I ordered my meal with Avery & she was nice & informative. My order was messed up & left 2 items out. The manager Haylee was nice about fixing the issue but when you live out of town, you don't want to have to come back. We actually went to the drive thru and picked & that has gotten to be easier too because the previous store did not have a drive-thru here. 8/10 read more

Our team had a working lunch and ordered McAlister's. I had the four cheese sandwich with sea salt chips and their famous sweet tea. Everything was well prepared. I don't visit this deli often, but it has now become a lunch option. read more

Decent food and good beverages with polite customer service I would return and definitely recommend.

I wanted a wrap after a very long day. McAlister's was close by and I was familiar with it, having eaten at a location close to where I live. It's the service that was excellent. The young man who took my order seemed genuinely pleased I was there. The restaurant wasn't crowded so while my food was being prepared, he took the time to walk around and check the other patrons and generally check on things. After a few moments, my take-out order was ready so I was own my way. My food was very good, as expected, but the thing that made my day was the attitude of the clerk. I appreciated it so much. read more

Food was so fresh & delicious My husband and I have established this is our new place! Sandwiches are great, salad very & so cold... I love a cold salad! Chili is really good too! Staff was amazing ànd super fast... We've been 2x this week!!! Restaurant and bathroom was nice & clean... Always a plus! Can't wait to run through the menu! read more

My husband had the max spud and I chose the BLT+A avocado. There were 3 young men running the place. They were very respectful. The place was spotless and the food was amazing! read more

It was an adventure today. Staff had walked out. So it took ten minutes to place out order safer having to repeat it several times. Then we waited 35 minutes to get out food. They were running 45 minute waits before we left. We came at 3pm hoping to miss the crowds. There were no crowds... Just no employees! Many employees were apologetic. The food was delicious. We will return... But we will give it a month to get their staff issues resolved. Seemed those working were putting in looking hours, no free meal while working a shift. I think management needs to rethink how they treat their staff. Sodas are $3.29!!! You can get a six pack of soda for that! Tea is $2.79. We won't get drinks in the future. We got a slice of carrot cake. They comped a second slice due to the wait. Again, the food was delicious. But staff issues were the problem. read more

McAlister's Deli - Black Angus with chips. Memphis with chicken and dumplings, tea. - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

very slooooowww . The food is good , but the walk up ordering is long and there is no sense of urgency. I have been a few times and questioning if I will be back again . They need to get it together and have more staff at the registers . read more

The food here is great! It's a little pricey but portions are huge! The staff is always friendly and quick to answer any questions you have about their extensive menu. read more

Good food and everybody is friendly. The spuds and sandwiches are really good. X'Zander was very friendly and checked on us while we were eating. He even gave my toddler a fist bump on the way out. Great customer service! Will definitely return. read more

We usually come here on Saturdays at lunchtime, and there usually aren't many people here. My wife and I love it. The food is great and the staff is very friendly, especially with my little girl. I usually get the Garden Fresh Turkey sandwich, which is delicious. The inside is nice and clean, and we look forward to coming. The staff even came around and offered to get us refills on our drinks. Can't say enough good things about it. I can't believe it's not packed every time we come. read more

Best sandwiches in Athens Georgia. Would recommend anybody that is visiting or is living in Athens. The service is incredible and the employees will be sure to put a smile on your face before you leave. And the decoration is very nice there is only one slight problem and that is that it's cold inside. Would recommend to anybody in the world! read more

Make sure you order before your come if you plan to utilize the drive thru!! I got the McAllister king (I think) with the chicken salad; it's called pick 2. No complaints everything was good and I was full for $10. The staff was extremely friendly and offered a free drink for the delayed wait time. A definitely to revisit read more

Food and service are both excellent!! Location is roomy and very clean. Nice outdoor seating area. read more

McAlister's Deli - Veggie Spud! Delicious. Get extra cheese sauce! - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Have been here a few times. It has been delicious every time! The tea is next level and this is the south and everyone is picky about the sweet tea including me and it's so good every time, I dream about the Tea seriously considering the tea pass. Have had the spud max, black angus roast beef spud and the chipotle chicken and bacon spud. I first ordered these not knowing anything about them and it's like a meal in itself ! So delicious if your a fan of a slam packed baked potato. They Do have plain ones as well. Have tried a few of the sandwiches my daughter loves the French dip and I honestly love a good sandwich and the king club and McAllister club Have not disappointed a have ordered online and In store. Of course a little wait but that is to be expected in store. Very nice and courteous staff, short staffed or not bc who isn't these days. read more

Club sandwich was everything with the potato salad. I love their ice and brownies. Great place

First time ever going to a McAlister's and my wife and I wanted to give it a shot. I had a Ham & Cheese Melt with a side of chili and my wife had a smoked pepper-jack turkey sandwich with potato soup and cheese cake. The food was fantastic and the staff was just as good. Everyone was smiling and very friendly. This location will be our go to from now on! read more

So right now it's 11, not busy, we walk in, we get ready to tell her our order, then she talks all huffy puffy about how they can't take anymore orders bc online orders are through the roof and they aren't even popping up. Very unprepared with a rude staff. read more

Absolutely my favorite deli. The ham and cheese melt is literally the best sandwich I've ever had. The bread always tastes like it's fresh out of the oven. Never tried anything else because this sandwich is sooo good. We go every time we're in Athens. read more

This is the best deli around. Good fresh food. Great customer service. The restaurant was extremely clean.

Don't have it together yet. It took over 25 minutes from time of order for two sandwiches. There might have been 8 people total in the store some of whom had food already. Didn't know it would take longer than a sit down restaurant like longhorn down the road. Until timing is fixed I would NOT recommend this fast causal experience. It is seriously lacking in the fast aspect. read more

Went to mcallisters and paid 10 bucks for this. they forgot my salad and now I feel empty. 2 stars because the wrap is superb read more

McAlister's Deli - my sad looking dinner - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Terrible customer service. Waited 50 min for an order. When we finally got our order it was wrong. I'd rather give it ZERO stars

My daughters and I ate here on 4/29/22 at approximately 6:00 pm. We each had a baked potato. It was horrible. It definitely tasted as though it was left over from lunch and kept in the warmer. It was luke warm. It was not a fresh baked potato. It was disgusting. Maybe their other food items are better. I don't know but I'm not willing to try it. My daughter had one just a few days before at lunch and it was under cooked. read more

Worst service I've experienced. Several customers just waiting for their food and the there's no sense of urgency at all. Just passing thru Athens but won't be back to that location again! read more

Needed a quick meal during soccer tournament and this was the wrong choice. It was evident this place is understaffed with tables covered with dirty plates and glasses. After waiting to place our order the waiting really started. It was over 30 minutes to receive our sandwiches and one order was wrong. I went to one end of the counter to get a refill of my drink waiting behind another customer. When her glasses were refilled the employee walked to the other end and got a drink for himself ignoring me. Another customer walked up to him for a refill and received it with me still standing there. I gave up, left, and will never go back. Would not recommend this place. read more

ordered online, my boyfriend receieved his food, but they didn't take the sauerkraut off the sandwich. I only received a sweet tea, so I called the store. she argues with me about whether I got my soup or not, because the only thing she could see that was left behind was the potato. I didnt appreciate her response and didn't catch her name. the lady rushes me off the phone, saying they had a line and were shortstaffed. I leave my name and number with her, I never hear back from her. shortstaffed or not, you should be able to read the ticket well enough to realize 2/3 different items were not in the bag. overpriced as is and will not try again. read more

Overpriced. The sandwiches & chips were just okay, nothing special. Won't be going back.

The service was terrible and I sat in an empty line for 20 minutes waiting on a single bowl of soup. I work at CFA...worst service I've had.

Lashanta took my order. Walked up to the counter to order and she had an airpod in and she couldn't hear my order. I repeated it and she put in the wrong order. I corrected her and she looked at me with disgust. I ordered a Dr. Pepper and she gave me a sweet tea. My name is Sam which I told her 3 times, but my ticket says "Zap." While I'm sitting here, 5 different people have complained about it taking more than a half hour or incorrect orders. Steer clear of this garbage service. read more

Waited 50 minutes for food , two half sandwiches and soup . Never received it. Had to end up getting a refund. Meanwhile there were at least 4 people I could see working in the back. This place will not be around long. read more

I went by at lunchtime on a Saturday and the restaurant was almost empty. I stood at the counter for five minutes and nobody even acknowledged me. Absolutely no line. Finally a man came up and said they're not taking orders. He said it's a Saturday and they're too busy. I looked at him confused and said so I should not wait? And he said no they are not taking orders. I left. read more

I gave it 3 stars because the food was good. The staff and atmosphere was weird. I have attempted to go here 4 times. I was successful on my second trip. The first time I drove there was on opening day in the late afternoon. There were 2 cars there. I felt something was wrong. As I entered the driveway there was a handwritten sign saying they were closed (on opening day) and would be open the next day. There was a big balloon on the front of the building saying "Grand Opening", There were 2 people sitting outside in the outdoor dining area. Looked to have been employees. Drove back the next day. They were open. Went inside, saw a lot of employees around not an over abundance of customers. Employees seemed to be talking to each other a lot, maybe getting use their new co-workers. I ordered a half sandwich and chili. The girl who took my order was nice and smiled. I told her I was happy they were here. I sat at a table with a long bench against the wall. Noticed 2 men on a computer sitting close to the counter. Must have been people who were connected to the restaurant. I received my food quickly by another smiling employee. Then they were back talking behind the counter. The sandwich was good with alot of meat. The chili was OK. I realize chili appeals differently to different people. Next time I will try another soup. As I began eating I could hear a small child yelling and running around the restaurant. Not really under any control of an adult. Then I saw a lady get the child and pull it over by the counter talking to employees. It seemed that person was an employee as she went behind the counter briefly. Shortly the child ran over towards the 2 men and climbed up on the bench seat. Jumping and playing loudly. One of the men said something to the child smiling. The child decided to run down the bench all the way down to me. Yelling along the way. The mother finally came to get the child. But later was still out of control in the restaurant. Not my idea of an enjoyable meal, but realized it was a new restaurant and they were trying to get it all going. I ate and left still hearing the child as I walked out the door, I decided to try the place another evening when I had been in the area. Went by at 7:50 pm and saw that all the chairs in the restaurant on the right side were turned up on the tables and they were sweeping. I came in and said are you closing. Not until 9. This is a pet peeve of mine. I don't like to have people cleaning around me as I am eating. I left, I tried again tonight around 6ish. I drove there and it was completely closed. I will try again. I hope McAlister's will make it, the food was good. read more
