Whenever I'm in the mood for a tasty sandwich, McAlister's Deli is my preference and this location has quickly become my go-to location. I was in the area, saw this location and decided to stop in. For openers, this has to be the largest location I've ever been too. Outside, there is plenty of parking to be had in the shared parking lot. Once inside, there is an abundance of seating space which includes, table/chair combos along with some booths. Based on what I could see, excluding the spots that had people dining at them, the place was very clean. I stepped up to the counter to place my order and was greeted immediately. I placed my order and it was repeated back to me to ensure correctness. Overall, ever staff member I encountered was friendly and talkative. My order was ready in no time and everything was fresh and tasty which is always my experience when it comes to McAlister's Deli. My go to sandwiches continue to be the Jalapeño Turkey Crisp, the McAlister's Club and the BLT+Avocado. A recent discovery for me is their potato salad which always hits the spot. It's become one of my go to sides with my sandwich. Overall, I'm shocked that this location has 3 star rating...based on my experience it is 5 stars and I will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Ordered a French dip. It looks like they fried the beef. Edges were burnt and you could not even bite into it. I took a pice of beef you couldn't chew it. Worst sandwich went right in the trash! Will not be returning to this restaurant read more

Came for a quick dinner and it did the trick. Got the half sandwich and half spud. Sandwich was good but the potato was for sure overdone and seemed as if it's been sitting around for a little bit prior to being served. Nonetheless did the trick. Will continue to come back but will probably stay away from the spuds! read more

I've been here more than a dozen times and I'd say at least 40% of the time I NEVER get my pickle included with my order. Well this last time drove me over the edge to write this. Of course I didn't get my pickle and I did not get my cookie. Lucky I was able to check and see my cookie wasn't there but didn't realize no pickle bc they wrap it with the sandwich....i did the typical "how did we do" email and explained it and what I got back from the "assistant manager" Kevin Assistant Manager McAlister's Deli (972) 547-3800 Was... so sorry I'll address it. So... I didn't get what I paid for and ordered and you are sorry and will address it? Where the customer service? The ok let me get you your pickle and order correct? Nope nothing of that.... Just we are sorry we will try better. So disappointing. Original email reply I got back from my complaint: Dear Geoff, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns with us. We sincerely apologize that your recent experience with McAlister's Deli did not meet your or our expectations and that you did not receive your pickle that is now part of our complimentary section of the menu. We are supposed to give a pickle with each sandwich when ordered unless otherwise requested. We will further look into how to not miss this item. I have addressed your feedback with our team and hope you'll come back and see us again. We value your business and would love the chance to make your next visit a great one! Sincerely, Kevin Assistant Manager McAlister's Deli (972) 547-3800 read more

I ordered a half chicken salad sandwich and cup of veggie soup to-go. I received maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken salad in my half croissant. It's pitiful and mediocre at best in flavor. The veggie soup was good but the chicken salad sandwich was a joke. Very disappointed how little actual chicken salad I received for the price. read more

Reuben only - it was ok, nothing like true Italian Reuben but price is definitely good

Had a wonderful lunch today. Charles was so professional and made sure we were satisfied. He made our visit memorable and will definitely return soon. The Turkey sandwich's were delicious and the broccoli cheddar soup was the best . The dining room is huge with high ceiling and windows that let light shine. Seating is comfortable and the short partition between booths added to privacy. Menu options can satisfy most appetites. If you need a fresh sandwich look no further than McAlister's read more

Update: I'm adding a star because of the quick and courteous response I received from McAliaster's. I appreciate when businesses take interest in their customers, I thank you for reaching out! Not happy with my last visit with McAlister's. I distinctly remember this French dip being larger than it is, and it's exponentially more expensive than it was, I realize many things are, but $16 for a 6 inch French dip with extra meat (not double, just extra) is ridiculous. read more

McAlister's Deli - This is the size of the 6-in, yes it is literally 6 in but it's also $16 with extra meat which is ridiculous. - Delis Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

First, the ice tea is always fresh and clear. It tastes the way ice tea is supposed to taste. The staff has always been courteous and patient while we place our order. They will also graciously switch dressings or type of lettuce upon request. They have a great Reuben, with a generous amount of meat, but could use more kraut! The bacon, lettuce, avocado sandwich is really delicious! Their salads are fresh with crisp lettuce. Their potato salad and fruit cups are always fresh. Their soups are good. On the other hand, I feel like the Beef/ horseradish on ciabotta is quite thin on the meat. I do not care for their chili, but I love Wendy's chili, so I may not be the best judge on that. You can eat there often, with many choices. read more

This place is always consistant, good quality food, service and fast...we recently went for lunch and ordered unsweet tea with lemonaid, they were made with sweet tea. We stopped your manager Jake and he jumped to fix the issue...this guy was so incredibly helpful and sweet. He has been swirling all around the dining room, delivering food, correcting orders and setting a wonderful example for his employees. Thank you Jake @ Mcalister's in Mckinney @ 75 and Eldorado read more

I've been coming here to this location for about four years. It's amazing. Kim, Kelsey, Tony, Madison. That's the fantastic four. Those are the managers here at this location. And if they can put up with me, they can put up with anybody, I love this place and I will continue coming to get sandwiches and soups and salads and of course sweet tea for many years to come. read more

Wonderful experience at McAlister's! We stopped in for lunch and the service was quick & friendly. I enjoyed the Savannah Chopped Salad which was delicious and appreciated the dressing came on the side. Great variety of menu options and will be back again soon. read more

Great fresh healthy sandwiches. Great last second dinner or lunch option. Reliable. You don't feel crappy when eating

We eat here at least once a week! The sweet tea is a favorite and the staff is always friendly! The ambiance is the older style but it's classic and familiar. Pricing is great with the kids meals at $3. Shout out to Kim and her team! read more

It was unfortunate that I was overcharged for my salad yesterday, being that I used to love the McKinney McAlister's. I will still give them another try in the future, and support McAlister's, being that the staff is cordial. On my visit last night, I didn't feel like my order was accurately made in terms of payment, though. read more

Good food selection and service is also great. Always a pleasant experience and the tea is great! read more

I came up to McAlister's to pick up some food for my grandmother and Jackie helped us out and was absolutely rude. My order did not come out as it usually does so I asked to clarify with jackie if this was correct. She took the food and continued to talk about me and laugh at me in my face with her co workers. The order was indeed wrong. read more

My wife wanted Deli, so we came here since it was close and had good ratings. After drooling over the menu, we enjoyed delicious Deli sandwiches, spuds and sides. Had to take home the Oreo Cheesecake too. Recommended read more

Just so you know they do not have curbside pick up. Even though their website claims they have it and they have signs out front they tell you where to park for curbside pick up. I placed an Internet order at 4:45 to be picked up at 6:15. I got there at 6:11. I placed a phone call to tell them I was there for my curbside order. She said it wasn't ready and it would come out when it was. I waited for 20 minutes, then went inside and it was sitting there ready to go. They were never going to bring it out to me. If they didn't have curbside they should have let me know when I called in to let them know I was there. I did not get an apology or any kind of explanation. read more

I got the southwest chicken sandwich on jalapeño bread ($8). This sandwich exceeded my expectations!! The chicken was not dry and it was flavorful. I really liked the corn and bean salsa they added. That is a unique part of this sandwich that you can't add on/customize on others! It had a nice, refreshing taste (especially because of the cucumbers). McAlister's sandwiches are better than subway!! read more

Every single time I have ordered from the store there have been issues. I don't think I've ever picked up an order where they didn't forget at least something whether that be a salad dressing or an entire side. This is maybe the 5th time I have ordered in the past year and it has NEVER once been correct. I love McAllister's but this location needs some serious help!! read more

I know they can't control the price but they can control the quality. $30 for my meal is insane to get nothing. I could go sit down and eat for these prices read more

McAlister's Deli - The fact that this is $10 is insane - Delis Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Quality of food has gone way down. The gluten free selection is less than it used to be. The beef potato didn't have a lot of meet and no grilled onions. Overall a very disappointing experience. The Cesar salad was okay and I'm glad I got it, but I went for the potato. read more

McAlister's Deli - My lunch - Delis Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

I have never had issues before but this time I am really really disappointed. I ordered lunch delivery for my team. It is for about 15 people or so. Half of the team ordered salads. We didn't get any dressing for salad order. I called in and ask for the dressing. I understood that you used 3rd party for delivery service but it is not acceptable to left us hanging waiting for the dressing. Very disappointed read more

whoever is working as the manager at this location, needs to be fired. the fact they let food leave their kitchen in the condition it does. I will never order from here again. sloppy, the least amount of filling a wrap can possibly have, and just gross. take more pride in your job and your business. read more

Really great service and my food has always been perfect! Very nice on the inside and kept very clean. And can sometimes be really busy but it has very nice seating and as I said before some amazing service! read more

Great customer service and affordable for families. Love the Angus Spud. Kids meals are great

The food here is always great and the staff has great customer service. We really appreciate that the manager does table touches to check on her guests. read more

The workers here are all very kind. I stopped in for an early lunch because I saw the new cuban sandwich advertised on social media and also tried the mac and cheese as a side. The cuban was great and I will order it again. The mac was a little underwhelming and bland, far too much cheese sauce to noodle ratio. That being said, I will be back. Everything else I've tried on the menu has been great. read more

I walked in and came up to the counter to order my food. Food tasted fine. The server was attentive. One of the things that I could not ignore was the cleanliness of the floors. They were so filthy that I noticed in my peripheral vision. This was a cause of deeper concern. If the floors were that unsanitary what was the condition of the area from where the food is coming? read more

Not happy with my most recent visit to this location. Firstly, my wrap was not sealed and was completely falling apart. We also ordered a bag of cookies which were left gaping open, upside down, will all the cookies falling out into the to go bag. There was also a pickle wrapped tightly with a sandwich. I'm not sure who would find a pickle juice marinated sandwich tasty - certainly not someone who doesn't like pickles. Just felt like very careless preparation. read more

I'm giving two stars because I've been coming to this location for years without issue, but my last two visits have been mediocre at best. The first of my last two visits, I waited for my food past the expected time and was asked my name. The gentleman told me he saw that order so someone else must have taken it. They started working on the order again only to find it behind the register counter in "an unusual spot." The sandwich was missing the honey mustard completely and the food was cold. The second and sure to be my final visit was on a Sunday evening. I placed the order at 6:11pm with a 6:21pm pick up time. It is 7:17pm and I have yet to receive my food. Around 6:40pm I was told they were backed up in passing. At 7:05pm after refusing to leave the counter until the order was checked (because of my previous experience of "missing" food and numerous Uber eats/DoorDash orders with later pickup times being made) I was given my tea and told they were still working on it. Most of the people waiting are delivery drivers so I get the extended wait times, however I do think something should be done with the website/app to make sure wait times are more accurate. It has now been an hour since my promised pick up time. Update. I received my food at 7:25pm with a "sorry about the wait"...I'm sorry but a sorry doesn't cut it. Taking a star back. Update to my update. A pickle spear with each sandwich was ordered...we received one HALF pickle spear. read more

I had no idea that not all McAlister's had a salad bar! That's really the only reason we came... well and free ice cream, neither of which this location had. Super bummer. I feel like it should be called some different... like 1/2 McAlister's or Order Only... idk. Also, it wasn't clean. The floors looked YUCK. The food took a long time (though it was busy). read more

Was hungry and decided to buy a salad so I stopped and was greeted by a member named Alexis which she was super nice and very attentive to my order placing. Ordered paid and got my salad and decided to come back again next day just because the service I received by Alexis and the wonderful salad I ordered. Please recognize this member and do something nice for her as nowadays awesome service is very hard to find. Thank you Alexis for the AMAZING service you offered me. read more

Got the club, nothing that I couldn't have made at home. Plain old wheat, regular sandwich meat, etc. it was supposed to have cheddar, but did not get it. The cucumber tomato salad was meh. The restaurant had a lot of dirty and unbussed tables, but maybe I just missed the rush. Overall probably won't be back, overpriced for the quality. read more

I've been coming to this location for 6+ years. I'm not sure what's happened, but it's sad & pathetic. Y'all can blame COVID, short staff, etc. - but yet other businesses are still maintaining cleanliness & quality & more, customer service. This is a joke and needless to say, we won't be back. The floors are disgusting, 60-70% of the tables are covered in crap and are filthy. The food quality is subpar. No service at the counter and they act like they don't care. How is that COVID related? Saying "thanks" or "how can I help" or doing anything normal is not out of the question. This is sad & disturbing for this brand, worse because this location has clearly gone downhill. read more

Pretty darn good! YUMMY Mac-n-cheese today! *I have to update my review as everyone is allowed a bad day once in a while and I've been informed that the other, not so pleasant, manager is no longer employed with this company.* The food was really really good today...on point! My family and I dined in, not during rush time, and had a very pleasant experience. I was informed that the Reuben sandwich does tend to get a bit soggy and they are aware of this...BUT they are willing to go above and beyond to make it ANY way I would like, or even remake it according to my preference! Wow! The staff is extremely sweet and went above and beyond for us, bringing a highchair right to our table with a smile....and extra pickles too! I am HAPPY to say we would LOVE to dine here again! ....and did I mention the mac-n-cheese....nom nom nom....Keep it up Alison! read more

Crappy review because of service, not really because of food. It was fine. Ordered table side with the app. Have had previous good luck with that. Today was a hot mess. Ordered 4 drinks - lemonade, bottle water, and two sweet teas ... mind you, their most popular drink. Brought out food, they had forgotten our drinks. They brought out the bottle water and the lemonade and said would right out with teas. Watched over the next 10 minutes as they made counter order teas, still no teas. Asked both the counter person and the manager - who essentially ignored me. After 20 minutes I finally called out "EXCUSE ME CANNI GET MY TEAS". Honestly HATE to be that kind of customer, but clearly the squeaky wheel gets the service with this manager. read more
