Chef Salad with a LOT of Ranch Dressing and Black Pepper... DELICIOUS!!!
Rogers J.

Several years ago, when I worked in the Wolfchase area of Memphis, I would have a McAlister's Chef Salad (with LOTS of Ranch Dressing and Black Pepper) at least once a week. Two ladies I worked with would laugh and say, "You just made a healthy salad a Fat-Bomb!" Recently, I had been craving one. So at 5:14 pm on 06/30/21, I called in an order to the Cordova location. The young man that took my order (Cashier 5) was pleasant and professional. When I picked up my order, a delightful young lady with a pink backpack (Cashier 4) was exceptionally engaging with me and the customer before me. KUDOS to the McAlister's Cordova Team... the food was Very Good and customer service was EXCELLENT!!!

Savannah Chopped Salad and Spicy Turkey Melt
Natasha M.

I have been to this location on many occasions and am never disappointed and today was no exception. I ordered on the app and it was quick and easy to make my selection. I even had a reward for a free drink, which I redeemed. The new Savannah chopped salad was delish! Excellent mix of chicken slices , cranberries, and veggies. It would be worth eating just the salad. However since I'm indecisive, I did the "Pick 2" and also got the spicy turkey melt, which was fantastic as usual. It was served fresh & hot and had just the right amount of cheese and spice. I recommend them both. Also my blackberry lemonade was terrific! The service was also impeccable. I did not wait long, but the manager made sure my order was being prepared and he brought it right out to me.

Grilled Chicken King Club Black Angus Roast Beef Spud

Food was delivered. Chicken bacon ranch sandwich had no chicken on it and was thrown in the container. Potato that was supposed to have gravy had none. No straws with drinks. Update- went back for the second time and order was wrong. NEVER AGAIN!

Stopped by for lunch while visiting the Memphis. Ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad that arrived at my table in the biggest bowl I've ever seen, lol! I could only eat 1/4 of it however if I were a cow I could have grazed for weeks and produced at least several gallons of milk!! Next time I'll take three friends with me to split a salad!

picked up some dinner on the way to work. very disappointed with my sandwich at this location i ordered choose 2; mcalister's club and broccoli cheddar soup. open my sandwich to find OLD NASTY spring mix!

King club and potato salad!
Kristen G.

Who doesn't love Mcalister's!? Always delicious everytime! It's my go to spot for soups, salads, sammies, and spuds! My favorite thing to get is the choose two. I get the king club sandwich and either a salad or the everything baked potato, but everything on the menu always tastes great! Oh and of course the famous sweet tea!!! If you don't mind slightly higher prices, this is a great spot for lunch!

Even our kids love McAlister's!

This is our favorite McAlester's in the area to visit! The food is always fresh and the staff is above & beyond friendly and helpful. We also love the tea bar set up so you can make and mix your own tea. I like to do a sweet/unsweet tea mix and can get it exactly how I want it. We also LOVE kids night where kids eat for free. All these things have us coming back EVERY single week - sometimes more than once a week! Thanks to the staff for all the hard work they put in & for making that tea impossible to stay away from!!!

This location has been disappointing on To Go orders..This has happened several times. When you order a bowl of soup to go, it's never full. The manager did fix my issue, but its almost everytime. The picture shows what I got for $4.99..and shouldn't have to tell them to fill it up everytime.

Hard corned beef and inch thick instead of shaved that was on my Reuben

I excused them the first time my king club was very small with only turkey missing the other meat with almost a bag full of lettuce. Okay... everyone has a bad day. No I tried them again today and instead ordered a Reuben as a choose 2. The corn beef was an inch thick hard, would not tear or pull apart. I called the manager and he non chalantly told me this is how corned beef is supposed to be. Negative first of all it should be shaved. After telling me he would refund me $3.02 for the sandwich only I corrected him and he changed his mind to refund the entire choose 2. Customer Service from management was a zero. We Will not visit this location again. They are too expensive to receive food of awful quality.

The food and service were excellent. Many people kept checking on me to make sure I was OK. Can't get better service in Cordova.

The restaurant was not overly busy, which made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable from the moment we walked in. The first thing that stood out was the service. Everyone there was welcoming, patient, and genuinely friendly. Since it was our first time trying a few things on the menu, we had several questions, and the staff took the time to explain everything without making us feel rushed. They gave recommendations, explained the toppings and flavors, and helped make ordering easy. I decided to try the specialty hot dogs, and honestly, they were amazing. They were packed with flavor and loaded with fresh toppings that worked perfectly together. The combination of creamy avocado, fresh vegetables, sauces, and perfectly cooked meat created a unique flavor that was both fresh and filling. Every bite had something different going on, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. The presentation alone looked incredible, but the taste backed it up completely. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy good food with family or friends. Nothing felt rushed, and the overall vibe made the experience even better. If you are looking for something different from the usual restaurant options and want flavorful food with friendly service, Las Tortugas is definitely worth visiting. We will absolutely be coming back again.

Whoa! Truly SMOKED meat, not 1/2 smoked, then fried...just smoked. This place came highly…read morerecommended by our local family. Started with their take on a charcuterie board- Sausage, peperjack and chedder cheeses, with pepperchinis for the table. It was a smack of smoke and meat that made me scream YES on the inside. It was also enough to share with 5 other people. For my main I ordered the dry bologna sandwich which basically meas a seasoned bologna with turnip greens and coleslaw. Delicious!! The sandwich was a nostalgic treat of which I added mustard and by the waitresses suggestion... the coleslaw. Not everyone offers this item and it did not disappoint on that soft bun and slightly caramelized edges. The greens were good ole country goodness. Traditional taste, seasoned well with meat. Also tried a rib and smoked chicken wing. The rib was good, but I've had better. It didn't fall off the bone like I'm used to and without sauce it tasted pretty bland. The chicken wing was absolutely scrumptious. It had a bold smoke flavor, tender, juicy, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I'll be back for those. Sweet Tea is freshly brewed and was good. Banana pudding is homemade and was also very good. Service was kind, prompt and attentive. Pricing was ok...seems everything is going up nowadays. Not the worst, not the best. Ambiance was clean and typical of most BBQ joints. Appreciated the fact that they had a wash area OUTSIDE of the bathroom. A vibe that sends the message of 'roll up your sleeves and dive in, this meal is gonna be messy' and I was there for it. Keeping this place on my list the next time I'm in the area.
