We used to live in Leander for 5 years and this was our favorite place to eat at with our 3 very picky kids. They loved the nachos and sandwiches. The service is nice. Everyone is friendly and quick. The locality is clean. We are in town now and stopping by remembering the good times. read more

I just had the sweetest experience here! One of the managers, Lane, took my order and he was super kind and friendly. He even gave me a free drink for being a rewards member! I got a lemonade and he asked if I wanted to add a syrup ... didn't even know that was an option. A very nice surprise & delight! I got the peach. Oh my gosh. So good. I rarely buy drinks from restaurants (I'm a water cup girly), but Lane put me on to something!! The food was yummy as always. I wasn't crazy about the taste of the Mac and cheese on the spud, but my smokey pepper Jack turkey sandwich was amazing. The ciabatta bread was PERFECT and the bacon was thick with a great taste. I love McAllister's and I particularly love this location! read more

I have been coming here for years and usually don't have issues. I don't know if management has changed or what, but 80% of the tables are dirty. Employees are just standing around and only one guy working the register. They are too busy talking about BS in the back to get orders out! This place has gone to hell in a hand basket. Don't think I will come back. I would say it's a bad day, but it looks like a tornado hit it. And none of the employees seem to care that 5 people are in line. read more

Yesterday, my Mom and I went in for lunch. We haven't been there in years, but I thought why not? The positive experience pleasantly surprised us. When the kids were younger, we used to visit this place frequently, but life got in the way. The food was excellent, the staff was very professional, and the atmosphere was something we had been lacking. While the staff took care of cleanliness and customer satisfaction, everyone in the restaurant was having a great time. Cedar Park appears to be expanding quickly, so it was good to find a place that still satisfies our requirements. All in all, it was a outstanding experience, and we plan to come back. Thank you! read more

McAlister's Deli is not what it used to be. The prices are high, but the portions are small. The bread bowl soup is gone -- instead, I was given a small cup of soup with toast on the side, which was disappointing. It wasn't filling at all, so I had to order a sandwich just to feel satisfied. The restaurant itself also felt dirty, which made the experience worse. Honestly, the only thing that still makes this place worth visiting is the tea. Other than that, it's hard to justify going back. read more

My French dip was awful. Meat was overcooked again, and was a tiny portion as well. I thought there was a standard for a franchise but I guess I was wrong read more

It pains me to write this review....I was introduced to McAlister's in the mid-90's and it was often a source of comfort food during high school and college. Perhaps it's being franchised or just getting "too big," but their fall since that time is considerable. I ordered takeout from this location this evening and it was incredibly disappointing. My Reuben was virtually devoid of anything but corned beef.....it maybe had a teaspoon of sauerkraut and dressing. Honestly, it was really just an underwhelming, plain, corned beef sandwich. We also ordered a kid's turkey sandwich, which turned out to be one of the saddest sandwiches I've ever seen. ...90% bread and not toasted at all. Finally, they left off my potato salad which I didn't realized until I made it home and it was too late. I keep giving this location "another shot," and they continue to let me down. I don't think I'll ever be going back. Really disappointing.....I used to love this place. read more

I ordered a pick two on the app with a baked potato and spicy turkey melt. The order was ready when I arrived, so I didn't really interact with anyone there. I thought the turkey melt was alright. I liked the bread they used and the sauce was good. My complaint comes with the baked potato... it was hard as a rock and completely inedible. I ended up just throwing it away. read more

For sure one of my go to spots when I'm craving a sandwich. On rare occasion I will dine in, but I almost always get my order to go using their mobile app. Around lunchtime, especially during the week, this place is packed. It always seems like they're severely understaffed so wait times for food can take a bit, but the people that do work there are friendly and you can tell they are trying to do their best. Restaurant is fairly clean-there is usually someone coming around to wipe tables. Food is good, plenty of menu options to choose from. Every time I've gotten my order it's been accurate, tasted good, and packaged well. My favorite menu item is either a loaded baked potato or the King Club sandwich. Don't forget your sweet tea! read more

I don't eat here much but by the way Maddie & mark treated me with EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE I felt like I was at a 5 star restaurant downtown i definitely will be coming back they made me feel very welcomed & Maddie was very genuine with us ! read more

Always pretty good, really good sweet tea and Caesar salad dressing is one of my favorites.

I placed an online order from this location for pick-up on 6/22/22021. Customer Service- When I walked into the establishment, it smelled of mildew and the floors were sticky. I quickly proceeded to the to-go rack to get my order. When I approached the to-go rack, there were two employees by the rack who seemed to be arguing over whose soda was whose and failed to acknowledge me. 0/5 Order breakdown French Dip Sandwich - In general, I enjoy this high calorie sandwich, but this one not so much. I was expecting a true skirt steak or flank steak but that is not what I got as evidenced by the photos. The Au jus for the sandwich was extremely salty. While most folks know that a typical Au jus is made with thyme, salt, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder, this Au jus seemed to be made with salt, beef stock and another mystery spice I couldn't make out. Overall, this was a complete miss for me. 1.5/5 The Reuben sandwich- The Reuben sandwich is an American grilled sandwich composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread. This Reuben as pictured was a top of soggy Rye. Had the bread on this been toasty and not soggy, it would have been okay but not great. 2/5 Chilly- I have no words for this, it was canned. 0/5 Potato Salad- This was clearly not made from scratch and purchased in bulk. 0/5 Tomatoes and Cucumber- There is no way to do this menu item wrong, but it was tasteless. A hit of balsamic would have been much better in the finished product. 2/5 Overall 1.45/5 There shall not be a return visit. Although this is a 2-star rating, it really is just above a 1. read more

I think this is a very average deli with excellent iced tea. You know how you have a "go to" place for certain foods? Well, this is my go-to place for a club sandwich. My wife always gets the salad. So we have no opinions of any other items. The service, before COVID, was not very good. You walk up to the counter and order. I doubt any of these people are even there now since they have had to curtail their hours of operation due to "lack of staff". CHECK BEFORE YOU GO to see if they are open. So I won't go into the poor service in the past. Actually, it seems like the service is better now that some of that staff are gone. The sandwich comes with one side and (they say) a deli pickle. I haven't gotten the pickle in over a year so I just assume it's too much trouble to update the menu. I used to enjoy the pickle however. The side I always get is potato salad and it's very creamy and tasty. It is obvious it's packaged, but it's still good in my opinion. The serving side is about like one scoop of ice cream. It's plenty for me but probably not for the hungry teen age boy me of many years ago. I have to add that we visited here Tuesday for lunch. Drove by and Surprise! It was open until 5 pm. We were there around noon and service was good as was our regulars, a salad for the wife and a club sandwich for me. I had not eaten anything that morning and after chowing down I didn't eat anything else. Around 5 o'clock I was feeling pretty queasy in the stomach. No aches or fever or anything, just that "too full" feeling you get and you know you better lay off the food for awhile. Then later that evening it hit, dirreah! Thought it had passed, but this morning it hit again. At 2 pm today I feel like it's over now, and I don't know if that was what caused it or a bug from somewhere but it was quite a coincidence. Don't know that I feel like trying my old standby again anytime soon. They are struggling as are so many other places during COVID. Perhaps things will change soon, as most are doing all they can to keep going. But if they are becoming lax on food safety procedures then I'd rather them just keep the doors locked. read more

Had a French Dip sandwich, no melted Swiss. Meat is so salty, burnt on edges. Deli Roast beef... Very disappointed for 12 bucks. Sad to say I have had better at Arby's. My first time here read more

Luckily I have been to many McAllister because if this was my first visit I would never come back! I ordered a chicken salad croissant, that only had a small spoonful of chicken salad on it! I wish I wasn't exaggerating! My husband took it back and they brought out another but without the lettuce or tomatoe. I was with a child that ordered a pizza with a cookie but unfortunately he couldn't eat tge cookie because it was BURNT! Not just over done and hard!! The "famous tea" us NOT up to standard, much like ther service. My recommendation would be to walk to tge other eatery in the same strip. read more

One of the best experiences I've had! Glad this location finally has a General Manager that knows what she's doing. My family and I come here almost every Sunday and for the past few months we've noticed such a difference not only in the food but customer service. These employees actually seem to be happy at work and the environment is very welcoming. Kudos to you Kara! We will be back soon! read more

Ate here late afternoon in a Friday and was very pleased! (Barely any patrons) Enough parking, clean tables, and friendly staff! I ordered the chicken club and a baked potato which were both delicious! This was my go to place when I lived out of state, and I'm soo glad I found one here with the same great taste and quality service! Definitely recommend for all your sandwich lovers out there! read more

Arrived at this McAlister's at roughly 4pm. There was ONE other customer in this restaurant. Ordered two meals consisting of two cold sandwiches, soup and a mac & cheese. The order took nearly 15 minutes! There were 4 people in the kitchen and one person was actually working on the order. The other 3 were standing around. There were 4 employees standing by the front registers doing absolutely NOTHING but talking and joking around. The manager was in the office working. It's absurd that it takes this long to throw together two small meals with no other customers or priorities. Once the order was put in the window the employee who was bagging asked a second time, "here or to-go?" He had just asked, clearly not even listening. He then proceeded to look for a bag, utensils and napkins, all things he could have done 5 minutes prior instead of standing around talking. Along with the food, this pathetic experience cost $20+. I was at this location probably a year ago and I don't recall it being a positive experience then either. Perhaps it's best to just avoid this place altogether from now on. read more

Oh my gosh! I don't know how I went so long without McAlister's. They quickly became my favorite deli place in Cedar Park and I can't stop eating it! We have had McAlister's twice a week for the past 2 weeks. Drink - they don't call their tea the famous tea for nothin'! Their tea is the best I've had. Add in a little peach syrup and it's perfection in a cup. Sandwich - spicy turkey melt. It comes in a super soft and delicious baguette and it's stuffed with generous amounts of turkey, cheese, greens, tomato, avocado and chipotle Mayo perfectly combined to make it a delicious bite each time! I'm not a big dessert person but I did fall for their Brookie. Half fudgey brownie and half soft cookie. Oh man, it's so good and only $2! Love, love, love this place! Super affordable, food is always on point and extra delicious! read more

So I went there today with my daughter, and I'm not sure if I pissed off the guy at the counter or what, but this was on my labels for my food, that my CHILD found when we got home. I'm not sure if this is how they treat customers but this is actually preposterous. We will not return. read more

Food is typically good, but they're constantly understaffed so there is often long wait times at peak hours like lunch time and often cleanliness suffers because of the limited staffing. Those who are there do their best, but they're really struggling a lot of the week. read more

I stopped to grab my husband lunch. There wasn't a long line which is always great. I ordered him an Italian meat sub which he loved and I order a potato soup. As far as my soup I wasn't pleased with the texture of the soup. I've had other locations and this was off. Almost hospital purée like. It was a bit of a wait time a little over 20 mins actually. When my food came they called the incorrect name and then called the order items because no one stepped up but it was actually me. I repeated my order to make sure the cashier understood what I was ordering but it was still wrong. They charged me additional to upgrade my sandwich side to soup and that wasn't what I wanted. They told me I would have to pay for the side of chip separately which should have been more money so I said it was fine even though I had a short window to drop food off. I understand things happen so I stopped at the QT. I noticed that they had a bit of an odor inside as well. My overall the experience was okay. read more

Filthiest restaurant I've been in. Your feet stick to the ground, the tables, chairs, booths...all covered in grimes. There is food and crumbs littered about. The bathrooms are worse. I've been to this location twice and I can't go back. It's just too dirty. The staff was moderately welcoming and helpful. read more

Went in to get nachos that I love about 50 mins to closing and i got it Togo and when I got home I was pissed. I paid $13 dollars for this wow. I wonder if the condom is in the box they used to fuck me over. My 6 year old could have made better nachos. Get your shit together or give me another set of nachos because that's is fucked up. I didn't even ask for it to be special I said as it comes.... If that's how it comes then they are fucking you over hard core. read more

Great sandwiches, very good service. Everyone was very polite. Restaurant very nice and clean. I'll come back!

Ugh! I love their food but their customer service is THE WORST! Every time I call in an order it takes forever. The people working there are not kind or cheerful. Most of the time I feel like a burden for choosing to eat there. They used to be so great, but service has really gone down hill in the last year. read more

Great sandwiches and salads. Personal service with great customer satisfaction. Great a atmosphere for everyone.

I love, love, love this deli! I've pretty much have had everything on the menu with the exception of the pastrami, roast beef or pork. I love that they allow you to customize because a lot of their sandwiches come with bacon so I always ask for no bacon. The always have order ready quick. I have the app (highly recommend you download it) so I place orders thru the app for curbside or pickup. Some locations have a drive thru window. Not this location but the people are always so nice. If you dine in the do free refills on drinks. The food is always fresh and delicious. read more

In spite of there being no clients present, preparations are nevertheless made slowly in this location. Additionally, the restroom is filthy; I wonder why no one cleans it. I also order through DoorDash for delivery, so please manager, double check that everything is correct and included in my pickup orders. I've spoken to drivers a few times, and they say your restaurant consistently has missing items, and the majority of customers report missing through an app. Staff here also not friendly, they will ignored you if you try to ask about the to go orders, they are very bad! read more

Another missing review. I have tried quite a few different sandwiches from McAllister's. My favorites have been the Classics: BLT and French Dip. The sandwiches are full of meat and toppings. I have enjoyed all that I tried. What I don't seem to like is their sides. The pasta salad and potato salad are too vinegary. The steamed veggies are mostly broccoli, not my favorite. So by default I order the mashed potatoes which aren't bad. Most of their sandwiches come with cheddar cheese so I ask to swap with swiss cheese. They do this gladly. Flavored teas and lemonade are pretty darn good. The flavors are sweet so if you order a flavor stick to the unsweet teas. There is a line to order about 75% of the time. They are pricer than other sandwich chains but you do get a side. I keep going back so I guess I like them. read more

I love McAlister's Deli. I eat here at least once a week. The sandwiches and soups are good and the customer service is always good as well.

We've been here roughly 20 times. The food is usually decent with the occasional nasty pickle and the staff is generally very friendly and on top of things. I enjoy their tea and the reward program. Always nice to get a free cookie or drink. The kids meal is a pretty good deal. They dropped the pb&j from one of the choices which was my kids favorite. The prices have also gone up. Price was $.99 for meal then a juice was also now $.99. Now juice is 2x that. read more

TL; DR Really liked the lemonade. Though I had one slightly below average experience here, management was willing to rectify it. I'm no longer in the area, but it's the thought that mattered to me. I'd avoid using door dash and eat here instead. Disclaimer: Ordered through Door Dash. Dine in experience may differ. Had the McAllister Club which wasn't very good overall. Bread was very soggy. Didn't like the ham, but thought the turkey was good. It came with a side and I picked Mac and Cheese which was ok flavor wise, but it was barely warm. I ordered 12 mini cookies but they were out so they gave me four regular cookies instead but they weren't fresh and were baked too long (had a very slight burnt aftertaste). One thing I really liked from here was their Lemonade. Was very refreshing and I'm craving one just writing about it. Pros: + Lemonade + Management cares about customers Cons: - Soggy bread for McAllister Club - Ham - Cookies *Update Management was very professional and they've reached out to try to make things right. Think that in the food industry having good management is very important so I' going to bump the review up by a star. Plus, that lemonade was so good that if I was in the area I'd probably stop by just for one. Felt odd leaving four stars at a deli for a drink, but a great drink plus their professionalism sealed the deal. read more

Literally cardboard, I don't think anything has a distinct flavor and it smells like mildewy cardboard, the staff was fine but when I brought it home 3 people gave a no to even trying it because of the weird smell wafting off the bag. I tried it and I honestly should've just gotten some watered down cheap can soup and some old bread and got the same thing without the cost or smell read more

McAlister's is my favorite deli in Central Texas. I eat at the Cedar Park or Georgetown location every week. Recently I started going to the Georgetown location more because they are literally more joyful, not wearing masks so it's easier to understand them and order, and seeing their smiling faces brightens my work lunches. read more

I'm a regular patron of McAlister's. It's one of my favorite places for a fresh salad or a really good sandwich. Plus, they made good iced tea. They just put the Pecanberry Salad on their menu. Spring greens with grilled chicken, pecans, strawberries, blueberries, n a raspberry dressing. Fantastic. read more
