    Turkey crunch and pecan salad
    Donna H.

    Outside the front door smells like gutter water. Inside is very clean and smells fine. Credit card machine was down, but they didn't tell me until we ordered. Sandwiches okay, salad too much candied taste and vinaigrette too sweet. Potato soup had too much sour taste like sour cream. Employees okay.

    My "half" a sandwich

    This was my "half" a sandwich when I did choose 2. It's more like 1/4 a sandwich. I asked for no lettuce or tomato and instead I got no bacon, no mayo, no ham, no honey mustard, and no tomato. There was still lettuce on there but it looks like instead of making me a fresh sandwich they just tried to take some lettuce off an old one and didn't even get all of it. It also had a hair on it. Plus the amount of meat was ridiculous. I tried to call and talk to a manager but no one would answer. I called at 7:30pm and they close at 9:00pm. This is unacceptable.

    No boxes for the sandwiches and sides. No pickles.

    Ordered pick-up. Parked in designated spot, hit the "I'm here" button and waited. and waited some more. My order was to be ready at 6:02 and at 6:15 I went in the store. A server said she didn't see my vehicle outside their very large window and I drive a Nissan Armada. The girl went outside and got my order out of another man's car. She came in and said the man didn't touch the bag, but I watched him get the bag from his backseat and hand it to her. She asked me if I still wanted the food. I should have said no but I took it. Got home and none of the sandwiches were boxed and no pickles. Sandwiches were wrapped in paper and smashed. My chicken on croissant had so much mustard it was all over the paper when I opened it. Broccoli soup tasted old. Not sure what has happened there but it gets worse each time we go. Money spent that feels like a complete waste!

    Southwest Chicken & Avocado Salad with MOLDY avocados
    Sara C.

    Ordered the Southwest Chicken and Avocado salad tonight. When I got home and got ready to eat, my AVOCADOS are black and moldy. This is totally unacceptable. Of course the restaurant is closed now. So I can't take it back right now. I will definitely think twice before eating here again. Updated: 8/28/2019 (from 1 star to 3 stars) I ended up taking the food back today with my receipt. The manager there was very apologetic and helpful. They redid my whole order and even gave me some extra FRESH avocados on the side.

    the "avocado" from my salad.

    McAlisters is headed downhill fast. Ordered a SW chicken salad. After a few bites, realized that there were ingredients missing (black bean salsa)..pointed this out and was told "Oh yeah, we ran out"...would have been nice to have been told that when ordering, as I would have ordered something else. But at that point I just carried on. Later I realized that there was also almost no avocado...there were about 4-5 incredibly thin slivers...one with a huge portion of brown pip shell, and all absolutely rock hard (will try to attach photo) Complained on FB and they got me to move to direct message...they told me someone would contact me but then they vanished. This was the Madison, MS location but clearly their corporate is setting the tone.

    Big nasty with gravy on the side  Yummy

    At dinner time we waited 50 minutes for our food and by an hour we asked for a refund and left. Just awful.

A lot of fun drink options; my MIL ordered their spin on aperol spritz which was great and refreshing. Our food came out super quick & service was great. The ambiance was fast-paced, different seating options, and huge bar area. Our waitress was very attentive to us. What we ordered: Appetizer: onion rings - delicious not too much breading and crispy. So so good. The backyard (basically double cheese burger on Texas toast). Father in law said it was fantastic! Caesar salad (large) + add chicken. This is what I ordered. I enjoyed the chicken - kind of a Cajun season - but I did wish I was grilled! Patty melt: some kind of Big Mac sauce, gooey cheese, 10/10 from my husband. Cod sandwich : my MIL ordered this on sourdough; she really enjoyed it. You can swap out the sandwich bread to whatever bread of your liking. My family ordered fries as a side, love the hand cut type but they all said they were over salted. Overall, fun spot for a delicious lunch.

Some odd reason, the place comes up on my swarm app as a food truck. It's not, but it's an actual sit down restaurant with outdoor and indoor seatings. They have a salad bar as well. I loved the tea area you had black current and sweet with real cane sugar. I did their mix n match. Which entails a half sandwich, fruit, soup, chips or salad. I chose the Carmella sandwich which was good. Very pack full with meat. I was shocked I didn't taste the Spicey picadillo sauce. I guess it was because it also had mayo. I paired this with half a tomato bisque soup, was good and a bowl of fruit. ( strawberry, pineapple, and grapes) with a dipping sauce. My husband had the full Sicilian sandwich with chips. He said it was good. Prices are a little steep but it beat having something we have back home. Staff was friendly and helpful. I am not sure what apps they use in the ladies room, but it smelled good. My only takeaway was their music that was playing. Not everyone has a knack for Christian music, but maybe if they played a soft rock alternative mix and not just the one station. It's nice to have a blend.

    Great food, excellent service. Enjoyed the experience. Good sandwiches and salads. Predictably good…read morefood and service.

My delicious cocktail. Their take on a whiskey sour is incredible. Definitely get a Township Sour! The crawfish fondue was a bit grainy. Not near as smooth as it has been in the past. The hand cut fries are always top tier though. I had the house salad with grilled shrimp. The grilled shrimp were smaller than I expected. Flavor was ok. They were cooked appropriately but small. I opted to sub the dressing for their ranch. It was a good house made dressing. Mike and the other guy with us got the ribeye, Pittsburg, medium rare. Mike forgot to ask for the sauce to be on the sauce rather than covering the steak and fries. It's not that the sauce is bad but a good steak doesn't need to be covered in sauce. The downside to this is that they put the steak on top of those incredible house cut fries and between that and the sauce you end up with a soggy bed of french fries. The steak was cooked perfectly. His wife got the filet with a house salad. She said it was cooked as ordered and tasted great. Let me take a moment to say that their floors have some weird waxy feel and it's like ice skating. Our friend fell and everyone at surrounding tables commented how they had been slip sliding around. Dessert at Lou's has never disappointing. Their pecan pie is one of the best ever. The blueberry cobbler is amazing. I have never eaten a dessert there that was not phenomenal. Hannah also made me a fresh cup of decaf and it was such a good cup of coffee. Hannah was an excellent server and the host was quite friendly. We aren't fans of the booth bench seating where you feel like you're eating with the people next to you. The tables on the wall benches seem closer in this location. We will go back and try it again but I will go with my usual redfish #1 and see if it is still as incredible as it has been before.
