    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.

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

Prices are average, some things priced high, like Salmon/Beef but overall the portions are plenty to share. We visited right at lunchtime, only about 3 or 4 other patrons visiting as well. Greeted immediately and picked our own table near the kitchen/register area. Service was prompt and friendly. Menu choices were perfect. Since it was lunch, we decided to share the Hummus Shawarma, delicious tender cuts of beef, with crispy pita chips and warm pita bread. Loved the Hummus with tender Beef Shawarma, hit the spot. We also shared the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Honestly this wasn't my favorite dish. It was just okay in my opinion. I did add some Hummus to the wrap and that seemed to kick it up a notch. Ambiance is ok, the entrance might be off-putting tucked away in a tiny business strip, don't be fooled the food is worth the try. I would definitely return for supper next time. They do not serve alcohol however I did see the table over with a bottle of wine brought from Home, I assume, the waitperson even brought over a chill decanter for the wine bottle and glasses, so there is that. I did have the Ginger ale, really good and fresh.

First of all, I want to give a very special thank you to Brooke, our server, for the warm, friendly, and attentive service she gave us. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and Brooke made our family meal even more enjoyable. And then there are the pizzas... absolutely incredible! I ordered the Trentino, with what I believe was prosciutto, and for someone like me, originally from Spain, who really misses Spanish ham, it was such a wonderful surprise. It was absolutely delicious. My wife had the vegetarian pizza, and it was fantastic as well. Everything was perfectly accompanied by a Peroni, which made the experience even better. I also want to mention something that, as a parent, I truly appreciate: the kids' menu is completely free. That is such a wonderful touch, especially when you're eating out with your family. What we loved most is how authentic the pizzas feel. They truly stay faithful to the Neapolitan pizza tradition of Naples, Italy. You can taste the quality, the care, and the passion in every bite. If you're anywhere around here, stop by Odis Pizza and give it a try. We left absolutely delighted and already feeling like this is a place we would love to come back to. Thank you, Brooke, and thank you to the entire Odis Pizza team for such a wonderful meal and such a warm experience.

The meatballs & pasta was to die for. The pizza is fresh and hot. Only downside is it kind of falls apart easily, which is a caution if you have younger kids. The servers are great at being attentive and checking on you frequently, which should be a given when you're in a smaller place. Don't worry about how you're dressed, it could be a nicer night out if you want it to be, but also expect people to look like they've come from the beach.

For mainland I'd give it a 3.5. First place I have tried in Texas but will keep searching for better before I consider coming back. Service was good. Staff was friendly. Served chipotle style, build as you go. Other then that, that's the extent of your interaction. The ambiance was nice, quiet, relaxing, with cafeteria vibes. Nothing super fancy but it was clean. Pretty dead for 1230 in the afternoon. Pros: -Lots of toppings. They mix them for you. -Milk Tea also served (a lot of options for toppings as well) Cons: -The imitation crab they use is not the typical crab salad I'd typically see in a poke bowl. It does not carry the sweet, meaty flavor of the stringier version. It resembles the imitation crab you buy in a can. -The flavor was off. I could not pinpoint it but it was kind of bland, slightly fishy/metallic tasting. It could have been the imitation crab. Not sure. -Bubble tea was not my fav. I just got the original but that could have been a poor choice on my part. -The 3 protein bowl with a milk tea came out to $18 and change. Seemed like a lot for a poke bowl/drink for the quality.

The lamb on the salad had good texture overall, though some pieces were a bit too crispy around the edges. The pita was also crunchier than I personally prefer. The restaurant itself looked a little rundown inside, and the upholstery on the seating was pretty shredded, although it sounds like they may be redoing it soon. Not a bad experience by any means, and the staff was pleasant. I'd consider coming back and giving it another try, but I'd definitely be hoping for a little more flavor next time
