Great spot for a quick bite to eat! A sit in diner but no drive thru. We had adults and kids and we were all very happy with our dinner! We enjoyed the french dip sandwiches, pulled pork spuds and some salad. The kiddos enjoyed pretzelndogs with mac and cheese bur I wasnt able to grab a photo. Great service and they would come and check with us and make sure we were doing well. Low lights and relaxing atmosphere. Great place to stop by for lunch break or after work. read more

This place is filthy and bathroom had no tp and dirty. They just opened less than an hour before, which means nobody cleaned last night or this morning I stood at the counter for ever to order ( before 11am) 1 customer inside. She (Kristina)was only concerned about her to go -catering orders and zero concern about me standing there. No welcome no I can take care of you when you're ready. Just blatant ignoring I considered leaving zero tip, but I'm just not that kind of person. I will say tea was good. Club sandwich was paltry for $12. The toast seemed like it was pre toasted hours before. Rubbery not even warm and yes a club is cold but the bread was odd. Funny they have their sandwich pics hanging around the restaurant and if you think that's what you're getting think again read more

My experience here was perfectly OK but I don't feel super inspired to come back. This McAlister's is located in a small strip mall with quite a few parking spots nearby. We came in for an early lunch so it wasn't too busy. I ended up ordering the Smoky Pepper Jack Turkey and it was perfectly fine but nothing crazy good. The bread was decent quality but all of the flavors just kind of blended together. The food was prepared quickly and I think the price point was reasonably fair. Overall, it wasn't bad but there are a bunch of other nearby sandwich spots that I'd like to try out, so I think McAlister's will be put on ice for a while :) read more

I ordered the signature club and it's mostly bread two little meat. It taste of only the bread and honey mustard there is no other distinctive anything but bread. If I was in the mood for a club, this would not be it. read more

Gavin was very attentive to my allergies and specific needs. This is one of our go-to restaurants because we can always depend on them to get the order right and make sure we are satisfied. read more

The food was okay! I got a sweet and smoky chicken sandwich. I wish it came with more vegetables, but the BBQ sauce was tasty. Their lemonade is really good, too. The employees didn't seem very happy, hence the four star review. It was also a tad chilly in the restaurant. Music was okay, ambiance just seemed like typical fast food restaurants. There were a lot of tables left uncleared, too. read more

McAlister's Deli - Sweet and smoky chicken sandwich - Salad Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

We've been to McAlister's many times over the years and the food has always been fresh and consistent. It's not fancy since it is quick service but there's plenty of seating for smaller and larger groups. Service can be a bit slow but like many places, they are short-handed. My personal favorite is the Pick 2. It's a take on the other popular quick service chain that also offers this but the biggest difference is that the quality is much better at McAlisters and the portion sizes are much more generous at a fraction of the cost. read more

McAlister's Deli - This is my pick 2 with the Broccoli Cheese Soup & Ultimate Nachos. you can't tell from the pic but it's a huge portion of nachos! - Salad Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Been a few years since getting anything at McAlister's and my buddy was looking for something other than fast food, so I talked them up and figured I'd grab a sandwich as well. What a difference a few years makes. $15 got me a 6" sandwich(They called it Big & Bold ) and $9 got him some canned chili. I guess that's a microcosm of the world today. Good things just don't last.. read more

Great service every time I go in. Food is consistent , so honestly no complaints. The decor is friendly and bright. If you love a good potato and a brookie you should definitely go! read more

It's a quick place but I think it's so good. I love their soup so much. It makes me happy!it's pretty typical looking inside. But the staff was nice and patient when I have problems deciding what I want. read more

The food was good but most of the tables needed cleaning as well as the floor. I overheard another customer requesting his table to be cleaned too. read more

Ingredients are fresh but the service was disappointing. I ordered a salad to-go and it wasn't made as I had ordered or described on the menu. Also the staff was huddled inside the kitchen, gossiping and not paying attention... maybe that's why my order lacked care? The grilled chicken salad is usually extremely crisp with mixed greens and I specifically ordered extra cucumbers. What I got was 95% spinach with zero cucumbers and barely any tomatoes as well. The whole experience/excitement was deflated because it really is the little things sometimes! Right?! It's a tricky parking situation sometimes but a great spot for typical lunch fare. Ambiance is clean and spacious inside, even some outdoor seating. read more

McAlister's Deli - Grilled chicken salad - Salad Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Sunday afternoon. What a mistake. Never again. Crowded, dirty dishes stacked on counters, long-ass wait times, seemingly no management presence. Grossly understaffed. Just. Don't. I won't make that mistake again. I finally walked out before my take out was ready, nauseous from the experience. read more

I have visiting this location several times and took a friend this week and we both enjoyed our meals. My friend got a HUGE baked potato filled with cheese olives, green onions, butter, sour cream, and bacon. She took half of it home! She also got a HUGE piece of carrot cake and said it was the best she has ever had. I always get a pick 2, so this time I got the king club and a southwest chicken with avacado salad. Their tea is always so good and the drinks come in a huge cup. The place was clean and the employees were all kind and helpful. We were there between lunch and dinner and were told they would only be doing take out for dinner due to lack of staff. We were glad to have been there ahead of the dining room closing. Always good portions, always had good service here. I will continue to visit and my friend wants to go back already. read more

Customizable items, reasonable prices, and curbside carryout? Yes please! I recommend their Choose 2 deal. It's affordable and you receive a good amount of food. Ordered: -Cinnabon Cheesecake ($4.49): delish, cheesecake part is basically just Cinnabon frosting (frosting is the best part right??) -Choose 2 (1/2 spud, 1/2 salad for $8.89): filling, nutritious, and fresh -Grilled Chicken Club ($8.49): small portion of sandwich and side, leaves you hungry Pros: -curbside and in restaurant takeout available -orders made quickly and accurately -online menu is easy to use -payment accepted online -employees bringing out orders are wearing masks -menu items are incredibly customizable -varied menu, you are bound to find at least one item you will enjoy Cons: -full size sandwich is mainly bread. Leaves you hungry. We would prefer more meat. We enjoyed this meal and previous delivered meals. We continue to recommend this restaurant to others! read more

Food is ok, restaurants is filthy, only 2 tables are taken, 90 percent of other tables are dirty and sticky with food. Nobody cleans the tables? If they can't keep the front clean, I'd hate to see the kitchen. Possibly my last visit here. read more

Jennifer was very nice and did her job well. She was the only one taking orders, delivering food to the tables, and clearing tables. I ordered the Garden Turkey. It was tasty. However, there was very little turkey on the sandwich and they gave you a sliver of a pickle. I guess I am a little jaded being from the NE where the good delis serve you a hardy portion. read more

Had a half hot roast beef sandwich and a cup of chili. Both were skimpy. Chili was barely filled to three quarters in the cup. In the sandwich the beef was tucked to one side and none at about the last quarter of the bun. Not much cheese on it to speak of either. With the drink the bill was $15 and not worth it IMO. Plus the cashier had major attitude. Don't know if I'd return. read more

I thought I had already written a review so I didn't take any pics. I'll be back soon and will add some later. This is my GO TO McAlisters. It is too close to my house ! Walking here is an option and based on the size of my Rachel sandwich , our next visit will require a walk. Hubby and I both were craving a Reuben. We opted for the (slightly) lower fat version that they call a Rachel. Turkey instead of corned beef. I couldn't believe how much meat was on the sandwich !! YUM !!!! We probably should of split one. Their new SPUDS chips are delicious. Service is always quick and friendly. We will be back. They have nachos now !!!! Gotta try them ! read more

McAlister's is an establishment where you can get great, wholesome sandwiches, soups and salads. I will say that their proportions have slightly decreased over the years but the food still is packed with quality ingredients. In terms of cost -- I'd probably give it two $ our of $$$$. It's a little steep for what you're getting. But hey, the food is enjoyable. Staff at this location was incredibly kind and top rated customer service. Love all of their menu items -- especially the brookie. read more

Came here with a friend after walking Apex Lake. Very convenient location with other restaurants and shopping around. We were served right away at the counter and the server was very accommodating and that I didn't want to eat meet that day and she added extra guacamole instead to my salad. The salad had a lot of good texture in it and was fresh. The tomato bisque was warm and flavorful. The restaurant was pretty clean and the server took our plates shortly after we were finished. Quality of the food is good. read more

Love this place. Sandwiches are exceptional. Corn beef and pastrami are lean, tender and flavorful.

McAlister's food and service always seems to be consistent and of a high quality. A great place for a quick lunch. Would recommend the New Yorker! read more

Quick in & out. Outdoor seating & sweet tea big enough to be from Texas ! McAlisters is mainly known for lunch and their catering lunch boxes however they also have breakfast!! Portion sizes are large and they feature a pick two option, which I had. I chose the Savannah salad and pepper jack turkey sandwich. Both were perfect together. Order the lunch boxes for your office! They'll be a hit! McAlister's features order ahead and an app for your convenience too. read more

First visit to this new location. Very new and clean. Walking through the parking lot from COSTCO we found few sidewalks. Wish these new spaces could be designed with walkers in mind. No wonder 2/3 of Americans are overweight. We made it safely to McAlister's at noon on a Monday. No line, no wait. Friendly staff, even came around to refill my iced tea--the real reason I came here--love its fresh brewed flavor. Hubby and I both had the chose 2 option and had 1/4 muffuletta with salads, his Savannah chopped and mine southwest Cobb. Other than having the core of lettuce head included in mine, salads were very tasty, fresh and generous portion. The muffuletta was just okay. It's not NOLA, we're in Apex, NC. Close enough. Certainly not worth 900 calories. Live and learn. Weight Watchers be aware that's 28 smart points for 1/4 sandwich and then add the salad. read more

UPDATE: went back 2 weeks later around same time, 3 pm and the second visit Reuben was NOT big like the first time. Quality control? I feel cheated somehow. Compare pics and decide.

The food was good. I ordered the French dip sandwich. However, the service was not great at the counter. Girl at the counter struggled with entering in the order. I asked about a teacher discount because the Goldsboro location told me about it a few months back. The girl looked at me like I was stupid and said maybe it will come off at the end or I can ask. She didn't ask and at the end said that she saw the button for it but it didn't take it so oh well. She didn't even try to get help to honor it. I wasn't in the mood to argue over 10% so I just let it go. Not impressed with the customer service at the register. read more

My wife and I can always count on getting great sandwiches from McAlister's and it's our go-to for a quick lunch.

This is one place I will never visit again. Food was way over priced. I ordered a club for $9.99 and a sweet tea for $2.79. Asked for a smaller size tea and was shown a cup the size of a water cup at Popeyes for $1.79. My wife ordered a chicken sandwich with water. The club came on two slices of toasted white bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, turkey, mayo and no bacon. Every club I ever had that is on sandwich bread always comes as triple decker. Plus they wanted a tip when I ordered the food at the counter. This place is set up fast food style so tipping is out when all you do is take my order. Worst club I have ever had. Total bill almost $25 for two crummy sandwiches and one ice tea. Terrible, go around the corner to Schlotzskys instead. read more

Veggie potato was hot and came with broccoli, peppers, spinish, tomatoes and spicy cheese. Savannah salad was tasty, the chicken salad with pecans sandwich was bland. Did this as a takeout meal and it satisfied our hunger. Liked how sturdy the plastics utensils were. Good value to cost. read more

read the reviews about the place and saw that they had a lot of bad customer service reviews so I decided to order to go. The food was delicious but while waiting for my food, someone complained that their sandwich had been sitting for too long and wanted a refund. didn't expect to see it firsthand lol. read more

My bf wanted me to give them 2 stars, but I bumped my 4 stars to 3. The biggest complaint would be the staff. There was giggling and screaming in the back. The cashier didn't smile at us once or offer any help, as it was our first time. It was open seating, but a lot of the tables were dirty and had crumbs all over. And the worst was the staff member who threw napkins at us before she placed our food on the table. On the other hand, I enjoyed the food. The Grilled Chicken Sub had a nice sauce on it that made it very flavorful. Though my Savannah Salad had too much blue cheese, it was very tasty. It was like a more deluxe version of Panera Bread. read more

I placed my order. Asked that they not put onion or horseradish sauce on sandwich. The lady that took my order was pleasant and professional. At the time of my order, she was taking orders and delivering food so it was a bit of a wait to place order. Eventually what appeared to be a manager came off his break and started helping. I saw my order come up. The lady realized that it had onion and horseradish sauce on it and told the manager. They sent it back. Which was good. Where things go very wrong is when my order was back up the manager kept pushing the plate around and filling to go orders. I was watching to see how long this would go on. This went on for 10 plus minutes. After there were no more orders to deliver or bag, he just look around. The lady after clearing the line realized it was up for delivery. By that time I walked up to the counter to get it. I overheard him say to the lady that it probably should be reheated. He sent her out to my table. Seriously???? I will not be back. read more

They've gone down hill in the last few months, I know there are staff and supply chain issues, but not including salad dressing on a take out order, forgetting bacon on a club, and if I ask for an order to be ready at 5:30 for pickup... and I get there at 5:30 and everything is soggy because they made it when it was placed not when it was set to be picked up...it just seems to be going downhill lately read more

High quality ingredients with a friendly staff. This was the first time I've been to this chain. You order at the counter and they bring you your food and drinks. It's nice that they refill your drinks for you but I think I'd prefer just getting my own refills. We got to go for a free soft opening type of thing through facebook. I had the New Yorker, pastrami and corned piled high in marble rye, it was great and very meaty. The sandwiches come with a side, I got the potato salad which was actually very good. My wife got the club which she loved. I tried their mac and cheese which was very good as well. Their menu is mostly made up of sandwiches but they have a bunch of other stuff as well. I'd like to try some of their baked potatoes. They have one that comes with steak, cheese, and caramelized onions. That's got to be good right? read more

I stopped by today on my way to the car dealership and i have my car serviced. I placed a takeout order of a pick two, the jalapeño crunch turkey sandwich and asked for no bacon. I also ordered the southwest chicken salad with the vinaigrette on the side and a side of ranch. I drive to the dealership, check in, sit outside to eat my lunch, and low and behold...there is bacon on the sandwich and absolutely no salad dressing included whatsoever. I can't run back to the store because my car is being serviced. What a waste of $20. Hopefully the veggie chili will taste okay. read more
