Great food and service at the McAlisters of NMB. Food was fast and fresh. Service attentive and kind even with the rush of lunch orders. McAllisters is always consistent and great!

Scary line!

It helps to have expectations in check. The term "deli" connotes, to me, matzo ball soup, big fat sloppy reubens that take like 4 utensils to handle, and kosher pickles you could swing and knock people out with. This ain't that connotation. But for lunch while running errands--it will do. I almost left when I walked in because there was a long line of elderly women ahead of me with one harried lady taking orders. But I decided that being an impatient jerk is just way too easy and I'm all about doing the hard work to be a better person. I thought there would be interminable questions about "Is it gluten-free?" "Will the poppy seeds stick in my dentures?" and "Is the sweet tea, too sweet?", but the oldsters cracked right through their ordering process and I had to remember that some day I will be terrifically old and shuffle into a chain deli in my slippers, faded sleep pants, and Hawaiian shirt and by God order my cup of tomato bisque all by my proud self. McAlister was apparently a failed dentist in Mississippi (probably not many teeth to work with there--and damn, taking easy shots like that is NOT making me a better person), who did a hell of a lot better with sandwiches, soups, spuds, and salads. Surprisingly, as of 2019, the McAlister franchises have beaten out Papa Johns, Arby's, and Hardees according to the Entrepeneur Top 500 Franchises list. It has to be on the strength of the tater salad. That tater salad is mustard based and except for missing little bits of boiled egg in it--is just LIKE my mommas! Most of the social situations my parents get invited to, they want her to bring her tater salad, (and maybe leave my dad home). To me, it was just that good. My Harvest Chicken Salad was pretty to look at and well constructed but I was maybe expecting gleaming chunks of white chicken meat, pecan halves and other yummy bits and was a tad disappointed that the chicken salad was less chunky with stuff and more creamy, like somebody turned the blender on and looked at their cell, then was like, oh hell, it'll still taste good. It did taste good, but texture matters. A serviceable lunch--sandwiched in, as it were, between getting a painting framed and getting the car washed. That tater salad though was proper "deli".

Found this wonderful little deli while visiting north Myrtle Beach. It was about a 25 min drive…read moreand so worth it!! I ordered the #3- Reuben's with gluten free bread, this was so delicious!! The sweet potato fries are crispy and great as well. My son ate the macaroni salad and loved it!! They have so many sides to choose from and a delicious looking bakery case as well!! The service was wonderful and quick. We ate out on their patio and it was clean and comfortable! Go check it out!! Highly recommend!

Very easy to find, but parking is an issue as would be expected. They actually have a decent amount…read moreof paved parking available but are often quite busy. There are a few spaces in front of the door and more along the side of the building. We wound up parking in the rear across an alley in a grassy lot marked for parking. Turn to the right after you enter and go along the counter. There are two ordering stations depending on how busy they are. You will walk past their pastry cabinet so be prepared to increase your order. There is no designated waiting area after you place your order so try to find a place out of the way. There is a dedicated pick up window when they call your number. Pay attention to the numbers as they are called as the food is ready which is not necessarily in sequence. A better choice would be to call ahead as you will be able to pick up your order at the first part of the counter avoiding a lot of waiting. Seating is various tables. There is an outside seating area as well. Everything is pretty crowded together and if you are eating inside expect there will be other customers standing nearby waiting for their orders. We waited about 15 minutes for our order to be called. They have daily specials and the one when we were there was a bbq brisket sandwich with tater tots. There was a good amount of brisket on the sandwich. The meat was flavorful but not the best bbq I have had. The tots were cooked perfectly and piping hot. The roast beef melt was excellent with plenty of meat on an excellent bun. The bread was slightly crunchy outside and soft inside. Of course, standing by the pastry cabinet as we waited to order caused a white chocolate raspberry scone, a piece of baklava, a French toast muffin, and a pumpkin spice muffin to follow us home. All were excellent, with the French toast muffin and the white chocolate raspberry scone earning top praise. The staff was very friendly even though they were quite busy. Calabash Deli deserves to be on the list of top places to try when in the area.

They've been in business since 1948 and I've been coming here since the late 1960's when my family…read morewould vacation in Cherry Grove. Even though as an adult I usually stay in Myrtle Beach , I still make a trip to Cherry Grove to walk the pier , walk the beach , and of course stop in at Boulineau's IGA. I make a point to come the day they do Chicken Bog in the Cafe , which I think is Friday. It is so good and so is the Fried Chicken. The Cafe has such a great selection , great price , clean dining areas , great service , and is very popular with tourists and locals. I stayed at the Golden Mile / Cabana Beach the whole month of February and came here twice. The grocery store has pretty much everything you need for vacation. Food , bathroom items , cleaners , fresh produce , fresh meats , grilling supplies , fishing supplies , beach items , you name it ! Upstairs they have a shop with all kinds of beach items like shirts , decorations , swimwear , hats , wind chimes , games , coffee cups , and on and on. The prices are fair for North Myrtle Beach / Myrtle Beach. Of course you have to go up to the observation area that looks like a lighthouse and look at the ocean and the surrounding area , it's free. So many memories for me here in Cherry Grove. One of my favorite places in the world and I lived in Germany for 4 years in the Army and traveled Europe in the 80's. It will always be in my heart.

Fresh seafood , clean store and a variety of goods for everyone. Would recommend and tell friendsread more
