McAlister’s Deli

Great sandwich shop. Huge menu with lots of options that looked great. We ordered a french dip and a southwest turkey melt both of which were tasty options. The fruit cup was fresh as a side option also. Service was great and we had people checking on us even though it’s a faster food kind of place. Would absolutely eat here again.

This place was hoppin today. Long line but the staff moved it quickly and they were very friendly and attentive. I had the new Yorker and it was phenomenal. My only issue that kept me from giving another star was the portion of Mac and cheese. You pay $ 1.99 and they only fill the little to go side dish a third of the way. Or in other words, two bites and it was gone.

Had a business meeting here one day thinking it would be a decent place to eat. Decent is being generous. It wasn’t any better than ok. Flavorless and over-​processed. Clean and friendly, to be sure, but not worth the money.

Hello fellow Unilocalers this review is on the McAlister’s Deli in Grand Junction Colorado and first of all I have to say is that I’m very disappointed in the lack of portions that you used to get these portions used to be pretty decent now they’re starting to scale back, I actually had to order a half order of something else that I’ve order before on top of what I used to get and the sweet tea is a hit or miss. it’s not really consistent and I normally get the spicy Southwest chicken griller with no corn relish and it’s not tasting consistently the same every time its the missing something and I normally don’t put some salt or pepper on my food at all and they’re sweettea used to be really good but normally its not sweet enough or too sweet were you can’t even drink it and if its too sweet you have tonlet the ice melt to even it out.

I have been looking for a tasty sandwich in Grand Junction and this is that place! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The service is excellent and the employees check on customers throughout their meal. The sandwiches have a great balance of sauces and ingredients. The Spicy Southwest Chicken Griller and the Southwest Turkey are very tasty. For sides: the potato salad is flavorful, the pasta salad is bland but is comparable to pasta salad from other restaurants. Would highly recommend this place for lunch or a quick sit down dinner with the family.

I have been here twice now. Both times I ordered soup both times it was barely warm. I also ordered stuffed potato both times which was barely warm. Each time they forgot to being everything we ordered (only 2 people). Won’t waste my time or money

Excellent food, impeccable service and employees that go above and beyond. Wish we had one of these places back home!

The food is ok and the service is lacking. One day we waited over an hour for a call-​in order. Then when we got the order it was all wrong. The food is also never fresh. The portions are not very big and why does everyone wait so long to get their food? If their service improves so will my rating.

All I ever eat here are the salads, but all my friends who have sandwiches really enjoy them as well. The app makes ordering easy and quick for pick up in order to maximize social time talking with friends rather than putting in the order and waiting. So relaxed atmosphere not too loud, and comfortable.

This is a solid place to come grab a meal. French dip and the big nasty are both good. She liked her BLT, but it is better untoasted or it is too hard.
Unsweetened tea is very good here.
The pick two menu makes the variety great.

We love this place! We can sit outside with our dogs and everyone is always so friendly and the food is great! What more could you ask for!!!

Decent and quick food, but over priced. Their menu is too big. Which could be good or bad depending on your opinion.
The cashiers were curt and fairly useless. When asked what salad was the best she said «I don’t like any of the food here.»
Also, when they messed up my mom’s order who has a sever mold allergy (aka gorgonzola and blue cheese) they just re-​did her sandwich. Seriously, we had to run to Walgreens to get her allergy meds because it was messing with her beathing.
They apologized, but that’s it.
The kids liked their mac and cheese. My Savannah salad was tasty and fresh. My husband liked his Reuben sandwich. Overall a mixed experience. So when you eat here be cautious.

Food has been hit or miss of late. Sometimes it’s good, some times it’s just so so.
Still a great place to go to for lunch and the outdoor seating is nice.

McAlister’s atmosphere and food were highlights for me. It is a pretty big place with a lot of room so people aren’t too bunched up. It seemed like it constantly had a line, but people got their orders through fairly quickly and the employees were courteous. Food was delicious! I got the Cobb Club and mashed potatoes on the side and it was really yummy. I saw quite a few things I want to try here so I will definitely be back.

Love McAlister’s Deli’s broccoli cheese soup and french dip! Always very tasty. This one was very busy at lunch time so it took quite awhile to get my food but I think that was due to the volume. A busy place is always a good sign. Customer service was moderate.

Great iced tea… and that unfortunately is where it ended. I have a muffuletta sandwich and they were real skimpy with everything. My wife’s sandwich same thing, skimpy amount of meat for the price. I can make a better sandwich at home.

Great spot for a quick lunch. Service here has always been great. My mother really enjoyed the soup of the day and i liked the vegetarian chili on a spud.
Vegan tip: The vegetarian chile on the spud minus the cheese (Spud Olé, i think) is pretty tasty but you may want to order onions, salsa, tomatoes, or something because it was a tad dry.

We walked in needing to feed a party of 10. Marcus was super helpful and was able to pack up 10 box lunches for us pretty quick. Even though they usually require 24 hrs notice he was super accommodating and friendly. Thank you so much Marcus!

First off, I’m a fan of places with soups, sandwiches, and salads, so any review of places that has all three (plus carrot cake, in this instance), is going to be slightly biased towards unabashed love, in general. I play favorites with my food choices, I’ll admit it. I’m not ashamed.
So McAlister’s is apparently a chain, though all the cities in which I’ve lived outside of Reno have not been large enough to have decent chain restaurants (read: something other than Taco Bell, Sonic, or McDonald’s), so I wasn’t aware of that fact, and had never been to one of the other restaurants as a result.
I have to say, though, I am a fan of this one. They have a nice selection of sandwiches, available grilled or not, with all kinds of goodies on top. I ended up getting a roast beef with horseradish and cheddar that was pretty good grilled, with the vegetable soup, which was very, very good, and some carrot cake for dessert, which was surprisingly tasty. (I say surprisingly, because I’m a bit of a cream cheese frosting snob, so if the carrot cake doesn’t have a homemade style frosting, I am not a fan. This one definitely had a decent homemade, thicker rich taste, so I got my cream cheese frosting fix for the day. In fact, they could have just given me a tub of the stuff, and I would have been as happy as a dog getting it’s belly rubbed.)
The servers are basically all college-​age kids, but they all are extremely helpful and polite, and offer free refills while you sit (the iced tea is awesome), along with busing the table for you when you’re finished. Really, a nice touch, since you wouldn’t expect that in a place that serves you from an ordering bar area and doesn’t wait the tables. I was really, really happy with the service, because, let’s face it, who doesn’t like someone else to get you more to drink and take away your garbage for you, all with a smile?
Definitely going back here again on my next visit to Grand Junction. And definitely getting more carrot cake.

I’ve been coming here since they opened right down the street from me. The staff is perky and cheerful because they’ve been trained that way, but I’m OK with that. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table when it’s ready. I usually get a sandwich a side and tea. I’ve had the muffeleta, the rueben and just tried my son’s favorite, the new smoky pepper jack. Everything tastes fresh and is well made. It’s crowded with business types at lunch, but the place is well run so you can get in and out quickly if you need to. The sweet iced tea tastes like the real thing from down south, and they offer free refills. If you’re tired of lunching with people in dirty jeans, trucker hats and t-​shirts, this spot may lift your spirits. One of my favorite lunch spots.
