    Inside the restaurant menu on the wall
    June F.

    Made a stop driving through town. Service wasn't too bad. Food was pretty good like any other McAlister's. Capacity was limited so half of tables in the restaurant weren't available. When we got our food looking for a table to sit, there was only one clean table available. Not sure if they were understaffed but there were so many tables that needed to be cleaned. I didn't think the restaurant was that busy.

    The McAllister Club

    Stopped for lunch on our way to Gatlinburg. I had the McAllister club and the hubby had the tortilla soup. He was not impressed with the soup at all. I enjoyed my sandwich but the fruit cup was very small. The staff was friendly and professional. The prices were average. The place was clean and up todate. Not to loud. Might try again.

    BLTA
    Key W.

    My first time trying McAlister's and I've already decided I will not be back. I waited an additional 20 mins after my order was supposed to be ready. But that wasn't a huge deal. My problem is getting to my destination to realize my order was made incorrectly. How you make a BLT-A with NO BACON is beyond me. The avocado on the sandwich was also brown, meaning it had been sitting out and on top of that my veggie spud did not include cheese. All of these ingredients are included in the pictures on the menu so I don't understand how anyone could possibly mess that up. I called and I was offered a remake if I come back up to the restaurant which wasn't an option so I am extremely disappointed. Won't be back. Don't recommend.

    This is the BLT with Avocado Sandwich.

    This is the BLT with Avocado Sandwich. The bacon was stated to be thick applewood bacon. It is so thin and crispy there is no flavor. You would think the sauces on the bread would add flavor. However the sauce was so skimpy, that the sandwich was dry and tasteless. The cook was lazy. There was an hour and a half left and the cook decided that he had no potatoes too cook. The girl at the register ask the cook are you serious! He said tell them they will have to wait 45 mins for potatoes. When we said we will wait the cook looked upset.

    Dirty tables everywhere.

    So awful. The person taking our order never even looked at us. She seemed annoyed that we wanted to order food. Every table in the place has dirty dishes on it. Hard to find a clean one. This place is terrible!!!!

    I ordered a cuban sandwich. It came on a regular sub bun, wasn't toasted, and had more mustard than meat.

    This is a hard review to have to write, due to my love of Baldino's subs. I haven't had a Baldino's…read moresub in over 10 years due to not having a location near enough to my house or my visits around the country, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a location in downtown Macon, which was not far off the highway, so I took my life and sanity into my hands by chancing a drive through the mess that is downtown Macon. While the location of the deli is in a good spot, be careful where you park. I got inside and ordered from the owner/manager, a friendly and pleasant woman, and proceeded to wait for my order. 2 simple sandwiches, no special ingredients, made the "Baldino's Way", and after waiting for considerable time for the employees to make the order (they were busy laughing and talking amongst themselves and getting orders wrong left and right, and literally laughing over the sandwiches, as in LEANING OVER and laughing) I got my order and left. We ate our sandwiches on the road since we had a long way to go. Worst sandwiches I have had. Absolutely LOADED with oregano (see pic of tomato doused in oregano) and zero oil and vinegar on either. Horrible taste with all the oregano and lack of oil and vinegar. I had to apologize to my brother for suggesting Baldino's, he probably won't take a chance in another location. Note to owner/manager: ask your employees to pay attention to what they are doing, don't talk and giggle with your face inches from a sandwich, and stop lollygagging when you have multiple customers waiting. This place won't survive long if they keep getting reviews like mine and others I've seen on here. What a shame.

Just half was very filling and I had them wrap the rest. The meat on this thing is over an inch thick. It is crazy. But tasty. If you are really hungry this thing will bring you back to life. In a world where are sandwich chains are cutting costs with less meat or lower quality these guys are still packing a wallop.

    I've been living in Middle Georgia for three years and somehow just discovered The Fresh Market. I…read morehave Yelp to thank for this life update, while in town casually strolling to see what grocery stores Macon had, it popped up in my search. When I lived in Atlanta, this was my go to grocery store, so imagine my excitement realizing there's one within a 35-mile radius of me now. Cue the happy dance in the parking lot. It's tucked into a large shopping center, so there's plenty of space to pull up, park, and prepare to spend more time (and money) than you originally planned. The moment I walked in, I was hit with the comforting aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, basically the grocery store version of a warm hug. On top of that, every employee I passed greeted me. Everyone was genuinely friendly and eager to help, which made the experience even better. I felt like a kid in a very upscale, health conscious candy store. If you're trying to eat better, this place makes it dangerously easy to stay on track. They have everything, fresh squeezed juices, exotic fruits and veggies, prepared meals, plus a quality meat and seafood department. Don't even get me started on the baked goods and yes they offer vegan and gluten-free pastries, self control was tested. I was especially impressed with their dairy free selection. There were plenty of yogurt and milk alternatives, which made this non-dairy girl feel seen and supported. One of my favorite parts was the snack displays. There were so many unique, better for you options that I hadn't seen anywhere else. I grabbed a bag of herb-seasoned popcorn on a whim and let me tell you, it did not disappoint 10 out of 10. The store itself is quaint, but don't let the size fool you I easily spent an hour exploring, especially the seasonal items. Between the fresh flowers, quality products, and overall inviting vibe, this place is officially back in my rotation. It may be "close ish," but it's absolutely worth the trip.
