I first tried this restaurant in NC and so glad I get to have it around in SC ! The food is delicious something new I thought was brilliant was their spuds they offer man those things look delicious next time I definitely need to get me that. I had the sweet chipotle chicken sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese! And my friend had the pick 2 offer a spud and sandwich which if you're trying to have something gluten free they can accommodate! The ambiance here fits the place such a cute little spot plenty of space and the people here are helpful and courteous. Check this place out there's lots to try out

Stopped here on a road trip and I wish we had one back home! I got the Sweet and Spicy Chicken sandwich with chips and a lemonade tea. My fiancé got the Spicy Southwest Chicken sandwich with potato salad. It has a calm atmosphere and the staff was polite while we ordered. I would absolutely recommend McAlister's!

I've been hear about half a dozen times and every time the food and service was good. The food has always been fresh and good portion size. The interior is clean. No complaints, not sure why this location has so many poor reviews. Highly recommend.

Was catered to my office today and I must say the food was amazing, and STILL warm once it arrived. Definitely recommend.

I usually get good service and the food looks good, but what I got on Tuesday evening looked like they saved some for themselves and threw mine in the to go container. very dis with my choose two nachos.

I asked for a wrap.

I used to love McAlister's but it's gone so downhill. Orders always wrong or missing items. I was missing my side of Mac and cheese and my brookie. The Ruben, i requested a wrap and I got a messy thrown together sandwich on rye. I understand it's short staffed everywhere but it's ridiculous that it's messed up EVERY TIME I pick up my order. Id recommend checking your bag and what's inside of the boxes before leaving the store since clearly no one pays attention to the item details and they could care less about your order. Also I think their "chili" is Hormels hot dog chili lol

Club sandwich

I ordered this as a late-night meal for my hotel.I ordered through doordash and it was delivered within 20 minutes of the time that I ordered it. The macaroni and cheese was mediocre at best but the club sandwich was very good. My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what you expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 means something was extra special and a 5 means you were blown away. A 2 star rating was disappointing and a 1-star rating is terrible

If I say no bacon I Mean no bacon. I have an allergy to bacon I order my food to go make it very clear no bacon or pork at all. And I get a whole lot of bacon on my plate once I open it when I got home. Starting breaking out in hives as soon as I opened the box. Smh I paid 35$ for 2 of these the same way and y'all literally added a whole pig on my sandwich.

This is the slowest service. Hire more people. No one should ever order ahead, and wait 35-40 minutes.

Not my favorite deli. Wife enjoys it. Me, just not a great deli. Typical American fare. I just go and enjoy time with her.

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

I've only tasted their pimento cheese at the festival and the original is phenomenal! I'd purchase…read moreagain. Friendly staff! I'd definitely check out their restaurant/deli soon!

We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were. On a scale of 10 we would rate it as a 7.3 on the ROMEO scale...Yelp scale we'll give it a 4.0

I went on a weekday morning when it wasn't too packed, and I really enjoyed the authentic deli ambiance, which isn't the easiest thing to find in this neck of the woods. My server (whose name I didn't catch) was such a sweetheart and did an amazing job of making sure my drinks were re-filled, my food was delivered on time, and was proactive in offering me a cup of coffee to-go. After my meal, I enjoyed wandering around the other side of the restaurant for a few minutes, which included a cigar room, an enormous wine cellar, and a host of fine cheeses that I had never heard of before! All-in-all, I really enjoyed The Gourmet Shop, will definitely be back in the future, and would recommend it to anybody in the area who's looking for an authentic deli experience!

They have wonderful sandwiches and the best tomato bisque in town (order with a side of Fresh Bread). Their chicken, shrimp and pimento cheese are all fan favorites!

Gourmet Shop is the best spot in 5 Points!
