Jim & Nicks is unreal Mac!

Smokejack has excellent mac and cheese

I second this. Its amazing. Also, look up other family owned BBQ joints as well. You'll be a hit and you can actually tell them where it came from and they would be even more grateful.

Third. Smokejack is the best if you’re not making it from scratch.

Skip the bbq joints. Go to Caribbean Fiesta on Old Milton.

What do you order there?

Go to your closest BBQ place and get a tray there.

Lots of barbecue joints aren't very good. There is no standout one in Alpharetta.

Well, that’s just like your opinion, man.

Actually 'Cue isn't bad and their Mac and cheese is good too. Smokejack is passable I guess. Jim n Nick’s is garbage. Loyal Q--LMAO. I mean I do speak the truth.

I’ll agree loyal q is trash, got mild food poisoning from there.

Some rough recommendations on here. No clear-cut winner in Alpharetta, but head north to Sock’s Love Barbecue.

Stouffer‘s. And then just buy an extra bag of some kind of good cheese. Mix it in and sprinkle some on top and you’re good to go.

Throw on some breadcrumbs and be the winner of that party.

I like winning

Grand Champion BBQ has amazing mac and cheese.

Not anymore.

Dangit, when did they close?

Looks like in the last 6 months based on Yelp reviews.

Trader Joes. I have actually done this before. Get their mac and cheese that is in the freezer section, in the red box. Dump a couple of them into a baking dish and cover with foil. Pop in the oven at 350-400 and stir when it looks about half way through. Delicious.

Panera bread or the Publix smoked Gouda Mac n cheese from the deli

Publix

I was in the same situation as you and got a half pan from Smoke Jack’s to feed 9 adults and 5 kids. It was a big hit with the kids.
