    Chicken salad
    William G.

    Schlotzki was closed, wanted a salad went with second similar option. This location is basically across street from Schlotzky's in Florence. I've had McAlister's sandwiches before so know what they are like, but we went with salad. I got grilled chicken & she got turkey club salad. They were $7.99 a piece which for the size of each was an okay price. I got two meals out of mine so not too bad. When we first opened the two salads they looked exactly the same except one had chicken pieces, I'm saying the advertising pics don't look the same as final product. As for the business it had that sticky floor when walking and liquid spills right in front of register. It was close to closing so maybe their standards are dumber at this time. Our cashier was friendly but the person that announces the names was a bit snooty. Some highs and some lows equals middle of pack option.

    Reuben sandwich with pickles and potato chip . Not sure if I'm going back

    The restaurant was clean. The service was a little slow. I did notice that no one working in the food area had on gloves I normally order online and sit in the car, but today I went inside and waited. One of the helpers came in to help out. Never washed or sanitize her hands and was checking food orders to make sure they were accurate. Well when she pulled mine out the window I cringed. I'm big on handling of food. If you're working a cash register and dealing with money you shouldn't handle food unless putting on gloves. Ok coming to a close I ordered here a couple of weeks was very satisfied, but today I wasn't. You be the judge of my $11.00 meal

    Do we ever clean?

    Welcome to purgtory... Here for lunch. I am not sure if they fill call in orders vs. In house, but we asked for standard menu items and the staff is doing.....don't know what. There are only 6 tables(mostly 2 tops) in the shop and 53 min later no food.. It's a sandwich people.. A COLD sandwich. And it's dirty inside. I finally just asked for a Manger, a refund and left.

    Big baked potato with cheese, but for $6.15?

    Be careful when ordering salads from Mcallister's. It will run you to the restroom Fast.

    If a 25 minute wait for a cold sandwich is what you're craving, this is the place go. Hard to justify as a lunch choice during the work day.

    Other McAllisters are better. They never make you want to come back. Pretty mediocre and the taste is lackluster.

    Stopped by after see a post in the Florence foodies group! One thing that wins me over every time…read moreis amazing customer service! Kaleen Was welcoming and informative! All of the food items looked great but i opted for the chicken. Salad croissant lunch with pasta salad! The chicken salad was solid! Quite delicious! I was also excited to see she carries Tyler candle company! Top of the line in home fragrances! We also tried her blueberry lemon cake and omg!!!!!! It was phenomenal!!!!!!! I will be back!!!!!

    My bestie, who lives in Florence, had heard about this place and was hoping to try it out. After…read moresome geocaching adventures, we used GPS to find Kaleen's Homemade Favorites. It's a cute little shop, with sandwiches, cakes, dips, appetizers, all sorts of homemade goodies ready to take with you. The menu also has a selection of casseroles, lunches and dinners. The cakes are HUGE! We settled on buying a red velvet cake. It was a bit pricey at $32 BUT it was so dang heavy, we asked if it was perhaps frozen?? It wasn't. While checking out, the lovely people behind the counter offered us a sample of the chicken salad. To me, chicken salad is good, but I can't say I've ever had chicken salad that blew my socks off... UNTIL THEN! Mmmmmm it was VERY good. It's been months and I still remember how incredibly tasty the chicken salad tasted. I'll be honest, I didn't say anything, but I'm hit or miss when it comes to red velvet so I was hesitant. Sometimes red velvet can taste bitter or just not good. My friend really wanted that one so I kept quiet. Boy am I glad I did! It was literally the most amazing red velvet cake I've ever tried. It's VERY rich so a small slice will do you (which means the cake will feed more!). Even as rich as it was, I was like a crackhead, wanting just a bit more. Since my friend lives solo, she insisted I take some cake with me. I should have taken more!!! I try not to live life with regrets, but that's one regret for 2015. :( My daughter will tell you she does NOT like red velvet. I forced her to close her eyes, and take a bite. She LOVED it! She scarfed down the slice I brought for her and wanted more. As I mentioned earlier, this was months ago and I still think about how great the cake and chicken salad tasted. I was shocked to see Kaleen's hadn't been created on Yelp yet! If you're anywhere nearby, STOP AT KALEEN'S! Totally worth it.
