    Cockroach

    Cockroach's, always dirty floors and tables and dirty bathrooms. Service is either on the rude side or getting the order wrong side. It seems like they are overworked and maybe understaffed , Im not sure. We are disappointed, we won't be back.

    That curbside pickup though
    Natalie R.

    We placed an online order for pickup through the McAlister's actual site and found it to be a seamless process. Food looked great and was tasty however condiments, salad dressing, and pickles were all left out. The place is a decent chain however we will not be thinking of this as an option.

    Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap This is what I got.
    Sarah C.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I would just like to start this by saying I have never ever given a review before, and created a yelp account JUST for this. I was very excited to go in and get my chicken Caesar wrap that I use to always get until I was greeted with a boy who was obviously stoned and did not care about his job. I also noticed that the employees would whisper a lot and look at me, my mom, and the other customers. On top of the whole thing the wrap I ordered does not even qualify as a wrap. It is about 1/4th the size of a wrap, and at this point is just bread. I am extremely displeased with this and I do not plan to give this company my business any more. Do not go if you wish to actually get your money's worth of food. Below is two pictures of what I got and one picture of what it claims to be served like. Not at all happy.

    McAlister's Club with potato salad
    Annamaria B.

    It definitely calls for an updated review when things change drastically. The food is always a solid choice. I have no complaints there. For your typical deli fare, it doesn't disappoint. The service has gone downhill. Walking in there was one party ahead of me waiting to order. One cashier was taking another person's order. There were about 5 other people behind the counter working...and I use that term loosely. A lot of them seemed like runners. They were just waiting on food. In the past, they seemed to multi-task. Finally one decided to take to a register and began taking the next in line. The food came out fairly quickly and was good. The service just needs to up their game.

    1/2 Veggie Spud and Caesar Salad
    Samantha I.

    Not gonna lie, I stopped eating at McAlister's for a long time after they got rid of the Greek Salad and sides of salsa for Veggie Spuds. Maybe it wasn't a big deal but seeing as how that was my favorite thing to order, I needed grieving time... Finally went back last week and got the Half Veggie Spud / Half Caesar Salad with sweet tea. It was a great lunch and I'm glad I went, but the side of salsa definitely makes the potato less dry (they should bring it back)! Also, a little more sugar in the tea would've made me happier, but I can appreciate not immediately contracting diabetes like some teas I've tasted. All in all, there's a ton to choose from and the customer service was wonderful (everyone smiling, greeting customers, friendly when ordering and delivering food, wishing a good day to people when leaving...) so I definitely recommend McAlisters.

    Half tea Half lemonade for the win! All day drink for the beach. lots of staff action spraying cleanser and wiping down the customer areas.

    I have been buying the bacon and cheese spud for years and have never received such a pathetic one as this!! $11.00 with a drink and this is what they had the nerve to bring me‍ It's usually 3 times that amount of topping and rightfully so for that amount of money! I will not be back to this location!!

    McAllisters club with fresh fruit
    Bronwen B.

    I don't usually get to this McAllister's very often, but on this most recent visit, I was in the area for a hair appointment at a salon nearby. I always order the same thing - I love the McAllister's club with fresh fruit. It's consistently good and I love the honey mustard that they put on the sandwich! Service is fast and efficient and there are plenty of tables to choose from - I wish they had more two tops because I was eating alone and I hate to take a 4 top when it's just me! It was late afternoon so there weren't too many people in there. I will be back again to get the club sandwich! Maybe one day I'll try something different - but I am a creature of habit. :)

    Jalapeño o Turkey Crunch 1/2 Salad and 1/2 Sandwich
    Hoang Vi F.

    I go here honestly for the sweet tea, their soups are okay and their sandwiches are kind of disssappointing. They're really small portioned and the salads are very bland and look and taste like I could throw it together in 5 minutes. I always go back when I am craving a sweet tea and then I always leave disappointed in the food. So if you're looking for a good sweet tea come here for the tea don't expect amazing food or service.

The menu has everything from sandwiches and salads to pastries, and they offer dine in, takeout, and delivery. Numerous gluten free options as well! The bread is even shipped in from Port Chester, New York! The South Side sandwich is incredible and as close to Arthur Avenue style as you will find. The crispy chicken cutlet with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, fire roasted peppers, and balsamic is perfection. The chicken parm sandwich is equally as impressive! As a first time visitor, they even give you a free cookie, which is such a thoughtful touch. The owner, Christian, made the experience unforgettable. As a fellow Fairfield County native, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was kind, generous, and had us sample the gluten free protein bombs and house made chips, which were amazing, along with their Arnold Palmers. The hospitality here is unparalleled. It is the perfect mix of northern charm and southern warmth. Easily the best service I have experienced from any owner in the Charleston area. All of the staff were wonderful and seemed to enjoy working there. It's also beautiful, bright and clean. The Boss is a must for anyone from Jersey. Taylor pork roll, two local eggs, and American cheese on a poppyseed kaiser roll done right! We cannot wait to come back. Wishing Christian and the entire team continued success!

    MOZZO DELI - FIVE STARS & THREE THUMBS UP!…read more I honestly can't believe I've been coming to Mozzo Deli in Mount Pleasant for YEARS and just realized I've never left these guys a review. So I'm definitely overdue -- and they deserve a great one! First off, the menu is HUGE. If you can't find something you want to eat here, I'm not sure anybody can help you. They have an incredible variety of sandwiches, build-your-own options, breakfast items, burgers, cheesesteaks and so much more. You could probably eat here every day for a month and still keep trying something different. My personal favourite is the Fusion sandwich. Let me tell you... after eating that thing, you walk out of Mozzo with a circus in your mouth! There's so much flavor going on, and somehow it all works together perfectly. It's the sandwich I keep coming back for. And then there are the CHIPS. I'm a bit of a chip fanatic, and Mozzo understands me. They have all kinds of unusual flavours -- Maui Onion, Funky Fusion and plenty of others. Grab a different bag every time and pair it with your sandwich. The Funky Fusion chips with the Fusion sandwich might be flavour overload, but I'm willing to take that risk. They also have a great selection of iced teas, a coffee station and refrigerators packed with cold drinks, so there are plenty of choices to go with your food. But what REALLY makes Mozzo special is the team. This place can get busy -- and for good reason -- but even when there's a line, these guys absolutely crank. There always seems to be a whole crew working behind the counter, and they operate like clockwork. Orders are moving, food is coming out, everyone knows what they're doing, and somehow they're still friendly while doing it. That says a lot about how well this place is managed. The manager is absolutely fantastic, the staff are always friendly, and after coming here for years, my wife and I are always treated like family. To me, that kind of service is every bit as important as the food. Great food. Huge selection. Fast service. Awesome staff. Great atmosphere. And enough sandwich-and-chip combinations to keep me entertained indefinitely. FIVE STARS & THREE THUMBS UP! If you're in Mount Pleasant and haven't tried Mozzo Deli yet, put it on your list. And try the Fusion. Just be prepared for the circus.

The service counter setup was confusing, as there are 2 registers but each facing a different direction. The staff immediately said hi, but never said which register to take my order as he was on the phone. Another staff member then arrived and took my order at the other register. I ordered the apollo dipper, and said I'd eat in. The seating options are a little sparse for one. There were a few tables for 4 or more, but not enough 2 tops. There is a long counter to sit, but I did not find it appealing and sat at the two top. The chairs look dirty, as the back supports had a dirty appearance from all the hands. My chair was also wobbly. Then I noticed the napkin dispenser on the table was dirty with dust. All this validated my initial opinion when entering. My order arrived, but in a to go bag. No problem, I stayed and ate it. Overall the sandwich was ok, with a soft warm bun. The melted cheese covered the turkey and ham below. I can't say the sandwich was very flavorful, so the Formula 45 sauce added flavor. Before leaving, I used the restroom and was not surprised by how dirty it was. Lots of dust on the top of toilet tank and the handicap bars. Then residual dried water spots under the paper dispenser and wall where the trash can was sitting. No effort here. I really don't like giving a review like this, but it was disappointing. I have visited Groucho's in the Columbia area and they were much better. While food taste and value usually come first, the appearance (cleanliness) also contributes to the experience. I've read other reviews that share similar experiences, so this is not a solitary moment. Hopefully feedback helps, maybe owners/managers will see the need to react to concerns. Unfortunately, I will not likely return.
