    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.

    Let's start with the sweets because honestly, that's still this place's strong suit. I've grabbed…read morecookies and random goodies from the case before, and they've never missed. Today though, I walked in thinking this might be it... my hunt for the best fired pizza in South Bend might finally be over. I saw the giant pizza oven and thought, "yeah, this is about to be serious." So naturally... I stayed for lunch. It was busy, but the self-serve kiosk made ordering easy. I went all in Pepperoni Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Shrimp Diavolo. For a packed lunch rush, 15-20 minutes wasn't bad at all. Now... the pizza. I wanted to love it. I really did. But it just didn't show up. It was pretty bland overall, and most of the flavor came from the cupped pepperoni which tasted like something you'd grab off a store shelf. The sauce tried to make a comeback, but it got completely overshadowed. The rest of the food? Honestly solid. The Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot, and the Shrimp Diavolo was actually really good. So yeah the pizza hunt continues. The oven might look impressive, but it's not ending anyone's search just yet. But the sweets? Still a slam dunk. -The interior was clean and the seating area is large.
