I have been wanting to come here... when will I learn? I arrived after the lunch rush. No one was in store. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Do they usually have music? It took awhile for the order taker to come up to the front. They were somewhere way in the back of the kitchen. I used the restroom while I was waiting for food. Picture of restroom to follow. Food brought out on a timely fashion. I must have been the only one there for perhaps 20 minutes. No one ever came out and checked on me or offered a refill on my drink. Needless to say my stomach started bothering me as I drove home. I barely made it home. Will I go to McA's again? Sure. Just not this one. read more

I have not been to here in quite a while. But we ordered food for a work meeting. We arrived there , nobody was in the restaurant. Two employees were talking. It looked like maybe a manager and another employee. They obviously saw us cause they were in front. And they glanced at us. They did not even acknowledge us. They obviously were speaking about something. But they left us waiting for at least 3, 4 minutes just standing there. No hello , I'll be right with you. No , sorry you had to wait. Nothing. What they should've done was just stop there talking. I couldn't believe that. That's what they did. If it wasn't a work meeting I would've walked right out. I will never go back there again. Unbelievable poor service.!!!!! And if this was the manager, he should be reprimanded read more

I visit McAlister's Deli often with my family, and I'm always amazed by the exceptional service from the staff. Diana greets us with her warm and friendly smile at the register each time we come. She goes above and beyond by recommending seasonal sandwiches and accommodating our dietary restrictions. Today we dined in and Diana even handed us a handwritten card!! The food here is consistently fresh and full of flavor. I've tried salads, wraps, and sandwiches, and they've all been fantastic. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. read more

I had a taste for a sub and wanted something different. So I looked on Yelp and found McAlister's. It had good ratings and lots of options. I wanted turkey and chose the spicy turkey melt. It had some good veggies added to the sandwich. Roasted turkey, bacon, pepper jack, avocado, chipotle ranch, spring mix and tomato on toasted baguette. The spring mix was a surprise. I thought it would just be some romaine and iceberg lettuce. But it was a nice handful of a spring mix. It wasn't spicy with the pepper jack or chipotle ranch. The sandwich was delicious abd for a 6" it was filling. I liked the toasted baguette. And since I was eating it in the car, it wasn't as messy as I thought it would be. I will be back to try other things when in the area!! read more

Slowly trekking towards my quest of 1400 reviews... lol. McAlister's is a solid, underrated quick meal stop! In my mind, their points of difference are: - baked potatoes (5-6 different varieties) readily available as a meal or as part of a pick 2! I like this as an option. - the best value in kids' meal I've ever seen! For $3, you get an entree like pizza, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, sandwich, or salad, a side (+$0.59 for an upgrade), and a mini chocolate chip cookie. Love it! Oh, Auntie Anne's hot dog bites are an entree option for a 50% premium ($4.58 meal). - 10% off for military or first aid respondents ongoing! I can't remember if teachers are also included in this. - very clean interior. I've been to 3 different locations this year, and all have consistently shown this. Clean tables, floors, bathrooms. Menu has plenty of hot or cold (like club) sandwiches, 8 or so salads, and 4-5 different soup options, along with the aforementioned spuds. My go to is usually the horseradish roast beef sandwich, which comes warm and is a good balance of savory beef, horseradish to open up your nasal passage, crunchy and acidic red onion, and cheddar cheese. Lastly, it's pretty quick and efficient bc you place your order at the register, get a number, and await your food. read more

Great service and food. They are always friendly. Sorry that Joanne the manager was sent to a different location.

They are good. I am not a huge fan of sandwiches but when I am in the mood of them, this place has pretty good selections, and I tried their wrap-chicken ceasar one, i liked that too. read more

Bright, clean, and inviting place with a friendly staff. So far I've tried a couple of their ginormous taters, the Veggie Spud and the Max Spud and they were both good and filled with plenty of tasty ingredients. The McAlister's Club is pretty good too. Prices aren't bad when you consider what you're getting for the money. read more

I love that McAllister's is there as an alternative to Panera. Whenever me and the wife feel like eating healthy but also something delicious, this place hits the spot. If you're familiar with the pick 2 options at Panera, they over something similar. 1/2 sandwich, salad, soup, OR spud. You cannot go wrong. I love ordering the chicken salad sandwich and chicken salad as my pick two. They always use fresh ingredients and it always comes out consistent. Their lemonade is bar none also. Worthwhile ordering. read more

Omg, the sandwiches was awful, it seems like they pit it together w their eyes closed. The wrap sandwich bread was broken, hard as a brick. Never ever AGAIN read more

I placed an order online and my sandwiches were messed up. I called there and she told me to bring them back and they would remake them and they would give me a drink and some cakes so when I went back there, she argued with me telling me was no big deal that my sandwiches are messed when I showed her my receipt she gave me a attitude she said What would you like me to do about it? I said I called you on the phone and you told me to bring my stuff back and I did she goes. I wanted you to bring back all my food so all my food could be cold when you guys only messed up my sandwiches. they will never have my business again. Sorry pick some else to get your food from. read more

Great food. Has classic deli ambience. Their sandwich service is fairly fast. I've been to a couple of places where it hasn't been so great. But this was very refreshing. Think I'll come here for lunch tomorrow. read more

BLTA- Very good sandwhich, garlic and herb mayo is amazing, lots of tomatoes kept the sandwhich moist, but the bread was too soft and soaked up all that moisture, could've used more bacon. 6/10 Chicken Tortilla Soup- Lacked flavor, looked like a plastic film around soup, made it feel like it came out of a can, large and chewy chicken chunks. 2/10 read more

My daughter and I stumbled upon McAlister's when we were in the area shopping recently and wanted lunch. We ordered sandwiches for curbside pickup on the app, which was very convenient. Their menu has a good variety of sandwiches, some salads, baked potatoes, soups and sides. They were busy so our order was delayed, but when we got home we realized that our food was worth the wait. We both had the New Yorker sandwich with soup and chips as our sides. Everything was really good. The next time we ordered I went inside for pick up and noted a very cute diner like interior. My family and I enjoyed our meal again so we will be regular customers. read more

We've been going to McAlister's for months on Friday's. And it just keeps getting worse! Sandwich's are thrown together. Extra items paid for not added. I have to pick up the mess and make a sandwich out of it I don't cook on Friday's for a reason. I guess because we go drive thru we won't notice until we get home. On a bright side we have a positive note we are getting our pickles again. Roast beef is horrible tough, stringy and tough. Now I have to find a new place for a Friday pick up.!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Online order placed in Bloomingdale. Choose 2 woth Veggie zsoud and garden salad. Drove 5 miles home and they packed the hot spud in same styrofoam container with salad. Salad was cooked! Called, spoke to manager just for awareness/training and he indicstes that's the way they do it. Adked how that makes sense to put a cold salad in closed container with steaming food when condensation and heat cooks the salad. Repeated same. Offered salad on next visit. Explained there is a chaon of command over him, maybe he could affect change in process. He again explained thats how the do things. Make sure if you get salad, request separate container. Dont get it! read more

I enjoyed the food, just a longer wait time than expected about 20 min ticket time from ordering with few people in the restaurant. Staff was nice and accommodating with different bread selections. The Choose Two option was helpful and cost exactly $10.00, but the sandwich was pretty small. The spud was filling though. read more

My wife and I came here on Monday evening for a quick meal. The restaurant reminds me of panera. My wife and I both ordered the combo 2. My wife got the jalapeño turkey crunch, and I got the ham and cheese melt. The young lady didn't know that they didn't have the correct type of bread, so the cooks informed her that they could use a different type of bread. That was great, but then we stood there as the young lady didn't know how to enter the sandwich info into the register. We stood at the register for over 5 mins as the young lady was trying to enter everything. We finished the transaction, waited a short period of time, and received our food. The food is slightly salty, but overall, it is good. read more

Found myself looking for a good lunch spot today and came into McAllisters for the first time! As soon as I walked up to the front I was greeted. I have never been here before so was unsure of what to order. I decided to go with a chicken Cesear wrap, soup and the Guava tea was recommended by the girl working the register. She had great customer service and helped me order with her personal suggestions. Joann brought us out the food and said she really hopes we enjoy it and wished us to have a great day. More great customer service. My husband went with a classic rueben sandwich, cup of chili and lemonade. The kids got a pizza, chix salad and broccoli chicken bowl. It was all delicious. The chicken was fresh, the lettuce was crispy and just the perfect amount of dressing. The reuben was very tasty. The chili was GREAT. A lot of places have a layer of oil on top of chili but this did NOT which was a super pleasant surprise. (I hate it when there is a layer of grease, ew). The kids were a part of the clean plate club and enjoyed cookies with their meal! I did snag a bite and the cookies were great. Tasted like grandma's homemade cookies. We also got Cinnabon cookies which were a mix in between snickerdoodle and Cinnabon buns. Great lunch all around. I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant. Not a smudge on the windows or glass... anywhere. All the tables were clean - which is super important obviously during a pandemic. All the employees were wearing masks. I came in the middle of a lunch rush and they had my order to me quickly and accurately. This is definitely my new sandwich spot and can't wait to recommend it to others. read more

Today was the first time that I have ever eaten here, the food was very good, especially the Reuben sandwich and Broccoli & cheese soup. The place was very clean and had a large dinning room area. The staff were very helpful and polite. read more

I'll give it to them that the food is good but I'm not sure if they know the concept of a deli. How do you call yourselves a "deli" when you don't sell meats, or cheeses, or salads? Any actual deli I have been too, you are able to buy say 1LB of turkey, or a small chicken salad that's what a deli is. your basically just another soup and sandwich shop. read more

We did a curbside pick up yesterday for lunch as we were in the area. I went with their Jalapeño Turkey Crunch which consists of Smoked turkey, jalapeño spud chips, bacon, pepper jack, avocado and mayo on toasted jalapeño roll. It was tasty and fresh especially the avocado. I wouldn't get this next time but I would get it again. My wife went with their Grilled Chicken which she enjoyed. She also tried their Broccoli Cheese soup and this is where it one less star. It was toooo cheesy and not enough broccoli at all. This soup was a big miss. We also had to medium sodas which were huge in size. They were more like a large size. Plenty of parking lot parking and a friendly staff to boot. read more

Sometimes eating at a Subway or Jimmy Johns is not enough. Every once in a while, I like to kick it up a notch and order up a gourmet sandwich. Mc Alister's is a fast casual sandwich shop that serves up a pretty good menu. They mostly sell sandwiches but they also sell loaded baked potatoes (Giant Spuds) nachos, soups and salads. The first McAlister's I visited was on a road trip with my husband to Indiana visiting his in laws. We drove for some time and started to get hungry as lunch hour approached. We decided to pull over to McAlister's not knowing what to expect. At the time, dine in was allowed and the service was pretty swift. McAlister's has some pretty delicious sandwiches and I like how they display the calorie count on their menu. The most recent to-go purchase I made was the French Dip. It was very good. I've tried others like the Spicy Turkey melt and that too was a solid sandwich. For a tasty sandwich and chips for under $10.00, it's worth the trip. read more

This was dingy, staff were unfriendly, food took forever, the side of fruit was moldy.

The format here is kind of like a Panera on steroids, with so many options that it's difficult to choose. Actually the menu board is so packed that it's hard to read it from the area in front of the counters. The food is overall really good; my favorite item is still the first one that I tried, the southwest chicken sandwich. The southwest chicken and avocado salad is also quite solid. I've tried about half a dozen sandwiches and there was only one dud...though I can't remember which one it was (maybe that's a plus). I have eaten in a couple of times (before the pandemic) and ordered takeout, and the workers here are next-level cheerful and helpful. I wouldn't come just for that, but it's a nice angle. read more

Delicious sandwiches! I got the blta on wheat and the lettuce is fresh, the avocado is perfectly ripe. The tomato and cucumber salad could use a seasoning but very fresh. Beef horseradish sandwich was so yummy!! read more

Great sandwich, but the music was so loud I couldn't hear what the guy was asking what l wanted on my sandwich.

These five stars represent a judgment on the sandwiches and sides that they make at very reasonable prices. The meats always seem fresh and delicious, and the sides are adequate for any appetite. Take the kids take the wife and enjoy. read more

I'm so excited to have another deli type of establishment in the area that rivals the likes of popular sandwich chains. McAlister's is tucked in a strip mall next to the Party City and across the Petsmart. McAlister's offers friendly service, a clean space, and ample parking. Like other sandwich shops, they have a pick two items option. What sets McAlister's apart is that you can pick any item of the menu as a pick two AND they have tons of options, so the combinations are endless. They have a variety of sandwiches from turkey to BLTs, to clubs, to Reuben. I've tried the Italian and the spicy turkey. Both were tasty! The chicken tortilla soup is SOOOO good and has a little zing to it! I've also tried a spud that was loaded with chicken, cheese, bacon, and a chipotle ranch!! Yummy!!! I've also tried a salad which was pretty good! For dessert, the chocolate chip cookie is fantastic! I look forward to going back and trying more items! I love that the spuds and shareables are part of the pick 2! If you carry out, they pack your food perfectly! The soup container is wrapped in plastic wrap to avoid spillage. Love little details like this! read more

Solid restaurant. I see it as a better panera in my opinion. Priced very well. You can smell the toasted bread as you come in. Sweet tea is not sickenly sweet. Overall healthier side of eating out at a reasonable price. read more

I used to order from McAlister's once a week. Loved the sandwiches and soup options. Plus their iced tea is awesome. My son loves their grilled cheese too so was a win-win. I have stopped ordering though because my last 4 orders all had something really wrong with them. Either missing drinks, wrong sandwich, nasty fruit in the fruit cup, and two times had missing soup. Big errors in my opinion and the frequency has turned me off. I would only recommend eating there if I were you to make sure you actually get your right order. read more

I love all the food choices and the employees are awesome! Unfortunately every time I go in the place it is dirty. I almost lost my shoe on the sticky floor right in-front of the register.
