    I keep finding reasons to why I dislike this place so much. What's the point of customizing your food if you can't even get it right? Ordered half McAlister's Club and half Savannah Salad. For less than $10 it's a steal. Not... To my surprise the sandwich was lacking in every department you could possibly imagine! Puny pieces of turkey, and half a pathetic slice of bacon which I had to pick out. I also asked for other veggies and they were missing from my order. The bread consumed most of the sandwich. Biting into it all I could taste was bread and cheese, no deli meat because it was practically nonexistent!! The salad on the other hand was plentiful. It was a meal on its own while my husband's sandwich was made perfectly. This was the final straw. The food here sucks, don't waste your time on mediocre food that you can make so much better at home or get somewhere else that's worth your money!

    I love McAlisters Deli. There is only one location in the city. Staff is always usually pleasant. Service isn't super fast but you never have to wait super long. When you order I line the order is always pretty accurate. I rated it 3 stars because the restaurant is never clean. From the floor to the tables to waiting bench near the to go area. For this reason I never dine in.

    Staff was courteous and efficient. We came in right at a dinner rush and yet the food came in a timely manner, I enjoyed the veggie sandwich. I would give five stars but the house salad is sad and is the epitome of the reason people hate salads.

    serving sizes are good. plenty of food. some sandwiches are lacking but the broccoli soup is amazing. with food cost on the rise pricing isn't too bad.

    There is even a Lenten menu for those observing the season.

    Three and a half stars for reasonably priced, reasonably fresh food served with always friendly--but inconsistent--service. If you're not in a hurry and want a wholesome, filling meal, this is your place. Mcallister's features a broad menu of fresh salads, sandwiches, and soups that hit the spot rain or shine! Quality ingredients, flavor, and value alone would make this establishment a solid 4 star recommendation. Portions are generous--salads are HUGE, even the "cup" of soup is more like a bowl-sized serving, and potatoes are gi-normous! I recommend the half and half (half salad, half soup or sandwich option) as it offers the best of both fresh and hearty made with healthful, whole ingredients. Big kudos to the "spud ole!", a heaping helping of cheese, chili, salsa and jalapeños --highly recommended for those partial to starchy carbs. Counter service often has a line to the door, as McAlister's is quite popular with the lunch crowd. Family friendly ambience is welcoming and staff take orders with a smile and fine Coastal Bend hospitality. The only potential blemish to sully McAlister's otherwise quad-stellar rating in my book is the spotty wait time for odd things. On more than one occasion I have waited more than 20 minutes for my meal to be served. One time, we waited more than 15 minutes before being advised that there was no chili left--Something that really should've been apparent at the time of ordering or shortly after. Improved attention from management would likely prevent such snafus from occurring and eliminate long wait times for pre-prepared items such as salads and soups. Despite the potentially long wait times, McAlisters remains one of my favorite options for value, quality, and freshness in the coastal bend!--I just come when I am not rushed and can enjoy a leisurely meal.

    Caesar Salad with Avocado.

    Always get our order incorrect or have missing items. Also, paid extra for avocado with my order and I literally a tiny slice.

With three younger kids, finding somewhere that they enjoy and that the adults also appreciate can sometimes be a challenge. On this visit, my cousin's wife recommended Surfside Sandwich Shoppe, so we met her and her two kids there and also invited some friends who live on the island. The first challenge was actually finding the place. Even with GPS, it's surprisingly easy to drive past because it's difficult to see until you're almost directly alongside it. Parking was also very limited and a little challenging with our group. Inside, most of the space is occupied by the kitchen and bar, while the outdoor seating area is considerably larger. The outdoor area worked well for the kids, with a chalkboard and some large stackable toys to keep them occupied. I ordered the Cuban Press, while the kids went with burgers. They also have a pretty extensive drink menu. We tried the margaritas, which were okay, although smaller than I expected. Unfortunately, the food took a very long time to come out, and a couple of things got lost along the way. They forgot our mozzarella and marinara appetizer as well as the broccoli salad I had ordered as my side. My Cuban Press was very good, although it's not a traditional Cuban sandwich since they use pulled pork. Authentic or not, I enjoyed the sandwich and the accompanying sauce. The kids were happy with their burgers as well. I didn't get a chance to try the shrimp bisque, but others in our group had it and reported that it was excellent. Overall, there were things we liked, particularly my sandwich and the outdoor area for the kids, but the very long food wait and forgotten items made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been. With a larger group of kids, it also wasn't necessarily the easiest place for us. We might come back without the kids and sit inside to enjoy the bar, or I'd consider grabbing a sandwich to-go in the future. The Cuban was good enough that I'd certainly eat it again.

This sandwich, I am not kidding was so good and I make a lot of sandwiches, I could not have made one that tastes this good. I actually feel good after eating it because it was fresh and wholesome and so tasty. I asked that my sandwich not be heated, I wanted it cold with only the bread toasted then it was filled with turkey, sliced cheese, their scrumptious ham with the glaze, bacon, fresh leafy and a few really good tomato slices. I asked for some mayo on the side and he gave me several packs of Hellman's' real mayo along with several honey mustard packs and a mint! I don't post here much. This was worthy. I can't believe I have driven by hundreds of times and did not even know, their signage is poor and the building does not stand out so it's easy to miss along with the fact that I think we all believe they are only open at Thanksgiving and Christmas... and only serve ham not! I'm going back soon to try their ham and cheese sliders on Hawaiian buns. The Resturant itself was spotless, bright and well appointed and the gentleman who served me was very helpful and kind. They have been serving Corpus for 12 years and no one ever told me I'm in love
