McAlister's club...err 3/4 of it anyways
Tuan D.

Well...requested extra pickle spears, ended up with zero... Ordered McAlister's club...got 3/4 of a sandwich. WTF is wrong with this location? Plano location is always on point. Yall need training courses from them.

The chili
Duane S.

Service was ok. Nice high school kids. Atmosphere was standard. But the food left something to be desired. I believe the chili was wolfs brand with no beans. Almost 100% certain of that and it was $7 for a bowl. My wife's sandwich was also meager. All in all, not a great experience.

1/2 Roast beef spud and Memphian half sandwich. This isn't a 'key size' sandwich.

We were looking for a place to get a soup, sandwich and potato for dinner. We opted for McAlister's because we wanted a good iced tea. Upon reading the reviews, I was afraid we would be disappointed. Thankfully we weren't. The service was great, Daya took our order and the assistant manager whose name escapes me checked up on us. When the food arrived, it looked and tasted great. If you're hesitant, I'd give them a chance. The restaurant was about 25% full so I know there's many folks who come, enjoy their meal and go on with their life. Ywe likely only read reviews from the small percentage who had an issue. No issues here.

Pick two

Since when is this half a sandwich, car key for reference. Brought it back and he said "that's correct." I've eaten here before and it's not. Shoulda gone to Jason's deli

After ordering we waited 30 min and still had no food. When I went to check on it, they had lost the order. When I asked for the manager I was told he was scared to come out. Several other customers were also missing orders, we were waiting long enough to make friends. After re-ordering we did finally receive food, such as it was. I had ordered the Horseradish Roast Beef with Cheddar. What I got was one sad piece of beef on a large piece of bread with way too much sauce. Given the pictures around the place I was expecting a bit more. The manager, finally, did come out and give us some coupons for free meals. Not sure why we would use them.

"Bottom of the Barrel" Chili
Lauren M.

This is my second 1-star experience with this location. This time, I placed a takeout order through the McAlister's app. My chicken caesar wrap came unfolded in the container and was a complete mess -- basically a salad atop a soggy tortilla. (Shouldn't it have been wrapped up or stuck together with toothpicks? What dummy just throws a wrap in a to-go box?) I was also shorted a pickle spear. And the worst offender? The cup of chili I ordered was a SOLID MASS in a half-filled cup. Burned lumps were clearly visible. It had obviously been scraped out of the bottom of a pot by a lazy employee who didn't want to deal with refilling the pot. (And, look, I've worked in restaurants. I know that this chili isn't made in-house. We're talking about something as simple as cracking open a new can and dumping it in a pot. How lazy can you get?) When I called the restaurant to share my thoughts with the manager, I was told that he was too busy to come to the phone. Which holds with my previous review, in which I mention how SWAMPED the manager always seems. Every time I visit, there are three bored-looking high school kids standing behind the counter doing NOTHING while the manager dashes around the restaurant, delivering orders and putting out fires. Clearly the employees lack training on how to better run the front-of-the-house, whereas the kitchen could benefit from a manager's attention. There is just no excuse for serving the slop I was given. I LOVE McAlister's. I've lived near several other locations (Denton being one) that were consistently excellent, well-managed, and staffed with employees who were present and engaged in their work. This location has NEVER gotten their act together, despite the many, many negative reviews it has received here on Yelp. What is going on at this restaurant and why hasn't it been fixed?

Hungry for order 46 1st time at this location
Doug C.

1st visit to this location for short road trip following Turkey Day Nov 2022. We have eaten at other locations in Collin county and well taken care of and plenty of staff on hand. We were interested in salad/soup combo which is right on the menu. See photo. Next time one of us will get soup/salad the other soup/sandwich and split the difference. On a future visit we must throw caution to wind and get the Oreo cheesecake. The promotion photos at the counter were to die for. Yummy.

This time we had the Beef Stroganoff with a cup of Split Pea Soup and the Deli News Breakfast Feast with sunny-side-up eggs, Challah French Toast, and hash browns. The Beef Stroganoff was hearty and comforting, exactly the kind of meal you want when you are craving something substantial. The split pea soup made a great complement to it. The Breakfast Feast continues to be a favorite, and the Challah French Toast is especially good, thick, satisfying, and a nice change from ordinary French toast. Deli News is one of those places where you can come hungry, sit down, and enjoy familiar comfort food without needing anything fancy. Breakfast or lunch, there is plenty on the menu to keep giving us reasons to come back.

I do like Deli News but I think the North Dallas location is much better than the Frisco location…read more The sandwiches are good I usually get the pastrami. My favorite soup is the hodgepodge but the matzo ball did not have a good flavor at this location. This location is not a sit at the table style restaurant but rather order at the counter and get a number. The service is good and employees are nice. I still recommend going to the Preston & Campbell location in Far North Dallas for a better experience I'd say that location is a 5 Star experience.

I love subs! Was anxious to try. I arrived at Jon's and…read moreupon entering I noticed that it did not smell like fresh baked bread or subs. It had the smell of old grease which I thought was a little off putting but needless to say, I decided to go ahead and give ut a shot, so ordered the Italian sub minus the pickles because I'm not a big fan of pickles on the Italian sub.. it looked great but as soon as I took a bite, the bread completely fell apart in the center and then I also noticed that the meat was very thick and I didn't love that .. I took a few more bites and didn't finish. Bread seemed stale didn't love the taste and it was very messy as a result of bread crumbling and falling apart so way to difficult to eat additionally some of the meat was tough with too much fat for my liking. Just didn't do it for me! Some may like though .. counter service was friendly so no complaints there .. sub was a bit over $9 for a 6 inch.

My son had a hankering for a Cuban sandwich and I didn't feel like driving out to Richardson,…read moreCarrollton or McKinney to pick up one from an actual Cuban restaurant so we stopped at Jon Smith Subs. We were warmly greeted by staff as soon as we walked in. We were given a brief explanation of the menu afterwards we placed our order. As expected my son ordered the Cuban sandwich with extra pickles, he opted for the combo that added either fries or a bag of chips and a drink, my son chose the fries. We sat in the dining area while waiting for our order. The dining area was very clean and spacious. After a short wait, our food was delivered to our table. When we were leaving the clerk held the door for us, which I thought was very nice. My son snacked on his fries on the way home and he commented about how fresh and hot the fries were. Once home he opened the sandwich and was happy to see the extra pickles he requested. The sandwich was a bit larger than the ones from other places. He said it was very tasty, his only gripe was the amount of mayonnaise, it was too much for him. Other than that small issue, he said he enjoyed the sandwich and would definitely visit the place again. I can't wait to try out some of their menu items in the future!

Cut into it and that runny yolk pours right over the warm corned beef, adding an extra layer of rich, creamy goodness. Messy in exactly the right way. We also had the liver pâté and egg salad, along with the classic pickles and crunchy bagel chips. Everything tasted fresh, generous, and exactly like a great old-school deli meal should. There are plenty of places to get a sandwich in Dallas, but when it comes to this kind of deli food, Deli News is hard to beat. Great portions, great flavors, and food that makes you want to come back before you've even finished lunch. That corned beef, egg, and runny yolk combination alone is worth the trip. Cannot beat it anywhere in Dallas.

First, the spot is actually really cozy and has a well-maintained neighborhood vibe. It's self-seating so we picked a spot near the huge flatscreen so we could also watch a little television. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is HUGE, so maybe study it a bit to cut down on decision fatigue. I was initially torn between a breakfast plate and the cheese blintzes. I figured, why not go with the blintzes, because you don't really see as an option much these days. I also got a side of cherry compote and orange juice. The orange juice was nice and pulpy. As for the cheese blintzes and the cherry compote- I think I could've done without it- it made it too sweet. But, it was served in the side, so iI just didn't eat much of it. The blintzes themselves were very good and definitely had a very gratifying texture. Slightly sweet on their own, but not too much. My husband had the franks and beans. I didn't try them, but I did snag a French fry and it was very good- golden and perfectly crispy with a piping hot soft center. Prices were a bit steep, but this is a neighborhood restaurant and iI think it's always good to support locally when you can. Goodness knows, prices for goods is high and labor is not cheap. Overall, I would definitely consider coming here again, but this time I would like to try one of their breakfast plates to get a better baseline.
