Small Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac

About the Small Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac
The Small Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac is Dave's most over-the-top comfort bowl shrunk to a personal size. It starts with a base of Dave's creamy mac & cheese, then loads it up: crispy crinkle-cut fries for crunch, a drizzle of cool ranch, a hit of spicy buffalo sauce, and a scattering of Dave's Bites — bite-sized hot chicken tenders — over the top. The result is a single bowl that layers creamy, crunchy, tangy, and spicy in every forkful. At $6.99 the small is the most affordable way to try the loaded mac craze.
This is an indulgent treat rather than a light side — the combination of mac, cheese, fries, and fried chicken bites makes it rich and filling for its size. The small is the right pick as a hearty snack, a personal lunch, or an add-on alongside a tender or slider order. The buffalo sauce brings most of the heat, and the ranch and creamy cheese keep it balanced and approachable. If the small leaves you wanting more, the Regular and Large sizes scale the same loaded bowl up.
