Editor’s Note: MacShack has permanently closed.

You won’t find the best mac and cheese in Arizona at a fancy restaurant. Instead, it’s hiding at MacShack, a mom-and-pop joint tucked away in an unassuming Glendale shopping center. The menu features everything from traditional mac and cheese to even lobster mac! You can also build your own creation with dozens of cheeses, sauces, and toppings to choose from. Ooey, gooey goodness is waiting for you at MacShack, and you need to experience it as soon as possible.

Some of the best mac and cheese in Arizona is hiding right under our noses at MacShack, located in the Walmart shopping center on West Happy Valley Road in Glendale.

For those who like a bit of heat, you can't go wrong with the "Macibertos."
