OMG. I love this business. I have been waiting for it to open. Today I had an opportunity to be the first customer when it opened for the day. I got a brisket wrap. It is the best brisket I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The sweet potato fries were also great. The staff were friendly and exceptional. The atmosphere was pleasing and I noticed the red chairs were all turned to welcome guests as you enter. Well Done.

Really Excellent Pulled Pork! For years, 5 friends and I have been meeting every month or two to eat BBQ at every BBQ place we can find in the Triangle. Just tried Mac’s and their pulled pork ranks near the top on my list, and there’s a Lot of competition. There were 5 of us this time and we all agreed, and will return when our absent friend can go. Fantastic, delicious, balanced natural smoke and other flavors. So good I was hesitant to put any sauce on it, and I typically use a lot of sauce. The brisket was fine, but the pork was SO much better and worth a trip back. Collards and fried okra were very good. I didn’t try anything else. The large pork dinner was a ton of food and I was really stuffed and did not eat the toast. If I go with my wife we’ll likely split it or get two to have nice leftovers. Nice staff and atmosphere.

Came in for burger night and with 2 burgers you wouldn’t think too much. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The burger was amazing. I ordered a side of Mac and let me tell you, it was outstanding. The server was super sweet, Megan I believe was her name. I’ve been here before and it was a kinda weird vibe. Today was a different experience. Keep doing what you guys are doing.

Mac’s Speed Shop exceeded my expectations—great food and ambiance—but one thing truly sets Mac’s apart: the exceptional service from our amazing waitress, Maura. I would go on record to say that Maura is the best waitress I’ve ever had. She is precise, polite, and incredibly funny. During our visit, there was a disgruntled, disrespectful customer, and Maura handled the situation with grace and poise, resolving the issue quickly and professionally. Maura sets a new standard at Mac’s, and I sincerely hope she is recognized and compensated accordingly. Maura, you made my day, elevated my experience, and turned Mac’s into a new staple in my life!
