McAlister's Deli opened in 1989 and now has 400 stores in 28 states. They promote healthy, tasty, choices in a relaxing atmosphere with great sweet tea. Attending Riverfest we we approached by a couple promoting McAlister's and they gave us two passes for two free meals. I reluctantly accepted them thinking there must be something else to this deal. Maybe you receive two free meals after spending $100.00 or something like that. I would later be surprised to find out we received two complete free meals, dessert and great tea for free. I really like the option of two smaller menu choices as I wanted a sandwich and a loaded potato. There are so many different choices to choose from as you will see many one of a kind combinations. The unsweetened tea was amazing and the service was fun and relaxed. The restaurant was immaculate and the restrooms were spotless.

This was a little gem that was hiding in the Crestview Hills center right there in plain sight. They have a huge menu particularly on the sandwich side. Hopefully over the coming years I'll bring you a good bit of their offerings and let's start with the first... Horseradish Roast Beef And Cheddar Mac And Cheese Limeade What Is It: The sandwich comes with black Angus roast beef, sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onions (which I left off), and of course horseradish. The sandwiches come with a pickle and a side which I got mac and cheese. I got limeade because I wanted limeade. Presentation: Well they went with the smallish items on the huge, square, white plate approach. On one hand it makes things look tiny on the other hand there's plenty of room for everything. Probably better that way. 6 out of 10 Taste/ Final Analysis: The beef was very well flavoured on it's own which is very important. The ciabatta bread worked well for this as did the delicious sharp cheddar cheese. I wish they would have put more horseradish on it although I acknowledge that may be my crazy, slicy taste buds talking. Still considering they titled the sandwich after horseradish I think they were very light handed with it. The mac and cheese was pretty stock and boring as was the limeade. The sandwich I ate and huge menu are definitely enough to draw me back although if you're like me and you get this sandwich get some extra horseradish. Thumbs mostly up here.

Picked up my Caesar salad.

They're always nice when I order or pickup. Even when I door dash they're quite nice. The food is delicious and worth the price. It's not super expensive either, you pay a fair amount of money for great food. It's a cute place and would be wonderful to have family time, friends hanging out, or even a date. I got a grilled chicken Caesar salad today, which is my usual, and it's always great.

Ice tea and homemade cookies

Visited this store after their team provided a vip pass at a local festival. That was the first great touch point they made with us. So when we tried this store we did not know what to expect. What we found was excellence from the customer service at the register to the delicious food. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you to McAlister's for the first meal. We will be back!

Those are not grilled onions!

Ugh. Tried to give McAllisters another chance. Put in a carry out order of the horseradish cheddar roast beef sandwich. Got home and started to eat it and found it full of raw sliced red onions! What??? It clearly states on the menu the onions are GRILLED. I've had issues the past three times I've been there with food being prepared incorrectly and with lousy customer service. I sure hope they get things turned around, as it has been our go to restaurant for years. Management: please step it up and read these reviews!

Chili and Chef Salad
Brianna B.

This is a pretty nice McAlister's location. It's pretty clean for the most part. Only thing that was a little weird is that they seemed a little understaffed for lunch time because they only had one register open and the lady running it seemed to be doing a lot of other stuff. The food was good (although the soup could have been hotter but I ate it first)! Chef salad was really yummy!

Hey, get you some iced tea. It is pretty darn good. I had the Ruben and had to share it. Their baked potato was as big as the plate. Pretty good food. This is not a sit down and get waited on place. You place your order at the counter, get a number and have a seat. Quick and very friendly.

I've finally found a new go-to restaurant for when I'm flying out of CVG! My usual favorite is…read moreTousey House, but they aren't open for dinner on Sundays so I needed to find an alternative. Fort Mitchell Public House Bar and Grill checks all of my boxes. The first thing I look for is a nice patio. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating today, but I will be back for this fabulous patio. I was there before the dinner rush, which explains the emptiness of the restaurant. More people started arriving after 5:00. There were so many yummy sounding choices on the menu that it was hard to decide. I asked my server, Erin, what she recommends and she said the CAJUN BOURBON FILET TIPS were her favorite. I went with that and was not disappointed. The filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It is served over mashed potatoes and topped with onion straws. While the beef portion was small, it was a satisfying meal and the flavors were perfection! I added a side Caesar salad. Their house-made croutons were so good and the dressing was tasty and perfectly portioned. I don't often order dessert, but decided to splurge tonight and got a slice of the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake to-go. OMG, this is one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. It was light and dense at the same time, if that makes sense. So creamy and melt in your mouth delicious. I will dream about it tonight LOL.

We had dinner here tonight and the service was so slow. We had appetizers served and it was a long…read moretime before our server returned to take our dinner order. We should have just left at that point but our kids were hungry. Dinner was finally served and it was good, but no one seemed very concerned about how long we waited. We asked for our check and then we were given the wrong, much more expensive check. I'm not sure if they were understaffed but the restaurant was only half full when we arrived. I wish we hadn't dropped $90 on this dinner.

Instead, I got something shocking... Actual great pizza!!! The wood-fired crust comes out blistered and charred just enough to whisper, "I went to Italy for a semester and didn't come back with a man bun." It's crispy outside, chewy inside ... the kind of texture that makes you forget every sad, floppy chain pizza you've ever eaten in a strip mall next to a vape store. The toppings? Legit. We're talking San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, hot honey, and fancy meats that sound like they have their own passport. And here's the real shocker: It's not pretentious. Nobody lectures you about "mouthfeel." Nobody asks if you want your pizza "deconstructed." Nobody serves it on a wooden plank shaped like Vermont. It's just seriously good pizza ... the kind that makes you say, "Wow, maybe civilization isn't collapsing after all." And the wood-fired flavor? Smoky, slightly charred, and rich...like it was baked by a Tuscan grandmother who also owns a flamethrower. The owner just showed me their home made pasta dish for the Friday in Lent. Looks amazing!! Thank you Patrick for the tip!!

Chicken wings are amazing…read more Service is fabulous and the pretzel and popcorn mix was delicious! Found this hidden gem from a referral. A gym goer said chicken wing day! And that's all it took. Ambiance - I'd say the vibe is chill and calm. You can walk in and go unnoticed or you can hang and joke with the regulars. The entire experience was enjoyable

Seems like Peewee's is a hidden gem…read more We stopped by there for breakfast last weekend. We had known the place existed because we had friends who played volleyball there (they have a sand volleyball court next to the restaurant), but had never had the occasion to stop by. This place does not pretend to be anything else besides what it is - an unpretentious, locally-owned/locally-serving bar/restaurant where you know exactly what you'll get. I loved the old signage on the walls and the overall vibe. It's just a straight-up local comfort joint. Food was not anything to write home about but it also was exactly what I was looking for, if that makes sense; filling, short-order breakfast fare. I'm not coming to a place like Peewee's looking for bold gastronomic experiences - I want strong coffee and fatty breakfast food. Apparently Peewee actually came out from the kitchen as well and was greeting and joking with some of the regulars - super cool to see. On the whole, had a great experience here, and would definitely come back.

This restaurant offers an eclectic mix of various dishes at very reasonable prices. Sandwiches,…read morepizza, pasta, salads, burgers (including bison-containing one), hummus, vegetables and other delicious items are available. For an appetizer, we ordered the Hummus. We could have just shared this platter for our lunch if we had known the amount of food that came with the dish. The portion sizes were large. It had two heaping mounds of hummus, ample warm pita bread triangles, thick cucumber slices, hardy carrot sticks and spicy pepperocinis all over a "bed" of kalamata olives. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was delectable. My sister had the "Rod & Reel" lunch special, which is a choice of soup/salad and 1/2 a sandwich with a side. Her salad was a meal all by itself. She ended up taking home part of the salad and all of the sandwich. I tried the Willow sandwich. It's a delectable mix of avocado , lettuce, tomato , smoked turkey and mayo on ciabatta bread with a side of blue tortilla chips. I too, took my sandwich home because I was full from sharing the hummus appetizer. Everything about this restaurant was appealing to me. The staff and service were friendly and accommodating. Because the restaurant originated in Montana, all of the pictures and decor reminded one of hard-working people on an expansive ranch with animals and surrounded by family and down-to-earth friends. I really enjoyed the lunch experience.

The kiddos ordered pizza and I opted for the famous meatloaf with a side Greek salad instead of veggies. It was all delicious.
