McAlister's has always been a great place for anything on their menu and still is! Their signature 1/2 & 1/2 tea is the best!

McAlister's in Dickson, Tennessee, felt like a warm hug in sandwich form. We walked in tired, hungry, and mildly cranky--and left full, smiling, and dangerously close to starting a group fan club for their sweet tea. First, the staff. Friendlier than a golden retriever at a barbecue. They greeted us like we were long-lost cousins showing up to the family reunion--"Hey y'all!" included. We ordered sandwiches the size of small boats, a loaded spud that could double as a flotation device, and of course, that glorious, magical sweet tea that may or may not be brewed by angels. Everything came out fast, hot, and somehow even better than we expected. The turkey club had the right crunch, the spud was a cheesy potato miracle, and even the pickle on the side looked proud to be there. Clean dining room, chill vibes, food coma incoming. Five stars and a heartfelt high-five to the folks at McAlister's in Dickson. read more

McAlister's Deli - Yummm!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Dickson, Tennessee

Well, tried this place again. We tried it when they first opened and had a couple bad experiences. Now that they've been open a while we placed a pickup order. Got home and my southwest chipotle chicken salad had no chicken! Now explain to me how a menu item with chicken in the name, doesn't have chicken??? Salad was fresh, other items were okay. But my main meal, was wrong. Hmmmm and no way to contact anyone except by phone and they "are sorry", I can bring it back... uhhh no, I'm 15 miles away in my pajamas watching Netflix eating a chicken-less chicken salad. We also got two sandwiches. Each sandwich only had two thin slices of meat on it. Hardly enough to even taste it. They have a lot of work to do or no one is going to risk their neck getting in and out of there for subpar food compared to all other McAlisters locations. It's a shame bc this chain typically has great food. read more

McAlister's Deli - A king club - Sandwiches Near Me - Dickson, Tennessee

I order takeout from here 5-6 times a year and have yet to have a bad meal or bad service. I generally order the Rueben, New Yorker or King Club and they are great everytime. The restaurant is usually pretty quiet in the evenings, which is good for those who want a quiet place to eat... read more

Just tried the Brand new McAlister's Deli in Dickson today and they did an amazing job of having my order ready about 10 minutes before I expected it to be ready. It was a fairly large order for one of my Doctor's offices that had been called in. I had the Ruben sandwich which was alright, but lacking a tiny bit of that Ruben kick, but overall it was a good sandwich. I'm looking forward to checking them out again in the coming weeks read more

THIS IS FOR THE DICKSON TN LOCATION. DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT FROM THIS LOCATION. I have ordered from here dozens of times, always hoping it will get better. Once I even complained to the manager- it doesn't matter, they ALWAYS forget to put something in my bag. Today, the lady at the window would have let me leave without half my order if I hadn't checked it, and they still forgot the chips. They just do not have good quality control with their to-go orders. i am worn out with it and won't be ordering takeout anymore. If I want to eat McAlisters', i'll only do it when I can dine in or go to another location. read more

Good food, friendly people, average , I love their carrot cake. Inside service is good with no problems but window pickup has issues, twice now I ordered something to be picked up at the window and both times my order was missing something. read more

While working in the area and needing lunch delivered to the office, I placed my order online with McAlister's Deli, selected a time for delivery, the items I wanted delivered and put my credit card in. The lunch showed up at the meeting a little early, which is what we wanted and the food was AMAZING! The salads all had very fresh ingredients, the dressing were amazing and the sandwiches were equally as awesome. The lady who dropped off the food was very friendly too. I'll definitely use them again! read more

This McAlister's has a great vibe and quality food....very impressed with the experience the entire team gives the guest! I've been here 3x in the past month and clearly the GM is the driving force and they all follow her!....Very few branded restaurants where you can get a local, hometown feel....yet in Dickson, TN they bring it like no other, and they just opened!! Great Experience, Cool Vittles, Cool Team! Thanks!! read more

See all

Unfortunately this location falls short when it's compared to the other McAlister's I've been to. For one, McAlister's is famous for their sweet tea. It's literally in the name. Idk if they are always rushing or what but the "sweet" tea here is never sweet. At all. I've come here about 3 times and each time it's been a disappointment. Also the food presentation is slightly off. This location is just not living up to the McAlister name. read more

I have always enjoyed McAlister's, but haven't seen one in several years. I am often in Dickson, but seldom drive by here. My daughter and son-in-law led me to it for lunch. It was noon and the place was busy, but we still found a table. There were a number of menu items they didn't have, but we were told what they were as soon as we stepped up to order. Service was fast and the ladies who bring orders to the table were nice and helpful. The iced tea was good; fresh and not stale as it often is where it sits too long. It's a bit hard to find as it's in what appears to be an office building with a small, low sign out front. I know how to find it now, but I would have passed it by had I been by myself. I liked it and will go back. read more

This place is good and bad... The bathroom was clean and smelled good but the toilet paper was placed on the floor instead of in the dispenser. They have a great selection but were out of two different entrees on the limited kids menu. The club sandwich was good but we asked for plain yellow mustard instead of honey mustard and they gave us spicy brown mustard. We ordered the nachos to share as an appetizer and they were great but the avocado wasn't ripe. The establishment is new but good luck finding a clean, wiped down table to sit at. It seems there is a up side and a down side to every aspect of this place. read more

This place is awesome. Very clean and great tasting food. As Michelle for anything she has all the answers. She runs a tight ship with very friendly staff read more

I use Yelp reviews when new to an area and this deli had a good rating so I need to warn other Yelp users. Unfortunately I was not impressed. The cashier had a consistent cough making us feel very uncomfortable ordering, the soup was cold and the salad was not to our expectations. read more

I love the fact that I finally have a place close by that serves Rueben sandwiches. Unfortunately it was way to salty. I love salt don't get me wrong but it was to salty. After visiting this establishment several times I have become very disappointed. Not once have I been in that they have gotten my order right. If someone says no mustard that means none. I don't think they know how to read orders in the back. Either that or the cashier can't take the order right. Very dissatisfied. read more

We love this deli! Salads and the nachos are our favorites. Our last order was a pick up order and some of it was missing, they offered to deliver the missing items and gave us gift cards for our next order. read more

ZERO STARS....... I just left with my to go order. The place wasn't even busy when I was placing the order and the girl on the sandwich line "Heather" was F this and F that because it's to hard to look at a different screen behind her because her screen was blank. I walked from the to go area back in front of the register to let my presence be known and find out her name along with the managers name in hopes that she would take a hint about her potty mouthing. Guests do not want to hear that kind of language. read more

This is my first time at any McAlister's, and I am very impressed. I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner going on 4 pm. Not many people were dining in, but the drive thru line was wrapped around the building. I had to wait a couple of minutes before someone was able to take my order, but it was so worth the wait. I ordered a McAlister club sandwich and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. I had barely gotten settled in my seat when the food arrived at the table. The soup was very good and really hit the spot. The sandwich was delicious. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the bacon crispy without being incinerated. Next time I'll see if they can't add some jalapeños to ramp up that bad boy a couple of notches. The accompanying pickle was crisp and tasty. I'd heard about the legendary sweet tea, and it was ok. This is the South...y'all might want to add a little more sugar if you want to have proper sweet tea. Y'know, the tea was my only only disappointment. But in the big scheme of things, it's not a deal breaker. I'll definitely find more reasons to come to Dickson just so I can explore the rest of the menu. Good on ya, McAlister's! In the midst of a pandemic, when restaurants are closing, you opened one, and I'll do my part to make sure you stay open and thriving! read more

Great food with plenty of options for everyone. My go to is always the jalapeño turkey crunch or the French dip. Plenty of customized freebies to add to your already massive sandwich. Prices are fair and it's a great place for lunch. The food has always been fresh when I've gotten it and the online drive through pick up makes it easier for me when commuting into work. read more

Welcome to Dickson! No, seriously, thank you so much for coming here! A much needed "fresh food" option in the land of fast food where that is few and far between. read more

Poorly run and not great quality for the price. The menu shows the kids pretzel bite hot dogs with a yellow sauce in the picture which would appear to be cheese. Didn't receive cheese or any other sauce. When I went up and asked was told nope it doesn't come with cheese. I went ahead and paid for cheese for my grandson to dip the hot dogs in and was charged over $3.00 which I later checked the menu and should have been $1.75 (still ridiculous). I also didn't get two of our meals when everyone in our groups came out and had to go ask for the food as it had been sitting on the counter getting cold. Quality of the tomato cucumber salad is poor. Save your money. It's been 10 years since I had been to a McAllisters in the state I used to live. We took a chance it was better than the reviews and should have listened to the reviews. read more

Disappointed with this location. Food isn't cheap and they delivered mine with a missing half. The half they delivered wasn't what a I ordered. I ate it anyways and ask for my other half. When they brought it out it was sloppy and barely had meat on it! I asked for it to be remade and got attitude. Not pleasant for spending $40 on lunch!! read more

food took quit a while to come out. My salad was okay! I liked the outdoor seating. I don't think I'd come back here. The food wasn't terrible it was just forgettable read more

Great sandwiches, greet soup, and the lemonade with your choice of add-ins would be worth the stop if you are just thirsty. The offer so much more than your typical fast food sandwich shop, and they make it fresh--just like teh other shops and then deliver to your table if you actually want to eat there. read more

Excellent food, large portions. Quick service even during high peak times. Staff friendly & professional.

The food is generally good. Service is inconsistent and slow. Having said that they did give me a bowl of soup on the house last time we ordered. read more

used their app to order pickup but the food was awful asked for no cheese on sandwich but it was covered in melted cheese our salads had brown spoiled lettuce and we threw our salads out paid extra for meat on the salads but it was sparse didn't matter because we couldn't eat it not going back again read more

If you are going to put some at the counter to take orders out someone with a little confidence!! I told the girl 3 "three" time my Oder and she still got it WRONG! Salad with grilled chicken and baked potato and a grilled chicken sandwich. Not complicated. Got to 1/2 chicken club sandwiches and a baked potato. I will not be going back. EVER! Lost my business. read more

Never allows online order. Slow and food is mediocre. Overall not impressed. Also the employees can be rude
