Pecan Lodge
When we saw that Pecan Lodge tied for the top spot, we weren’t surprised. That’s literally the first words we said, “no surprise, haha!” It’s that gluey cheese, thick noodle mac topped with bacon. It’s so good that even the Food Network acknowledges it in its short review of the BBQ spot!

This restaurant has sat on Henderson Ave since…well we couldn’t find tidbit on Google, but at least as long as we have lived here haha! It was one of the first places recommended to us when we moved here for its authentic Southern cuisine. Apparently the mac n cheese is a highlight on the menu because it comes with smoked ham!! We have yet to try but looks like we need to ASAP!

Eatzi's

Rounding out second place (or third, because there’s a tie for first?!) is one of our own favorites Eatzi's! You can find it at their hot bar. It’s not visible so you have to ask for it! And you can get a giant plate (yum) or just a side and pair it with a meat and veggie for a nice and affordable dinner!
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS

Look no further than Brick & Bones in Deep Ellum when wanting to try a specialty mac n' cheese. The habanero bacon mac is just as good as it sounds. Topped with bacon and chives, this side would also make the perfect late meal as they are open until 2am.
