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.

We got the mortadella burrata pistachio sandwich, morning bun, glazed croix, everything croix and a chocolate chip cookie. Everyone was super welcoming and helpful and sweet. It's a smaller place with like 4 tables but we ate our sandwich and coffees here and had the rest of the order for later to try at home. But it's a good grab and go or order ahead. They also sell baguettes and sour doughs loafs. *Sandwich: it was better than the one we had in Italy. It was soo delicate but flavorful *morning bun: flaky, cinnamon and sugar.. there's areas of it that are caramelized and has a nice chewiness to it. Worth it. * everything Croix: if you like everything bagel seasoning you'll love. I'd choose the is over a bagel. *pastrami croix: yum! It's a fun take on a pastrami sandwich. I really liked this, I love pastrami and sauerkraut so it was right up my alley *glazed croix: I loved this! My husband thought it was too sweet for his liking but it's like a cronut but better. The croissant is still super buttery and flaky. I will say, you can't eat it pretty lol it's a messy one but I love it * chocolate chip cookie: it was good, I am a thinner cookie person but overall it was good!

The interior isn't big but there are 4 small tables for seating and a bench for waiting. They have sweet and savory morning baked goods - croissants "croix", daily made sourdough flavors, sandwiches, and coffee. The service was great - the cashier was super helpful and gave good honest recommendations. I got a sandwich (mortadella, burrata, pistachio), 3 croix's (strawberry and cream, everything, and pistachio), and a black cold brew. Food came out in about 10 mins (about the time it took to write this review and take a couple pics). Food was really good - bread was super crunchy and everything was very flavorful. Not gonna go in detail. Try it yourself. I promise it's worth waking up at 7am and driving out here! Note - while I didn't get any, I did notice that the sourdough is premade and you get it instantly.

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.

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.

Mike, the owner, greeted us right away and made us feel genuinely welcome. When he found out we wanted to watch a specific college football game, he immediately turned it on for us. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days. As an added bonus, Mike treated us to a complimentary portion of the Brioche Banana Foster French Toast, and it was absolutely outstanding. The brioche was perfectly prepared, and the banana foster topping took it to another level. It was easily one of the best brunch items I've had in a long time. For our main meal, my son and I both ordered the Chicken and Waffles from the brunch menu. It was a perfect 10 out of 10. The chicken was light, crispy, and flaky without being heavy, and it sat atop a perfectly cooked waffle. Every bite was delicious. I originally planned on ordering an iced tea, but our waitress was so friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable that she convinced me to try a Bloody Mary instead. I'm glad she did because it was excellent and paired perfectly with brunch. What really stood out wasn't just the amazing food and drinks, but the overall atmosphere and service. Everyone made us feel welcome, and the attention to detail was exceptional. Honestly, I don't understand why this place isn't more crowded. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will absolutely be back again. If you're looking for great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Local Open is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

I look forward to getting to use the virtual golf bay sometime, we are just usually on more of a time crunch. The bar makes a great mule.

The decor is perfect for the theme and it feels a masculine version of sophisticated and relaxed at the same time.
