Plus get some sandwiches To-Go for tomorrow's lunch I will tell you that I've never found a fresher hoagie than Capriotti's. Never found a tastier, never found the quality meats and ingredients like Capriotti's. Capriotti's is second to NONE. SERIOUSLY! We devoured our food so of course I forgot to take pics ‍ But I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak which is the BEST Philly I have ever had and I seek them out! Trust me! I don't know if I'm the only one who does this but I make sure I have Lea Perrins Worcestershire anytime I have a Philly Cheesesteak and I came prepared. The hubby got his #1 which was a Bobbie warmed. The kid tried the Loaded Fries with Pastrami and Provolone and Russian dressing on the side because she wasn't sure if she would like it. She LOVED it! The Pastrami is so good, so tender! Big enough portion for an 11 year old to have leftovers even. The hubby and I got Bobbie's To-Go for tomorrow's lunch and we the kid got a baked Capastrami To-Go for tomorrow's lunch. Caleb came up front to help out the new kid and was so patient with my order changes and kind. Both were very welcoming and personable. Deja came up to the front for a minute and I said hello. She was so helpful last time we were here. Thanks to the Caps crew for making the best sandwiches, once again! You guys never disappoint. I can honestly say the location here beats any of our Las Vegas locations we used to frequent when we lived there. The dining room is spacious and modern with two televisions for entertainment. Hope we can make it back soon!

The service was very good. Very polite and attentive. As an aside, I have to say that wanting a tip for just making sandwiches, is annoying. Anyway, I wound up tipping 10%,which was about $3.50. It's crazy how the prices jumped! $7.99 for a mini, which is 4 inches long. I got an Italian sub and got the small size for $10.99! And that's without even a pickle to keep it company! My husband ordered a tuna sub, a medium for $11.99! And an order of fries for $3.99. The fries were delicious, crispy and hot, right out of the fryer. The meat on my sub was indistinguishable. It tasted alright but not like a real Italian submarine. I have to add that the table was dirty and we had to clean it before sitting down. I guess we have to lower our expectations or just stay home.

This would reduce my commute to Roy's out in Smyrna and put them within five minutes of my office every Thursday. So yesterday, I headed over to Street Food Thursday and got in line. The first thing I noticed about Roy's was that the customer queue was longer than that of all of the competing food trucks. I thought to myself, "This is a good sign - they're already popular." This turned out to be an illusion of sorts. After hopping in line, I came to realization that the reason for the long line wasn't that more customers were being served, but rather that the line was slow moving. I watched as others walked up to other surrounding trucks and walked away with their food in minutes flat. I thought to myself again, "Well the only reason the line is slow moving is because they cook to order." Fresh food is good food, right? Wrong. When I unwrapped the sandwich, I realized it was completely tepid. I took a bite. My teeth took temporary pause at completely unmelted cheese (see photo). This unmelted cheese gave way (with much resistance) to some of the most flavorless steak I've ever had. Completely unseasoned. While the bread and onions were quite good, the sandwich was an utter disappointment. Was this the result of a cheesesteak never being able to live up to my heady expectations? I unwrapped my second one (yes, I got two). It was just as bad as the first. Roy, if you're reading this, get some quality control on your truck. There's really no excuse for unseasoned meat and completely unmelted cheese.

The food is always great and the service is normal good as well. However today I ordered for the company and got some call center (always a horrifying experience). Their printable menu lists mashed potatoes as a side ( with no prices btw). When i ordered they told me they dont do mashed potatoes as a side anymore but would happily give it to us just this time. I didnt fight them on the mashed potatoes i wouldve just told my employee to pick a different side however if you say thats what we can get, that should be in our order. I get there and the nice girl at the counter asked me what my side i wanted. I explained to her the situation so they just gave us some poatao salad (which went uneaten...not a fan.) Instead. Again we would choose something else, but now my employee is out a side that they paid for. Get rid of the call center and use your employees. They know your menu and policies waaaay better. I wont be calling in our company orders again. read more

Good food but general management is awful. 5 months on the job and full time employees are not getting insurance as promised. Employees have been hired through breech of verbal contracts from the GM, Workers are over worked, working 12+ hours, and they are putting employees and their families at harm for contracting or spreading this Covid 19 virus by allowing them to be exposed to outside customers. This particular Marietta franchise owner is only seeking money not the saftey and the health of his employees...selfishness. they need hazardous pay or since they dont have a drive through take phone orders only for delivery or pickup with limited contact with outside customers. You have employees with families and small children that you are putting at risk read more

This review is for the location in Kennesaw. The new manager is not a customer oriented person. I am not sure why they are remodeling this location since he does not value eat in customers. I went there today and ordered my food. After I ordered I was told it would be 30 minutes because they had catering and online orders to take care of first! When I questioned the new manager McKenzie about this, he told me to get out of his restaurant. I have never been treated so rudely. Another customer started talking to me and he kicked her out too! I love McAlisters food but this location needs a new manager! read more

So I've visited this establishment on several occasions, we actually get salads often yet against my better judgement I wanted too see how the potato's tasted. Only to be given an old reheated potato that wasn't worth serving to anyone, this has left a very bad taste in my mouth. For I am a culinary professional and I'm in Restaurant Management. Totally disappointed with this establishment I won't be back none of 2021!!! read more

I've ordered from McAlisters in person, over the phone and by using MobileWaiter. Everytime has been outstanding. The food is simply amazing for the price. (It's a deli so the price shouldn't be too high) but I easily prefer McAlisters over similar restaurants like Panera or Atlanta Bread. They have very good customer service (from my 10 or so experiences) and best of all, their brownies are delicious. read more

Literally the BEST million dollar bacon I've had in the Atlanta! The thing I LOVE about First Watch…read moreis the fact that their food and refreshments are fresh. They have fresh squeezed juice that is a must try when you go. I received great service from the employees at this location. The establishment is very clean and seems to pass majority, if not, all health and safety requirements. The restaurant is in a plaza, so, there is plenty of parking that is convenient for you. I believe the hours are only until 2pm, and, they tend to bring in a large crowd. Therefore, I advise planning on getting here no later than 12:30, so you have an ample amount of time to be seated and enjoy your food Speaking of food, I would say, for the most part, our dishes were delicious. As I said, the food is fresh so you walk away not feeling overstuffed if you wish to indulge in a lot of food (which I recommend ) The only feedback I have is the Carne Asada tacos lacked a little flavor. Not the entire taco as a whole, but the meat itself- I was able to tell when I tried this dish. I am, shower, very particular with my Carne Asada you have to put the perfect amount of seasoning and the right kind of seasoning along with cooking it a certain way to get a good asada. My favorite course, was the bacon, along with the farmhouse bowl. It was the perfect blend of meat, potato, herbs, & fresh eggs. I added arugula to throw on some extra veggies to my dish and it definitely enhanced it in the best way Overall, First Watch is a staple and I highly recommend you take a visit!

The food came out really fast and was an average portion. There were people who lunch and older couples enjoying their food. Service was very pleasant as I asked to move to a table with an outlet.

Ok. So ... I ventured back in today. And I'd have to rate them between 4 - 4 .5 stars…read more The same dude from last night was still working - being a rockstar - answering phones, handling the register, making sandwiches and hustling food out to waiting cars. There were two other dudes working (one guy was was also making sando's and the other was working the flat top with great mastery). The restaurant was EXTREMELY busy, and all employees were polite. Restaurant was clean. They also offer wraps and subs in a tub (aka subs without the bread for all my keto-ians). So why 4 - 4.5 stars? Unsure if these are location-specific or Jersey Mike's general franchise issues: a) Even though pandemic cases are ramping up AND we're in the middle of cold & flu season, staff doesn't wear masks here. I'm not super-militant when it comes to pandemic stuff, but I do believe folks working in food service (since they're breathing over your food) should wear masks. See also Item (b) below. b) The Jersey Mike's signage and cup placement could use some tweaking. Ok. So while waiting to place my order, I was doing 6 ft social distancing, there was a female customer standing in front of the veggie toppings area. She was standing with hands on her hips scowling at the veggies, employees and customers. She kept fidgeting with her mouth and nose and back pocket. And then, when she asked the employee about drinks, she actually took her filthy hand and pointed to cups and touched one of the stacked cups. ARGH. Right on the rim of the cup. I'm not sure why she felt the need to touch the cups (like a freakin' toddler). But as someone who can't use drinking straws due to a medical issue, I have to put my lips on a cup to drink. So it drives me crazy when people put their hands where I ultimately have to put my lips. (Some servers hold the cup this way.) Jersey Mikes - please, move those cups behind the register. Or somewhere out of customers' reach. When I was asked what I wanted to order, I said I wanted a philly cheese steak. The employee said, "So you want a #17. Do you want everything - onions, peppers?" I asked if they were bell peppers or jalapeno peppers. He advised that they were 'sweet peppers.' I told him No peppers, and I added mushrooms. (I didn't discover until later tonight when I went to the website hours later, that they, do in fact, have green bell peppers.) ARGH. While in the car I realized they use white American cheese and not provolone. Double ARGH. Since you can't see the topping offerings unless your standing in front of them (and I couldn't see thanks to Miss Cup Toucher), it would be great if the signage listed 1) all the available toppings and 2) all the types of bread and 3) all the types of cheeses. c) The Jersey Mike's app is pretty awful. Once I realized my sandwich had white American cheese instead of provolone, I decided to order another sandwich using the phone app whilst still in the parking lot. I figured I would give the white American version to my booski. When I tried to order my sandwich on the phone app, I discovered that there does not appear to be a way to build a sandwich 'from scratch.' The system forces you to pick one of their sandwiches, then customize it. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the cheese type on #17. There is a place for special Notes. But each time I tried to type stuff in that field, I kept getting red text warning telling me to use the checkboxes to modify / customize, yet there was no checkbox for what I was trying to do. Unless I overlooked it, there was no way to add anything but bacon, extra cheese and mushrooms (they charge mushrooms btw). You cannot add lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc. to #17. Not that I would want that on my Philly - lol - but kinda odd not to have the option. I wound up going BACK inside to place a new order. The employee handled the situation very graciously and professionally. On a final note, I saw an employee forget to discard his gloves after taking food outside. During his rush to assist customers, after one of his trips, he came straight back behind the counter and started handling bread. The next time he ventured out, I watched him trash the gloves upon his return. And the third time, he trashed them, so the one time I witnessed was clearly a mistake. People are human and make mistakes, but I was SO glad that he realized his error because I was really nervous that I was going to have to ask him to change the gloves before he made my sandwich. Overall - I had a good visit and would go back, but I wish the app allowed for more customization so that I could place an online order. App says they have white, wheat, rosemary parmesan and Udi's gluten free bread. Reddit says they have Swiss, provolone & white American cheese. Looks like no cheddar or yellow American. Reddit also says they have bacon (upcharge), portabella mushrooms (upcharge), green peppers, red/green pepper strips, jalapeños, onions, lettuce, tomatoes.
