Mr. Mac’s |
Cheese Please! |
A creamy, cheesy combination of Barilla elbow macaroni, cheddar, Muenster, Gruyère and pecorino. Adorable, served sizzling hot in individual cast iron skillets. |
There are 18 varieties of mac and cheese on the menu, including Philly cheesesteak, lobster mac and cheese, veggie mac, pulled pork mac, jalapeno mac — all using real cheese, not the artificial orange kind. |

Mac n’ Cheese Pizza (Pictured) |
Oh, my gosh. It’s really true. A mac and cheese pizza. A truly amazing pairing of two popular meltingly delicious dishes. Many, many calories, but hey, you deserve it. |
Why not go all out and order their lobster mac n’ cheese too? Scrumptious. |
|
Roundabout Diner |
Pulled Pork |
Imagine pairing the diner’s award-winning,15-hour-smoked pulled pork with oozing melting cheddar cheese inside, grilled on tangy sourdough bread. |
It’s pretty darn addictive once you’ve tried it. Could be one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the state. See what you think and report back. |

Wild Willy’s Burgers |
Wild Willy’s French Fries with Melted Cheddar Cheese |
Fresh hand-cut Maine potato fries, with skins left on, crisp on the outside, lightly salted, tender on the inside, dripping with melted cheddar cheese all over the top. |
Pair it with a strawberry frappe or thick chocolate shake and you’ll be tying on your blue suede shoes and goin’ to the hop. |
|
Bianco Pizza |
All white, no red sauce, with a delicate thin crust, this pizza is topped with pillows of ricotta, showers of Parmesan, roasted sweet onion, fresh basil, chilis and garlic. |
Cheese lovers will also want to try the hearth-baked feta cheese for two, with olives, lemon, parsley drizzle and rosemary garlic flatbread. |
