Friendly service, fair price, relaxed atmosphere. Large windows let in natural light. 10% off if you're an AARP member. The salads look delicious and huge. I'll order one eventually. Had the baked potato super large, very tasty, and I just got butter. The kid baked potato meal makes a wonderful dinner. I love the macaroni, the beef jus sandwich is satisfyingly delicious and right now I'm hooked on the BLT served on toasted bread. I like the fat chips it's served with, my sister prefers the macaroni and we both love the pickle. My mouth is watering right now. Plenty more choices and desserts. The drink selection includes Barq's root beer! Try it I think you'll love it. Eat in, tables outside or get it to go. read more

McAlister's is the ideal place when you just want a big ole monster sandwich. I'm talking about the kind of sandwich that could feed you and forty of your homeboys. A giant sandwich that will beat up all the other sandwiches and take their lunch money. The kind of sandwich Vegans secretly dream about before they eat a carrot stick. The kind of sandwich other sandwiches whisper about in hushed tones, debating its legendary sandwich-exploits. These sandwiches are the real deal Holyfield and one of them bit Mike Tyson's ear that one time, probably. A+ McAlister's Deli - you got it going on like a buffet inside a meat limo filed with awesomeness. A+ read more

Good and service were outstanding. Food was fresh, and attention to details on my order.

McAlister's makes the best sandwiches in the area. Yes, they might be more expensive than Jersey Mike's or Subway, but they are worth it. We've had both take-out and eat-in and the food quality is always tops. Orders are filled quickly too. The take-out orders are expertly packed and always prepared as requested. The restaurant is comfortable, clean and has abundant booths and tables. The cashiers are cordial and helpful. Any of the club sandwiches work for me, but I love the French Dip. It comes with a white cheese. And wow, they do not stint on the meat. A 12" sandwich really makes for two meals. The Italian is a very good sandwich as well. I'm very fond of McAlister's potato salad. As a cautionary note, when ordering online, do not rely on the pictures on McAlister's website. For example, the French Dip looks like it's made with ham. But rest assured, the French Dip comes with beef. read more

We love this place. They have great premade sandwich options. They do allow customizations which I love even more. We tried a good selection of sandwiches. I would just suggest choosing something with ingredients of your liking, can't go wrong with it. The southwest salad was really good. I look forward to trying the other salad options. The Mac and cheese is decent. Its not the best but I'd order again. We did not like the chilli but the rice and beans were good.The spuds are a great option too. Nothing fancy to it pretty basic but it was good when you can add what you like. Potato salad wasn't memorable nor were the nachos. The lemonades and teas are fresh. I'd get that just that sometimes. Overall a good lunch spot, not the most affordable but great quality. Plenty of space for sitting down and everyone is always nice. 4.5 would be more appropriate rating for me but not a whole 5 so I was conflicted read more

The server was patient with me as I took a gander at the menu. I ordered a Southwest Chicken and Avocado Salad, swapped out the chicken with Extra Avocado. The salad was delicious, included a mixed greens base with roasted corn, black bean relish, red onion, tomato, cheddar-jack, blue corn tortilla strips, avocado with Chili Lime Vinaigrette dressing. The dressing was ok. All in all, I'll be back because I have to try at least of the menu read more

Great location for a quick snack or lunch while shopping. Inside is nice, clean & and spacious, including the restrooms. Nice decor and plenty of seating without feeling cramped. Easy to read menu, with options of soups, sandwiches, salads, and baked potatoes. You can combine choices with a pick 2. It is similar in style to Panera, but prices are less. I did think the portions were smaller and no additional items like chips or bread included. We enjoyed our selections, and my wife shared her tomato soup, which I found better than others. My potatoe soup was decent. Both our sandwiches were tasty. Service was friendly, and food was brought out to the table in a timely manner. read more

Food is amazing. Highly recommended...good sandwiches and salads. Service is quick and friendly.

McAlister's Deli delivered a solid meal. The half spud was satisfying, and the salad was fresh. Nothing fancy, but a good, reliable choice.

The best hands down from VA to Knoxville Tn. The management is great! Staff is always friendly. They go above and beyond to serve. It's a great clean location and friendly atmosphere. We spend ALOT of $$$ here weekly just on Sweet Tea. They have fabulous sandwiches and soup. Worth the go!! read more

Whoever is making our order all the time, 5 stars to you guys. Our food is always fresh and made just the way we ask for it. I just wish they would offer like low sodium or just regular turkey bacon. And maybe some other low fat and low sodium options. Other then that so far the food has always been great! read more

I recently had lunch with a friend at the one in Centerville, Ohio and our lunch was so yummy. We had the 2 for 2 meal for $9.99 each. It was definitely a good deal, I had the spud potato and a half a sandwich; it was totally filling. We also tried the carrot cake. Now, I will visit the location in Hbyal Valley Alexandria to see if it is as good. read more

The spaghetti was really delicious, with a rich and savory sauce that had just the right balance of acidity and sweetness. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the portion was generous.

I love the comfortability here! When writing dissertation chapters, I frequently worked here because I cannot focus inside of quiet libraries, study halls or home! WiFi is always smooth with no sudden disconnections. The service is consistently reliable and personable. I always get the Garden Fresh Turkey sandwich without cheese, Jalapeño Chips and Pickle. Whenever I'm feeling like relaxing for a while or combating the weather, I often get the delicious Veggie Chili. When I want to live life on the edge a bit, I definitely add the house baked Chocolate Chip Cookie! read more

Always an excellent experience at the McAlisters in Hybla Valley. Staff are wonderful and helpful. Food is very good and am a fan of the unsweetened ice tea. Comfortable to sit inside and pleasant to sit outside, especially on a sunny day with my little dog Rosie. read more

Had the Reuben with corned beef, swiss cheese, 1000 island dressing, sauerkraut (very little) from the Alexandria, VA location on my lunch break. The meat was too salty & on 1 half of the sandwich there was a toothpick embedded in the sandwich - I noticed it when I bit into the sandwich. It was my first time there;sandwich was very meaty; I may try something else another time. Forgot to take a pic. read more

Great environment and food was delicious! The service was excellent and the best of all is the value for the quality of food. I think this is a very good option to come for breakfast and lunch and I recommend 100% read more

One of my coworkers had a potato from here yesterday and it peaked my interest. Today I decided to give them a try. I went online and placed an order for pickup. The website was easy to navigate. I decided to go with the pick two and went with a half spud with black angus roast beef and a half grilled chicken sandwich on a croissant. I originally wanted a Cuban but the website said it was unavailable. As soon as we walked into the restaurant they had a rack near the registers and the shelves were labeled pickup, delivery and curbside. It was very easy to get our food. The ride back to the office everything smelled so good. The portions were a lot especially when it was only a half potato and half a sandwich. Definitely a lot for the money. The potato had lots of flavor and the sandwich was perfect. Overall I was very pleased and will definitely be going back. read more

came to Mcalisters and couldn't decide on what but Jonathan helped explain the menu and walked to us while we were eating to see if we needed refills. he's a great worker and we will def be back! oh and the music was also a great playlist! read more

Nice, very clean, and it has unique items as well as traditional. My Reuben sandwich was fantastic with a very generous amount of corned beef. Reminded me of good Reubens in NYC. My daughter enjoyed her veggie sandwich and fresh fruit was a nice choice for a side. Ample parking & handicap accessible. read more

Literally came for the tea, asked them to add a little lemonade and also found my way to a Spud Max and an Italian an let me tell you I was not disappointed at all. There's just something about their tea, if you know you know and where you are in the area you just go that's just how it is! I will say if you add lemonade do the unsweetened tea because the sweetness form the lemonade is the right level when you mix the two together. Now, if you like a super sweet tea, go ahead and get the sweet tea instead. The Spud Max will be my forever favorite spud but I did see a seasonal spud with steak that I now have my eyes on!!! The spud was huge, hot and fully loaded with deliciousness!! I do appreciate that the sour cream was on the side so I could add it at my leisure. The Italian was a dream come true in sammie form. Fully loaded with meat and not overcrowded by the lettuce, each bite was just as flavorful as the next! There is plenty of seating, staff was friendly and the inside was clean! I appreciated that the staff was cleaning tables too as patrons left so there were not a lot of messes left behind. I did take my order to go and it was nice that they call the order names out loud in case you are not crowding the front of the counter where you actually place your order. Oh yea, grab a chocolate chip cookie too, it is worth it! read more

The sandwich that I had was pretty good although I wouldn't have considered it a "melt". The fruit that I got with it was kind of soggy and wasn't very good. The service was okay. The woman at the register wasn't really pleasant and I felt a little rushed. They have a huge menu that spans across the entire wall and with it being my first time, I needed some time to look at everything. The restaurant was pretty quiet. I will say that it was clean and I noticed that the tables were cleaned pretty quickly after a patron got up. read more

The menu has a lot of options and can be a bit overwhelming, but in a good way lol. The prices are great compared to another chain establishment similar. I appreciate the cost of the pick 2, which is the same whichever item you choose. This was my second time coming here, my mom wanted to go so I was like "sure" lol. I had the half caesar wrap and the chicken tortilla soup, with tortilla chips on the side. The soup was basically like eating nachos because of the texture and taste; I dipped the tortillas in the soup mainly. We also shared a Veggie Spud (loaded potato), which was okay just wish the cheese was more of a shredded cheese and not a cheese sauce because of the consistency. My mom had a chicken salad sandwich and a salad for the side. The customer service is great as well, they bring your food to your table and often ask if there's anything else you need. The ambiance is pretty chill and not nosey, which is something I like. Would like to try more options in the future. read more

If you love sandwiches or nachos, this is the place for you! My two flavor things are their Ultimate Nachos and King Club sandwich. I got them for carryout. The Ultimate Nachos had chili, RO*TEL cheese sauce, cheddar-jack cheese, tomato, black olives, jalapeños, green onion, sliced avocado and sour cream on tortilla chips. All of the ingredients were packaged separately so that it wasn't soggy when I got it home. This dish was bursting with flavor! When everything was put together, it was zesty, savory, and spicy with a medium amount of heat from the jalapeños and RO*TEL cheese sauce. The tortilla chips were not fresh made, and they were salted. They tasted fine, though. The only change that I would recommend is that they replace the sliced avocado with guacamole.    The King Club sandwich had double the ingredients of a McAlister's Club sandwich. It was made with smoked turkey, Black Forest ham, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, spring mix, tomato, mayo, and McAlister's Honey Mustard™ on toasted country white bread. There were 13 layers of ingredients. It's still the best tasting club sandwich that I have ever eaten!! It was a harmonious blend of savory meats, flavorful cheeses, fresh vegetables, and well matched condiments. The only downside was the bacon. There were only 3 thin slices in the whole sandwich, so you could barely taste it. It came with a side. The choices were a bag of chips, steamed broccoli, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, fresh fruit, cucumber and tomato salad, caesar's salad, garden salad or a cup of soup. I chose the potato salad.    The potato salad had small chunks of soft potatoes in a well-balanced dressing that had mild flavors of mayonnaise, mustard, relish, and sugar. The potato flavor was good also. It was topped with a sprinkle of paprika. This was a great classic potato salad!    The dining room looked very clean. They had only 4 tables for outdoor dining. The service was fast. I picked up my food at 3:45 PM on a Sunday, and there were hardly any customers. The carryout packaging was well arranged and sturdy. I recommend visiting them if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Our church has a time here almost every Sunday. It's great food, good pricing, very well trained and courteous staff, and a franchise owner who treats us as family. Never a complaint. The seating area is quite large and very, very well attended and sparkling. Just the best local deli we know of. First choice to treat family and friends. Very large menu selections. Keep it up; we've needed a place like this for years! read more

I've had a few sandwiches and they are good I often want just the baked potato and they are never consistent. The last one I ordered smelled like it was in the steamer for days. I threw it out. I'm sure it was from earlier and it was later at night but dang, say, we don't have any fresh baked potatoes then as that was my meal. read more

McAllister deli in Arlington is truly a hidden gem! The service here is superb - staff are friendly and accommodating. And the food? Oh my gosh, the food! Their 'spuds' (baked potatoes with all kinds of delicious toppings) are simply out of this world. The quality, taste, and texture are second to none - definitely worth a visit if you're ever in town! I highly recommend McAllister deli for an amazing dining experience. Pro tip: they left out my sour cream, so double check condiment requests. And add peach syrup to your Sweet tea. read more

Enjoyed my lunch here today with my hubby. We live just down the road and I've been wanting to try the food here. My jalapeno turkey crunch sandwich was good but i do wish it had more avocado in it. Seemed like mine was more of a spread than actual pieces. The spud was good and my hubby enjoyed his caesar salad and back. Will deff be back. Could there also be a sign for lines?? Myself and a few others stood in the wrong line at first and a cashier corrected us. read more

I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend when she saw that I had posted my homemade reuben online. Of course when I arrived, I had to order a reuben. Everything smelled wonderful in this place. One thing I am used to ordering with my reuben is fries. I was surprised to learn that they did not have fries. They don't fry anything at McAllister's. I reluctantly ordered the potato salad and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed at all. It was actually very good and I am very picky about my potato salad. In fact, if I am too lazy to make potato salad, I know where I am going to get some decent potato salad. I didn't order in advance but walked in and it was very quick. The reuben is on untoasted marbled rye and comes with dill pickle spears and a small side. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings. read more
