    Chicken Tortilla Soup and Grilled Chicken on a Croissant
    Richard Walton C.

    Upon entering this location I was greeted by a festive atmosphere because today was Free Tea Day. The staff had decorated with balloons everywhere, especially around their dedicated Tea Bar. Today I also learned they do breakfast catering. I ordered off the Choose 2 option and selected a cup of Chicken Tortilla soup plus the classic Grilled Chicken on a Croissant. My plate came with a pickle and some plain Tostitos chips. The grilled chicken sandwich was good although it is better when the croissant is not cut in half. The soup was too spicy for me to eat. I would have thought a Mexican flavor would have been good enough without making it so spicy some people can't tolerate the spiciness. There was nothing on the menu indicating it was spicy. Service was excellent! Fast and efficient at the order counter with prompt and correct delivery to the table. My food delivery person noticed I didn't have a drink and brought me a cup after we both realized it had been forgotten. Also after my finished meal plate had been taken away so quickly, another staff member stopped by wondering if I was still waiting on food delivery. No issues with parking and the restrooms were clean and fragranced.

    Veggie baked potato
    Missi R.

    My friend and I were trying to think of a meal we could get quickly that wasn't fast food. So I ordered a couple of veggie baked potatoes on the app, for carryout. There were few people dining inside the restaurant, but there were quite a few carryout orders waiting for pickup. The potatoes were huge, soft, and fluffy. I love baked potatoes, and I can tell instantly if a restaurant is serving reheated potatoes. This were perfect, and the vegetable toppings were fresh and plentiful. Our food was well packaged and was hot and fresh. I will definitely think of McAllister's the next time I am craving a baked potato.

    Had lunch at McAlister's today near 116th and Keystone. We ordered the Memphian sandwich. It's $15.29 for a 12" and $10.29 for a 6". We ordered the 12" to split, my wife and I. We also ordered a kids broccoli and cheese bowl for $3.49 with a side of cucumber and tomato mix ....just because we like these as sides. This is not on their printed menu as a kids meal option. This sandwich is considered one of their Premium Sandwiches. We've never had it, so decided to try something new. It's smoked Turkey, Black Forest ham, black angus roast beef, provolone, spring mix lettuce, tomato, Mayo and spicy brown mustard on a toasted baguette. The sandwich was served hot and, even though they were busy, it arrived at our table quickly. Normally I'd balk at a $15+ sub sandwich. However, this contained a lot of meat and was very filling. Make sure you join the McAlister Rewards program. They give you discount coupons. Today I used one that gave me regular points plus an additional 200 if I purchased a sandwich. At 500 points you can get a free kids meal. So next time we visit, we can get our favorite broccoli cheese bowl for free! Finally, we really like their "serve yourself" tea bar. We like to make Arnold Palmers (half tea and half lemonade). We like this option here.

    Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich
    Chess L.

    Been here multiple times. Most of the time eating in is fine. Sometimes they don't follow customizations well. Had one order without olives that came with olives. Last pickup order my Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich did not include avocados and it's the only reason why I ordered this sandwich. Very upset but I was busy all night so I went back to McAlister's the next morning and they made me a complimentary Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich correctly this time and gave me a side and a drink while waiting. Very impressed with the response, they didn't have to respond this way but they did.

    Filthy drink counter

    We eat here several times a month, but quality and cleanliness has been going down hill. Today was probably the last time. The tea tasted old and spoiled and the store was an absolute mess. Employees standing around and no one was cleaning. Self serve drink area was disgusting.

    My wife and I are quite disappointed with this McAlisters. We came in for an early dinner 4 pm on Saturday 10/28. We both ordered pick 2 option and similar orders. 1/2 chicken salad sandwich and 1/2 baked potato. The person at the register said she would check to see if the had baked potatoes. Then we waited for several minutes. Finally I waved down the cook in the kitchen. He says "oh, no. Our potato warmer is broken, and the potatoes are cold, and it's not worth making 2. Ok. Well. That's strange. We felt minimized by that comment. So we ordered 2 cups of broccoli cheddar soup. When the meals were brought to the table I asked the server if they had crackers. She replied "oh I'm sorry we are out of crackers". We thought how could they be out of crackers??? I don't think we are going to come back here. In fact. No, we are definitely not coming back P.s the 1/2 sandwich was very skimpy. Ugh. p.p.s. I complained to the manager on duty. He said they had been out of crackers and were waiting on a truck to deliver new ones. As far as the potato warmer, he said it went out a couple of days ago and they were waiting on a repair person to fix or replace it. So, I think this restaurant has systemic problems above any shift manager.

    Had a lady who had trouble putting stuff into the register - took 10 minutes and a supervisor finally finished. Food was good though.

    Enjoyed the pick two. Thought the food was great, but the staff, did their job but weren't at all friendly. I felt sorry for them.

    I love Fat Dan's, and have really enjoyed going recently!…read more The food is so much better than before, and isn't as greasy as it used to be! The pastrami and corned beef is my favorite (my best recommendation). The staff are so kind and attentive, making sure your drinks are always filled and anything you need is there.

    We were in the Indianapolis area for a tennis tournament and heard great things about Carmel. Once…read morewe were there we happened upon Fat Dan's Deli. The building facade is unassuming in a strip mall off the main drag in Carmel. Inside, the place oozed character. We love dive bars and Fat Dan's is an original. The place is a dive but in the best sense of the word. The interior is worn but everything was clean and inviting. The staff were warm and welcoming. We sat in a booth with tattered seats and a wobbly table and we loved it!! We ordered breadsticks, a Cuban sandwich, wings and fries. Before I describe the food, I have to write about the way they deliver the food. I saw one of the staff bring out this boat of food wrapped in white paper to a table near us and thought that was an order of a specific type that warranted such a delivery. When I asked our waitress about it she smiled and said that was how she was going to bring out our food. It's a little thing but we thought it was unique and just added to the feel of the place. A few minutes later we received our food in a white paper boat and it was awesome. The breadsticks were good; the nacho cheese wasn't the best. The coleslaw was a hit with my wife and son. The Cuban sandwich was really good. The chicken wings were outstanding! The wings are smoked and meaty...and the blue cheese dressing that came with it was delicious. The waitress told us that they make the blue cheese in house and I believe her. The fries were tasty- our waitress was right in saying that a small order would feed a family. We did our best but there was no way we were finishing anything. The portions are large.;) All in all, we had a great meal in a unique place with really friendly staff. Thanks, Fat Dan's!!!

The fries were also amazing, they were kind of thin which made them so crispy! Nothing like I've had before! An example is pictured below! I even went at lunch time and everything was fresh and the service was quick. I didn't dine in but the aesthetic was very cute, bright and open, making it perfect for a lunch spot! As I mentioned, the fries were amazing. I got the naked fries but they also have options to get loaded fries and I cannot wait to go back and try them!

You order up at the counter and the sandwich is prepared fresh. The menu is up on the wall with a nice assortment of sandwiches and salads. I ordered the Classic Italian medium sub. The sandwich was prepared amazingly quickly and double wrapped in deli paper. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was soft. There was a little dressing on the sandwich. The cheese and tomato were cut so thin, they were translucent. But there was plenty of meat on the sub and it was filling. The sub was good, but didn't leave me craving another soon. The servers are friendly and efficient. They have 5-6 tables to eat inside and the dining area is clean.

    Naked Fries Regular- fairly certain my dasher skimmed off the top but that's for another day! :)
