    We wanted a quick bite for lunch and had never tried this deli so we ordered a Choose 2 for take out and had a picnic at a nearby park. We didn't have to wait long for our order and the flavors were good and we felt it was a good value for the money. There are many tables to enjoy your meal inside and food is brought out to you.

    Located in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking. Stopped in for lunch. You place your order and it is prepared while you wait. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. McAlister's is know for hand crafted sandwiches,fresh salads,spuds and soups. Huge menu! We did the Pick 2 which let's you choose a half sandwich ,half salad,half spud,or a cup of soup. We did the Spicy Turkey melt which was very flavorful with roasted turkey,bacon,pepper jack,avocado, tomato and spring greens. I wish everything would have been spread evenly on the toasted baguette. The chipotle ranch dressing was very good My wife had the Veggie Spud since she is gluten free which was a full spud even tho it was supposed to be a half spud..bonus! Covered with spinach, broccoli,red onion,roasted peppers and a flavorful cheese dip. Everything was fresh,tasty and value priced. We would definitely go back!

    10/04/23 I was in Glenview today and found McAlister's Deli. McAlister's located off of Willow road in the same shopping center as Target & Aldi set back in the shopping center next door to Chipotle. In my opinion this is a definite step up from Chipotle. They have a huge menu w/many options & variations of sandwiches, salads, soups, deserts. You can get any combination of sandwiches, soups, salads....There are specialty sandwiches w/a P next to them that denotes a premium w/a small upgrade of $1.25. I got half Turkey on Ciabatta bread & 1/2 Reuben. You can also get a Choose 2 1/2 sandwich w/1/2 salad, 1/2 spud or a cup of soup or any combination. Cool idea. The menu options can be a bit overwhelming as they are many options available. Nice large cleanly decorated dining area unfortunately the sandwiches weren't anything spectacular

    We came here for an elementary public school fund raising weekday dinner.  They are sort of hidden in the corner of the Target/Kohl's strip mall and are close to Willow Road if you're looking for them.  This is a new and clean location and open for less than 2 years. Amongst the 5 of us, we had the following all for $42.82.  The kids' meals are amazingly cheap here! - Kid's pizza with fruit cup, $3.58 - Kid's mac n cheese w fruit cup, $3.58 - Choose 2 - angus spud w cup of chicken & gnocchi, $10.74 - Angus club sandwich with fruit cup, $10.58 - Horseradish roast beef with potato salad, $9.29 It was all healthy, economical, and satisfying for what it was.  It was a cold evening and was a bit chilly when we started off but it gradually warmed up inside.  I think the employees felt the chill like we did.

    Been here mostly with work outings. Spacious dining area. The staff and service is friendly. The food is surprisingly good. If you are like me, the portions can seem a bit much, I usually get two meals out of one and end up taking 1/2 my sandwich home. I don't even bother getting a drink here anymore because they come in one size, gargantuan. Last I was in I tried the jalapeño turkey crunch and it was yummy. It is also hard to go wrong with the New Yorker, Reuben, or Rachel.

    Boy oh boy, this place is great. From the service to the food it's all amazing. The servers there are very friendly tending to your every need. The food is stellar and fresh. The ambiance is also very pleasant and relaxing. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend. Would also recommend going for the BLT + A sandwich as it was out of this world. Edit: went again and they mixed up my order. Little disappointing

    This place is disgusting. Avoid. Food was extremely sub-par, the service was bad, and this is the worst deli I've ever been to.

    Just ordered a Rachel and there was no sauerkraut or cheese on my sandwich, so it basically it was a turkey sandwich. Won't be going back.

    I think an earlier reviewer is correct and they changed owners and/or management. Went by today to…read moretreat friends and was pretty disappointed. The food just was not what we were expecting. We expected Cultura Subs but what we got was a shadow of what we experienced before. The service was very accommodating, but slooow to get their version of jibarito sandwiches served up. They were subpar; even if they had the OG recipes, the execution was mid or below. The serving of yuca fries tasted similar to what we had before, but they served it with ketchup and not the original delicious homemade sauce. I doubt I will go back. Sayonara, OG Cultura Subs ;_;

    We definitely ordered more than our family could eat from our first Cultura Subs visit, but it was…read moresuch a welcome treat. Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them! I think it was an app, but I honestly didn't get to try it since my partner devoured it before I got a chance. No matter, we were stuffed regardless! We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!

    We're in town during Thanksgiving for the first time in a decade. I ordered all the sides from…read moretowne and oak (delish), the pies from three tarts (perfection) and then I need a turkey. I checked Yelp and ordered from Hofherr Meat based on the stellar reviews. I often peek into Hofherr Meat when walking into Shred415 so was excited to finally try it! About 2 days before I was telling a friend where i got my turkey and she asked me how i plan to cook it. Cook it?? It literally had not occurred to me that my turkey would be raw. If it's not obvious from this review and ALL my restaurant reviews the kitchen is not where I shine. I called Hofherr to ask if they could cook my turkey and while apparently they do that it was too late to put in the request. Good to know for next time. Wednesday morning I joined the rest of the North Shore to pick up my raw turkey. I ran into a friend while waiting for it who is more of an expert when it comes to making turkeys and she asked them to give me gravy, a turkey bag (apparently easier and lessy messy to cook in a bag) and some directions. The next day I followed their directions along with some help from my bestie chatgpt. I stuck it in the oven and crossed my fingers we wouldn't be going without a turkey this thanksgsiving. We had a little mishap when the thermometer melted into the turkey (oops), but besides that it really wasn't too difficult of a process. And while I had trouble eating a turkey after seeing it raw my family was thrilled that it was perfectly moist and praised my turkey making skills. I did have a few bites and did think it was pretty good- and i dont even like turkey. I would definitely get my turkey from here again, although next time i'll be ordering a cooked turkey out of convenience. But for those of you who like to cook a turkey I recommend them!

    We drive past Grill House all the time, it has been in Northbrook for a long time (I just found out…read morethat it's been here for 9 years), however, this was the first time that we ever visited, and I am happy that we finally did! My husband and I wanted a quick and good dinner one Sunday recently, and we picked Grill House after I read some good reviews on Yelp.  Although it's a casual, fast-food-style restaurant, the menu is surprisingly extensive, with a wide variety of healthy Greek dishes. It was definitely helpful to look over their menu online before we visited, because the menu board inside could be a bit overwhelming.  I guess I still looked quite confused when I saw 2 kiosks in front of the ordering counter.  A staff behind the counter offered to help, and I just ordered directly with him.  Later of the evening I discovered that he's the friendly owner Gus. After placing our order at the counter, we were given a table number, and our food was delivered promptly.  I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki Plate ($17.50 at the time, it's now listed online for $18), while my husband ordered a Filet Mignon Souvlaki Plate ($25.50).  Each souvlaki plate included a soup or salad, rice and potato (1 piece), a side of veggies, and pita bread in a paper bag.  It was a generous amount of food! We both chose the lentil soup, which was served piping hot in a nice ceramic bowl with a lid. It was flavorful and comforting. My chicken souvlaki was tender and juicy, never dry, and both the rice and potato were delicious. We were both impressed with the quality and value of the meal. I ordered a lemonade, which is considered a fountain drink ($4.00) and comes with free refills, though I couldn't even finish my first glass. My husband would have ordered a glass of wine if we hadn't had plans afterward, so we were happy to see that Grill House also serves beer and wine for a future visit. The service was another highlight. Everyone was warm and welcoming; a special shout-out to Kevin, who was very attentive and checked in on us several times.  When I was taking photos around the restaurant, the owner Gus greeted me again, which was a nice personal touch. The restaurant itself was bright, clean, and inviting. There's also a pleasant patio for those who prefer to dine outdoors. We will definitely be back to try more dishes from their extensive menu.  I am glad that we finally gave Grill House a try!
