Food was ok but I was not that impressed. Customer service is friendly and fast on a busy weekend brunch time. The ambiance of the place was good and the place gets busy during brunch times

Our delicious food, completely ON POINT!

Wow, once again !!! Jianna did it again!, we walked in and there she was with her great smile and friendly greeting! Her attitude brightened our day! Jianna was so attentive to our order and she had no problem paying attention to detail with one of my favorite orders here , Jalapeño's turkey Crunch and perfect fresh garden salad!! So so delicious! And again, the cleanliness and welcoming dining area makes this place a MUST stay and eat place and not to discount the cool music. Outstanding job Jianna and McAllister's! I'm a forever customer and fan.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and there were a not a lot of patrons in the restaurant. I ordered a spud and was very disappointed. I haven't been here in years, and this was my first time since moving back to the valley. My baked potato was not cooked all the way, and there was an ick spot on both ends, so I had to cut a good portion of the potato off before I could actually eat it. I have a dairy allergy so I was not able to use sour cream or cheese, I asked for extra butter, and the butter was very oily and disgusting. My family was also with me and got their orders wrong. My niece's kids mac & cheese was at room temperature, borderline cold, and they also brought my sister the wrong nachos. When she told the guy that it was wrong, he said, can I just bring you a dessert? The reason why she ordered a particular plate was because of my allergies, and he didn't even do anything about it. We were very disappointed with this visit.

Potato salad Club sandwich Chocolate chip cookie Lemonade Quick service; has indoor and outdoor seating plus a drive-thru; love how it opens up over the Jamba Juice next door Will be back to try other menu items-intrigued by the spuds!

Horseradish Roast Beef and Cheddar Sandwich

I've only been to MacAllister three or four times mostly because it's kind of far from me. But where I live I'm pretty sure delis are banned. I cannot understand why There are no delis in the West Phoenix valley. I know I know everyone will tell you, Goodcents firehouse mr pickles (gross) Jersey Mike's, blah blah blah... those are not delis. those are sub shops. for those that don't know delis are like a mini market that have amazing sandwiches on any kind of bread you want. not just a hoagie roll. And many many meat options that are fresh sliced, from a deli case, and dozens of toppings to choose from. Anyway, McAllister's is the closest thing to a real deli that I have found in West Valley so far. That said of the other two or three options that are so-called delis McAllister's is the best for two reasons, one price and two variety. My sandwich soda and side cost $15. not bad. The so-called deli across the street would have cost me over 30. In fact the last time I was there it was 35 for a sandwich side and a drink but that's another story. This time around I got the beef and cheddar with horseradish sauce. Really good. I was not even hungry for that when I came in there, but I saw it on the menu and had to have it. I will say the cucumber salad was a little disappointing. they should just call that tomato salad. And their sweet tea was good as well. Service is really good and the place is clean. If it were closer to me I'd probably go there once a week at least.

New Yorker sandwich and Tomato & Cucumber Salad.

Stopped in to try the New Yorker and it did not disappoint. Huge portions and excellent flavor. Had the Tomato and cucumber salad as my side and it was great as well. Staff was friendly and helpful, checked to see if I wanted a refill on my drink and if there was anything else needed. Will definitely return

Several years ago I tried Romanelli's food at the Farmers market at Sun City. I thought their…read moremeatballs were very good. My brother saw their Facebook page and thought we should have lunch at their deli in Phoenix. We brought our friend along and made it a threesome. My brother and I had the Robert's Special (Roast Beef, Pastrami, Provolone Cheese, Tomato, Mayo & Onion, Served Hot). My friend had the George's Special (Ham, Capicolla, Salami, Mortadella, Pepperoni, Provolone, and Hot Peppers or Sweet Peppers). The consensus was unanimous. The bread is great. The meat was too! To finish off our meal we all had a Cannoli. Magnifico. The crunchy shell was dusted with powdered sugar and the filling was sweet and creamy. There is an array of Sandwiches, entrees, soups , and specials. Same for the bakery. A sweet list of cakes, cookies etc. Parking can be a problem. Not enough spaces to park. I suggest you have your lunch earlier than noon. Tables will be full at that time. Looking forward to trying something different on my next visit.

They are Always busy! Food is consistently good. Im…read moreReferring to the cheeses, cold cuts and refrigerated goods. If you are of Italian descent, you will find a large variety of canned tomatoes/vegetables, pastas, Italian rice for risotto, olive oils, cookies and Italian flour for homemade pizza. Like true Italians, they have Fresh breads and ready meals. They also serve sandwiches. You won't be disappointed.
