    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!

    McAlister's Club

    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.

    3.5, I think? This was a tough one for me to rate…read more My aunt lives near Las Tortugas and I've been reading about and thinking about visiting for years whenever I'm in the Memphis area. The stars aligned on this most recent visit and so I got to try them. This location in Germantown is a little easy to miss signage-wise, but Google Maps got me here easily. The parking lot is small but paved nicely and easy to navigate. The inside of the restaurant does feel like a deli, with a counter to order at and a small but reasonable amount of seating. The restaurant's accolades are plastered on walls and the glass windows around the food prep area and it's fun to read the history and writing about this place. There is one semi-essay seemingly from the owner, directed at patrons, grousing about customers having certain expectations about the food they're served (Tex-Mex versus authentic Mexican, for example). The owner is adamant that authentic Mexican is served here, and I have no reason to doubt that at all nor expect anything different, but I must admit the tone was rather off-putting. I can see how it would be frustrating to have your food, your work, be misunderstood or misinterpreted, but it kind of felt like I was being lectured when I hadn't done anything, lol. At any rate, I walked up to the counter to order. Service was adequately if not /especially/ friendly. I placed an order for a sandwich (Tortugas de pollo) as well as a limonada (fresh-squeezed limeade) to go. I waited at one of the tables and my order was ready for me in a reasonable amount of time. My favorite thing was the limonada! It had closer to an Icee texture than a juice or limeade texture but I really liked it. Pleasantly sweet and sour and very refreshing. The sandwich was good if not mind-blowing. Maybe my expectations were just a little too high. One problem was that it got pretty soggy very, very fast - it took me less than 10 minutes to get back to my aunt's house and unbox my food and in that time, the bottom piece of bread on my sandwich was close to falling apart. Some of the chicken was also a little too strong-tasting for me; it's hard to describe but I imagine we've all had chicken that's a little too obviously...well, chicken, lol. Not super mild tasting meat, I guess is what I'm trying to say. That aside, I enjoyed the texture of the cheese and the heat of the peppers. The top slice of bread was also nice and crusty. The sandwich came served with a handful of chips less generous than it appears in the photo and some green salsa. The chips were a little over-fried for me but decent enough, and the subtly spicy salsa went well with them. I think the greatest sticking point for me is the price vs. the quantity of food vs. the relative enjoyment. My meal was a solid bit over $30. I prooooobably could've split the sandwich with someone else and been okay, but given the relatively paltry amount of chips, I was also okay eating it as a solo diner. I think if the price had been a little lower, or the portion of chips a little bigger, or the enjoyment of the sandwich a little greater - any one of those things - this would probably round up to a 4. But ultimately the sticker shock and somewhat condescending vibes lead to a lower rating from me. Idk, I would definitely say this restaurant is worth a try and I'm glad I experienced it and would recommend trying it to others who enjoy this type of Mexican food. That said, I'm also not completely confident I'd return on another visit to Memphis. Well, okay, I would definitely for the limonada. That thing was awesome. ;)

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.

The Reuben was slightly less substantial but what it lacked in size was made up for in taste. The tasty corned beef, sauerkraut, and sauce was on a soft marble rye, beautiful blending of flavors. However, until I ordered and ate, the whole experience was a little frustrating. We are traveling and like to support kosher establishments. We did the research, seemed like they were open, we tried calling to confirm without any luck.... We even left multiple messages, as advised on their outgoing message. So when we arrived I saw the restaurant, knocked on the door, saw someone inside that I believe saw me, but still no luck. I joined the relatively long line of folks at the reception desk where I was told to just knock on the door of the restaurant. The receptionist called to the restaurant to tell them I was there. Then I placed my order with a nice person and the good food came out quickly. It's only take out which is fine. Too bad the process was so frustrating.

It is in inside the Memphis Jewish Home and Rehab off of Walnut grove near Forest Hill Irene. It is definitely a place the patients eat with the family members during visitation. I ordered the meat loaf that was soaked in a hearty slightly sweet tomato gravy--delicious! The green beans were really good and the mashed potatoes were really thick like I prefer and a rich buttery taste like granny's! I also had a slice of apple pie that was really good with slight firm apples and a doughy crust that was great. I will return for another Sunday special soon.

She needs a raise! They have a Little Clinic and they also do a great job. The Pharmacy is sometimes busy but you can call in your prescription and pick it up , I'm always greeted warmly.
