    Usually really good, for the most part this is as usual with the exception of the bread for my king club sandwich, little burnt! I am not a bread connoisseur, but this looks a little burnt (see photo). Good meat, great sandwich (usually), but very let down they would even service this. It was a carry out order, if I was eating in, definitely would send back for a do over. Wife got the soup and spud combo, soup good (broccoli cheddar) and spud ok except it had a bit of fat in the roast beef, so most ended up in trash. Need to be a little more picky about what they put on their spuds.

    I was very impressed with this deli! This was my first time eating at a McAlister's, and I really enjoyed it! The staff at this location were very friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious! They had social distancing in place, with tables being marked. They were constantly cleaning, as the place was very clean inside! I would definitely come back :)

    Better than similar options like Panera. No tipping and good food. Better than average atmosphere.

    The salad was crisp and very tasty. The saying and counter are not welcoming. The staff are nice but not friendly.

    French dip is very small for the price. Chili was disgusting and inedible. I will never order from them again.

It took a bit from there, but we definitely arrived at a weird time, so that's not a negative. We ordered the cauliflower nugs and edamame as apps and both were spot on. The flavors were great! Loved the sauces and texture of the cauliflower (literally cooked perfectly - crispy but definitely cooked without being mushy - if you order cauliflower you know that I mean here!). The hot honey chicken sandwich was HUGE. The smashburger was delicious. And, the Brussels and fries were perfect sides. This place is legit. The venue is not big, but it's inviting to a trendy crowd. If you need 5 star elegance - skip it. But, if you want great flavors and perfectly cooked food in a fun atmosphere- check this out! Worth it!

This is the cutest little gem tucked away at the end of a strip mall. The second you walk in, you're greeted by a fun poppy mural and a display of all the delicious pastries of the day. Immediately I'm like, okay, I'm going to like it here! We had about a 20-minute wait, but thankfully there was plenty of time for mimosas and catch up chitchat! And honestly, the time flew by... we weren't even finished with them before we were seated. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was on point from there. Someone filled our water glasses almost immediately after we sat down, and we never had a dry cup. Mimosa refills were quick, too! I also grabbed a chai latte that came in the cutest old-school homemade-looking cup and was perfectly warm and spiced. Soooo good! For food, two of us ordered the Fresh Pick Sandwich with fresh tomatoes, stracciatella, kale pesto aioli, arugula, fresh basil and balsamic glaze on perfectly toasted sourdough. I added avocado and bacon and basically turned it into the most deliciously elevated BLT of my life. I also made a pro side swap for my side and went with the cheesy grits. They were delicious. No notes! My friend got the Fresh Pick without tomatoes and added prosciutto, and another friend ordered The Grit with shrimp, and that plate was BEAUTIFUL. Sweet pepper and tomato sauce, mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula and an egg over a plate of grits. Between us, there were clean plates, full bellies and a whole lot of "what are we trying next time?" conversations happening. The food came out quickly, the service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and it was just an all-around excellent brunch. My only complaints? 1-Why do they have the cutest pastry merch for kids but not adults... I need that "I'm flaky" croissant shirt lol! And 2-Why is this little gem not closer to me?! But clearly that just means I need to make the drive again. Poppyseed Kitchen has officially been added to the "worth the trip" list!

    Wife and I went for lunch. Excellent menu, good service, clean tables and floors and the dishes we…read moreordered were excellent. A rather stark, high-ceiling open floor plan with superb air conditioning. Bring a wrap as it does get chilly. Plates, bowls, sandwiches and salads, along with a kid's menu and miscellaneous snacky items. Prices range from $13 to $18. Decent portions. I had the The Bisquit and Gravy ($12) after asking for a sample taste of their gravy. I have had horrible biscuit and gravy dishes in many places where the gravy was just cooked flowered grease. Not at Poppyseed! It was excellent, flavorful and if you ask for more, you will get it. I did. Wife agreed on the gravy. Wife had the Poppyseed Salad ($12) which was so loaded with cucumbers that annoyed her. Very little lettuce, but lots of other hard veggies. She was not happy. My second choice that lunch day was listed as The Ranch Hash ($18). A fellow diner across from us ordered this hash and said he loved it. It did look good with braised brisket, potato hash and two eggs to order. A very fine portion and will be my order when we return. Parking galore. You will need to turn right when you exit on to Tom Hall Street, unless you get a lucky traffic gap. We will be back, for sure.

We started with the Smoked Maple Old Fashioned and Pineapple Express--they have such a great cocktail menu!

My husband ordered the Grit Bowl with creamy pimento cheese, pulled pork, an over-easy egg, and spicy mayo. Talk about comfort food done right! My girlfriend got the Burger, and it was amazing! The combination of pimento cheese and bacon jam was SO good. I went with the Biscuit Bake--creamy sausage gravy, aged cheddar, bacon, and an over-easy egg. Another totally drool-worthy bite!

The beer on tap was all good, local brews, and just happened to be $5 per draft on Thursdays! I got the original burger, because it was national burger day. Overall, good flavor and execution (except maybe a little salty). I ordered the sweet potato fries on the side and was disappointed when they came out covered in cinnamon and sugar. This was not mentioned on the menu or anywhere else. Had I known, I would have requested them to come without it.

This time, I was happy to see that their menu has changed. Not extensive by any means, but a bit larger than the one I saw on my first visit. The menu also included the Hot Honey Pizza! So I ordered this...and my husband ordered the Caesar Chicken Sando w/ Brussels Sprouts. We shared the foods...and surprisingly, I loved the taste of the Chicken Sando that my husband ordered! Maybe even more than the pizza? The pizza was good though...with a very generous load of crispy pepperoni. It was also enough to feed 2. If I recall, I thought the foods were way too greasy my first time around. This time, it wasn't that bad. I also enjoyed their Mango cocktail. A bit small in portion, but strong and tasty! Service was good too. Despite how busy it was, our waitress did a fine job attending to us. Just as I thought last time, the decor was very cozy...and truly retro, in the most authentic way. I just wished there was some music overhead...that would have really completed the ambiance. In any case, this experience was MUCH better than the last...so here's my review upgrade!
