Bears BBQ, which has locations in New Haven & Hartford. They offer the Mac Attack which is there mac and cheese piled high with your choice of BBQed meat. They also have their BEAR Attack which is cornbread, mac and cheese, and your pick of meat. So, two really great mac and cheese sides from Bears BBQ.
There is also J Roo’s in North Haven, which offers Chili Mac, so their house made mac and cheese mixed with their spicy chili. Perfect for a cold winter night. They also offer their mac and cheese as an entrée with ham or bacon, buffalo chicken, or picked lobster meat.
There’s a spot in New Haven called Jordan’s Hot Dogs & Mac, which serves a great Hummel’s hot dog with mac and cheese. They also offer a bunch of add-ons to your hot dog if you really want to pile it all on.
