    Upon arrival after a workout with my husband, we stopped here for a bite to eat. The manager literally opened the door for us, his name was Joel. I loved how bright this new space is. Very welcoming and clean. All the managers kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Lola, Bradley, and Joel thank yall so much. Food was a 10/10 as always. I got the grilled chicken club with potato salad and hubby got the Angus beef club with chicken tortilla soup. He got the seasonal pumpkin pecan cookie and I got a brookie. Tried the witches brew, which was pretty sweet for me so I added unsweetened tea to it, the BEST! We will be returning for sure. Love it here!

    Opened my food to find a bug in the container...

    Opened my food and found a bug crawling around in the container. Won't be eating here again.

    When pictures speak a thousand words - is that the new 6-inch sub at McAlister?

    Ordered a 6" cuban yesterday, but it falls a little (a lot) shorter. And they charge you for their regular price. Horrible ways to cut corners.

    Un chopped red onions.

    Tried the brand new location. Its nice but I don't see much difference of the interior. I ordered chili just to go onna check out the new spot. Chili was fine however I asked for some chopped red onion for sprinkling on top. I received a bowl full of uncut onions. What am I supposed to do with these? If I was eating on the run...this would be ridiculous. I chopped them when I got home but if I wanted to prepare my own food I wouldn't have paid you. This is just pure laziness and unthoughtful of your customers. I don't trust this kitchen. I'm an app holder and frequent diner. However if this is the work product I don't want anything else from here

    The customer service by general manager, Leo Bucaliu, was beyond terrible. My wife and I placed an online order to expedite the process and after over half an hour of waiting past our estimated completion time, Leo claimed that the order was never submitted to the kitchen. And this was after a different employee told me that the order "will be ready soon." The order was supposed to be ready for pick-up at 11:38am and I did not get it until 12:10pm. Leo offered no apology or compensation - this is entirely unacceptable from a large retail restaurant.

    Nice to have outdoor dining option, but maybe a little more distancing?

    UPDATE: Thank you, Makayla, for responding to my pickle issue. We appreciate your gesture to make things right, and we'll be back again soon! We've been coming to McAlister's Deli for many years and really like their sandwiches (especially the muffaletta, which has been dropped). I've been leery of dining out for the past several months, though, due to covid. Lately, we've ventured out for more takeout. Their sandwiches have always been pricey, but they are worth it because of the quality and quantity of the meat. They really pile it on and it is delicious. Usually, there's enough for us to split one order or save half for later. The staff is always friendly and seem to be taking the necessary precautions for covid. I can't testify to the cleanliness of the tables, since we haven't been dining in. Hopefully, they are more on the ball than they were before the pandemic, when table cleanup didn't seem to be a high priority. This week, we both ordered the New Yorker sandwiches. The layers of corned beef and pastrami tasted great and the swiss cheese, mustard and marbled rye made it delightful. The mac & cheese sides had the usual creamy texture that we're used to. I should have learned, though, that it is best to verify that the order is correct before driving home. The last 2 visits have resulted in the disappointment of missing out on the dill pickle spears. The first time, I didn't think much of it, but when it happened again on Monday, I decided to call the number on my receipt and ask about it. The girl that answered the phone told me that they don't give out pickles anymore, unless you ask for them. How was I supposed to know that I needed to ask for a pickle??? She said she wanted me to talk to the manager, because he might want to do something for me. I suppose he might ask me if I want the 4 dill pickle spears that I had missed out on?? Well, no, that didn't happen. He explained that it was a corporate decision to hold the pickles unless the customer asks for them. I guess that sort of cleared it up. Reminded me of years ago when American Airlines saved tens of thousands of dollars by eliminating olives from salads they served. Anyway, the manager also explained that the online orders contain a checkbox for requesting a pickle. Well, we ordered old school, at the counter. He said he was trying to train his employees to ask if customers wanted pickles, but I guess we just need to remember to request them. Not a big deal, McAlister's but I see from other reviews that this policy seems to rub other people the wrong way. Sometime in the near future, will I have to request 2 slices of bread with my sandwich?

    First time trying CraftWay Kitchen Plano and I had a really good experience. Emma was our server…read moreand she was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the Pineapple Martini, which was really good, and the Blackened Shrimp & Grits, which had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The food came out quickly, the atmosphere was nice, and the service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend asking for Emma if you get the chance!

    For as many times as I've been here, I cannot believe I haven't left a review…read more I recently completed a 5K run in the area and wanted some place to go to refuel. I remembered that Craftway Kitchen was nearby and immediately headed there. I arrived just as they were opening which was great as there was not a wait to be seated. The staff here is always super friendly and they come across like they really enjoying being there. The inside seating includes table/chair combos, booths as well as bar seating. Weather permitting, they also have a relatively large patio which contains seating. As for the food, I have never had a bad meal here. From the French Toast to the Breakfast Tacos and everything in between, the food is consistently delicious. While all my visits have been for brunch, they have an extensive dinner menu with lots options that I hope to check out in the near future. If you are in the area and looking for an a great dining experience, I highly recommend Craftway Kitchen.
