I was hesitant to lunch at this deli because I had such a bad experience at the Fairfax location. Fast forward to a group luncheon with my volunteer group. One of women who selected this location said they weee great. The dining area is bright with wide windows surrounding the room. It was clean and welcoming. Ordering is via counter. The staff was helpful and customized my sandwich to my liking. They offer a choose 2 and my choices were a pastrami sandwich and a "spud". The food was so delicious. The spud was a gigantic potatoe. This potatoe was a bigger than what most sit down restaurants serve. My pastrami on a baguette was so tasty: meat was hot and lean. I loved the portion. The highlight and reason for the 5 star was the staff. Food is delivered to your table via numbering system. The gentleman who attended to our table was so hospitable. I needed lemon, he brought lemon. I needed butter, he brought butter. To go containers were given as requested. Other staff members also came to check on our table. Panera can take a lesson from this place. read more

If you're looking for simply lunch in the Ashbrook area I would highly recommend this place. You can get a soups, salads, baked potato's, and more all for a decent price and it's all pretty darn good. This is not my first time at McAlister's Deli in Ashbrook. The workers are nice and the manager is very friendly & knowledgeable we've never had a bad experience at this location and the food never disappoints today we got a Spud max + the spicy turkey melt + veggie soup and a Caesar salad. Great lunch place! read more

Ate at this place while on vacation in Washington DC earlier this month. Wanted something light as it was hot and humid. Ordered sandwiches and salad. The first visit a young man named Spencer was very helpful and provided great suggestions on the food. He was very friendly and welcoming and made a great first impression of McAlisters. We took our meal to go. We decided to go a second time and unfortunately was not greeted by the young man at the register. I'm not sure if he was new or didn't know what he was doing but he stood there not offering any suggestions or making conversation. We decided to eat in and just didn't feel very welcomed. We ate our meal and left. It's too bad our 2nd visit wasn't as good as our experience with Spencer. Thats the only reason I'm posting this is to recognize his great customer service. Thank you! read more

If happiness had a flavor, I'm pretty sure it would taste exactly like McAllister's baked potato smothered in cheese sauce. This isn't just a potato -- this is a majestic, fluffy cloud that's been sent from the carb heavens and then given a warm, melty cheese hug. The mix-and-match menu is genius. Want potato salad? Done. Feeling soup? Easy. Want to feel like you're gaming the system by having both? They don't even judge you -- they applaud you. I half expect confetti to fall from the ceiling every time I order. The sweet tea here should have its own fan club. Seriously, I'm one glass away from writing it a love letter. And the jalapeños? Oh yes -- just enough kick to remind you that life is meant to be exciting, but not enough to make you rethink your life choices. Everything here is so good that I've started to suspect the kitchen might be run by a team of culinary wizards. Or maybe just people who really, really love making people happy. Either way, I'll be back... probably tomorrow. read more

We pleasantly surprised to come across a McAllister in NoVa! Had no idea they have a few locations around here. We had to stop by and decided to get a late lunch. Inside was clean and lots of tables and booths. Fast casual style deli, you order your food at the counter and they give you a number and deliver your food to your table. We ordered 2 Choose 2s. 1/2 McAlister Club Wrap, 1/2 Kickin Crab Chowder & 1/2 French dip, 1/2 Savannah Chopped Salad. Portions were great and pricing is reasonable. Everything was delicious. Definitely an upgrade from Panera and will have to checkout where the other locations are if we are ever in those areas too! read more

When I want to feel like eating healthier and have tasty food, this is my go-to spot. The club sandwich with a salad or vegetable side is filling. The peach iced tea is a real treat with free refills. The baked potatoes are ginormous. I'm a carrot cake snob so I had to try it. It has raisins so not a fan. But the slice is pretty big. Guess I'll continue baking my own. Service is always stellar. They bring food to you and clear tables for you. But without the pretentiousness of a full service place. Very relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is super friendly. I'd eat here several times a week if I lived closer. read more

This was my first time here, and I ordered the Pick for Two for togo choosing half salad and half sandwich. Everything was packaged neatly, and the portion size was very generous--great value for the price. The iced tea was incredibly smooth and refreshing, really delicious. Next time I dine in, I'd be definitely adding a baked potato and dessert to my order. There are so many other menu items I want to try! The staff were also extremely friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back! read more

The food is always good here. But, I went in today and heard the manager yelling at an employee. Both were sitting at a table near the front where you order food. I don't know what the female employee did or did didn't do -but screaming at your staff in front of customers is ridiculous. His tone and words were humiliating this employee. Rude, mean, and condescending is all that I can say... If you don't have an office in the back of this restaurant then you should be talking to your employees before the doors open!! read more

Food is very good and lots to choose from but is pricy .. but good I h Guess u get what u pay for.. tea I very expensive and they charge u per shot of flavoring.lol read more

Awesome experience, good people around you. Clean the interior and restroom. Food was good, but I wish they could use a little more ingredients on the sandwich. Compared to other sandwich shops, we need a little more meat inside. read more

We ordered for the very first time through Uber Eats and what an AMAZING SURPRISE!! My friend and I each ordered the Reuben sandwich which were absolutely PACKED to the gills with DELICIOUS tender pastrami!!!!! Not overpowering with the sauerkraut or sauce either which was a plus!! The cheese was melted perfectly!! It was the absolute PERFECT combination!!!! We both also got an order of their potato salad which was also amazing!! My friend ordered an additional side of their elbow mac & cheese and it was perfectly done!! Super cheesy and delicious!! He also ordered the Brookie Bar and scarfed it all down!! Everything was absolutely perfect!!! We will most definitely be ordering from here again and again!!! read more

Great sandwich spot! Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and tons of flavor. The bread was perfectly toasted, and everything tasted homemade. Quick service and a cozy vibe make it an awesome go-to for lunch. Highly recommend! read more

First time ever going, definitely going to be a repeat location. The staff was friendly and patient as I reviewed the menu. My meal was brought out to me faster than I expected. And most important my sandwich and the sides hit all the checkboxes for a pleasant meal! read more

Tried the pick 2 option and got their Chipotle Chicken & Bacon spud and French Dip sandwich. The spud was very good, moist and and rich. Recommend, if you like spuds. The french dip was meh. It does come with a liquid dipping soup which was also just alright. The sandwich itself doesn't have much taste so you kind of have to dip to get more flavor. Will get the whole spud next time. read more

McAlister's Deli - Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Spud and French Dip Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Huge fan of McAlister's! I used to travel to the Fairfax location before this Ashburn spot opened up. You can't beat the Choose 2 option. If you like potatoes, get a potato as part of the choose 2 deal. Yes it says it's "half" of a potato, but trust me, it's not half of anything. It's ginormous. Plus you pair it with half a sandwich. Tough deal to beat. I like the French dip, turkey crunch, king club, and the chipotle chicken potato. Plus in season I love the chicken and dumplings. Oh, and best sweet tea around. read more

My experience of McAllister's is that it is a quiet place to get a great sandwich. It never seems to be too busy and there always seems to be a couple women sharing a meal together. The staff at this one were particularly eager in their cleaning duties. read more

McAlister's Deli - Grilled Chicken Club - Delis Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

I was not feeling well and wanted just a sandwich. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich on a croissant and my husband got the chicken caesar wrap. Food was extremely mediocre and we didn't even want to finish it. His wrap had too much dressing and my sandwich tasted like pre-made chicken with barely any sauce. His mac & cheese was okay and mine came with chips in a bag. The plus side is that the employees were kind and the sweet tea was BOMB. Best I've ever had. But it's off the list for us. read more

Love this place. Nice healthy food/sandwich options and clean atmosphere. The pick 2 is a nice option to have.

This was my first time - WoW!! The people were so nice and helpful. I had my pup w me and they brought it out curbside. So I ordered - choose 2- got the delicious chicken salad croissant sandwich and the Asian chicken salad-so good - the dressing was delicious! My ice tea was free today for promotion! I also added Brookie - brownie & cookie - great pick- yummy!!! I am a fan and look forward to next time! read more

Good lunch place the setting is cozy and food is always fresh and tasty. I like there spuds it's cooked right and comes with different toppings. I highly recommend. read more

Menu has something for everyone. Great sandwich. Presented on real dinnerware at a table that wasn't cramped. This is a great place to eat and prices are very reasonable. read more

Ordered nachos. Got everything except the tortilla chips. Which are the main part of nachos.

Exactly what Ashburn needed !! We really didn't have a "true" deli so I was excited to hear about this one opening. Ordered lunch for 3 today for pickup. Online ordering is fantastic and easy. Was all ready on time as promised. Had the McAlister Club which was absolutely perfect! Plenty of meat, perfectly toasted bread etc. Side of potato salad was perfect sized and washed it all down with the best strawberry lemonade ever! Welcome to town and Thank You, McAlisters !!! This is the start of a beautiful relationship. read more

Got a small pizza for my daughter, I had the blueberry and butter pecan cheesecakes, both very good!

I just had such a great first time experience at McAlister's Deli and I will be coming back for more! The staff were incredibly exceptional and the food was great. Hayden, Olivia, and Sophia were so personable and so kind to go above and beyond to make my first experience great! I enjoyed meeting them and hope to see them again soon LOVE LOVE LOVE!! read more

Food is consistently good and service is always great. Definitely a go to place when you need a quick meal.

I was expecting so much more, based on the reviews. The potato soup was so bland, that I could only manage a few spoonfuls. I also ordered a Ruben. This was a sub par Ruben, that needed more sauerkraut and thousand island sauce.... In other words this was a very bland Ruben. On the plate was also a slightly shriveled pickle, it did taste fine thought so it was the highlight of my lunch. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, hence the two stars. read more

They removed their best item from the menu!! The chicken caesar wrap ): I used to love going here!!! read more

We've driven by here a few times and always assumed it was a sit-down restaurant with servers. We were at Lidl across the street and decided to give it a try and I am so glad we stopped in! It is a casual eatery with menu boards displayed above the cash registers and lots of choices: sandwiches, salads, loaded potatoes, soups, and a great variety of sides. Our party ordered four sandwiches: French dip, New Yorker, roast beef, and a veggie. Our sides were macaroni and cheese (2), potato salad, and a garden salad. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were generous, especially the sides. I really appreciated that when we ordered water, they put it in a large cup with a lid. Other places cheap out and give teeny-weeny kids sized cups without lids. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area - great selection, great food, and a great price. read more

First time here - while the food was delicious - I do wish the cashier had asked me if I was a reward member - she never did so in order to receive my free tea, I had to inform her. Hub's brownie was not delivered with lunch so we had to ask for that again. I went up a 2nd time to get their carrot cake and again no one asked me if I was a member so this transaction was not awarded to my account. I also was not given receipts. I'm a stickler for receipts as I've been burned several times being charged higher than quoted(although not by McAlister's). My sandwich also was missing the sauerkraut that was described as being part of the sandwich. There's still a lot of items that I want to try so I'll give them another shot and see what happens. read more

I enjoy the food from McAlister's Their strawberry lemonade is amazing and also the sweet tea is very good too

The food I have had a McAllister's has consistently been delicious. Every time I've gone, the service has been pleasant and the ambience of the restaurant makes it nice to sit down and eat with lots of natural light coming in. Highly recommend! read more

I got the King Club for the 2nd time and couldn't be happier. My 2nd experience is the same as my first. The club sandwich is packed with meat. Very flavorful with the sauce they had on the club. I finished the club sandwich but was not able to finish the Mac and cheese that came with it. This was a contactless delivery order by the way and it came as soon as possible. The Mac and cheese was still hot so I couldn't be happier. read more

This is becoming a regular place for us.Though we have to-go orders, BUT will definitely dine in once COVID situation settles down. Highly recommend - Spicy Southwest Chicken sandwich. I usually have mac n cheese on the side. The combination is just great ! read more

I've been a fan of this deli since they opened in Ashbrook Commons. The manager, Luis, went above and beyond for me when I placed a soup order and received the wrong soup (Togo order so I didn't realize the mistake till I got home). Luis invited me back and made everything right! Excellent customer service + awesome food = a loyal customer! read more

Tried this place for the first time after getting my senior dad a haircut in the same shopping center. My dad loves deli's so was happy to bring him here. VERY DISAPPOINTED!! His sandwich was smaller than a MC donalds hamburger!!! That's not a deli. Will not go back. read more

I can't believe it took us so long to try this place. It is very close to my son's school but for some reason I kept forgetting about it. I have a long drive from Lovettsville to Ashburn to get him back and forth so I decided to check out their online ordering. Talk about easy! Once we tried it we were hooked. We now pick up at least once a week. I order online and then send my son in to pick it up, back on route 7 and away we go. The sandwiches are good, but the salads are amazing. Sometimes a pickle or dressing is missing but nothing that really makes a difference. So glad I get a night off of cooking during the week. read more
