    OK, after 11 yrs we got back to this new location. Lots and lots of competition for casual lunches in Collin county. Pretty sure this McAlister's was located several blocks north of current location. I think they occupy to old Container Store location. Anyway great food and service. We both got the pick two and it was plenty of food. Lots of other customers there for lunch and take out. Don't be concerned about ratings on Yelp. Google reviews much better and higher star rating. Very nice interior layout. Just like before but with new stuff. See photos. Hot sunny days try to park on north side for shade without blocking take out parking spots.

    This is my second attempt to get my wrap... I have ordered the same thing a few times and have gotten something different each time. They greet you when you walk in, but then are kind of half checked-out.

    Been here twice and I've really enjoyed both times! They have decent deals on the app which is why I went. Was super yummy and lots of flavor. I've not typically a baked potato girl but WOW theirs is really yummy and flavorful. Service is fantastic, there's one guy at this location that doesn't even look like he works there but he's so chill and nice. Inside it's clean and I like the no contact order idea, helps when the line is long.

    A close up.

    Good stuff. 13 layer club sandwich and carrot cake. Delivered by Uber Eats ahead of schedule.

    Ordered my lunch to go thru the app. The app needs to allow for notes. I wanted sour cream on the side and my half tea/lemonade with no ice. When ordering there's not a place to put these notes/customization. When I arrived to pick-up my order it wasn't out on the shelf. So I had to get on the ordering lunch line to inquire about my order. The young lady on the cash register did not seem happy to be at work. Customer service is everything especially when working the cash register. I've been a cashier in retail and entertainment. You serve as the face of the company. When I asked for my order she went to the back to get it. I informed her of my 1/2 and 1/2 drink with no ice. Once returning to work from my lunch break, excited to drink my 1/2 tea and lemonade at the end of my work day to discover it was tea. From the taste it was 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweetened, so disappointing.

    No fries! Ah, what a nice change for a fast food eatery. You can actually have your sandwich with steamed vegetables or salad. Don't get me wrong, you can still find fattening options here (potato chips anyone?), but you might be more likely to choose something healthy and delicious. We don't normally visit this location in Plano, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. I think we must have just missed the lunch crowd because a few of the tables still hadn't been cleared of debris. Thankfully there were still lots of clean tables to choose from, including one by the window. It's mostly just parking lot and freeway to look at, but that is pretty much par for the course in the DFW metroplex. I ordered a Jalapeño Turkey Crunch with a side tomato and cucumber salad. The sandwich was fantastic! I was tempted to return to the deli today and get the same thing again. It had just the right balance of each ingredient. The jalapeños provided a bit of heat. The avocado chunks were cool and creamy. At first I thought the crunch was the super thin layer of bacon on the sandwich, but it turned out to be perfectly placed potato chips that didn't overwhelm the sandwich. Even the bread was scrumptious. It was super soft and easy to tear off with every bite. The jalapeño cooked into the bread complemented the sandwich. Sadly my tomato and cucumber salad was not as good. There were too few tomato chunks, and the pieces that were there, were quite large. The oil/vinegar/balsamic sauce that they were swimming in did not seem fresh. I immediately regretted not getting the steamed broccoli like my hubby or even a soup instead. My husband's french dip looked amazing. He had no complaints. Matter of fact there was no conversation because he was busy enjoying his meal too. The young man at the register was helpful during our meal selection and afterwards when we asked for drink refills of tea before departing. While we might not return to this particular location, I will definitely return to McAlisters to order this sandwich.

    I got the Turkey sandwich and the pecan berry salad choose two option. The salad and especially the dressing was so good with a good amount of salad toppings. We got this for my work team to go and it came through smoothly so definitely a solid lunch spot in the area.

    When I went I ordered a Reuben, but the person who brought it to my table called it a New Yorker, which has ham in it, causing some confusion (I do not eat ham). It was a Reuben but I was freaked out for a minute or two. I also asked for spicy brown mustard and received yellow mustard, so some quality issues.... but the sandwich itself was good. Also, this may be a tad nit-picky, but my plate and bowl hadn't been wiped and looked dirty when they were served to me. I'm sure it wasn't dirty, but maybe the person who was plating could be more careful and try to be neater? It just didn't look appealing.

    Staff wasn't professional, and didn't make my food right. The employee I had was rude and didn't seem cordial.

    Wow--when you're compelled to write a review just hours after visiting, you know you've stumbled…read moreupon something truly special. I found The Sandwich Spot on Yelp after searching for Dutch Crunch bread. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of fresh vegetables and warm, crusty bread--if happiness had a scent, this would be it! Their sandwich selection is impressive. I originally drove an hour (one-way!) just for the Dutch Crunch rolls. Then I walked in, got greeted with that heavenly smell and super friendly vibes, and there was no way I was leaving without a sandwich. I went with the BLT, and let me tell you: it was loaded with crispy bacon and absolutely delicious. The place is spotless, including the restroom, and the customer service is top-notch. I called ahead to check on the Dutch Crunch rolls, and you could literally hear the smile through the phone. Jeff is fantastic, and the entire team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative--thanking me multiple times for stopping by. I highly recommend The Sandwich Spot. I'd will be making the drive again and again for the food and the friendly service.

At a minimum, I expect it to have at least as much filling as Jersey Mike's sandwiches. It certainly doesn't. Additionally, Jersey Mike's makes a better sandwich. They just do. Bottom line: very nice people are running this place without question. However, I likely won't return. It's just not worth the significant premium they charge for their sandwiches, when you can go to Jersey Mike's, get a much bigger and better sandwich, for a much better price. The portion size was simply unacceptable for the price. I do wish them the best of luck, as they are clearly good people.
