The Friar’s Nook<\/a> is one of those places that seems like it’s never open. Every time I walk past there, the walk up window quick service dining location has its doors closed, but every once in a while, typically in the afternoons, you’ll find the elusive windows are open and see that they are serving Guests.\u00a0The restaurant is located in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom and doesn’t have a super large menu. Mostly, it features hot dogs and beverages, but there’s one item that peeked my interest that’s listed. It was the\u00a0Barbecue Chicken Macaroni & Cheese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lines for Friar’s Nook can sometimes be long, due to it being a popular location, both because it’s relatively noticeable and the fact that its limited menu has a large appeal to families with children. (They also offer a plain mac and cheese, increasing its likability among families.)<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Barbecue Chicken Macaroni & Cheese comes with cole slaw (which I did opt out of getting…while I’ll try most things the way they are served here for the blog, cole slaw is one thing I won’t eat) and is topped with panko bread crumbs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One bite of this and I was in love. The mac and cheese is clearly homemade; this isn’t from a box. The noodles were perfectly al dente and it was incredibly cheesy. Picking it up with my fork, the cheese would string, like good cheese should do. The barbecue chicken had a wonderful flavor and paired perfectly with the mac and cheese. It seemed like quality chicken too.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I’m weird about foods mixing, so this dish was a little off putting in my mind, but one bite and I was completely sold. The barbecue chicken mac and cheese was incredible. Oh and it’s large too! I could have EASILY split this. I only ate half of it and I was stuffed.<\/p>\n

The barbecue chicken mac and cheese is a solid winner and I honestly cannot wait to head back to Friar’s Nook to pick up a bowl again.<\/p>\n
