First of all check your bag before you leave if you get take out. Initially, we didn't get two of the five items we ordered. One of them was coffee. When it was noticed they asked if we wanted to wait while they made it. The manager was nice and helped get everything sorted rather quickly. The food itself was very good but could use a little improvement. The coffee of course was fresh brewed. The club wrap was very good. My chicken salad sandwich bread was stale but chicken salad was very good though. The fruit salad was more like the scraps. I would have tossed it in the garbage than have served it. read more

I really enjoyed the potato and salad from here. I had never had McAlister's but it was pretty good. I would get something from here again for sure. read more

I sat in that restaurant for 20 minutes waiting on my food and never received it then after receiving no refund just a nasty look and no apology when I told them I had to leave or I would be late for work I would never recommend this place to anyone ever read more

Hostess Tania was oblivious Acting after she gave my table away to a family that I HAD RESERVED for a month for me and my husband and kid.

This place is getting worse and worse. Just tried to pick up a to go order and was waiting for almost 5 minutes, not an issue at that point. Someone else walks up and the guy at the counter turns to help him then turns his back to me and never turned to see what I needed. I am officially done with this place read more

This establishment was clean, very friendly, and has good quality meals. Our party was warmly greeted, and promptly tended on a busy lunch day. The floors and tables were clean. Several employees were seen tending to the dining area along with a supervisor. The food was satisfying to the eyes and taste. I'd certainly return to this restaurant. read more

My experiences with McAlisters have always been hit or miss and I've always been really patient and understanding with issues, but in the past several months, this location has taken a serious nosedive. It's safe to say I'm a regular, I order pick up 3-4 times a week, and there are a lot of things I like about this restaurant. The menu has a large selection of sandwiches, soups, salads and sweets, the company has a decent rewards program, and the dining area is generally clean and comfortable. With that said, these conditions do not make up for the consistently poor customer service and the numerous order errors / food allergen issues. I've lost track of how many times my order has been made incorrectly, packaged poorly or taken an excessively long period of time to be prepared; (and it's important to note none of these issues have occurred when at lunchtime when the restaurant is busy.) In the past month alone, I've been given someone else's order three times, I've been overcharged (and offered meal voucher cards rather than a refund,) had my sandwich cut with a dirty knife ( which happened to be covered in an ingredient I'm allergic to,) and I've waited 20 mins to be given my order because the person who answered the phone " forgot" to tell the curbside delivery person I had arrived. I've also been forced to pay for another order of soup when the curbside delivery person failed to put the lid on correctly and soup spilled inside the bag. I'm not a confrontational person and generally, I will bring up an issue politely each time it happens- but once I see a pattern, I simply go elsewhere. The fact that I've returned over and over should be a testament to how much I want this restaurant to work its issues out. I think the root cause of these issues is poor employee morale. I've heard the older short haired manager (I think her name is Theresa? ) berate employees in front of customers on many occasions and she consistently exudes a negative vibe. My most recent interaction with her made wonder if I should ask her if she was okay- because I genuinely thought something must be wrong because she was being so overtly rude. I stopped by during the slow period of time between lunch and dinner ( when most restaurants are dead,) for a curbside pick up of a sandwich and a tea. When when I realized that I was mistakenly given the wrong drink, I walked inside to request a replacement. Theresa busied herself by organizing chips and refilling cups and made eye contact several times without acknowledging my presence. Eventually, I spoke up and asked for a drink, to which she walked to the back room and yelled for someone to come to "take care of me." If she can't be bothered to help guests, what kind of example is she setting for her staff? Bottom Line: McAlister's has decent food and terrible service. Pooler parkway has a ton of other sandwich shops with better service and less issues. read more

I made a catering order for a company lunch - days in advance I'd like to add. I'll start off with what sandwich I had was good. However, with spending close to $500 I would have expected a little better service. I'll start with delivery, which I paid for, plus a tip. You would assume it would be delivered to my office (there is an elevator), but no the delivery driver called and said do you have a cart or something there's a lot of stuff. So actually, I delivered it to my office - they just drove it there. I ordered their Halloween Holiday Cookie Tray (for $26.99), which had nothing to do with Halloween and actually looked like slice and bake cookies from the grocery store - again they charged $26.99. I also requested pickles be included - not one pickle. Plus, not one napkin. Really if they are offering catering, they need to provide better all-around service. read more

Great food and service! Stopped by when I was in town on business. Always try to stop a McAlister's if I can.

Not what it used to be. Older lady at front ignores everyone, creating a line that didn't have to happen. Young guy wasn't much better. Both as though we were bothering them for being there. Bad for business. What a pity! read more

This place is completely dead, and it took 20 minutes to get one sandwich to go, while all the employees are just standing around doing nothing. They didn't even acknowledge the delay. Poor customer service. Oh, and the actual sandwich? A big hunk of meat in the middle, all bread on the outsides, and literally half an avocado plunked down in between - not even sliced. I don't know if it's possible to give less of a s--- than these employees do. read more

Came in to grab dinner for myself with my mom. When we entered the restaurant I quickly noticed how clean the tables were and how calm the environment was. As I walked up to the register to look at the menu it took about 10 minutes for an associate to come speak to me and my mother. When the young lady spoke to me she pretty much stared while I looked through the menu. I ended ordering the pick two The Veggie sandwich and the Grilled Chicken Spud. I also grabbed a Oatmeal Raisin Cookie with Walnuts. The Veggie sandwich was amazing it had balsamic onions and an avocado mayo! Those two ingredients made the entire sandwich. The Grilled Chicken Spud was lack luster. The ingredients sat on top of the potato and lacked deep flavor. On the other hand, the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie was a great end to this meal. Overall this restaurant deserves a B. The Veggie sandwich is tasty, the cookies are large and filling, and the store's appearance was well kept. Pitfalls, service was slow and lacked friendliness and the Spuds can use more flavoring (the restaurant should consider making their spuds into mashed potatoes then mixing in the toppings). read more

I ordered the Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich with a side of steamed broccoli, which was very fresh and cooked perfectly. Everything was great right down to the pickle! The chicken in my sandwich was mouthwateringly tender and the chipotle mayo was wonderful. I left very full and could have afforded to take the second half of my sandwich home for later. Also, their bathroom was very clean. Always a bonus! I will be back to try their salads and other sides in the near future! My meal alone (with a water) was around $10! read more

McAlister's Deli - Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich & Steamed Broccoli - Side - Salad Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

The vegetarian chili tasted funny. I had the Pick 2 and was still hungry...meaning the portions are small

Went in on 8/27/2023 at 8:30PM with my gf. Noticed the manager being kinda rude to the group in front of us (saying too much, not minding her business). She informed us that they were out of salads and potatoes but that was fine because we wanted sandwiches. She asked us if it was for dine in or to go. We said for dine in. We got our food in a to go bag but ignoring this we sat down and ate. At 8:52 a customer came in and asked if they were closed and the manager said yes they were closed. You are open until 9. Meanwhile we got done eating at 8:55. I got up and went to the bathroom. An employee was mopping in the area before the bathroom in which case I said excuse me may I use the bathroom and he said yes, I then said sorry for walking on the wet floor. My gf informed me later that the manager and the employee were talking bad about me, something like "couldn't he see that you were mopping". The place closes at nine. That does not mean you as an employee go home at 9. Get a new job if you can't handle the food industry. People are so sad these days. Last time we were at this same location (sometime this same year) there was a physical fight that broke out between two employees and the cops were called. I will never eat at this location again and I would recommend the same to anyone looking to go out and eat spending their money. This place is pathetic. read more

Absolute worst experience i've ever had at this McAlisters. This dude got my order wrong and gave it to a different table then TRIED TO HAND IT TO ME STRAIGHT FROM THE OTHER TABLE. After I had to ask him if it came from the other table he goes "yeah but they didn't touch it, do you still want me to remake it?". Other sandwhich also had to be remade because it was touched. Like DUH I don't want the food off of the table behind me. Bring back the woman with the cat ears. At least she could run the restaurant. sat in there for an hour and a half trying to get two sandwhiches. read more

ordered online, food was ready on arrival but the service was bad. The 3 young customer service guys having a private conversation before get noticed.Then their was no cheese on my husbands nachos. read more

One thing I find here is consistency. This is important to me when I can plan on having a constantly excellent lunch. You owe it to yourself to have one meal here, btw the French dip is my favorite last five times this is what I've ordered. Cheers fellow yelpers. read more

Used McAllister to cater a luncheon and was quite pleased. Very easy to place catering order online, was able to make changes after placing the order. Thorough communication throughout the process from placing order until delivery which was on time. Quality of food was excellent, and the price was right as well. Will definitely order again. read more

I am not normally a McAllister's fan as they are expensive. But they have a variety of options including gluten free bread, two types of lemonade, etc and they have very big sandwiches, polite and helpful staff. Best part of this experience is there were so many restaurants closed or closing in the next five minutes as it was right after the hurricane. And McAllisters was like a dream walking in ... no signs of a hurricane hitting here... all quiet and helpful staff. Yay! read more

I give 2 stars because of the customer service we received today. We are not from the area, it was our first time in a McAlister's so was not sure what to order. Host's name on receipt says Teresa. She was not friendly, very annoyed because we took awhile, meanwhile it was not that busy at 11:25. When our order was up, they completely forgot my salad. Paid for it, just never made it. Food was good but service sucked and in establishments like this customer service is HUGE!! read more

This is a go to for our corporate lunches. The platters are a hit, with a nice variety, large portions, and decent prices. Have also done salads and soups with success. Recommend! read more

I would like to have rated this place a little higher because the girl who took my order was super sweet and really tried. Picked up veggie sandwich without the cheese and ranch, to go. When you take the cheese off the sandwich, it can be a little dry to I asked for options such as avocado or pesto. The had guacamole and she subbed that in. When I got back to hotel room, found they forgot the guac. Additionally, the pita bread seemed very low quality, took away from the sandwich. It was cheap at around 8 bucks. read more

The Choose 2 is the way to go! My favorite combination is the half French dip sandwich and the half Savannah chopped salad. Be sure to treat yourself with a tasty sweet tea too. Quite satisfying. read more

Food is excellent, service was great, my only issue was the urinal. It was as if it were designed to spit my piss straight back at my shins. Pissy shins are the only thing that holds this place back from excellence. read more

We got our food and it was messed up the wrappers to everything were dirty you couldn't touch them. We asked for no pickle for my sister has an allergy to them and they still put it in the order. The Mac and cheese was over cooked and the subs were put together very unwell. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. From sweet tea to salad to sandwiches, everything is amazing. This place has never disappointed me. The sweet tea is amazing and has perfect taste- not too sweet. I love getting the Savannah Chopped salad, which is a perfect portion for lunch and has a good amount of chicken in it unlike other places who fail to put enough amount of meat in their salads. They have Pick 2 option for lunch, where you can pick two different things. For example, half a sandwich and a salad or two different kinds of half sandwiches. Also, if you sign up for their mailing list online, you get a FREE cookie. A little pricey but I still don't mind going there because they have the best salads around. read more

McAlister's Deli - Seasonal Turkey Cranberry salad - Salad Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Off the beaten path in Pooler, GA. Not sure how far north they extend, but a nice change of pace from other food. The wife and I split a grilled chicken spud with added jalapenos and the Southwest Turkey Melt. Food came out pretty quickly. The only reason for four stars instead of five was a) potato could've been hotter, and b) the sandwich could've been a bit bigger for the price. Going through GA? Check 'em out. We'll be back if we go that way again. read more

I have celiac disease and cannot have gluten nor lactose. While I was explaining it to the cashier, Bobby, he patiently waited for me to finish then got the manager, Michael. Michael pulled me into the office, confirmed my allergies and what I couldn't eat, and printed me out a special menu of everything I can eat. Both cashiers, Taylor and Bobby, patiently waited for my friend, Vanesa and I to throughly read the menu and decide what we wanted to eat. Everyone was so patient, kind, and attending to us. There aren't too many places that are considerate to my illness, but to go above and beyond like Michael, Bobby, and Taylor did...OUTSTANDING!!!! Thank you so much McAlister's!!! To top it all off, the restaurant was spotless from the outside of the building to all over the store. Not even a piece of paper was on the floor nor table! JOB WELL DONE!! read more

Whoever made the cookies for October 9, 2020 deserves a RAISE!!!! Those were the best cookies ever. Delicious.

Perhaps I caught them on an off day, but the staff was slow, the beef on the sandwich was full of gristle, and they got my order wrong when food was finally delivered (45 minutes after first walking in). It wasn't worth mentioning as I just needed to eat and go at that point. read more

First time having this food and it was delicious! And their hospitality was awesome. Cashier was a sweet heart! We are visiting from NYC and I will definitely come back again read more

Best sandwich's in Pooler, friendly staff. Amidst a coronavirus outbreak they are still open and a reminder of the good ol'times. They are hiring too, I may have to apply just for the employee discount. read more

Love Mc Alisters, but waited over 30 minutes for a wrap. should not take that long for a sandwich.

Had lunch here. Staff was friendly. Service was fast. Ordered the italian sub and it was delicious. It met all the requirements of being a solid deli. read more

Second time and and had the roast beef, cheddar and horseradish sauce sandwich. My buddy had the same. They need to do something to make it more palatable. The cheese was overcooked and there was very little horseradish taste in the sauce. Same as last time the place is clean, plenty of seating and the service is fast and friendly. read more

Well, this place was ok. We stopped in for lunch on our road trip to have something better than fast food. It had been a long time since I'd been to a McAlister's. Location was ok, around a lot of other dining and shopping options and a Starbucks next door. The inside had plenty of seating and seemed clean. I had the New Yorker (think Cuban) and it was good. Decent portion and quality. I had the side of mac and cheese which wasn't great and wouldn't recommend. Overall it's a fine place but not a must-visit kind of place. read more
