    Half veggie spud and soup
    Leah R.

    Their food was amazing! I had a half spud and cup of soup. Apparently a half spud is still an entire potato! My friend ordered a regular spud and it was two potatoes! Absolutely huge! The staff were super friendly and bring the food out table side. Their drinks were huge, menu was big and portions were large as well. I'm a big fan and will definitely be back. :)

    We really wanted to like this place (it had a lot of hype) but sadly we were disappointed. First off our host was so hard to hear and understand. He seemed so confused by the menu and how to take orders... Then he ended up forgetting part of our order. When we tried to reiterate that he forgot something after receiving our receipt he seemed so confused and had trouble comprehending it. I felt bad for him, but if he is incapable of being a host, maybe it is best to put this kind of person somewhere else? Like making sandwiches instead? Or please retrain? We tried to wait at a table and chairs for our food but mostly everything was really dirty and gross... (not impressed) Then we got our food (rather quickly, which is good). The forgotten food was quickly then called out for by an older lady (who called our rather nastily at first). When my poor mom finally walked up for the food (upset at this point). The older lady obviously had got the hint and tried to act nicer... When we got home, one of the broccolis was old and gross and inedible as well. I think it is going to be a long time before we come back to this place. Please retrain, clean better and/or something to improve this place. Also, the other food was pretty good. This is only reason why I gave this place two stars and not one.

    Grilled Chicken Club

    Decided to give this place a try for lunch since I was in the mood for something light. I was expecting a small interior with a typical deli style counter, but it actually reminded me of Panera! I was really surprised! It's much more spacious than I thought. There were several options I wanted to try, but I chose the grilled chicken club with avocado and a side of fruit. It was delicious! I think there was honey mustard on it because I tasted a hint of sweetness and I loved it. The chicken was tender and sliced at a great thickness. It was the perfect sized meal and I felt comfortably full. My boyfriend ordered the McAlister's Club Wrap and enjoyed it so much that he went back for dinner! If you want a refreshing and healthy meal, stop by here!! Pro tip: if you asked for the dill pickle slice, look for it under the paper in your container. We missed it the first time!

    I ordered the nacho basket, and they served me burnt Rotel dip. When she dropped the food off and asked if everything was ok, I told her the rotel was burnt with chunks of burnt cheese on top. She took it back to the kitchen and brought back more burnt rotel. Rotel is NOT supposed to be this color.

    Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Tayreanna G.

    If you haven't ate here before you're missing out. Here at McAllister they serve food kind of like Panera bread. As you can see by the photos I had the chicken ceaser wrap with Spud chips and a fruit punch drink. First I want to say the ceaser wrap was very delicious, it had enough chicken, the right amount of ceaser dressing, and the wrap is wheat. Even though it's a light meal it still gives a full feeling. The spud chips for a side is what I chose and if you're a fan of kettle chips then you would like them. Overall I rate my meal a 10/10. Now my boyfriend as you can see had ordered a McAllisters club with a salad and a spud on the side with fruit punch as well. I don't eat pork and everything but his salad, had either bacon or ham so I didn't get the chance to try it but from his perspective his opinion on his meal was...."It's not hard to make a sandwhich but when they made this sandwhich they went above and beyond, Right amount of sauce, Right amount of meat, Bread is not to thick." He also stated it's a light meal but fulfilling as well. He rated his meal a 10/10. I will state I love how they give you a big enough cup to drink whatever beverage you need to enjoy your meal, and they do allow refills. I love Panera bread but I would rather go to McAllisters, you get more bang for your buck, so again if you haven't been or you've seen it and procrastinated about trying it. This is your sign.

    My wife and I checked out this neighborhood spot and were quite happy with our find!! Very quick friendly service. Very clean and good spacing in the dining room according to COVID needs and the ambiance is really good with lots of pictures from the local scene. I ordered the "pick two option" getting half French dip sandwich and another half Reuben. My wife got the Italian and broccoli cheddar soup. The French dip was AWESOME!!!!! If this was the only thing on the menu I'd rate this place 20 stars!! My wife loved the Italian too. The Reuben was tasty but..... there was not enough meat to fill out the bread and my wife said her soup tasted like it had been bought from Panera..... so I can't give it the highest rating but I would definitely come back.

    Club sammie with extra bacon
    Andrea S.

    I ordered from here lunch twice in a row this week (you know, just to make sure my review was legit ;) haha). The girls I sit with had ordered from there before and I decided, what the fudge. There was nothing fancy about the club sammie I ordered and it was very tasty. The honey mustard was a nice touch though! Day 2 I opted for more bacon because, duh! The Brookie is suck a nice surprise. I did not know if I was going to like it, but it made it to my day 2 order. Yes, I can eat the same thing twice in a row. Yes, I'm that person! Honestly, I like that they are rather fast on DoorDash. I ordered from work day 1 and today I worked from home, which was a little faster. I definitely will return. Maybe I'll try to actually go in and see what the scene is looking like at the deli. Again, I've never heard of them, but I'd love to try my sammie fresh out the kitch and not out my dashers car! Grade: B+

I was early enough for happy hour and had a wonderful Cucumber Gimlet. The service was excellent. I ordered the House Chopped Salad, Lake Erie Walleye, and Lemon Blueberry Panna Cotta. The salad tasted really good and fresh. The Walleye too. I liked the fennel salad with cilantro lime rice. I ate half to take some home and not be too full for dessert. The panna cotta was good, mostly because of the topping. It is not something I would order again, being kind of bland, but to no fault of the kitchen. I'm not a custard-y kind of gal, but wanted to try it. I would definitely come back here for another meal.

Everyone from the hostess to our server was very friendly and nice. They have a full bar and a decent selection of beers. My wife and I decided to share their whipped ricotta appetizer and their French onion burger. The appetizer came with thinly cut crusted baguette. The ricotta cheese was mixed with some strawberry flavor. It wasn't bad but I would have preferred it to be thicker in constituency. The burger and fries came out perfectly cut into half portions for each of us, which was a really nice touch. We had asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare and I think it came out more like a medium well. The patty itself was a bit dry. This may be a one off issue and we hope to return to try some other dishes.

Please believe me when I say be prepared to just look past all that chaos to see the beauty in it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Yes they do offer suggestions, answer your questions and carry your purchases to your car for you. Who does that nowadays?!? I read a review saying not to skip out on the rosemary sea salt bread so I didn't. I mean the smells and it looked like perfection on the tray so how could I resist!? So glad I didn't. It was warm, soft, flavorful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I would return for the fresh baked bread alone. We were given samples and we made our selections, paid and had our goodies carried out to the car for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We ended up with a couple varieties of olives, a couple of meatballs and the bread. All fabulous. If you're anywhere near this area and you need some mouthwateringly good food do stop in.

And when I did happen to be nearby it was always packed. Today I got there at 1030 on a weekday, and while it was half-full inside and out there was no line. Service was excellent start to finish, with several people checking on me at various points. I got the kathi roll and a milk tea. Came up pretty quick. The milk tea was good, fairly subtle, a good accompaniment to food and refreshing on a hot day. The kathi roll was outstanding. Smelled great, tasted great, looked great. Plenty for me at lunch. A nice blend of flavors and textures; I looked forward to each bite, and each was a little different. Meat, onions, sauce, and more. Yum! Wrapped nicely and, though a bit soft towards the end, not messy. There are a lot of other things I want to try. Price is reasonable for the quantity and quality. Atmosphere is great, inside and out. One minor complaint: the bar stools aren't comfy, and could use a foot rest along the bar. There's one on the stool itself but it's awkward; I just used the empty stool next to me to rest a foot. There are several tables inside and out, lots of light, and nice decor. Street parking was a little busy, again late morning on a weekday- fairly typical for Worthington. I found a spot in front of the church, and there are city lots nearby. Somehow in a cell service deadzone for me, but CoHatch is right next door and has wifi... Oh, and the order numbers are Uno cards, kinda fun. A good experience all around, and I'll be back.
