    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.

We tried their Italian, sub of the week and caprese with chicken. All of the sandwiches were delicious and huge. Definitely shareable but you won't want to share because they are that good. The vinaigrette on the subs is heavenly. I also can't leave without getting the beet salad, tomato/mozzerella, and the pasta salad. All of them are so good. The beets are so fresh and light - they are my favorite. If you go early enough you can also snag some Sfogliatella or rainbow cookies. They also have a variety of cakes in different varieties and flavors. In addition to fresh offerings, they have a variety of Italian grocery items from pastas and sauces, to cookies and wafers, to canned or pickled veggies. Definitely an Orlando staple that you have to try!

That personal touch makes the experience feel extra special. A heads-up on parking; the lot is pretty small and shared with a brewery, so it can get a little tricky. With a bit of patience, though, you should be able to find a spot. I tried the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was so good! I love that they offer it all day. The bread was freshly made, and they use real eggs. It was perfectly seasoned that I didn't even need to add salt or pepper. I also tried their Italian wedding and rainbow cookies, both delicious. Prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. They have a deli, where you can pick up fresh meats, they have a coffee bar, with a selection of desserts, and a little shopping area where you can pick up authentic Italian pantry staples like pasta and sauces. Seating includes a few bar seats along the back wall and covered outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially the chicken parm sandwich. Between the quality of the food, welcoming staff, and charming atmosphere, I highly recommend Stasio's.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

This leads to the back deli. It is cramped, but not terrible. A couple was in front of me. I could tell by the demeanor of the gentleman that they had been there a while already and the woman was asking multiple questions of the staff. No big deal. A little annoying, but some people are just talkative. This goes on, an estimate of say five minutes. Five minutes of a woman asking questions of the male staff member as the young woman staff member chimed in with information or an answer. At no point during this time did either of them acknowledge that someone was waiting or anything. No eye contact. Nothing. Finally the couple is done. The young woman behind the counter asks what I want. I order. In the middle of her slicing one of the deli meats, another customer comes up and asks for a pound of the meat she was currently slicing. Customer service will tell you to take care of customers in the order of arrival. Not according to this place. No, she decided to skip over me and service someone else. I understand that it was probably easier that way - given you might have to clean up between meats, or whatever else. And that's fine - IF YOU COMMUNICATE with the customer. The lady ordering the meat apologized. For reasons? It wasn't her fault. I appreciate it, but unnecessary. Finally after waiting for a longer time, the young woman behind the counter apologized for the delay. There never should have been a delay. Plus the sandwich was lackluster. I try to avoid big chains. I like small businesses. But when you treat people like this; why should I return?

It is definitely on the messier side, though, so if you are getting it to go or traveling any distance, I would recommend asking for the vinaigrette on the side. Ray's has strong neighborhood bodega vibes, generous portions, and the kind of menu where they are willing to customize your order instead of making things complicated. My only minor critique is that one employee could have been a little friendlier, but everyone else made the experience enjoyable. Another great visit, and we will absolutely be back.
