This is a good McAlister's location. I was traveling through Salina Kansas and decided to try this McAlister's location for lunch. The staff was extremely friendly and prompt, and the food met my expectations. I ordered The New Yorker Sandwich (Corned beef, pastrami, Swiss and spicy brown mustard on marbled rye) with chips, my meal was delicious. I highly recommend this McAlister's location. read more

I NEVER leave reviews -- I generally feel they're a waste of time. BUT I had to come here to say that this McAlister's Deli is just perfect in every way. My family is heading north on a 10 hour journey during a snow storm (with a toddler), and upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted by an associate who quickly grabbed us a high chair without asking, and got us settled in a booth, unhurriedly (not being hurried is nice when you have a toddler). Our food was quickly delivered to us and it was SO good. The establishment was super clean and we weren't too concerned about our toddler crawling around on the floor. It was a really wonderful quick stop to split up our long journey, and we highly recommend this McAlisters if you live in Salina or if it's a stop for you on your own road trip. read more

Room for improvement regarding the food prep. While I did find my food was over-cooked, I did speak to someone about it and it was immediately rectified. I would give the full 5 star, but having to drive back for something that should have been done right the first time, is what brought it down. The manager was super friendly and quick to respond and correct it. So they've redeemed themselves there. Excellent soup! read more

He was very helpful and apologized and offered to refund me and he took my address and said he would send a gift certificate and again apologized. We hung up and I was okay. I waited a week and didn't get a refund or a certificate. I emailed the "complaint department " and got no response from them.

The places food is really good and it looks so nice and clean in there. The only problem I have is how rude one of the managers would talk to one employee. If I was in the employee's position I would've retaliated negatively. Props to her. I definitely think that they need to work with that one manager I don't know her name but she was unreasonably rude for someone who works in the customer service industry. Overall outside of that experience, it was great! read more

After looking around a bit, we chose our food items, grabbed some drinks and a charger. The cashier scanned our items on the other side of the plexiglass, we paid and left for the truck. Then we found out we had the wrong charger so my husband went back in. The cashier had no clue how to do returns so my husband went to get the right charger and told him to subtract the price of the other charger. I'm guessing this cashier was new...it didn't look like he had help. My husband came back to the truck with the correct charger but forgot to get cigarettes. So a third time in the store then we were done and ready to get back on the right. The service is good here, they just need to train the employees better before leaving them in the store alone.

I also noticed that during the peak Saturday hours they stationed 2 associates at the end of an aisle pretty well spread apart in the main track. These guys were just standing there greeting customers and making sure they didn't need any help! They didn't seem to have any other task to do other than customer service. I see different Walmart stores every week and I have never seen one do this, and I think it shows that the management here really values service, and I could see that the overall store morale was great. It was a Saturday and there were ALOT of people milling about in droves with no apparent sense of urgency. Which I generally love, because it makes Walmart on Saturday an excellent place for people watching!
