    SMDH!!!
    Alex Jon T.

    First time going to McAlisters was in Mansfield and they got my order completely wrong. I decided to get a BLT from this location. One for myself and one for my daughter. Well let's say my daughter enjoyed a well toasted sandwich while I on the other hand get this soggy piece of crap. McAlister across TX are now officially trash in my opinion and will no longer receive my patronage.

    Sweet chipotle chicken
    Amy D.

    McAlister's is not usually a place where I think about going for food, but anytime someone else suggests it, I enjoy the food I order. From spuds to sandwiches to soups to salads, you will enjoy your meal. I'm not sure why but each time I eat here I am surprised how much I like the food. On my most recent visit, I ordered a cup of the crab and corn chowder. It was delicious! It was late, so the cup was the perfect portion, but my heart definitely wanted the bowl portion. I would come back really soon just for this chowder. And it wasn't as high in calories compared to other chowders. My partner ordered the sweet chipotle chicken sandwich with fruit. The sauce was addictive and really made the sandwich. I noticed that the condiment container near the sodas didn't have any crackers like they used to. Not sure if they changed the location or just didn't have time to restock. I do miss the buttery crackers instead of plain saltines. I've enjoyed the sweet tea here but after I learned the sugar content, I try to stay away. That being said, if you're a sweet tea lover, this is the place to go. Overall, Mcalister's is a solid deli place near TCU. There is always plenty of table space for large groups or studying.

    This was fresh macaroni and cheese.

    I had a bad review before but I'm changing my score because McAlister's deli has great customer service. The food I got was delicious and fresh. It was delivered through doordash and it was here right on time. McAlister's is always a great place to visit the ambiance is great.

    McAllisters club with potato salad side

    Stopped in for lunch today at this near TCU branch. Parking a bit of a pain. You will be lucky to get spot on street (University) in front of Deli. Make sure to pay for parking there and leave receipt on dash. Tickets are swiftly meted out for cars without parking receipt. Interior is decorated in TCU themes as you would expect. Students frequent this establishment, and other than my daughter and I, this was the crowd at 2 on Friday. Maybe about 1/4 full, so service was speedy You stand in line to place your order. Menu boards along back wall to select what you want, but for us older folks, print is extremely small. I opted for McAlister Club sandwich, while my daughter got the Cobb Club sandwich. Sandwich and salad fare is the norm here. You get a side with the sandwich, so we opted for the mustard based classic potato salad. They advertise their "sweet tea" so we went with that. You are given your beverage or beverage glasses (if you are going soda route), and a number you display at table. Food run out when ready. Would estimate ours was ready in about 5 minutes, GREAT but expected as place was not crowded. My club was good, just good. Nothing unusual and tasted a bit like it was pre-prepared and pulled from refrig, not made fresh. Potato salad was also good. Sweet Tea, comes in large glass they will re-fill for you was REALLY GOOD, not too sweet as some places are. Really refreshing. Our 2 sandwiches and teas ran $20, so not bad, but not a cheap eats. I'd go back if I was in area, but given parking hassle, not a great alternative unless you are walking. Service was friendly.

    I placed a order to be picked up. I am very disappointed. I ordered a French dip sandwich. It comes with dipping sauce. I was literally given like 3 TVs of sauce for my whole sandwich. There was no sauce spilled in the bag or anywhere else.

This particular spot is a deli sandwich place; they do have some standout choices, but I was craving tuna, so I ordered their Pacific Blue (Tuna Melt). Loved that they toasted the buns; it was good but didn't wow me. They skimped on the cheese and didn't add the jalapeños I requested. Service was incredibly slow, but there was a huge rush-hour crowd, so I'll overlook it. All in all, the theme is cool. Loved that they had vendors and music available the day we went; it gave us an opportunity to have something to do while we waited. I did spot board games, but naturally didn't think we'd need them. The goo ball was overly buttery and definitely had peanut butter. It was good for the first couple of bites but I quickly tossed it afterward once it became too much. If a deli is your thing, give it a try. I'm sure on any other given day they'd be better at delivering a sandwich with everything.

My late grandmother was a superb country cook and her name was Maggie. Good omen! We got there about 11:45 and got a table right away. Our server was Devin and she was terrific. We split the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The portion that they brought out was gigantic....plenty for two average appetites. What I really liked about it was - it was not over-breaded and it was fork-tender. (in my humble opinion, too many places are giving you a lot more breading that doesn't have meat under it. Yes, it's a first-world problem.) The mashed potatoes were also quite good, along with the cream gravy. I'm not a huge green bean fan, but my wife really liked them.

We ordered nachos as an appetizer to split, along with two beers and a kids meal. What arrived was Motley Crue waking from a drug binge, raiding the pantry and trash, then declaring "let's do it." What was supposed to be nachos was anything but. The only explanation is someone who had never seen nachos tried to recreate them after hearing a rumor from someone at a Lowe's parking lot. The "chips" were not tortilla chips. They were rectangular strips of pale, flimsy material that looked like scraps of drywall film pulled out of a new construction site. An albino drywall experiment that somehow escaped the kitchen and landed on a plate. The entire thing was covered in barbecue sauce, with some mystery white liquid poured over the top. We assume it was supposed to be queso, but it definitely was not queso. Calling it queso feels disrespectful to actual queso. We ate maybe a quarter of it and decided we needed to leave before things got worse. Six hours later, we received an unannounced encore performance in the bathroom. I would avoid this place like a plague outbreak--unless you have an upcoming colonoscopy and want to skip the bowel prep.

I think we both preferred the mexcrunch, simply due to the crunchy texture. I think both wraps would have been better if we could've had the sauce on the side, because the wraps got soggy pretty quickly. The side pasta salad was surprisingly really good, and I see why they serve it. Overall, I'd definitely go back here for a healthy lunch option.

The pickles, lettuce, mayo, and sesame bun all worked well together, and it was filling without feeling too heavy. My friend ordered the Jamaican Jerk San'ich and enjoyed it. It had bold seasoning and a good savory flavor, so it was a solid choice if you want something with a little more spice and personality. The "Jerk" spelled with mayo on the bun and the backwards "R" was a cute touch.

There's an atrium-looking room which looked like a private party room, but it was part of the bar area and it has no roof so it's hot when it's hot and cold when it's cold. On the way to the restrooms, there's more of a private seating area where they seat larger parties. Our server was actually the head bartender, Maxwell. He was awesome! He recommended great drinks for us and he gave a little background on the menu because this was our first time there. The pizza crust is made from 300 year old sourdough starter! It says it on their box so it must be true! But seriously, it's gut healthy. I didn't feel heavy after the meal. Our party hadn't eaten for about 7 hours so our eyes were incredibly hungry. We ended up ordering the burrata and the watermelon salad. Both of which were delectable. We also ordered the truffle cheesesteak to share between all four of us. It was good. I personally didn't taste the truffle in it, but overall the meat was tender and the provolone was oozing from the cheesesteak. The caramelized onions took it over the top for me. Then came our two pies. We chose the ones that had the little greater than signs on the menu. I was assuming that's what they were known for. Hot pepperoni and the prosciutto. Hot pepperoni was not too spicy, which I liked because when something is too spicy, all you taste is the spice. This gave a bit of kick, while maintaining the taste of the pepperoni. I think my favorite out of the two was the prosciutto. It had every flavor and texture that I was looking for. It was sweet from the balsamic, savory from the prosciutto, had a bit of bitterness and the crunch from the arugula. It was crunchy and soft at the same time lol. They have dipping sauces too, friends! Goat cheese fondue was my favorite. Planning to come here again to try their brunch menu, but only if Maxwell is working!
