About the restaurant

Mac’s idea is that every moment matters from the seed to the plate. We believe that it’s important to know where your food comes from and to build a relationship with your soil, its bounty, and the village that cares for it. All the while questioning what southern food means.

Mac's features a locally sourced menu of shareable plates, a curated wine list for each menu, along with a seasonal cocktail menu. Located inside Flora De Mel.

Great place to have sushi! Love the vibe inside with the art and design. Our waitress was ok, did not seem to be on it. Everything else was great.

About the restaurant

Great barbecue and chef pride go hand-in-hand. And we have both. Our southern-inspired menu has the classic recipes that you crave, and the perfect twist on traditional dishes that are sure to satisfy. Taste our Bourbon Glazed Salmon and Bacon Wrapped Smoked Meatloaf. Or check out our signature Louisiana dishes including Jambalaya or Shrimp and Grits. Our meats are smoked in our Ole Hickory Pit Smoker and everything in between is made in our scratch kitchen. Our rubs and sauces are all our own recipe. Incredible smoked meats and great bourbons are what we're made of.
