Southwest chicken and avocado salad
Joy R.

Quick dinner while in town for a track meet at Liberty University. The southwest chicken and avocado salad was pretty tasty! And be warned: it's huge! Ask for an extra dressing.

I visited this McAlister's craving their black angus king club sandwich which uselly is really good. I always order extra horseradish sauce on the side as it makes the whole sandwich experience better....after ordering my sandwich , cup of soup and beverage. I had a seat and when the food arrived I noticed there was no sauce on the side I went to the counter to request a cup of it and was told they were out...I then asked soooo there's none on my sandwich? They had just put mayo on it and sent it out. I attempted to eat the sandwich of disappointment but it just sucked ass without it and I ended up leaving 90% of it the cup of soup was just ok. My biggest gripe is this when I ask for extra sauce on the side and you are out of it totally please communicate that to the people taking orders if I had known I would have ordered something else instead of spending 25.00$ on a shitty sandwich.

McAllister's deli is a great place for lunch. It's One of my favorite places to go for lunch. They have a wide selection of things to eat sandwiches, soups, soup in a bread bowl, salads and baked potatoes all which I can tell you are amazing. They also have a pretty good chili as well. So far I've had a little bit of everything there and I've never been disappointed when I leave. The baked potatoes are absolutely huge if you get a whole one so be hungry. The soup in a bread bowl is my favorite and usually I get French onion or chicken noodle. Both are great. The sandwiches there are great as well which I've had a variety of those an they don't skimp on how much they give you which makes the price well worth the food. It's always very clean and customer service is great. If you haven't been to McAllister's I suggest trying it you won't be disappointed.

First time here and I'll be back! My hubby's King Club was HUGE but he finished it. My Au Jus sandwich (just a half) was very tasty and the perfect for me. Staff was very friendly, and the place was very welcoming.

Vs what I ordered.

Good for lunch. A diversified menu. They have eliminated some dishes since I started going there over 8 years ago. Some I really liked.

Their sweet & smoky chicken sandwich, made with grilled chicken and barbecue sauce on a ciabatta roll, is very good!

I had the roasted chicken salad. They must store the chicken in water. I have never had watery chicken before. It was beyond unappetizing.

This place is always on point with their food and service! No matter how busy they are they remain…read moreconsistent on quality-I never have to worry about going there. The mimosas are fantastic, so many varieties. If you can't decide they have a flight called,"My girlfriend can't decide ", where you choose 3 different flavored mimosas at a great deal! The Water Dog also has the best omelettes and grits around ! The grits are always creamy and come out hot (theirs always comes out hot-I can't stand to have cold food delivered to me). The omelettes are huge, I can never finish it in one seating, they are fluffy and loaded with whatever ingredient you choose. Let's not forget the eggs benedict! You get perfect poached eggs(not overcooked) and just the right amount of hollandaise so you have some with every bite. The outdoor seating (heated when necessary) is pet friendly if you'd like to bring your fur baby in which they also provide water bowls. Whatever you get there you will not be disappointed in the service , food and drinks. My husband and I love this place!

Great setting with a variety of seating (high tops, low tops & picnic tables) outside. Dogs are…read moreclearly welcome. And ours appreciated the pets from our server. It's next to a small playground and new amphitheater, so I'm sure this place gets quite busy on weekends. We all enjoyed our lunches; just unfortunate that it took well over a half hour to receive them. Since we were traveling home to OH, we weren't too keen for a laid back lunch.
