Dear McAlister's Deli gods, can you please put a location on the eastside of Cleveland, preferably in the Mayfield/Beachwood area? Pretty please? I discovered McAlister's while visiting my family in southern Ohio, and now every time I come down McAlister's is a must. One of the things McAlister's is known for is the Sweet Tea. If you only get one thing on the entire menu, make it the sweet tea. If you only get one more thing on the menu go with a super-sized baked potato of your choice. My choice is ALWAYS the spud ole which is topped with chili, cheddar-jack and jalopenos (chef's kiss gif). The same chili and toppings are used on my favorite sharable as well, the ultimate nachos only with more toppings. If more than one of these sounds good don't worry; they have the choose-two. I usually go with the nachos and the grilled chicken salad or the 5 cheese griller and add jalopenos of course, but I have kind of buried the lead with McAlister's. Their sandwich and wraps are really their bread and butter. The 'Deli' part of McAlister's name is what truly separates them from other places. My top 3 are: 1. The McAlister's Club because it is the best club sandwich I have ever had, and I am not a wheat bread kind of guy normally. 2. The Southwest Chicken because the spicy relish in it is just next level. 3. The chicken Caesar because it is consistent and a satisfying classic. So there you have it. McAlister's Deli has some scrumptious sandwiches, huge baked potatoes, healthy salads and famous sweet tea. I never heard of them before, but now I am hoping they eventually make their way to my neighborhood. There is no higher praise than that.

The Italian Sandwich, stale bread, barely any meat

I usually love McAlister's and their food, I tried this location for the first time today and I was not happy/impressed. I placed an order through the app for curbside service. Since I was in my military uniform, it is highly encouraged to NOT go places in uniform due to the current state of things. When I pulled up I called to tell them I had arrived, nobody picked up the phone out of the five times I called. I eventually went in and stood in line waiting for my to go order and the person who "checked me out" said "OH, THIS WAS A CURBSIDE ORDER" and tried to get me to pay a second time for the food I had already paid for 20 minutes before. When I got to work and started eating my sandwich, there was more bread than anything else, and it seemed semi stale. Was hard to even take a bite, I had to tear the sandwich away from my face which made it fall apart. The soup and potato salad were ok, we will see how the Caesar salad tastes. I won't be ordering from here anytime soon, I was so mad I forgot I had a pickle and I threw it away with the half eaten sandwich.

Two big pieces were on top and those crumbs were underneath. See were I added the chicken.

I have been a fan McAlister's since 2019. The service has went down drastically 2021. I'm sitting here because I didn't want to forget my experience this time. I ordered the "pair two" I got the sweet and smoky chicken sandwich and chicken tortilla soup. The tortilla chips that came with my soup was literally crumbs. and my food came out on a dirty plate. my soup had hardly any chicken in it so I added some from my sandwich. The sandwich itself is dry with literally a dash of sauce. And before I git my food I asked to exchange my lemonade for a soft drink because it tastes like dish water. I'm at 3310 Pentagon Blvd Beavercreek, Ohio. Please get it together. This is the third time I have been disappointed with the service.

I have had McAlister's all over the country, specifically in GA, FL, AL and OH. I have frequented this location several times and typically their food is delicious, fresh, and made correctly. Today, however, at this location in Beavercreek, OH it was a different story. I ordered a chicken club on a Baguette instead of the typical bread it comes on. I also ordered another sandwich with a side of tortilla soup. I received my ordered and rushed away to get back to work, I was in a hurry and should have checked my food. Once I got back to my office, I noticed my order was completely wrong. My chicken club was like a salad with no bread, just lettuce, tomato, and chicken in the box. I had no tortilla chips for my tortilla soup. I called and asked to speak with management, the first manager offered to replace my meal. I explained that I lived about 20 minutes from this location, wouldn't be eating my lunch bc of this inconvenience, and asked for a free meal and a refund. I explained I would drive back once I got off of work. To my dismay, the manager told me that they couldn't give me both, after all I may of eaten the meal. I explained that I was not touching my meal bc it was not what I ordered. I even stated I would bring the meal back. I then asked to speak to their manager, and he offered to replace my meal and add a free cookie. I explained that I would be wasting my time and gas because my meal was made incorrectly. The manager then told me he would throw in a free lemonade. I am a Customer Service manager, and this was awful customer service. In fact it left a nasty taste in my mouth, and I will not frequent this location once I get the meal that I paid for. Update -- I went back and got the meal that I paid for once I got off work. The manager offered me a COOKIE for the inconvenience. A refund and free meal is honestly the only thing that I feel would of been acceptable. My advice to anyone that patronizes this establishment is to check your food before you leave, it will definitely save you a headache, a wasted lunch break, and more importantly your time.

Stopped in here on a recommendation from a buddy…read more Unique setup. Order at the front and slide along the cook line to pay. Efficient if you ask me. The counter does not necessarily allow for people to view unless they try and look over to see them cooking but that is neither here nor there. I got a cheesesteak with mayo, onions and mushrooms. It was very good. Tasty and messy. Just the way I enjoy my sandwiches. It is difficult to compare to a Philly cheesesteak because the bread is different. It was tasty though. The food did take awhile to come out. It was to be expected because they are cooking it to order. I did notice that the food sat awaiting to be passed out for long than I felt like it should. The focus was on people paying and not getting the food out. The reasons for my three stars was not the food. It was the start of the process. The gentleman that helped us didn't seem excited to have us in. It was more like he was going through the motions. I watched as he talked to everyone. Never welcoming anyone in. Just asked name, what was wanted and anything else and he motioned everyone down the line. Kinda disappointed in the exchange. I get answering the same thing over and over, but welcoming people in is the first thing in business. Probably won't return to this location. I will try another and see if the experience is the same.

Food was pretty tasty! The service from Talia's our waitress was amazing! Ambiance was amazing !…read moreOnly complaint was the Manager or owner didn't speak to any of the customers at the door upon arrival!

Sunday morning, Margot and I joined the kids here for breakfast. We started with coffee for Margot,…read morean espresso for me, plus a mimosa and a tequila sunrise. Margot didn't finish her mimosa. I did finish the tequila sunrise, although calling it a tequila sunrise was generous. It was mostly a very sweet sunrise with rumors of tequila. Margot said her coffee was good, so we were off to a promising start. Then the food arrived. Cold. Margot ordered a breakfast bowl with the beef protein, which was so overcooked and so aggressively salted that she removed it from the bowl and left it on the plate. I assume it is still preserved somewhere in the restaurant and should remain perfectly edible well into the next century. Another person in our party ordered the same dish and had exactly the same experience with the protein. I keep using the word "protein" because I'm hesitant to call it meat--or beef, as the menu does--after seeing what actually arrived at the table. Whatever journey it took from cow to breakfast bowl clearly included several additional steps that were not necessary. I had two eggs, three sausage links and three pieces of bacon. Apparently the kitchen was equally concerned about my long-term preservation because the sausage and bacon contained enough salt to qualify as cured building materials. Both meals came with one piece of their "world famous" sourdough toast. One. Calling it a piece may also be generous. It was sliced thin enough that, under proper lighting, I believe you could read a newspaper through it. Another piece would have been appreciated, particularly considering toast appears to be part of the restaurant's identity. Service was an interesting team-building exercise. One person took our order, another brought drinks, someone else brought food, and yet another person checked the table. I believe we interacted with four different employees, which made it impossible to build any rapport with an actual server. Nobody was particularly terrible. Nobody seemed particularly responsible for us either. We didn't feel rushed, which was nice. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived but was absolutely packed by the time we left, with people lining up at the door. One thing we noticed on the way out: the restaurant itself looks great. Whoever designed the place clearly spent some serious time on Pinterest, and unlike the kitchen, they actually executed the assignment. At this point, Toasted may want to seriously consider a pivot. Close the kitchen, leave the furniture exactly where it is, and start designing restaurants for people who know how to cook. Because whoever is responsible for the interior clearly understands what a restaurant is supposed to look like. Now they just need someone who understands what the food is supposed to taste like. So clearly Toasted has found its audience. If you enjoy cold food, aggressively salted mystery protein, cocktails where the liquor is largely theoretical, and world-famous sourdough with the dimensions and structural characteristics of cardboard, you may have found your Sunday brunch destination. If you're preparing your body for long-term winter storage, even better. Margot and I will probably just admire the Pinterest board from a safe distance.
