    Justaspud- bacon, cheddar jack cheese, and sour cream
    Ashley D.

    I ended up going to McAlister's on Saturday January 15th since I was in the Castleton Mall area. What I noticed when I walked in that there was so many tables dirty, I placed my food order with the cashier, she stated it'll be a 20-mintue wait, I informed her I don't mind waiting. I ordered same thing I always get at McAlister's which was the Justaspud. I only had on the Justaspud bacon, cheddar jack cheese, and sour cream, I ordered two chocolate chip cookies, and sweet tea. By, the time my meal was ready still no tables were clean, guy who brought me my food I informed him there are no where to seat down since a lot of tables were dirty. He cleaned out booth table, included the seat, my food was hot and fresh. Since, this McAlister's is at the Castleton Mall they do receive a lot of traffic. Besides, a lot of tables were dirty my food was good, fresh, hot, and staff were professional.

    Savannah Chopped Salad and Country Potato Soup

    This location is near Castleton Mall and it's large on the inside with plenty seating. I ordered the pick two with Savannah Chopped salad and potato soup. I was given a very large drink with it so make sure to ask for your desired size so you don't waste. They do not have an extensive beverage menu like teas to choose from. Mostly Pepsi/coke products and lemonade. The service was shaky as the people I came with did not get the spuds they ordered and the cashier had to ask us 2x each to repeat our order. We were there around noon and it was not busy at all.

    Trying to grab a quick lunch but my order was placed 20 minutes ago and it hasn't come yet.

    Aside from the long wait time, them running out of lemonade, and lack of clean tables my actual food was just ok. My cucumber, tomato salad tasted fresh out of the freezer. The sweet chipotle chicken sandwhich was not hot, even after the super long wait. The person who bought our food out to the table was not wearing gloves. One high point the manager did stop by near the end of our visit and refilled our lemonades and bought me a to go container.

    I was so excited the first day I found Out about the McAllisters in the mall. I really like McAllisters for many reasons but most of all because it's not your typical fast food. It's fairly healthy! I can order soup and salad and not feel bad about what I'm eating like cheeseburgers and drive thrus. I normally do pick 2 and order the chicken tortilla soup. It's so good!!!! I also really like their salads. I was surprised at the kids meal, the Portions are big and my son was happy about his meal. He ordered the chicken tortilla roll up and got soup on the side. I took a bite of his and it was delicious and healthy. As much as I love the teas I try to stay away from sugar but they're excellent!!!!! Def worth trying. This location is fairly slow when it comes to making the food but they always get our orders right. Pros Location Food Customer service Cons Silverware is in the back of the kitchen It's cold in the restaurant

    Love McCallisters Deli, the food is great and consistent. I went to the McCallisters with my little sister in castleton and the customer service was friendly. Overall food is always good there.

    Quick bite to eat after a movie. It was late afternoon and the place was empty. It was after the lunch rush, but too early for dinner, lol. The staff was friendly and immediately greeted us upon entry. Dining area is pretty large and there are TVs on the walls. Our order came out quickly. I got a reasonably priced half of club sandwich with a cup of chicken and dumplings soup. I was able to eat it all, and it was pretty good.

    Absolute worst McAllister I've been to. Terrible customer service. The staff got everyone's order wrong. I saw 3 ppl leave because either their food was wrong or they waited over 30 minutes for their food. My own food was wrong. In his own frustration the manager Matt threw my food on the counter like it was trash. And indeed it was both of the potatoes were burnt. But I'd rather call corporate then deal with the manager. His own employees were cursing at him while they were working. That place needs some restructuring and leadership bad..I won't be returning.

    The O.G.B.L.T. is the way to go. It's a hot and melty sandwich with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato,…read morepepper jack cheese and mayo, all on a hoagie bun. 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.

    We knew they were going to have good sandwiches when we saw the boars head meat in the deli case…read more This is a carry out only spot. Service was very good with only a slight wait due to a small line. You order, they start making your order and you pay. A few minutes later the have everything ready and bagged up. I got a chopped cheese, it does reminded me of a sloppy Joe, and my only complaint was I wanted more lettuce and tomato. Richelle got the east coast roast beef and cheddar. She loved it and it had plenty of lettuce and tomato. Fries are good, and the give them a sprinkle of seasoning too. Plenty of cans of pop to choose, but would like to see a few diet pop options added. We will definitely come back, and I ask for plenty of toppings.

    I've struggled with how to rate and review Goose the Market for a long time…read more I've struggled mightily. It's an Indianapolis icon in many ways. It's beloved. And listen, it's not the most wheelchair friendly place in the world. If you're a wheelchair user, you're in all likelihood not going to the cellar unless you're extraordinary with you're chair or you crawl. I remember attending a Yelp event here, and I just wrestled with these issues so much. It's not inaccessible - you can get in the door, though even the parking is a bit wonky and the curb-cuts a bit worn. This is an older building in an older neighborhood. So yeah, if you're a wheelchair user plan ahead. I am a wheelchair user. And I suppose I should knock off my usual 1-star for accessibility issues. But, I just can't do it. I, instead, choose to go 5-stars with my narrative disclaimer that there are accessibility issues here. But, my word. This is a great place and every single experience I've had with Goose the Market, including last night's Italian Film Festival, has been stellar whether I'm in their location or at an event they are catering. What is Goose the Market? First off, nearly everyone considers it one of the best - Indianapolis Monthly, Eater, Yelp, etc. Goose the Market offers a daily menu of sandwiches, soups, gelato, and small plates. It offers raw beef, pork, poultry, game, seafood, in-house made sausage/smoked meats, and more. It offers charcuterie - both in-house and from other producers. It offers farmstead cheeses, fresh produce, artisan breads, preserves, sauces, pickles, pasta, crackers, flours/grains, and a lot more. There's the cellar - Enoteca bar with Italian style wine by the glass and small plates (and it has all-ages seating). Goose the Market offers a wine of the month club, gift cards, catering, classes, daily specials, and more. What can I say? There are those places that are worth the effort. As a lifelong person with a disability, I long ago realized the world would never be perfectly accessible. It's never going to happen. I'll continue to work toward a more accessible world, though I'll also honor that there are those places where I feel welcome anyway. I feel welcome at Goose the Market, though I can't quite get the full experience. The service is exceptional, the products quite awesome, the environment warm and friendly, and there's simply no doubt it's one of Indy's treasures. So yeah, five stars. With a disclaimer that those with mobility impairments may need to plan ahead or have a companion along. Who wants to be my companion?

    What a fun spot for a sandwich or cheese or sundry items!…read more It is on the corner of two busy streets but does have two spots in front for parking. You can also park in the gravel lot across the road. It was raining pretty heavily so we got wet but wasn't a far dash. The counter is like any deli with the items displayed in the cold case. You can browse the various freezers or shelves for items like picked veggies, canned fish or spreads. It was fun to see that you could buy everything needed for a picnic or impromptu lunch! We got sandwiches to go as well as locally baked cookies. I tried the recommendation for a vegetarian sandwich. It was nice and crusty and had some good flavor. I might create my own next time, but theirs was good and had lots of flavor! My friend was new to Indianapolis and really liked the options. She said she would be back and so will we. They also do tasting events and other things so we might check out one of their offerings. A fun local spot!
