We have been constant customers of McAllister's for years. More so under GrubHub these days…read more We have found that when placing our orders, they never seem to be correct. Of course, when the GH person picks it up, it is not their job to confirm the order is correct - just to pick it up & deliver it. I submit the orders myself on GH app so I know what I order. Pretty simple. Pickle. No Pickle. Cookie. 2 Cookies. Basic requests. If it is incorrect, I cant call GH for help or McAlister's as being elderly, all they want to do is give me a coupon I have to come in to pick up. If it was that easy to come in, I wouldve done so rather than order thru GH. What I end up doing is contacting GH & letting them know my order was not in full or missing something. They then give me a partial refund & the delivery person still has their tip. Reality says it's not GH's error to fix & pay for. Any thoughts on this as Im positive Im not the only customer this happens to.

Just kidding - NOTHING could prevent me from reviewing the bread pudding. It should be illegal to create something that incredibly tasty.

There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.

What we experienced was unacceptable, and I feel it's important to speak on it. When we entered, there was a woman cutting bagels and a male manager moving back and forth behind the counter. Neither of them greeted or acknowledged us. We initially gave the benefit of the doubt and assumed they were busy, so we took time to decide what we wanted to order. Still, no one spoke to us or asked if we needed assistance. While we stood there waiting, another couple came in, looked around, and ultimately left without being helped. Shortly after, an elderly couple entered, walked up to the counter, and were immediately greeted and assisted by the same employee who had ignored us. At that point, we were completely taken aback. Throughout this entire time, the manager continued walking back and forth without acknowledging us. When I finally spoke up, the woman looked directly at me and smirked. I then moved to the pickup counter and asked another employee for the general manager's contact information. She immediately smiled, called the manager over, and told us he would assist shortly. We could hear him complaining about being busy and not having time for this. When he came to the counter, I asked for the general manager's name and number. He did not ask how he could help or why we were requesting the information. His only response was, "The name is on the door of the restaurant." I took photos of the employee and the posted information on the door, then contacted Panera's customer service line (855-372-6371) to file a complaint and requested a return call. As of today, I have not received any response. I am sharing this because this type of behavior is unacceptable. I will no longer remain quiet or walk away from situations that feel unfair and discriminatory. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect--period.
