    Cuban Sandwich
    Andrew G.

    I placed a delivery order for a Cuban Sandwich from the McAlister's Deli in Hilliard. The sandwich itself looked great when I opened the takeout box. The bread looked fresh. When I bit into it, the sandwich was very tasty. The top half of the bread was very crunchy on the top and soft after the crust. Unfortunately, the bottom half of the bread got soggy from the pulled sour pork they used. The portion of the meat and cheese were not bad, but at the price paid, seemed a bit light. Overall, the sandwich was good. I wish the pork was sliced, rather than pulled, like other Cuban sandwiches I have had. But, I will be ordering again as I want to try their other sandwiches.

    The food was mediocre, somewhat cold in the middle of the sandwich. The service was unbelievably poor. There were only 2 clean tables in the place, and I had asked a guy for napkins and he literally brought out 10 napkins wadded up in a ball.

    The Italian Sandwich and Savannah Chopped Salad

    We could have made our meal at home... nothing special about it. Meat in the Italian sandwich was cut way too thick, and the dressing made it soggy unlike other sandwich places, probably because the bread isn't toasted. It also appeared that instead of the grilled chicken that you can see in the savannah salad on the website, I was given shredded lunch meat instead! It was my first time here but I don't think I'll be back to try something else considering my experience. The iced tea was good.

    People waiting

    Well over 20 minutes and still no food. Place was not busy at all when we walked in. Maybe three couples in here. I think 9 of us are now standing here waiting for our food. 3.4 stars is far too generous. Panda across the street smelled so good when I walked in. I should have listened to my nose...

    Tomato & Cucumber Slaw - Side.  King Club no bun on a bed of salad.

    I love this place. Okay Keto people run to this place. They are not fooling around. Any sandwich on this menu will work, just be aware of the sauces. I ordered the BLT-A. Bacon about a pound, Lettuce Sliced tomatoes No bun They threw in ranch dressing on the side. This was a lot of food for the price. Give them a try, I recommend it. The ladies in the back do a great job. One of my favorite places to go.

    King Club
    Brian J.

    So close to 5 stars... So close... McAllister's King Club is the biggest, best value for a club sandwich anywhere. I purposely took a picture of the back side of the sandwich, because most pictures are that perfect shot of the middle, where every sandwich looks amazing. But this is the worst angle of the sandwich and it's still so pretty... I outlined one HALF of the sandwich. Yeah -- That's one half. The other side looks smaller because of the way it's crammed into the to-go box, because it's so gigantic. This thing is a beast. I've also had the New Yorker, which is pretty good. And I should mention that the potato salad is a great side. The only reason I took away one star is because I've also ordered the Memphian which is also awesome--when it's made right. But, two times I've had to send it back when it came to me with literally just bread and meat (no lettuce, tomato, onion, or cheese), and another time the bread was too stale to eat. This should be a smaller deduction, but Yelp doesn't allow partial stars, and I can't give it 5 in good conscious knowing they've gotten my order wrong a few times. But if the King Club sounds good to you, you are going to get a 5+ star sandwich every time. Again, that's HALF of the sandwich I outlined...

It was a good bit north of "well done." I asked for no pickle and got pickle. I really don't like the taste of pickle, but was not going to ask for a new burger just because it has some pickle juice on it. The bun was nicely grilled. I was not sure whether to get sweet potatoes fries or regular fries and the cashier offered a mix. I liked that and both types of fries were very good -- served hot and seemed like they were cooked in fresh and clean oil. The regular fries had just a touch of breading or batter, I think. The fries were the best part of my meal. No fountain soft drinks and just a soda in a can for $2. That's definitely a point against them. The store was extremely clean and it looks like they had good desserts. They have egg for their burgers which is a plus for me. They bill themselves as halal-friendly, that's good. Lots of vegetarian choices on the menu.

Or I've just been lucky. I did not expect to give this five stars, or to enjoy it quite as much as I did. I mean, it's a sandwich shop. Grinders used to be scattered around Columbus, and this might be the only one left. I used to go to the one by me all the time. This happened to be nearby today, and so I stopped in out of nostalgia. And it was pretty much what I remember. But a peak experience. Service was great, fast and friendly. The menu is pretty much the same as it always was. Lobster bisque was one of the soups of the day and I didn't expect it to be great quality, but it sounded good, and I got my usual club sub. Soup and drink, and bread for the soup (you could choose crackers) were up almost immediately. Sandwich took about 10 minutes, but that's of course because it's being toasted. The soup was fine, nothing special, strong sherry odor, lots of tiny bits of lobster. Pleasant enough, and served with a chunk of good bread. And they serve it piping hot in its own little crock with a metal spoon. Don't throw those in the trash. The sandwich was as good as I remember, maybe better. Good bread, loads of meat, tomatoes, and a honey mustard spread. I got a 6 inch and it seemed longer than that, although maybe my estimation skills are off... It was very tasty. Held together pretty well. I was stuffed. They have lots of salads, that is, pasta salad or potato salad, etc. They are always good, but I didn't have any room with the soup. The place was clean, it was steady at 1 PM but not packed. Plenty of parking in the big mall lot. I really enjoyed it. And as far as sandwich shops go, this is about as good as it gets.

    Every time I get Grinders, I'm a happy man. Used to get the subs but the Stromboli has done…read moresomething real to me. Fantastic place. Great atmosphere. It is obviously so well run and it seems to have 8 amazing 19 year olds doing so. Truly impressive every time I come, which is getting oftener.
