Reuben sandwich
Dawn R.

I haven't eaten at a McAllisters in years due to the price. But I was feeling like splurging for a lunch, so stopped in after buying something at the Merle Norman next door. I decided on a Reuben sandwich combo. I was disappointed they didn't offer fries since it was to go and they didn't seem to offer anything except chips that you can eat in the car. The gal was nice taking my order. The problem was the sandwich. I paid over $9 for the combo which did not include a drink. I'm not exaggerating when I say the meat that was supposed to be corned beef was the texture and seasoning of a flavored bologna. It was a corned beef wannabe. Nah, won't be back soon. In fact, the sandwich was so bad that's when it struck me I should take a photo and do this review.

Burnt the hell out of my sandwich, incompetent people can't even heat up a sandwich right

Hadn't been to a McAllister's in awhile! Food tasted great but had no wow factor!!!!! Paid $8.49 for a 6 inch sub? I feel my money could be better off spent somewhere else! Best subs ever still help ones to Penn station subs in my opinion!!!!!

the receipt for the restaurant

We have a home in FL and SC. We placed orders in both states. While in FL I placed an order on the app but for some reason it changed my location back to this one in SC. We didn't realize it until we went to pick up our order in FL. The FL location told us that we had to call that store to get our money back and then had to order again with them and pay them again. I called this SC location which sent me to a call center. The lady said she would call the SC location, cancel my order and get me a refund. She said that the order was canceled and that the refund would be back on my credit card within 10 days. We never received our refund. When we got back to SC we placed an order with this location. When my husband picked it up he spoke to Lee the manager and she asked if she could just give us two complimentary cards for a meal. That was fine since it would equal what we had already paid them. A week or so later my husband goes there to place the order in person. He called me to speak with the cashier since I normally place it through the app and he didn't know what we get. I told the girl (Elizabeth is listed ask Host on receipt) what we wanted and even asked her to repeat it back to me to make sure it was right. My husband comes home and tells me that it's a good thing he checked the order. He has to eat gluten free food so he gets the gluten free bread. Well they gave him NO bread. He went back in and asked where his bread was. They give him the order again. He checks it again and now they have given him someone else's sandwich. Then the person making the sandwich plays dumb like they didn't know it was suppose to be gluten free even though it says it on the order. They even asked him if it was a choice or allergy that he was asking for GF bread. He said allergy. We asked for (2) 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 sweet tea drinks with slices of lemons. I even verified with the girl that she had it correct and she said yes. I take a drink and it was horrible. They gave us 1/2 sweet tea and 1/2 unsweetened tea. They did at least remember the slice of lemon. The drinks went down the sink. I was going to do their feedback survey but it says my code as already been used which is weird. We should have just been given our refund as we were promised. Instead we paid for stuff that wasn't what we wanted or ordered. We really enjoy eating at McAllisters in FL and was happy to see they were in SC also. This kind of service saddens us and makes us not want to eat there any more. At least not at this location.

Forgot avacados.... and that's what I got

Don't come here!!! Should've looked at the stars on yelp before I came here. This place wasn't even busy!! The sandwich came out incorrect. I went back because they didn't put the "sliced" avacados on it. Well, a lady came back with the picture included. Enough said!!! Don't waste your money here. The management needs their head examined before this place goes out of business!! No quality control whatsoever.

We were the third person in the restaurant with at least 4 employees behind the counter and it still took 30 minutes for us to get our food. What we were presented with was two overcooked potatoes and soup that both looked and tasted like there was not enough water added to the mix. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was brown and thick. My mother ordered the bacon Spud that came with barely a whole strip of bacon. Our service was also very poor. We had to ask for refills, silverware, napkins, and chips for the soup. Overall, a very poor experience.

Never going back! Ripped me off again. Bacon, dried out scraps. Tomato, small  partial soggy slice  Gorgonzola? Where is it!??
Julie H.

This was suppose to be their Turkey Cobb Sandwich. A slimy shaving of a tomato. Two small crumbles of Gorgonzola, ??maybe. A few small shards of dried out bacon, and they didn't even bother to put ant avocado on it. Ripped off again. Never going back. So nasty did not even attempt to eat it. Straight to the trash. I'm tired of their poor quality. They should be ashamed.

Two very tiny pieces of avocado in a little plastic dressing cup. Should have been 6 to 7 slices of avocado as shown on the website.

Clean place. Decent food. They do have a nice outdoor patio area. I recommend the club wrap or the broccoli and cheddar soup.

We had such a great experience here! We came in during the last hour before closing (which always…read moremakes me a little nervous), but everything was still super fresh, came out quickly, and never felt rushed. Ashley was our server and she was amazing -- very attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. She really made the experience even better. We started with the pork belly skewers topped with ranch, BBQ, crushed cashews, and pickled red onions -- 10/10. Huge portion and packed with flavor. The balance of sweet, tangy, and crunchy was perfect. The chicken Caesar sandwich was sooo good. It's a massive sandwich with a crispy chicken cutlet topped with Caesar salad, pickled red onions, and chickpeas. Fair warning: it's a little hard to eat because of the size, but completely worth it. The dressing leans more vinegar-forward than creamy, which I personally loved. I'd honestly order it again just as a salad. The truffle parm fries were another 10/10 -- loaded with parmesan and full of flavor. The stout braised beef melt was amazing. Tons of meat and the flavors blended together perfectly. Definitely a standout. The pub chips with added Cajun seasoning were okay -- not bad, just nothing super special compared to everything else. As longtime fans of their previous food truck, we're so impressed with what they've grown into as a restaurant. It's clear they've kept the quality while elevating the whole experience. We'll absolutely be back!

came from Charlotte to try Elk Ave Tavern after seeing a TikTok food review claiming it had one of…read morethe "top five cheesesteaks," so I went in with pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed. I ordered the cheesesteak, which was the main reason for my visit, and it just didn't live up to the hype. The bread was soggy, the meat was very small diced instead of the ribeye-style cuts you'd expect from a good cheesesteak, and the cheese tasted more like Kraft than anything premium. Overall, it was very bland and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. For $18 and about a 20-minute drive, I honestly expected much more. On the positive side, the Brussels sprouts were amazing -- easily the standout item from my visit. They were flavorful and cooked really well. The fries were fine too, but fries are fries and it's hard to mess those up. The staff were very nice and attentive, and the food came out in about 10-15 minutes, which I appreciated. The restaurant itself is a small, quaint place located in downtown Rock Hill across from the public library. I didn't have trouble parking, but it was around 12:30 on a Wednesday and the lot and nearby street parking were both pretty full, so I could see it being tighter during busier times. I also noticed this location used to be called Sweet Tea back around 2020 when they served chicken and waffles, so it was interesting to see how the space has changed. The menu overall isn't very large, and since I mainly came for the cheesesteak and it didn't meet my expectations, I don't see myself returning. In my personal opinion, Cheat's Cheesesteak Parlor still has the best cheesesteak in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. I really wanted to love this place, but based on this visit, it just didn't deliver for me.

The restaurant is casual yet comfortable while the customer service is just as dynamic as their food. The staff was very welcoming, which heightened the experience. The SW BBQ Chicken Salad (Grilled chicken coated in their homemade BBQ sauce, served on a bed of salad mix with black beans, fried corn, and egg, sprinkled with spicy French fried onions) had fresh, crisp veggies, an excellent combination of flavors, but the star of the show was the BBQ chicken. The sauce on the chicken was irresistibly delicious. I loved the Build Your Own Burger (BYOB) option, which I loved because my burger was cooked to perfection MY WAY. The Egg Salad Sandwich (Fresh, homemade egg salad with your choice of bread) was enjoyable and nostalgic not only because of the fresh ingredients, but also because of the grilled sourdough bread. The egg salad did not have sweet relish, which is how I am used to eating it, but it did not impact the taste.
