Whenever my siblings visit we always search for a place to go and somehow always end up right back at McAlister's. They have amazing prices, and you'd be surprised at how good they are at making a sandwich! I always receive excellent service from the staff, they are patient and attentive to your specific needs and the diner is always clean and organized. I've never had a bad experience here both ordering out and dining in. I hope this place remains successful for many more years! read more

I was really disappointed in McAlisters last night! I've always loved their awesome spuds topped with meats and cheese and sauces!!! But last night, I went expecting to see that awesome Angus Spud and it wasn't on the menu anymore!!! I was reduced to the Pulled pork & Mac n Cheese spud but my disappointment was only beginning! When I got it home, the first bite told me this potato was baked much earlier in the day and held in a warmer way, way, way too long. It was no longer tender soft potato! It was hard and dried out even black on the bottom! I'm one of those people who enjoys eating a crispy potato skin, too! So this was especially disheartening! Then the generous helping of Mac n cheese covered up the fact that they were so chintzy with the Pulled Pork! Barely 3 small bites!!! And the Mac n cheese had probably been held as long as the potato, not good!!!Disappointment on top of disappointment!!! Your Iced Tea may be great but your Spud was a Dud last night! read more

$2 off with App. Previously told others how good their potatoe soup was, but today it was both very, very watery & bland. Cuban sandwich was very good. I would not recommend ordering drinks as they are almost as much as some value meals at other places - $3.69 for Root Beer & $3.19 for Sweet Tea. Their cost was probably about 27 cents. BLT was good & Baked Potatoe was good & good portion. read more

Had lunch there today, soooo good! I had the Reuben sandwich with a side of potato salad! Always comes with a pickle and that's a nice touch. They have amazing raspberry lemonade as well. Plenty of seating and there's even a place to sit outside if one desires. Staff is very helpful and friendly. All around a great atmosphere. Keep up the great work! read more

McAlister's Deli - Rueben with potato salad and pickle!! - Delis Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Walking in, the restaurant has a very open atmosphere. Upon entrance, we were greeted quickly. It was our first time so we asked about the menu and received some recommendations. Using the "pick 2", I got a half sandwich and spud. The Southwest Chicken was perfectly filling - it tasted a little bland at first, but then as you chew, the spices really creep up on you! The Chipotle Spud was really carried by the chipotle sauce, but the chicken and cheese balanced out well. I genuinely got full before I finished, but it's a great place and seems very family-friendly with tons of various options! read more

McAlister's Deli - Southwest Chicken Sandwich Chipotle Chicken Spud Strawberry Lemonade - Delis Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

I like that even though it is a deli I have choices of sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, potatoes, Mac and Cheese, sweets, and I wouldn't want to leave out the tea. -I'm the unsweetened tea type of girl though. I feel the meats and vegetables are always fresh, the potatoes and salads are huge, definitely could share or keep for another meal. I like that it is a place that people of all ages can find something they would enjoy. read more

Everything was fine with my order until I opened the bag and it was really soggy. In addition, whoever packed my sandwich used it as a punching bag because it was as flat as a pancake when I opened the wrap! read more

do not go here. worst service in the world. the guy with long hair and lady bringing out the food will mess up your order, shake their head at you, refuse to fix it, and tell you its an extra $12 to get the other 6 inches of the sandwich you ordered. The guy employees are so rude read more

As a professional sandwich connoisseur, I feel that this review score is very fair. I enjoyed this delicious French Dip Sandwich with a well rounded bowl of chimken dumpling soup. The flavors ignited the deep want in my soul for a more than excellent sammich. Great service, better food, incredible ambience that really peaked and thrilled all of your senses. read more

I was skeptical about going here since I've always been a Panera fan but this place didn't disappoint!! The ingredients were fresh and it was very yummy. The staff was extremely friendly even though it was crazy busy due to the football game just getting over. The food was brought out pretty quick and it was delicious! The prices were so reasonable as well!! I'll definitely be coming back I loved it! read more

McAlister's Deli - Veggie sandwich - Delis Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Food and service are consistently good, the tea is the best! They always make me feel welcome.

It's a 1hr round trip from Fort Riley to this location. Picked up lunch for myself and my wife. Guess it's my fault for not opening the wrapper and verifying that the labeled sandwich was actually inside. Thanks for the free meal (plus desert!) next time I come in, I guess. Next time I feel like being in a car for an hour to pick up some very mid food I guess I'll take you up on that since I just wasted my money and they didn't offer a refund. Should have listened to my friend and just gotten Chipotle if I'm making the trip into Manhattan. read more

One of my favorite sandwich places to eat. The food is fresh and the place is clean. Cookies they make fresh are the best! Prices are decent check them out I promise you won't regret it! Also the employees are so friendly and you can tell they're happy because they love the environment that they work at. I highly recommend it. read more

I am visiting from California and my son in law recommended this place and they didn't not disappoint. The French dip was delicious.

Never been to a McAlister's before and I'm so glad I finally did. A fair selection of sandwiches and the half sandwich half soup is an excellent idea. Friendly staff and delicious food! read more

First time ordering from this establishment on Tuttle Creek, Manhattan, Kansas. Curbside pick up was prompt. Everything was packaged well so I got it home without anything spilling (soup). Family enjoyed the reuben, chicken salad, club and ham sandwiches. Soups were good. Would recommend this establishment. read more

i am very impressed with my entire experience in this establishment. the service was phenomenal. the staff were super helpful and friendly. my order was extremely complicated due to food allergies and taste preferences and they were so helpful. the food came out super fast and was delicious. highly recommend!! read more

Literally delivered me a sandwich with a green plastic bag inside of it and they refused to make me a new one. Told me to contact grub hub! Grub hub did not make my sandwhich, McAlisters did. They only offered a refund and not even a gift card of sorts to compensate. Can never eat here again! read more

Didn't eat there much before COVID, but discovered McAlisters Deli in 2021. Delicious sandwiches, soups. I mean delicious. When I want to treat myself to fast food, this is my choice. A step above burger joints but the same price. Fast and friendly too. I highly recommend. read more

This is a great McAlister's. When I first moved to Manhattan I went there for lunch. They were really crowded and it took forever to get my food. It was very frustrating. The manager came by and apologized and gave me a coupon for a free meal. Over all I love the atmosphere and menu. This is the best place I have found to get a baked potato in Manhattan. Now I go regularly and look forward to it. read more

Great sandwiches and salads. I like to eat clean which isn't easy in Kansas. Very impressed. Excellent service. Highly recommend.

I decided to eat here after my husband voiced over and over again that this place is better than Panera. I am a Panera patriot and I figured it must be really good if he made such big claims. I ordered a chipotle something or other and mashed potatoes with gravy. To drink I got the wild berry sweet tea. The sauce in the chipotle ciabatta sandwich did not taste like chipotle at all. It was a really good sandwich, but it didn't even have a hint of chipotle. The sauce was more sweet and tangy than it was spicy. The mashed potatoes arrived cold and with a ridiculous amount of salty gravy. Had I known I would've skipped the gravy. To top it all off, the sweet tea was way too sweet. I don't know what kind of syrup they use for the wild berry. I could only take three sips before I gave up on the drink. I have to note that the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very casual and calm. Was it better than Panera? Not even close. The prices were better, but the taste and quality of the food was not. In all honesty, it reminded me of school cafeteria food. read more

I've always loved this place. They have the biggest and best taters on the planet, plus a French Dip sandwich to die for! read more

I am a huge McAlister's Deli fan! It may be a chain but the food is always consistent and the staff is always friendly! Everything I've tried here is great but my go to is the club and a side of broccoli cheddar soup, life changing! If you are a sweet tea fan, there's is a must. It is so good and it comes in a huge cup, plus they offer refills so you will definitely get your fix! They just recently re modeled and it looks fantastic! They also have togo and you can order from their app, it makes things so much easier! They are frequent to long lines around lunch times or busy days at KState but the lines usually go quick and the food is worth it! read more

This is a great place for lunch. A lot of variety on the menu from sandwiches, salads, spuds. As well as a variety of sides. Food comes out pretty quick even when they are busy. If your really in a rid you can order online and have it ready for carry out. Cheese cake is freaking awesome. read more

If you like bland food then you may enjoy this place but we weren't impressed at all! The nachos have an awful meat sauce that's probably canned crap, the only good part of the nachos was the chips...that's sad!!!! We also had the roast beef spud and it was dry and had some deli type roast beef thrown on top, no flavor again. $22 wasted! We won't be back. read more

McAlister's Deli is a great chain sandwich restaurant! I've tried a few different sandwiches and salads, all of which have been very good. I'm not a big sweet tea drinker, but my girlfriend raves about the sweet tea here so I recommend trying that if you have the chance. This location can get pretty busy, especially around K-State football games. That said, McAlister's Deli also offers a convenient online ordering system so your food will be ready for pickup when you arrive if you don't feel like waiting for a table. McAlister's is a chain restaurant, but they serve up pretty good sandwiches and salads at a reasonable price, so check it out if you're looking for good deli food! read more

First time at a McAlister's Deli - saw a crowd so thought that was a good sign. Menu choices are very good with variety to choose from. Staff working hard and very professional. Unfortunately they were so busy that there were no clean tables - went to outside seating but the odor and flies chased us back inside. Asked for a table to be cleaned, but I guess because the table was close to the patio door, flies were again bothersome. Manager needs to step up quality of environment-especially patio seating! read more

We have been going there for years and they have an awesome selection of deli food for a good price. Their kids meal prices can't be beat either. Not only is the food always good but the service rocks. The other week I took my 2 year old because she loves their Mac n cheese. Somehow she managed to take a bite out of the plastic spoon and swallowed it. The staff went above and beyond and even checked in later to make sure she didn't end up needing medical attention. Laura was the manager and she went so far as to help find the spoon that I had thrown away in case the doctor needed to see how large the piece was. I was so impressed with her professionalism and her caring personality. Thanks Laura and staff! read more

i went to lunch with my friend and decided to get mcalisters! it was my first time going to this location and i have barely ever been before. the lady behind the counter was so behind rude to me for no reason. she really seemed like she did not want to do her job, which is understandable but if she could at least have had so decency and be kind to others while behind the counter? the sandwiches hood but the salad wasn't that great. i don't think we will go back, not the best experience! read more

I jumped in here at about 10:50. Not the fastest bit of service, but the lady working the front was courteous enough to me. I've never eaten here before and it seemed interesting. I ordered their mcallaster's club with tea and cole slaw. The "famous" tea was so-so at best, even a lemon wedge only helped "ish". The sandwich was fine, but the slaw was room temp and bland. All in all, decent in speed and service, maybe just have to try at a later time. read more

We chose McAlister's for our 23rd anniversary dinner!! A young lady with the most beautiful light blue eyes took our order, and a young sandwich genius named Israel prepared our deli-ectable meal. I got the original club and it's loaded with meat. My wife got the grilled cheese which looked great - 4 cheeses I think!! (And thankfully my wife doesn't care for dill pickles so I got hers!!! ) We got it all to go in just a few minutes, drove to a nearby lake and had a great sunset meal! Just sad our son wasn't there to enjoy it with us! :-(( read more

The tea is great but that's about where it ends. The food is salty yet lacking in other seasonings, and even after trying several dishes, I can't say that I have found one that I really enjoy. read more

Normally I love McAlister's and experience nothing short of amazing service. Tonight I ordered through DoorDash and my sandwich was incorrect. The gentleman on the phone told me it was probably a box mix up. He said he would write my name in a book for a free sandwich on my next visit and that if I wanted I could come in right now. If I could come in I wouldn't have ordered from DoorDash so that doesn't really help me. Plus I already paid for this sandwich that I can't eat so that doesn't help me either. He seemed to not care that much about my situation which surprised me because normally McAlister's staff go above and beyond. Very hungry and disappointed. read more

Absolute favorite place for the kiddos! The staff is always friendly and attentive when we bring in the group for a meal. We have food allergies too and they readily accommodate last minute changes or substitutions. We'll definitely go back again and again!!! read more

Awesome Ruben sandwich. Atmosphere was very nice and mellow. They have a wide selection of mouth watering sandwiches. Will definitely come back and try their club sandwich. Cole slaw was disappointing, unless you like the vinegar type. read more

I'd actually give this 3.5 stars if I could. In short, when it is good it is very good. Alternatively, when it's not a good day for them it can be a bad experience. It is though the best place for iced tea and the sandwiches are generally freshly made. It is hands down better than subway, Mr Goodcents, and the closest thing to a true deli in this area. read more

The food is good! Quite the variety! Love the chicken salad and the veggie spud. This restaurant is getting pretty run down and you can tell needs a good cleaning. Seats are ripped up and the wall and pictures on the walls are so sticky and seem to never be attended to. read more

I'm from the South, so sweet tea is a way of life for me. I've ordered online from here for lunch during work a few times so I could get my sweet tea fix. The sweet tea has been great! The food, not so much. Both times I've ordered a sandwich, and the bottom bread has been soggy, like it's been sitting and waiting for a while. I usually order my lunch about 60-90 mins before pick up, so I'm assuming my sandwiches were made too early and left to sit out for too long. The food was okay, other than that. I probably won't order online for work day lunch again, but I may come in for lunch on the weekend if the mood struck me. read more
