    This sandwich is always good! Fresh, made right. Staff is nice, good with giving suggestions. Always a place to sit and eat, clean and family oriented.

    I like McAlister's a lot and wish there was a location closer to me. I wasn't even aware of this location until we decided to eat here the other night. The employees at the counter were very friendly and patient while we decided on what we wanted to order. I had the McAlister's Club Wrap with chips. The wrap was really good. The honey mustard gave it a nice flavor. I've had the potato salad before and it's really good but I wanted something different for my side this time. My friend had the Ultimate Nachos and said they were good. It's unusual for a deli to have nachos, but it certainly sets them apart from other delis. I love McAlister's iced tea and didn't realize they have flavor options (peach, black cherry, and strawberry). I opted for regular unsweet tea with lemon slices. Their tea is up there with Chick-fil-a. It's never bitter! The employees were so great! They brought our food out to our table quickly and checked on us while we were eating to see if we needed anything. They bused our table so quickly too when we were done eating. It wasn't super busy in there but they were on top of it. Bonus points for having a great playlist!

    Mc Alister Deli National Ice Tea Day My favorite drink is the Arnold Palmer iced tea. It's always fresh brewed tea at McAlister deli. Today I also went for the Harvest Chicken Salad sandwich on a croissant. Chicken salad at its finest. Lightly toasted bread, fresh spring mix, tomatoes, cranberries to add the sweetness and a few pecans for that crunch. Service was on point and the facility was clean inside and outside.

    PecanBerry Salad

    McAlister's needs to bring back the PecanBerry Salad. Like seriously. It's the first thing I had at this location and I'll be honest in saying that I haven't been back since they discontinued it. As delicious as it is, I only gave 4 stars due to the inconsistency in salads each time I ordered. One day, the salad would be a perfect 5/5, whereas other days, they were out of ingredients and I had to inquire about it before being given an alternative option. There was always ample amount of chicken, the fruit was fresh, and I absolutely loved the raspberry vinaigrette. The candied pecans were the perfect addition. I imagine the other salads are the same -- big in size, full of protein (if ordered), and made with fresh ingredients. Customer service was always stellar every time. It's a new location, so I'm glad to see it's off to a great start. I'm sure the PecanBerry will make its way to the menu again (probably a seasonal item), but I'll try to bring myself to try some other menu items in the meantime.

    Cold broccoli cheddar soup and unbeatable bread.

    Soup was Luke warm, sandwich bread so hard could not eat it, just had the meat. Terrible service, understaffed however restaurant was clean. Just skip this location and head to the one on University in Sugar Land.

    Grilled chicken minus mustard.

    This was a really nice place with very attentive staff, if not overly attentive, because many people don't realize it's open due to all the construction around this place. I like the variety of sandwiches and the combos where you can mix and match things. They do have unique tastes on classics like muchroom soup, which tastes like portobello mushroom, which gives the soup a distinct flavor. The only comparison I'll make to Jason's Deli is that you may not feel full after the combo. With the McAlister's you get the soup and sandwich. Jason's Deli will still add chips, which won't make you feel like you haven't eaten anything. It's not a knock against them, but something you should consider. I'm interested in coming back here again, once it gets busier, because you'll have a better idea of how attentive the staff is once it is busy. For now enjoy it, because once people realize it's open, it'll be packed.

    Craving a salad and The Hubs suggested here. I ordered the grill chicken salad add honey roasted almonds with chipotle peach dressing. The Hubs ordered the king club sandwich with a side cesar salad. My salad was good! The chipotle peach had a lil kick with sweetness in it.....DELICIOUS! I just wish they had bleu cheese lol. Anyhoo, The Hubs enjoyed his sandwich and got a happy plate! His side salad almost made him full, it's just that big.

    Really wanted cucumber and tomatoes.  But got more onions than I should have.

    Girl yelling at coworkers. Guy coming inside because they didn't carry out his curbside order. Mostly onions in cucumbers and tomatoes. Not a fan...

    This is supposed to be the king club with sliced turkey

    This sandwich is made extremely sloppy and is completely falling apart. I won't order from this location again

    They're new and they're really sweet. My mom and I are glad we don't have to drive allllll the way to sugar land to get our fix. The food quality is a bit better, but that's because again, they're new. They're always friendly, food is alway right, and we usually have no complaints. Mask up!

    Manager seemed to have a terrible attitude and could care less about anyone in the restaurant. Quality of food was terrible. Attached pics of what I ordered vs. what I got (a pretty sad sandwich!) Also ordered a peach iced tea and a chicken tortilla soup. The soup was cold and was not given any chips to go with it. The tea was also just okay - it use to come with peach chunks and now they are only adding syrup. There are much better places in the area for sure!

    Really good food, great customer service, nice and clean. Definitely coming back!

    We love Cava. I go to Cava all the time, normally in Kyle, but I've now come to this location about…read more4X now. Consistency is the only issue that I experience when I come here. Twice it's been great, twice it's been meh but definitely not bad. Portions are fine, the sauce distribution or remembering to put sauce on the side is inconsistent. Twice I did not ask for it on the side, and it was drowning in sauce and not enjoyable. The service though? Every time the staff is so nice. Even if I'm coming to pick up - they're kind, say hello and have a great day, and I appreciate the experience from start to end each time. The restaurant is very clean, plenty of areas to sit even when it is busy during lunch, I love the soda brand they use (local and uses real cane sugar), and their juices are delicious every time! I will continue to bet on Cava and enjoy it each time in TS Sugar Land!

    Kelly was incredible…read more This was my first time ever going into a Cava restaurant and to be quite honest, I never even knew what it was when I would see it passing by. I need nothing about the menu nothing about what they're offerings were or anything. One employee was extremely crass and impatient with me and it rubbed me the wrong way. She wouldn't listen to what I wanted or what I pointed at and just expected me to go down the line quickly. As someone who has never even seen this establishment ever before, her character was certainly a repellent for me ever coming back again. However, Kelly was a doll. She was patient and soft spoken and really set in the moment despite my stone face. She softened me up after the experience with her co-worker and I appreciate her for making sure I got exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Kelly! So what did I order? I ordered the steak + harissa for myself and a custom salad for my mom with the basic components starting with the greens and greens bowl. Mine: Steak + Harissa Steak, Crazy Feta, red pepper hummus, tomato + onion, cucumber, feta, slaw, brown rice, greens, harissa vinaigrette I didn't deviate from what the original pairings were except for I took off the feta due to my lactose intolerance. This bowl was incredible. Omg. I was not expecting the combination of flavors. It was citrusy and rich and smooth and hearty all-in-one. What a wonderful recipe. Absolutely going to order this bowl again. Delish! 10/10 And their lemonade?? OMG. So bright and sweet but not overpowering. I don't know what they put in this lemonade but it is certainly tasty. 10/10 (My mom also loved her bowl) The inside of the restaurant was clean and bright and there were so many people coming in and out and even dining in. Since I could not stay that day, I want to have a quick lunch date here and actually dine in. I'm super familiar with this area after living there for over a decade in Sugar Land but we do have a location here in Missouri City so I want to visit there too!
