Better than it used to be. Still not enough food the the price. When I eat there, I leave still hungry.

I have not been to McAlister's Deli in years. When we went to a funeral in Tupelo for our co-worker's mom, we stopped here to get something to eat. I got a Black Angus Club with fruit and lemonade. The place was clean and we got a seat easily. After about 6 or so minutes, the head manager came up to my co-worker and said they had run out of pork. They offered to put chicken on his potato and he said okay. I thought my meal was good - had great flavor and the fruit was nice and cold. My co-workers liked their food too. We may not be back to this location because the four of us were coming from out-of-town for the funeral. However, if we are passing through Tupelo, we will come back. read more

McAlister's Deli - Empty plate from Black Angus Club and fruit - Delis Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

online ordering would not allow same day pickup. WTF would you do online order without letting same day pickup.

We have one back at home and it's always full with meat and hearty sandwiches and amazing piled nachos. This is French dip. All the food was lacking compared to other McAlister's we've been to. Super disappointed. Great service. Friendly workers. Clean place but the food was just - well shocking. read more

Met a friend at McAllisters Deli for lunch. I had a Cuban sandwich & broccoli. Service was very quick & everyone was so kind. The ambiance was casual, spotlessly clean & the meal was superb! read more

I haven't been to McAlister's in years. I got the Rueben sandwich with tomato and cucumber salad. The sandwich was really good put the tomato and cucumber wasn't my favorite. Everyone does it different and this wasn't for me. Next time I will just get chips. The restaurant was pretty quiet when we came but it was also raining that day. The staff was nice but after we orders they just stood around staring at my mom and I. I asked if I had something on my face or something, I didn't, so that was a bit off putting. read more

I picked up Honey barbecue nachos for dinner while staying at the hospital with my husband. They were packaged perfectly so that the chips were fresh and crunchy. Plus, it was exactly what I ordered. It was ready when I arrived and served with a smile! Great job!!! read more

I love McAlister's, however for as long as they've been around d they have a taco salad! ( yum) my favorite! A few years ago it disappeared from the menu but was told it was still Available! Just have to ask! Yea! 4-5 weeks ago came in to eat and had my favorite taco salad! Came in last week, girl at register said no taco salad and have never sold taco salad! WHAT!!!!!!! Please tell me you have it and please inform cashiers! read more

We went to McAllister's after church today and our food and service were great!! I ordered the French Dip and it was warm and delicious, while my husband ordered the Spud Max!! They were both great!! The people that work there were so nice and helpful!! read more

Wow. What a disappointment. I used to LOVE this place, but after today, I don't think I'll ever come back. The food is good, sure, but the service is downright atrocious. I had a takeout order, and the experience was pure chaos. First off, there were so many people up front, but somehow only ONE person was actually taking orders--but switching between workers so randomly that it was impossible to tell what was going on. The girl who checked me out (blonde wig, patting it constantly) was beyond rude. After paying for my meal, she just stared at me like I was supposed to read her mind. When I pushed for clarity, she essentially laughed in my face. She told me my name would be called, and I figured, fine, I'll wait. Even though I was on time. Well, 30 minutes went by as I sat RIGHT in front of them, and not a single person came to check on me or update me on my order. The entire front area was a disorganized mess with no leadership, no communication, and no respect for customers' time. It felt like no one had a clue what they were doing. Such a shame because the food here is great, but clearly, the staffing and management issues have destroyed this place. If you value good service, don't bother wasting your time. This place is not worth the frustration. read more

My wife called in an order from a parking lot nearby and picked it up at the drive through. When she ordered, it connected her to the automated order placement service, not an employee. It asked if she wanted sides with each sandwich and she confirmed. Then asked if she wanted a pickle with each sandwich and she also confirmed. The restaurant charged 3% for a phone in order and then left off both pickles. Charge you more, give you less. I guess It's the McAlister's way. read more

Me and my boyfriend ordered food...it took two different people to talk to to order about? I checked the bag...it was wrong...not too sure who this to go girl was on March 4th at 6:30....she had the worst attitude, the worst personality, ....and at the the end I still said thank you....and she had no freaking response ...I mean, if you hate your job, why work there?? The question of the day is that. It was ABSOLUTELY RUDE! read more

Patio area had several plates on tables. When we tried to place our order at counter, employee was EATING chips! He never spoke to us, just looked at us. He way over filled my drink, coke was coming out around the straw area, ended up spilling coke on floor. He rang my order in wrong, I received the wrong order. Very disappointing!!! read more

The service from the lady taking order was ridiculous. She was so rude and had an extremely bad attitude. read more

Potatoes are mediocre ....only thing I like is their butter pecan cheesecake. Food is very bland. No flavor at all.

The food was good service good . But manager Rude the way he talked to employees was terrible. Ron needs a refresher course in how to talk to people. Everyone in Restraunt could here him hollering at employees it was worse than an annoying crying child. read more

Was in McAllister's on Friday. Food was good and workers were all very nice. Manager Ron was very rude to his workers, which I didn't like. He would scream out at them even though they were all doing their best. I understand he wanted the food gotten out, but there was no call for his rudeness. read more

Great; Fresh; Taste Amazing. Fantastic Hospitality. Peaceful atmosphere. Speedy service. Adequate preparation; exquisite Presentation.

Great diverse menu from hot and cold sandwiches, at least 5+ soups a day, salads, pasta dishes - A local "Panara Bread" establishment. The Savannah Chopped salad with grilled chicken, Gorgonzola, cucumbers, tomatoes, roasted almonds and a shallot sherry dressing. I had the grilled chicken spud, a huge baked potato with grilled chicken, Jack cheese and tomatoes. I needed the carbs, so this huge spud delivered, I had to tAke half of it home for lunch the next day. The chicken was seasoned well, with hints of rosemary, garlic. The spud was baked well and delicious, with a side of sour cream. Great local deli with hot and cold sandwiches, soups, desserts and great service. read more

I've always had a pleasant experience at this restaurant and have ordered to-go several times over the years, but today, I didn't have a pleasant experience at all. I called trying to place a to-go order several times with no answer. I figured they were just busy as it was lunch time, so I called again for the 3rd time, and finally a guy answered the phone. I asked to place a to-go order, and was quickly, and rudely, answered with a "Well, you've got 20 people in front of you." Okay, and?? What does that even mean? That I can't place an order? Or that there's no need to? I frankly didn't know how to respond to that and just got off the phone. I understand that everyone is short-staffed and overwhelmed, but that is extremely bad customer service, and frankly pissed me, a customer that's given this place a lot of my money, off. read more

Everything that I have tried at McAlister's Deli is excellent, especially the potato salad

Good food....on par with all other McAlister's and so it seems they have the same inattentive service too. I had to give my order three times and wait the extra time while the staff had to have the manager come back to void out the first two mistakes they made. You can get good food at most chain restaurants but service as of late is really poor and this place only gets two stars for that reason. read more

Since they moved into their new location, everything has been on pointe! Great food, clean, and service is top notch!

LOVE McAlister's! Service is always on point. It is always clean. The staff is friendly and they check in on you after receiving food.

Not impressed. At all. I came here for the spud max & they're completely out of potatoes! What in the?!

Awesome place to eat. Love the new Location and service is fast and great. King club and nachos is my favorite.

This McAlister's service & food were awful! The Sicilian sandwich aka fancy grilled cheese took 15 minutes for them to bring out - my colleagues were practically finished with their lunch before the grilled cheese was ready - THEN it wasn't even hot!! needless to say - I won't be back - good thing I don't frequent Tupelo often. read more

Just had a terrible experience at the McAlister's in Tupelo, MS. Even though I ordered a Mcalister's club without mayonnaise, and observed a guy in the kitchen verbally tell the person preparing the sandwich, "No mayonnaise," I was served the sandwich with mayonnaise. After the sandwich was returned to the counter for correction, it was given back to me the second time still incorrectly prepared. Not only did the sandwich appear sloppy in presentation with very little lettuce, the sandwich now had bacon, which was also to he omitted. read more

The service here is AWFUL...I placed my order at 5:42 and just received it at 6:46. They were full of excuses and one worker was very impatient and unconcerned. This is the second time I've experienced such terrible service here. read more

I was just passing through Tupelo on my way to Georgia. We were staying at a hotel. I called to place a order, and this sweet young man advised if I wanted, just come to there location and pick up the to go order it would be quicker. So I get there, it was clean, and pleasant atmosphere. The workers was friendly. That same young man that answered the phone offered to carry my food out to the car for me. Honestly being really tired from traveling and in a unfamiliar town it was such a nice offer. I accepted. The food was amazing! Perfectly cooked. I appreciate the hospitality and the good food. read more

Ordered a salad for $9 to go. I waited 45 minutes for it and eventually just left because I had to get back to work. Cool place with a good menu but it's very chaotic and unorganized. I will never return. read more

Great food and everyone is friendly. Love sitting on the patio. The French dip is awesome...I will admit they are a little expensive, but honestly its worth it. read more

Not worth the money. It's a little over priced for what you get. Thought I'd give them a second try today especially being new here and missing Jimmy Johns but I am highly unsatisfied and still hungry. read more
