    I keep finding reasons to why I dislike this place so much. What's the point of customizing your food if you can't even get it right? Ordered half McAlister's Club and half Savannah Salad. For less than $10 it's a steal. Not... To my surprise the sandwich was lacking in every department you could possibly imagine! Puny pieces of turkey, and half a pathetic slice of bacon which I had to pick out. I also asked for other veggies and they were missing from my order. The bread consumed most of the sandwich. Biting into it all I could taste was bread and cheese, no deli meat because it was practically nonexistent!! The salad on the other hand was plentiful. It was a meal on its own while my husband's sandwich was made perfectly. This was the final straw. The food here sucks, don't waste your time on mediocre food that you can make so much better at home or get somewhere else that's worth your money!

    I love McAlisters Deli. There is only one location in the city. Staff is always usually pleasant. Service isn't super fast but you never have to wait super long. When you order I line the order is always pretty accurate. I rated it 3 stars because the restaurant is never clean. From the floor to the tables to waiting bench near the to go area. For this reason I never dine in.

    Staff was courteous and efficient. We came in right at a dinner rush and yet the food came in a timely manner, I enjoyed the veggie sandwich. I would give five stars but the house salad is sad and is the epitome of the reason people hate salads.

    serving sizes are good. plenty of food. some sandwiches are lacking but the broccoli soup is amazing. with food cost on the rise pricing isn't too bad.

    Caesar Salad with Avocado.

    Always get our order incorrect or have missing items. Also, paid extra for avocado with my order and I literally a tiny slice.

    There is even a Lenten menu for those observing the season.

Would recommend the wasabi aioli! Giving 4 stars because the ramen is just ok. Would def come back for the poke though!

For mainland I'd give it a 3.5. First place I have tried in Texas but will keep searching for better before I consider coming back. Service was good. Staff was friendly. Served chipotle style, build as you go. Other then that, that's the extent of your interaction. The ambiance was nice, quiet, relaxing, with cafeteria vibes. Nothing super fancy but it was clean. Pretty dead for 1230 in the afternoon. Pros: -Lots of toppings. They mix them for you. -Milk Tea also served (a lot of options for toppings as well) Cons: -The imitation crab they use is not the typical crab salad I'd typically see in a poke bowl. It does not carry the sweet, meaty flavor of the stringier version. It resembles the imitation crab you buy in a can. -The flavor was off. I could not pinpoint it but it was kind of bland, slightly fishy/metallic tasting. It could have been the imitation crab. Not sure. -Bubble tea was not my fav. I just got the original but that could have been a poor choice on my part. -The 3 protein bowl with a milk tea came out to $18 and change. Seemed like a lot for a poke bowl/drink for the quality.

My parents used to take me to the original location back in the 80s, and it was always a great experience. Back then you stood in line, ordered at the counter, and had more of a self-service experience. I think I still prefer that style over the newer sit-down service, but that may just be nostalgia talking. My son and I stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon while we were out around town digging through vinyl shops. He immediately requested Wallbanger's. Our waitress, Fantasia, was great and pointed out they had a $5 half-order appetizer special during happy hour. We started with mozzarella sticks and chipotle BBQ boneless wings. The mozzarella sticks do seem a little different from what I remember at the original spot, but these were still fresh, hot, gooey, and really good. The marinara they serve with them is great. The boneless wings were solid too, and their chipotle BBQ sauce is one of my favorites. My son ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with that same chipotle BBQ sauce. The sandwich was huge and he ended up taking half of it home to finish later. I went with the Uncle Sam burger, which is a classic burger setup with bacon added. It was very good. Their sidewinder fries are always on point. One thing that deserves special attention here is the bun. They make their buns in house and they're excellent. Fresh, soft, and full of flavor. It's not just something holding the burger together. The bun is part of what makes the whole burger experience work. This place has been part of my family's routine for decades now. I hope it sticks around long enough for a fourth generation of my family to enjoy it.

The restaurant is located in a strange space right where Airline and Cimarron intersect; it's a bit hard to find. The inside is painted bright sea blue with nautical decorations with about 20 tables. The menu contains mostly seafood but some chicken and steak selections. We ordered fried grouper/shrimp platter with okra and cole slaw and grilled shrimp with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. We were given a bowl of fresh potato chips, warm from the fryer - they're good, but I would suggest salt and seasonings, maybe even a sauce for dipping as they are bland. Bland seemed to be the cuisine of the day. Our fish and shrimp were not seasoned very well, and needed more salt/pepper just to be palatable. The tartar sauce is very tasteless as is the cole slaw made with mainly red cabbage. The okra was fine, the hushpuppies were forgettable and would benefit greatly from a little jalapeno, onion, corn or pepper. Grilled shrimp was good except for the seasoning and the pilaf was okay, but who raves about rice pilaf? Steamed veggies (yawn) were yucky. Even a cheese sauce or butter sauce would have improved the flavor. The portions of grouper on the fish/shrimp platter were tiny - about the size of a half dollar and there were only three of them. At the price you would expect a little more. The shrimp on that platter were large but overcooked. Everything tasted fresh - - no complaints there. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean inside and has a full bar. Total for two platters, two teas was $46.88 without tip. With just a few tweaks this restaurant would be five stars.
