Everything in general was gross- hard, not creamy- and tasteless Overpriced and not worth it- not sure how they are still in business

After watching Lightyear, my aunts, sister, and I came to this restaurant that I've been wanting to try for so long! Service was great, and the food was SO good!! The person (I think she's the owner) is an amazing helper and really kind. If you're craving for anything mac and cheese or any of the food they offer, this is the spot!! I tried the "Don't Be Afraid-O" Chicken Alfredo Mac & Cheese, and their mac & cheese has a great taste!!

Came here for dinner last night and I was in heaven!! My husband got the This lil piggy got pulled and I got the jalapeño business and both were AMAZING! The portions were generous, the food tasted fresh and it was all super cheesy. Overall an awesome experience and I can't wait to come back and try new flavors!

My kids LOVE Elbows, so we are regulars here! We order the kids menu which comes with Mac and Cheese, Oreo cookies, Juicebox, and veggies with Ranch. My husband orders the Ragin Cajun and I order the I love you Elote and the best part: the garlic Parmesan truffle fries or tots A little on the expensive side for fries, but so good. You can order online in advance to go! Super convenient.

I been wanting to try this place for along time. Finally got the chance. Ordered the pull pork which ( which was great!!) the so shellfish lobster Mac and cheese ( didn't have any taste) the ragin Cajun ( no taste either , expecting more) the chip sticks ( good) and the fries which were probably the next best thing to the pull pork. Place is clean and the brea one has outside patio. Service was good. Only giving three stars because nothing stood out at all about the Mac and cheese which if it's the main idea behind the restaurant, it should be better.

Delicious mac n cheese. Their chicken strips are very tasty as well. Wait time for food was 15 minutes so you need time to waste.

So, they've recently extended the menu to include fried proteins (chicken fingers) , biscuits and slaw - and it was dang good, especially the house made slaw, like really good. Mom and pop owned so service was really friendly and I really liked the outdoor seating looking out the main Blvd @ dtbrea. Worth visiting for a quick lunch if you're hanging out in the area. 4 stars

Amazing...all of it is amazing. I have had three different Mac n cheese dishes now and have loved all of them.

Mac and cheese and elote, what a combination of comfort foods. Had Elbows when they first opened and it was sub-par. I'd say they've gotten better, the macaroni was al dente but the cheese still could have been hotter. Good selection of different options including sandwiches, but would probably stick to a place like this just for their Mac and cheese. There's indoor and outdoor seating, right in the middle of Dowtown Brea.

We finished the new Batman movie a few blocks away and we were starving so we walked into this place. Expecting a pepperoni pizza but got charged extra and didn't get a pizza when we showed the online receipt. She said it didn't go through and blamed the receipt not printing. With all the proof she didn't give us our pizza. Scared that they might spit or mess with our food we left disappointed. I think this could've happened cause we look very young and manipulable. It turns out that me tipping them stopped the transaction.
This place was mediocre at best. I was really crazing some Mac and cheese and I had heard about this place in downtown brea. I decided to swing by and give it a chance. The cashier had an "I don't want to be here" kind of vibe. We ordered the I like you Elote based off of its popularity but it was ok at best. There were pieces of dried up and burnt corn in it which made the experience just disgusting. It wasn't only that. I had to use the restroom here and the sink faucet has built up mold at the spout of it. The sink was also filled up with foggy water in it and it did not look clean. The outdoor dining was clean but the bathroom was gross.

Everything was super yummy - me and my family got a build your own vegan mac, some tenders, the pizza mac and the alfredo mac. All super yummy!

Lots of unique options for Mac and cheese! Fun to go in a group of people. Staff is friendly and service is fast!

Found this spot on Yelp. After viewing the pictures I was sold, but once I tasted my meal I was disappointed. I got the Mac n cheese with buffalo wings. Price and food weren't worth it. Service was good though.

Not recommending for delivery. We ordered delivery for dinner & we didn't get 2 of the chipstix we ordered!
