We visited Mac's for the first time tonight. I'd often wondered how it was, but it's nearly impossible to lure my husband away from the ceasar salad at Wildflower. But this weekend, Mac's is participating in Hoodstock and donating 10% of it's proceeds to my stepdaughter's school, so we gave it a try. \n\nWe waited for about 15 minutes for a table, but were able to get a snack for our girls and a couple beers while we waited. Toddler meltdown averted. RIght when they seated us, some friends of ours came in, also looking to have dinner. We asked if our table could accommodate three more people and another baby, and since it couldn't they opened a bigger table for us in the back. Pretty cool, if you ask me.\n\nOnce we ordered, it took a while for our food to get to us. In their defense though, I think they were pretty slammed with additional business coming in from Hoodstock next door. I ordered the spicy roast beef, my husband had the a California chicken sandwich (something along those lines) and our girls split some fish and chips (hold the chips, sub a side of fruit). The spicy roast beef is no joke. Now, I'm no stranger to spice. I like my wings HOT, I add extra tabasco to my bloody Mary's, hell, I ate hot sauce straight out of the bottle when I was pregnant. But this sandwich took it overboard. Heat can be a good thing, but not when it's the ONLY THING you can feel in your mouth. I couldn't even taste anything else in the sandwich. Finally, I picked off the jalapenos and it was much more tolerable. My husbands chicken sandwich was great, and the girls fish was mediocre. Not the best, not the worst, but pretty good. I'm not a fan of skinny little french fries. There's just not enough potato for me. \n\nBut, the service was fine, considering it was a packed house with big parties and lots of kids in there. And I have to give them props for donating money to Broadmor. Next time we're in the area and in the mood for some eats and drinks, we'll stop in again.
