Whether you're craving a hearty chili dog, a loaded bacon chili cheese dog “with the works,” or a perfectly grilled chicken mac and cheese, Mr. Mac's delivers straightforward, satisfying dishes that hit the right notes every time.

The menu shines brightest with its iconic hot dogs—the chili dog, in particular, has received high praise for defining what a great hot dog should be.

This is my new spot. The prices are reasonable the food is fantastic and they're fast. I'm also picky and they don't give me a hard time about my breakfast sandwich the bread must be grilled no egg one piece of cheese and don't cut my sandwich. My Patty Melt can be cut and I love it greasy cheesy goodness. They know my order before I get to the counter. Hats off for being so patient with me. Mr. MACS is a must

Best hangover fixer capital in the world! Mr. Macs serves up the best of everything. Who doesn't love a topper?!?! Chicken before the egg. Chili cheese dogs for days! Homemade onion rings. Philly chicken. Killer pastrami! Ohhhh and the strawberry milkshakes! Macs also gives back to our community hosting and participating in so many local charity events. If you haven't been get there! You'll be a lifer like me!

Ordered a grilled cheese, tomato, and bacon with a side of fries. The sandwich was grilled to perfection, and the fries had a nice crunch to them. Next time I'm in this part of CT, I'll drop in to dine here again.

Cash only! Of course, I didn't know that when I ordered and had no cash but they let me order and come back for my food. My egg and cheese was on a Portuguese roll with a hash brown, and it was very good. It's worth a trip if your near by.

Great place!! Great food and great service, still doing it the old school way. Excellent, classic burger and hot dog spot. Might be the tastiest burger around, classic Hummel hot dogs are delicious, the chili is delicious and brings proper heat, fries and rings are also very good. Great family establishment, run by family and feeding your family. They've been around a long time and they know what they are doing, I hope they stay around for many years

Great local dinning place for breakfast. Alot of space to dine in about eat or you can take out. They sell breakfast and lunch and you can order most things at any time of the day. Great parking in the front. This establishment ONLY takes cash. If you tried Marrit Canteen in Bridgeport, you should definitely try this place.
