$8.99 • Why settle for a slice of American cheese on your hamburger when you can have macaroni and cheese? That is the idea behind one of the most popular dishes at The Royal. Made with ground chuck and topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onions, roasted garlic aioli, house-made cheese sauce, salted pretzel bun and the coup de grace: Parmesan-crusted mac and cheese made with eight cheeses. Add a basket of French fries and a beer, and you are all set for a night of rock 'n' roll and heartburn.

The Royal • 4760 S. 900 East, Murray; 801-590-9940. Open Wednesday through Sunday at 5 p.m.
