If you were to ask someone what the first food they remember really loving, there's a really good chance they're going to say macaroni & cheese. As a matter of fact, in a survey by YouGovAmerica.com, 98% of all people asked are familiar with Mac & Cheese and a whopping 76% like it.

It doesn't matter how old, either. The numbers  are nearly identical between Millennials, Gen Xer's and Baby Boomers.

It's safe to say... we LOVE mac & cheese.

With well over 100 restaurants in Casper, there are surely many choices for just about anything you want to eat. Everyone has their favorite places to go for burgers, steak, wings, fries and even ranch.

After doing our own survey on mac & cheese, it's hands down where people in the  Casper area are ordering mac n cheese.

The mac & cheese at HQ is so popular, it even won the 'People's Choice' at the 2019 Mac & Cheese Festival.

I'd been to HQ MANY times, just never for the Mac n Cheese, and had to remedy that. Not sure if I just overlooked it, but there is a whole section of the menu dedicated to their mac & cheese. You can get the mac & cheese as a side or as the main course.

When I asked Olivia at HQ why people love their mac & cheese she said:

That’s a hard question, but really it’s because it’s EPIC.

When I eat at a restaurant, usually the 'sides' aren't on my radar when trying to select a place to eat. Now, my eyes have been opened and maybe I'll pay a little more attention to them.
