    Chef Salad with a LOT of Ranch Dressing and Black Pepper... DELICIOUS!!!
    Rogers J.

    Several years ago, when I worked in the Wolfchase area of Memphis, I would have a McAlister's Chef Salad (with LOTS of Ranch Dressing and Black Pepper) at least once a week. Two ladies I worked with would laugh and say, "You just made a healthy salad a Fat-Bomb!" Recently, I had been craving one. So at 5:14 pm on 06/30/21, I called in an order to the Cordova location. The young man that took my order (Cashier 5) was pleasant and professional. When I picked up my order, a delightful young lady with a pink backpack (Cashier 4) was exceptionally engaging with me and the customer before me. KUDOS to the McAlister's Cordova Team... the food was Very Good and customer service was EXCELLENT!!!

    Savannah Chopped Salad and Spicy Turkey Melt
    Natasha M.

    I have been to this location on many occasions and am never disappointed and today was no exception. I ordered on the app and it was quick and easy to make my selection. I even had a reward for a free drink, which I redeemed. The new Savannah chopped salad was delish! Excellent mix of chicken slices , cranberries, and veggies. It would be worth eating just the salad. However since I'm indecisive, I did the "Pick 2" and also got the spicy turkey melt, which was fantastic as usual. It was served fresh & hot and had just the right amount of cheese and spice. I recommend them both. Also my blackberry lemonade was terrific! The service was also impeccable. I did not wait long, but the manager made sure my order was being prepared and he brought it right out to me.

    Grilled Chicken King Club Black Angus Roast Beef Spud

    Food was delivered. Chicken bacon ranch sandwich had no chicken on it and was thrown in the container. Potato that was supposed to have gravy had none. No straws with drinks. Update- went back for the second time and order was wrong. NEVER AGAIN!

    Stopped by for lunch while visiting the Memphis. Ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad that arrived at my table in the biggest bowl I've ever seen, lol! I could only eat 1/4 of it however if I were a cow I could have grazed for weeks and produced at least several gallons of milk!! Next time I'll take three friends with me to split a salad!

    McAlister's Club

    picked up some dinner on the way to work. very disappointed with my sandwich at this location i ordered choose 2; mcalister's club and broccoli cheddar soup. open my sandwich to find OLD NASTY spring mix!

    King club and potato salad!
    Kristen G.

    Who doesn't love Mcalister's!? Always delicious everytime! It's my go to spot for soups, salads, sammies, and spuds! My favorite thing to get is the choose two. I get the king club sandwich and either a salad or the everything baked potato, but everything on the menu always tastes great! Oh and of course the famous sweet tea!!! If you don't mind slightly higher prices, this is a great spot for lunch!

    Even our kids love McAlister's!

    This is our favorite McAlester's in the area to visit! The food is always fresh and the staff is above & beyond friendly and helpful. We also love the tea bar set up so you can make and mix your own tea. I like to do a sweet/unsweet tea mix and can get it exactly how I want it. We also LOVE kids night where kids eat for free. All these things have us coming back EVERY single week - sometimes more than once a week! Thanks to the staff for all the hard work they put in & for making that tea impossible to stay away from!!!

    This location has been disappointing on To Go orders..This has happened several times. When you order a bowl of soup to go, it's never full. The manager did fix my issue, but its almost everytime. The picture shows what I got for $4.99..and shouldn't have to tell them to fill it up everytime.

    Hard corned beef and inch thick instead of shaved that was on my Reuben

    I excused them the first time my king club was very small with only turkey missing the other meat with almost a bag full of lettuce. Okay... everyone has a bad day. No I tried them again today and instead ordered a Reuben as a choose 2. The corn beef was an inch thick hard, would not tear or pull apart. I called the manager and he non chalantly told me this is how corned beef is supposed to be. Negative first of all it should be shaved. After telling me he would refund me $3.02 for the sandwich only I corrected him and he changed his mind to refund the entire choose 2. Customer Service from management was a zero. We Will not visit this location again. They are too expensive to receive food of awful quality.

    Loaded baked potato was great! Service to prepare takeout was prompt and friendly. The suggestion to try a soup was spot on.

    The food and service were excellent. Many people kept checking on me to make sure I was OK. Can't get better service in Cordova.

    In my opinion, some of the best barbecue in Memphis. The banana pudding is not the best skipped…read more Every time I go, I have to get the smoked wings. So amazing.

    EDIT: After posting my review I received correspondence from the VP who then passed along my…read moreinformation to who i believe to be the general manager regarding my experience. They both seemed sincerely apologetic and eager to make the situation right for me. In all of their help, neither asked me to remove or change anything about my review. This says to me they truly care about the customer experience. They displayed the type of concern I had hoped for in the beginning. Mistakes happen, so I'm absolutely open to giving this restaurant another chance. The quick resolution did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much ! I purchased a feast for work on December 23, 2025, which was advertised to feed 8-10 people. I picked up the order around 4:30 p.m. Since I work nights, we didn't open the bags until later. Once everything was laid out, I realized a double order of pulled pork was missing. I called the restaurant at 9:48 p.m. to report the issue. After explaining the situation, the associate who answered placed me on hold, which was concerning since the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. When she returned, I had to explain the issue again before being transferred to a manager. The manager, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, was very kind and attentive. He acknowledged the mistake immediately and stated that he would issue a refund for the missing items. He also collected my personal information and said he would be sending a gift card for the inconvenience. To date, I have received neither the refund nor the gift card, and I haven't received any follow-up from the restaurant. While the food itself was pretty good, the lack of follow-through in customer service makes me hesitant to patronize this business again. For future reference: under-promise and over-deliver.
