    McAlister's Club
    Larry S.

    I visited McAlister's Deli around 7:30 PM on a Saturday and was the only person dining in, though there were several carry-out and food delivery orders during my time there. I ordered the McAlister's Club sandwich and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup, along with an iced tea. The soup was hot but fairly average, which was about what I expected. The sandwich had a generous amount of turkey and ham, but it was a little disappointing to only find one slice of bacon. The restaurant was clean, and overall, the experience was decent for a quick, casual meal.

    Food was good. Staff was friendly. Great tea. Some dishes/trash on a few tables but it didn't really bother me, just an observation. I got I believe the McAlister Club and the Italian. Both were good. Fresh and good ingredients. Side of mac was good as well. Firm pasta which I like. Not a mushy mess. Overall good. I'll be back.

    Their club sandwich is seriously delicious

    We ordered their club sandwich, tortilla soup, Turkey sandwich and chicken and dumpling. Everything was made to perfection. Their colossal carrot cake is addictive. Let's not forget the service today. It was fast, very friendly and the young man fixing our food in the back, got all the details right. We will definitely be back to this location.

    Empty!

    This used to be our favorite spot for sandwiches and tea, but I have to say, the place has steadily gone down. So today, not a single person came by to ask if we would like more tea...and there's no one in here at 7:44 PM. The sandwiches were mostly bread, so that was disappointing.

    Spicy Southwest Chicken you choose 2 with chicken Cesar salad

    It was my first time ever at McAllister's and I loved it! Ebony took my order and she gave me recommendations of what's good and what to try! I love loved my sandwich. It tasted so fresh and yummy! I had the spicy southwest chipotle sandwich and a Cesar salad! I loved everything.

    Tired of all the greasy fast food and really wanted to get reacquainted with McAlister's Deli so We made the trip to the nearest one from us at SH 151 and 410 (Westover Hills). We went inside only a customer in front of us and took a look at the menu while we waited our turn. I ordered the pick 2 in which I chose McAlister's Club no honey mustard and tomatoes and my wife ordered the spicy turkey melt no tomatoes, a bit more expensive since I last remembered at $8.49 without the famous sweet tea. Our order came out fairly quickly, employees are friendly and accurately which I give four stars only due to the fact that all the tables available were dirty, otherwise might make another stop here in the future.

    9 grain ciabatta with tri colored peppers, turkey, swiss, and their AMAZING honey mustard.

    I get a craft a sandwhich twice a week. Quality ingredients, good service, and a simple environment. Very unique variety of sandwiches and flavors, not like your average sandwhich shop. The staff here is awesome too.

    Place was clean, food was good. Not sure why lunch was $40.01 but daughter treated me to lunch so she got the receipt. Would go again.

They serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wings, dogs, desserts, and meals include either a side of tots, fries, cucumbers with chamoy and lucas, or corn in a cup. Other sides are available as well. This trip since we craved for burgers, ordered: Bistro burger- wonderfully seasoned and cooked, served on sourdough, with avocado, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo. One thing that should be added, the works, I felt it would be even better with the addition of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. I ordered the cucumbers sans chamoy and lucas. I appreciate simple veggies. Mexican burger- excellent! Juicy burger with cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, bacon and the works. The tater tots had a nice and crispy outer texture as it should. Overall- very good. Tasty, reasonable, clean, and great service. We'll have to make sure to come back sooner!

We were seated after about 10 minutes and our server greeted us almost immediately. She was super friendly and was not at all shy about sharing her recommendations. Fortunately, they were pretty spot on. By the time I ordered the breakfast, I already had a cup of hot coffee in front of me. The coffee was stronger than I like, so I only had one cup. My "go-to" meal at a comfort food place like this is more times than not the pork chops and eggs. Unfortunately, they weren't on the menu so I went with the NY Strip and eggs plate. It came with country style potatoes, and choice of bread. I will admit, I was happy to see that the plate came with three eggs, not just two, like most places. The steak looked a little overdone but was cooked to my order and well seasoned. Also, the eggs were made perfectly over-easy... no complaints. The POTATOES were the surprise on the plate, though. They looked a little mushy on the plate at first glance, but were certainly not. They were seasoned well and tasted even better! I ordered the biscuits as my bread choice, but was beyond full by the time I even thought about them again. Overall, it was a nice first visit. I was neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed, honestly. While there seems to me they could improve the presentation on the plate, the food tasted good... but if the POTATOES are the thing you remember... there's gotta be something missing. I'll be back, but probably not driving 30 minutes out of my way to do so either.

We had the honor of speaking with the owner and she is so grounded and sweet. We've been here multiple times and the work speaks for itself.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend. I didn't see any there to make a reservation online,…read moreso we just walked in. This was actually my second attempt at coming because the wait was astronomical the first time. This time, we were told the wait would be around 20 minutes but it ended up only being 8 minutes. All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. My friend and I ate family stye, which I strongly recommend for this place because you have to try as many dishes as possible. We started with lemon drop mimosas. I honestly didn't expect much but THEY WERE SO GOOD. They really tasted like the perfect blend between a lemon drop martini and a mimosa. I wish everywhere sold them because now I think I've found my new go to beverage. Now this place is called flavor rich for a reason. That crawfish and cheese was indeed Flavor Rich! It was well seasoned but not overpowering. There was crawfish in every bite. And do you see the portion size??? The shrimp and grits were 'very demure'. I've never seen this dish look so dainty. Almost too cute to eat.. almost. Taste wise, this wasn't really the star of the show but still very good if you like to keep things simple. Now when the strawberry shortcake French toast arrived my eyes got almost as big as that Mac and cheese plate. I've never seen such an incredible display of a simple dish in my life. It was topped with fresh strawberries, cake pieces, whipped cream, and toasted marshmallows. It literally looks like something you only see on IG but no this is the real deal. We originally ordered the sampler, but were sold out. I'm actually glad that happened because we were only able to eat half a toast each. It was so decadent and reminded me of a luxury cinnamon roll. No syrup needed. As all of this delicious food fed our tummies. The satisfying old school R&B music fed our souls. It was definitely a treat to listen because most SATX restaurants don't have that. The music was also at the perfect volume. I would love to return to this amazing establishment in the future. The service, food, and ambiance were incredible and definitely worth an encore. No matter the wait, this place is well worth it.
