Great service! We both had the prime rib and it was good. The salad was excellent. We will go back in the next few weeks and try a few new things.

Just a date night with the wife, we were properly seated on time by the hostess and received prompt service from start to finish. Drinks and food were generous portions, and the white staff was very attentive. The redfish and grilled shrimp as entrees did not disappoint as both were served hot and full of flavor. The overall restaurant decor is a bit dated and it's loud due to the old school tile floors, but still a very nice night out. We will be back.

We came in yesterday to celebrate Father's Day, party of 4 at 5pm. We had 5pm reservations and were seated on time. We have been eating at this establishment for YEARS Decades)! MAC came by our table and said hello to my parents, as well as, my boyfriend who he also knows. The service was horrible. Let me start with I think the kitchen was backed up way before we arrived. To the hostesses, if you have a party of 4 you should put 4 sets of silverware out for each. person. Help out the waitress with providing water to your patrons vs. two young hostesses chatting sbd stsnding around. After sitting at the table for 10 minutes I asked the hostess to bring us additional silverware and water even though the waitress eventually brought us our drink order. We ordered 3 different appetizers to share, as well as, 2 soup and salad orders and a steak entree. When the appetizers came out there was no serving spoon to serve the crab claws. We had also asked for more hot bread for the crab claws. We ended up using the teaspoon to serve ourselves. By the time we got a spoon and more bread we we were finished the appetizers. The salads came to the table at a different time than the gumbo was brought out. Why? My parents had the gumbo and the seafood was lacking in the bowl of soup. Nothing we ordered came out on time or together. I'm not sure what was going on, but when we spend $200 for dinner I expect good service, food and a nice environment. Do better, busy or not.

Colby was our server. He did a great job and all the food was lovely. That part was 5 stars.
The hostesses and seating arrangements were dismal. Almost walked out - the evening would have been better if we had left.
Walked into an early dinner at 4.15pm - timed early because we didn't have a reservation (Saturday, June 7th). Our group of five (including one person with a severe walking disability & cane) was shown to a table of four and told this was the biggest table due to other reservations. When we left after our meal, the restaurant was still half empty. Had our table been a more appropriate size, we would have ordered more food & beverages than we did.
Suggestion to the management: Figure out how to offer more tables that accommodate 5 & 6 people. There were a number of 2-person parties at 4-tops (which is what my husband and I had previously). You can have an entire section of 6-tops and 2-tops. And re-train the hostess staff on how to ensure every customer starts with a positive experience.
Right now, you are losing business. We live locally. Not only did we spend less this visit than we intended, but we would think twice before going to your restaurant in the future.

We celebrated Father's Day by visiting, and I made a reservation, but I didn't notice that they were only offering the brunch menu for lunch. It caught us a bit off guard, but in the end, it turned out to be a nice surprise! It would be great if this information could be shared on social media or OpenTable, so that everyone knows what to expect. Overall, we had a lovely time!

We love Mac's and usually eat their delicious Prime Rib. I booked a reservation for Mac's on Father's Day. I had never been aware that on Sundays they serve brunch up until 3PM. What a pleasant surprise and interesting brunch we had. We chose different egg benedict dishes, both delicious and with that came complimentary fruit plate, cinnamon rolls, and salad bowl. Our server Ed was awesome. Allie at the bar made a fabulous slightly dirty martini. We love Mac's. It is a neighborhood gem.

Mac's is one of our favorite restaurants in Arlington. Food is always excellent and service is very good. Their Sunday brunch is our favorite!
Denise
It was a nice and memorable experience. We have only done Mac's brunch twice in all the years of coming to Mac's for dinner. Mac's didn't let us down. The food was delicious. The cinnamon rolls were delicious along with the assortment of fresh fruit which delighted our  pallet with anticipation for our eggs Benedict to arrive at our table.

Buger so big my eyes had to just take it home!!! Cinnamon rolls delicious and fruit is good!! With a ice cold lemonade
The blackened redfish with the crawfish etouffeé on top was amazing! Highly recommend
Jason
Service was lacking today, but the food was delicious as usual. The servers need to introduce themselves and check for drink refills more often. You cannot depend on the busboys all the time for drink refills.

We go almost every Saturday, but yesterday steak was overcooked & salad looked and tasted old. Barely ate any of it. I'm sure it will be better next week.This was very unusual.

Orange roughy, clam chowder, and jicama salad was excellent. Server Nicole is always fantastic.
