    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.

    Very good food & very clean with friendly staff. I had the French Dip & Kim had a Club Sandwich. Food was great!

    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!

    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!

    This is the best-kept lunchtime secret in Lincoln! It's my favorite sandwich place in town, and…read morewith all of the hype about the East Campus Dairy Store, the Corner Deli is way underrated. Made-to-order sandwiches, nachos, & more. You can add havarti, blue cheese, & lots of other yummy ingredients you won't find at a franchise chain. Where else can you order a "Bo Panini"? Ha! If you're tired of fries, get chips OR a side salad OR fresh fruit OR your choice of soup to go with your sandwich. You can get a fountain pop OR a smoothie OR bottle of Naked Juice OR plenty of other things. I usually get my order to-go, but there's plenty of seating in the union. You can read a free copy of the Daily Nebraskan, or watch people bowl :) TIPS: - Park in the north lot marked "Faculty Only". There is metered visitor parking next to the union. - Get there before noon to avoid waiting in line behind hungry Ag & Dentistry students. - BRING CASH. The Deli doesn't accept checks or plastic (except for the University's N-Card). If you forget, there's an ATM next to the West entrance.

    This place is a nice surprise. It's a little tiny kitchen, almost a niche, in the East Union. They…read morehave sandwiches, burritos, and pizzas, all of them made Subway-style. You order at the entrance and they make your sandwich/pizza/burrito from a selection of about 40 toppings, and slap it in the appropriate oven. I had a Mediterranean pannini, which had feta, an olive and tomato salsa, lettuce, tomato, and turkey on ciabatta. No complaints, though I don't love olives. For a giant $4 cafe-style sandwich I'm not going to complain. In fact, I'm going to return. But nothing has changed in the 3+ years since the last review. They don't do credit cards. Cash or get lost.

    Stinky little store. I kept coming up with theories all the way through it as to why that was…read more Maybe it's old? Maybe its not very clean? Maybe its clientele all wear adult diapers they need to go home and change? I dont know, but I was afraid to buy any perishables as a result. Tiny, but ok selection of most things, except for Chobani Flips (which I was too afraid to buy), I dont know if they sell any fresh meat, they had processed meats (also, which I didn't buy or even look at.) Only one kind of eggs: store brand 12 pack, no Egglands Best omega 3 eggs for anyone in town. Most of the fresh produce looked pretty good, as did the bagged salads and lettuce blends in back of the others. The ones in front were pretty not good. Prices on some things store wide were really, really high ($7 for 28 tampons) Some things were priced really low (.69 cilantro! Dried spice form, I dont think they sell it fresh) a mixed bag of unpredictableness in pricing and selection. . If I lived in this town, sure I'd shop there. But I wouldn't like it, and maybe I'd go full vegetarian. Located walking distance from a truck stop (if you dont get caught by the railroad police and forced to go around the train tracks the long way, instead of zipping straight across them and turning left;)), or you can get delivery by instacart, but be careful on the prepped, bagged produce. That stuff isn't all fresh and rosy. Make sure you put instructions in there for your personal shopper to grab you a bag from behind all the ones in front if you go that route.

    I always like the friendliness at Havelock, not to mention the "small town atmosphere inside"read more
