Fast-food menus are expanding far beyond burgers and fries, and mac and cheese has become one of the most popular comfort-food upgrades. Several national chains are now offering rich, homestyle-style bowls that deliver creamy texture, real-cheese flavor, and made-to-order convenience. Food expert Adam Richman ranks Popeyes, KFC, and Boston Market among the top contenders, praising Popeyes for its consistency, firm noodles, and multi-cheese flavor profile. As fast-food continues to evolve, mac and cheese is quickly becoming a must-have menu staple for customers craving classic comfort on the go.
