You already know the teas and lemonades Go to is the king club so you can have some for now and some later Choose 2 is another fav! Like to switch it up between the southwest chicken, spud max, soups or chef salad Butter pecan cheesecake is a Always have a seasonal drink or dessert

Jalapeno crunch sandwich
Candy S.

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!

Arnold Palmer tea

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
AuBriana B.

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!

It's a good story about a lazy dog in a ski lodge in front of a fireplace and an idea and voila some 20 years later LazyDog has been around. First crack at it for me. Pretty restaurant with good food quality but at its current price points it presents as an upscale facility like its competitor close by Whisky Cake. With a healthy block of restaurants in this area, there's a lot of things you need to do right. Starting at the front door their host the staff was fairly inattentive. We weren't welcomed in or even asked. Had we been at the facility before. Our server was about as indifferent, not asking any of those questions either we saw her three times only. At order, at delivery of food, and at check. Unfortunately, I really can't point out anyone by name because name tags are not utilized here and the server never introduced herself by name. Surprising that the staff is in jeans which I suppose I might get if we're trying to go with the ski lodge theme but it comes across kind of sloppy given you've got a $40 Chilean Seabass on your menu and linen wrapped silverware. Food quality was great. Taste was on point. But beware, you're not gonna get in and out of here for the same price as BJ's or like restaurant concept. Grilled cheese sandwich will set you back $15. Hamburgers are $18 to $20. Table for two and my bill was 50 for lunch before tip. Definite stop for a business lunch.

Great Drinks, Great Food & Even Better Vibes!…read more Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don't even plan! I decided to stop by Whiskey Cake in Stafford, Texas, to check out their happy hour, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! They offer $8 cocktails and appetizers, which is already a win in my book! Espresso Martinis: 5/5 Now y'all know I love a good espresso martini, and baby, these were DELICIOUS! So good that I had TWO! Perfectly made, smooth, and absolutely worth ordering again. And apparently, I wasn't the only one impressed! Once people around me started seeing my martinis, they were like, "Ooooh, that looks good! I want one too!" At that point, I was basically an unofficial brand ambassador! Spinach & Artichoke Dip: 5/5 Rich, creamy, flavorful, and just GOOD! What really stood out to me were the little crispy crackers they served alongside it. I'm so accustomed to spinach and artichoke dip being served with tortilla chips or toasted bread, so this was a nice change! The crackers complemented the dip perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Service: 5/5 Now, let's talk about Gori, my server and bartender! What a sweetheart! The restaurant was SUPER busy, but you would've never known it based on the attention and service he provided. He was kind, personable, patient, and took the time to answer my questions without ever making me feel rushed. And did I mention he made those delicious espresso martinis?! Gori definitely deserves his flowers! Atmosphere & Good Company: 5/5 But what really made this visit special was the PEOPLE! I was sitting at the bar and struck up a lovely conversation with a group of gentlemen enjoying lunch to my right. Then, to my left, I had the pleasure of meeting two of the sweetest ladies, Stephanie and Natalie! Y'all, when I tell you we had such a great time talking! It felt like catching up with girlfriends I'd known for years. We laughed, shared stories, exchanged phone numbers, and hopefully this is the beginning of some new friendships and future outings! And that's what I love about experiences like this. Sometimes you go somewhere just to grab a cocktail and a bite to eat, and you leave with so much more! Overall Experience: 5/5 Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great atmosphere. And most importantly, GREAT PEOPLE! Whiskey Cake, you understood the assignment! I'll definitely be back, and if you're in the Stafford area looking for a good happy hour spot, I'd absolutely recommend giving them a try! LoveJones Eats | Good Food. Good Drinks. Good Vibes.
