    Dear McAlister's Deli gods, can you please put a location on the eastside of Cleveland, preferably in the Mayfield/Beachwood area? Pretty please? I discovered McAlister's while visiting my family in southern Ohio, and now every time I come down McAlister's is a must. One of the things McAlister's is known for is the Sweet Tea. If you only get one thing on the entire menu, make it the sweet tea. If you only get one more thing on the menu go with a super-sized baked potato of your choice. My choice is ALWAYS the spud ole which is topped with chili, cheddar-jack and jalopenos (chef's kiss gif). The same chili and toppings are used on my favorite sharable as well, the ultimate nachos only with more toppings. If more than one of these sounds good don't worry; they have the choose-two. I usually go with the nachos and the grilled chicken salad or the 5 cheese griller and add jalopenos of course, but I have kind of buried the lead with McAlister's. Their sandwich and wraps are really their bread and butter. The 'Deli' part of McAlister's name is what truly separates them from other places. My top 3 are: 1. The McAlister's Club because it is the best club sandwich I have ever had, and I am not a wheat bread kind of guy normally. 2. The Southwest Chicken because the spicy relish in it is just next level. 3. The chicken Caesar because it is consistent and a satisfying classic. So there you have it. McAlister's Deli has some scrumptious sandwiches, huge baked potatoes, healthy salads and famous sweet tea. I never heard of them before, but now I am hoping they eventually make their way to my neighborhood. There is no higher praise than that.

    Two big pieces were on top and those crumbs were underneath. See were I added the chicken.

    I have been a fan McAlister's since 2019. The service has went down drastically 2021. I'm sitting here because I didn't want to forget my experience this time. I ordered the "pair two" I got the sweet and smoky chicken sandwich and chicken tortilla soup. The tortilla chips that came with my soup was literally crumbs. and my food came out on a dirty plate. my soup had hardly any chicken in it so I added some from my sandwich. The sandwich itself is dry with literally a dash of sauce. And before I git my food I asked to exchange my lemonade for a soft drink because it tastes like dish water. I'm at 3310 Pentagon Blvd Beavercreek, Ohio. Please get it together. This is the third time I have been disappointed with the service.

    I have had McAlister's all over the country, specifically in GA, FL, AL and OH. I have frequented this location several times and typically their food is delicious, fresh, and made correctly. Today, however, at this location in Beavercreek, OH it was a different story. I ordered a chicken club on a Baguette instead of the typical bread it comes on. I also ordered another sandwich with a side of tortilla soup. I received my ordered and rushed away to get back to work, I was in a hurry and should have checked my food. Once I got back to my office, I noticed my order was completely wrong. My chicken club was like a salad with no bread, just lettuce, tomato, and chicken in the box. I had no tortilla chips for my tortilla soup. I called and asked to speak with management, the first manager offered to replace my meal. I explained that I lived about 20 minutes from this location, wouldn't be eating my lunch bc of this inconvenience, and asked for a free meal and a refund. I explained I would drive back once I got off of work. To my dismay, the manager told me that they couldn't give me both, after all I may of eaten the meal. I explained that I was not touching my meal bc it was not what I ordered. I even stated I would bring the meal back. I then asked to speak to their manager, and he offered to replace my meal and add a free cookie. I explained that I would be wasting my time and gas because my meal was made incorrectly. The manager then told me he would throw in a free lemonade. I am a Customer Service manager, and this was awful customer service. In fact it left a nasty taste in my mouth, and I will not frequent this location once I get the meal that I paid for. Update -- I went back and got the meal that I paid for once I got off work. The manager offered me a COOKIE for the inconvenience. A refund and free meal is honestly the only thing that I feel would of been acceptable. My advice to anyone that patronizes this establishment is to check your food before you leave, it will definitely save you a headache, a wasted lunch break, and more importantly your time.

    Maybe I'm bias, and it probably helped that I waited a few months after opening before coming here, but I love McAlister's deli! This deli offers way more (and way tastier) options than Panera. Chose from hot or cold sandwiches, pasta, salads, appetizers, soups, baked potatoes, and more! My recommendation is a McAlister's Club with a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. And don't forget the sweet tea! Always fresh, always delicious. This was my first experience getting a order to go, and while the restaurant did nothing wrong, for next time I'll know to only get soup if I'm dining in. Not the best when I have to reheat it because of the time it took to get home.

The counter does not necessarily allow for people to view unless they try and look over to see them cooking but that is neither here nor there. I got a cheesesteak with mayo, onions and mushrooms. It was very good. Tasty and messy. Just the way I enjoy my sandwiches. It is difficult to compare to a Philly cheesesteak because the bread is different. It was tasty though. The food did take awhile to come out. It was to be expected because they are cooking it to order. I did notice that the food sat awaiting to be passed out for long than I felt like it should. The focus was on people paying and not getting the food out. The reasons for my three stars was not the food. It was the start of the process. The gentleman that helped us didn't seem excited to have us in. It was more like he was going through the motions. I watched as he talked to everyone. Never welcoming anyone in. Just asked name, what was wanted and anything else and he motioned everyone down the line. Kinda disappointed in the exchange. I get answering the same thing over and over, but welcoming people in is the first thing in business. Probably won't return to this location. I will try another and see if the experience is the same.

It tasted frozen. The grilled chicken added to our Chilaquiles was rubbery and very non-fresh tasting. Like on par with Taco Bell chicken. And the price points kinda reveal this. You can't do a plate with freshly cooked chicken for $13. The salsa and overall vibe on the Chilaquiles was very average. Nothing like some homemade versions I've had. I feel like they're trying to do an elevated menu but just dressing up average-quality ingredients. The service was good. Nice server.
