Just passing through town. Randomly asked if they had guacamole. They didn't, but the manager took it upon herself to make guacamole on the spot. Such a sweet gesture and the guacamole was very good! Amazing service. read more

Ordered their smokehouse spud. The guy named Zacariah behind the counter informed me, "we are all out of brisket. Would you like to substitute with something else." I said, "sure, how about more Mac n cheese" he said that was fine. I tipped him, and then upon reviewing my receipt, that dude up charged me for the extra Mac n cheese. Won't be retuning again as i feel this is shady business practices. Don't ask me to substitute something that you then turn around and charge me for. read more

This chain is a perfect stopping point on a road trip. It's good, honest food, served pretty quickly, with a pleasant but not pretentious atmosphere. Ordering is efficient and they bring the food to your table. Salads, sandwiches, soups and their apparently famous ice tea. Not sure why it's famous but it's good. So easy and relatively quick to have a meal and then head back on the road. There is a location where I live but for me there are better choices for lunches and dinners. As I said, a perfect road trip restaurant. read more

After I place my order at the front counter it took about 20 minutes to pay because the register was not working correctly and the second register she tried wasn't working correctly And then she had to get her manager And finally I was able to pay.. The food was decent. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

4/8/25...There were 4 in our party tonight We arrived At 5 pm there were 4 active tables. Ordered. I had the Justaspud with butter only. Horrible. It was not ginormous! It was long ok,skinny, shriveled, wouldn't even melt butter. It smelled like it had been in the oven warming all day. Took it back. The peel was dry like it had been open for hours. Not fluffy. I took it back and got one that at least melted the frozen butter barely. But also was not ginormous. Just long and skinny, but it was edible! The first horrible potato should have never been sent out in the first place. Really??? The server had the guts to bring it to the table. Really??? Other friend got no pecans on his Pecanberry salad! Man no wonder no one goes to this deli. When we left there a few active tables but no where near a good McAlister Deli should be on a FRIDAY evening. *You can eat for under $20 but Man,the cook and server passed crap food out tonight. Good thing manager is so proud of his name on the building but not dealing with the details, to be Fresh as all the signs say. Oh! and the Chicken, Avocado salad had three thin slices of avocado on top but the delish pictures showed different from what we got. We should have raised the roof over the lack of details but we just said "forget it. We just won't be back!" Ps. Carrot cake was great. We will miss that! 8605 SW. 34th Ave. Amarillo,Texas read more

STOP watering down your broccoli cheese soup!!!! IF you don't have enough just remove it or substitute.

Hardly any chicken in tortilla soup and roasted veggie soup was flavorful broth and hunted for veggies. They must need profits but how hard can it be to add mixed veggies to the soup and chicken. That should be their business model Stay away from the soups, they are a miss. read more

I had previously reviewed with a one star and I can't get access for some reason to that account and had to start over. But I have given the place another chance and I've had three orders that came out right - and there has been so much improvement in food quality, order quality and service staff in the last year! I can confidently recommend this place again! read more

Very clean restaurant and friendly staff. We were looking for something light to eat for lunch and this was perfect. We got the grilled chicken salad and the southwest avocado salad. read more

McAlister's Deli - Delis Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I have tried and tried with this place because at one time it was my favorite place to eat. But they just can't seem to get things right. Ordering online - hit or miss if they will even be taking orders online. This last time took days for me to find that option available. Then when I finally get my order - it's messed up ... again. They included a "butter packet" which looked different from their previous "butter packet" ... it was sour cream - only I didn't realize it until it was on my spud and ruined my lunch. Their cheese sauce this time was way over cooked and brown - made me wonder if it was left over from yesterday - it didn't taste right at all! I'm done. Sadly. I just don't trust them anymore. read more

Best part about this place was the ice tea and salad dressing for the southwest salad. My Mac n cheese was good but only half full. I asked her to please fill it being I paid for it and her reply was "that's how they do it" to which I replied "who are they?" .... the kitchen people. The potato soup was bland. 1 of the 2 stalls in the bathroom had no toilet paper. It was disappointing. read more

McAlister's Deli - Southwest salad (no chicken per request) potato soup and a small portion of Mac n cheese. - Delis Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Teas may be great however your prices are over the top on most items...this is a sandwich shop after all.

No more hair. The hair is everywhere. The leaking roof doesn't help. At least the tea tasted normal. The people were disrespectful and the service was mid. read more

I really wanted lunch but after standing in a line for 20 minutes without moving, I gave up. I'd like to tell you how the food was but unfortunately the service is so poor, I didn't eat here. I tried. read more

They are incredibly slow there's not enough people working there. The line is always really long and about a 20 minute wait just to get to the end of it to make your order. I ordered online to be faster and they brought me a salad that had hairs sticking out of it! read more

I come here often for the "choose two" combo option with salad and potato spud or sandwich. The food is always good. I favor the Savannah chopped salad and chipotle spud, but have tried several of their offerings and have never had anything I didn't like. They have a wide variety of offerings for their salads, potatoes and especially sandwiches. The tea is really good, too. They usually come around and offer a refill of your drink, which is nice. The service can be slow at times, due to the way things are set up. It would be nice if they had a "form one line / first come first served" style of counter rather than a "multiple line / take your chances" system where you may or may not be served in the order you arrived. The app is not that great. I use it for to go orders, but if you do the "choose two" option it does not show you what comes on the items you have to choose from, you have to go back to the menu and look as if you were ordering individually. read more

I don't know what happened to this place . It takes forever to get your food. The workers are so slow. They act like they have never been trained. They forget half the stuff we order. It used to be be a good place to eat. Someone needs to save this place, it has really gone downhill . Also the music is horrendous!!!! read more

we have gotten a hair in our food in multiple plates more than once. the last time we were there one of us couldn't finish our meal because the ceiling started leaking onto her plate. the health inspector needs to definitely come inspect this location. the service sucks here as well. read more

I couldn't decide where to eat last night but I wanted something inexpensive and not too far away plus soup sounded good n the cold weather so I decided on McAlister's. I was thinking about just getting a bowl of soup and a couple of side dishes but I decided to get the "Pick 2" which I had had at the other location. I ordered the Veggie Spud with some Chicken Dumpling Soup and a side of steamed broccoli. The side of steamed broccoli wasn't a very large portion but it was fixed perfectly and tasted delicious. It was actually the best thing on the tray. The soup was good enough but their soup always tastes like it's made from a powdered mix. It doesn't have a bad flavor it just doesn't taste fresh made. It was actually improved when I cut up some of the broccoli and added it to it. The baked potato was a good size for being half of a combination meal but if it had any butter I couldn't taste it and there was no sour cream either. It's hard to think of a potato as delicious when it doesn't have sour cream. The topping wasn't bad but it kind of tasted like it came out of a can or was made from a powdered mix also. The skin of the potato was tough but edible. I like potato skin so I would never leave it behind and at least it wasn't burnt like a potato I got it one of the nicer restaurants in town, Longhorn I think. The thing I liked about McAlister's best is the employees. At both locations I've had nothing but cheerful friendly people willing to go out of their way to help and checking in with you often to see if everything is okay. Pleasant employees would bring me back, and already has, even if the food isn't stellar. read more

Because zero isn't an option! This place has gone downhill. It used to be my favorite place to eat in Amarillo! I ordered take out so when I checked my order, the club had a small slice of ham, 2+ inches of lettuce, and a 1/2 slice of cheese...I asked the girl if a club came with turkey! She didn't know so she got the manager who said it was 'hiding under the cheese'. It was! About a quarter size of very thin shaved turkey was right there! I told her that she had to be joking! $10 for a pound of lettuce and a quarter size of 'hidden turkey'??? This is the second time they have done this to me. Never again. They need to do some training at the other McAlisters! So much competition in this town! What a horrible place. read more

This just hurts to give McAlisters only one star. It started from the time I ordered. After the lady took my order I asked if I could give her my number for the rewards points. She very curtly answered "No. All we have are the tea punch cards." You are answering to something that you obvious know nothing about. My food came. I ordered my usual. Pick 2. Half baked potato and half sandwich which I chose the french dip. The sandwich came with so little meat just like Linda S states so this seems to be a trend with this McAlisters. This is not the case in all the others I have been to. Then I asked for sour cream for the potato. It has something in it. When I took that up front the girl stated "I am pretty sure it is lettuce." You are "pretty sure and if so why is LETTUCE in my SOUR CREAM? She asked if I wanted her to get me more. Really? You have to ASK??? Potato was cold and sandwich. Well. Take a look at the photos posted of the no meat "sandwich". Another McAlisters is opening in Amarillo. Hopefully not the same management! read more

This is by far the worst McAlisters we've been to. Every time we have come in something is wrong. Whether they forget parts of our order, mess up our order, or have our to-Go's sit on the counter for 20 minutes until we have to go ask for it. We never have a good experience. I've tried taking to the managers about these issues and it never changes. We go to McAlisters a lot. We have both worked for mcalisters for several years... you are better off taking the time driving to the one on i40... the staff and management on 34th are incredibly lazy and are very slow. read more

We ordered one club and one turkey sandwich! And waited over 30min. When we arrived all the other customers had already received their food. They said they only had two workers in the kitchen but the manager kept coming up front to show the register things on her phone. The two other orders that were placed online both came back in because their orders were wrong! read more

Would not recommend stopping at this McAlister's and I usually love McAlister's. Very few of the staff were wearing their face coverings correctly. Trash on most of the tables. Food was subpar. My salad seemed like mostly iceberg lettuce. The place just felt dirty. Stop at a different location. read more

Salads are good every time and are a good size portion. A bit pricey though for two drinks and two salads at over 25 dollars. The service is also very slow and the tea is always brewed way too long and doesn't have to much flavor but a burnt taste and either too sweet or not sweet enough. Workers are friendly and helpful. read more

Ive gone to a few other places in town and gotten their BLTS. None of them even compare to mccallisters. Id eat it everyday if i didnt have any will power! read more

I'm sorry but the last few times visiting here it's been pretty awful. Way under staffed, food is ok at best and the prices are way too high for the quality they deliver. I'm not sure I'll be bringing my business here again. read more

Tea always good never sour. Excellent service and hospitality. Highly recommended! Never a wait to get seated. Good is high quality! Thank you! read more

I enjoy the chili they serve so, we stop in from time to time. This experience was a comedy of error's committed by; I hate to say it, young people, distracted from the job at hand by whatever else was on their mind. The orders were incorrect; it took three times to get coffee, that kind of stuff. The manager apologized and gave us our lunch for free, but we would have liked more would have been the lunch we ordered. read more

Good food, but even better staff! Noe helped us out and was super friendly! Can't wait to eat here again!

Slow service. Food was good. Before we left we tried to get a refill and no one would help. Also we bought a reusable cup that was advertised as coming with a 30 day free team voucher. The cashier said they were out but to get on the app. Well that was incorrect. When we inquired they said there were only 20 of those and they were gone. Their sign said nothing about that and the cashier said nothing. Last time to go to that one. read more

I used to come here all the time a few months ago because my ex boyfriend loved this place. In my opinion, it's okay. Not amazing, not bad, just okay. I try not to be too critical of food places because I myself used to work as a server and a cook at a restaurant. However I've eaten many different things from the menu and their food tends to be inconsistent. For example you may order a choose 2 with a half sandwich and soup, and the portions are so tiny it almost seems like a kids meal, and you could order a salad and it's so massive that it takes up the whole plate. The food is a little expensive for what it is, especially when you try to order a limited edition item as a choose two, it can add $4 onto an already expensive meal. However this is also a good place to eat if you have lots of children and you're on a budget because the kids meals are very cheap, like $2 cheap. Overall the service is amazing. All the employees here are nice and pleasant, and they know their job very well. It can get a little crazy during lunch time because of how busy it gets, but overall a laid back place to eat. One thing I almost forgot to mention was that one time when I came with my boyfriend, we left a tip on the table like usual. As we were walking out, we noticed the manager come by and take the tip intended for the employee. This made me very angry as I thought he was stealing, so we approached the employee and went to go personally hand her another tip and explained what happened, when she said they weren't allowed to take tips. When we asked why, she told us it was because the servers were not assigned specific tables, so you could be served by multiple servers and they wouldn't know who the tip was for. I still think it was wrong that the manager took the tip considering that she was the only server there at the time. Maybe try implementing a new system that allows servers to take tips. read more

Usually enjoy McAlister's, but today was the best. Did the "pick 2"...potatoes soup was barely warm, Cobb salad just ok. No silverware was brought out and took a bit for a server to help. Service usually good, but this time no one came to our table. It was like we were invisible to servers. On this day, Jasons would have been a better choice. read more

I am sorry but this place getting 2 and a half stars is nuts. This is a 4 or 5 star place at the worst. This is a great place for a sandwich. Some might have a different favorite but when the ratings come in it deserves 4 stars. It is always fresh. read more

I decided to have a mid-week dinner with my mother and we decided on McAlisters for a quick/easy meal. We each had a pick 2 combo (you can choose from items such as 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 potato, small salad etc and make your own combination of the two). Mom had 1/2 McAlisters club and a small ceasar salad. Both of them she said were good but, and they looked nice. I had a 1/2 Memphian and cup of tortilla soup. My sandwich was sad, I think they mistakenly sent out 1/4 of a sammy because it looked dwarfed on the plate by the pickle spear. What I did get to taste was pretty good though. The tortilla soup is excellent. They do quickly refill their tea etc, but I can not understand why they think their tea is so revolutionary. The staff is also nice and VERY quick to clean their tables-I'm talking, don't put your fork down unless you are done! Overall its a decent place to grab a quick meal but I'm not sure I'd drive acorss town to get there.... read more

Varied menu with traditional deli favorites like French Dips and Club Sandwiches. The Chicken Tortilla soup is wonderful! Delicious sweet tea, fast & friendly service. Convenient location just east of Soncy on 34th. read more

Please do not waste your time here. Waited about 30 minutes for my food to be ready just to give me the wrong sandwich. Didn't give me the chips I paid for and they still forgot the dressings on both my salads. Horrible service here I do not recommend read more

Should have listened to the reviews. Stopped on road back to Dallas on a Sunday afternoon. Some Amarillo restaurants closed Sunday. This place slammed after church crowd. Severely understaffed. Bathroom garbage overflowing. Front staff polite, but waited over 40 minutes for sandwich order. Seats in booths peeling. read more

Recently I ordered online 1/2 sandwich and a baked potato. When I went to pick it up, the young lady at take-out counter mumbled something and I asked what but she would say nothing else. So I finally said, do you have my order and she finally went over to another counter, picked up a sack and handed it to me with no comment. I was not greeted in any way, just a kind of hostile stare. When I got home, I found that I had 1/2 sandwich and nothing else. There was a message on my answering machine telling me they were out of baked potatoes, what to do? My 1/2 sandwich was good...tried to call next day, could not reach anyone. I was charged the full price of my order, $11.08 on my credit card. Quite expensive for 1/2 sandwich. No apology, no offer to make this right. I won't be back! read more
