    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!!!
    Tracy I.

    This location in St. Joseph is pretty consistent. Each time I've gone it has been pretty efficient, food served at a reasonable time, service is good (could be a little friendlier), and food quality has been good as well. I love McAlister's SWEET TEA the most. We started frequenting McAlister's when we lived in Memphis, TN, and when they moved into the area I was very happy! I typically get the salad and sandwich or salad and potato combos. The portions are pretty huge on some items. If you get a single salad, it is literally a HUGE portion and hard to finish. The Italian Chopped Salad is a favorite. Loaded with romaine, cheese, olives, onion, salami, etc. with a balsamic dressing. The loaded potatoes will feed you and another 2 adults!

    We've been sitting here for 40 minutes waiting for food.  Over 15 tables haven't been cleaned. Worse experience ever

(Especially in this economy) While ordering online, be aware that the time it says on the ordering portal/site is not generally accurate. I, on multiple occasions, have ordered something with a specific pick up time selected (I left plenty of time, thirty minutes from when I ordered to when I wanted to pick it up) and the food still was not ready. Ex: ordered at 11:30 am, pick up time of 11:55-12:00, food was ready closer to 12:10 and I received the 'your food is ready text' at 12:45 pm. While this isn't a bad thing if you have time, if you're on a tight lunch schedule I'd look otherwise. This location is also a bit smaller than their Parkville location, so if it's crowded it's very noticeable and can get a little overwhelming. I do prefer the Platte City location to Parkville though, as their Parkville location doesn't do that good of a job when I order online (this may just be me but I have to take it into consideration). Overall, I do recommend it, just be aware that it is pricey, when packed it can get a little overwhelming, and be aware of how long you have to eat.

I love the various options on their menu. They serve a variety of deli meats and cheeses, available to go as well as on sandwiches. The wall of chips is impressive too! I ordered a toasted plain bagel, perfectly golden, along with a white chocolate macadamia nut hot drink. The bagel was incredibly fresh, with a warm, slightly chewy texture reminiscent of homemade bread. My drink was made with half the usual sweetness, using creamy oat milk, and had a rich, balanced flavor that was very satisfying. Next time I'll plan to get a cinnamon roll - those are huge and look delicious!! I plan to add this place to my coffee-and-breakfast routine.
