Hint, use half and half or whipping cream instead of milk and you will have the creamiest mac and cheese EVER!

It IS good! I had a few bites of my daughters' last week.

I love the word succulent.

[CindysGusGus]

I agree...it is amazing!

Absolutely the best mac & cheese. I've got to take my niece there & get her some--the girl loves mac & cheese.

OK I am going to go against the tide and say that I thought it was just OK. Nothing special. I do, however, love their tuna on tomato basil. YUMMY!!

al little off topic, but we LOVEDE the mac n cheese at Jikos.! we thought it was a strange side to go twith the oak grilled filet (which was the BEST filet I ever had), but it was a white cheese, and scrumptious!

I like their mac-n-cheese, but I LOVE their Tomato Soup!!!! It is my favorite!

Very yummy, but pricy for the amount you get, I think. I want a bigger cup!

I love that cream of tomato soup too.

I'd like to try the mac and cheese. Is it available instead of a cup of soup as half of the two-fer combo?

you know I am living in Tokyo right now and honest to goodness I am SO EXCITED about going back and eating some heartstopping laden with butter food that you can't imagine. this thread has only reinforced it. I was dreaming about Chick Fil A the other night, I kid you not.....

this dish I will have to check out. I usually like Noodles and Company..

Yes you can get it in a "you pick two".

Oh my, that sounds bad, but good! My DD is a mac n cheese connoisseur; maybe I should pick some up on the way home for her to try. And mayve snag a bit of the broccoli cheese soup for me!

FYI......
The Panera broc cheese soup they sell at Costco is NOT the same......

You are NO fun.

I haven't been to Panera in a while ... I might have to go today!! DS and I were going to get Chinese food for dinner since DH is traveling but we might have to give Panera a whirl. It USED to be my favorite lunch place in the world but I got away from it.
