    Service was prompt, professional and friendly. Not a real fan of the quality of the meat. It was processed to a point where it tasted fake. Sizable seating area. I added baked lays to my order which was as expected!

    the food was good, and the deli was big & clean. the wait was practically nonexistent, i got the pick two & loved the sandwiches i chose. overall my sister & i were both very satisfied w our visit to McAlister's Deli.

    McCalister Club no tomato and potato salad - all very delicious!

    I've always found this chain to be pretty reliable as a business lunch location and that hasn't changed. My club sandwich was tasty and for two people with beverages to get a flavorful meal in a clean location for $20, I think it's pretty good value for the money. Restaurant was very clean, following all spacing safety protocols. Only ding is that service was inexperienced - it felt like the whole team was new, but they tried hard overall and I was pleased as a customer. Also of interest: As things open back up this location has a really nice bonus room with doors to close it off for anyone wanting to do a lunch n' learn or other corporate event.

    Was greeted as soon as I walked through the door by a cheerful worker. Answered my questions and had great service.

    Used to be a good place for lunch, today the food was terrible and the place was dirty. Unfortunately will not be returning.

    I love Jersey mikes, but this location- NO. I would give…read morenegative stars if I could & no this isn't a one time problem, I've given grace with this location- been here 3 different time MONTHS between and it's the same crappy service. You aren't greeted as you walk in and you feel as if you're a bother even coming into eat although im the reason they have a job.. no business means no money means no hours... regarding this most recent visit and the reason I've decided to finally leave a review is because I've just had it. Walked in and was not greeted (typical from last time) waited 5 min to even be helped or asked what I wanted mind you there was no one upfront of me and no one was doing anything...when they finally asked what I wanted I asked are they speaking to me? I was just double checking because I had no interaction prior... I was responded with a rude "yes what do u want". I ordered my subs and as we get to the toppings I say "mikes way" when asked for the toppings. The kid looked at me as if I was stupid. I said "everything" to be clear, and when I said "everything" I meant, everything, I even waved my hand to show the entire spread of things. They decided to only put lettuce, oil and vin, and tomato not even the mikes way. So I spoke up and said "no I meant everything" they looked and just slapped the rest of the toppings on there carelessly. There is more to add but I don't want to waste more of my time. Won't be paying here a visit anymore. I believe it's a management issue because everyone there is the exact same.

    Mikes for sure knows what he's doing. mikes way left my grandson speechless and nothing better…read morecould fill him up, 10/10 additional review from my grandson posted below.

I ordered a chili…read morecheese dog meal with cheese fries, a root beer and a to go order of a beef with two pieces of chocolate cake. My order was complete relatively quickly. Didn't much care for the cheese sauce open and all over items and inside of the bag. All napkins I grabbed was used to clean my hands and the other items wrappers in the bag. But my mom and sisters order was a whole other story. They ordered before me. They ordered two chicago sytle hot dog meals with onion rings and my sister stood there waiting for a good 15 minutes. Until my mom went up there. Like this order was easy enough, what happen. At one point my sister was the last person standing there. No one asked if she needed help or got her order. We all get busy, but ... Ultimately the food was delicious. The ambiance was nice. The facility was clean. Wish I could find the name of the young man who was the cashier for my order who also was cleaning up by the condiments and caring for the trash. He needs to be promoted to a lead!

He arrived swiftly, but the FOOD was already COLD and the shakes MELTED. If a business cannot handle a lunch rush or just manage internal logistics effectively, they need to either restaff or reconsider being in operation. Adding to it, my combo was supposed to be dipped, but AGAIN it was merely sprinkled. I really hope the Portillo's in the city aren't as bad as the one in Gurnee has consistently been.
