Sweet Lorraine’s Fabulous Mac n’ Cheez

I had always wanted to try Sweet Lorraine’s food, because I have seen it advertised often, but was never in an area where there was one. My hubby and I happened to be staying at the Ren Cen, (June 3^rd — 4^th, 2016) and I trekked on down to the food court. The first night, (Friday) they had already closed, so I figured that I would go for lunch the next day!
Fast forward to Saturday afternoon, (the 4^th) about 2:30 pm. I got down there in time, (they close at 3, which seems pretty early for a Saturday, especially in a Hotel that large) ordered the mini Lobster mac n cheese, and both of the gentleman behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer! (5 stars for them!)
The food though, I’m sorry to say, was not impressive. As the young man broiled it, I made sure to tell him that he could take his time, as I had no problem waiting for it, so long as it was hot. He seemed to let it broil long enough, but it was still barely warm in the center. The top was hot enough, but the middle, not so much.
Also, there seemed to be virtually NO seasoning, and BARELY any cheese in the actual Mac dish. There was a lovely crust on top, which DID have a little flavor, but the rest did not, and tasted more like a bowl of macaroni with heavy cream… DEFINITELY not a CHEESY flavor, just very BLAND. I was soooo disappointed. I guess I either chose the wrong day, or the wrong outlet, because everyone else seems to rave about their food.
Maybe, I will try them again at some point, but I won’t rush, as this experience did not leave me wanting «more». If it had not been for the two crew members being so nice and polite, I would have only given ONE star.

I ALWAYS eat here when I come to the mall. Every single time my foot touches the floor of the food court. I love the mac and cheese, it’s got a super creamy sharpish sauce and then they add more shredded cheese and then bake it. There are tons of varieties but I stick with the classic mac. If it aint broke…
They also have amazing salads, cookies and regional sodas. The service is sometimes great, sometimes it’s ok, but never terrible. Now if they’d just give you a big cup of water instead of a tiny one when you ask, it would be perfect.

First time coming here yesterday now seems like a very bad decision. I wanted to try something different, so I had the veggie wrap and tomato basil soup. The soup was really tasty but the wrap was very plain and unimpressive. The food wasn’t the problem though, it was the staff. The woman running the first section with the mac and cheese had a very bad attitude. I don’t know if it was because it was Saturday and a very busy time in the food court but she shouted at us, the customers in line, to hurry up and make the line more efficient. She even told others walking by going to other food places that this line is for their place only. Lady, chill the heck out! When it was my turn to order, she gave me a lot of attitude because I was waiting for her to respond and she says in a very nasty tone «I’m waiting.» I will not be coming back not because I didn’t try their mac and cheese but this woman was so sour I’d probably be lucky enough to somehow get her again with her terrible attitude.

I am a HUGE Mac and cheese connoisseur and when this Mac n Cheez opened up at my local mall, I was SO excited to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. You get to choose from the menu what type of Mac you want (I usually go for bacon or classic) and I am always highly satisfied with it. you watch the workers put the noodles along with a cheese sauce into a big bowl and stir it up, they then place it into your chosen size of bowl (I usually get the mini and it is the perfect size for me!) and they then put in the toppings that correspond with your chosen type of Mac. they then put cheese over top and put it in an oven to allow the cheese to cook and get that nice baked mac and cheese taste. This restaurant is moderately priced and the workers are always nice. I’m so happy that this Mac and Cheez opened at my mall, it’s my new favorite go-​to!

My hubby had mini bacon Mac n cheese w half a Caesar salad. I had a mini Truffle mushroom Mac w half a Red white and Bleu salad. The greens were fresh and the condiments plentiful.
The Mac n cheese base was good just by itself and the added bacon on hubby’s and mushrooms on men were added attractions. Creamy, thick cheese sauce, not too heavy and the pasta were spiral macs that held the sauce well. They also put s nice breadcrumb topping wc adds a great crunch. I’d happily pay $ 15 for my Mac in a more upscale setting, so having this for less than $ 6 in a food court was a really pleasant surprise.
I hope to see more branches open up

So as soon as my husband and son and I walked in the door, we were greeted rudely by one of the children that run this place and told sternly that strollers are not allowed in. Well guess what? My sons stroller sits up to the table like a high chair. Also, he isn’t old enough for a regular high chair and will fall out. So you mean to tell me that they have a no babies allowed policy then, right? So I need I leave my nice stroller out in the mall to get stolen and spend my meal struggling to eat while my baby wiggles and grabs everything on the table? No thanks. Screw you buddy!

This was my first time trying mac and cheese in a food court. They had a special Mega Mother’s day mac and cheese, so we decided to get this, in the large size. I think it’s called Mega.
Basically, they add some boiled pasta to a large, used mixing bowl, then they spoon some cheesy sauce on top and give it a toss. Then they add the mixed pasta into an aluminium container and they put the toppings on it. This special came with broccoli, bacon, chicken, and mushrooms. They then add cheese and breadcrumbs and bake it in an oven to melt the cheese.
The cashier, Nene, gave us a little attitude when we paid. I asked for an extra plate and she gave us a tiny one. I then asked for a larger plate or bowl and explained that we were sharing. She said she couldn’t give us one. I must have had a disappointed/​shocked look on my face, because she then said that the aluminium container came on a plate too and we could use that.
Taste-​wise, it was okay. I found that even after baking, it was lukewarm at best. I prefer my food to be hot, especially in the case of mac and cheeses. Their broccoli was quite bland. They gave a lot of bacon, which was good. The cheese and breadcrumbs on top was a nice touch.
I found the prices quite reasonable as I shared this with 1 other person, so for $ 8, it’s not bad. We were full after.
I might get it again if I were at this food court. The Taco Bell buy one get one box deal in the coupon passport seems like a better use of my money, though, so I might get that. If I were at another food court, I might want to try something else, though. I was not too happy about the warmness of the macaroni. The verdict: it’s just okay.

When it comes to food court food, it really doesn’t get much better! I like the bacon and cheddar and even add broccoli and mushrooms, but they have something for any mac and cheese fan. I’ve never had their wraps, but the soup was tasty too. Love it!

I just left this place less than 5 minutes ago. The Mac was delicious and their selections were great. I had good service and I paid 50 cents for a free refill on my pop. When I went back up, there was a new cashier. Not only did she walk away a few times, but she looked me right in the eye and blatantly ignored me. She then asked if someone behind me had ordered yet and proceeded to cash her out. When I so rudely interrupted her she copped a sweet little attitude. The food gets more than three stars but I’m more concerned with the way I felt after I left. Granted, this is a food court.

This little establishment is pretty good! Mac & cheese anyway you like it and they also have soup, salad, wraps and cookies. They had two sizes to choose from on the mac & cheese and plenty of toppings to add to your mac! I had bacon & cheddar, so yummy!

SO GOOD!!! Best food in the food court! Can’t wait to go back and get more.
Highly recommend.

Every time I enter a mall I’m instantly hungry. I blame my mother because as a kid if we had to go the mall, we always ate lunch, stopped for ice cream at Sanders counter or had an orange Julius. Such is still the case only these days there are food courts and most those food courts have really boring school lunch food. So there I was at Great Lakes Crossing mall, orange Julius in hand passing through the food court when what do I see but the familiar name of Sweet Lorraine’s!
Sweet Lorraine’s Kitchen is a mac n’ cheese shop. If that’s not comfort food I don’t know what is. They have some pre-​configured yummy combinations like cheese burger, bacon and swiss and extreme veggie or you can make your own combo. The stir in your selection them pop it under the broiler for that crispy edge goodness. It’s just great yumminess and far in a way better than your typical food court fair. It might even to worth another trip to the mall and I’m not a shopper.
