We love this restaurant! Great staff and the food is always top notch. Highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal

I had a very bad experience, they always make orders wrong and when you tell them they get very upset and are very rude to you.

I love there food and there costumer service is perfect 1000000000000 out of 100 because the line may be long but the service is great people they are nice and friendly best place to eat read more

They are not consistent with their tea. You ask for sweet tea one minute the next minute you are getting unsweet. They don't pay attention or they just don't care. Not as good with their products as they used to be. What a shame. read more

McAlister's Deli - Unsweetened nasty tea - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I never even got a chance to order. There were five employees standing behind the register counter. I waited in front of the register waiting for someone to help me. No one came to the register. I brought this to a manager's attention. She said somebody will be with you shortly. She was one of the five people standing behind the register area. Absolutely horrible management. I was the ONLY customer standing in line. I decided to leave and go to a very nearby restaurant. read more

A nice place to meet up for lunch. Quick and plenty of options available. Pretty sure this place used to have a flatbread "pizza" loaded with olives, feta, peppers, and chicken. Also, the chef salad is a meal unto itself. Loaded with all the toppings and quite big. The sweet tea punch card was such the bonus. Those things are addicting read more

For the price of the food, this is literally the worst experience I've had at a restaurant, bathroom was gross no ice in the drinks and the food is easily something you could make at home when your feeling lazy, eat at your own risk but you will leave feeling robbed.this is the uptown abq McAlesters on the nice side of town. What a shame.... read more

McAlister's Deli - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Never going back. Used to be really good food, so we stopped in. I would have made a better sandwich at home, and the soup came cold. Don't bother. Super disappointing. read more

I give up with this place. For the last 6 months every time I go they are either short staffed and it takes forever to order or they've closed early. I went to their Uptown store and it's a Sunday and they closed at 2:00. I know there's a national staffing problem but IMO that's usually because an employer isn't a great place to work so they can't keep staff. Their ongoing staffing problem make me think I should just go to Jason's Deli instead, they aren't closed every other time I want to order a great sandwich. read more

First time here and last time here. Had to wait 39 min for a cold sandwich and salad. Than the two groups behind us got their food before us. Worst service in a long time for me. read more

I was pretty disappointed in my recent visit here. I ordered the BLT that came with avocado and specified no tomatoes. The order came and there was no avocado. My husband took my sandwich up and let them know. 10 to 15 minutes later I was given a bowl of avocado. That was quite a long wait for something that was forgotten. Then when I started on the second half of my sandwich, there were pieces of tomato on it. The first half didn't have any so I felt like they added tomato, realized it was supposed to be no tomato and tried to pick it off. I can't eat seeds of any sort due to diverticulosis, but what if I'd been allergic to tomato? People in food service should know better. My husband's sandwich was good and he really enjoyed it. Not sure that I'd return after this last visit. read more

Y'all really need to get it together.. I hate to leave a bad review because the food is so good! But this is the 2nd time I have ordered and something isn't right! I order through doordash because I have little ones. The first time I ordered they didn't have broccoli soup no big deal I can handle that.. this time a $60+ order and 1/2 is missing.. My kids drinks, my husbands chips and my drink was suppose to be 1/2 and 1/2 and it's definitely not! I understand it can be busy I also work in a restaurant but it's the little things that count also! Please be aware and double triple check if you have to to make sure the WHOLE order is ready for the dasher to take to the customer! read more

The food was great very fresh, very delicious The lemonade was soo good so that's definitely a plus I'd recommend read more

I used to love this place, but after today I will not be back. The full salad entree was basically the size of a side salad, the side for the sandwich was not included and a completely separate side was missing as well. There were only two entrees on my order and half the food was missing. Never again. read more

Use to be a busy busy restaurant with great customer service and yummy foods, but the last two times I've been there's only been a couple people even around lunch time and the Mac and Cheese tasted funny. The sandwich I got was good with a couple bites but then I got tired of eating it. I felt like I wasted my money a little while choosing to eat here. read more

Always good to lift your spirits with a great salad, sandwich and especially an ice tea. ( my favorite). Short on parking due to all the other stores so either you get lucky and find a spot or you get in a nice little walk. Either way it's a must try and definitely return visit. read more

Lately McAlister's has been a crap shoot for me. Meaning, one day it's good and another day not so good. Asked for no Mayo on my club, wait 45 minutes for my to go order, to get home and have a sandwich full of Mayo! And of course living on the Westside, I was not going to go back. Had to trash half my sandwich that had the Mayo. I will probably go back but not too soon. The iced peach tea was on point! read more

Sadly this will be our last visit to McAlister's at Uptown in Albuquerque, NM. Their app fails to work consistently, take out orders must be received in the same line as walk up orders resulting in your food being cold by the time you get it. We've brought this up to the workers before, but "we're understaffed" is no longer an acceptable excuse. read more

I cannot get enough of McAllisters Sweet Tea. T has to be one of the top 3 sweet teas in Albuquerque. I enjoy getting the French dip sub or the McAllisters Club. The soups are always a nice addition as well. Warm and tasty. I always feel like I had the right amount of food and never feel over stuffed or like a ate an unhealthy meal. The server who was helping out was very polite and sweet. She was informative about what was out and why could be substituted. The staff was very kind even though they are short handed. Their positive attitude was very impressive despite the situation. They have a variety of options and eve some desserts to select from read more

We tried a lot of different things and none of them were good. My potato was dry and burnt. My husbands sandwich was Arby's quality with all the meat on only one half of the sandwich. The tomato and cucumber salad was SO bland. Unforgivably bland. For some reason the broccoli on my veggie spud was pretty much raw. The Mac and cheese was bland and clearly cooked in a bag not in the restaurant. Way too expensive to be this bad. The kids inside are trying . . . Kind of. But what's the point when you work for a chain that has this kind of poor quality ingredients and is guaranteed to leave patrons feeling like they wasted their money and time. read more

McAlister's is to the deli scene what a scoop of vanilla ice cream is to a banana split. There us nothing wrong about a scoop if vanilla ice cream but what kind of ode does one compose to the humble white confection? Similarly this "deli" is unworthy of any lofty words. I had the club. It was fine. The potato salad that accompanied it was fine. The iced tea was fine. Prices were fine. Nothing exceptional but far from inspiring praise. The interior was carefully crafted by some dull Texans so as to appear sophisticated yet uninspired. Yes, this is a chain out if Texas. I love a good deli this was not one. If you seek a seriously uninspired meal run don't walk to McAlister's for a sandwich that you most likely won't remember an hour later. read more

We had a McAllister's where we lived in Missouri and we always thought it was good. My husband ordered half a club and some soup. The "half" sandwich was the saddest thing I've ever seen. There was a smidge of meat and three pieces of gross bread. How can you serve this to someone? read more

McAlister's Deli - McAlister's Club - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This has to be one of the worst locations in the whole company. I would comment on the food, but I can never seem to get it without some BS ordering hassle. Their website never seems to work right, they hang up on you when you try to call, then, in the off chance you can actually place an order, their employees are surly and act is if they have better things to do. read more

This place sucks they never get the order right. They don't include the pickle when you request it, gave us the wrong chips and my potato soup the one thing I actually enjoy which is normally thick and creamy and what I was expecting to get. Instead I got BROWN WATER. I am honestly surprised how this place is still open after reading all the terrible reviews on Grubhub. I'm not one to write reviews but please don't waste your money here ever. read more

I've have stoped here twice for two weeks to get food here. The first time they told me there is only take out only and they close at 8:00pm when on their doors actually say 10:00 is their official closing time. They didn't give a reason why or how they just said it bluntly with force. The second time I stop I'd figured I would give them a second chance. they immediately shot them selfs in the food. I made an order sat down for my food to be served and was called up to the front after waiting 25 minutes. then was told that they only do take out no dine in. Why did they wait to inform me at the last minute that its only take out. I ask for a refund, got my refund and went to other establishments for better services. Before I left there was one other pair of customers who where finishing their food and left in rush due to staff workers having their kids at work, running round and throwing utensils, grabbing hand full of napkins and making messes while I and the other pair of customers had to listen to screaming kids. this place used to be good and I mean "used" to be good now its not. I really recommend to not come here anymore unless you want to deal with screaming kids and closing hours when the staff feels like it. This place is a joke. You are better go to other places in the area Like Bravos, CPK.. etc please stay away from this place. read more

Counter service was quick, cashier was friendly. Our order took about 15 min to come out. My husband ordered a a Rueben and Mac n Cheese. This is a hot meal and it came out cold. He easily traded his cold Mac n cheese for a slightly warmer one. He decided it wasn't worth the wait for the sandwich. I ordered the pick 2 with the Cesar salad and beef and cheddar. My salad was drowning in dressing and my sandwich was a ham and cheddar...whatever I'll deal it's just annoying. Bread was stale on one side. Restaurant is dirty and dusty. Bathroom were especially gross. read more

My wife & I drove back from a day trip to Santa Fe to enjoy a casual dinner with my cousin's family here at McAlisters late yesterday afternoon around 4:30. The experience exceeded our expectations! Everyone's food was delicious. I tried the glorious crab corn chowder in a bread bowl with a bowl of mixed greens on the side topped with an excellent serving of tuna salad. Being 70 & forgetful, I got my wife her Caesar salad & our drinks but forgot to order the turkey & pepper jack panini. When our server brought our food, my wife asked "where's my sandwich?" Sheepishly, I admitted I had forgotten to order it! The server said "No problem, I'll go get it." When it came a few minutes later I tried to pay for it & she told us it was on the house! Who DOES that?! We had my cousin's 2 YO foster son & their teenage daughter with us & we were sitting & catching up when the person who may have been a manager came over and offered us desserts on the house! Wow! We got a chocolate chip cookie, a chocolate brownie and a huge Rice Krispies bar that the boy half devoured himself! All this & free drink refills! BTW, the place was pretty quiet on this Super Bowl Sunday! It was the perfect ending to a great day. And, no, none of us watched the game! read more

So like many other reviews the food was excellent. We had the Horseradish/roast beef & cheddar and sweet chipotle chicken, splitting a cup of broccoli/cheddar soup. Both sandwiches were on ciabatta bread. The roast beef was tender, not overcooked and the horseradish was not overpowering. Likewise the chipotle chicken was tender and sweet. The ciabatta bread for both sandwiches was fresh. The issue we had was after almost 7 months of various restriction they still don't have a clue how to manage customers. While there were a 2-3 tables in the restaurant occupied and maybe 4 parties totaling 10 people appropriately separated by 6' standing in line. We were all kicked out, by employees saying there were too many people in the store??? Most of us standing in line for to go orders - to take wherever or sit at the tables outside. Not sure what triggered this, but think it was overkill. Maybe they need to develop a policy that is clear to all... read more

Wish there was a less and 1 Star option. I'm the past McAllister's was here my family and I would get lunch every week. This place has disappointment me with their customer service and constantly messing up orders. This trip assures we will never be back. In our to go order we found a bug in our sandwich. My mom took a bit and felt something was wrong, Looks inside to find that she took a bite of what's seems to be a moth. Disgusting. read more

The sweet tea is sweet the employees are always friendly and the food is quality. The club or the french dip with salad and mac or broccoli cheese soup are the usual combos when eating here. The salad is always green fresh and crisp, bread is never hard meat is delish mac is so creamy the soup is warm and filling and again the sweet tea is perfect. Many combos and options and very affordable. read more

McAlister's Deli - French dip and club sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I placed an order to go: a side of Mac and Cheese, a salad, and a sandwich. It took them nearly 40 minutes to give me my order (order placed: 2:51, received at 3:30). The manager did not apologize or try to make up for the fact that everyone in front and behind me received their order right away. To add insult to injury my mac and cheese bowl was about half-way full. I will be going to Jersey Mike's and Jimmy Johns instead. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Don't know what's going on with this place but 3 years ago it used to be a place to go. Visited yesterday and I remembered quickly why I don't come here any more. Walked in they were pretty slow, no lines , no wait. Took about 10 minutes for someone to actually appear infront of register to take our order. Ordered our food no problem and sat down. Got our food within 10 minutes so they earn a star for that. Upon our food arriving ( 1 sandwich and a salad) they worker mentioned they were out of clean forks and didn't have a dishwasher Lmao. She then said that they were giving out plastic forks which they ran out of smh. they apologized for the inconvenience and said here's a spoon to eat your salad with hahah. This place has no sense of order and structure. Especially for workers to be standing around and socializing. It would be common sense to get a cook, cashier or even manager to get back there and wash some silverware lol. read more

Located in the uptown area, a good place that I enjoy getting a sandwich from around lunch time. Sometimes it's packed and you have a hard time getting through the line and finding a seat, but 9/10 I have no issues. I have about 4 menu items I stick to and I ALWAYS get the sweet tea! read more

McAlister's Deli - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Just aweful. It is a sin to call this a "deli". The corned beef was essentially balogna and the "marble rye" was soggy crap. The Mac n cheese was over cooked flavorless junk. You would be WAY better off making Kraft from a box. Even the pickle was bad. Please don't try this, it's such a waste of time and money. They literally have no idea what a Ruben is and if you complain they try to defend this dog food! I didn't take a picture because I threw it away but trust me, this place is painful and doesn't deserve your money. Just go to McDonald's or something. Yuck. read more

I am slightly baffled as to why this place has such a low overall rating. We have eaten here several times in the past couple of months and have always had a good experience- fresh food, super yummy soups, there spuds are pretty good to and my son loves there cookies. There service has always been pretty fast and pleasant I just dont have anything to complain about. In fact a couple of months ago we had eaten here for lunch and I was feeling a little under the weather and sent my husband back to get me a soup for my dinner and thats saying something because I dont normally eat at the same place twice in 1 day. This place is a keeper for my family and we definitely recommend it to others. They will also give you a free drink with your meal if you are military- read more

After a long day of shopping at the outdoor mall I was well ready for a meal! Sandwiches sounded bomb at the time and McAlister's was the choice! We walk in and there was no wait, 2 cashiers joyfully waiting for the next customer! I ordered a ham and cheese toasty with an Arnold Palmer and it was only $9. Keep in mind that if you were to go to a fast food drive thru it would be about the same. It did not take long at for my food. It was really good, I would recommend the mac and cheese as a side it is delicious! Overall good experience I will be back! read more

I had eaten at a location in Peoria, AZ and decided to try it this evening for dinner. Great choice. I had the full size black angus "giant spud". I didn't finish all of it and it barely fit in the container I had to take it in. The meat again was delicious, moist, to my liking. It didn't have too much cheese but was just right. I had a large soda with it. Our server-who I assumed was a manager-was very nice and helpful. She refilled my drink twice and was just a gem. Blonde with braids, didn't get her name. But she was on point, dealing with customers and staff. Parking to get in can be a challenge. I found a parallel space on the north side of the building, which has a small entrance into the parking lot. I always get that space, and I don't mind. It seems people are afraid of parallel parking, works to my benefit. On that point you should see spaces in California. Try parking a E-150 van parallel on a 50 degree incline backwards, I've done it. I'm saying anyone who'd complain about that is a whiner, but I digress on the failings of new drivers. I point that out because as I was pulling up someone complained about the space, driving a Honda Fit no less. I'm driving an older full size vehicle and did it no problem. I had a great time. Thank you. read more

This is the third time we've eaten here in the 8 months we've lived in the area. This is the second time it has taken over 40 minutes to get our food after we ordered. They are extremely understaffed. The line of those who ordered take out was taken even longer. The food stacked up in the window while the only two employees out front kept taking orders without stopping to pass food out. After years of eating at other McAlister's, this one obviously has a management issue. Finally two more employees showed up and got them caught up. It was an hour too late. read more

This place has thee best tea!!! Every time I come in here, I usually order the Southwest Chicken Griller sandwich! Taste soooo great! Never fails! Service is ok... The last time I came in here.. Probably Wednesday.. The person that helped us didn't seem to be happy. She had no smile or anything, so I felt rushing just trying to get out of her way. Other than that.. Tea made me happy and the new Four cheese pasta.. (In which the employee didn't know about it). Have a good meal yelpers! read more
