Foods always good. Always crowded is only bad thing but it's because everyone loves it lol. And cheap drinks. Hometown fave.

This place is all about the vibe. It's clearly a locals favorite. Like cheers, where everybody knows your name! It's literally a house that they've converted into a restaurant. Cash only. There's an ATM located in the back, $2.50 fee. Food & drinks are well priced. Bread is delicious. Soup is okay. Salad is salad . Ordered the ribeye and the prime rib. Ribeye was cooked just right and seared to perfection. Thin cut. Prime rib cut is thicker if you get the extra cut. Wish they'd leave off the pasta but now to forego it if we're ever back. Veggies are just steamed. Food needed salt but once you added it, was great.

From the simple menu to the amazing prices at the bar to the food and to the people who serve you. Family friendly . This place is really fun, loud, and a super bargain. The food never disappoints, and neither will your check at the end of dinner.

Man this place is cool. So old. So basic. So affordable. They don't take reservations, but that is fine. Showing up and waiting shows you are serious. Not many choices, but it has what I LIKE.

Funky old place with a throwback menu and cheap drinks. The soup alone was worth the visit. Be prepared for a wait - it's not huge inside and it's popular. On a Saturday we were there 15 minutes after opening and got the last table.

I love this place, I love the ownership, I love the food, I could go on and on. Keep doing what you have been doing for the last 40+ years. When my wife asks where I want to go for my birthday dinner, it is always Mac's old house. See you Thursday! YUM!

This place was nice as an experience, but I probably won't be back any time soon. The food was mostly mediocre and the utensils weren't clean. The bread tasted like hamburger bread. The salad came with vinaigrette. The best part of the meal was definitely the salmon. It was cooked to perfection, flakey and not dry. The service was good. It was t exactly clear when we first walked in where to wait, since there was no server but someone pointed us to a server, who seated us.

This place makes Beverly hill Billy's look good. It's a old shack stuffed to the grim w tables I guess there's 2 sides. It's as hill Billy and rude to black people as I've seen. I had been invited by a couple that are my friends and we had the kid w us. They serve 3 items ribeye, chicken,? The rib eyes look like thin fake plastic rib eye. I ordered the chicken can't go wrong right! I ate half of the breast, it was greasy as hell and had some kind of breading. The cost isn't bad but the rib eye is like 1 1/2 inches thick I thought? These ribbeyes were nasty looking. A black gentleman went to the bar to order a alcohol beverage u could tell he was old enough he had Grey in his beard,well kelp. The bar tender would not serve him ask for id the gentleman didn't have id. I understand the laws. But bet if it was a white gentleman he would already b sitting back at his table w drink in hand.

Here we go!! Over all the years Mac's has never compromise the quality or integrity of their food until it took new ownership, big mistake new owner! You shouldn't change anything! If you need to increase the price a little bit that's understandable but when you start serving half loaves of bread instead of whole loaves of bread that's looking pretty cheap and rubs us long time customers wrong, I mean what's to come next?? Don't do it!!
Great food for family at a very reasonable price. Very small, long wait unless you get there right when they open. Food to go is also an option!

For the money you pay not bad. You get soup and salad and your main entree. Oh and can't forget the bread so yummy!

One of my favorite places in the Bay Area. The vibe, the simplicity of the menu and how delicious every single thing is. Friendly staff and super cheap food and drinks, ive been coming here for almost 10 years now and its exactly the same every single time.
