    Caesar Salad

    I legitimately cannot tell if the employees here just can't/don't read or if management has terrible training but my god - the order accuracy of their to go team is abysmal. I generally order a fairly plain Caesar salad to go about once a week. Lettuce, chicken, croutons. Basic. Not hard to screw up. Right? WRONG. The volume of the three ingredients you receive swings WILDLY from week to week. Sometimes there's a ton of lettuce. Sometimes very little. Sometimes lots of chicken! Sometimes two pieces. The croutons though... the croutons are the bane of my existence. I started ordering extra croutons. I basically only eat one meal a day and I would like to enjoy it. And several times, I got salads with either zero or just a skosh of croutons. So... I figure. Put extra on the ticket to ensure at least 1/3 of the order ends up correct. Usually, it's still not. "Extra croutons" seems to be code for "a very average amount of croutons" at this location. And I've said something before, to try to correct it before making some public review. But, today. TODAY. Well - I'm attaching a photo of my salad with extra croutons. At this point, I just laugh at the incompetence. Either the team isn't trained on how to read tickets, or they don't care to read tickets but neither is a great customer experience. If anyone has any better options for to go salads in the Denton area, I'm all ears!

    Came during my lunch and service was super quick, got my food 5 minutes after ordering and the ladies here were very nice! Food was so good! Deff coming back! Everything was clean and organized, such a calm vibe, music was chill

    I was craving something healthy since I do blood work in the morning. Salad and baked tater on point. So dadgum good. Just what the doctor ordered. Definitely a return to meal.

    We tried this location out for the first time a few weeks ago, when they had been opened a couple of months. We came in mid afternoon on a weekday, between rushes, so there were very few people there. I was struck by the fact that this place was immaculately clean and that they actually had enough staff on hand. The staff was very friendly and ordering was a pleasant process. The food was okay. My husband got the McAlisters Club and chips. The chips are Lays, so that's fine. However, he finished every bite of the club, and I don't think he finished it at the last location we went to, so he enjoyed it. While waiting on our food, I started digging in to my sugar cookie. It's a decent size for the price and it was pretty good. I like crispy edges, which this had, but the inside was a little too chewy for my preference. They have stickers on the back for when they were made, and I had a cookie that was made the same day. I've never been a big sandwich person, but I thought the Garden Fresh Turkey sandwich was pretty good. It was my first time trying the turkey at any of the locations and the taste was spot on. It was really messy though and fell apart easily. But I come for the soup and the soup wasn't right. The color wasn't right and the taste wasn't right, it either was on the burner too long on high, or it was just old. Honestly, it was inedible and I ate very little of it, putting my focus on the sandwich and side of fruit instead. The fruit was fresh and delicious! The manager left to do the bank deposit as we finished up. I took the drink to the counter to get a refill and mentioned they should redo their Broccoli Cheddar soup. As we were gathering our stuff, the girl who originally took my order came by to inquire for some details on what was wrong so she could have the kitchen redo it. They did ask if they could replace it, but my husband was finished, and I didn't really want to wait, so I declined. The staff was young and the manager was out, so I wasn't offered a refund, but I didn't ask for one either. I thought it was sweet that she was trying to do what she could. At this point, I was leaning towards 3 stars, but since the other items were good and the service was great, I felt 4 stars would be more fair. In the end I decided to leave my review in drafts until I could visit again and determine if this was a one off situation or not. I had some free meal cards from a while back that I had been told by someone in marketing I could use at any location, so I decided to use those in case I was disappointed with the soup again. We came back Wednesday after 6pm and they were packed. I was pleased to see the same girl who had originally helped me last time as she has excellent customer service skills. I showed my meal cards and she took them without issue, but when I was waiting on my drinks I heard the manager tell her that she shouldn't take these in the future and tell customers to use it at the original location they went to. I approached the counter and engaged the manager in a conversation. I assured her that I wasn't trying to break their policy, but had specifically asked the person who sent them to me, as I am rarely by the location that sent me the cards. We had a pleasant conversation about the situation and she didn't want me to pay. She handled the situation well and I believe we left it at the agreement that the store should notify marketing to be more specific with customers who receive the cards. The food came by at a reasonable time considering the huge crowd. There were still tables needing to be cleaned, but many clean ones available and the floors were in good condition considering the rush. The same girl who keeps helping us delivered our food and I wish I knew her name. She is very sweet and personable and was hustling the entire time. This place gets a lot of to go orders and she chased someone out who left something behind. Great service! Food was pretty good on this visit. I couldn't stop eating the salted caramel cookie, very tasty! My husband ate all of his angus sandwich and there were so many Lays chips leftover. It's a fair portion for the price. I tried the spud max without olives this time. I didn't like the potato at another location, but I ate all of this one. I wish they included more cheese and butter, but there was plenty of sour cream and lots of meat. I noticed they used way more ham than bacon or chicken, but I actually liked their ham, so it was pretty good overall. The soup still isn't right- too orange and an aftertaste that isn't there at the other locations. However, it was way better than last time and actually edible! I ate about half of it and it wasn't too bad, it's just clear they aren't executing the same recipe the same way as the other locations do. Even though soup is the main reason for me to go to this chain, I think they did a good enough job with everything else that I will probably come by occasionally.

    Finally, a McAlister's closer to campus! I've been here for years, but the location on 288. I usually go with the "Pick 2" deal, and choose the French Dip & Half Spud Olé (the half spud is super generous... it's a full potato) Also, don't forget to try their tea.

    There is a bowling alley I know that makes a better BLT than this deli. I appreciate the effort though.

    My wife and I found this place about five years ago and we wish we would have found it sooner…read more Every time we have family visit from out of town we take them here. Several years ago, I had my first muffuletta at a sandwich shop in Florida and I thought it was OK, but nothing special. I did not order one from Weinbergers the first several visits because of this and all the other choices we had. My wife and I finally decided to order one to split. The first bite that we took we just looked at each other wide eyed in amazement and said OMG. The reason I decided to write this review is because my wife just texted me and said she is craving a muffuletta. We will probably head there this weekend. We love this place!

    This Chicago-style deli is legit with a massive menu!! The options felt endless, it was so hard to…read morechoose. Make sure you're prepared when you walk up to the counter-- I thought I was until the dude started rattling off "wet" or "dry" and the list of toppings. I threw up my hands and said "I'm an amateur, this is my first time here!" He slowed it down and walked me through ordering, lol. I went with the Italian beef, dry with the juice on the side. So yummy! I love that it came with a handful of crinkle chips as well. If I was local I'd eat here all the time! The inside is small with a handful of tables and a few extra outside. It was pretty packed on a Friday afternoon!
