    I have loved McAlister's since college & while it's not listed on the menu - can usually still order and get the classic Spud Olé - a chili cheese and jalapeño spud and add ranch on the side. It's my FAV! Used to frequent this location with colleagues for lunch years ago when I worked in CS, recently came in to redeem my birthday reward and tried their Peach Puree Iced Tea for the first time - it was PERFECT - not too sweet, but just enough peach sweetness that made it a refreshing summer afternoon drink! I really miss the Orange Cranberry Club sandwhich and hope it makes a return one day! The staff here were so friendly and I remember service being quick (even when busy) when we would come for our short lunch breaks. The ambiance is a classic deli like vibe and I love their outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Plenty of tables and parking space in their shared open plaza lot.

    Part of the counter where you order.

    1st time here while visiting relatives in Franklin. Ordered a Reuben sandwich though I was fearful the meet may be fatty. Boy, was I wrong. It was very lean, tender and fresh (steam was coming off the meat when served. The sandwich portion was big for the price (compared to California), and all the employees were very nice. I don't know why this place isn't rated higher. We will come back again

    This McAlister's sits at the corner of Cool Springs Boulevard and Aspen Grove Drive alongside Moe's, Burger Up, CoreLife and a few other local eateries and businesses. They are located on the corner of a building, so you have two ways to enter the building. Parking can be tough during the lunch rush, but for the most part the complex has plenty of spots, not all of which will put you close to the door, but at least you will get a spot nearby. This is your standard McAlister's location, as they have the full menu of all the classics, including that addictive sweet tea, that we have all come to love. They do dine-in (inside/patio), delivery and to-go. My office is nearby and I have taken advantage of all these options and never had an issue. Service at the front counter is good for the most part, but on a few occasions I have experienced a less than friendly cashier and it is always the same fella. not sure if he has several bad days or maybe he is better suited for the less customer contact roles... Food wise all my meals have been as expected. The only issue is they run out of particular salad dressings on occasion and there is no substitute for that lime vinaigrette! I will say that on a recent pickup order where we paid online, when I arrived they let me know they were out of the dressing and unfortunately we did not want another dressing, so we got a refund of the order. For the issue the MOD gave me a coupon for a free meal, which was great service recovery. This location is a constant for lunch and dinners honestly. No major issues and a location that I will certainly continue to enjoy!

    What a joke.... I should get a refund. My jalapeño Turkey ONLY came with turkey cheese and a SHIT ton of mayo, 2 gross pieces of avocado on a SUPER SOGGY roll. Missing bacon, tomato and chips. Don't order to go from here.

    Smoky Pepper Jack Turkey Choose 2 with Chicken Tortilla Soup

    I ate here for lunch earlier today with some friends and really enjoyed it! I've always liked the food at McAlister's but this was my first time eating at this location. There is plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. For a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all, but this restaurant has plenty of seating for days when it might be busier. The employees that work here were all really nice and the cashier was very patient with me when I was trying to figure out what to order while also trying to keep my toddler from running all over the place. I ended up getting the macaroni kids meal for my son with chips on the side and it came with a cookie and drink. I got the choose 2 with smoky pepper jack turkey sandwich and a chicken tortilla soup. I expected the sandwich to have a kick of some sort but there was no bite to it at all. The bacon was the star of the show on it for sure and the turkey was great. The ciabatta bread on these sandwiches are always my favorite part - so soft and fresh! The soup was only ok... I've had many other chicken tortilla soups that tasted better. It was served piping hot alongside some plain tortilla chips. My only complaints are that the food seemed to take a while longer than I expected for it to be brought to the table but it wasn't ridiculous. Our friends that ate with us and ordered right before we did had already finished about half of their meals before our 2 plates were brought out, though. So nothing extreme. Oh and they started bussing our table before we left and I had a bag of food to - go for my parents sitting on the table and the man cleaning started shoving some trash from the table into this (nearly full) bag of food. So that was a little off-putting but again, nothing extreme. The restrooms were clean. Overall a good experience and I would definitely eat here again!

    Love their tea!

    McAlister's Deli has some of the best sandwiches in the middle Tennessee area. This was my first visit to their Franklin/Cool Springs location but I have also been to their Murfreesboro location. I've had good experiences at both. They have loaded potatoes, salads, soups, sides and dessert. I saw a small sign for their special carrot cake which looked amazing but I did not try it. I really like their "famous tea" as well which comes in sweetened or unsweetened. I ordered a sandwich to-go and it was ready within 5-10 minutes in spite of it being a super busy weekend. I got their horseradish roast beef and cheddar and all of their sandwiches come with a choice of a side so I ordered the salt and vinegar chips. This sandwich was really good and I would order it again. The employees are nice, the service is good, the food is excellent and it was clean and nice inside. It is also good for groups and for kids. Tip: Sign up for their rewards club and they will send you a $5 off coupon during your birthday month

    I have always been a fan of McAlisters! My husband and I stopped in for a super quick dinner before attending a local songwriters round. The place was basically empty! Only two other groups in the whole restaurant! Everything came out super quick and delicious. I got the McAlisters Club with a side of Mac and Cheese. My husband got the southwest salad. My club was fantastic! Can't go wrong with a classic sandwich! The Mac and cheese was delicious, but the serving of it was so tiny!! Wish they served larger sides with their meals! My husband wasn't the biggest fan of his salad. It had the tiniest bit of avocado on it (he loves avocado) and had way too much lime flavoring!! He still enjoyed it somewhat. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day until it started to rain! Always will be a fan and always will be back!

    Went there for a bite to eat with my wife. True to it's name the food was good but service sucked. Finished my sandwich and salad before they brought me my drink, one of the servers had no face mask on ( heavy set lady). We usually go o McAlisters in Spring Hill; doubt if we'll come back here. Guess worker protection from COVID-19 doesn't apply here.

    If you love soups, salads and sandwiches, this is one of the goto places in Franklin. They have a wide variety of options and, everything I have had here so far taste absolutely amazing. The service is quick and everyone is very friendly. They have a lot of parking spots available too. I always end up getting "choose 2" option. I get a cup of soup: chicken tortilla and half sandwich: spicy Southwest Chicken. I have also tried other stuff and everything tastes good. I also love the broccoli cheddar soup.

They occupy a great corner in the complex, which is a stellar location and allows for a good sized patio in addition to the dining room and bar area. That patio also makes bringing the pups a lot easier. As with all Neighbors, they are all about sports and with walls and walls of TV's, you cannot miss the game or event you are after! Food and drink here are solid. If you have never been to Neighbors, it is true sports bar food with wings, nachos, burgers, sandwiches, pretzel bites, etc...and a few house specialties, but mostly your standard stuff. And that is not a bad thing, while simple, they do it well and I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Service is friendly and good, but efficient is questionable as they recently introduced a flag based system where you put your number card on your stand and when your server notices it, they come your way. My only issue is this takes the natural check-in's of service away and while the idea is good in theory, execution is still a bit clunky as we had to seek out our server twice after having our card displayed for several minutes. Overall, big fan of the Neighbors brand and really enjoy this location in Frankin!
