I know there is a large group of people in Boston that would disagree with me, but I am not a fan of Silvertone's Mac n Cheese. I had read about this place and their famous Mac n Cheese in a Boston magazine. I then went on the web to read more reviews for the restaurant. It seemed like a great place to eat in which they served heavenly mac.

I ordered the mac and so did the guy at the next table. It arrived in a round casserole dish. It was definitely large enough to be a meal for the average person. The entire top layer was a thin layer of bread crumbs. The crust was not burnt, which I was happy about. I was excited to take my first bite. The bread crumbs gave it a little bit of a crunch. They chose not to go with the traditional elbow macaroni and instead they chose cavatappi. The pasta was hot and cooked perfectly. However, their cheese sauce was not that flavorful. It was thick and coated my mouth. I ate the entire top layer because I liked the crunch. I kept eating hoping the mac would get better, but it did not. The mac seemed to sit in my stomach like a rock. I looked over to the guy eating it at the table next to me and he seemed to be struggling with it as well. I saw him eating more of his date's meal than his own. We both wound up leaving about half of it over.

I really wanted this mac to be good and live up to its reviews, but sadly it did not. I give it two wedges. I forgot to take a picture of it. If you would like to see a picture click here.
