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.

The food here is pretty good. They have a variety of sandwiches with soup and other sides. They even have loaded baked potatos. It has a feeling of a less pretentious Panera Bread. It can be a bit pricey as it cost around 30 dollars for my wife and I. The place was very clean. The service was really good. I really reccomend coming here for lunch.

Food was very good. Completed online order, showed up when it was supposed to be ready and still had to wait more than 5minutes.

Love the ambiance, you feel like you're in a big city, definitely not South Bend. I came with my…read moreboyfriend and we were seated right away despite there being many people standing by the hostess stand, apparently a large party waiting to be seated. Unfortunately we were completely ignored at our table. Several other two-tops got seated and the large party and they were all attended and even got their drinks before anyone greeted us or got our drink order. Eventually we moved tables to something more in the center of the dining room and still no one came to us. It wasn't until I flagged down a group of servers and food runners chit chatting by the corridor to the bathroom that someone finally came to our table. It's a shame the service sucked because the food was delicious. I loved my plum wine and spicy creamy V ramen. I added some extra veggie toppings which I think gets ridiculously pricey considering the ramen is already priced kind of high. My boyfriend had the chicken wings and white rice. He seemed to have enjoyed it. The following time I ordered delivery to avoid the spotty service we received last time. The packaging was great and it arrived early and was nice and hot. The V red fire opal ramen was DELICIOUS. And I'm absolutely obsessed with the matcha tiramisu. Delectable. I still want to try the Flying V harvest ramen. I appreciate they have several vegetarian options, considering the majority of the menu contains pork. Perhaps the next time I dine in and the service is improved they'll get that 5th star.

Service was fair. The server almost hit my girlfriend while taking food to another table…read more Food was terrible. The broth tasted entirely of raw onions, we couldn't taste anything but onions. The pork was beyond tough and chewy, while having any actual flavor.
