Menu says Jalapeño poppers have bacon and mozzarella in them. Not true. They are just cooking poppers they bought from a supplier with cream cheese in them . Don’t buy them and think the menu is correct.

Overall, not bad at all. The cheese sauce was creamy and somewhat rich, but lacked what seemed like (to me) more nuanced, developed cheeses, or a more technical mornay sauce - rather relying heavily on what tasted like Velveeta or American products alongside maybe some dry seasonings, which can be great if you're craving it. Otherwise, the noodles were definitely a bit overcooked.
It can be a bit challenging to find exceptional mac since Fool's Errand closed, but in a pinch, Rod-n-Makk can get the job done.

Why do white people always be tryin' to compensate for something? Take away the novelty factor of the "Lightning Rod" being very big, very dark, and very phallic, and what's left is okay. The seasoning has a burnt profile to it despite being fried to perfection, and the cheese inside has no seasoning from what I can tell. If they were going to try for novelty, why not transfer the delicate seasoning to the inside?

This place was a hidden gem I'm glad I came across:) Honestly, I thought I was just going to get a huge cheese stick, but it was much more than that.It had all kinds of cool stuff for you to look at, and the lightning Rod Cheese stick I got was amazing? Not to mention, the shopping mall that it was in had so much other cool stuff as well, definitely glad I stopped.

The Buffalo Mac n cheese was delicious! Paired with an orange cream soda, heavenly! My friend ordered the Rod and it was just ok. The cheese was not fully melted. I think the oil was a bit hot. However, the gentleman on the grill was very nice and it was busy. I would definitely visit again next time!

Absolute must if you’re a lover of cheese! Like a Korean corn dog and a mozzarella stick had a baby, but better than both. And you definitely have to get the buffalo parm dip, it’s delicious!!

The Hot n Honey was so good and the Hot Rod sauce with 10/10. The hot rod was atleast a foot long. Definitely check this place out

Food was nothing special. The huge mozz stick is neat for being something unusual, but nothing great in terms of flavor. Mac and cheese was the okayest at best. Might have been better if it was served hot instead of room temperature (and I picked up my order 1 minute after getting text it was done). For the price of the food I would not consider this worth returning for
