    Kids not-so-grilled "grilled" cheese.
    Angela J.

    As tasty as their adult food is, you would think a little more effort would be put into their kids meals. Total swing and a miss. One only took one bite of their not grilled, grilled cheese sandwich and said it was "yucky." While the other nibbled a hot dog from one of the funky looks Pretzel Dogs and declared, "Ew." My favorite Savanna Salad was fresh and tasty and I experienced the typical great service that I receive at this location. Just wish their kids meals were more appetizing.

    Fast friendly service at this location. I generally just order carry out. Somewhat hooked on their salads, which are quite large and filling. The dressings are awesome too, which is what makes or breaks a salad in my opinion. The interior of this store is nice and clean, but then again I stopped by during off hours and don't know what it may look like in here when it's busy.

    We tried McAlister's Deli for dinner this evening. It was the first time either of us had had it in years. First the good The online carry out order was ready on time The French dip was pretty tasty The Mac & cheese was very good. Now the not so great The outer plastic bag was hermetically sealed so tough that we had to cut it open with scissors The nacho chips were stale My fiancée had asked for no tomatoes but they were still mixed in. Their sweet tea wasn't anything to write home about. McDonalds tastes better to both of us then this. Overall the dinner was....okay. Not sure when we will be back with so many choices out there....

    We order from here often and the food is usually pretty good. The Spicy Turkey Melt and Broccoli Cheddar Soup are usually my go to items. The Chicken Caesar Wrap with onions and jalapeños is also delicious.

    i love going to McAlister's for lunch. the restaurant is bustling with families enjoying their time together. its got a warm and comforting atmosphere. i always get the McAlister's club with a side of warm cheesy mac and cheese. You have to get extra pickles because one just isn't enough!

    My brother loves McAllister's and picked it for lunch today. I've ordered delivery before but this was my first time dining in. The staff greeted us right away and were friendly throughout our visit. The first thing I noticed was just how clean the restaurant was. We chose to eat on the patio which was perfect with the fans overhead. I ordered the Jalapeño Turkey Crunch sandwich. I love potato chips in any sandwich and it was a good amount of spicy. I had potato salad on the side along with a huge unsweetened tea. My brother had the orange cranberry club which was even better than my sandwich. We ordered at the counter and they brought our food out to our table but you can you can also order tableside from the app. Or you can order online and pick it up to go. They also came to check if we wanted refills on our tea but I could barely finish the first one.

    Yummy salad with fruit and crisp lettuce

    I love the casual atmosphere of this restaurant and all of the healthy choices. It was quiet for a chat and the servers were very attentive. I had a veggie spud with a salad which was filling and fresh. They were super accommodating by changing things to make my meal vegan, substituting butter for salad dressing etc. I love too that you can acquire rewards for a free drink or bonus coupons! This is a great lunch spot and I will return for sure.

    McAllistar's Sub Wrap with a tomato bisque upgrade
    Ken N.

    When it turns out that your first choice for lunch falls through, It is nice to know that a dependable alternative is in the neighborhood. My wife and I were out to try some new local place, but found it did not have an actual sit down location and it's sister business was experiences a loss of its kitchen equipment/fryers, so we decided to switch to plan C and since we have had good experiences at other McAlister's in the past, we pulled in and grabbed a bite. There was a lot of indoor seating, but the air conditioning made it quite chilly, so after ordering at the counter and being given a "Number card" to place on our table, it wasn't long before the servers found us and brought out our beverages. (these are huge! It also was just a short wait until our meals were also brought out. I ordered a really good Reuben with plenty of corned beef and a nice amount of sauerkraut. Really nice pairing of flavors. Unfortunately, when they made my wife's sub wrap. it had no condiments on it. She was given a condiment packet that was not pressed properly for easy opening. I was able to force a fork through the plastic and she was able to get a little mayo for her sandwich, but it would be nice if they could ask if you wanted any before they sent the sandwich out to the dining room. The utensils they give simply aren't sharp enough to open the packets neatly. She also upgraded her side to a tomato bisque soup for a small charge and thought it had a nice flavor, but was so thick that it reminded her of tomato sauce, not soup. Overall, we enjoyed our food, it's just the little things that kept this from being a really enjoyable meal. Review #3933

    Love McAlister's! The Jalapeño Turkey Crunch is my absolute favorite. Peach cobbler cheesecake is great but seasonal I think.

The sandwich is about as long as my humerus, and I ate the whole dang thing in one sitting. New York Gourmet Deli is not to be confused with NY Gourmet Deli, also in Indy. New York Gourmet Deli is located on East 21st Street on the near east side; NY Gourmet Deli is on Ruckle Street, near The Children's Museum. Are they owned by the same people? I don't know, but someone needs to change their name so I'm less confused. Anyway, New York Gourmet Deli, on the east side, is great and located in an unassuming parking lot full of potholes. It looks like a liquor store from the outside, but step inside and you'll see the large deli counter where you order sandwiches, burgers, fries and other foods. The joint is also a convenience store, of sorts, with a wall full of refrigerated beverages, aisles of chips, candy, and lots of Mexican snacks. There's also a little corner of the store with goods like laundry detergent and other necessities. The hustle here is unmatched. The fellows behind the counter were flying all over the kitchen to fulfill the orders. I visited around noon on a weekday, which seemed to be a busy time because there were lots of people from all walks of life here, either waiting to order or waiting for their orders. The guys behind the counter were unflappable and took orders and made sandwiches at a speedy pace. Even if there's a line, you won't wait long for your food.

However, you'd be remiss if you didn't make a stop in at some point. They primarily have table service but also a small bar "inside" - when the weather is nice, they open up the garage doors to make the entire establishment be outdoors. The staff that we encountered were all very friendly. Food is fantastic here, we ordered from the Devour menu back in August and got the burger and pulled pork sandwich with fries. They bring your food out on a giant sheet of butcher paper, so you're more than welcome to make a mess at the table! Everything was scrumptious, and the fries home as leftovers are as delicious as when you get them fresh. Perhaps that's why they're called the Best Fries in the World! I'm sure if a good sports game is on TV, you'll find me here soon enough!

I went with a Malibu and ginger ale, and it was served in this cute glass, I loved it! We were all so hungry, so we started out with a large order of fries, and they are a standout. They disappeared fast, came served on paper, and were crispy, hot, and delicious. We ordered the 2 10-piece wings (the biggest order available), including one batch cooked extra crispy. The wings were good, and I especially enjoyed the Fat Dan's hot BBQ sauce over the regular BBQ. I really liked the extra crispy wings. My boys also wanted burgers. One ordered the Wake N Bake Burger and the other got the Fat Dan's Burger. Both looked tasty, and neither of them complained. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between sports bar and family friendly restaurant. There is seating both inside and outside, and when the weather is nice, they open the large doors to create an open-air feel. That's where we sat, and I enjoyed it. Service was quick and efficient, which was much appreciated since my family arrived hungry. This is a solid spot for burgers, wings, and fries.
