    Pure laziness.
    Angela J.

    I will never eat food from here again. This place is beyond gross and a huge disappointment. Something is very wrong with this restaurant. First of all, after my last negative review, as you can see, someone from Mcalister's acted concerned about my experience. They then messaged me and asked for my contact information for the store manager to contact me. No one ever did. That tells me this location does not care about nor take any pride in their establishment. Because it was so filthy, I decided I would not be returning. Last night, my husband calls and asks if I'd like him to pick up dinner. I said I wanted a salad from Mcalister's and figured he would go to the one that was near him at the time he called. Instead, he ended up going to this nasty location. As soon as I pulled my salad out of the bag, my heart sank. It looked a crazy mess and I could see large hunks of onion, not even chopped. The bowl also had quite a bit of empty space, which is not normal. It's usually so full with salad that you have to carefully mix in your dressing. I was able to dump my dressing in, replace the lid and shake it around. Usually the cup of dressing they give is the perfect amount. But because the salad was so scarce, it ended up being to much dressing. As I began eating, I realized that much of the lettuce was not good and a lot of the veggies looked old and gross. The lettuce even tasted bad, old and funky. I ended up getting sick shortly after eating what little bit of the salad I did. Do NOT eat here. I've instructed my husband to never get my salads from this location, ever again. It's filthy and they obviously have no quality standards in the least. The board of health needs to investigate.

    Hadn't been in a while, but really wanted one of their spuds! We stopped in last night around 8pm, not too busy, but a small crowd still inside. I took some spud suggestions from a man named Chris who was not only helpful, but friendly! I believe I got the spud max.....? The meat on the potato wasn't overwhelming and I liked that! Shown in the photo- I ordered the pick/choose two. Chicken tortilla is my go to! Restaurant was clean and employees are constantly making their rounds to remove plates and refill drinks. I noticed they offer same day catering service as well! Last and most important (obviously) are their cookies! They are huge and come in a few different flavors. Always fresh!

    I've always gone to this location but recently they seem to be doing our orders wrong. I ordered a king club sadly my sandwich didn't have everything on it it's like they rushed through making it. I also ordered a BLT sandwich and requested to add cucumber and sadly they didn't add it. I've had a long day decided not to cook and pick something up really disappointed and sad I didn't get exactly what I ordered. As a college student I don't have that kind of money to spend on gas to go back and forth.

    Got back in town and wanted something light!! Hadn't seen my daughter in a week because i was out of town and this was what she wanted!! We sat in and ate! Our cashier that took our orders i didnt get her name but she was nice and attentive. Our food came out quick! And of course we ended our visit with a good ol' soft chocolate chip Thanks for the awesome customer service!!

    Easy takeout experience with online ordering and easy pickup. Food was warm when we got it home and packaged securely. However, the pickle spears added were not included in the order. Everything looked and tasted good!

    A friend wanted to join me to join her for dinner and suggested McAlister's Deli. I really didn't want to eat there, but I'm so glad I did! When we arrived the line was super long, but it moved pretty quickly. I order the half and half deal, but with my extras my total was around $13.00. I ordered the Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Bread Bowl with a Chef Salad. It was the perfect combination for cold weather. The soup was good, but I really didn't like the actual bread. Next time, I would get the soup without the bread bowl. The salad was small but filling. All the topping were fresh and the ranch dressing was pretty tasty. The staff was really nice and accommodating. My friends sandwich was not made properly, but they quickly made another sandwich for her and apologized for the mix up. I really like this location and will come back to try more from their menu! Happy Eating!

    Pretty great for a Friday lunch on the run. Much nicer than fast food or Panera, without breaking the wallet.

    I absolutely love this restaurant the customer service is great the food is great a lot of the time the line Is extremely long but today for some reason there were 3 cashiers which was perfect. They have a lot of items on the menu for all types of people I love fatty foods that's why I get the nachos (lol) they also have items for people who are on the Keto diet and people who just enjoy eating healthy, they have a section for outdoor setting which is nice for those nice sunny days and nights all in all it's a great place to dine.

    The tea that got me addicted to sweet tea. Staff is very nice about keeping it refilled too!

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.
