The perfect side to “cool off” after eating hot chicken, Hattie B’s is very proud of their Mac and Cheese.

“It is special because of how we make it.  We make our own cheese sauce, that we put in our Mac and Cheese.  That is what makes the difference.  And then it is topped with more cheese. So you have like cheese sauce and cheese on top –  that’s awesome right there. Who doesn’t like some cheesy Mac and Cheese! It does have some pimentos in it and has a little “kick” to it. ~ Kayla White, Assistant Manager at Hattie B’s
