    Southwest Chicken & Avocado Salad
    Steven C.

    Food: This time I ordered the Southwest Chicken and Avocado salad. I give this place a solid 3.8 only because they always forget something with the order or get the order incorrect. There's usually 4 people at the cash register so I'm confused why the pick up order is always missing something from a bag of chips to a simple pickle on the side. I do enjoy the food though so I would have made this a 4 if they could at least get the order correct. Ambiance: Clean on the outside and inside. Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Parking: Plenty of shopping center parking at all hours of business operations. I haven't seen the parking lot full enough that made it difficult to find a spot to park.

    A terribly small "1/2" sandwich and chili cup completed a "pick two" combo.

    Post-Covid inflation really took a bite from my wallet while delivering the smallest portions I could imagine. Somehow my 'pick two' sandwich and soup combo at $7.99 plus a drink ballooned to over $13. On the receipt tax was, naturally, added but the oversized cola was nearly $4! The 1/2 sandwich appeared to be closer to 1/4 size. The chili portion was acceptable but far from generous. No charge for the pickle spear. Friendly service only added to the feeling of having been robbed with a smile.

    What's not good about McAlister's? Great service, friendly staff and tasty food! It's a rainy day so of course we had to get some type of soup to warm us up, perfect choice!

    Extremely clean store with friendly staff. The atmosphere is perfectly matched with the good they serve. The only problem I did have is the soup. It was like warm and I was barely given a cup. Overall 4/5.

    Like all new restaurants that open in Terre Haute, there is a certain amount of overwhelming fan fare from being the lead story on the local news to non-stop lines for the first few weeks. So with this in mind, the experience for me and my folks at the new McAlister's Deli in Terre Haute was ordered off my cell phone and a to-go order to avoid the crowds and chaos as much as possible. So with this in mind, the McAlister's Deli website and on-line ordering system is super easy to navigate, easy to make changes/additions to menu items and very efficient all from the palm of my hand on my I-Phone. You place your order, pay, you select a time for pick up and BOOM...easy, quick, food to go. When I hustled through the restaurant and saddled up to the left side of the ordering counter in the "To Go" area in anticipation of giving my name and picking up my order, I was greeted by a nice employee who indicated that as long as there were not drinks in the order I placed on-line, I just needed to walk around the counter to the left, find my order in its bag, grab and go. The honor system here is in full swing. As I was only seeking to hustle in, hustle out and avoid the crowds, I can confirm that they are busy. The grey, wood, white, pops of orange, yellow green branding make the restaurant seem inviting and welcoming. You order you food at the counter and then have a seat (no direct table service). And for take out food and having never eaten at a McAlister's before, I would say our experience was better than average for a place that is not quite fast food, but not entirely a table service situation either. The salad was fresh & good sized, the baked potato was hot, a good spud and also a good size for a smaller spud that came with my half sandwich, the French dip was a bit overcooked according to my mom but pretty decent for a take-away $10 sandwich. Again, we changed out cheeses, added veggies and eliminated sauces with great ease on-line when we placed the order. So for a new establishment with all the pressure of the local community bearing down on anticipation of it being a new eatery, I would give them 4 stars. It is chain, but for this town, it would not matter. We had a good experience and would go again and maybe even sit down inside, once the fan fair and excitement is a fews months past.

    We love grabbing a quick lunch at this McAlisters and sitting on their patio. I got the choose 2 with the pecan berry salad and the smoky pepper jack Turkey sandwich. The salad is a huge portion for only being half & the dressing is my favorite! Service was a little slow, but it was a busy lunch rush.

    Garden Turkey
    Nita L.

    Update: I felt something hard when I was chewing the garden turkey sandwich. And I found it's the "belly button" of the avocado, as shown in the attached picture, which is ridiculous. ------------ Original: Went there three times and they made mistakes on each order :(. Ordered Garden Turkey twice and they missed my avocado EVERY TIME!! My advice is to check your sandwich before you leave if you have a to go order.

The building itself is over a 100 years old and is on the National Register of Historic Places, this helps its cool vibe. We came in at 12:30 on a December Thursday, it was absolutely packed, what appeared to be multiple team/holiday gatherings. We were told a 20 minute wait, but we eventually were able to find a seat at the bar in less time. With as busy as it was, I was concerned food coming out may be impacted, but it came out quick. Allie was our bar tender, she was very friendly and attentive, shout out to her. First I started with a local beer, wango tango. I would call it a hazy pale ale. It was perfect for me. Had grilled shishito peppers. It was my first time to ever eat one, I loved them. I enjoyed them better without the sauce, but the wasabi Mayo did provide a nice kick. I ate the fried wontons with the sauce. We shared the crab Rangoon flatbread. It did not disappoint, and had a healthy serving size. I would get it again and again! Then I went with a comfort food, fried bologna sandwich. It came with a side, but the sandwhich alone was enough. I added a close pic of the sandwich, it had two thick cut pieces of meat. Impressive. It came with melted cheese, that was a twist for me, but I wanted to try it the way it was on the menu first. I eventually added ketchup, lol. We now have a new place to stop as we're passing by on 70. If I lived closer, i definitely would be a regular!!!

    We had a great experience! Good service, nice atmosphere and good food. I had the meat loaf…read moresandwich with mashed potatoes, hubby had a wedge salad and onion rings. Everything was tasty!
