So if you have ever spent any time at all in Muncie then more than likely you have heard of Mac’s. Mac’s has 3 Muncie locations...each in a building that used to be something else…like the location that we visited was an old Rax, so this is no chain restaurant. Inside is very basic not much going on but maybe a few old timers in the corner drinking coffee and reminiscing about old times. On this visit we choose to drive thru, since it was breakfast time and we were on break from work.
The Menu is very basic but not normal flair for a fast food joint. You can get anything from Chicken Fried steak to Grilled Cheese to Beef Manhattan to a western omelet. Since it was 9 am it was not a good time to order the Grilled cheese which is a favorite of ours. What we did order were things that you can’t get at a McDonald’s. I, Laura, chose to go with the Veggie Omelet, which is of course egg, green peppers, onions and lots of melting cheese. The omelet combo comes with hash rounds and a biscuit. The Omelet is huge as you can see by the picture. It is filled with a lot of veggies and cheese. The biscuits are made fresh and are moist yummy goodness. The hash rounds are your basic bag hash round but are perfectly cooked to have that nice crunchiness.
Also on the agenda were the French toast sticks. I, Claire, happen to be something of a French toast fiend, and enjoy it in all of its forms. The sticks come 5 to an order and are delightful pieces of crispy carbness. They come with syrup for dipping which is good, but could be better if it was more maple-y. In addition I enjoyed the Egg and cheese biscuit. As you can see, Mac's biscuits are square, a bit on the dense side, unlike their fluffier counterparts found at other fast food stops. This texture enables them to stay warm longer and crumble less, definite plus's in my book. The egg is super thin and fresh and they do not have a problem with it not fitting completely on the biscuit. It looked it may have been able to fly but I saw no problem with this. Overall, a lot of yum for a little coin.
Taste: If we have to compare it to the Chain fast food restaurants then 8/10. The freshness of the food is a 10. You can’t get the biscuits this fresh at other chains, plus the eggs are fresh and light as well as the veggies.
Value: 10/10. My (Laura) omelet combo was $3.99; I added a medium drink, so my total with tax was $5.92, a great value for the large amount I received. For my counterpart, she had the French toast sticks and Egg and Cheese Biscuit for $3.87 with tax. YOU CAN’T BEAT THAT!!
Randomness: 10/10. This is a unique place, from the people that work there to its clientele, I mean where else can you go and have someone serve you that has summer teeth and piercings but it doesn’t matter because the food is great and so is the service!
