    Roast beef and horseradish sandwich on ciabatta bread.  The other sandwich was the signature club sandwich.
    Kris L.

    It's super cold in the dining area, we had to sit outside or take our food to go. The dining room is very clean and the employees were professional. The food had good flavor and was very fresh which was good considering it took us 15 mins to get and we were the only people in line at the time. The price was way up the for a two person lunch at $32. I might would come back but I will not frequent this establishment based on price alone. We ordered the Roast beef and horseradish sandwich on ciabatta bread. The other sandwich was the signature club sandwich and we both tried the Mac and cheese for a side. I believe it was a smoked Gouda Mac and would have been better if it were hot. Overall it was a decent experience, nice place and good flavors.

    OMG!!. Trash in the counter area.

    Terrible idea to dine here today. Trash at the counter area, light out in the ladies restroom. We were told after we ordered that we could NOT dine inside. We were told we could sit outside! ??? Health Score =88/B. They were out of bacon, soup and mac n cheese. It is 7:21 pm on a Saturday. So disappointing. The young woman at the register was timid but friendly. It seems only 3 people were working. Then I was told the tea was low and it would take awhile to make more.

    Chicken tortilla soup  and half grilled chicken sandwich
    Kee K.

    I haven't had McAlister's Deli in quite some time. I quickly forgot how good the sandwiches and selection of soups and salads this deli had. I quickly looked over the menu and went with the grilled chicken sandwich on a croissant with a side of toriila soup. The croissant was so soft and buttery delicious I felt like slapping somebody..Lolol definitely wasn't going to slap myself. The tortilla soup was just ok. Nothing to brag about the broth was too thick for my liking, but I managed to finish it anyway. The soup came with a side of tortilla chips , which made it easier to consume. The service was quick and easy to place your order. The cashier was very patient and friendly. The ambiance was very quiet and chill, thank goodness. McAlister's was very clean and organized, which I like. I'm definitely returning whenever I'm in the area.

    Smokey chicken and chili
    Jama M.

    Upon entrance I noticed how clean it is. Spacious and everything is orderly and up to date an excellent atmosphere to enjoy a lunch . You order from the counter, everyone is super friendly and helpful as it was our first time here. The menu is huge and everything looks delicious. We ordered a sweet and smokey chicken sandwich,a chili,and small coke. Also a new Yorker sandwich, and a tea. Everything was delicious and came out in like 5 minutes. I highly recommend it!

    Nice patio area outside

    I used Cowboy Chicken for catering services on three very large orders, and it was AMAZING! Each…read moreorder was for roughly 200 people. They delivered on time and the food tasted great! The food was fresh and great quality. The service was exceptional and they really took care of us. I especially loved the follow up messages on how the food was, and the clear communication on my order being prepared and delivered. This is a great company to use for catering purposes. They have many different options to choose from and the boxed meals and super simple and easy to serve to large groups. I will for sure be using cowboy chicken again and recommend other companies looking to cater large groups to use them! This would be a great choice for Holiday parties for big corporations with a massive amount of associates.

    Welcome back to the table…read more I find that most people dismiss rotisserie chicken as "basic," but finding one that is actually seasoned through to the bone is harder than it should be. I stopped by the Cowboy Chicken in McDonough looking for something reliable, and it delivered that specific, wood-fired comfort that's hard to replicate at home. The vibe is laid-back and rustic exactly what you'd expect from a spot centered around an open flame. The Spread We didn't hold back on the order, covering everything from the signature rotisserie to the brisket and bowls. The Signature Chicken: They use a dry rub and slow-roast the meat over real wood. The result is a juicy, tender interior with skin that carries a slight, salty crispness. What stood out most was the flavor penetration; the seasoning wasn't just sitting on the surface. Unlike many rotisserie spots where the center feels neglected or underdone, this was consistent throughout. It holds its own without needing sauce. The Sides: The Spanish Rice surprised me. Fluffy, well-seasoned, shelly in texture, and the addition of corn gave it a nice sweetness. The Mac and Cheese was a bit of a curveball; it's more on the liquid, saucy side, but the flavor builds on you the more you eat. The fries were perfect and held a solid crisp even after sitting for a bit. We ended up getting a second basket of Fries because the crunch held up beautifully, even as they cooled down. The Coleslaw will be a hit or miss for some, we had mixed reviews. The shredded cabbage was thicker than normal but the other half of the table it was perfect. Tinga Bowl ($14.00): If you want something that feels a bit lighter but still packs a punch, this is it. The shredded chicken has a balanced kick, paired with corn relish, black beans, and a sprinkle of "Cowboy Dust" for heat. It's refreshing but filling. Layered with rice, beans, corn relish, avocado, crema it all balances out. Not heavy, but still satisfying. Brisket Sandwich (13.75: The bread was lightly toasted, cradling pulled brisket that was smoky and not juicy because we needed sauce for it but the flavor was there. Crispy Tenders ($13.25): These were a table favorite. They nailed the external crunch without sacrificing the moisture of the chicken inside.Crunch on the outside, seasoned all the way through, and still tender inside. The Sweet Finish I'm officially a fan of their Texas Peach Cobbler. It leans more cake-like than soupy, which I prefer. It tasted fresh, warm and held its structure, making it a solid closer for a heavy meal. Service & Value The moment we walked in, the staff offered a genuine verbal welcome. The service was efficient, and the restaurant maintained a clean, organized look despite the steady flow of customers. At roughly $14-$15 for a plate with two sides and a roll, the portion size makes the pricing very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Table Approved This is the spot for a high-quality, fuss-free family dinner or a solo lunch when you're craving real wood-fired flavor without the fast food aftertaste. It's dependable, flavorful, and worth a visit for the chicken alone. Follow along where food meets adventure - Shallonz Table.

The place has that clean, modern vibe with the smell of fresh bread drifting through the air -- the kind of spot that immediately feels like a good choice. I started with the Shrimp Spring Rolls, and they were a perfect warm-up: fresh, tightly wrapped, and loaded with crisp veggies and plump shrimp. The dipping sauce brought everything together with that sweet-savory balance that keeps you going back for another bite. For my main, I went with the B2. Grilled Pork Bánh Mì, and this sandwich was the star. The bread was perfectly toasted -- crunchy on the outside, soft inside -- and the grilled pork had that caramelized, smoky flavor that makes a bánh mì worth the trip. Paired with the pickled veggies and cilantro, every bite had that classic Vietnamese balance of sweet, salty, and tangy. To top it off, I ordered the Strawberry Milk Slush, and it was refreshing, creamy, and just sweet enough. Not heavy, just a smooth finish that hit the spot. Overall, PARIS BáNH Mì made my wait feel like a treat instead of a chore. Great food, quick service, and a menu that makes you want to come back and try more. If you're in the area -- car service or not -- it's definitely worth the stop.

    **This is for their second food truck located in the BP gas station parking lot off exit-201**…read more My notes on this place are on the picky side, on the boarder of personal tastes...because they are putting in the effort of kicking out some good food. Everything that came out was freshly fried and made with well maintained toppings/ingredients. So no complaints at all there. Burgers-My only note would be to season the meat with some burger seasoning once it's on the flat top. The bun is perfect, the veg is cold, the sauces are saucy and you take a bit of it all looking for the juicy flavorful combo but the meat just misses that mark. It doesn't need much...just a little shake of seasoning to round it all out. Mozza sticks and mac&cheese bits...have no notes, they were fried to order and came out screamin' hot...dipped in GGs sauce or the White Sauce was perfect. Sauces- GG sauce is a mayo, sriracha and sweet chili sauce mix...there may be other things in it too, but those are the top 3. White Sauce is their take on an Alabama white sauce...but this one is less vinegar and more creamy because of the mayo. Little bit of heat, but not what I would call spicy. I-75 Loaded fries...were loaded up! How the fries managed to stay crispy for as long as they did-with all the cheese and sauce defies logic. The jalapeños make this dish on the hotter side, so if you don't like heat...you should order it without them-because they don't skimp on them. Honestly this could have done without the hot Cheetos-they didn't really add to it other than color and they got mushy quick. We also got the beefy/steak rice bowl, but it was for my husband's meal prep the next day. It wouldn't be fair to review based on him eating it a day later...so I'm going to leave that review out. We did see several people ordering it while we waited...so I'm thinking it's a favorite. It's a food truck-not fast food so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our order. The crew working it were all nice and our food was well packaged so we suffered zero losses. We will be stopping by and trying all their chicken options for our next round!

    Hands down the best local burger I've had in McDonough! Golden Grill serves up that classic,…read moreno-fuss burger flavor that takes you straight back to an old-school diner but better. The burger was seasoned perfectly, juicy, and cooked just right. GG's sauce? A game changer. Tangy, savory, and just the right kick it ties the whole thing together. The fries were golden and crispy perfection, and the wings? Crunchy outside, flavorful inside, with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. It's clear they care about their food and their customers. If you see the Golden Grill truck, don't pass it up this is comfort food done right. Service was quick and efficient.
