Planet Mac

I went to the restaurant for lunch a week ago. I walked in and the tables hadn’t been set up. There was one guy in the back and when i asked if they were open he said no because there was no one there to run the cash register! And he didnt know if anyone would be coming to do it!
Buh bye!

So. I like their food. Its fine. Gourmet Mac and cheese. Not so much but the food is pretty decent. Specially when you don’t want to cook or have no time. But twice they got my drink orders wrong. Not a hard order either. 3 regular Snapple peach iced teas. First order they sent 3 diet regular snapples, then the 2^nd time they sent 3 diet Snapple peach iced teas. And when I called to make them aware the first time they said the next time I order they will make sure my drinks are correct and they’d do it free of charge. But the drinks still came wrong. And nope no reimbursement.

I went back with my boyfriend to this place and we ordered the buffalo chicken mac and cheese and this time it was a hit! We also ordered my favorite Cajun fries and it was just as yummy as the first time. Given my great experience the second time I’m changing my review from 3stars to 4stars. I guess the type of Mac & cheese you pick determines weather or not you’ll enjoy this place.
I was super excited to try this place because I LOVE mac & cheese. However, it isn’t all it seems to be. The staff is nice. Other than that the Mac & chessss was okay. I had the lobster Mac & Cheese and would give it 3 stars. It didn’t have any flavor at all. The lobster weren’t real lobsters it taste like canned chicken chunks. I had to add salt and black pepper to help the taste. I also order the seasoned Cajun French fries I think it’s called and omg those were a 5 out of 5. The best fries I’ve ever had. Well seasoned and perfectly made. If I just ordered the fries alone I would give this place a 5. But since it’s a Mac & cheese place it gets a 3 until they season their food well. I’ll definitely be back for those fries.

Pretty hard pass on this one, unfortunately. Got delivery from Planet Mac today and was impressed by the speedy delivery, so that’s a great foot forward. The bad, however was pretty much everything to do with the food. I love the idea of gourmet mac and cheese, but this place drops the ball on almost every level.
I ordered the buffalo chicken mac, which was beyond overcooked, mushy and bland on the pasta front. Toppings weren’t much better — skimpy on the cheese, (it’s mac and cheese… get it together!) and only tiny bits of chicken. What was there was also bland and kind of discolored to the point that it wasn’t immediately recognizable as chicken at all.
Hoboken is a total food mecca in an area full of them between Manhattan and jersey city. The standards around here are just too high. I actually feel gross having eaten food from this place. Never again
EDIT: right after posting this, the mac and cheese roiling in my stomach decided to come out. So, bad AND made me throw up, just in case you needed the bullet points, or have low standards and were planning to eat bad food anyway. If I wanted to hurl on a Saturday night I’d have started doing shots hours ago.

Ok your bitch ass delivery driver took two hours to deliver to jersey city which I was willing to overlook because sometimes it gets hectic but then when he finally got there I gave him a 20 for a 17 dollar order and he didn’t give me back change– he literally snatched the twenty and left before I even had time to say anything. He should not be so bold as to ASSUME that he’s entitled to a tip– especially when he took so damn long. Fix this. The lack of etiquette seriously pissed me off

First experience was very mediocre. We ordered the lobster mac which was described by my partner as «decent». I had the classic Mac and cheese with buttermilk chicken and broccoli added. That’s where my first complaint comes in. The chicken was basically tiny unidentifiable chunks not even large enough to determine by texture if the chicken was real or not. I hear buttermilk chicken and I expect crispy, golden fried tender chunks of white meat. Not suspicious grey meat the size of a pea. All and all it is edible but not something I would go out of my way for ever again.
UPDATE: I more thoroughly examined the bits of «chicken» and they’re basically that weird gray matter found in like, microwave pot pies and Burger King nuggets. Terrible texture and actual white meat nowhere in site.
Very very disappointing and would expect more from Hoboken which is supposed to at LEAST be good for food.

The staff was inattentive despite an empty restaurant, they sent someone to Panera for more mac and cheese and the food was lukewarm when it arrived at our table. Their menu looked amazing, but the experience was not. A very disappointing visit.

Not the best I’ve had, but still solid. My boyfriend picked me up the Cordon Bleu Mac & Cheese and I couldn’t wait to give it a try. I love love love mac and this was my first American meal back from my 2 week Italy trip. I was ready. I took a bite and it was good, not great, but good. I think it lacked a little in flavor, but I liked how gooey and melted the cheese was. I’m also a huge fan of bread crumbs on top so that was another plus. Overall, I might come back and try another flavor, but the Cordon Bleu was only a 3 star dish.

Pretty mediocre mac and cheese, and pretty slow service to boot.
We stopped by on a Friday evening to pick up some mac and cheese for dinner. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, which was fairly devoid of lobster and was overall fairly bland in flavor. It also took quite a while for us to get our food, which I wouldn’t have expected for a very easily prepared dish. I’d try to find mac and cheese elsewhere if I had a craving, rather than order again from here.

The mac n cheese was okay nothing special. My order came out a little cold but the flavor wasn’t bad. I probably wouldn’t go back

I bought my boyfriend a Groupon for Planet Mac for his birthday. It was for two Jupiter sized orders of Mac and any two drinks.
We ordered the Buffalo Chicken and Margherita.
AMAZING! Portions were incredibly filling (we got two and didn’t finish them). The food was delicious! We got two Snapple’s and we just had to pay tax because the Groupon didn’t cover that. Overall, it was a great Groupon deal, a fun experience to go to, and a filing meal (with left overs for a yummy snack!).
Definitely coming back for more!

Went to Planet Mac and was not disappointed. I had the Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese and my Friend had the Cordon Bleu but we’re really tasty. The place was very relaxed and the staff was awesome with helping me pick my dish. It was so worth the trip to Hoboken!

Easy delivery through EAT24 to my office. Had the cauliflower, fontina and chèvre and broccoli Mac and cheese. There was a big blob of delicious cheesiness in the center and loads of veggies! I don’t care for the bread crumbs on top and the elbows were slightly overlooked.
The salad was less than stellar with wilting greens, unripe tomatoes, large strips of red onion and the wrong dressing delivered!
The prices are good on the wallet.

Food is good. I really liked the BBQ boneless wings and Cordon Bleu Mac. It’s exactly what I expected.

I thought it was exactly what anyone would expect. Good hearty Mac and Cheese.
Tried 4 kinds and liked the Buffalo the best: a little spicy kick.
My kid liked the Cheeseburger type.
Oh and they had a deal on Groupon.

Loved this place! I order the buffalo Mac n cheese and it was sooooo delicious.
Perfect place to go if you have a couple drinks in you and are looking to grab something to eat. I wonder how I would feel about the place without the drinks first lol but it was absolutely delicious.
This place made mac n cheese exactly the way I love it. Not too thick not too creamy and sprinkled with bread crumbs on top for the slight crunch.
I wish I knew about the 10% off check in offer but I didn’t even look at Unilocal before I went there. But definitely for next time going to use it.
In Hoboken looking to grab a quick bite, go here!

You know hoboken parking always sucks in the mid day but came here to try there mac & cheeses for take out so i could have dinner for when i get home… thanks to Unilocal i found this gem of a place to fill my mac & cheese craving! Lol… so long story short plenty of seating from tables to booths… i went with a venus buffalo chicken and venus margarita mac & cheese (venus being the small portion)…pretttttty damn good if you ask me, pretty damn good! Cost me about $ 15.79 for both… so worth it!

We visited tonight and were excited after looking at the menu.
We got the vodka cream Mac and cheese and the Margarita Mac and cheese.
Nothing had any flavor! It was really surprising cause it looked super delicious. Both Mac and cheese dishes tasted identical. We added some salt, pepper, hot sauce and there was no flavor at all. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
Service was also very poor. Our food took over 15 minutes to be ready and the staff is surly and anti-​social. They acted like it was like swallowing a horse-​pill having us there. We were the only customers in entire restaurant.
The idea the of a Mac and cheese spot is great but the food is seriously lacking flavor! They also need to hire more friendly people!

I am seriously a FAN of this place. The food is freakin’ Awesome! I only wished they delivered to NYC! I can’t stand Hoboken… Don’t ask me why… maybe it’s all those Hipster wannabes and the pretentious douche attitudes… Anyway…I’d stop by Hoboken anytime to stop at this place… That is how much I like this Planet Mac.
I love the Buffalo Mac-​n-​Cheese! You should stop by and check it out! Oh! and they have these Mac-​n-​Cheese balls. Kinda like a prosciutto ball… They’re freakin’ delicious! Get some!

All I have to say is.meh.
There’s nothing more disappointing then when you wait to try something and then when you finally have it, you’re just.unimpressed.
I can’t say the mac and cheese was bad but it was nothing to write home about.
