for pasta but we are used to paying more for GF and it's not like we have an option. We've tried 4 different dishes and liked them all. The 1st visit they did put cheese-its on top so they had to make another one but they have not made that mistake again.

It was good but expensive for what you are getting. They charge 3 dollars more for gluten free for the large which isn't bad but the original price for just a basic mac without even meat is a little nuts. Ended up paying 25 dollars for just mac and cheese. It's good but not the absolute best in the world as the reviews on their Facebook page say. I can't say I'll be eating there again but if you are looking for a night out then go for it. It is decent but pricey.

Every time I see lobster mac and cheese on a menu, I am a little sad because I know it won't be an option for me. When I saw it on the menu at Mr. Mac's I knew right away what I was going to order. Given the quick service atmosphere, I wasn't expecting to see much lobster in the dish, but when the piping hot skillet was placed in front of me I could immediately see I had guess wrong. Every bit had a hunk of lobster in it, and after eating my fill of the small version of this dish, I needed a box for the left driver. It was too much to eat in one sitting and to good to waste a bit.

I have eaten here probably around 10 times. Up until the last two I had no issues and the food was very good. The last time I went I noticed some noodles that looked different in my dish, I felt a little sick after so I threw the leftovers away. I was hoping this was a one time issue but I went today and after eating there I had a horrible reaction. I will not be going back. One issue was a mistake but twice moves this to the do not go list.
