    Side salad.  Nice bacon crumbles.
    Bob J.

    This is a tiny space in a strip mall with hard to see signage. Be careful or you will miss it! Started with a side salad. Iceberg lettuce, but abundant bacon crumbles which were good. Croutons and dressing good as well. Fairly large but over $5? Quesadilla spud large with chicken, onions, Bell peppers, butter and sour cream. Piping hot and a really solid meal. Unlike one prior reviewer, I found the sweet tea fine but not spectacular. Steady stream of to-go orders indicate I am not alone in liking the food. Now the price, including a 15%tip, was $26! Yikes. If I could have made 2 meals out of it that would have helped justify the cost but it wasn't THAT big. Minus a star for value. Clean place, helpful server and moderately numerous parking spots in the tiny Mall's lot. Right by Texas State campus.

    This place is tiigghhht. Lol and as that I mean it was small inside. It started to get a little busy and we could all barely move around eachother when leaving. girl cashier was not very helpful or nice. Noticed she was nice and patient with others though.. potato was well cooked and tasted good with the hot wing in it. The burger had good flavor to it and fries were good . Mac and cheese was delicious! I recommend this place for lunch or dinner and to take to go! I do think it will be a little pricey as well.. they charge separately for pretty much everything.

    The baked potato are really good. They are Texas sized. They have a variety of baked potatoes, that will fill your appetite. Cashier made great recommendations. I ordered the chicken fried chicken baked potato. It came loaded with gravy, butter and Texas toast. The bread was toasted to perfection and crispy with lots of lots of butter. My wife ordered the hot wing ranch spud with homemade ranch. She said it was delicious, hot and spicy! Our child got the cheese ranch spud loaded with shredded cheddar cheese. With 3 drinks it was $35 with tax.

    Chili pie spud

    Best place ever. I will definitely be back a lot . I got the chili pie spud and it was so good. Highly recommend . So yummy and the chili is amazing. Everyone should eat here once

    I grew up eating McAlister's and have ordered the same Grilled Chicken Club since the early 2000s…read more It's a basic sandwich, but I seriously can't get enough of it! I could easily replicate the sandwich to save me some money (and a 25 min drive on a good day), but it's the nostalgia and tastiness that keeps me coming back. What it is: The Grilled Chicken Club is a simple, yet refreshing layered sandwich made with slices of wheat bread spread with dijon honey mustard and mayo, then stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and sliced grilled chicken. I can literally recite the exact ingredients from memory. The cookies are delicious, the sweet tea is spot on, and the soups are always solid. A cashier recently recommended me the lasagna soup from my regular chicken tortilla soup, and now I can't stop making my own version at home. If this McAlister's ever closes, I will be devastated!!! Unfortunately, this location does not serve mashed potatoes as a side, which is a bummer!!

    Tried again since it had been almost a year…read more Even worse service this go around. A to go order, so i wait at the labeled pick up area. I am neither greeted by the cashier on her phone, nor given any sign that orders are kept elsewhere. After almost 10 minutes, I see someone else go to the counter and ask where their order is. When i walk ip to do the same, we are told that they have a problem with theft so they keep everything behind the counter now. A practical solution a suppose. But a sign slob the aforementioned area, or maybe greeting the waiting customer, would be good additions.

Definitely avoids the crowds. We arrived and the place was maybe 1/3 full. They had a steady stream and even more take outs/food deliveries, so I knew the place was good. We just found a quite dark corner and tucked in. Started off with the A1. Shrimp & Pork fried egg roll. It was a perfect Vietnamese egg roll. You can definitely tell the national differences across the different countries and I think Vietnamese style are my favorite. Very tasty and I love the texture. We had a Blue Moon that is only second to Tsing Tao beer at an Asian restaurant. For the main course I went with the B5. Shrimp Stir Fry Noodle (Vermicelli) Bowl. It tasted very good! Glad I went with it. Next time I'll try a pork or beef. For some reason the tails are attached to the shrimp. I get it likely is much more flavorful and easier, but it is always awkward to dissect them when you are eating. I'm pretty nimble with chop sticks but I'm not a pro, so I just eat them with my hands with the tails on. But they tasted great! And the bowl was HUGE. I need to eat thru more of the menu and we will definitely be stopping by again to troll thru it.

" - Farmhouse This chicken salad is absolutely divine. It has simple elements and no unnecessary additives. The only thing that can be tasted in this chicken salad is a bit of mayo, red onion, lemon juice, and jalapeño. It requires no "extra" seasonings. I am not a big fan of mayo, but for those who are, they will find this salad is light on the mayo. I did add EVOO to the mix to spread the chicken salad across sourdough bread. Outside of this chicken salad, I've purchased various cuts of meat and cheese from this shop. Each item I've purchased here seems to be better than the next. #supportlocal

I'm sure why this place has high reviews on Google or Yelp. They did not do a good job on my order at all. I'm from Houston and I've had better falafels with full flavor, but I guess since this is San Marcos they know they can slack off. I know my Mediterranean food and usually the cuisine has a lot of good spices! I won't be coming back. It was disgusting! I now have to eat at a better restaurant to cover the disgust on my palate.
