    the interior of a restaurant
    Deana S.

    Cute, clean little deli with a great selection of soups, salads, sandwiches and oh my heart be still for carrot cake!! I had the Garden fresh Turkey sandwich which had lots of lettuce, spinach tomoato and avacado. The multi-grain bread was soft yet full of seeds and grains. My daughters club was equally yummy. Service was good as well.

    We really enjoyed all our food. It was hot and fresh, and the service was spectacular. We will definitely come back

    Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Spud
    Faith T.

    Review based on online curbside ordering Ordering online was very simple and quick. I'm glad I was force to create an account like some restaurants require. I ordered the pick two: Chipotle Chicken Spud & 1/2 Grilled Chicken Croissant Sandwich. My order was said to be ready at 7:58. After arriving and notifying the store I was here I immediately received my order. I was happy to have a hot baked potato when I got home with all listed ingredients. The sandwich was prepared well also. Napkins and plastic ware also provided. The meal was super filling. Great job

    Veggie sandwich
    Meka M.

    I normally always order from this Deli on my way to work and I always get the veggie sandwich on a wrap, because I don't eat meat. Lately for the past few months my order is always missing something, the sandwich or wrap be extremely hot with pepper and they always forget the pickle. I didn't use to check my order because they always got it right, but now I have to. This morning I ordered 2 wraps and one was bread which appeared to have something on it and the cheese is old. I didn't eat it. Also the wrap is sloppy made. They didn't put pickles In neither box. I didn't have time to check it and they messed my order up. They must have new team members and they need to be retrained, how can you mess up a veggie wrap or sandwich.

    Don't get a side of broccoli from this location because apparently they can only give you approx. 7-10 pieces

    Patio area
    James C.

    The staff was courteous and helpful. They brought our food right out to us on the patio and the food was as good as we hoped for. The outside patio has nice music but there is nothing to dampen the ambient noise from close intersections and street traffic near by. They had signage up to wear mask by state mandate. It was a great outing. Very thankful.

    OVERSIZED SPUD!! (GRILLED CHICKEN SPUD)
    Shionda F.

    Why am i just now seeing they opened this new location of Mcalisters next to one of my favorite pizza spots Mods pizza. The employees working at this location are super nice and mannerable most of the employees working here appeared to be super young. I'm not going to lie i usually always go to Mcalisters for one thing and thats the ginormous spud! It's pretty much an over sized custom baked potatoe and they are so good. Today i had the grilled chicken spud.One of my favorite ones on the menu! You can customize the spud to your likeing if you are not a fan of the ones on the menu. Alot of customers i notice order the veggie spud or they will order a spud and add their own toppings they like or love! Its all your choice and i love it .You have to go check out these super spuds!!

A friendly young woman greeted us and prepared our bowls with care, walking us down the options without rushing. Mrs. K. chose a rice base topped with a sweet and spicy sauce that struck a lovely balance. I went with greens and a spicy avocado sauce that added just the right kick without overwhelming the freshness of the ingredients. Both bowls were vibrant, well-portioned, and reasonably priced at $14, though there is a $2 upcharge for surimi and for masago, which is worth noting if you're customizing your bowl with extras. The restaurant itself was spotless. The assembly line looked well maintained, with ingredients neatly arranged and everything moving smoothly. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the pride they take in their setup and the consistency they aim to deliver. As a pescatarian, Mrs. K. has a soft spot for poke, and this spot hit the mark. I have no doubt we'll be back--probably sooner than later. [Review 1312 of 2025 - 4446 in North Carolina - 24864 overall]

The picnic tables were a little dirty so we decide to eat at the tables closer to the window. My bowl was good and very light. I was extremely hungry after eating it. I think the protein size should have been a little bit more for the price. If you look for a light light option here you got. It was OK.

They were very good and solid sized portion. For the mains, we both ordered filets medium rare. When the steaks arrived both were medium. If it was a ribeye, I probably would have just eaten it but an overcooked filet is no bueno. So we sent back. The bartender/server returned with the steaks as the cook asked us to "cut in the middle." A perfectly cooked filet is cooked the same way throughout. But we obliged and yes, overcooked. This is where the problem arised. It probably took 20 minutes to get our new steaks. Can't help but to think this was done with purpose. But the second round of steaks were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I got the creamed corn for a side and it was flavorless. Do not recommend. I also ordered blackened shrimp with my steak. They were very good but lost some points as they were cold by the time my steak came back out. The steak issue was handled poorly. Place is quiet. May go back.

The first thing I'll say is pay attention to the portion sizes before you order. Their rice bowls are huge. Seriously. Ask a few questions first so you know exactly what you're getting, unless you're planning on having leftovers for a day or two. I ordered a rice bowl with brown rice and added some chicken wings on the side. The bowl was packed with rice, vegetables, and the sauce I selected, and everything worked well together. The food was flavorful, filling, and honestly more than I expected. I didn't finish it in one sitting, and it took me almost two days to work through everything. The chicken wings were good too, and I liked that they had plenty of options and different combinations to choose from on the menu. They don't have specialty house-made drinks, but they do offer your standard Coke and Pepsi products. The restaurant also has plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a relaxed atmosphere. When I visited, they had soccer playing in the background, which added to the vibe. One thing that stood out was the owner. He was there helping customers, answering questions, and making recommendations. I always appreciate seeing that level of involvement. Overall, this is a solid local spot. My only advice is to make sure you understand the portion sizes before ordering because they are not small. If you're in the Charlotte area and looking for a good rice bowl, wings, or just a filling meal, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    I've been keeping this spot under wraps for a while, but it's finally time to let you in on one of…read moreCharlotte's best-kept secrets. Tasty Bowl Subs N Such in Steele Creek is worth the drive. I originally discovered Tasty Bowl through a catering website when I ordered 60 bowls for my office, and the feedback from my coworkers was off the charts. After that, I knew I had to check it out in person. Today, I finally made the trip, and it was worth every mile. The location is tucked away in a corporate park, so you might think you're in the wrong spot at first. But when you see the wacky inflatable arms guy waving outside, you'll know you've arrived at Tasty Bowl. Not only did I get to try the food fresh from the source, but I also had the pleasure of meeting Raj, the owner. If you visit, you'll probably meet him too since he's always there making sure every customer is well taken care of. Raj is one of the most friendly, caring, and genuine people I've ever met. We ended up talking for over two hours about food, life, and world issues. He's the kind of guy you could've spent hours on the phone with as a kid, chatting away on a corded landline in the '90s. The story behind Tasty Bowl is just as unique as Raj himself. While on vacation in Jamaica, he hired locals to cook for him during his stay. He was so inspired by their flavors and techniques that when he returned to the U.S., he decided to transform his sandwich shop into what is now Tasty Bowl. After testing out his new creations with customers, they told him he needed to start serving these bowls full-time, and just like that, Tasty Bowl was born. Tasty Bowl specializes in hefty, flavor-packed rice and salad bowls with a variety of proteins, cheeses, toppings, and sauces. You can pick from signature bowls created by loyal customers or build your own from scratch. Tasty Bowl has many gluten-free menu items, making it a great spot for those with dietary restrictions. Whether you're looking for a bowl, salad, or protein-packed meal, there are plenty of options to choose from. If you come here enough, Raj might even name a bowl after you. I ordered the Cheezy Buffalo Bacon bowl, and it was fantastic. It came with buttered buffalo rice, grilled chicken, grilled onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, all drizzled with hot sauce and shredded cheese. The spice level was just right for someone like me who doesn't like overly spicy foods. One important tip is to make sure to mix up your bowl before digging in so that all the shredded cheese melts and the sauces blend perfectly into the rice. There are many other signature bowls I need to try, and maybe one day I'll finally be brave enough to create my own bowl. If I do, who knows? Hopefully Raj will add it to his menu board so everyone can order it. Raj is also opening a Tasty Bowls & a vegetarian Indian spot in a ghost kitchen in South End, meaning soon you'll be able to order Tasty Bowl and Vegetarian Indian food through third-party delivery services or pick up late-night meals until 1 AM. This place is a hidden secret that everyone in Charlotte needs to know about. If you haven't been yet, make the drive to Steele Creek and see for yourself. It won't stay a secret for long.
