Avocado

McAlister's is typically a great choice. I usually order off the pick two menu, a salad and a sandwich. On my salad I add avocado, it was brown. I am blown away that anyone in the food industry would put this on someone's plate for consumption. Not only did someone put it on the salad but someone also checks it before bagging. This location needs some training before they make someone very sick.

Justaspud with cheddar jack & bacon ???
Michelle L.

I stopped in to McAlister's for a quick bite before I had to be somewhere. I ordered the Justaspud® ($6.49) and added bacon ($1.75) and Cheddar Jack Cheese ($1.50). What I received was 2 baked potatoes with maybe 2 tablespoons of cheese and maybe 1 strip of bacon. The place was very busy with third party delivery orders. It was dry and sad. It took a while to order and a while to receive the food as well. I doubt I'd come back here.

Reuben sandwich with Mac n cheese
Lisa G.

I visited this establishment in the early afternoon on a weekday. It is usually quite busy inside, and today was no different. I waited in a quick moving line, the cashiers are very efficient. I tried the reuben sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese. I asked for extra pickles, but didn't get them. The Reuben had the meat piled high, but I could barely taste any sauerkraut or dressing. I wish it were more balanced in flavor. The Mac n cheese was hot and creamy, but lacked any flavor at all until I added salt and pepper from the shakers at the table. Even then, it could have used some Sriracha or garlic powder. Next time, I'll stick with a bag of chips instead of trying to branch out. This visit was slightly disappointing because my meal was bland in flavor. Hope next time is better.

At the Lemay store when you order a bowl of soup, you only get a half of a bowl, which to me is a cup, for $6 it's not worth it!!!!

Love the half and half deals. I always get a 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 berry salad and am never disappointed.

Cold soup, old tasting bread bowl. Took forever to get our food. Staff wasn't very courteous. Overall the whole experience was not good.

Gioia's Deli - Original salami sandwich

A perfect sandwich. The Hot Salami. Recognized by James Beard. I did mine on garlic cheese bread…read morewith peppers. Got there early and then it got really crowded. Definitely worth stopping when in St Louis

We chose this sandwich shop because they're a well-known small business in STL, and whenever we…read morehost visitors from out of town for luncheons we always try to support local restaurants so they can get a true taste of St. Louis. Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.
