Drop what you're doing and run to homeroom!! This spot is an East Bay staple, and has always been my favorite comfort food to order after a tough week. The portions are large, filling, and flavorful. Regardless of what you get, you'll enjoy it guaranteed! My personal favorites are the jalapeño popper mac and the elote mac. The pizza mac is also a seasonal fan favorite. The Oakland location tends to have long wait times, but the Berkeley location is less busy. The service and ambiance is great in both :)

Where to start place was clean staff was welcoming when coming into the restaurant. When I tell you Mac and cheese galore is an understatement we tried the chicken ranch and jalapeño popper Mac it was so delicious

Homeroom was our go-to when my family moved to Oakland and before my dad and I cut back on carbs (sad). It's truly the ultimate comfort food stop. We've gone for dine-in and takeout. Staff are always friendly and attentive. And we always leave with leftovers, which is such a treat the next day :) Our favorites are the Gilroy Garlic mac and Garlicky Bacon mac - and you gotta get them with breadcrumbs. The crunch is great. Looking forward to going back again to try their new flavors.

Homeroom is definitely worth the trip up to Oakland! I hadn't been in years and years and was pleased to see they have a nice outdoor eating area as well. The indoors is still as I remembered it. Even sitting outside, our server was great and came by a lot to make sure we were getting what we needed. I ordered the new kogi short rib mac and it was delicious! I do think I would have enjoyed one of the spicier macs so I'll have to go back. We also got the green beans and brussels sprouts sides, both were delicious. I got a slice of the peanut butter pie because it was my birthday! It was pretty exceptional. There was plenty of street parking and no wait when we went for lunch around 12:30 on a Sunday!

If you like Mac and cheese then this is definitely the place for you. Some of my best friends LOVE and I mean LOVE coming here for dinner, but personally I feel like mac and cheese is more of a side dish than a main dish. I did like the Cesar salad I had which helped to cut the greasy feeling I had from the Mac and cheese. The flavor was good, just hard to get over the same texture for the whole meal (which is why I needed a side salad). The service is great. Servers are well versed with the menu and give good recommendations as well. I also think the decor is super cute and makes for a cute photo if you're into that. Sometimes it can get really busy on a Friday/Saturday night so keep that in mind if you're hungry and want to eat something quick!

Very tasty and interesting. I've never gone to a restaurant that has almost exclusively Mac N Cheese dishes for a menu. Of course the dishes are topped with things like bacon or Korean short rib meat. I liked it although some bread or biscuits might have added some diversity to the macaroni noodles. Thanks. Gene Y.

I was pretty impressed with my experience at Homeroom across the board. The staff was attentive, nice, and helpful. The food was the definition of comfort food, and there are all kinds of unique options! Really really loved the kogi beef mac and cheese. The elote one was delicious too. I'm assuming that you can't really go wrong with anything at this place.
