Mac and Cheese Restaurant Ankeny: A Culinary Sanctuary for Cheese Lovers

Mac and Cheese Restaurant Ankeny isn’t just a place to satisfy cravings; it’s a mac and cheese revolution right here in central Iowa. At The Crafty Mac, we’re passionate about transforming this classic dish into something extraordinary, and our virtual kitchen setup ensures each dish is made to order and ready for pickup or delivery.

Operating as a virtual kitchen allows us to stay focused on creating innovative, comforting, and indulgent mac and cheese dishes while offering the ultimate convenience for our customers. Whether you’re dining solo, gathering with friends, or hosting an event, we’re here to make every meal special.

Our Revolutionary Mac Creations

Our menu goes beyond the basics, blending creativity with the comfort of mac and cheese. We’ve transformed traditional ingredients and cooking techniques to create a unique experience with every bowl.

The Philly Mac, for example, is a fan favorite that features a Monterey Jack and provolone cheese base topped with tender Philly steak, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of the famous “Whiz.” This savory dish brings all the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak into the world of mac and cheese, making it an irresistible choice for any cheese lover.

Another standout is our Chicken Pot Pie Mac. Inspired by Grandma’s timeless recipe, it brings together the wholesome ingredients of a chicken pot pie in the form of creamy mac and cheese.

This dish combines a Monterey Jack base with shredded cheddar, tender grilled chicken, peas, carrots, and a comforting cream of chicken sauce. The freshly baked pie crust squares on top add a flaky texture, making every bite a reminder of home-cooked goodness.

For BBQ enthusiasts, we recommend the BBQ Mac. This hearty dish is a cheddar-based mac and cheese topped with Smokey D’s award-winning chopped pork, fried onion tanglers, and our house-made sassy BBQ sauce.

It’s a must-try for anyone who loves bold, smoky flavors that blend perfectly with the creamy base of mac and cheese. Every bite captures the essence of Smokey D’s renowned BBQ, adding a rich, savory taste to the cheesy goodness.

Pizza lovers will appreciate our Pizza Mac, a dish that marries the flavors of pizza with the comfort of mac and cheese. This bowl starts with a Monterey Jack and shredded mozzarella base, tossed with homemade Italian sausage, pepperoni bites, and Italian seasoning, all drizzled with pizza sauce.

It’s a unique twist that captures the best of both worlds, providing the taste of a classic pizza in each bite of creamy mac and cheese.
