    Reminded me of purgatory. The food was really bland, flavorless. Service was good but how can you mess something like that up? The price was 23$ for a single meal with a drink which was the whole point as to why I'm writing this and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was alright. Felt like I was in a doctor's waiting room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wouldn't suggest this place. High school cafeteria food.

    Turkey French Dip
    Ryan P.

    We picked up lunch on Wednesday (2/19), and were very disappointed in what we received. Ordered a turkey French dip with cheese, they didn't include cheese on half the sandwich (which we were charged for). Additionally, we got a you pick 2 and the sandwich with the combo was far from 6 inches. They also forgot the tomato bisque soup that was ordered as a side for the turkey French dip. Really bad experience here, it would be ideal to get a gift card or free entree for next time. Lastly, the cost...completely outrageous. $50 for a combo, a 12 inch turkey sandwich and 2 large drinks. Astronomic and not even great quality.

    This is the best deli! I'm addicted. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and the meats I've had so far are by far the best. The New Yorker and French Dip are amazing. Especially, the French Dip with Angus beef! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean, the staff is so very nice and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service with a smile. Love this place. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. Vegetables are so crisp and fresh. Oh, I forgot to mention potato salad and pickle slice were delicious, as well. Plenty of parking and handicap parking.

    EVERY staff member says "hello! Welcome to McAlister's" upon entering! I mean EVERY STAFF!! They did that for me and I observed them consistently do so with everyone that entered. It was such a nice energy to walk into plus it keeps all the employees engaged. I liked it. I had my usual Savannah chopped salad, it's a delicious salad w chicken slices and a delicious sherry shallot dressing. Many other delicious options but this one is my trusty go to.

    I wish I could say I like this place the food is just OK sometime it good and others it just flat out bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The over all groove of this place is nice and modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is nothing special seriously this one little girl always is so rude and disrespectful to us the paying customer. Do better McAlisters.

    They were busy but the staff were really nice. The sandwich was good and the soup was good as well .

    Cobb salad, baked potato, Mcallister's special

    We went on a Saturday around 7pm, and it was nice not to be so busy... we didn't have a long wait. Workers were very well-mannered and attentive. There were several parties of small groups and families, and it was still a quaint environment to eat in. We could hear each other still while enjoying our good food! Side salad was gigantic and the chili lime vinaigrette was delish. Everyone at the table was content with the food - sandwiches, salad, baked potato... we got dessert to go. A little pricey for a deli, but we were not disappointed at all!

    It's always so good eating here, the lady who took our order helped me decide what sounded best and even recommended the 50/50 because I couldn't decide between a sandwhich and a salad. All the tables were clean so we could sit anywhere but chose a booth and I swear I went to the bathroom for 3 minutes and it was on the table, I couldn't believe how fast it was. I also tried by boyfriend broccoli cheddar soup and I should've got my own because now it's all I want when I'm sick

    Mac & Cheese

    Took almost 30 minutes to get our food when we ordered for pickup, we gave them the benefit of the doubt because of how busy it was. When we opened the bag, there was no excuse for this monstrosity. My turkey toastie was soggy, the chili tasted like road pavement and the Mac & Cheese was a waste of $1.49. If I wanted a side of cheese, I'd ask for it and would wait 30 minutes for that too. It would've been worth it if it would've tasted half as good as food from the Dona Ana county detention center. They have a case of amnesia in there because not only did they forget napkins, they forgot to take off tomatoes on our sandwich too. It's gonna be awhile till I go back, no thanks to you McAlister's.

    The food is expensive for wilted lettuce and slim amounts of food. The customer service attitude.

    The service here was top notch, staff are so friendly. They have the best broccoli/cheddar soup I'd ever had. The sandwiches were amazing.

    Our son was recently visiting us from Rio Rancho. He wanted to try Pecan Grill but it was Monday…read moreand they were closed. My wife suggested to go to Santorini instead. He ordered Spanakopita and to share a Greek Salad, rice and French Fries. My wife ordered a chicken gyros and I ordered the Baba Ghanoush sandwich on a Greek pita prepared with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and Kalamata olives. My wife and I have been there before a few times and we figured our son who is a foodie would like it. The server was outstanding but I don't recall her name. When we left, our son said that now Santorini is another favorite restaurant when visiting Las Cruces.

    Unfortunately, our experience started off poorly the moment we walked in. We were immediately told…read morethat the kitchen was very busy and that orders would not be taken for another 30 minutes, which we completely understood and were willing to wait for. However, the way this information was communicated made us feel unwelcome. The hostess's response came across as dismissive and sarcastic when she asked, "You want to wait 30 minutes?!?" after we had already agreed. We were then met with continued frustration and a lack of hospitality while trying to simply be patient customers. We ultimately decided to leave because the interaction made us feel like our business was not wanted. I understand that restaurants get busy and delays happen, but a little professionalism and a welcoming attitude go a long way. The issue was not the wait time -- it was the way we were treated.
