    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.

    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...

    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.

    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!

There are…read moremany other options and I always think of trying them but that Travolta sings to me and it's the one that goes home with me. They have some delicious desserts and I vaguely remember them from the few times I tried them, but I try to eat both halves of the sandwich and that's it, can't eat another bite. The service is always great, the people are well trained and are pleasant to deal with. Ambiance, what ambiance? It's a great place to go get your sandwich and we take it home to eat and watch TV. The one time we ate there, it took away from the glorious experience of eating that mouth watering goodness. There were other distracting people around us and keeping me from concentrating on my sandwich!

    I went back after finishing a 5K. It was a Saturday night, about half an hour before closing, and…read moreit wasn't too busy. I wanted to dine in but decided to get my food to go out of respect of their 8 pm closing hour. I didn't look at what I ordered last time, so I asked for a recommendation. He suggested The Stallone and The Lucky. I ordered, then checked my previous order on Yelp while I waited. Same thing. OMG. I wanted to try something new too. Oh well. Then, while waiting, I had a thought: Wouldn't it be weird if they gave me the wrong order again, just like last time? Well... guess what. Almost. But flipped. They gave my order to another guy. ‍ When he told them, I watched them frantically take my food out of his bag and put it into mine. It was almost closing time, and the guy didn't look like he had any communicable diseases, so I guess there's that plus. But seriously, what are the odds? There were like five guys working back there packing orders it looked like. How does this keep happening? And one of the kids bagging the takeout orders had dark sunglasses on. At 8 PM. Dude, unless it's some medical condition, take the sunglasses off or get the order right. When I got home, the meatball sandwich was, of course, cold--which I expected since I live about 20 minutes away. I'd strongly recommend eating it there while it's hot because it's not nearly as good cold. Kinda mid The Stallone I ordered not warmed up. So it was okay. So, yeah, unfortunately, my second visit came with another wrong-order adventure. At this point, I'm starting to wonder if getting someone else's food is just part of the experience here.

It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place. In this review I want to give a special shout out to Beverly, our server, as she was amazing and whom I recommend. She practically read our minds and was an absolute star. Thank you, Beverly, for the fine service that was speedy with a smile!

My niece wanted the chocolatey-est dessert on the menu so our awesome waiter (a very personable and kind guy) recommended a multi-layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and we decided to have it a la mode. He asked if we wanted it hot or warm. We ordered it warm and in hindsight we wish we'd ordered it hot but it was still perfect for a chocolate fix. He even brought out a candle for the cake when he found out her birthday was coming up the following week. I also ordered a cheesecake and we shared each other's desserts. Needless to say we had plenty to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed it the following day as well and at a hotter temperature that was perfect with soft serve ice cream.

Once we walked in, though, we were pleasantly surprised. The place was clean, and you can see the kitchen from the dining area, which was nice.

The service was quick, and the manager was very friendly and welcoming. I gave this location 3 stars because, while everything was good overall, nothing really stood out to make it an exceptional experience. Still, the friendly service and clean restaurant made for a pleasant visit.

    I had read that this place was "smaller than other locations" like "1/4 the size of a Jason's Deli"…read morebut we didn't realize it would be THIS SMALL. Like, it's got 5 tables??? After googling this location, it was listed as a Jason's Deli-Express. (Well, maybe that should be listed on the front of the store). I always get Jason's Deli salad bar well... that's not here. And the kids love the free ice cream... I don't think that's here either. We didn't see it. If you go to Jason's for sandwiches, this place would definitely be ok. Baked potato, yes. Ordering an already made salad, yup. So unfortunately, we left and went to a "normal" Jason's Deli where I could have my beloved salad bar and the kids could gorge themselves on ice cream.
