Today I went, pulled up to the speaker at the drive thru and was told give my name for my online order. I said I didn't order online. Apparently there was a change week ago that drive thru is ONLY for online order pickups, and that if I want to order I have to go in. Now I'm not handicapped and could very well park and go in, but there is a reason why I go thru drive thru. Its for the convenience of not having to get out of the car. And since most of the time its a last minute decision to go here, I will not be going to McAlister's Deli EVER AGAIN.

I wouldn't be so upset if they weren't charging premium prices for what I can only call a white bread sandwich. You can't classify their sandwiches as lunch meat sandwiches because they have shrunk the amount of meat down to one paper thin layer making the sandwich 98% bread 1% meat and 1% cheese. As far as the store itself it was like every other hungry hobo I've been in, not clean but not down right disgusting. I have always said that subway was the bottom of the barrel for sub shops but hungry hobo has proved me wrong!

The first time I had it from this location I didn't really care for it but that was a few years ago so I decided to try it again.

And it was basically a lettuce sandwich with no meat or cheese just one slice of each. Pretty disappointing.

The fries are cooked in beef tallow which makes this place my go to for great fries!! The soup you get with your burger meal is always exceptional, and always tastes like they made it from scratch. As a home cook, if it's not scratch, it has fooled even me. All the soups are excellent. They have a burger special during the week for a really great price. And the meat is fresh. The only other dishes I've tried are the ETA Vegetable Bowl, you cannot go wrong if you're in the mood for veggies and rice! 5 Star! Flavors are wonderful and veggies are cooked to perfection, not overcooked. Cudos to the cook! He/she is amazing. This is on my list of recommendations. Next time I'll add a pic or two.

I ordered the veggie fajitas and asked them to add chicken, because I wanted all the veggies (mushroom, onion, and green pepper) with my protein, and none of the fajita dishes had all of those veggies. I pointed to the item on the menu and explained what I wanted and why. I also ordered a cocktail. But... what came was a glob of red with shredded chicken and red sauce on top, which doesn't look like fajitas to me. I asked if this was the fajitas, and she said yes. I thought that maybe it was served differently here, and I figured I'd fine the veggies inside somewhere. I now realize (after looking up the menu online) that what I ate was the veggie enchilada meal, because it was potatoes wrapped in tortillas, and there were no or few veggies involved. My cocktail also didn't come, and we were half way through the meal before the wait staff, who was milling around because there were no other tables inside, made eye contact enough for us to ask for our waitress. She apologized, obviously forgot, and brought the cocktail. The potato enchiladas were tasty, but not what I wanted, so I'm disappointed. The service was clearly disappointing. But the setting and the chips and salsa were good. I'd go back for a drink and to sit outside.

Many servers and the hostess knew our pals and called each other by name! The breakfast menu is generally standard fare. But be prepared!! The portions are beyond generous.

It was OUTSTANDING! Carol and Chet ordered omelets with pancakes. Seems like THE go-to for them. They were not disappointed.
