Michael T.

I recently visited McAlister's Deli and left feeling a bit disappointed. While the overall flavor of the sandwiches and wraps was actually very good, there was little to no protein inside mostly bread and tortilla, which made the meal feel unbalanced and not very filling. For the price, I expected a heartier portion of meat. That said, the carrot cake was definitely the highlight moist, flavorful, and easily the best part of the visit. Great taste overall, but the protein portions need serious improvement to make the meal worth it.

My favorite spot for a 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet iced tea. Always fresh and refreshing. The employees were setting up a large catering order when I walked in shortly after opening. In no time I was greeted and my food was made fresh and fast.

Gave me moldy avocado in a $12 sandwich usually good but this was so gross especially for how much you pay

This is false advertising

Soggy and not toasted, or at least it doesn't look and feel like it's toasted. In comparison to the sandwich on their menu online, it's definitely false advertising. For 50$ for 3 sandwiches and 3 teas I think they could do better at making this more appetizing and like the actual pictures. When I opened my box it was soggy and soft. And no I didn't let it sit either. I ordered and picked it up right away

Fast service, good food and plenty of options. I went for lunch to meet up with friends. I couldn't decide what to eat since everything looked very good. I ended up getting a sandwich, but next time I will get a baked potato. They have plenty of sandwich options to include vegetarian. I ended up with a vegetarian sandwich. For my side I chose a tomato and cucumber salad. The sandwich was delicious with plenty of veggies. The bread was nice and soft. The tomato and cucumber salad did have a lot of red onion in it. The good thing is that the red onion is cut pretty large so you can set it aside if needed. I ended up getting sweet tea since their sweet tea is very good. They have plenty of seating inside. They also have some seating outside. I did notice a drive-through as well. Parking is on site, but shared with the other businesses.

Small McCallister Club wrap & Mac and Cheese.

Location had very friendly staff, location was clean and plenty of seating. Plenty of outside parking, no wait. Offered a free refill and tasty food. Only reason i took a star off was because she's my meal was $11 for the McCallister club wrap and it was very small, could get a bigger wrap worth that price. Also because the restroom was dirty.

Steak and pepper sandwich limited time
Heather S.

Such great atmosphere! The lady at the register with blue eyeliner taking out order was so positive and nice and helpful! I did decide to try the limited time only steak and pepper sandwich ..I personally was not a fan. I stick to my usual! Lol clean and well maintained restaurant! I recommend! 10/10!

Food was good! Fast service and every side, sandwich was GOOD. I love the kids meal, big bang for your buck. Employees are always nice and helpful. The restrooms were a little messy and it was slow so I took one star for that.

First time visit with my wife for breakfast. Protein pancakes were excellent. They were hot, moist,…read moreflavorful, and generous serving. My wife ordered the PH Protein wrap (chicken). The ingredients were all farm fresh. The wrap was full and plentiful. My wife could only eat half. The area we found for improvement would be to offer salsa on the side for the wraps. They do not heavily salt the food, which I think is a good thing. It allows the flavor of the fresh ingredients to shine. However, without salsa, you feel the wrap needs salt. As for the wait time, it was longer than we are accustomed to. This is not a fast food restaurant. This is a quality specialty restaurant. If you plan to visit, understand that your food is being made fresh with fresh, healthy, natural ingredients, not food that has been sitting under heat lamps. It will be worth the wait. Just be sure you plan for it. I will definitely be back. Gotta try the burgers.

My husband enjoyed the PH burger, definitely felt like we were getting our money's worth, which a meal is 18 bucks or so. Caution on add ons/exchanges! The cashier asked what rice I wanted and she told me the options, so I said Ill try the turmeric and didnt think to ask if there was extra cost, but it was a dollar extra.

The portion sizes were HUGE, so you definitely get plenty of food! I forgot to take a picture of the French fries, but trust me, they were cooked to perfection--perfectly seasoned and extra crispy! We also tried the garlic dipping sauce for the fries. It was okay, but the fries were so good on their own! The music was on my littles danced a little it was very welcoming.

I also like their Dubai chocolate strawberries they make it fresh there but they're pricey. They're $15 the double entrée bowl in comparison is also $15. Roasted cauliflower is considered an entrée and I recommend it cause roasted cauliflower is delicious especially with all the sauces and dressings. The marquee with the sample salad bowls and wraps changed very fast so I couldn't figure out which one I wanted so I made my own bowl and I cannot be trusted cause I wanted everything in the bowl. Another customer recommended the chicken however I'm anemic so I had the beef But next time I will try the chicken. She also gets her dips on the side for an extra charge because she shares her bowl, but I don't share so I had everything in there. I hardly made a dent, so for the price it can feed you twice.

I didn't catch our waitress's name, but she was very attentive and fun. The burger I got was the Hangover, which lots of places have now, but this one was a little different in that it had hash browns, an egg, and bacon. The hash browns were a really nice addition. I added an extra patty and upgraded to the jalapeno cheese bun. It normally comes on TX toast which I think would be equally tasty. Not the absolute best burger I have had, but it was solid! I doubt you'd be disappointed, but not sure you would say this is the new heavyweight champ. The onion rings were very good. Sweet potato fries were a little lacking. Wife for the BLT...awesome with a solid amount of bacon, and my mom got the Rueben and it was as good as any I have had. Cool spot, add it to your list!

Wife enjoyed her garden salad but for $10 seemed slightly pricey. Ranch dressing was good but store bought. One more thing - very few vegetarian choices! Service- 3/5: Everyone working that day in the front had food stains on their clothes. I get it's a restaurant but gave off unclean establishment vibes. Servers checked on us frequently so appreciate that. Ambience - 3/5: Clean and comfortable seating. Their prices are higher than what's posted on their online menu so just be aware of that. The server did tell me they were aware of it and changes were in the works. All in all, it's a one and done for us.

Came here on a Saturday night for a family dinner and had a wonderful experience. We started with…read morethe roasted artichoke appetizer, which was a huge hit. It was served with flatbread for dipping, and the lemon butter sauce was absolutely delicious. I followed our server's recommendation and ordered the Chicken Napoletana for my entrée. In all seriousness, it was one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. The balance of flavors, the sauce, and the overall execution were perfect. I would absolutely come back just to order this dish again. We also had the pizza and spaghetti with meatballs, and both were delicious. The bread deserves a special mention as well- 10/10. I found this restaurant while visiting San Antonio and wanted to avoid dining near the River Walk, so I followed an article that listed it as the best authentic Italian restaurant in the city. After eating here, I completely agree with that assessment. Overall, this was an outstanding meal and a place I would gladly recommend to anyone looking for excellent Italian food in San Antonio.

I discovered this place by accident at their downtown location and immediately fell in love with…read moreit. Everything looked amazing, and so much of it is made in-house. Since this location was closer, a friend and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Mexican Cubana with lentil soup and a Banana Nut Matcha Latte. The Cubana was absolutely out of this world. Everything about it was perfect. The lentil soup was also very good, although my friend ordered the black bean soup, and I think I might have been missing out. LOL. The sandwich and soup are definitely on the higher end price-wise, but I wouldn't let that stop you. There is plenty of value in the meal, and the sandwich is incredibly hearty. Both my friend and I had to take half of ours to go, which is something I seldom do. The Banana Nut Matcha Latte, however, was not for me. At $7.50, I expected more and would probably skip it next time. The atmosphere was very nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating; the restaurant was very clean, and even though it was extremely busy, there was still enough room to move around comfortably. They also have a coffee bar that doubles as a regular bar. Unfortunately, the customer service experience is what brought my rating down to 3 stars--and I honestly considered giving it 2.5. I understand this was a busy Saturday morning, especially with the restaurant being near a major entertainment and shopping area. We waited in a line outside, which did not bother me. The bigger issue was what happened once we got inside. Everyone enters the same line, moving first through the pastry counter--AND THE PASTRIES ARE HEAVEN!--before eventually reaching the register to order and pay. You are then given a table number and your food is delivered to you. I've been to plenty of restaurants that operate this way, but the flow here felt unnecessarily chaotic. Everyone was placed into the same line regardless of whether they were dining in, ordering food to go, or simply stopping in for pastries. I think having separate service areas or lines could help tremendously. It was also obvious that some of the staff were overwhelmed by how busy things had become. Unfortunately, that frustration seemed to spill over into some customer interactions, and a few employees came across as less than warm or welcoming. It may simply have been a difficult morning, but it definitely affected our experience. The bright spot was having the opportunity to speak with the manager on shift, Ms. Charisma. She was professional, empathetic, and genuinely listened to my concerns. She did not make excuses or try to justify what happened. She offered to compensate us for our meal, which we declined, but I truly appreciated the gesture. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I wanted another great experience that would make me excited to come back. Before this visit, I had been to the downtown location twice, and both experiences were fantastic. I had actually considered it one of the best cafes I'd found in San Antonio so far. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. I was excited to introduce a friend to a place I enjoyed so much, only to have a very different experience. Maybe it is location-dependent. Maybe it was simply the time of day or an especially difficult Saturday morning. What makes it frustrating is that the food itself was outstanding--a perfect 10/10. I was completely satisfied with my meal, but the service experience made it difficult to fully enjoy it. The location is also great, in a newer shopping center near La Cantera Resort and Six Flags. Parking wasn't terrible, although weekends can be challenging. I imagine it would be much easier during the week. Overall: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: Needs improvement Overall: 3/5 Thank you, Ms. Charisma, for taking the time to listen and for handling the situation with professionalism and empathy. Because of that interaction, I am willing to give this location another chance.
