    Pecanberry salad & Chipotle Chicken and bacon spud
    Lisa M.

    Food was fresh and tasted great. Plates, silverware cups and tables appeared clean. Our cashier was very friendly and went out of her way to make sure our drinks were fresh (she had to change a soda syrup out) before even handing us a drink that wouldn't taste right. I commend that because normally they don't pay attention and customers are the ones who have to complain for them to change out the bag. It was after lunch hour so the dining area was mostly empty but for us and a couple other people.

    Black angus king club sandwich
    Max G.

    Went to McAllister after baseball practice and one of the first things I did was stand under a fan, I didn't feel any air coming out of it and did not cool me down, so invest in some better fans. My sandwich was decent. Could use more horseradish and some better bread other than just wheat. But that's probably just on me for ordering the wrong thing. Mac and cheese was also pretty decent. Other than that, the service was good. The food came out quick and the people were always walking around asking about refills which was very good

    Inside dining area

    Today was the first time we tried out McAlisters Deli! We made it in there before the rush came in so it was a nice quiet restaurant. Which was nice. I'm not a huge fan of large crowds so it was the ideal time for me. Walk in & there were 3 people at the counter. Some friendly some didn't say a word. No biggie. There were menus you could look at if you couldn't see the board, which was a nice option. We ordered and the food came out pretty quick. Within 10 mins or so we had our food and it was delicious. The meat on the French dip was tender and juicy. Sandwich was loaded with meat, which was awesome. Some places tend to skimp on the meat, but not this place. It was loaded. Only thing was I wish I would of ordered extra cheese. I got a side of broccoli cheddar soup & it was also delicious! It was loaded with carrots and broccoli so that made it even better. I love a chunky filled soup! We made it before the rush of lunch so we had a lot of options for seating. Chose a table by the window so we could watch out the window. We had some kiddos outside entertaining themselves by trying to get people to honk & wave. It was cute! I was also told that the bathrooms (2-3 stalls) there were also very clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. There is a sign that states to leave your plates on the table so the staff know which tables need sanitized. I love that idea. You know the tables are getting cleaned after every customer. The food was delicious so we plan on coming back for more!

    That sad, sad vegan sandwich/wrap smh
    Tigra C.

    A group of us went to lunch and someone chose this place. When I asked the cashier about vegan options he told me that he had never heard of "vegan" and didn't know what it was. lol He ended up going back to the kitchen to find out what was vegan and/or veganizeable. I ended up getting the chili and a veggie sandwich without the cheese. Veggie sandwich, post veganization, was boring and bland. The veggie chili is vegan and delicious, however, it alone is not reason for me to ever go out of my way to revisit this deli. I do appreciate that they offer one good vegan option though.

    Garden Salad
    April H.

    Ordered a garden salad for lunch and when I opened the box, over half of the lettuce is brown and wilted. Called the store to inform them and received attitude from the manager stating all of their salads are made fresh in the morning. There was no apology, just attitude. I won't be eating here again.

    Complete fail

    Let the photos be your judge. Completely burnt. A table spoon of chicken salad. Half sandwich seemed small, but I guess it probably shrinks when engulfed by flame. The family spent $50 bucks on carry out. I know...not too terrible much in these days. I figure we will just never go back. Oh heck...I decided to go talk to a manager. Might as well waste my whole Friday night and drive back. She told me that's how they usually are, but this was a bit burnt. So I followed up and asked if I was eating in, you'd proudly serve me this exact sandwich, which she replied yes. So I showed the other people in line and asked them if they thought this was edible...all were a big NO. I could see that the shift manager did not give a hoot. She offered to remake it. I just got a refund. I mean really what's the point when it's clear that the manager and staff don't care whatsoever. By this time I'd probably receive a sandwich with a Lou-gee in it. And if I tried to get through to her I'd probably be in a TikTok video...lol. It's disheartening what these workers think is acceptable. I should add that the young man that rings in the order is excellent and respectful. Too bad he's not in charge.

    SWEET TEA!!!

    Had the McAlisters club sandwich with potato salad, it tasted really good. The service was friendly. It was really busy for lunch.

Well let me start off with the fact they are over an hour away from our home. Considering they have ruined us on any and all other burger and fries, it might become a habit. Husband had the Blackberry Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger. I do not on the norm like blackberries, but on this!!!! The blackberries sweetness stands against the strong overpowering blue cheese and they meld well to make a wonderful tasting combo. I ordered There Goes My Gryo.....how did they get a freaking lamb burger, a very lean meat be that juicy!?!? I dont know but with the peppers, tomato and onion made a fresh hamburger, might be good with some kalamata olive....but I am not complaining. It was delicious. I am picky on my fries and usually dont eat the full amount restaurants serve. I had to stop myself. They are more like a shoestring but not hard or crunchy. Seasoned wonderfully! My suggestion you go in there with a big appetite, grab lots of napkins and be ready to devour the best burger you've ever had!

    Xavier is THE MAN!…read more My first time in this part of Missouri and I found this absolute gem of a worker/Manager/ chef/ dynamo/ non stop happy smiling human being who made me the best rice bowls two days in a row. Loads of Love! There are ingredients and pictures on a photo menu board that look good. When they are made right in front of you, 4 feet away on the other side of the glass with class and care with Xavier checking with you " You said well done right? You stated extra black beans - some more?" Then he generously pours the Sweet Asian dressing and bbq sauce on top of that shrimp bowl masterpiece ( video ) Really flavorful and perfect black beans. Really tender and tasty rice. The end result - a magnificent mmmmmmm great finger licking good classic that left me speechless. I love the menu options - salads, wraps, rice bowls. Love the build your own with very nice options - the peppers, jalapeños, onions, banana peppers and mushrooms were my fav and go to hot veggie grilled items. . The Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, nachos and burritos are on my Monday to Wednesday must have menu. Loved the soda options at the fountain - Dr Pepper, sugar free Root beer and Pepsi Zero. Loved the simple interior. Loved the self help counter with plasticware, napkins, straws and ketchup and condiments. Love PepperJax Grill and the stellar Xavier.

    Great food , great service , so far best Philly sandwich I ever had. Highly recommended!read more

The cafe is reminiscent of small neighborhood coffee shops, mixed with Italia touches. Tables are scattered throughout, with a hidden nook for private conversations. Their menu is diversified, but still offers the standard cafe offerings. The chicken salad was sampled on this trip , and had an herby edge to it. The broccoli soup is slightly watery, but great flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and welcomed long conversations. A major plus? The space can be rented by the hour. They also allow outside food/drink. Unheard of , but greatly appreciated. We used it for them for an event today, and were so overwhelmed by the owners/staff. Very accommodating and easy to work with. Great space, and easily customized for your event. Thanks to the Pronto cafe staff- you made our day easier!
