What I ordered was delicious and had a fair amount of deli meat. Service was excellent and I had a good time. Price is Right for the food you got. read more

McAlister's Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Cypress, Texas

See all

Stopped in here on our way out of town looking for healthier food choices than the fast food places we normally hit up. I can't vouch for their sandwiches this time around since I didn't try one, but my husband enjoyed his King Club. My grilled chicken salad, on the other hand, was very bland and unappetizing. Very little chicken with a lot of dry, iceberg lettuce that looked like it came right out of the bag. Maybe vinegar and oil would have redeemed it a little, but the vinagarette dressing was also pretty nasty. The kids meals were so so. For the price ($3.50) I can't really complain although they didn't look very appetizing either. (Cheese on the pizza pita wasn't fully melted, etc.) I did love the how clean the place was. The overall vibe and decor was very nice as well. Just not too impressed with either the service or the food. IF we go back, I'll try a sandwich or soup. read more

I preface this review with the warning that I was incredibly grumpy after a morning at the Outlets on 290. The shopping experience was good, but I was exhausted and hungry by the time we left. Our group of six decended upon the almost empty deli at 2 in the afternoon. I let my friends order first as my hangry state had left me in a pit of indecision. I walked up to the counter to be undercut by a take-away order. That was fine, but the other cashier just stared blankly on as the customer was being served. I tried to go to the other cashier, but the cashier I was at cut me off and said "I'll be right with you." So fine, I stand there and proceed to wait for 10 minutes while it takes 3 people to figure out what this guy's take-away order is. One person is simply staring at the computer while the other is clicking through and another is talking to the kitchen. I'm sure the other guest appreciated their efforts, but they seemed more frustrated than I was. When the food arrived, it was mediocre at best. I got half a chicken salad sandwich on wheat with a cup of vegetable soup. The soup tasted canned and the chicken salad was adequate. I don't think you'll find me here again anytime soon. There are many better options in the area. read more

I've been bummed with my last few trips to McAlister's. I almost always call in my order, knowing that by the time I get there, it should be ready. On my last visit, my order was ready, but it just sat on the back counter while the young staff, mostly of high school age, enjoyed a long conversation with another young patron/friend. All the while, I stood there while several other employees saw me, but didn't as much as say boo to me. So I had to interject myself into the conversation between the kids to ask for my food. The food here is generally ok, but their tea is legendary. I usually order sandwiches here. I do recommend their desserts (chocolate and/or carrot cake). I do McAlister's and I do like seeing high school kids earning their pay. Just please remember to keep the personal conversations out of the way of the business. read more

First off, I have to say that the staff here is great and I have no qualms about that. I have been to many McAlister's deli around town including the one in Katy and the UH location. Both of which I feel push out great food. Soups come out hot, sandwiches are fresh and tasty, spuds are nice and piping hot. However, this location is mediocre compared to those two locations. The food just comes out kind of "meh". It doesn't taste fresh and the temperature of the food is just warm. Also, this location doesn't have ketchup or barbecue sauce. When asked why, the staff couldn't give a reason. I'm not sure I would return here given the food quality. read more

I tried McAlister's for the first time recently and I was pleasantly surprised!! The choose two (salad, sandwich, soup or spud) option is a great deal, and the regular salad portions are huge! My mom ordered the pecanberry salad and it came with lots of candied pecans, which is a big deal considering most restaurants tend to skimp out on the amount of nuts they add. The only couple of critiques I have are that they should put a bit more meat in their meals and that they should provide you with more salad dressing. Besides that the menu is large and diverse and if you're looking for a filling and healthy meal, this is a place you should try!! read more

This place is really good when they can get your order right! I've ordered from here on multiple occasions because the food can be quite delicious, however, depending on who takes your order determines if you have any shot at getting what you want. I've also had a few girls with major attitude answer the phone sometimes and they act like you are such a nuisance if you have any questions or have a large order... below average customer service, below average accuracy... but if you're prepared for those variables... it is good food (when your order comes out right). read more

The food is still standard McAlister fare, but you may want to check to see if they are understaffed. After waiting 20 minutes in line and 30 minutes for the food at the table, 2 of the 3 orders were incorrect. That meant another 15 minute wait. read more

I love this place. Great options, pick two, salad, sandwiches and soups! Oh man, and they are all so good. I used to stay away from this place. I went once and I must have just had a bad experience because I didn't like it. But I've been going to McAlister's now at least once a month. My parents love this place. It's like a country vibe old deli. Cute little booths and drapes between them to separate the tops. In my opinion, the sandwiches here are WAY better than Jason's Deli. I love the Havarti Chicken Sandwich, the Potatoes (yes all of them), the caesar salad, the chicken salad, the potato soup, etc! If you are in the mood for a good sandwich, come here. It's clean and the employees are so nice. Plus they have some of the BEST sweet iced tea! read more

I'm giving them 5 star because their service is wonderful! Employees here are very friendly and helpful. They tread their customers very well. Their foods are like their service, healthy and fresh. Big proportions. We are a family of four. 11 and 4 years old boy. Boys loved the food. We would love to come here again. read more

I have been here 3 times this year. Once in the winter, once in spring and once last week which is "fall." Each time I was disappointed and still I gave them another try and another. That's all the tries I can take. Last week I dined solo and had a grilled chicken fiesta sandwich. It was sliced strips of processed chicken, chipotle sauce, guacamole and a corn salsa of some sort. All on "grilled" bread. I had cole slaw on the side. I like cole slaw but this was just mediocre. My sandwich was soggy. Too much sauce and I am a saucy person but I guess the flavor wasn't what I expected. I didn't taste anything funny but I also didn't taste anything good. I could only manage to eat half of it. Afterwards I felt sick and tried to vomit in the parking lot. What the hale was that? The only good thing was my iced tea which I brought with me but then I couldn't help but think everything from there was tainted. Other than the food the service was fine. You order in line, take a number and they bring your food to you. In the 30 min that I was there I was asked politely 3 times if everything was good, if they could get me anything else or if I wanted a refill. Nice people really but I wanted to eat and the food was not good. Oh and I spent $10!! My advice to this establishment would be to use real meat for the price and fresher ingredients. In the mean time I will stick to Newks which is on the same shopping center and they never disappoint. NEVA! read more

McAlister's Deli - Grilled chicken chipotle sandwich = yuck - Sandwiches Near Me - Cypress, Texas

The wrap's lettuce was not fresh. I had the Spud Max and it was huge. Biggest baked potato I ever had. The food was okay, but nothing special here. I give it a 3.5 stars. read more

I used to love McAlister's and came here many times for lunch, but I think the management has definitely taken a turn for the worse. I still enjoy their food when they get it right, but there's been a few too many mistakes lately. read more

I ordered takeout for a friend on the McAlister's website today, when the order was delivered, a good portion of the order was not included with the delivery. I called to tell them they left off food for 4 people, and they said that they'd deliver it immediately. But the manager was very frustrated and kept complaining about how she didn't want to deliver it, how the orders off their website are actually delivered by DoorDash drivers and she'd have to deliver it herself. She looked up the address and was frustrated it was 16 minutes away. After 2 hours, when we STILL didn't have the second half of the food, I called back. The manager pretended to not remember me, said she didn't walk to me about the missing items, even though it was the same person. Then she put me on hold and had another employee get on the phone. That employee lied to me and told me the food had been delivered by the manager who just pretended to not know me, and said they had placed it on a chair on our patio. I told her we don't have a chair on our patio, I could hear her laughing, and she told me she'd refund it. The refund is still not processed, so I am disputing the charge through my credit card company. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. They not only will not take care of you, they'll lie about it and then take your money. read more

Food is fresh & what you would expect from a deli. Baked potatoes are a nice addition to the menu! I especially enjoy the broccoli and cheese soup! Yum! read more

Order grubhub from here for the first time. Didn't get the carrot cake and the ultimate nachos literally was just chips in a box and nothing else..... Ultimatly disappointing read more

Ate there last night. Good food as expected but the young man Dave behind the counter gave exceptional customer service. I move a little slow due to recovering from severe illness, and he was not only polite, but anticipatory.. i.e. Me looking around-- "Sir, do you need a spoon? They are behind you, let me get one for you." read more

What a terrible excuse for a McAllister's. They give the wrong to-go order and refuse to answer the phone so I can make it right. I keep getting a call center person who keeps transferring me, then I stay on hold indefinitely. Ugh. read more

Best sandwiches and soups ! Sweet tea hits the spot! Great staff and service! I try to eat here at least once a week it's so good!!

Salad soup sandwich spud . Can't go wrong with their famous sweet tea with a lemon. depending on what time it is. The line can be god awful long. They do carry out orders as well just call in advance. Every single time I've been with here it's been a terrible experience with the kids babies children. There's always at least one crying baby for some reason. This is where the stay at home mommies go when everyone is commuting. Outdoor seating with umbrellas. Employees will walk around every now and then to check up on you see if you need anything like a to go box or a refill on your drink.( remember to take off the lid) MY PLEASURE. It's a little pricey. I always order the pick 2 which usually comes with either half a sandwich and soup or choice. Their salads are amazing too. read more

Food is always good, when you eventually get it. There are currently 4 people taking orders and nobody actually delivering the food to the tables. I count 16 (ready to serve)plates of food sitting in kitchen window. The staff occasionally look at them but don't do anything about it. .... Now people who have been waiting at least 20 mins are going up to kitchen to ask for their now cold food. They just need the manager to tell them what to do, but she appears not to care. read more

I ordered a baked potato with cheese and green onion- they couldn't even get that right! 5 people standing around and the place was filthy!

I've never been to a McAlister's Deli, but I have to say I am very disappointed. Compared to Jason's Deli the food was terrible. I ordered the McAlister's wrap and the salad on it was very sour and hard to eat, however the rest of the wrap was just okay. I also ordered a side of fruit salad, and all I got was a bowl of grapes and pineapples. I would never eat here again, and rather drive to find a Jason's Deli. Nothing impressive here. read more

I ordered to go and they handed me my bag that had dressing spilled EVERYWHERE :-/ I had to wait another 15 min while my food got cold for them to clean all my containers and put it in a new bag. I wish their staff would pay attention to those finer details before handing their customers with a disgusting bag filled with spilled items. Also, their sweet tea isn't sweet at all. I used to go to this chain all the time in Lubbock and this place is definitely under par. Overall pretty disappointing. read more

Wow. Not only did they get our order wrong but when we asked for them to bring cheese, they brought the wrong cheese. We asked for the correct cheese for the sandwich which they did. When we were leaving the restaurant, a slice of cheese was on our corvette. We spoke with the manager. Never coming back again. Management can't keep the teenagers they employ under control. read more

Clean and average in price and food. The staff is very helpful. There is quite an assortment of deli type food you can choose from.

Wait time is horrible, and they always appear understaffed during lunch time. Food is mediocre. It's very disappointing. I love McAlisters but rarely eat it because I'm always disappointed by the quality of the food at this location. I always order to-go. Today one side of my sandwich literally had almost no chicken on it but the other was loaded with chicken. Plus, it was cold and squished. read more

I came around 11:45am right before the lunch rush. Although there was a line, it went by pretty fast. They had 3 cashiers taking orders so that made the line go by really fast. The food came out quickly and the service was very good. I ordered the "2 choices" with half a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. It was all good. I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area. read more

I discovered McAlister's when I moved to Cypress. Now I go at least every other week. If I'm in the mood for a salad, McAlister's is the place to go. My favorite is the Savannah Salad with dried cranberries and a big cup of Sweet Tea. Best salad and sweet tea in town! Great prices, very clean and fast service. read more

I love their free wi-fi and great choice of food selection. Good place to just chill out and eat nice food. Their chocolate chip cookies are the best! read more

First time in: They got my order wrong, twice. Pasta salad was frozen. Turkey rueben was soggy. Won't be spending money here again.

Terrible service at this location. The first thing I told the cashier, Trisha was that I was on the Deli Club and she still managed to not only forget to scan my phone, but over charge us! We waited 30 mins for a double meat pepper jack turkey griller and a spud max to go. Discovered in the car that we didn't get the double meat or a pickle on one order and no sour cream on the other! I give this crew a failing grade for poor service and won't be back. read more

This McAlisters is really bad. I order McAlisters off of Uber Eats and they almost always... mess up on my order. This last one they forgot two items, the Mac and cheese was disgusting and the sandwich didn't taste right either. The only thing they got right was the sweet tea and anyone can make sweet tea. Very disappointed and won't be ordering from here again. read more

I loveeeee McAlisters I eat it at least once a week. Everything here is usually really good it just depends on your taste. They just remodeled it so it is fresh and new.. also the employees are really sweet and always smiling. I recommend the cookies too read more

Food good and always fresh. Ordered chicken n dumplings and it was like noodle soup, with broth instead of the cream. The sweet tea is the bomb. Staff is friendly. read more

So disappointed in this particular location. I love McAlister's which is probably why we keep going back but this location struggles to accommodate a big lunch time crowd and constant screws up to go orders. They are always out of items when you eat in and orders are short food or just plain wrong when you get to go. I know that McAlister's can really incredibly well and serve its customers with courtesy but this location misses the mark every single time. Take notes from the Spring store on 45 and hopefully this business will stay open. read more

For consistently good turkey sandwich combo, go here. Great sweet tea too. For a franchise, they do really well. Very consistent experience from franchise to franchise also read more

Ordered Tortilla Soup which comes with Tortilla Chips and also added avocado to put in soup. The order was "to go". When I got home I found the chips were stale and avocado had black spots all over it. read more

Really like this place! Food, dessert and sweet ice tea!

Never seems to be to busy and that is why I have tried it a few times. Very inconsistent from service, food quality to cleanliness. It's always at least 1 to 3 of these issues when visiting the location. If they coins fix these issues they could capture a lot more if the Cypress business. read more
