Sandwich
Jay H.

Our first time stopping in and really was impressed! Restaurant was open and bright and very clean. Loved the bar top area! (Could see myself coming in to do work on my laptop there) Service and employees were quick and friendly, brining the food right to your table and checking in to get us a refill without asking! Food was great as well. Ingredients were fresh and the bread was nice and soft, just the way I like it. I will say the Mac and cheese could use a little work though, but not bad. I think this will be our new sandwich place!

French Dip
Christine B.

I wasn't sure what to expect from McAlister's but everything here was a pleasant surprise. I tried out the Choose 2 option, picking a half of a French Dip sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was decent but the sandwich was extra good, with its soft yet crispy bun and Swiss cheese. The beef was good quality and the au jus was just right - not too salty. I enjoyed my lunch and wish we had this deli in Arizona.

Strawberry Lemonade
Jane N.

Banana Cream Butterscotch Pie is the perfect treat for the summer! Light, not too sweet, and a delicious crust. I always get iced tea - instead tried the Strawberry Lemonade and it was a refreshing treat. The app is easy to scan your rewards code. This was my first time inside the restaurant and it is so nice! Please be patient with new staff that are learning

Reuben and The McAlister's Club, McAlister's Famous Tea
Sarah S.

Didn't have any expectations going in, we were not familiar with the chain. The dining area was clean and comfortable. The drink size is huge! I saw they had world famous sweet tea. It was quite good I would like to try it with lemon. Overall I'm not sure I can say it's a whole lot better than Chick-fil-A. The big disappointment was the Reuben. Cut in half and only one side of it had cheese, sauce and sauerkraut. Now you can say that is poorly cut sandwich. But these prices aren't super low so all of the sandwich needs to have all the stuff. They also charged for water. Maybe that was on the sign? but it caught us off guard. And I'm a little confused for the need to do that around here. I'm giving it three because I would go back and give them another go. A fun variety to their menu and our food was tasty.

Sweet McAlister's Famous Tea with peach added
Jessica G.

My first time at McAlister's Deli and I will be sure to be back! The pick-two was the perfect size. I was full but not overly full. I also tried the sweet tea but added peach to mine. It was awesome to be able to try it free for signing up for the app! The food came out pretty quickly and the staff was super friendly. We had both ordered sour cream for our potatoes but had to request it because they forgot - which wasn't a big deal at all since we were dining in. I gave 4/5 stars just because it wasn't anything that I would really crave, but it is a nice option for lunch! I liked the crisp, fresh taste of my wrap and would for sure order it again. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Service terrible. Food mediocre. Too many other options for dining. Hard pass. Subway or Jersey Mikes or even Panera is better.

The New Yorker has to be the best sandwich in the Grand Rapids area. It is my favorite. The baked potatoes are also wonderful.

Always a great meal at McAlister's. I, especially, love their Ultimate Nachos. Best nachos around! It's our go-to place after church.

The food is so good at McAlister's! My husband loves it and he's picky. He likes the spicy chicken sandwich. I like the reuben. Yum!

Wow!! This is about to be my new go-to spot for sandwiches and subs. Fresh Coast has been on my…read moreradar for a while now and I'm so glad I finally checked them out! I ordered over the phone for pickup at prime lunch time on a Thursday. They had quite a few people in there when I arrived but they are quick and efficient at moving through the line and my food was ready to go already when I got there. I ordered the Three Rivers Club (which comes with a pickle spear and a choice of side: pasta salad, coleslaw, or a bag of chips. I opted for the pasta salad) for lunch and also ordered the Greektown Salad to have for dinner. The sandwich was FANTASTIC. It has capicola, turkey, pepperoni, pesto, provolone, tomato, and spinach on wheat bread and is served hot! It was a great portion size and literally so filling for lunch. I can't wait to have it again and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The pasta salad side cup it comes with is house made and very tasty as well. The salad was also a great portion size and is so fresh. I love how it is served/displayed in the box. Made me want to take a picture right away because it looked so pleasing! They have a long list of dressings you can choose from but of course I opted for Greek dressing. Their menu is extensive but their prices are very fair for the quality and amount of food you are getting. I can't wait to come back and work my way through the menu!

When I was in this area for a doctor appt I searched Yelp for healthy gluten free options for lunch…read moreand this place had great reviews! It didn't disappoint- huge fresh menu! My only complaint is I asked for No Tomatoes on my order & it had tomatoes easy enough to pick off tho. Wish there were a few more veggie options but I would come back here in the future

The burger came in about 20 min after ordering as a solo. The burger tasted very good, bacon was super tasty, and the burger was very big and juicy, you could easily have leftovers. The fries were good and didn't need any sauce to pair with it. Definitely recommend this unassuming deli, will be back.

I had read on a Facebook group about best Burgers in Grand Rapids that O'Briens was a couple of peoples favorite burger. I ordered the Rodeo Burger ($17). This is a burger with fried onion rings, bacon, lettuce, tomato, chipotle bbq, ranch dressing & melted Vermont cheddar cheese. The burger was good, but nothing special. The burger itself was tasty enough, but a little meh. The onion ring was very good, the veggies were fresh, the Chipotle Bbq sauce was meh. Overall an above average burger that hits the spot, but you won't have dreams of it. It came with a ton of excellent fries though. I couldn't eat them all, but I wanted too. The service was super friendly and very efficient. Kept my drink nice and full, I appreciate that. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, but I would try something else.

I thought the reviews were great and gave the place a shot, holy hell!!!!! The best damm sub I ever…read moreate!!!! Hands down, bar none. I loved it so much I had it for dinner 2 nights in a row! And I recommend going ROUGE version highly I mean stratospherically high! I travel around and love a good sub, but after this one......... nothing will compare and I feel I will have none meet or exceed it's quality or taste. Like the old saying goes "When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer." Plutarch. Did you ever feel like Alexander the Great, after you reached a goal in life and saw no new one? And I feel like Alexander for the place is 3 hours away drive time one way. And I can never find that in my area, so as I close out this review with tears forming in my eyes, if your travels takes you to Grand Rapids, Michigan, like Shia LaBeouf stated so eloquently" Just Do It"!!!!!!! The #19 With pickles and tomatoes ,light lettuce and have it made ROUGE!! I guarantee you will love it!
