I have to say I was not disappointed. I got the Super Smokey, which has Roast Beef, smoked turkey, ham and cheese. It only comes in one size (most are either 8" or 12") and it was HUGE. I thought the ratio of meat to bread and just enough veggies was very good. It also had just enough mayo. If I could change one thing, I'd add more hot peppers but still a great sub. It also comes with two pickle spears. The lady who took my order was also very nice. I'd definitely go back again to try one of their other subs. Definitely worth it.

And more of their snack items!! Nom nom nom!!

I wanted to buy some items while there, but I was stuffed so I plan to come back soon. Next time I will try a pizza. The menu literally has something for everyone. The service is warm and efficient. I went on a weekend during lunch time so it was a bit quiet, but as soon as I sat down to eat the people rolled in to buy their meats and cheeses. Great atmosphere! I think I've found a winner;)

I wanted a few slabs of cow for Christmas dinner but I was procrastinating in ordering and shopping. A few days before my Christmas dinner I walked in and was greeted and served by an amazing staff member. She educated me on how to cook, what to buy and even gave me a small discount. The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products. Visit them, it's a fun shop and the staff is great.

I could have spent half as much at Costco and received more meat and cheese than bread. I know costs have gone up, but customers still expect to get an adequate amount of food for their money. Especially large orders. The dining area was nice, but we did not eat in.

I stopped into McAlister's Deli in Ashburn, VA yesterday and ordered a Rueben sandwich, and let me just say, wow. This was hands-down one of the best Reubens I've had in a long time. Piled high with tender, flavorful corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, perfectly melted Swiss cheese, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing, all nestled between slices of fresh marbled rye. It was a masterpiece. Every bite had that perfect balance of savory, sour, and creamy. What really stood out was how much better the whole experience was compared to my last visit a few months ago. This time, the service was on point and the energy in the place felt sharp and focused. I think I know why. The manager was there, actively watching over everything like a proud papa. You could tell the team was locked in and taking pride in their work. The price was just $12.39 with tax. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the mood for a Rueben! read more

You are only as good as you management. That being said I don't want a sandwich from an employee who won't get paid. These people closed in Winchester Va without warning to employees and did not give them their due pay. Everyone deserves to be paid for work done. read more

I tried the limited-time Fiery Island Chicken sandwich and thought it was very good overall. It had…read moreplenty of spice and great flavor. I'm not someone who likes a lot of sauce on a sandwich, sub, or hoagie, and this one was a little over-sauced for me--almost enough to make you wonder what they were trying to cover up. A lighter hand with the sauce would have made it even better. My bigger issue was the mobile-order pickup process. The order was ready when we arrived, but the designated pickup area was completely empty because all the mobile orders were being kept behind the counter. That meant I couldn't simply grab my order and go; I had to wait for a break in the regular line, give an employee my name, and have him retrieve it. I understand they may be dealing with people taking the wrong orders or stealing them, but that defeats much of the purpose of ordering ahead. If the pickup shelves are no longer going to be used, they should move the furniture out of the doorway. Right now, it provides no benefit and is simply an obstacle. Otherwise, the restaurant was clean, the sandwich was good, and the staff had the order ready. Leesburg was unusually busy for a Friday, so that may have contributed. I would eat here again--I'd just ask for less sauce and hope they improve the mobile-pickup setup.

So, my baseline remains at what I remember about the MD location I frequented often. It was reliably delicious. Today's visit at the Leesburg location was a pleasant one. Staff were pleasant, welcoming, helpful. The restaurant itself was fairly clean, though upon entering, a table hadn't been wiped off, and there aren't many tables in this small space. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded. The food was ok. Whiie it was too salty at the Sterling location, it was a bit bland and really greasy at the Leesburg location. When they're running Specials, these are the best value based on portion, what's included, quality, and cost. Don't get me wrong, portions aren't shockingly skimpy. They'll fill you up. Worth the drive? Maybe if I have time to kill to drive 30+ miles to get chow. I always have good memories associated with Big Greek Cafe, so it's still a go-to, but definitely not a frequent visit like I used to make. The food at this location doesn't leave me with the same mouth-watering memories I have from the MD location. However, if you're looking for a better quality fast food experience than those huge national chains, I'd pick Big Greek more of the time.
