    Veggie Chili and Veggie Spud
    Kathy G.

    If you like Panera, you'll probably like McAlister's deli even more because the food is really good and the portions are a decent size. I really like the option to pick two and you can choose from sandwiches, soups, salads, and loaded baked potatoes. They have a yummy vegetarian chili. There is a large parking lot with disabled accessible spots and a ramp to get inside. They offer mostly indoor dining, but there are some patio tables to enjoy on warm weather days. You order from the counter and they give you a number and serve you at your table. Even on busy days, the service is fairly quick. They are known for their iced tea and it's quite good whether you like it sweet or unsweetened.

    It's tough not to write a super positive review (because I love McAlister's, but my recent experience here was less than spectacular. My pick two and sweet tea was almost $20--call me cheap, but that's pretty steep for lunch. It was made well and tasted great, as usual, but took quite a while to come out. There was only three or so other tables there at the time, and I waited for 15 min for my food to come out. The person at the register was rude when I asked about my total, but the worker that brought my food out was very polite and even came back to check on me. Overall, I enjoy the food and atmosphere for casual lunch, so I will undoubtedly return.

    By far big n filling 6inch French dip sandwich! Girl customer service was great. Used to work here forgot how filling n mouth watering food was. Pricing not a fav but definitely outside the box then a fast food joint.

    Great service always super friendly. I came in on a Wednesday at 5pm and there was no wait. What to order: (they no longer make it but it's called the Turkey Cobb sandwich) it has turkey, bacon, Gorgonzola, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and ranch. I get it in a bowl with potato salad. This item is longer than the menu as I mentioned previously, but they will customize it for you if you ask for it!

    The Italian and Southwest Chicken & Avocado Salad

    I recently tried Mcalister's for the first time and I was very impressed by the food. I ordered the pick two with an Italian sub and a southwest salad and it was so good and flavorful and fresh 10/10 recommend. I bought this meal for $13, which I thought was a great deal as well. This might be a new favorite spot for me and I can't wait to try more things on the menu.

    I love this place. I had the pick two. I had a spicy and west chicken sandwich with chili. It was so good. It came out hot and very quick. The staff was very outgoing and helpful. The place was very big. You could eat inside or out. I definitely recommend this place.

    Great place for a sandwich, salad and some home brewed ice tea. McAllisters delivers consistent quality at numerous locations. Order at the counter and they bring your meal out when ready. Lots of tables to accommodate a constant stream of patrons.

    So everyone knows that the star of this show is the Sweet Tea and it is! Thinking about that tea is what brought me here and then I opted to have lunch as well. It's great that they offer a 1/2 and 1/2 because i'm often torn between a Spud and a Sandwich. For this visit, I settled on the 1/2 Chipotle Chicken spud and 1/2 Spicy Turkey Melt. Very solid meal, fresh, hot and made to my request. This fast casual chain does a very good job providing a nice selection of appealing foods.

    Didn't pack about 30% of our take out order and were extremely rude and non apologetic. The place is very chaotic.

    Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

    This is a really small family run sandwich shop, so be prepared to wait in a long line because…read moreeverything is made to order and they are also making food for to-go orders at the same time. I would highly recommend stopping by before or after the lunch rush. Their sandwiches are very large with lots of fresh ingredients and they have your standard sandwiches along with their own specialties. They have gone "viral"locally for their amazing flavor combinations and while I'm not a "sandwich person," I really do like theirs. I wonder how many more times I can say sandwiches in this review? LOL! Have I eaten the best sandwich I've ever had here? No. But they are still solid. Service is friendly and there's a lot of seating because most people take their sandwiches to go.

Don't know why they chose to purée the butternut squash after roasting it, but that I think would've been better having the roasted bite with the beats.

The chicken was prepared nicely. It was grilled it was delicious. I was expecting maybe a little bit more flavor to the chicken which could've helped with the pasta, but the pasta was very bland. Other than that, I loved everything and I will be back to try other things on the menu
