About MAC & CHESS
Where passion for food meets the love of gaming
Our Story
MAC & CHESS, LLC was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: why should people have to choose between a great dining experience and quality entertainment? We believed that food lovers and gamers deserved a space where they could enjoy both simultaneously.
Located in the heart of Miami, Florida, our establishment brings together a full-service restaurant, cozy cafe, craft bar, and an extensive collection of board games and RPG experiences. We've created a welcoming environment where friends gather, families bond, and strangers become gaming partners.
Our name reflects our dual passion: MAC for our signature mac & cheese dishes that our kitchen does brilliantly, and CHESS for the strategic games that bring people together around our tables.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create memorable experiences by combining exceptional dining with engaging entertainment. We strive to be Miami's go-to destination for those seeking a unique blend of culinary excellence and social gaming experiences.
We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone—from seasoned gamers to curious newcomers, from food connoisseurs to casual diners—feels at home.
