We've eaten McAlister's foods periodically for 10+ years. Overall, it's been quite good. Well prepared, good variety of selections and served promptly. Probably a 4 star rating. Today was an exception. I ordered a newer menu item - smoked barbecue pork on a baked potato. But there was Very Little Pork. If they were short on pork, they could have given me a "head's-up" and given me an opportunity to order something else. No more than 3 stars for this. read more

Best sandwiches around!!! And Kay is so sweet and kind. Turkey Ruben, French dip all so good!!! Place is always clean too.

Fantastically ran chain Deli, food was great, staff was outstanding, overall cleanliness super. Best McAlister's Deli I've ever eaten at. I would absolutely return. The king club was amazingly good, too huge, but very very good! read more

I have gluten sensitivity and McAlister's one of only places I can get GF bread. I go there weekly ( sometimes twice ) at lunch recently the GF option was removed from online ordering. you can get the bread if you order at counter ( which I dont have time to do on lunch break). I order online. when I ask why was it removed the people at counter give a blank glazed over stare and say " it's corporate". so. corporate. can you not fix this???? what is the problem. read more

Fresh, simple, and convenient. I ordered the Strawberry Salad through the app and the whole experience was seamless--easy ordering, quick prep, and ready right on time for pickup. The salad was fresh and well-balanced, with great flavor. Staff was courteous and efficient at pickup. A solid go-to for a quick, quality meal. read more

First - so many delicious choices! I had a hard time deciding! The lady at the counter was so sweet - she showed me the "choose 2" and that's what I ended up doing. I had 1/2 angus beef spud & 1/2 of the Savannah salad - both were EXCELLENT!!! I then went back a few hours later to get a meal for my sister. She got Justaspud & a bowl of the broccoli cheddar soup (I ordered a cup of the broccoli cheddar) again everything was awesome!!! We will definitely be back!! The staff was helpful, pleasant & professional and the service was FAST!! read more

McAlister's is a great place to eat because of their extensive menu of delicious sandwiches and sides! You certainly don't want to miss the iced tea to accompany your meal--it is fantastic. read more

I order the same thing from this restaurant every time I eat here. Avocado Blt and apparently the people making the food is so fucking dumb they can't read! They sent my sandwich out without the avocado and there excuse was there is a new guy well don't have his ass making peoples food if you don't know what your doing! What really pissed me off was the manager asking me how that could ruin the sandwich, That's the whole purpose of ordering the sandwich DUMBASS! read more

This location is extremely unprofessional, unsanitary, incompetent, and disgusting. I order my food to go and the guy who took my order ask me 3 times was it to go and I answered yes, yet he still put it in the system for me to eat there. After waiting 20 mins, my order was never called for to go so I was very confused. Then I saw the manager with my food on a plate walking into the dining area. She proceeded to come back with my food to the window and she sat it there, proceeded to pull her mask down, and coughed on my food! That is the most egregious behavior I have ever seen at a restaurant and I hope health inspectors shut them down. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT COVID. read more

Been coming here since move 2 years ago the service and cleanliness gets the two stars this last time and Pryor were a major let down this time got the macalister's club while the sandwich ingredients, and the making is good the lack of meat n cheese is insulting I had one quarter of the sandwich with no bacon the one slice of cheese doesn't even cover the bread and as for the meat come on looks like less than 1 oz it's also put in the middle of the bread to give the illusion while the outside of sandwich has Zero for over 12 bucks would it hurt to add one slice of turkey so time to move on I do not recommend read more

Nope! Slimy salad greens is just a no go for me, was not able to eat. Club sandwich was just ok. Disappointed won't return.

This was ok. First of all, I had a hard time getting a parking space because of the location. The food was done pretty quick which was nice. But I wasn't crazy about the sandwich I picked, which was the ham and cheese and a few veggies. It was ok, nothing to brag about. Even though this place wasn't horrible, I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Great and consistent. Staff works very hard! Food came fast and order for seven people was exactly correct. read more

I realize that this is nothing more than a chain deli, so I was not expecting anything exceptional. HOWEVER, I do require that the counter staff be friendly. The woman who served us never cracked a smile, and seems to hate her job. My dining partner and I ordered different salads, but it was obvious that the lettuce came from the same source - about 50% "garbage," white iceberg stuff. What one expects to see in a McDonald's salad. Both of us spent the rest of the evening running to the restroom, so I will assume that the lettuce "had some issues." We had different dressings and toppings. El Pollo Loco has better salads! For that matter, so do Wendy's and Arby's. No plans to return. EDIT: Apparently, it IS "typical," as I have seen the same lousy lettuce in a few other visits (salads are harder to find in East TN). EDIT 2: My family has stopped going here - completely. read more

I've only ever had the same menu items when I dine here: BLT and Harvest Squash Soup. They're both fantastic: generous bacon, flavorful lettuce, toast not too crunchy, soup hearty and filling. One of these days, probably after they put my favorite soup away for the season, I'll have to find something else to pair with my BLT. read more

This location needs to be updated . My grilled chicken salad was good , ok at most . Def a sandwich stop . The club sandwich is much better than a salad . The cheese dip and chips are ideal here !!! Not to impressed but i def love the cheese dip . read more

It is my first visit here and I decided to try this place out because of the variety of food they offer on their menu. It was also cold out and felt a craving for chili. I ordered the traditional chili with California turkey rye as a side. The sandwich was delicious! It wasn't oily and burying with floor. Probably because of the rye bread. The chili was also delicious, though a bit salty. When I typically purchase chili on the go, it's usually from Wendy's, but this place is hands down, far better hands down. The environment was very clean and the staff mebers were nice. They deliver your food to your table, which I found to be very neat. The regular size cup for drinks is like an extra large in my opinion. You get a lot for your buck here, that's for sure. The price range was very affordable. Something like this is New York would cost an arm and a leg. I highly recommend this small treasure in Johnson City. I certainly will return in the future. The four star rating is for the chili that I found to be a bit too salty. Fix that, and this is a 5 star sandwich restaurant. read more

Great food all I order is the spudmax loaded bake potato its really tasty highly recommend

We love McAlisters but no cake any more and only cookies/brownie? Unfortunately that will lower the amount of times I visit there. The cake was one my deciding factors when on the bubble where to eat. Oh well...... read more

We usually think McAlisters deli is great, have eaten at them in several states. We had a roast beef cheddar baked potato today and the roast beef was no where near what you would expect from a deli it was riddled with gristle, un chewable, and nasty. Very disappointed! read more

There are plenty of restaurant chains that emulate delis but none that I have seen match McAlister's. That is not to say anyone could confuse this experience with a real NYC deli, but everyone I have seen is clean, attractive, and well-run. There is a good variety of tasty sandwiches, and they strike a good balance between the predictability of a Subway and the trendiness of Panera. I was disappointed that I did not have time or energy on this occasion to find something local, but I ended up having an excellent lunch. read more

I like their spuds and they used to have a really good fire roasted veggie soup. Love their tea! I will Def be back.

Freshest food in the area!! All these franchises nearby with garbage food - thank goodness we found McAlisters!! Excellent food and staff! Thanks for feeding my heart ! read more

I wanted to try this place because I have heard it is really good and that they have amazing sandwiches. When I went I got the McAlisters Club. It was really good and this is one of my favorite places to get a sandwich. read more

My last experience there. Our group was nearly finished and we were going to leave in 2 minutes. The restaurant had 5 minutes before it would close. The manager walked up to the table every 30 seconds during those 2 minutes we were finishing and reminded us they were closing in 5 minutes. It wouldn't have been so bad except the person who was trying to speak at the table had to repeat her entire thought at the start, 5 times. Before the manager unintentionally gave her enough time to finish when he didn't walk up within 30 seconds again. We group of 12 left tips like we usually do, and did each time we went there in the past. However we're not going back because of the actions of the manager. Some would say "But you're an individual". True, but I go with that group because of how fun they are. So when they eat out, I eat out. When they don't, I don't. I go where they decide to eat. read more

I had called to order some food for pickup. Someone named Diana answered the phone. As I was speaking to ask a question about pickup order she became very rude towards me and acted like it was a waist of time to get my order. Eventually she hung on me, so I never got even place an order to get something to go. Will not be returning. Horrible customer service. read more

Really good food. We had tried another one in SC and wasn't impressed. The Johnson City location is great. We had soup and half sandwich. Soups were hot and tasty and the bread was great on the sandwiches. We'll be back. read more

It's a chain deli. Food is good though, haven't been disappointed with anything that I've gotten. The staff at this location is very friendly and willing to help you. The place is nice and clean. read more

I eat there at least twice a month. The food is great and the service is great too. I love the baked potatoes and the chicken salad on croissant. I have tried other sandwiches which are great too but the chicken salad is my favorite. I would recommend McAlister's to everyone. read more
