    I had never been here and decided to stop by for a quick lunch. They offer soups, sandwiches and salads, etc...it reminded me kind of like a Panera. Service was good, place was clean, the food was just okay. I've definitely had better soups and sandwiches. Nothing went wrong, I'm just not sure this is somewhere I'd return to, there's just too many other options that seem better.

    Country Potato Soup and  Black Angus Club
    Kaila J.

    We visited McAlister's today for lunch. I heard that it was a great neighborhood spot for lunch. You order at the counter, take a number and head to your table. They offer a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads. Also featuring a choose two option if you're into that. I had the black angus club with country potato soup. The sandwich was decent and the soup lacked flavor. The portions are also on the smaller side. My partner had a grilled cheese and chili. Overall the food was okay. I am sure we will give McAlister's another try again in the near future. The server pointed out a few of his favorites and it's close to our house.

    Pecanberry salad and New Yorker
    Steve A.

    Excellent deli sandwiches, quickly prepared. Lots of choices and generous portions, even in the pick two categories. Nice to have nachos as one of the pick two choices. Really enjoyed my New Yorker with the Pecanberry salad.

    This is the Chicago style French dip...

    I've been wanting to try McAlister's Deli, I was actually excited to try this--and I couldn't be more disappointed. I ordered through Uber Eats and had issues with multiple items. The sweet tea was unsweet (wrong item). The carrot cake was hard and clearly not fresh. The chicken and dumplings were completely broken down into mush--there were no actual dumplings left. The steak sandwich had very little flavor and an odd texture, and it included chunks of raw carrots that weren't mentioned. For the price the sandwichis extremely small if you are a grown man you will need 2. This whole experience was extremely disappointing. This felt like poor quality control across the entire order, and I wouldn't order from here again. The only edible item was the potato salad and they don't even give you a full spoonful. I would not recommend ordering from here.I would go elsewhere.

    Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Excellent sandwich. A bit on the expensive side. Sorry I only took a pic of 1:4 of the sandwich ( I was hungry.

    My wife wanted to stop in as she was stoked we finally got a McAlister's, so we did just that. This is a beautiful new restaurant located in a new shopping center. I ordered the chose two and my choices were the horseradish roast beef and cheddar, and a grilled chicken salad. I was very happy with my meal, I thought the portions were good for the price and the food was very fresh. I loved my sandwich, and I must say the bread was so soft and fresh. My wife ordered a chose two as well with a french dip and a side of mac and cheese. There is an upcharge for the mac and cheese and my wife mentioned was not worth it. She did say the french dip was really good. We split an iced team with peach added to it and thought it was so good yea we got a refill. The staff at the counter was friendly. We did find it out that one employee asked the text next to us if she could clear their table and offered them refills, but that was the only table to ever be offered refills and to be cleared. Once she did that she went back behind the counter and chatted with another employee. This does not change my opinion of the place, it was just an observation. I would stop back in as I thought the food was very good.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Cathryn G.

    I'm a huge fan of McAlister's Deli from my grad school days in Gainesville. It was a better version of Panera before anyone had heard of Panera and it still is a huge leap above. They serve sandwiches, salads, soups and such. McAlister's is also well known for their spuds, or baked potatoes loaded with toppings. I also highly recommend their iced tea. I was so stoked that a McAlister's was finally opening in this area, but I will say it is in a rapidly growing area where it may face quite a bit of competition. I hope it survives. I've been to this new location several times and partaken in my favorite dish which is their tortilla soup. It is a cheesy chicken soup spiced with green chiles and roasted peppers. It is served with tortilla chips on the side that you can dip or crumble in the soup. Although the food has lived up to my memory I will say that my experience at this location so far hasn't been quite up to par. Every time I have walked in I have been greeted by a host of dirty tables which is really unappealing. When I was there earlier this week it appeared only 2 people were working (1 in front and 1 in back). I hope they get the kinks out soon because I am real fan of the food.

    Its basically a knock off Panera. Problem is you're paying almost $20 for essentially a kids portion of food. The potato soup was terrible. It was basically water with a couple chunks of potato. The chicken club was decent, flavor wise. The entire portion was smaller than an appetizer that you would order at a restaurant. I don't see this place lasting long here with the current set up. It was definitely a one and done for me.

    Since I previously visited this franchise in Jacksonville I knew I could rely on the sandwiches that are served for a quick lunch in Kissimmee. You order at a counter and you receive a number that's placed on a stand on the table. My husband decided on a French Dip and chips, and I tried the McAllister club, both regular size, with a lemonade for him and an Arnold Palmer for me. The lunch was brought quickly to our table, even though it was still lunchtime. The location is convenient to where we stayed and it looks like the area is fairly new with other restaurants next door or very close by. I was surprised that they requested a tip when paying at the counter, because there are no real waiters or waitresses aside from the cashiers. Sandwiches are "fine" but not anything over a normal amount as opposed to my memory of the other location.

Each place setting contained prix fixe menu, a glass of water and chilled water in glass bottles for convent refills. Service was top notch. Drink selections were taken immediately after taking a seat. I ordered House Made Lemonade that was perfectly prepared...not too sweet or tart. Once the majority of the guests arrived, each table was served multiple portions of PANE AL FORMAGGIO V & SALUMI & FORMAGGI BOARDS. Both starters were freshly prepared and delicious. Our entree orders were taken as we continued networking & enjoying the starters, followed by a Caesar Salad. For my entree, I chose the CHARGRILLED BRANZINO GF and it exceeded my expectation. The headless whole fish stuff with fresh garlic & capers was served over a large portion of broccolini. The taste was amazing and the portion was generous. I was only able to finish a quarter of my entree but there was no way I was leaving anything behind. Several guests felt the same and also requested to go containers. Hubby and I passed on Tiramisu. We had no room left. Overall this was an amazing dining experience. I applaud the staff for the excellent service they delivered. I hope to visit the next time we're in Orlando.

Some highlights were the brussel sprouts, butter chicken tissa masala and the warm guava bread pudding. The self serve taco bar was also really good. The rest of the food was just ok. Probably a better place to have brunch with friends and if you come really hungry, but we were with our toddler and baby so wouldn't go back until they're a bit older.

We did end up waiting at the table for 20-25 mins before anyone came to us. Unfortunately, we also waited about 20 mins for our cocktails as well.

Santa Fe Salad - Loved that there was a whole avocado included with the salad. It really broke up some of the bold/intense flavors that come from a southwest salad. Entrees: Honey Glazed Norwegian Salmon - Presentation was great and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The bed of carrots were tasty and paired nicely with the salmon. Steak Frites - The fries were FANTASTIC. I couldn't stop eating them. The steak was cooked medium well so it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Dessert: Caramel Lava Cake - Hard outside but warm gooey inside. Paired with ice cream and caramel oh so good!! Doughnut Drops - I NEED THESE EVERY TIME I GO HERE. Wow, thanks to magical dining I ended up trying these and WOW WOW WOW. Thin crunchy outside and a pillow soft inside. Came with a chocolate dipping sauce and ice cream. PLEASE get this!!

It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has a beautiful, lively atmosphere, and the bar experience was excellent. I really wanted to enjoy dinner as much as I enjoyed the drinks and service. Overall, 3/5. I would definitely come back for happy hour, the Espresso Martinis and bartenders alone make that worthwhile but based on the food I tried, I wouldn't rush back for dinner.
