    Chose 2: Half Garden Fresh Turkey & Half Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Bob J.

    Their prices are a bit absurd, but the food quality is great! The Garden Fresh Turkey is a favorite! Don't get the pick 2 tho... it's not worth the price. I also didn't love that they still had the fall menu up, but when I went to order it I was told that they don't serve it anymore. McAlister's has always been a favorite but there are better locations.

    Its a drive for us but occasionally we need their spicy chicken tortilla soup and a gallon of their sweet yummy tea! I wish we had a McAlisters in Cumming! Always great service and they have a good amount of different items on the menu - several soups, tons of sandwich options, baked potatoes and misc appetizers. Oh and i even tried the new Cinnabon cheesecake! Yes, you heard me right....Cinnabon on the bottom and cheesecake on top! Very decadent, definitely for folks that love sweet treats!

    One of those places that you go months without visiting and then when you do, you always wonder why you stayed away so long. Of course the signature tea is still one of the best reasons to visit. We had the Roast Beef and cheese sandwich with potato salad; sandwich was a bit small but very good, potato salad, meh. Had that sweet taste that tends to permeate "ordered" v. homemade. We also ordered the Reuben. Old stand-by. Big sandwich and tasty, but had that error that you see a lot in places that keep their corned beef in water - the bottom slice of rye was completely soaked. Back home in NY this is literally treasonous, but you do run into it sometimes here in our new southern home.

    Monae my server was truly awesome!

They needed to clean the booth, so we waited, but when we were taken to our seats, one side of the booth still had cocktail stirrers on the seat. (Likely 4 smaller people would have been able to squeeze into that booth, but knowing we had 3 larger adults in our party of 5, I asked if we could move to a table.) Moving to the open table required a manager's override. Very thankfully, a waiter asked if we'd been helped, when he noticed us standing near the hostess stand, and explained that a manager needed to make the change to a table with chairs. (The hostess did not explain that to us.) The waitress at our table was polite to us and provided excellent service, but it was clear she was trying to rush us along. I ordered the almond encrusted trout, which was okay, but the mashed sweet potatoes were served cold. (Maybe it was wrong of me to assume they would be served warm, as I have had sweet potato salad at a Korean restaurant that was served cold, but seeing that my husband's mashed potatoes were steaming hot, it was another disappointment.). When we told them that we were there for my husband's birthday, they did comp us the cost of a dessert and put a lit candle in the desert for us. However, the overall experience and food were just okay, not great, as we had hoped.

Valet parking directly in back which is a basic requirement for me in this area. Seated on time for a reservation made through Open Table. A little tight inside because these converted homes are limited in space, so you have to wind between tables to get to yours. Not a big deal for us since they seated us in a back room near the bar, which meant there was a little less traffic by our table when we were seated. Two large tables of rowdy groups made for a louder vibe than anticipated, but once they left, it was much less noisy in the small space. They do have outdoor seating but the weather was iffy so I opted for inside. Started with some Gouda fritters. Dinner was fish tacos and the burratta chicken sandwich. Topped off the meal with a yummy slice of carrot cake. Everything was delicious! Service was solid and friendly. Will definitely be back!

They have a place u can put your feet on.. love that. We were promptly greeted and took our drink orders and recommendations for food. Drinks were good. Definitely a good balance. We had the sliders for an appetizer and the risotto balls. The sliders were on the special menu and they were so good. They came out very fresh and hot whereas our entrées took a little bit to come out and this was a little like lukewarm. Overall, the food was good I would just recommend more sauce on the sandwiches. I did feel like after the appetizers came out that the service did go down a little, but the manager did come out and talk to us to see things were. He was very friendly easy to talk to and open to our recommendations. One thing to note is there is very limited parking around here, but they do offer valet that is included if you eat there.

    In our area, it seems like this cuisine is having it's moment. First off, i've come to find that…read moremediterranean food is a big umbrella. After speaking with the staff, i believe Mashawi is more specifically palestinian. The concept of this place is what sets it apart. They make it easy for the new comer or the veteran by telling you that there is nothing to order, you just enjoy. Right out of the gate, the side dishes and salads are presented like you are at a wedding feast. It is family style so you have to be quick if you want first dibs on the babaganoush or the hummus, and especially the Falafel (best i have ever had). Don't worry if you are slow to the draw because they will refill all sides and salads. The hardest part abotu Mashawi is having self conctrol because what comes next is a parade of seasoned meats and proteins that only get better. Reccomend the Steak, Kifta, and shrimp and Salmon. I have only been for dinner and at the end of this glorious meat train, they will ask if you would like more! It's a great family experience, or a night out with other friends. If you are wanting to introduce this cuisine to rookies, this place is perfect because there is no pressure to choose the right item. There plenty of choices for everyone to find something to eat. My last piece of advice would be to wait to order the Mint Drink at the end as a paltte clenser. They tempt you with a taste at first, but waiting till the end is the perfect punctuation to a unique and unforgettable meal.

    We tried Mashawi for the first time and thought the concept was interesting -- different Middle…read moreEastern meats are brought directly to the table, somewhat similar to a Brazilian steakhouse experience. At $45.99 per adult, it is less expensive than Fogo de Chão, so I wouldn't expect the same level of meat quality. We tried quite a few of the meats, and while everything was fine, we found the quality, texture, and flavor fairly average. The portions brought to the table were also surprisingly small -- for example, two shrimp and a very small piece of salmon at a time. Since it is all-you-can-eat, you can ask for more, but overall the experience didn't feel particularly generous. The most unusual part of our experience was the mansaf. It is listed as part of the all-inclusive menu, and since none of us had ever tried it, we specifically asked for it. The gentleman serving us strongly discouraged us from ordering it, explaining that mansaf is very heavy and that usually Jordanian customers come specifically for it. Later, when we asked again, he told us that since we were already full, there was really no need to order it. He did say he would bring it if we really wanted it, but after being discouraged multiple times, it felt awkward to insist, so we ultimately didn't try it. We understand that mansaf comes as a large dish and that he may simply have been trying to prevent food waste, which is understandable. At the same time, since it is specifically listed as an included item, we were surprised to be so strongly discouraged from ordering it. We were genuinely interested in trying a traditional Jordanian dish, not simply ordering more food because it was included. Overall, the concept is interesting and the price is reasonable for an all-you-can-eat meal. It is also fair to keep the lower price point in mind when comparing it with places like Fogo. But between the average meat quality, small portions, and the awkward experience around ordering the mansaf, we probably won't return.

Got our table immediately after opting for the valet outside. Once we sat down we ordered some drinks and then of course had to get the corn bread and chicken salad croquets. The bread was delish with the honey butter but the croquettes were such a fun combination and delish! And of course if you come here you have to get the fried chicken and it's definitely plenty for 2 people and the kitchen split it for us which was great. The chicken was juicy and so flavorful and we got the potato salad which was delish. They brought us a small version of the banana pudding as well for the birthday which was so fun and I don't like banana pudding but this one was pretty yummy. Delish!

There's a lot to cover here so we'll just dive right in. Upon arriving it's a very cute space very welcoming very homie. It really feels inviting somewhere where you want to hang out. Upon arriving, we had a reservation. The host was very friendly. We were immediately seated. Overall, during the experience, the service was great, the server was very friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. We went with the three course Fixed menu as it seemed like a great deal. We ordered the mango habanero meatballs, the hogs in quilts, the fried chicken, the macaroni, field peas, and banana pudding. The meatballs were absolutely delicious. I mean, extremely tender, flavorful, very well balanced soft. I mean, honestly I could just see the whole pot of these meatballs.. There's nothing to change about them. They were literally perfect in every aspect. And steaming hot. Next was the hogs in quilts. Am I mind I'm thinking kinda like this southern pulled pork sandwich situation and a crêpe. Well that is kind of what it was. I didn't expect it to be cold. I thought this would be a hot dish and it didn't specify on the menu that it was not a hot dish. I don't know if that was just an error on the menu side or an error on the preparation side. Either way, this is a very much less desirable dish after having such delicious hot meatballs. Add this dish came out hot. It probably would've been better, but considering it was cold and the crêpe or quilt was so soggy even though the sauce was on the side, just was not an enjoyable item. Then comes the fried chicken! I have to say it was significantly more than I expected. I expected maybe a quarter chicken but you actually get a whole half of chicken as the Entree. The chicken came out hot, very crispy skin, and juicy meat. There was a little flakes sought on top, but overall, I would say the chicken itself laced seasoning. Again, everything else on it was pretty solid. It just needed some salt and seasoning into it to really take it to that next level. The macaroni was pretty much macaroni. Not too much wow factor behind it pretty standard. It came out hot though wasn't anything super impressive. Now the field peas. That was kind of one of the items I was super excited about but again, maybe I misread the menu. I guess I had the expectation of almost like a hot fall bean dish or something like that but again it came out refrigerator cold. I didn't notice anywhere on the menu where that said it was a cold this nor was it mentioned at the time of ordering that that was a cold dish. With that said the peas were also pretty too some, and if I was to order the dishes I would definitely try to request that it was served hot and again, just a little bit of extra salt. Now off to the dessert. The banana pudding! This is another item. I was super excited about. The overall presentation was nice, The pudding itself was tasty, and the banana on top was perfect. That's kind of where the positive stops here. The banana they used inside the dish was so unripe that it tasted like a little rock inside. It was almost like they used a piece of plantain that was still green. It really kind of ruined the whole dish You know it's really sad because the things here that were great were really great but the things that were bad were really bad. I think the atmosphere is wonderful. I think the service was decent. I just think there's some clarity that should be made and just for a personal preference minor tweaks that could really send this over the top. Maybe the time they took off during the remodel had things a little bumpy on their first Monday night back. I feel like there's way more potential to this place than what I experienced. we asked for a box to take the remaining chicken and the not even half eating sides home and she took it inside to box it for us. Get home. NO SIDES, JUST CHICKEN
