veggie "please do not call me potato" spud and 1/2 and 1/2 tea of which i drank about 1/4 before pic
Avery V.

food - i went to the restaurant with my dad, and ordered the veggie spud, which was thoroughly tasty, toppings, fillings, skin and all. my only minor critique is the item being called a spud rather than potato, which i'd surmise might be too reminiscent of the notorious famine for such a restaurant that eponymously suggests irish heritage. i also got a 1/2 and 1/2 tea, which was quite refreshing and skillfully balanced. my dad got the nachos, which he reported were tasty also, though a little on the "chippy" side from what he has become accustomed from ordering that dish before. service - the service was efficient and friendly, which is especially appreciated because of the budding lunch rush during which we ordered. also, though the cashier was not the same worker who delivered our good food - i went to the restaurant with my dad, and ordered the veggie spud, which was thoroughly tasty, toppings, fillings, skin and all. my only minor critique is the item being called a spud rather than potato, which i'd surmise might be too reminiscent of the notorious famine for such a restaurant that eponymously suggests irish heritage. i also got a 1/2 and 1/2 tea, which was quite refreshing and skillfully balanced. my dad got the nachos, which he reported were tasty also, though a little on the "chippy" side from what he has become accustomed from ordering that dish before. service - the service was efficient and friendly, which is especially appreciated because of the budding lunch rush during which we ordered. also, though the cashier was not the same worker who delivered our food or cleared the plates from the table, she was the worker with whom we had the most interaction. and although i did not ask her name, i'll note she was wearing shiny green shamrock earrings, a festive reminder of st pattys day tomorrow. ambiance - as mentioned before, the restaurant was starting to get a lunch rush when we were arriving, and the guest flow looked to increase while we ate. that said, the restaurant remained efficient, and accomadated everybody well. and further, i'd like to note a main appeal of the restaurant for me is it's variety of seating options, including tables, booths, and outdoor patio seating, all with centralized ordering from a walk-up counter.

I have been here before, and it was nothing to write home about. Today was quite a pleasant experience. Our service was great. I tried their new pecan berry salad, and it was wonderful. This was a very clean establishment, as well.

King club sandwich with yellow potato salad
Daniel T.

Visited McAlister's deli near 21st and yale. I had a great experience and the food was amazing! It's always a great sight to see a restaurant full of people. I ordered the king club with the potato salad. The club sandwich was nothing short of a king sized sandwich... at times I didn't know if my big mouth was big enough to take a full bite of this king club sandwich. The potato salad was the perfect texture and even though I prefer a white potato salad, but McAlister's Deli potato salad is the bomb!!! Check this place out and check out the pics!!! Cleanliness: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Size of my sandwich: 11/10

I had the half and half combo. I had the Cuban and chicken salad. It was excellent and I loved the meal.

Mushy not so fresh lettuce
Jaime B.

I used to live near this McAllister's so I visit often. I would have given it five stars or year ago, but my take-out order wasn't the best. I ordered the Savannah salad to go, but there was so much more lettuce and less everything else (cucumbers, cheese, etc) that it was not a very good. However, the chicken in the salad at McAllister's always taste so good! Also, there was a mushy lettuce pieces. I don't think it was very fresh. On a good note, the girl who checked me out was super friendly. And the food was ready as soon as I got there.

Outside

It had been a while since I visited McAllister, and I was recently needing to find a fast place with healthy-ish choices. So, I decided McAllister could be a good option! I don't know if it's just been so long since I was here last or if I just didn't notice before, but the menu was bigger than I remember, which made me super happy. It did take me longer than I thought it would take me to order because of that (and I think I was kind of annoying the cashier with not being ready with my order) but there was just such a good amount to choose from... I ended up going with the savannah salad and was extremely pleased with it. It was a good amount of mixed greens at the bottom, blue cheese, honey almonds, and a generous amount of grilled chicken. There may have been some other things in there but I don't think I remember, and those things I mentioned were the standouts anyways. Maybe dried cranberries? The flavors worked together extremely well and I especially loved the sweetness that the honey almonds gave... even the bleu cheese had a nice honey sweetness to it, I thought at least. The dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette and came in a little cup on the side. I liked that they did that because it let you decide how much or little dressing you wanted. Sometimes I feel like places skimp you on the salad dressing, but I don't feel like they did here. It was maybe a bit thicker creamier than others. It was nice. That may have also helped make it go longer and not run out as fast. Because I was so pleasantly surprised by my salad, I'm sure I'll be coming back more often for that same salad again and to maybe try some other things too!

I had to take a picture with a McAlisters girl! They are all so cute with their headbands on FREE TEA DAY!

Gross sandwiches. Taste like something you would get from an airport - mushy and cold.

Fabulous! This was my second time dining here and it was perfection. We had the fried chicken and…read moredumplings and the farmer's pie along with deviled eggs. The servers were delightful and atmosphere - on point. Dining options were upstairs or you could dine on the main floor in the grocery area. Both were great options.

What a great experience. We had a friend visit recently and he told us we must go as soon as we…read morewere able. We sat upstairs (which I would recommend for dinner). Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

I kept going back & forth between 4-5 stars and the reason it was 5 was because of the customer…read moreservice. As the sandwiches are listed on the menu, you're asked (at the register) if you'd like whatever fixings that go with the sandwich. I got the Turkey and Cheese with lettuce & pickles, I added jalapeños & jalapeño sauce. I liked the creamy Italian sauce too. The sandwich was stacked. Plenty of turkey, plenty of lettuce, plenty of pickles and jalapeños. The sauce was there and wasn't an overload, just the right amount. The sandwiches come in small or large & I'm glad I got the small. The combos come with chips and a drink, they have one of my favorite chip brands, Miss Vickie's (Spicy Dill Pickle is an automatic pick for me). I wish I got the name of the dude who took my order. He was super cool, laid back & nice. He asked me if it was my first time in & I said yes (I always ordered pickup) and got to choose between the 3 cookie options they had for free. Their oatmeal raisin cookie doesn't taste like your average, see for yourself. *Side Note: Did Bill & Ruth's specialize in mainly cold sandwiches? The reason why I ask is because I never remembered being offered between wanting my sandwich cold or hot.*

This sandwich was great, it was prepared quickly, staff were attentive and friendly. When they…read moreheard it was my first time in they gave me a free cookie. They also have a drive through! I'm glad I went here rather than a big chain and I will definitely be back!
