Whether you’re a purist or looking for a flavor explosion, we’ve got you covered:

• The Classic: Our signature blend—smooth, creamy, and golden.

• The BBQ Loaded: Topped with slow-smoked pulled pork, bacon, fried onions and a drizzle of tangy BBQ sauce.

Fair Tip: Nothing pairs better with live music and carnival lights than a warm bowl of Mac. Grab the kids, grab a napkin, and come see us in the food truck alley! 🧀🧀🧀

We’ve received several questions about pricing, entertainment, and event hours, so we’re sharing this information and pinning it to the top of our page for easy reference!

This fair is a fundraiser for the Roane County United Way. Proceeds help support local nonprofit agencies that serve some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Words can’t describe the loss of you, my big brother, best friend, and favorite protector.

Unfortunately the Mac shack will have to cancel everything this week due to a loss in the family. We appreciate all your support during this difficult time for my family. Know we love you all and can’t wait to be slinging cheese at the Strawberry Festival in Crossville April 18th!
