We decided to go to lunch while we were in the Regency shopping center. Neither one of us have ever been before . The woman at the cash register was friendly and super helpful in making suggestions. My friend got the nachos and I got half a grilled chicken sandwich with a baked potato loaded with veggies and cheese. (The potato was so good but it was huge and I couldn't finish it). The grilled chicken sandwich was definitely the star. I don't know what they put on it but it was so good!. The lettuce, tomato were nice and fresh, the bun was soft. Everything came out piping hot. I also got a unsweetened iced tea and it was good too. The restaurant was well lit, clean tables&they bring your food to you. My friend said the portion for the nachos was big and it definitely was. read more

Who doesn't love a good soup and sandwich for lunch on a rainy day! Well, me apparently --especially when it costs $23 to have 1/2 a sandwich and a small cup of soup delivered 1.2 miles away. Never loved the place--can't hold a light to any of the dozen other soup and sandwich huts along N'ville Rd and the prices are way too high for the quality of food. And Door Dash it for lunch? Never again. read more

I like the new location for this restaurant. I ordered the Southwest Avocado Chicken sandwich. It was great and came out in a reasonable amount of time. The service was fine but they seemed a bit short staffed on this day. Only one person working the register and she also was tasked with fixing the drinks. Eating area was well lit and spacious. read more

Solid choice for a chain restaurant. They have a broad selection of salads, soups and sandwiches plus they have nachos too! For my office I ordered the Avocado Toast Bar and they delivered it for breakfast and everyone loved it! read more

They sandwiches are amazing and fresh as can be. The ingredients are quality as well. Happy to spend my money here

Was a customer at McAlister's in two other cities; but this was my first visit in Lexington. We had potato soup, chicken tortilla soup, potato salad and 1/2 New Yorker (corned beef and Pastrami) plus two iced teas. Everything was good, particularly the chicken soup and the potato salad....but the New Yorker was the best deli sandwich I've had in years! Fast friendly service & reasonable prices. We will return. read more

Good not great. It's worth a visit to give it a try, but it's nothing spectacular. For the price you do get a very large portion of food. The location isn't the most convenient, but they do validate parking which is very helpful read more

McAlister's Deli - Black Angus Roast Beef Spud - Delis Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

DoorDash delivery. Very fast and correct. Good communication from the restaurant about my order. I ordered the McAlister's club, which was fresh and flavorful. Has mayo and their brand honey mustard. Packed a bite. Fresh ingredients. I had chips and the chili. Chili was average, but not bad. Arrived hot and was a good contrast for the cold, crisp sandwich. I also got a cool little cucumber and onion salad, but the dressing was a little heavy. This deli has some classics, like the club, grilled chicken, and ham and cheese. They also have "bolder" choices, like the Reuben, the Italian, sandwiches with sauerkraut, and sandwiches with pastrami. They also have a French dip with au jus sauce. They have multiple salads and sides, including potato salad, Mac n cheese, and veggies. A good, basic deli with lots of choices. I would eat here again. read more

Small portions compared to all other McAlister's we've been to. Initially we were excited to get a convenient McAlister's near us, but we were soon disappointed when we saw our plates. read more

My fiancé who is recently getting to eat normally again after recovering from chemotherapy and breast cancer. Tried to eat here at 8:40pm on Saturday and order a baked potato. The kid said I'm sorry we just ran out of potatoes 20 minutes ago. I said really or are you just not wanting to cook a potato. He shrugged his shoulders and said have a good night and walked to the back. I hope he was able to get out and get downtown to the bar. Plus all the lights were shutoff like they were trying to shut it down as soon as possible. I will never try to eat here again or at another McAlisters.. read more

Staff had terrible attitudes. One young lady was kind. We tipped, but we won't be back. Food was okay.

Sandwiches are very good along with their salads. Their potato salad is out of this world. They did forget a very important condiment to my meal, but for the most part this is a great deli. So far it's the best deli in Lexington. They could put a bit more bacon on the club sandwich instead of just putting a half strip on each half. You should be able to taste the bacon on the club, but they throw it on there in tiny pieces like an afterthought. read more

$18 for a "meal" with not even a drink. 1/4 of mac & cheese for a side. Will never be back to this awful establishment. Whoever made this food should be deeply ashamed of themselves and whoever is in charge of pricing should play in traffic at 5pm on a weekday read more

Worked with Curt to have food delivered for 20 people for my daughter's birthday, at her place of work. Feedback - food was delicious, delivery was on time and everyone enjoyed their lunch. Thank you, Curt, and McAlister's for making her day special! Kathleen read more

I have been to McAlister's several times in Richmond, but I rarely go to this location. The food remains consistent. It's great. I usually get the pick 2. It's a great deal and it allows you to sample different items on the menu. The ultimate nachos is a great go to. It is both filling and satisfying. I had a small issue with the veggie potato. The peppers were not cut into bite size pieces. Yes, I can cut them myself but it diminished my experience at this restaurant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

I like the iced tea. They get one star for that. Everything else about this was either terrible or underwhelming. I ordered the soup and muffeletta. The soup was warm, almost cold. It's like they turned off the soup heaters already. The sandwich should have a copious amount of olive spread, this had maybe a tea spoon on the sandwich. And the worst offence was the dirty plate. It was like this gray soap scum on the plate. My husband thought it was just stained, but I could scratch it off with my finger. *GROSS* I believe this is the last time I will be visiting this location. read more

i really want to like this place. the food is tasty, it's decently priced for the portions you get and all of my friends love it. the problem i have isn't with the food, it's with how the food makes you feel hours later. i have now ordered from here twice, both times delivery, and gotten sick from it both times and so did my fiancé. the first time i got the rueben and this time i got the choose two broccoli cheddar soup and some really yummy beef horseradish sandwich. the food is GOOD do not get that wrong but man, it doesn't settle well. think food poisoning for both times. i was in disbelief but there are MANY reviews of people getting food poisoning from different mcalisters locations across the US on "iwaspoisoned.com". that website works the same way this one does but you mark places you have been food poisoned at. read more

Veggie Spud Everytime we order Togo from this location it is always messed up. This was supposed to be a veggie spud. It has a couple peppers and lettuce and that's about it. They also forgot the entire French dip sandwich. No cheese no butter no nothing. We tried to call the store and they said there was nothing they could do unless we came into the store. Will never order Togo from there again. read more

Excellent McAlister's location. Restaurant was super clean, staff very nice and food was great. Ready when we got there from our online order, and not one thing wrong. We were given a free parking to park in the garage near the business and my fault I lost the free pass. I was so pissed at myself for doing so. Little did I know that I believe one of the managers was behind me to get out of the garage a heard me being mad out loud at myself and she did the unthinkable. She went above and beyond, got out of her car and had recognized us from the restaurant and scanned her monthly pass to let me out. I can not say enough about the Customer service and overall experience. Truly a rarity in these days to be treated so wonderfully from start to finish. Highly recommend McAlister's already, but now this location has us as patrons for life. Thank you all at McAlister's Lexington for going above and beyond. read more

I have never received a worse excuse for food in my life. For $11 I received a half club sandwich. Trust me, two saltine crackers would have been plenty for the whole thing. Half chef salad.... I won't even get started on that.... Kids size baked potato.... Good thing I wasn't feeding a child. It was cold, half cooked and mealy, like it had been cooked for way too long. We're not even braving the other sandwich....., especially after trying the pittance of turkey that was so stringy it was amazing. I never knew you could get turkey that didn't require ar least a couple of chews to digest.... This stuff dissolved like a tums. we're both so disgusted by the "food" I don't dare try the carrot cake. I'm afraid.... read more

How do you know a restaurant has completely given up on cleanliness and quality? When you walk in and see junk, boxes, and clutter piled up on tables in eating areas. This place goes from bad to worse. read more

First time coming here and will definitely be back! So many choices from salads, sandwiches, potatoes and soups! The atmosphere was calm and friendly. I got the pick 2 with the peppercorn Turkey club sandwich and the chef salad. They were both delicious! Only things I would point out is I wish there was a little more meat in the chef salad to balance it out. Also their Dr. Pepper was a little flat. Other than that I would definitely reccomend trying this place out. To me it compares to Panera bread read more

We love the selections on the menu at McAlister's. The food is always great and this location is always clean!!!

Came in at 6:30pm and they lied about not having any Mac and cheese even though other people were getting it. Caesar salad was warm. Lights were dark like it was closed. Workers were hiding in the back when we came in. read more

McAlister's, you're getting a two, and that's solely because your local staff is so good, and so spotless, that the local people working in this location bring you up to a 2/5. I'm a restaurant cook myself, I can tell that the people working here are doing their damnedest to be friendly, clean, polite, fast, every good thing that a restaurant employee could possibly do to make a restaurant successful. The fault doesn't lie with them McAlister's. It lies with you, the corporate chain. Ready for the harsh criticism? Hear they come, ready and numbered. #1) I ordered a French Dip sandwich, a bag of chips, a small cup of chicken tortilla soup, and a lemonade for lunch. The French Dip + chips costs $9.00 or so, which is a completely fair price to pay for a good sandwich in a good deli. No problem with that. The problem is, it's not much of a sandwich, in terms of portion size. C'mon man, if people are going to a deli to buy a good sandwich, they're expecting to get a full lunch worth of sandwich. I'm not expecting dinner here, but for lunch? C'mon man, your sandwiches are skimpy. #2) the chicken tortilla soup. Well, it tastes like it has some fajita seasoning in it. Buying a cup of a popular, well-known dish like "chicken tortilla soup", you might expect that *maybe* it might have some actual chicken in it, or some beans, or rice, or peppers, or any of the actual, real-world meat & vegetables that everyone else on Earth have agreed constitute the dish known as "chicken tortilla soup". What the fuck is wrong with you?!? If your restaurant can't produce soup, then don't put soup on the menu. This is a huge sticking point for me, because this is how I learned prep cooking, when I was first moving up from the dish room to the line: You learn how to properly handle kitchen tools, you make the soup for the day (the "soup du jour" if you're so bold as to actually learn a goddamned thing about having a restaurant that serves real food)... ugh, fuck off. Instead, you serve this viscous fluid with no actual meat or vegetables in it, that vaguely tastes like fajita seasoning. You can fuck off entirely with this homogenous garbage that I'm completely certain came out of a plastic bag. #3) your booths suck. It's uncomfortable to sit in them. Your restaurant is not a relaxing, enjoyable place to sit down and eat in. #4) parking isn't convenient. This one isn't even McAlister's (the corporate chain) problem, so much as a city problem. Nonetheless, don't expect an easy way to park your car feeding a meter, or dicking around with a parking garage. A good thing I can say for you McAlister's, when I was walking in for my lunch, your food delivery guy had just pulled his truck up and was unloading cases of fresh potatoes into your kitchen. Again, as a cook myself, I've 100% had that job, of being the kitchen guy that had to check all those cases and sign off on the delivery. I can say, when you buy a baked potato from McAlister's, at least it was freshly delivered? Because, ya'know, it's this giant feat of culinary excellence to bake a potato and put some toppings on it. McAlister's corporate PR guy that looks at this review, don't you dare get mad and take it out on the local staff in this one location. Everything about the people here was top-notch. Again, restaurant guy, cook, whatever you want to call me, these people did the absolute best you could possible expect them to do, given the shitty tools you gave them. Their restaurant was clean, spotless, the service staff was friendly, helpful, fast, but not in a rush, considerate of the customer in every way, had their location following all local codes regarding social distancing, everything that a reasonable person could possibly expect from a restaurant that wants to operate cleanly and make some money by producing a good product for a reasonable price. No, you hypothetical McAlister's corporate straw man, the fault lies squarely with you, and what you consider a "deli" that any real person with any sort of common sense would buy from. Boo McAlister's. Boo! read more

You can generally depend on McCallisters to deliver, but, not the one in Richmond, KY! Three complaints and they're major. One, the wait time. I ordered two simple to prepare items. roast beef on cheddar, AND, a bowl of vegetarian chili. So in order of grievances they are as follows: The restaurant was NOT busy, probably ten other customers. I waited almost exactly 30 minutes for the above order. Again, I was alone, and I had ordered two things, one of which was simply a bowl of chili! As I was preparing to inform the manager "I'm leaving and want my money back!" the food was brought to me. The sandwich was a Panini, NOT, what I had ordered, and the chili was thin, soupy, and get this: the bowl was literally just slightly over half full.Huh? $14, Yes I'm telling the truth, for a small Panini that I didn't order, a half-bowl of below mediocre chili, delivered in 30 minutes and finally, let me add that McCallisters I've been in around Georgia and Tennessee are generally bright, clean, an attractive restaurants. Not this one. It sits on the bottom level of a dated, dingy strip-mall and the restaurant itself seems poorly lit, and as dingy inside as outside. Terrible McCallisters. As other reviewer noted, "worst in the nation if not the world!" read more

McAlester's never disappoints. The food is always great and the food is always made how I ask.

I thought that I would try this deli. I ordered online as I can never tell where to park. Most of the food was delivered and tasted good. Unfortunately the pickles I added were not included despite being on the receipt. The manager seemed to make it as if I just couldn't find them, which I did not appreciate. Fortunately the sandwiches were good, so I will try once again with hopes that they fulfill the order correctly. read more

McAlister's Deli - Love the sweet tea! - Delis Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This location continues to befuddle me. On one hand, the food is decent and my interactions over the years with management has been great. However, this is the third time I have ordered food online and had to wait 10-15 minutes past my projected pick up. That actually ISN'T the issue. While waiting I get to sit and watch other customer interactions, etc. For the third time, I've heard swearing from the kitchen. Loud swearing. It's off putting. Today it was a shout of "GODDA***T!" In addition, our counter gentleman was rude to several customers. Very short. Unpleasant. So much so that another waiting patron said to me, "He's in a bad mood, huh?" I don't know what to say other than while the food is adequate for a quick deli grab...the staff makes it feel sad. read more
