Came to give them a try but they closed almost 830 and not 10 like it said online and on the door

Finally came here with my son. The place was clean, and the staff was friendly. I really liked their menu options, so much more than just sandwiches. My son got the spicy Italian sub and I opted for something healthier. I ordered the veggie spud with cheese. IT WAS HUGE! It literally was two massive potatoes end to end and it was delicious. So definitely enough for two people. I had to take the other half home. My son said he had better but I'd like to come back and try some of their other menu items.

The Veggie with provolone

Love me some McAlister's Deli! I just so happen to be in Winston Salem and stopped by this location. I ordered from the app and did the curbside pickup option. Fast delivery and the person that brought it out was really nice. It was cold and raining and she still came outside with a smile. I'm really doing this review for the food. This was my first time ordering "The Veggie" and it was so good! And because I'm extra I customized it by adding provolone cheese and extra herb mayo. Love! "The Veggie" comes with cucumber, tomato, red onions, spinach, multicolored peppers and avocado. This sandwich is served on 9-grain bread, held together by a large toothpick. And now that I'm thinking about it I should have asked for a pickle. That would have set it off! This meal comes with a side so you can get Mac & cheese, potato salad, chips, fruit, etc. It does not come with a drink. The sandwich is big so you will definitely get full. If you're looking for a veggie option for lunch or dinner this is a great choice!

We were in High Point earlier this week and needed to have a quick lunch. We used to enjoy the McAlister's in Greensboro on occasion and decided to try this one. I agree with the other reviewers. It's unfortunately only average. I used to really like their iced tea but I found it to be very weak tea...way too watered down. I should have just ordered water with lemon. It would have been about the same at no cost. I ordered the Angus Club and my husband ordered the regular club. The Angus Club had a nice flavor but Ingredients were a little skimpy, in my opinion, based on club sandwiches I've had at other restaurants. In the picture it looks better but you can really see that every thing is piled up in the middle of the sandwich. The side of steamed broccoli was excellent. The side of fresh fruit was skimpy as well. What I really liked was the ability to seat yourself and order online. Just input your table number and pay. Great idea.

Paper in my sandwich

Great sandwich other than the paper in between the cheese & Turkey. Wasn't a fan of the mac and cheese side.

View of the menu, at least what I could fit of it

Another chain restaurant, and this one gets a thumbs up in my book! I have always been a fan of the variety of items in the menu that McCallister's offer up. All types of sandwiches, nachos, and even "spuds" or overloaded baked potatoes to break it down to simpler terms. I hit this place up around 2pm so I beat any lunch crowd that it may have had. It was nice, and quiet which I always liked. The lady up front greeted me with a smile, and took my order promptly. I went with my usual choice, the King Club which is double everything of what a McCallister's Club would have. Hand , turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, Colby jack cheese, mayo, and honey mustard all on toasted white bread. Yum! I am also fond of the sides you can choose from other than just your everyday chips. Their sides also include potato salad, Mac and cheese, a small cup of coup, or even a fruit cup. I went with the potato salad, and it was actually pretty good. Most places put too much mayo in their potato salad for me, but this place got it just right which was a pleasant surprise! The club was enormous and cut in halves with a toothpick stuck through each half because it was so thick of salivary goodness. I wasted no time devouring the sandwich as my belly was very satisfied! I got a refill of there popular lemonade before I left full and happy! I will definitely be back here hands down! *On a side note, they also have cookies, brownies and , rice crispy treats for dessert but I was too full to partake in any. They place has some of the cleaner bathrooms that I have seen in awhile, and no lie, it smelled like Fruit Loops in there. Also, one in my Yelp friends said in the "Tips" section, that this place had a sanitation grade of 90 which caught my eye, however, when I went in today it was a 97.5. Just thought I should let everyone know!

Horseradish Roast Beef & Cheddar on Ciabatta with caramelized onions! Side of Mac and cheese.

Food here is great but a bit expensive. Sandwiches come with a choice of 2 sides. Many options, all are great. Baked potatoes are immensely huge and loaded. Ice tea is refreshing, free refills! Staff is friendly and keep you topped off. All in all a great spot.

Best tea and chocolate chip cookies

I recommend the veggie half sandwich with a side of broccoli cheese soup. It's a nice casual place for families to eat.

Some interesting food choices at this little takeout only grill inside a Citgo service station next…read moreto Rose's Deli on University. I recently stopped at the station to fill up, and when I went inside I immediately notice the small grill area, with a cafeteria/steam table setup. They offer a limited number of entree items (plates or just the meats) including: Fried Chicken (1/4 with a Potato Wedges for $4.99), Fried Flounder (plate with 2 pieces of fish & Wedges for $5.99), Fried Chicken Liver (a small order, no side, $2.49), Fried Chicken Gizzards, Chicken BBQ, Buffalo Wings, Fried Chicken Drumettes, and even Corn Dogs. There is little offered here that even remotely approaches dietic - most meats are fried (and well fried), the only sides are Wedged Potatoes (yean, fried), and Mac & Cheese - no salads, or greens, or such. The Fried Chicken was excellent - well fried, well-seasoned. The Fried Flounder was no different. The small order of excellent Fried Chicken Livers was huge - a total bargain. The portion for the Wedged Potatoes is also large, and they are very, very good. If you want a tasty, inexpensive, takeout lunch, and calories are not a concern - this is a place you should consider. The fried food is very, very good, the prices are great, and the folks here are nice.

I only ever go here for gas unless I have the kids I nanny. They love to go through the car wash. It's a time killer and makes them happy- also they give discounts or free car washes depending on how much gas you put in your tank. I normally pay at the pump with credit, but the times I've gone inside to pay with cash I've enjoyed the clerks. Smiling and joking around is cool for me. I would much rather someone strike up a conversation than act like a robot. I've never had the food from their little grill thingy, but I see people eating from it all the time. Looks mostly like fried food, which I try to stay away from. And gas station food in general. Sorry I'm not sorry.

I kept going back and forth on what I wanted to rate this place, but I think 3 stars fits right. No apps were ordered, but I got the fried flounder and shrimp plate with the sweet potato casserole and fries. My wife got the pecan salmon dish (she swapped out the chicken fyi) & her sides were the same casserole and Mac n cheese. Starting with hers, the salmon was perfect....crispy skin that was seasoned very well. It didn't need the glaze that came with it honestly. Was also moist....honestly, it was the best thing we ate all night after I got a taste myself. For mines, the shrimp breader was tasty and the shrimp was cooked pretty decently...wasn't tough or overcooked. The flounder left alot to be desired. It was cooked quite well, but there wasn't any breader or seasoning for that matter.....no flavor at all. Their tartar sauce was decent too...it did taste like it may have been pre packaged, but it was good. The sweet potato casserole wasn't a casserole at all. It was basically sweet potato mash. Which isn't terrible and it tasted ok. However, I was expecting something completely different so that was a letdown. Their fries were good, however.....had some sort of seasoning salt flavor to them and they were crispy. My wife wasn't too fond of the Mac n cheese. In her words, it tasted like "microwaved pasta with cheese tossed on top". I didn't try it since I'm picky about Mac n cheese myself. I barely order it off anyone's menu so I dodged another disappointment with that one. Regarding the service, our waitress was ok. Nothing that honestly stands out. She was nice, but it seemed their whole wait staff may have been busy since it was dinner rush time. Their prices were decent too, esp in this day and age. All in all, if we do go back, I'd try different things. The place was packed and it appeared everyone was somewhat satisfied with their food. There wasn't much of an ambiance there. The place was pretty full....seemed more of a family style restaurant....it was also kinda cool how they had some sort of video games and stuff in a side room location. I'm not sure if they'll be added to the rotation, but we may consider them again just based on the salmon alone.
