I love the aesthetic in here. The vibrant colors and lighting. I would love to come back w a book and snuggle into the couch. They get a little swamped at time so be patient. I love the scan at your seat table service. Food is deli style so soups, sandwiches & spuds (loaded potatoes) - I just learned this :) ample parking and family friendly.

Sweet Tea
Stephanie - Tommy E.

This has become Our go to place for Sandwiches and Salads. And of Course, that Infamous Sweet Tea. This Place Makes me close my eyes in Delight when I eat. Food is Always Fresh. The Cashier/ Server are So Pleasant. I get the Choose 2 meal and it never Fails. McAllister Club is Awesome. And I get the Pecanberry Salad as my side. Perfection. My Partner got the Italian. Always so full of Flavor. With a side of the Potatoe Salad. It's a little sweet if you like that. But if you don't care for the sweet , add some s and p. It helps. Thanks to the Staff at McAllister for a Lovely Lunch. Much Love from a Returning Customer.

Smokehouse Giant Spud

Valentine's Day lunch! Couldn't pick a better place to go. The food is always fresh and this potato is off the chain. Pulled pork, mac n cheese, bacon and bbq sauce - come on! The staff are really helpful and cheerful. Love this place.

Wanted a quick bite before heading to the movies and decided to stop by McAlister's. First, the service was excellent. From entering, to ordering, to food service, to cleanup, great service. The food was basic but fresh and delicious. Portions size was good. I had a 1/2 grilled chicken salad and 1/2 bacon potato. I loved the potato and would order that again. I had a strawberry lemonade and that was delicious. Overall good experience and recommend you try it out.

Pick 2
Kristina L.

Hadn't been here in awhile and was pleasantly surprised at new menu options! Always like the Pick 2 where I had a spud and 4cheese melt sandwich this time. Good portions, reasonable prices. Will be back!

My You pick two of Bake potato and chicken sandwich
Shawn L.

Visited this location recently after having fond memories of this chain which I visited in my college years in the midwest. This location was easily accessible off of I75 at Gibsonton exit. I ordered the you pick two which allowed me to get a half a sandwich and a half of a loaded baked potato. Both were delicious and I would absolutely recommend either of them but for me the tea is what I remember most about McAlasters. Their ingredients are always fresh and I am a fan of the chain and it was good to have a reminder at this location of why I fell in love with them in the first place. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. I highly recommended them if you love this type of food.

Choose 2: Spicy Turkey Melt and Grilled Chicken Salad
Julie L.

I stopped in here for lunch on a Saturday. I went to the counter to place my order and was greeted by friendly staff. I got the Choose 2 with the Spicy Turkey Melt and the Grilled Chicken Salad with Ranch dressing. I love their unsweetened ice tea. I was pleasantly surprised at the large portions and couldn't finish all of the salad. I did get the pickle on the side and I loved how garlicky it was. This casual chain is a pleasant experience since they bring you your food and then a little later check to see if you need anything else. I enjoyed my meal and look forward to coming back again soon.

I was under the weather and decided that I was gonna get McAllister's to feed the flu. I ordered a peach tea without the ice and I was told it was OK that I got it without the ice and then she commenced to fill the cup of 3/4 of the way this tea is way too expensive to slight me on it And when I asked for a refill, she reluctantly refill the team. I requested extra butter and sour cream for the baked potato I didn't get it. This is all part of the experience and making the food taste the way I would like it to taste for me to eat it and when you're denied it after spending $20 on one meal for a Lunch I won't be coming back

Smokehouse spud and half sandwich
Delano B.

This was my first time as McAlister's Deli and it wont be the last though I will give it some time before I return and I'll tell you why. To start, the ambiance inside is much nicer than I expected going into a sandwich shop, seriously the place is neat. The food wasn't long of a wait and although the potato was dry I had no complaints on the flavor of the meal. I wanted to give 5 stars so badly but the service provided at the register was hard to look past and unfortunately it was just my luck on this side of the line where I was that Jasheeda was working, between the monotone voice and rushing you to the next part of the order before you can finish saying what you're saying, you can tell she didn't want to be there. Meanwhile the other hostess on the opposite end at the other register you could hear and see her bubbly attitude and she was really treating her customers with kindness. I saw the people behind me get treated the same way and then the people after them got ignored as she looked to them walk up then went off to the back uncalled for but thankfully the other hostess acknowledged them and called them to the other side. Jasheeda would be better fit dishwashing in the back where she doesn't have to be face to face with clients and she can be monotone and have an attitude with the dishes instead. I feel that the quality of customer service is just as important as the quality of the food..

The Italian 12"
Lauren V.

One of the best Italian sandwiches I've had, fresh ingredients, served hot, and the bread was absolute perfection. Flavorful, satisfying, and made with care. Service was fast , inside everyone was friendly, restaurant well lit. Definitely recommend!

Reuben and chili
Brittany M.

My 1st visit to McAlisters deli and everything was delicious. I have seen multiple locations but never once tried McAlister's but my sister was in the mood for soup and salad and Panera bread was busy so we decided to make the drive and it was totally worth it. I got the Reuben and chili that was super delicious and filling the reuben is packed with meat so was the chili. My sister got a French dip and broccoli cheddar soup and they were both good. The ajuu I tried was flavorful. Even the kids love their food the kids cheese pizza was good and every kids meal comes with a cookie which I thought was nice. The establishment itself was clean, and the service was really on point. They helped me carry my drinks to the table and even helped us clean up in the end. Definitely a five star experience.

Atmosphere - nice. The restaurant is bright and clean. Service - Very Good. The staff is friendly and the service prompt. In addition, the Manager stopped by our table frequently to ask if we need anything Food - Very Good. I had the roast beef club sandwich with a side of potato salad. The sandwich is large. The roast beef was very tender and the bread fresh. The potato salad was delicious. Overall Value - Given the quality, quantity and price, this is a very good value.

Beth E.

I came back, and still immensely like this place. My goal is to try everything on the menu except the pastrami which I don't like lol. This time I had the spicy turkey sandwich and it was great. The bread was fresh and the ingredients all worked well together. An employee, I am guessing the manager, checked on us twice to make sure we liked our food and to offer refills on the iced tea. Great touch!

This place is awesome!!! Make a plan, drive there now! We…read morewent for lunch before driving back to Cocoa Beach. The food is amazing. We started with a meatball sub (don't break my balls) and Philly cheesesteak (yo mamma). Both delicious, hot and filled with the good stuff. And the bread? Worth the trip on its own lol. Next we tried 3 of their famous chicken cutlet tacos. Caesar salad, Alfredo and vodka pasta. Super messy and super delish. We packed more than half of all that for home. Of course we also took a piece of lemon cello cake and pack of black & white cookies for dessert. Again, both outstanding The place was busy for lunch, cute and family feeling even with a pretty long wait for the food. Fresh and delicious, we will surely be back.

Generally, I was disappointed. In this case, less would be more…read more Reasonably busy for a weekday lunch time. Interior seating seems limited for how busy they there. I was there with my mom and my five month old daughter in a stroller, which wasn't easy. This was my first time here and the process of ordering and then waiting for your order to be called was stressful. I checked the menu online before going and there was no mention of the slice specials which I couldn't see easily from the line. I also couldn't see the slice bar or flavors available while in line so that wasn't helpful. The fountain for drinks is behind the counter so you can't get yourself a refill. Instead, you have to go through the crowd again to ask an associate to do it for you. Associates were helpful with my questions. No one was wiping tables down between customers. I ordered the Yo Adrian, Bianca slice, cannoli and lobster tail. The Yo Adrian was okay. Too much soft bread, not enough cheese, good amount of onions and some of the meat was chunks rather than shaved. The Bianca slice was primarily burnt on the bottom and didn't seem fresh which is sad considering we were there before noon. The cannoli was good. The lobster roll pastry was great; likely because it was fresh. The ice cream is in boxes, which have had the top cut off and the cardboard was wet and peeling in one of the boxes I saw while waiting in line. I think skipping the ice cream seems like a safe choice. I won't be rushing back but will return at some point to try a breakfast sandwich on a NY bagel and order a whole pie to try so it's fresh.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

THE BEST DELI SANDWICH I'VE HAD IN SUCH A LONG TIME! Reminiscent of NJ/NYC deli sandwiches back in…read morethe 2000s / early 2010s. Got the roast beef club on cuban bread, added mayo and pickles, and it was toasted to perfection. The roast beef was so rare and tender, the bacon was one of the best bacons I've ever had (insanely crispy but not oily, and maintained it's crispiness the entire meal even though I'm such a slow eater). The tomatoes and lettuce were firm--didn't squeeze out of the sandwich or make a mess. And I'm usually not a fan of pickles but it was so fresh and added a flavor to break up the meat + bread taste! The service was phenomenal. It's a family-owned restaurant and everyone is so nice. The guy who took my order was so patient and helpful (I was having major decision paralysis). The vibe is clean, spacious, cute, and super homey / themed. It's also part grocery with German bevs, snacks, and dried goods (and also fresh goods behind the counter and on the menu ofc). I def want to go back and pick up some goods to bring home to my family and I will def be back again for lunch!!!

Kind of a bizarre place. Is it a gas station? Is it a convenient store? Is it a restaurant?…read more What in the world is going on inside? You walk in and it's like a transformed gas station into kind of a deli, kind of a convenience store, and kind of a restaurant. Super duper weird. The menu has a ton of stuff on it. I was feeling like getting some food from my people so thought I'd try this German spot. Up first was the #3 Reuben for $13.95. I love me a good Reuben. However, this is not the place to get a Reuben. Super thin, barely any meat or flavor. It is mostly eating bread. Avoid. Up next, I can't remember what the other sandwich was, but it was bad. I think it was a Cuban, but not sure. It was straight bread. Take a look at the pic. Now, the only above average food item I tried was the German potato salad. I would come back here only for that. Tons of German beers here and souvenirs.
