KFC’s mac and cheese is served hot with noodles cooked al dente, but the positives stop there. It has a serious lack of cheese flavor, and the sauce feels more gluey than creamy.

Bush’s Chicken mac and cheese is simply made with elbow pasta and cheese sauce. It's not unique, but we think it's fairly tasty, though some critics find it bland and watery.

Boston Market’s mac uses spiral rotini pasta, and though it holds a lot of sauce, it's sometimes cooked to a limp texture. The sauce lacks real cheese flavor and is quite salty.

8. Bojangles
Bojangles’ version of mac and cheese is as classic as it gets, made with elbow pasta and a creamy sauce. The pasta is cooked well and the sauce is rich, creamy, and a little sharp.
