The Fix

Awesome service and awesome Mac n cheese!!! My boyfriend got their special, a grilled cheese with pickles, bacon, and potato chips. Despite that sounding weird, it was amazing. This place has a great vibe with fast, fresh, and delicious food.

Our group had the hangover, chicken bacon ranch, loaded baked potato and cattlemen. All were outstanding. The service was incredible and they helped us newbies through the ordering process. The salsa has great flavor.

I found this place because I saw their catering truck on the road and was alerted to their existence. They’re on an alley off of university in the university area. It’s really a gem. inventive, high quality, and large portions for a very reasonable price. I think $ 7 – 8 per portion which are very large. Run by an innovative hard working husband and wife, you’ll find students getting their fix if you walk in and you can too. This is what I call an inexpensive indulgence and it’s just the right comfort food if you’re in the need.

Visited on a Saturday at dinnertime. There was no line to order at the counter, and there were plenty of tables available. The service was good and fast. We didn’t wait long for our food, and the cashier was very friendly.
I have to say I was a little disappointed. I ordered the taco mac and an iced tea. It was a bit pricey, in my opinion, but it was plenty to eat, and I didn’t finish my mac. They do provide foil and bags for you to wrap up your leftovers. I do like spicy food, but it was a little too much heat for me. They use fresh jalapenos! There was no avocado on my mac, despite it being in the menu description. I thought the actual cheese sauce was bland and didn’t have much cheesy flavor, so it kinda needed all the extra stuff in it. It was okay, but there are a lot of great, casual places on University, so I probably wouldn’t return.

This place is yummy, especially if you are looking for some good comfort food. Try the Bacon Bacon. Tons of bacon in every bite!

I am a huge mac n cheese fan and this is the place! Their mac n cheese is very very cheesy but might be a bit salty for some people. Don’t afraid to give it a try!

Very good place with a good variety of Mac n cheese and Alfredo. Was very pleased with the service and the food. It’s kind of hidden by other stores. But it’s a must have. The price is pretty cheap as well so that’s good if you are on a budget.

Heavenly. Delicious. The cheesiness (and Barq’s red cream soda among the fountain drinks) brought me right back to my happy childhood in Wisconsin and I will be coming back here whenever I need some seriously delicious comfort food. Whoever designed that menu is a genius and I can’t wait to try the other stuff out.

Came in for lunch and had a hard time choosing from the menu. Lots of things sounded good but I went with the cabbie which consisted of macaroni, Alfredo sauce, chicken and bacon! How could you go wrong right?! Wrong. I was disappointed with the flavor of this choice. Overall the noodles were cooked fine and the bacon was delish but there was just something lacking from this. If I do happen to return I will probably go with something else not Alfredo related. Not a good first experience but I would give them another chance. Portion sizes are huge by the way so if you’re not super hungry consider sharing.

I needed a cheap but tasty lunch. The Fix was perfect.
The worst part of my visit was deciding what to get. I had no idea how many ways mac and cheese could be made! I settled on the chili mac which was the right balance of cheese sauce and chili. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not too soggy.
The owner was extremely friendly without being overbearing, and kept checking to see if everyone was happy with their food, even during a busy lunch rush.
If you are a mac and cheese fan, this is your home in Arizona. Bubba sez git some!

I didn’t particularly like it due to how much salt was in my pasta bowl. (I like MUCH LESS salt in my food than most people) But the guy at the front noticed I wasn’t eating much of the food and asked if I wanted to try something else free of charge. Any time a company cares enough about satisfying its customers in this manner, you have my respect and my five stars.

Sandwich lettuce was old and gross. The tall fat guy that works there had to go smoke outside during business hours which is pretty disgusting considering he works in the back.
Edit: employees smoking around customer’s eating, especially even an employee that works in the back, should be refrained from because it makes a little sense.
Edit 2: Please see review below about people warning a patron not to eat there because of getting sick. And yes, I did say big fat guy.
Blah blah blah, courage! Give me a break with that bs

I’m going to preface my less-​than-​stellar review of The Fix by admitting I spent well over an hour before heading there on Unilocal hoping to find somewhere to have a Croque Monsieur. When I struck out on that, I hit the «comfort food» link on Unilocal and The Fix was one of the top results. After looking over their menu and photos from fellow Unilocalers, I thought I might have found cheesy nirvana. Alas, I was so disappointed in the Bacon Bacon Mac & Cheese that I threw most of it away. It was really just kind of flavorless, and I don’t understand why. It had tons of bacon, but I honestly wasn’t picking up a bacon flavor. Worse, I wasn’t tasting the cheese! And finally, the macaroni itself was way overcooked.
The three stars I am awarding are for the service and the Cuban sandwich. The guy who took my order was super helpful when I told him it was my first visit. When I mentioned I had come for the mac & cheese but was now torn because of a new sandwich offering (a Cuban), he suggested I get a combo. I’m so glad I did, even though the Cuban wasn’t really a Cuban (the pork really shouldn’t have BBQ sauce and it threw the whole thing off), but it was flavorful and perfectly toasted on lovely bread. So I may come back for another sandwich sometime, but I’ll give the mac & cheese a wide berth.

This is the real deal. All options are Mac and cheese, which we love. You can really personalize your own Mac and cheese bowl to your likings. It could be a little creamier but still very delicious. I had the white Mac and cheese with jalapeños and it was a perfect combination. The service was great and so helpful.

This brings me back to my college years and I was craving Mac n Cheese. Big Jesse was patient and gave me time to decide what I wanted. I decided to make my own — cheddar, broccoli, bell pepper with lobster. I call it Sea to Farm. I’ll definitely be back.

Honestly? Mediocre. It took way too long for the food to come out– and when it did? I find it eh.
I got the half BLT sandwich with the All American Mac n cheese, and here’s what I though. BLT: bacon was over cooked– almost burned and the bread a tad dry. The Mac? It’s okay. There is way too much black pepper in it so I’m having a hard time tasting the cheese. The cheese! That’s the main ingredient and I can barely taste it. At this point it’s just empty calories and not really worth it.
I think I’d give it another chance, just order something different.

Don’t come to The Fix unless you’re planning on ordering mac and cheese. I made the mistake of ordering some kind of sandwich and it was mediocre beyond belief. So mediocre that I can’t even remember which sandwich it was.
But the mac and cheese that I stole from my guy and my daughter (shameless) was the real deal. Homey. Gooey. Comforting. Delicious. Everything I wanted a mac and cheese to be.
The décor is cute and the staff is friendly. The shop is a little off the main road so you won’t see the entrance from the street. Trust your map app, park where you can, and make the short walk. It will be so worth it once you’re chowing down.

Had some good olé’ hearty Mac n Chz while we were here last Friday!
I got the Bacon, Bacon and my sis got the Alfredo Mac n Chz — they were just so yummy, you can upgrade to «Major» for $ 4 more I believe, but the normal serving size is just right so I wouldn’t upgrade unless you’re stark raving mad hungry! (Or sharing for 2 lol!)
Their Mac n Chz is very creamy, the top they add more cheese, broil it to melt and crisp up some, and the combination of it all just makes my mouth water while thinking about it! While waiting for our food their walls are lined with meme photo canvases, all talking about Mac n Chz and the many things you can eat with it, they were fun to read!
I would not mind coming back here when I’m in Tucson again :)

Where was this place when I was a student at the University? There are a lot of new food options next to the campus since my days, and if The Fix is any indication, it’s a good time to be a student. Their extensive menu highlights macaroni and cheese with all imaginable mix-​ins, and while I’m sure it had other items as well, I didn’t make it past the pasta.
I ordered the 3 Little Pigs — mac and cheese with bacon, bratwurst, and pulled pork. The portion that arrived was huge, and my weeks-​long craving for creamy macaroni and cheese finally came to an end. It was A Mountain of perfect noodles, delicious cheddar, and limitless pork three ways. I didn’t care as much for the pulled pork in there, although it certainly wasn’t bad. It made the whole dish a little bit sweet, and I enjoyed that it didn’t taste as salty as I expected with bacon and pulled pork.
My experience in the restaurant was great: the walls were brightly colored, with unusual art including tilted mirrors and mac&cheese Internet memes. This décor combined with the macaroni and cheese theme made the whole place feel super-​modern. Its setting next to a college campus seems fitting, although this also becomes its primary flaw for the rest of us: Parking in this area is limited, and it isn’t cheap. The street has meter spaces that are frequently full, and the adjacent lot costs $ 5 to park.
Still, the food was excellent. Next time I’m in the area, I would be happy to stop in and try another absurdist creation. The best part is that for your $ 7 to $ 10, you get enough for two meals. And I think everybody knows how good pasta tastes out of the microwave the next day!

You say you have had the best Mac and cheese but if you haven’t tried it here, then you haven’t!
They are seriously delicious! Tried the chili Mac and it was heaven Ina bowl with a perfectly golden melty sauce yum!
You only need one serving, it may seem like it’s not much but I could barely finish mine.
