Drink prices, but they'll just charge the highest, no matter what you order.
Robert B.

First time coming to a McAlisters, just getting a drink while my daughter is at the dentist next door. Writing this review from the dining room. Menu has different drinks listed at different prices. Iced tea? $2.99 Lemonade? $3.99 Lemonade tea? $3.29 Ordered a lemonade tea. And got charged for lemonade. Asked associate why the price was different. Her response was that they are supposed to ring all the drinks up as that, since the lemonade is more expensive. When I asked about it more, she just said, "you'd have to ask someone higher up than me". Store seems clean and quiet. Menu looks like it has some good options, but this experience isn't a great introduction. A 25% billing error and poor service isn't a way to encourage future business.

You Pick 2: SpudMax in the back, Southwest Chicken & Avocado salad in the front
Arada H.

At around 4 pm on a Sunday, this deli was busy, though more take-out than dine-in. Staff taking orders was very pleasant. Our wait for food was reasonable considering the crowd. However our salad, the Chicken & Avocado salad, had only one small glob (messy) of BROWN avocado. Menu photo shows a green half avocado nicely sliced. We got the opposite. Also ordered (half) SpudMax, which is supposed to have Ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar-jack, green onion, black olives and sour cream. We asked for no black olives, and they did comply, but the other toppings were not loaded near the quantity on menu photo. Just be warned.

Spicy southwest chicken sandwich.

Portion size for a $12 pick two is ridiculous. Who do they think they are Panera bread? Hamster sized food portions. I'm so full from my White Castle sized sandwich

A good casual place to grab a sandwich and salad. Or a spud. I like to get a Choose 2. The Italian salad is really good, and the smaller size in the Choose 2 is enough for a whole meal. I also like the salad and sandwich that have cherries in them. Lots of options for everyone. Good service. Fairly quick during the busier times of day. Get their tea.

This has become one of our go-to places when with our extended family. The variety of choices as well as the quality of the product is always good. Wasn't always that way. Once we came by a few years back and the sides didn't taste the same. Mentioned it to the Manager and he said thanks for the feedback. They had tried a new supplier trying to save costs and there was so much negative feedback they were going back to their original supplier once things needed to be reordered. Nice to see a business admit an error and take feedback and work to get things right. We try to avoid main rush hours to get prompt service. The place is always clean and bright. Haven't run across and employee that didn't have a positive attitude.

Dried out cold roast beef

If overpriced, stale, flavorless food is your preference, this place is right up your alley. Was looking forward to a French dip but was met by dries out roast beef that barely amounted to enough to cover the bun (my picture shows the meat after I discarded 1/3 of the bread). The meat had a shiny pink sheen that indicates its old (as did the flavor). The portions of the sides was paltry with the small containers less than half full (Mac and cheese and potato salad). If you must eat here, stick to the potatoes and tea I guess. Don't be like me and waste $9.29 (x2) for subpar food. I believe this location is just particularly bad.

Outstanding Customer Service -- Gioia's Goes Above and Beyond!…read more I wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible customer service I experienced at Gioia's! While waiting for my order, the staff generously offered me a complimentary cold-cut sandwich, which was such a nice surprise! My actual order came out very quickly, too. When I got home, I realized I had accidentally received the wrong sandwich. Mistakes happen, and what really matters is how a business handles them. I called the restaurant, and without any hesitation, they offered to remake my sandwich and even upgrade it to a large at no additional charge! When I returned to pick it up, the staff went above and beyond once again, offering me a complimentary drink or dessert. I genuinely wasn't looking for anything extra, especially after they'd already been so generous. But then I spotted the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treat I'd been eyeing for a while. Since it's my birthday week, I figured why not treat myself? What a perfect little birthday surprise! My only small suggestion would be to consider offering freshly brewed iced tea. I'm a big brewed-tea fan, and the instant Gold Peak tea just isn't quite my preference. That's a minor personal preference, though, and certainly doesn't take away from the experience. What impressed me most wasn't just the generosity, but the attitude of the employees. They were friendly, accommodating, and genuinely seemed to care about making things right. That's the kind of customer service that turns a simple mistake into a reason to keep coming back. Gioia's absolutely earned five stars from me. Great sandwiches, quick service, and, most importantly, a team that clearly values its customers. Thank you for making my birthday week a little sweeter! I'll definitely be back!

I trusted the reviews and we had this delivered tonight…read more Nope. Not trusting you all again. Dessert first. Chocolate chip cookie was inedible. I've never thrown out a cookie before. 0/10 The food was all cold so maybe it's not a fair review but the sandwiches were greasy and tasteless. I wish I'd eaten my tuna salad in my fridge
