    Our delicious food, completely ON POINT!
    Chico G.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
    Steve F.

    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

    Clean place. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Food was well made ordered The New Yorker was tasty. Caesar salad was fine. The pickle was disappointing never had one cut so small. Felt like about an 1/8 of a spear sliced.

    This is our first time visiting and will definitely be back. We ordered the "Choose 2" $11.19 BLT w/avocado, Country potato soup, Club wrap and chicken tortilla soup, chocolate chip cookies & sweet tea. The service was fast and efficient. The prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is nice, cool, and clean.

    Harvest Chicken Salad (contains pecans) and potatoes soup. Delicious

We saw all the desserts right when we walked in and let me tell you, sooooo good. We settled for deli sandwiches and some salads. All very good. I plan to try everything on the menu so this will one of many reviews. The value was quite reasonable and we had leftovers, so two meals from one sandwich! So much meat on it that you fill up fast. The best part about being in the deli is the atmosphere. There is a full grocery store of Italian foods, people eating at the dining area and ordering going on at the deli counter. It is a fun place to be. Highly recommend!

I stepped into this joint and transported back in time - Sunday after church, five years old again with my grandparents, standing at the counter of Giannella's in Paterson, NJ. With the exception of the cashier dude, the staff was...uh..."mezza morto," and definitely in need of some Italian or Italian-American inspiration. A little life. A little rhythm. A smile perhaps. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, add wet mozzarella, hot soppressata, roasted red peppers, oil, and balsamic.. The cutlets were too thick and the mozzarella, although fresh, was strangely tasteless. Apparently this sandwich was infused with gold, crypto, or something because it rang in at $24 with the add-ons. My person had the eggplant parm, which unfortunately was over-seasoned with only a slight trace of mozzarella. The marinara on the side was undefinable. We hit the bakery on the way out. The sfogliatella and cannoli were great, and so were the ladies behind the counter, warm, lively, and actually happy to be there. Look, I'm goin' back to Romanelli's. I'll even pay another $24 for a sandwich. There's a reason this place has been there for decades, and they deserve another shot.

And then you are going to spend a good long time at the sandwich board menu because there are options like none other. The Lost Menu, where there are so many unique items, you are going to be standing there a lil' lost and not knowing what to do, and the regular-ish menu. I stayed mostly there but smoked beef taco? Yes, please. I ordered that and also a carne asada and a birria. I felt a big piggish, but I had to. Then again, I'm glad I did because while they were packed ingredients, they were on the small side. What other restaurant gives you the option of flour, corn or homemade corn tortillas? Did I have any other choice but to order the latter? Unfortunately, one fell apart, it was so stuffed with goodness, but I won't hold that against them. The meats were all unique and delicious. I was the most confused by the smoked beef. It reminded me of some meat I had in Italy that was black but not charred and melted when I bit into it. I don't need to experience that again, but I could eat the other traditionally tender and flavorful versions daily. The three-taco combo comes two sides. I almost ordered fries but when I shifted to beans and rice, out of fairness to tradition, I got a nod of approval. But, I have a feeling I would have gotten one no matter what I did, because of patience and kindness of these Lost Burro folks. The rice was middling but those beans - didn't taste as though they'd ever seen the inside of a can. Thick, rich and flavorful. I ordered a side of consume, just because it was bone broth, and I hadn't seen that before. It was tasty, but I realized more prefer a red broth with big chunks of stewed beef. I will judge you unkindly if you give me a Jamaica that is just one step up from Koolaid. Nah, these folks had me wash it all down with icy cold tea goodness, with a star anise waiting for me at the bottom of my cup. I wish I did not live an hour away. It's not fair.

Outstanding food and eating-in experience…read more Their KRISPY KRUNCHY FRIED CHICKEN is FAR better, MUCH more highly superior, to any of the other fried chicken chain outlets we've tried before. Cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Excellent, fresh flavor! As it is prepared to order, expect about a 15 minute wait time for the chicken... but WELL worth that wait, as it turned out. Fries and Onion Rings sides were PERFECT, and tastier than most. Interesting, varied menu, too! Very generous portions... and the chicken pieces were real, actual sized pieces of chicken... not like the canary-sized tidbits served up by today's fried chicken chain outlets! Although the seating area was VERY small (store front operation,) the facilities were bright, clean and well maintained. The staff was welcoming, patient and most helpful as we worked our way through their surprisingly large, and varied menu! Reasonably priced, too! Overall... a happy find... and now one of our go-to favorites! Just wish they had a LOT more locations closer (to us!) Surprise/Sun City areas would benefit from having closer access to Outta Bronx sandwich/hot dog/wings/Krispy Krunchy chicken locations! I think it would catch on in no-time... assuming today's quality, and value, remained the same, of course. I'm, generally, hard to please... but Outta Bronx/Krispy Krunchy chicken seems to hit it on all cylinders! VERY pleased. Mark us down as huge fans!
