    Grilled Chicken on a Croissant with Potato Salad
    Richard Walton C.

    I stopped off at this location for the first time because I knew their dining room would not be closed and because I know their menu well. I ordered the Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich which comes on a croissant. I didn't have to hold any ingredients because there weren't any exotic ones on it. I'm not a fan of honey mustard sauce but this sandwich was not overwhelmingly covered in it. It was a light application just enough to compliment the sandwich as it should be. For my side I chose the Potato Salad. Both items were excellent! The sandwich will be a new favorite of mine to reorder the next time. I arrived before the lunch rush and had plenty of choices for a table. By the time I left, it was somewhat crowded and the tables were filling up fast. Tip: when eating out of town, always look for the place with the most cars.

    Southwest Chicken & Avocado Salad
    Rachel S.

    Wow, we really liked the salads we got from this place! The southwest chicken salad was very fresh and a good size. The avocado was actually fresh, real avocado. We tried the chipotle ranch and honey mustard dressing and I liked both of them honestly - The honey mustard was nice and sweet and tangy and the chipotle ranch wasn't spicy but kind of smoky. We heated up the chicken at home (just personal preference) and add a little bit of pepper. I've never been to this chain before but it's definitely a nice go-to in a convenient location for me, and I would be interested in checking out their specials. The staff was also friendly when we picked it up, and it looked like a nice place to eat inside honestly, with lots of booths and private space.

    That was delicious! I ordered the Savannah salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, sweet tea and chocolate chip cookie. The salad is huge! And no one has a better sweet tea and chocolate chip cookie. If you're a fan of baked potatoes, McAlister's also offers great options. I'm staying overnight in Columbus and McAlister's offered delivery for a small fee, plus tip (making it about $5 more than picking it up). The online ordering system was easy to understand and gave me an opportunity to include requests. My two requests were delivered - nice! GrubHub brought it to me direct to my door within the estimated time. I also was able to use the Yelp app to see a live status on my order. The only request I'd make is to get a copy of my receipt with the order (for an expense report) but I can use the email confirmation.

    A first rate example of this pleasant "order at the counter and they bring to your table" place. The salads, soups and sandwiches we had are all first rate. The staff is unusually friendly. An unusual feature is the "pickle buffet" - three types on the condiment table with plates for your use.

    I enjoy McAlisters Deli..the restaurant was clean, the staff friendly and the food was good. I do however think they are slightly overpriced. We went for lunch because kids meals $2.79 but we still ended up spending $35 for a family of 5..2 adults, 3 kids we got 2 half and half meals, one soda, 3 kids meals with only water. I will say the pickle and banana pepper bar is great.

    Their Grilled Chicken is so good, plus the potato soup!

It started out awkward because the menu still said "spring" at the last of the dog days of July and several beverages on the menu were "we're out". Then the "Elderberry Fizz" drink had not one fizzy bubble! We asked and they said that despite the name, the drink is flat. Huh? The Taxman beer was nice and the carbonation was just right. On to the food ... happy to find that the grilled cheese which is on local sourdough bread and stuffed with a nice amount of spinach could be ordered without bell peppers. It came with choice of side and she chose "Indiana mustard potato salad". Since she is from Indiana thought it funny that which part was "Indiana". I ordered the fish tacos small plate. The chef came out in person to make sure that fresh ahi grade tuna was ok (!) because so many people assume that tacos would have fried fish. He also guaranteed that not a bell pepper would be in site. We were sitting outside on their extensive patio and the beautiful food came out. We could not believe our luck. The $10 tacos were gorgeous and delicious, a bit spicy. The grilled cheese was more than the ordinary. The potato salad was quite good and a little sweet. If we lived in Columbus we would want to know about this great deal - a nice different meal for a Friday night or something.

I had anticipated my visit for a little while now but I can imagine I'd be delighted to find this spot on an adventure through the area. The vast plant nursery was also delightfully unexpected. The inside of the Farmhouse is just like a farmhouse, with the most charming interior that feels like Thanksgiving dinner with a collection of all the tables and chairs that you could find in your house to host everyone. First course, delightfully unexpected, was queso and chips! Free of charge, we were served a nice Rotel-style queso dip with multigrain chips. Yum! The tea selection is nice, it's all bagged teas that you get a small pot of. I got a salted caramel tea. Delish! Delightfully unexpected! I got the chicken salad sandwich with kettle chips.

The ham sandwich was a bit skimpy on the amount of ham. The quiche was a bit overcooked. All in all it was a delightful girls outing as we also walked around the flower and herb garden.

I will start off with the positives: the atmosphere was nice and I was greeted by friendly staff and shown to the bar were I received good service. Now to the reason I would not recommend. I ordered a cocktail from the menu and it was served in less than 20 seconds. Speed is great, but for the price of the cocktail, I was not expecting a cocktail that they had pre-mixed, which was what I was served (and that lack of attention was evident in the flavor). The cocktail wasn't bad, but sure not up to the standards of the price (and price is only an issue in the absence of value). Next came the charcuterie board...it was 3 stacks of salami (not even good salami), pickled beats, raw red onions, raw jalapeno slices, some pitted Kalamata olives, cornichons, a small wedge of brie, a couple of slices of a white cheddar, a tiny scoop of goat cheese, and a raspberry vinaigrette. This all came with a side of boxed crostinis, which I was told "let us know if you need more". When I asked about there only being salami on the board, the staff said, "yeah, its a salami heavy board"...with which I asked, "do you have anything other than salami?" and he said he would ask the chef. 3 minutes later they came out and said that was all they had and did I want another appetizer. All of the other appetizer (3 in total) were not of the same value nor were they what I had come into the restaurant for, so I said "it is fine". I ate 1/4 of the board (the pickled beats were the shinning star) and asked for my ticket, which I assumed would include my $20 cocktail, the bottle of wine I ordered, and some discount for the poor excuse of a charcuterie board, but there was no compromise / disount for their board's lack of variety or quality. I didn't protest, but I certainly want others to know that the quality here certainly isn't worth the price.
