McAlister’s Deli

If you’re looking for a sandwich to get your nosh on, give McAlister’s a try.
I like their «Choose 2» combo, because their Tortilla soup is tasty (you can get a salad and half sandwich if you prefer, but then you’d be wrong, because… the Tortilla soup)
Current fave for the half sammy is the Horseradish Roast Beef and Cheddar — the Four Cheese grilled cheese is another. Give the Reuben a miss, and I didn’t really dig the Ham and Cheese Toastie — the Dijonnaise was a bit overpowering.
The staff is very friendly, which makes it that much nicer to visit.
Nice place to grab lunch.
(Does anyone else get static-​shock from the cup when you’re drinking water there? That’s an oddity of McAlister’s that makes me chuckle just about every time).

The spuds and sodas are wonderful! Their menu is fun. From soups to salads to huge Texas size spuds with yummy things inside this place rocks! Try a spud with bacon & cheese or veggies. I am in love with them both. This place was a must go to because we have these in my home town of Memphis Tenn and I needed a fix of a Tx spud!

this place is revolting at best. The only reason I can imagine people giving it good ratings is because it’s cheap. My 4 year old wouldn’t even eat her food (and I got her 2 options cause it was so cheap.” It’s corporate food done badly. Blah!

We come here for lunch all the time and we love it! The iced tea is fresh brewed and I love the huge cups– great value. We use their punch cards and get free stuff all he time because we are here about once a week. My husband really likes the French dip with mashed potatoes, I usually get a French dip with veggies. Our daughter also enjoys the kids meal– it’s a great deal and comes with Mac and cheese, teddy grahm crackers and apple sauce! If you use the check in feature on the Unilocal app they will give ou a free cookie!

Loved it here! The staff is really friendly and the food is amazing and pretty cheap for the quality you’re getting!

great place and great food

Great food and customer service here. Looking forward to a return visit, since they are right around the corner from the house.
P. s. don’t forget the free cookie upon Unilocal check in!

I come here a lot as it’s not far from work and the food is pretty good. I always order the same thing and usually don’t have a problem, but I have had an issue with my order being wrong on two occasions in the last month or so. I get the grilled chicken Caesar wrap with the dressing on the side, and one of those times I had picked up my order and brought it back to my office and they put the dressing on the wrap which ended up making it sopping wet with dressing (which is why I always get it on the side), I just couldn’t eat it. When I called, the manager was more than willing to actually bring a new sandwich to my office. I was impressed with the fact that he cared enough to go out of his way to do this. Today, I placed my usual order and went to pick it up. The manager knows my name now, and I saw him personally check this time to make sure there was no dressing already on the wrap. My guess is that he was just focusing on that one thing, he didn’t realize there was no chicken on it. I get it back to my office, no chicken. When I call, I tell them it’s fine, I can eat this, I just would rather have a refund than have him come down here with a new sandwich again. He apologized profusely, refunded my card, and about 15 minutes later shows up at my office with a gift card «if I decide to try them again». This is customer service, and other companies and restaurants in the area should follow this same sort of model. I can’t praise the manager’s actions enough for showing how much he cares and wants to keep me as a customer. For this, I’ll keep coming back. Thank you for making me feel valued!

So I used to go to McAlisters Deli to eat 4 – 5 times a week. Love the sweet tea. I stopped going.

Wow! I ordered our deli sandwiches using their app on my iPhone. It was simple and easy to place my order and pay for it. My husband picked it up. The service was excellent. I ordered their ice tea which they are famous for. The food was fresh and very tasty. I would highly recommend this deli to anyone looking for something different from all of the other delis that are out there. They stand apart because they have a menu that is filled with choices and lets you customize your order. I would have taken a picture, but we inhaled it so maybe next time. I am going to have them cater my 50^th birthday coming up. Prices are reasonable.

We regularly order take out salads. I have had to resort to checking to make all of the ingredients have been added. Many times one or more items will be missing. Does’t seem to be a concern when brought to the staff’s attention. Wish there was a Panera Bread in the area.

I love this place for lunch!
Green tea is amazing (yes, it’s sweetened with Splenda)!
Their menu is a bit large, but when you find your lunch combo you will not deviate! I love the strawberry salad and grilled chicken on wheat. Their chicken tortilla soup is awesome too.
Ordering is ordinary, but the wait staff is attentive and the food comes out pretty fast.
Love that they play all the current sports on the tele’s! Go Pats!

In this deli… it is not the meat that will win you over. so choose wisely. Any chain that serves Butterball turkey in all sandwiches clearly has their eyes on the budget and big picture because that brand is worse than Boars Head which is my low end turkey cutoff point. I steered clear of all turkey and ended up with a sandwich on ciabatta that just included chicken strips, sharp cheddar cheese and the star of the meal — peach chipotle sauce. It was that sauce that gave me the sweet and a bit of spice and really took those basic ingredients to the next level. If you check-​in, you will receive a free cookie and it was a serviceable version of the choc. chip variety. None of the sides are homemade, so I was forced to go with a bag of Doritos as my side dish. Shout out to the staff though as they quickly turned the Dbacks game on their lone TV and they were friendly too. It’s two stars, but I would go back and get that lone sandwich again if necessary. Drink machine does not to be behind counter either, that ended about 15 years ago.

One star for the two bites of food I ate. The turkey melt was inedible with hardened cheddar, gloppy mayo and bread I could barely cut through and the Mac & cheese was cold. Never again.

Wanted to try something new by our home for a Sunday lunch and I am sad to say that I will never be going back to this place ever again. I ordered a Southwest Cobb salad and it was more of a cheese salad, I have never seen so much shredded cheese in my life, the lettuce was wilted and had Guacamole that I am certain came from a bag. This place is everything I hate with corporate restaurants, pretty much just manufactured food that taste like crap. I’ll be sticking with restaurants that take pride in what they serve.

Was excited to go back — last visit had a club sandwich. Very good. This time, however, two of us ordered — one the Horseradish Roast Beef & Cheddar —
Black Angus roast beef with sharp cheddar, caramelized onions and horseradish sauce on ciabatta bread. He shared half of his with me, and I shared half of my California Turkey Reuben — smoked turkey, coleslaw, Swiss and Thousand Island dressing on toasted rye. I had the better deal. Not over the top in flavors — but a great taste — coleslaw was a little too sweet for me but not bad. His, however, was «ok» — just lacked flavor. Beef was bland, couldn’t taste any horseradish or onions. Oh well. Previous visit and had the McCalister’s club. Very good. I’ll be back… but choose differently next time.

I like the food here. I don’t normally eat here though. But my favorites are the chicken tortilla soup & spud max!
I drive all the way up here from Mesa for the tea! I am addicted! I call it my crack! I used to drink it more regularly when I lived in Indiana as there were many more convenient locations. Hopefully there will be one in Mesa/​Tempe sometime soon!

McAlister’s gets a 5 when you order their Reuben. Consistency every time! Casual and friendly. I don’t think you can get a better Reuben for the price. The side selection is awesome and it also comes with a ¼ deli pickle. My favorite is the potato salad. Note: They have no problem adding coleslaw on the sandwich with the sauerkraut — I think its better that way. I’ve gotten other sandwiches here and if I was rating on those I’d drop it to a 4 personally, stick to the Reuben if its your first visit! They added cheesecake to the menu recently — it’s pretty good (enough for 2 to wrap up a meal) and it comes in under $ 5.

This place was great. We stopped in for lunch and the word is out because the place was packed. The ice tea was great and I loved being able to chose a half sandwich and a half potato. They were both huge and I couldn’t finish. I got the club sandwich and while hard to eat because of its size the ingredients were fresh and I really liked the Russian mustard. My spud was good too, I got the cheese and chicken one and it really hit the spot.
I would try to avoid this place during prime time lunch rush (12 – 2:00pm) as it took a while to get our food, but it was worth the wait.
You get a free cookie when you check in!

HUGE FREAKN SALADS!!! thats honestly all i remember about going.
I got a sandwich there, it was pretty good. I remember feeling hungry afterwards though. Wish the sandwiches there were a bit bigger.
