This is how it wax served. 14 dollars for a sandwich and you can't even get a full cup of soup.

I'd give McAlister's 5 stars except when you order like soup or a side of potato salad, they fill the cup up halfway and the cups are already small. The food is not cheap, so you'd think they'd at least give you a full cup. I know food prices are soaring, but 14 dollars for a sandwich should warrant a full cup of a side! And I don't want to be labeled as a "Karen" so we don't even say anything in the restaurant. We don't want free food. We just want full cups. ‍

Sandwiches! Sandwiches! Sandwiches! We all have that type of food we like, and even with many diverse dining options for me nothing beats a great sandwich. Especially a restarant that specializes in diverse sandwich offerings with great side pairings. I usually go to Martins for paninis, in addition to being a fan of Subway and Jimmy Johns too. Yet though I've checked out different sandwich shops in and outside the area and many of them have great offerings, many of them have no diversification to their sandwich themes. For instance, Subway and Jimmy Johns specializes in subs, but do not offer paninis and other types of sandwiches. Then the opposite issue exists for other restaurants that may offer paninis but no subs, in addition to being too oily and heavily toasted. Though those are good places to grab a sandwich and eat a no fuss kind of meal, the breadth of their sandwich options can be narrow, only possessing a nice depth of options per sandwich. Then there are other establishments that serve a range of sandwiches but are too pricey for the offering and/or aren't as convenient for a quicker grab and go meal. Well McAlister's has solved this dilemma, making this one of my go-to's. Its location is great for shoppers that want to take a break and sit and dine, as well as those who are on the go and want to carry on with their day. When I first started coming here, with many restaurants I noticed the seating arrangements, which are maintained at a socially comfortable distance (even before Covid), with booth options with a nice casual feel. Now I like sandwiches of all sorts but a nice grilled panini with crispy toasted bread always does it for me. When I looked at their menu options, they definitely satisfied that want. Offering different types of clubs (made panini style), as well and sub sandwiches. Yet there's one thing that is a bummer for me, and that is when you go to sandwich shops with limited side options offering "just" fries/chips (especially if they're basic). Luckily McAlister's has a great selection of sides serving mac n' cheese, potato salad, steamed vegetables, and their vegetable salad etc, etc. Nice!! So, I ordered their black angus club with soup and mac cheese, being delicious as always. I usually order carryout when I visit, or Door Dash. But I was pleasantly surprised when I dinned in for the first time, when I received table service. Then when my meal arrived even more so with the presentation, in addition to already knowing I would be getting a good meal. As always, I enjoyed my club, because I like the texture and ratio of meat to toppings. I like that their clubs are toasted similar to a panini however are a bit lighter and healthier because of the lack of oil or butter. My club was just that having light crispy bread, while being flavorful and meaty. I always enjoy their rich soups and mac n' cheese, and McAlister's is very generous on the soup amount per price. I can always count on a good meal here. This is my definite go-to for sandwiches when I'm out and about on this side of town. I always enjoy everything that I ordered here, and I am glad the area has McAlister's.

This place is amazing. Seriously I could hang out here all day. When you walk in it feels like an…read moreItalian place on the east coast (but with much nicer ppl). I'm very impressed at the selection of fresh pasta, sauces and desserts. I had a chicken pesto panini which was huge and delicious. I could only eat half of it. But that's ok because I saved room for cannoli which was amazing. There's a lovely spot for outdoor dining as well. I've been on the hunt for a good pesto sandwich and this place lives up to the hype! I placed a to go order online and it was ready in 15 mins. My only suggestion is wrap the Togo sandwiches in foil so they stay warm.

Macri's Italian Bakery and Trattoria is near downtown South Bend, Indiana and has been a staple in…read morethe city since 1978. The baked goods are especially very popular and I see their baked goods brought to parties my boyfriend and I go to all the time. I have had some of their Italian cookies before and thought they were quite delectable! But my visit here for lunch in October 2026 was the first time I tried their non-baked goods. The deli/bakery/trattoria is very large inside and was bustling on a Saturday afternoon when we arrived. We put our orders in on one of the 3 kiosks (we didn't know that we could have put in our order with an actual person at the counter - we would have much preferred that, actually) and then we waited about 8 minutes for our names to be called to pick up our meals. I ordered the chef salad with feta cheese ($16), the Macri's Club wrap for my boyfriend ($13), chips for him ($2), and two soft drinks ($2.50 each). I noticed that some of the information in the food description is wrong/missing ingredients when ordering at the kiosks. For instance, I didn't see cheese of any kind listed in the chef salad description so we paid $1.50 extra to add feta. Turns out, it did come with mozarella cheese so we paid $1.50 extra for no reason. Also, I wish they had more than one diet soda option in the fountain drink options. Anyway, the total cost for lunch, after tax, tip, and a weird "service fee" for two people was a whopping $44!!!! Absolutely wild! So the actual food was tasty, I gotta give them that. I really enjoyed my accidentally cheese-heavy salad. I love good 'ol carcinagen-heavy deli meat on my salads so I had a great experience with this chef salad. I personally thought my boyfriend's wrap was a little small but he liked it. The meat inside was very fresh and tender. And of course, the Michigan cherry potato chips are the bomb.com. We finished our food in about 20 minutes and still had a little room left for dessert so we got up and shared a cup of coffee chocolate chip gelato. We tried a few of the flavors before making our choice and this was the flavor we could both agree on to share. However, PLEASE offer gelato in more than one size. It is wild that the only portion size available for gelato costs $8! I know it is good quality gelato, but spending $8 on one size of it is ridiculous. So I'll give Macri's 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. The food was tasty but not $50-total-tasty. And some of the information on the kiosk is incorrect/missing some stuff. I'd definitely come back here, as I'd love to try some of their homemade pastas or pizzas, but would avoid getting any extras or additional products that run up the price. And what in earth was the 1.5% service fee for? Oy vey!
