Say it with us: Mac ‘N Cheese is not just for kids. We, the adults, can enjoy scrumptious gourmet recipes without guilt because we have paid our dues by chowing down one too many plain mac and cheese from boxes. For sophisticated versions of this classic American meal, let’s explore a few Oklahoma restaurants raising the profile of Mac ‘N Cheese.

Republic Gastropub, located in Classen Boulevard, lists its Mac ‘N Cheese as a side action, but don’t be fooled. The Elbow Mac & Cheese with Bacon & Andouille is so good and hearty that it takes the center stage of most orders.

Following tradition, many returning customers typically pair this dish with Republic Gastropub’s Marshall Brewing Company Sundown Wheat—a delicious beer with hints of dried orange peels and coriander.
