The New Yorker Broccoli and Cheddar Soup
Brian B.

Same ol same ol... Thought perhaps it would be different from last time but lo and behold it wasn't. Big Promo advertising on the Cuban. My mistake. Not a hot sammy but something that was sitting out on the dash while working. Chips were good though. Pork on the sandwich was tender with little flavor and the ham was good. Not sure what the issue is with Odessa water so they did not have Dr. Pepper or any other soft drink. Service was slower than expected but I guess a slow cook in the hot water took longer than expected to heat the pork a little bit. Not impressed so IMO. Better off at Firehouse or Jersey Mike's

I ordered the Savannah Chopped Salad. This lettuce was in my salad. Why would you put brown lettuce in a $13 salad. Not going back.

I ordered the Savannah Chopped Salad to go. They made my salad with brown lettuce. I had already been up there twice. I didn't want to go back up there. Sooo disappointed. Not going back.

Just a piece of trim off a booth

Well. Contrary to my previous review today was exceptional. MICHELLE made my day. She was friendly and helpful and very courteous with a nice smile on her face. I explained to her the last time we were there how awful the service was and how dirty the tables were. Today was different. Tables were clean and everything was spotless. I picked up food to go, and Michelle brought it to my table and wished me well and thank you for coming in again. I will go back. I left one picture showing some age of the booths, but that's understandable. Just simply a little freshening up would do the store wonders

McAlisters Club with Jalapeño chips and Fruit bowl
Allen U.

Visited on a Friday night of all times with family on what appears as a slow time. Upon entering there is about only 3 people working the restaurant and there are tables dirty everywhere throughout the restaurant. It took about 5 minutes for anyone to take our order in which was already a red flag! After taking our order it took about 30 minutes to receive our food, and the place wasn't even busy on a Friday night around 6:30pm! I ordered the McAlisters club choose two with chicken tortilla soup, barely any tortilla chips on my plate to compliment my soup and as for the sandwich included tomatoes and honey mustard both of which I requested they remove. Already 30 minutes invested there I decided to keep the plate and remove the tomatoes myself and tough out the honey mustard on my sandwich. I went to get a sweet tea refill and the girl up front took about 5 minutes to acknowledge me was busy cleaning a spill by the tea dispensers than to refill my cup and appeared to not want to be there at all. Overall, this place really went downhill fast really tarnished what McAlisters Deli used to represent mind you I am not from Odessa anymore however it went downhill fast. I'll stick to San Antonio McAlister Deli if I am ever hankering this deli.

Half "bowl" of Country Potato Soup
Jessica B.

I ordered two basic items! 2! Two!! Nothing complex. A bowl, not a cup, of Country potato soup (No chives) & a baked potato spud for my daughter. She loved her spud this time. (FYI, it comes with butter & sour cream ONLY) For the soup-I received a bowl size cup, half full with NO toppings at all. No cheese & no bacon. Very disappointed because it was a To-Go order! Two stars ONLY because what we got, actually tasted good OR we were just starving. **Note: ABSOLUTELY No bites had been taken from bowl**

Club and chopped salad with sherry shallot dressing.

See all

Horrible customer service. The manager was just in a terrible mood and I didn't feel welcomed.

No indoor seating. Always very short staffed even before covid. Long wait times when indoor dining was available over 3 years ago.

Great food, but they move like snails. Don't recommend this place if you're in a hurry.

Food is good although a little pricey. Atmosphere is OK BUT Overall is a great place to go for something different than the norm.
