    My son had been wanting to try this place for quite a while! The food was good. But my fees and delivery charge kept changing while ordering online. I emailed customer service, but got a less than helpful response. Still questionable if we will ever go back.

    Half McAlister's Club, half Pecanberry Salad

    We chose McAlister's today attempting to eat less processed, healthier foods. We were not disappointed!! The pecan berry salad hit it out of the park for me. The flavors are astounding!! The half/half portions were still pretty large yet not not so large that it left us feeling too full. My mom had the south west chicken avocado salad and the half memphian sandwich. She said the food was excellent! Flavorful and fresh. Bathrooms were clean, seating area was clean. Overall it was beyond a pleasurable experience. We will be back for sure!

    Found this McAlister's Deli by mistake and it was a good thing. It's off of 48th Street in Lincoln with plenty of parking spaces in front and along the side of the business. Service was excellent with ordering, food was bought out quickly, and the food was very good. I ordered the Southwest Chicken sandwich with potato salad and a fountain drink. There were no lids for the drinks but that was the only issue I had. The place is very clean, bathrooms are well maintained, and they clear the tables quickly once people leave. Great lunch stop.

    Came in for the first time and tried the Pecanberry salad. Holy forking shirtballs it was AMAZING! The restaurant was clean and the staff was incredibly patient being that it was my first time. I will definitely be back again.

    Chicken Cesar Wrap

    There are better sandwich places if that's what you're after. I ordered a grilled chicken cesar wrap and it definitely left me wanting more. Very basic chicken, lettuce, and dressing with a subpar tortilla that was on the dry side. Very expensive too in my opinion. However, the lemonade was delicious and my favorite part of the whole meal so that is a must try.

    It's similar to most sandwich places. They have a variety of options to choose from. Service is super quick. Everything is freshly made

    The food was really fresh and great, the only reason I give it 3 stars is because the drive thru line was ridiculously long

    Very uncomfortable dining room, the managers stared at us while we were eating. The food was very mediocre, definitely don't recommend!

    For many years, The Eatery has been a fixture in east-central Lincoln. I'd heard plenty of positive…read morecomments about the restaurant over the years, so I finally decided to stop in for lunch and see what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first impression could use some improvement. Upon entering, guests step into a small lobby with two interior doors--one designated as the entrance and the other as the exit. Once inside, a host greets you, hands you a menu, and escorts you to your table. Along the way, you pass the restaurant's salad bar, which should serve as an inviting showcase of the food offered inside. Instead, the salad bar was the low point of my visit. On the day I was there, it appeared messy and poorly maintained. A salad bar requires constant attention to keep it looking fresh, attractive, and clean, and that simply wasn't the case during my visit. Given its prominent location, it creates an impression that management should work harder to improve. The Eatery's menu, however, is extensive and impressive. There's truly something for everyone. The unlimited salad bar is priced at $14.99, or $7.99 when added to an entrée. Based on what I observed, that seemed a bit steep, so I decided to pass. Instead, I ordered the Smokey Chicken Stacker with fries on the recommendation of my server. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The sandwich was flavorful, the fries were perfectly prepared, and the meal arrived at my table less than ten minutes after ordering--a testament to an efficient kitchen. Overall, I came away believing that The Eatery serves solid food, but the décor, atmosphere, and overall layout feel somewhat dated and uninspiring. The appearance of the salad bar was the biggest negative of the experience for me. Would I return? If I lived or worked in the neighborhood, probably yes. However, since I don't, it's unlikely that I would make a special trip back.

    Had a quick lunch with a friend. Joined him in a both and…read morethe waitress came right by to ask what I would like to drink. When she brought that over we were ready to order. I just had a basic cheese burger and onion rings. It all looked and tasted great. Really hit the spot. Thanks.
