Not much od service since its automated order when the lines are long.... the mac and cheese is definitely cheesey but just near the borderline ... get the chicken bacon and ranch..... and add the taco meat for added protein and flavor... the chicken is shredded and is easy on the pallet....couldn't eat in peace since randoms were asking if it good.... they good tell with the smile on our faces

Macs is an amazing new addition to Kalahari in Round Rock. Kalahari being from the Wisconsin Dells has brought an amazing food concept also from the Wisconsin Dells to Round Rock.
Food is great and love the hot Mac creations. The restaurant was crammed in however and not given a large enough space. Prices are a bit high because they are in the resort, kids meal portion is a rip off, not worth the price and wish they would offer locals a regular discount not just on special days.
I would call if the best option families have at Kalahari, everything else is overpriced food you can get the same or better across the street or down the road.

The food changed. Back then let’s say around April the food was incredible I always got the mama's meal, but now recently the food doesn’t hit the same. It’s not as good as it was before I’m not sure if they changed chef’s but all I know is that the food is disappointing and a letdown. If they did change the chef then please bring back the old one they know what they were doing this new chef does not.

Would have easily received five stars but the employees of this place seem like they have no life in them. Management should either considering hiring others or retraining.
Here’s a couple examples: - When we walked up to the screen to place our order, an employee just looked at us… no Hi. No Hello. Not a care in the world. - I walked up and asked if I could have a Togo container behind the counter. The employee replies “ Can you get it yourself”?
Well excuse me ☝️ Usually customers are not allowed behind the counter.
As for the food, it was very tasty and filling.
Be careful with customizing any dishes. They are extremely expensive. Drinks are also very unreasonably priced.
We might return again. We are actually locals that live nearby and were not staying at the resort. Our return depends on if they improve their staff.

The cheese could be sharper and the sauce lacked flavor and they could redo the prices because the Mac n cheese is bland the cheese had no sharpness for what was charged the flavor was lacking in the Mac and cheese don't know how it could be flavorless I used the standard Mac n cheese baked for the baseline and it wasn't anything to write home about it was not Mac in cheese the flavor needed help the sharpness that you get from good cheese wasn't even available I wouldn't pay for that again because the price wasn't worth it and I just think the cheese sauce could be alot better with the higher quality cheese it was so bad I'm use to Quality soul food mac n cheese and i was not impressed with it at all lower the prices or use better cheese that shaper tasting yes it looked better then it tasted but the flavor wasn't good.

The woman that wited on me to give me my food. Never smiled left my togo order in the window until the 5 person order that she was working on finished. This took 10 minutes lo ger than mine. Once I received my food it was so disappointing. I love Mac and cheese and I can safely say it was the worst I have ever had. Sitting here with my stomach turning wishing I had went to the steakhouse.

The ratio of Mac to cheese made this borderline inedible. It was almost a soup there was so much sauce and so few noodles. With a thick layer of melted cheese on top. Maybe some of the options with more inclusions are better, but I don't know how anyone could enjoy the basic Mama's Mac.The place was clean, the service was good, and the staff was nice.
This is our first time at Kalahari resort, such a great first impression. We heard about macs famous Wisconsin Mac and cheese, the potato Mac was amazing. The customer service was great, Andrew delivered our food and check on us as well!! Our family will be back for MACS.

Had "Mama's Mac and Cheese" and "Loaded Baked Potato Mac and Cheese". Mine has potatoes under all that bacon, and was delicious and looked more delicious than the Mama's version that had hot dogs on top. Their soda machine was down and they offered bottled drinks, but a bottled lemonade was $4.00, and bottled soda $3.75! We should have skipped the drinks and had water cups at the convention hall. I wondered why the tip suggestion was 15%, 20%, and 25% when nobody brings your food to you. It seems the tip is for how they clean up after you. Seems high for something that used to be only a couple of dollar bills.. maybe a $5 if you really made a mess.

Don't do add-ons, they're a waste of money. I ordered extra chicken for my chipotle chicken mac (because I need the protein) and it's almost as if they forgot to add the extra chicken. You also have to buy bottled drinks which cost an arm and a leg because you're paying those resort prices, you're better off just bringing in your own drink or not drinking anything at all. Now for my meal, it was overly cheesy. Some people might like that, but I didn't. My husband got the Memphis BBQ, which was 10x better than what I ordered (Chipotle) since it wasn't drowning in cheese. Portion sizes are decent, I ate about 1/4 of mine (couldn't finish it because it was super dense with all that cheese) while my husband ate all of his and we were both pretty full. Tried to get a to-go container, which took almost 5 minutes for a worker to ask me what I needed as they were too busy doing other things when no one was even ordering at the counter. Either way, willing to go back and try other things on the menu, maybe they can change my mind and my rating.
