Stopped here for a quick dinner. The staff confirmed they have GF bread. I indicated that I have a gluten allergy and asked if the kitchen can change gloves. I ordered the choose 2 - the BLTA (no bacon) and a cheese spud. Unfortunately, they were out of spuds so I switched to a house salad with no croutons. All their dressings are GF so I opted for the thousand island. My husband ordered the pecan berry salad and he said it was really good. The staff brings out the food to you and also grabs your plates when you are done. Their GF bread is fantastic! This location is under construction so there were some closed sections where we couldn't sit. Overall the staff was friendly and willing to help find GF items for me. read more

McAlister's Deli offers consistently good food with a menu of dependable sandwiches, soups, and salads that are well prepared and satisfying. It's a comfortable, reliable option when you're looking for a quick, casual meal. That said, the pricing feels a bit high for what ultimately arrives at the table. While the quality is solid, the value proposition doesn't quite match the cost read more

I had a veggie sandwich from here at work and it was really good. The sandwich had some size to it, was fresh, and tasted nice. I went to the restaurant in Algonquin and surprisingly there were a few veggie options. I decided to try the grilled cheese with tomato on toasted ciabatta. The restaurant was pretty much clean and empty around 5pm on a Monday. My grilled cheese came out quickly. It was good, but not better than the veggie. I wouldn't mind coming back if I wanted some decent food quickly. read more

McAlister's Deli - Four Cheese Melt with tomato - Salad Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Came into the McAlister Deli on Randall Road in Algonquin hoping to get a sandwich and soup. When I came in I knew what I wanted before I got there. I walked up to order and was not acknowledged by the staff working there. They kept walking past me. The final straw was a staff member getting something to drink right in front of me and then walking into the back. I asked if anyone was working the front and they just shrugged and walked away. I turned and walked out. Poor service. This is basic. Wait on your customer. read more

When I say we have been to this McAlister's Deli a lot, I mean, we have been to this McAlister's a lot. Until recently, we had McAlister's at least once a month since 2020. It's my daughter's favorite place. We have had our meals in the restaurant and we have done curb-side pick up. This is the one place that has never, ever gotten our order wrong. Everything is always hot and our order is complete. The food is very good and the portion sizes are excellent. My absolute favorite meal is the Rachel with horseradish Dijon added, a side of potato salad and a sweet tea. So yummy! The restaurant is always clean and the employees are always so nice! read more

The past few months they increased their prices a lot and they add noticeably less toppings on the sandwiches. If they are going to increase prices, I would expect better quality food. Half of my sandwich is just bread with no toppings. Customer service is good and place is clean. read more

Fresh and consistent. Our area around Oswego needs more places like this. I would love to see McAlister's open in Yorkville.

Always satisfying!!! Great food and has great prices , i recommend this place if you've never tried it

Been here several times & both the Reuben sandwich and salad were excellent. Both were very generous portions. Would highly recommend.

The food is very good ! Been there a few times now & you can count on a freshly made sandwich that doesn't skimp on the servings . They also offer Sweet tea which is one of my favorite beverages I would suggest McAllisters Deli if you're looking for a good Sandwich! read more

I'm a little slow to the party here. Partly because I've been jaded by the expense and lack of quality I've experienced from other local "sandwich" and deli shops. But I got sick with the flu and wanted a different broccoli cheddar soup. I ended up getting the soup with the horseradish beef sandwich and I am a convert! The soup here is chunky and thick and it actually tastes like cheddar. The sandwich was an explosion of flavor and with much higher quality than the other place down the street. I love the deli and will be back, and let's just say "bye bye" to the other sandwich shop, at the end of its "era". read more

Overall the service was great, tablets were clean, lots of sitting space, and the food came out in a decent amount of time. I tried the Savannah Chopped Salad that came with Seasoned grilled chicken, dried cranberries, Gorgonzola, honey roasted almonds, tomato and cucumber on mixed greens and the dressing was Sherry Shallot which complemented the salad very well. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade and a cup of country potato soup. Overall everything tasted great, and will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Very understaffed and unfortunately, not worth it. McAlister's restaurants are very inconsistent. You never know if it is going to be good. This one? Not so much read more

The food is great here! The hardest part for me is to pick what I want to eat cause there are so many great options! My husband ordered the chicken salad and I ordered the King Club Sandwich! The sandwich is perfect for a large appetite or to even split with someone! The Max and Cheese was hot, gooey, and delicious! The pasta was el dente and not mushy at all! A lot of the people sitting around us were eating the Large Spud and they looked delicious! So I will be back for sure to try that next ! The iced tea was yummy too, not bitter at all! read more

If you're looking for a spot with hearty sandwiches, soups, & salads- you must try McAlister's! Their menu is huge. There is a plethora of options, something for every taste and palate. They have a huge variety of fresh-made sandwiches, melts, wraps, salads, soups, and Spuds. The Spuds are absolutely enormous and easily feed two people. They don't skimp on the toppings. They also have a huge selection for the kids. Even the pickiest eater will find a favorite. I typically order the Half & Half. I do half a Reuben (small uncharge) with Chicken Tortilla Soup. I like doing the half and half as a full size sandwich is just too big for one person. They offer numerous combinations: half salad and soup, half sandwich and soup, etc. The Reuben is piled high with fresh and juicy corned beef and melty cheese. The perfectly-toasted rye bread is slathered with Thousand Island & Sauerkraut. They always do a great job with the sauce, always just right! The Chicken Tortilla Soup is another favorite. It has the perfect amount of flavor with a bold kick of heat. They serve it with tortilla chips- which I like to use for dipping. Another favorite is their Tomato Cucumber salad. It's a very small side, but it's my favorite. Juicy tomatoes. Onions. Crisp Cucumber in an Italian-style "dressing". I usually order 2-3 of them. As for their shareables, I have not tried them- so I cannot comment on that. Dessert wise, save the calories. I am not a fan of their dessert offerings and typically just skip it. The portions are large and the price is very reasonable. It's great delivered or eaten at the restaurant. It's a very popular place with kids and families. Delivery is always fast, fresh, and piping hot. Everything is packaged securely and I've never had them make a mistake on the order. They're a solid and reliable choice in our delivery lineup! read more

Terrible experience. I wanted to place a catering order on behalf of my company last week and because there was no one in catering that day, no one else could help. At first I was asked to call Melissa's cell phone directly and she told me that she would contact me as soon as she would be in the afternoon; as of 3:30 pm, I was getting anxious as I wanted something ordered for dinner that day; she did not call me and I was getting disconnected on the main phone. Needless to say, I am very disappointed of their service and for having no back up in catering. By the time Melissa got back to me (it was 7:00 pm), I had already placed a large order from another company. read more

We went for lunch and had a great experience. The counter service was efficient and courteous and she even put extra ice into my lemonade; I am impressed by such service. My wife had the italian sandwich with soup and loved both. I had the chicken club with a tossed salad and both were terrific. The only problem I had was getting my mouth around the size of that sandwich. Overall, this was a great lunchtime experience, and we would gladly go back. their food was worth the trip. read more

I did a pick up order BLT it was delish and was ready when I got there. I will be ordering again

Summary: a good deli but not one that makes you wonder how you lived without it beforehand. Of course this was literally opening day and they will continue to improve. What we had: I had the New Yorker - corned beef and pastrami. It was good - it came with a spicy brown mustard but I think it was put on too sparsely because I could not even taste it and the sandwich was dry. What was great was the meat - great flavor - and it was piled thick. If I got it again I would put my slaw on the sandwich. My wife had the Reuben - KABOOB! This was a great sandwich and the Russian dressing, etc. made it moist and delicious. Prices tend to run a little steep but for the quality you will pay it. Lots of room in the place and free WiFi. I received a voucher for free iced tea once a week for a year so you will see my back again. Overall I would say that it is as good as any other deli in the area. read more

The chicken salad sandwich is delicious. Their prices are the reason for the 3 star review. Way overpriced for a sandwich shop.

I was looking for some Veggie options in the area and stumbled upon this place. They have a lot of menu options and variations similar to Panera Bread. It was our first time here and they were patient with us. I opted for the Veggie Sandwich in a wrap with a side of mac n cheese, and a cup of fire roasted vegetable soup. The husband went with a veggie sandwich with a side of potato salad and a cup of fire roasted vegetable soup. We grabbed a table number and sat down at a booth. The service was great and friendly. They asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything. We asked for a to go container for the other half of our sandwiches. Their cups are humongous! We just asked for water and I assume they only have one size for beverages. Usually a cup with water at places like this is the smallest. The wrap was filled with lots of veggies, the soup was hot and the mac n cheese was as expected. It's good to know that this place is in the area for a quick bite. I won't be raving about it, but it did the job. read more

Delicious. Not at all skimpy. These sandwiches are loaded! It's our go to when we want delicious Dagwood style subs

Awesome place great chili sandwiches are delicious. Bread is very very fresh and filling. Free refills with your drinks no alcohol though I haven't had a bad sandwich yet read more

They use Door dash for delivery when ordering direct and I have an e-mail from door dash the restaurant has been credited for the driver stealing and giving such credit, but the establishment needs to credit me as I paid them originally. It's been 6 days and nothing has been credited to my bank account. Never order from them!! You'll set yourself up for disappointment, management needs drastic improving overall with customers and employees. read more

Enjoyed the grand opening and received a card for free iced tea for a year (one free tea per week). They serve sweet tea made with cane sugar and also unsweetened tea. Nice flavor to the sweet tea. Doesn't leave an after taste. The servers handed out menus to look at and kindly helped me place my first order. I ordered the Reuben with a side of potato salad; hubby ordered the New Yorker with a salad of coleslaw. The sides come in a little 6 oz clear cup (about the size of a serving spoonful). All sandwiches served with your choice of side dish and a pickle. Had to play hide-n-seek for my pickle. It's underneath the paper to keep the sandwich from getting soggy. Quick, prompt, friendly service from knowledgeable employees. The front door leads straight through the center of the store to the cash registers. Dining area is on either side of entryway. There is no drink station. All drinks poured behind the counter and delivered with a smile. Yes there are restrooms. No I didn't go back there. Looking forward to my next visit and more free iced tea! read more

Good place to get lunch or dinner. Their Ruben sandwich is good as well as their French dip. The pick two meal is a good deal and you can even get half of two different sandwiches as part of that. Their iced tea is pretty good too. read more

My wife and I always enjoy the delicious sandwiches and tasty sides at McAlister's. We like to split the King Club, because it is a massive sandwich. The restaurant is always clean and inviting with very attentive staff. The manager normally stops by the table to help with refills and makes sure everything is going well. It is great for a fast, casual quick bit to eat. read more

Always good food and service. Love that they help with local school fundraisers. I love the turkey sandwich.

A total let down. Vary fast foolish. Not a great sandwich. Overpriced for the quality. But if your looking for a quick flushing of your system try the Mac and cheese. I guarantee a fast flush read more

We go about once a week. Hubby tried the baked potato last time. It was huge. Took second half with him to work the next day. Potato soup was great. Salad I had was fresh and cut nicely and chicken was moist. Only thing we have gotten we didn't care for was pretzel bites with hot dog in the middle. One thing out of 20. read more

This place is soooo good for lunch it's really the only place I know of that offers huge loaded spuds and refreshing southern style iced teA. I like most of their very generously portioned menu options. I will choose this place over Panera any day. read more

I had a really nice, but quick dinner with my parents as I was on a time crunch. This was my first visit and everyone was friendly and patient as I decided what to order. They have a pretty big menu and the food was really good. Crunchy pickles are a huge plus in my book and I really enjoyed the soup of the day, chicken dumpling. I also had the sweet Chipotle chicken sandwich and thouroughly enjoyed the flavor. I thought it might be spicier than it was, which I was a bit nervous about, but it was excellent! I'm excited to try other menu options in the future. The restaurant was well staffed, maybe a bit over-staffed because the manager and a few people were standing behind the counter (about 6:30pm on a Tuesday night during the winter). I didn't have an issue with this because there were other staff members picking up any trash and refilling drinks throughout the restaurant and the floors/tables were clean. I will definitely be back again. read more

Nothing says Grand Opening like a line out the door. I chose the salad with a scoop of chicken salad. Daughter; pb and jelly, husband Grilled Ham and cheese. (Friend: spud bigger than my face ;) ) The soda cups were the largest I have seen. And you get free refills. Since it was opening weekend they were over staffed and we were asked too many times if we needed a refill. Damned if you do...if you don't. But they asked soooo many times we couldn't have a conversation without someone asking. Instead of being "served" , they were bored and our visit wasn't as amazing as it could have been because of the excessive interruptions. The chicken salad scoop was very good. I had to cut myself off because I doubt it was keto friendly. My husbands sandwich came out wrong twice but he liked the final correct one. Daughter said her bread was "weird" but ate the entire sandwich. My friends spud was so large. Other customers were in awe of the deliciousness on her plate. She and I had leftovers. I will be back. It was tasty and everyone enjoyed their meal. read more

It was my first trip to McAlester's Deli. I ordered a Choose 2, Cesar salad and chicken tortilla soup. I took my order to go. When I got home I had a large baggy of tortilla chips (way too much to put in my soup) and no salad dressing for my salad. So now I have a ton of extra tortilla chips and no salad dressing. I ate some of the cheese and croutons off the salad but tossed the rest of it. The soup was good but I was hoping for a broth and not a cream. It probably would have received a better rating from me if I did pay $9 for a tiny soup. My best advice is check your bag before you leave the Deli. read more

First time customer after receiving an offer in their app that neither Algonquin nor Corporate would honor. Due to time constraints ended up overpaying for the sandwich which was not good. Don't waste your time or money you will be very disappointed. read more

The chicken tortilla soup has almost no chicken in it. The baked potato soup had absolutely no taste. The only thing to give it some taste was the pepper I added. Even after dipping bread in it, all you taste is the bread. This was a complete waste of money and a huge disappointment. read more
