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.

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.

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.

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.

McAlister's Club and cucumbers and tomatoes salad
Jeanne D.

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.

Walking into the restaurant it was very busy. Almost every table was full. They have a huge variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. I really enjoyed the sweet bbq chicken sandwich. I had the cucumber salad on the side and house lemonade which was really good. I also got the s'mores cookie that was advertised on the menu. Everything was really good. I got asked if I need a Togo box for my sandwich which was really nice. The ambiance was nice even though it was fully packed. They have a nice rewards program on their app. I'm excited to come back and try more sandwiches and soups.

The McAlister's Club
Troy C.

I've been to a McAlisters before but it was awhile ago so I forgot how delicious it can be! I decided on the McAlisters club (them calling it their signature sandwich sold me)! It came with a side of your choice and I thought they used to have homemade chips and surprisingly they only offered an assortment of bagged lays brand chips. Anyways, the food was delivered quickly after ordering and I was shocked to see the presentation of the sandwich sliced into fours in a triangular formation. It really made for a more appetizing appearance. The sandwich had a ton of flavor and I really enjoyed the sweet mustard they used. It really was a unique flavoring of something I wish I could buy in a bottle separately so I can use it at home. I'd probably try a different sandwich next time I go just because there are so many choices on the menu that I am sure all of them are delicious! I'd recommend if you are in the mood for a sandwich and in the area to go to McAlisters!!

The best authentic Italian spot in town!…read more Walking inside of Stasio's brought me back to the small town outside of Philadelphia where I grew up. My Italian grandparents would take me to the market every weekend and we'd buy cannolis and deli meat and Italian cheeses to prep for different Italian dishes. My friend and I split the eggplant Parmesan sandwich. The sandwich was huge! It was definitely too much for just one of us so we decided to split it. It was served hot and had the perfect amount of sauce and eggplant and cheese. My friend told me that I had to try this pistachio cream cake and it was so flavorful and creamy and delicious! The next time I dine here, I would love to try one of their cold sandwiches! The service was very quick, and the staff was very kind and answered all of our questions!

The steak sandwich is my favorite; it has the perfect amount of spice and zest. Bread holds up nicely without becoming soggy from the steak. Rotating soups, sandwiches, and deli items are also available. Associates kindly ask upon entering if it's your first time so they can give you the run-down. Parking can be a challenge at times, and the interior can feel tight and overwhelming if there's a crowd of guests waiting. Stasio's is a great addition to the city as we don't have too many bodega style delis around. I forgot I'm in Florida when I'm here.

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.

Wow! The food is addictive! Ordered it three times in two weeks just as good every time!!read more

We do not live close to them but we will always stop when in the area. When we do visit, it looks at through many people shop here for their weekly items, as they seem to know the employees but then there are some such as us, that come for that special item.

The first time my wife and I stopped in, we ended up talking to one of the employees, who was so nice, gave us his recommendations, and even offered us a sample of the Cavallari Chicken Salad.

We didn't realize they only offer bialys or sesame buns, but we were all pleasantly surprised and happy with our choices. Everyone except me ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on different bialys like jalapeño & Muenster, everything, and caramelized onion. I ordered the bacon sandwich on a jalapeño & Muenster bialy, which was delicious. My sandwich came with bacon, an over-medium egg, and smoked jalapeño cream cheese, all perfectly toasted. There were no complaints from anyone, honestly, we all ate in silence, which says a lot because we were too busy enjoying the food. The only downside is that it's not much of a dine-in spot, as they only have high-top tables and no chairs.

There's lots of space to stand while you wait and they had magazines laid out to read while you wait for your order, which was a thoughtful touch.
