The Pecanberry salad was just right! We had a group of 6, and everyone found something they loved, and plenty of seating space. read more

McAlister's Deli - Pecanberry Salad - Delis Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Family legend has it that my ancestors left Ireland for the new world to survive during the great potato famine, little could they know that generations later, an offspring would come face to face with the great Elizabethtown McAlisters potato famine. One month ago, I stopped in for lunch, I had a real craving for a baked potato. I stood in line for over 20 minutes - the lines move slow when you want a baked potato in this restaurant. I got to the counter, knowing full well I'd be late back to work due to the slow service at this particular location, placed my order for a delicious baked potato only to be met with "we don't have any spuds" I felt a stronger connection to my Irish kinfolk that day. I changed my order for a bowl of potato soup. The soup was a typical mediocre bowl of potato soup with maybe 4 actual pieces of potato in a creamy sauce. Boring. Approximately four weeks after this visit, my entire family decided they wanted to go to McAlister's - the same location nonetheless. I thought to myself "self, surely they have potatoes now!" (Foreshadowing). We arrived and, dreaming of delicious baked potatoes, we all each ordered a meal with a half spud. I had the honor of paying the large sum and I even left a generous tip because I was so excited that they had baked potatoes (they call them spuds). I usually don't tip for counter service - but I was just so excited. Finally, the Irish curse was broken. We Will Have Potatoes! We got our gigantic, flimsy tea cups and made our way to our table. Many minutes later. 8 or 9 minutes? A person came over to announce "we don't have spuds. You need to reorder." Suddenly it was the 19th century all over again. The entire family decided to migrate to another restaurant next door. I asked for a refund. The employee left then came back and said "they are going to refund your money and give you the food even still" Oh my. Decision time. Free food that we don't really want or go next door. I voted to leave. My ancestors have been through this before. Not again I said! I got out voted. We spent the next 10 minutes deciding and working to re-order all the food again. The food came. It was ok. Perhaps I was jaded because of the whole potato (um...spuds) thing. The next day I checked my card account online. They didn't refund the meal. We ended up paying for food we didn't really want. We should have gone to the place next door. To be fair, the folks were nice and pleasant. The store was clean and well organized. One last thing: Don't get the cookies. Not worth the cost. Save the money and the calories and find something better at the Bundt cake store! So long McAlister's, I must honor the ancestors and bid you farewell. I'll be getting my baked potatoes elsewhere- maybe that new giant Kroger has a good deal on potatoes....i mean spuds. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on the spuds. read more

Today after a very long time, I decided I wanted to have pancakes for dinner. I went to Cracker Barrel of Elizabethtown, KY. My wait was approximately 40 minutes. As I was escorted to my table, I noticed we walked past Area 1 then Area 2 with empty tables. I was seated in Area 3 of the restaurant. The very back. There was already an elderly couple (Caucasian) seated so I did not think anything of my later observation. I ordered and as I was alone, I took advantage of the time waiting to read a book I had with me. I received my food, no silverware. The waitress I'm sure forgot but I had to eventually get up to find her to let her know I needed silverware. Pancakes by the way were delish! After 30 minutes or so, I noticed I was the only person of color eating in this area (elderly couple left shortly after I was seated). Just prior to receiving my ticket, another black female eating alone was led to Area 3, I'll call it. This is not looking good! I shared my observation with an employee who I thought was a Manager. She was very apologetic and stated they only had one waitress for that area. My reply, "And?" She then stated it was not their intent to seat customers as it appeared to me to be. I replied that their actions definitely contradicted her words. Again, she apologized. I received my ticket and as I walked to the front of the restaurant, there was a line of customers waiting to be seated. Yet, I sat in the back of the restaurant with over a half dozen or more empty tables. I don't know what the intent was behind the actions shown. read more

I've eaten here once, the food was good and table could have used a wipe down from previous customers. I thought it was a hint pricey for lunch for 3. read more

Service is typically pretty slow here, but we enjoy the food. Sometimes a soup and sandwich are just what you need. We always go half on a spud max when we eat here. Probably the best part lol. read more

The food was very fresh. Lots of selection. Prices were reasonable. You order at a counter. They give you a number on a card you place at your table and they bring your food out to you. I would eat here again. read more

As an OR nurse I often ask my patients what they will eat after surgery. Yesterday my patient announced "McAlister's" and the entire room ( surgeon included) erupted into a detailed convo on McAlister's menu. Sandwiches, Spuds, Salads, and Strawberry Tea... Everyone had a menu fav but this girl... I had never set foot in a McAlisters. Fast forward a few days and I had to make sure to see what all this hype was about.... so here is my review. This place is BUSY on a Saturday afternoon. Apparently the people of Etown love them some McAlister's too. I ordered for my entire family of 5 plus my parents and sister included which meant I had a nice variety off the menu. The Orange Cranberry Club and King Club were . Both are very sophisticated looking sandwiches that were gobbled up before I could get a picture. My parents loved the chicken salad but werent as excited about the potato salad or mac n cheese. Admittedly though only a very few establishments have gotten the nod of approval on those two sides. I tried a Just spud with bacon and broccoli. Though it was the biggest baked potato I have ever seen in my life, it was just a that... a big potato. Nothing remarkable to speak of....meh. All and all... Panera still has the Soup, Salad, Sandwich key to my heart but McAlisters could easily be a decent stand in. read more

Always good. We showed up today when they opened. Everyone was ready and eager to take our order. Food was delicious. I loveeee their unsweetened tea! I got a chicken salad sandwich and Mac n cheese today read more

Since losing the deli in E'Town, we're forced to use chain restaurants to get a good sandwich, soup, or salad. McAlister's is by far the best. The food is consistently good, the service is great, and it's big enough to hold larger parties after church lets out. Use the app and gain some pretty good rewards. read more

McAlister's Deli :/ probably shame on me for getting soup? Should have gotten a spud. Don't get a Bread Bowl. The bread is definitely not complimentary to any kind of soup. This was my first time coming to McAlister's aaaand I'm not too impressed. Should've gotten a spud. read more

Fresh salads and sandwiches every time. Never disappoints! Orange Cranberry Club was so yummy! Definitely a favorite of mine. Savannah Chopped Salad is always on my list of things to get as well. Their pick two is a perfect portion for those trying to get some veggies in their lives with a half sandwich on the side. read more

That have really stepped up their game. The people are friendly and the service is relatively quick. My only complaint is that the no longer have sweet and low. They've switched to the blue stuff. Good thing I usually have a stash with me. read more

Deli Sandwich club sandwich and a club wrap. They was very good as always. Enjoyed. Club Sandwich. Pick 2 sandwich and potato soup on one Oder, sandwich wrap and salad on the other order. Love the food. The ice tea is delicious. read more

I ordered a Savannah Chopped Salad with an extra Sherry Shallot dressing... got home and there were none. Like none... zero, zilch, nada... no dressing at all. I love this location however how do you give someone a salad with NO dressing?! I don't understand it plus my sister lives like 15min away. I went back to get the dressing and they were just as nice about it as I was so that's why I still give the 4 stars. read more

This is your standard McAlisters. Food is pretty good but prices also fairly high for what you are getting. My wife loves the food and the tea so we usually stop at a mcalisters location often read more

One of my favorite lunch spots! Love the pick 2 options. Salads are always so fresh and can't beat their sweet tea. I am almost never disappointed though I typically stick to a few of my go to sandwich and salad choices. I tried a seasonal mushroom soup and found that I didn't care for it. The manager was walking around checking on customers and noticed I'd barely touched the soup.He asked if something was wrong and when I told him I didn't really like it, he offered to bring me a different soup or something else instead at no charge. I refused because I think that's just the chance you take when you try something new. That's great customer service! read more

The unique deli crafted sandwiches are actually very good, however - everytime I have visited...the employees ALL look like they completely HATE their jobs. It's a very depressing environment. I would probably just suggest a Door Dash. read more

Fast and friendly service. Restaurant was clean. French Dip is an excellent choice .

Nice surprise lunch spot for soup and sandwich with a drink. Military is close by and that makes it real busy, so you will be standing in line. read more

One of my absolute favorite places to eat. So yummy and the people are wonderful. Highly recommend

I have had lunch here a few times. Today we visited around 11am. No wait at all, which is not the norm during lunch time at any McAllisters. Today, I ordered the pick two, Italian salad and fire roasted vegetable soup. The salad was ok but the soup wasn't very good. The service was a 4, they checked in multiple times to see if he needed anything. The food was a 3 today. Will try again to see if another food option would be better. read more

Was really happy with my experience. The food was great but what really stood out was the customer service. All the staff was friendly and diligent on getting our order right and making sure all our questions were answered. Ill definitely be visiting again! read more

I looooove McAlisters! Especially their Reuben! It's a little pricey, but with the amount of meat they put on the sandwich it's well worth it! The chicken tortilla soup is BOMB!!!! read more

Food is excellent. Many choices. Polite. One of my favorite sandwiches was the French dip, but not anymore. Once it was great . Crispy, thick bread, and soft on the inside. The bread they have now is thin, has no flavor, and it's soggy. It looks and tastes like they microwave it. read more

The food here is really delicious and they have several vegetarian options which most places in etown don't. They are very good and filling as well. My only gripe is the people that take your order have zero personality and do not engage in conversation with you. read more

They're two for two on effing up medium size (and really simple) catering orders for my office (three months apart - tried to give them a chance to resolve their staff competency issues), at the last minute, despite confirming orders. To-table service for eat in orders takes about as long as you'd expect. Definitely not quick serve, but not full-service restaurant waits. In house: two of three times I've eaten onsite, the to-the-table servers have been inappropriate (one commented graphically on my breasts - entirely out of the damn blue; the other slipped her number to my partner [who promptly handed it to me, because, well, he's a goofball prince]. Seriously. Yeah. WTbloodyF?) Who is training these people? Who is hiring these people, who clearly have no notion of what it is to act appropriately in a work environment? Food is, well, basic kinda-deli, with enough options, even on regular menu items that you can arrange a meal you won't hate. Nothing is exceptional, though. Portions are (compared to an actual deli) small and (as I already wrote), entirely middle-of-the-road for the price. read more

I ate lunch here with my sister and they put mustard on her sandwich when she asked for no mustard. Before she took the second bite they were coming out to our table telling her they were sorry and brought her a new sandwich and soup out. They brought a take out bowl for her second soup. And a few seconds later here comes the manager offering her a card for a free lunch next time. I'm impressed. That kind of service is unheard of these days, especially during covid when everyone wants to use that as their excuse for poor service. We will be back and thank you guys so much!! read more

Definitely a must-go!!!! The service there is extremely fast and the staff are always willing to help with whatever problems that may occur. The staff also attempt to establish personal relationships with their guests. read more

Really good food. Nice people, and fast service. I suggest getting there baked potato, it's delicious. read more

This place has potential but it just seems dirty and lacks an environment that anyone really cares. The food was meh... my plate was dirty and had lots of stains on it. Perhaps get new white plastic plates. There is tiny amounts of food along walls. The menu is good but needs some TLC in preparation. Basically this place could use a management staff that cares. read more
