Choose 2. Salad w/ chicken salad & a half pastrami sandwich.
A.J. C.

Super fast service as I ordered in the parking lot and picked it up three minutes later. 3 different girls asked to help me & they made my drink fresh on the spot. Dining & restroom was clean! My French dip was gigantic. I added tomato and peppers. The sandwich was made well and the flavor was pretty good though. I'm not a huge fan of roast beef. Side of mac & cheese was super cheesy. They forgot my pickle, but I don't love pickle spears anyway. Arnold Palmer was just right, although I looove their sweet tea, just trying to watch my sugar. Great deal online w/ 11$ off order!!

The McAllister Deli is way superior to a Panera. The food was on point for a great lunch. The restaurant was clean and fresh in appearance. The staff wS amazing with details to allergies and super friendly. Definitely going to visit again.

Chicken tortilla soup

I first went to a McAlister's down in North Carolina years ago and am happy that there's one nearby! I will add more photos next time I go but today it's so cold I just got soup. The staff is always friendly and ready to greet you as soon as you walk in. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, soup, and loaded baked potatoes. Their French Dip is one of the best I've ever had. My husband loves the smoky pepper jack turkey sandwich. There's plenty of seating (both booths and tables) and they also offer catering.

I had the opportunity to try the veggie offerings at McAlister's Deli in North Olmsted, recently, and I can tell you that the dish is a far cry from the kind of sad veggie sandwiches of yesterday. I ordered the "Choose 2" including a half sandwich and soup, choosing, of course, The Veggie sandwich and the Veggie Chili. The Veggie Sandwich is served on a 9-grain bread, topped with spinach, tomato, cucumber, red onions, multi-colored peppers that they roast in-house, and avocado. The sandwich is usually served with herb mayo, which I chose to forego, and replaced instead with brown mustard. The bread was chewy, the veggies were crisp & fresh, and the avocado and mustard added a creamy element so that I didn't miss the mayo in the slightest. I chose the Veggie Chili as my other half of the "Choose 2" and it, too, was a solid plant-based offering. This bean-based chili is made with a vegetable base, pinto & kidney beans, and all of the spices and veggies you'd expect in a great chili. It was hearty, satisfying, and just what I was looking for to warm up a chilly day, no pun intended. Add to a great meal the fact that the service was truly exceptional, with two extraordinarily helpful team members that supported our visit, and I left full, happy, and with a satisfied plant-based heart and stomach. Heartfelt gratitude to the team at McAlister's Deli for helping me find plant-based offerings that are intentional, beautiful, flavorful, and nutritionally sound. Much appreciation to everyone at McAlister's for keeping their plant-based friends in mind.

Baked potato and chili

Baked potato and chili. Good food. Hot and tasty. Ordered it for pick up and it was ready right on time. The counter guy greeted me promptly, thanked me for coming. Restaurant is always clean.

This is becoming our new go to for sandwiches and salads. Such a wide variety of items. Kids did not like the pizza and said the sauce was spicy.

Truth in advertising?
Rick W.

I want to be clear, my lunch tasted great. The service was, likewise, excellent - the kids behind the counter were polite and couldn't have been nicer. For that reason, I'm giving 4 -stars. My only issue (aside from the dirty entryway) was the bait and switch advertising of the sandwiches. If you look at what is supposed to be the Jalapeno Turkey Crunch in their advertising, you'll see layer upon layer of chips - intended to provide flavor and CRUNCH. Instead, the sandwich I got had probably 3 chips per half and they were smashed between bacon and cheese and mayo so they stood no chance. not only could i not really taste anything resembling a jalapeno, there was almost nothing in terms of crunch either. I don't blame the workers. These kinds of decisions come down to the bean counters and management (store, regional, corp). That said, the sandwich tasted great. My wife also enjoyed her soup and salad. We'll be back, I'm sure, but will I ever really trust McAlister's to provide the sandwich I've seem in print.

Husband had never been here and he does not like Panera. April and Jen are the nicest ladies kind courteous and friendly. Had the choose 2 with Potato soup and the Savannah chopped salad. Soul was hot and salad fresh with plenty of tasty toppings. Had the new passion berry ice tea (half&half with unsweetened tea) Hubby had the Italian w/side salad. Food came out fast and fresh. He even said he'd go there again!

We stopped for lunch yesterday, and I can't believe this is my first time leaving a review! This…read morewas my third visit, but it was my husband's and sons' first time, and they were blown away. We arrived around noon, and the restaurant was busy, with an estimated 20-minute wait. We were actually seated before the full 20 minutes, and our server, Missy, was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. My husband ordered the Reuben, I got the large fatoosh salad with grilled chicken in the side, and my son ordered the corned beef sandwich with Swiss cheese. The portions were HUGE! My husband and son couldn't believe how big their sandwiches were. My son had really been craving a good corned beef sandwich, and this one definitely hit the spot! He ate half and took the rest home for lunch the next day because it was so big. My salad was also very generous in size. The side of chicken came in a separate plate, which I thought was odd, but I cut it up and added it to my salad. The menu is so extensive that we had a hard time deciding what to order. There were so many things we wanted to try! That just gives us another reason to come back. I had brought a friend here on a previous visit, and she enjoyed it just as much. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service make this place a winner. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

My boyfriend suggested we give it a try, and I randomly tagged along. I ended up getting the turkey…read moredinner with stuffing, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. Wow I was pleasantly surprised! I wasn't even planning on coming here, but I was genuinely blown away by how good the food was. Everything was delicious, and now I'm slightly annoyed that I didn't discover this place sooner. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to because I need to try more of the menu. The service was also great! friendly, prompt, and impressive considering how busy this place was. There was basically a constant stream of people walking in and out, which is always a pretty good sign that the food is good and they are doing something right! I did notice the desserts, but unfortunately, I was calorie-shy today. Next time I come dessert will be happening.
