Drink prices, but they'll just charge the highest, no matter what you order.
Robert B.

First time coming to a McAlisters, just getting a drink while my daughter is at the dentist next door. Writing this review from the dining room. Menu has different drinks listed at different prices. Iced tea? $2.99 Lemonade? $3.99 Lemonade tea? $3.29 Ordered a lemonade tea. And got charged for lemonade. Asked associate why the price was different. Her response was that they are supposed to ring all the drinks up as that, since the lemonade is more expensive. When I asked about it more, she just said, "you'd have to ask someone higher up than me". Store seems clean and quiet. Menu looks like it has some good options, but this experience isn't a great introduction. A 25% billing error and poor service isn't a way to encourage future business.

You Pick 2: SpudMax in the back, Southwest Chicken & Avocado salad in the front
Arada H.

At around 4 pm on a Sunday, this deli was busy, though more take-out than dine-in. Staff taking orders was very pleasant. Our wait for food was reasonable considering the crowd. However our salad, the Chicken & Avocado salad, had only one small glob (messy) of BROWN avocado. Menu photo shows a green half avocado nicely sliced. We got the opposite. Also ordered (half) SpudMax, which is supposed to have Ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar-jack, green onion, black olives and sour cream. We asked for no black olives, and they did comply, but the other toppings were not loaded near the quantity on menu photo. Just be warned.

Spicy southwest chicken sandwich.

Portion size for a $12 pick two is ridiculous. Who do they think they are Panera bread? Hamster sized food portions. I'm so full from my White Castle sized sandwich

A good casual place to grab a sandwich and salad. Or a spud. I like to get a Choose 2. The Italian salad is really good, and the smaller size in the Choose 2 is enough for a whole meal. I also like the salad and sandwich that have cherries in them. Lots of options for everyone. Good service. Fairly quick during the busier times of day. Get their tea.

This has become one of our go-to places when with our extended family. The variety of choices as well as the quality of the product is always good. Wasn't always that way. Once we came by a few years back and the sides didn't taste the same. Mentioned it to the Manager and he said thanks for the feedback. They had tried a new supplier trying to save costs and there was so much negative feedback they were going back to their original supplier once things needed to be reordered. Nice to see a business admit an error and take feedback and work to get things right. We try to avoid main rush hours to get prompt service. The place is always clean and bright. Haven't run across and employee that didn't have a positive attitude.

Just wow! Tucked away im what appears to be an industrial complex, you will find the best little…read morecafé, which surprisingly isn't so little when you get inside. IF you find it...I passed by it my first go round because it is so tucked away in a corner among non-retail businesses. I ordered at the counter - the Cuban with a side, Caesar salad. I sat outside and my lunch was brought out to me. Can I just say that this was probably one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had? There was a true citrus tang to it that was just so fresh and delicious. I could've eaten a mountain of that salad and the homemade croutons were exceptional and full of butter too. No boxed croutons here. At first glance, the Cuban looked a little skimpy on the meat from what I'm used to, but the quality of the bread and the grill press were so exceptional that I had high hopes. It did not disappoint - the flavors were phenomenal and the size was just right. This is a truly fantastic sandwich and I will definitely order it again & again. Our office is moving close to this business near the end of summer and I envision this becoming a fan favorite, not only for me, but for others in the office. I picked up several catering menus to hand out to other departments and I plan to have them cater many meetings in the future if the quality of their other menu items can hold a candle to their Cuban and Caesar salad. Yum! Note, they also have a small breakfast menu.

We were greeted immediately by a lovely gentleman when we arrived to place a take out order. I love…read morethat the place is decorated with tons of lunch pails dating back 40+ years bringing back many good memories of childhood. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with a side garden salad. The sandwich itself was very good and seasoned well, but I do wish the salad had been packed into a separate container. The star of the show was their homemade ranch dressing. Omg, you could drink it, it was so good. My husband ordered the chicken club and a cup of chili. The club was a very big sandwich but he said it wasn't seasoned very well. He thought the chili was good but a little on the bland side. In all fairness, he likes a bit of heat in his chili. We also opted to get a side of potato salad and a side of their Greek pasta salad. Neither of us liked the potato salad but both agreed the Greek pasta was delicious. While they didn't knock it out of the park for us, it's good enough that we will be back.

This place has some of the best Italian food in the St.Louis area. It's not just another Italian…read morerestaurant, it is a refreshing take on the cuisine in general. The service is prompt and helpful, the portions are generous and it is very inviting and comfortable in the dining area. Everything seemed fresh and prepped on the day it is served and the wonderful tastes of everything we have tried so far is superior to many other restaurants. I am not including any chain store, fast food or literally not-even-Italian places like.. well, I think you know which ones I mean. If you want real food that is real good and you don't want to break the bank, Giuseppe's is the place to go. And don't forget, they cater as well, so if you have an event or a party or any reason to order a large quantity of Italian goodness, pleas do yourself and your guests a favor and order from Giuseppe's Lunch and Catering!

Service was friendly and fast. There is a good amount of seating and the place is clean and well lit. Cute sign from the original restaurant is inside on the wall which is cool and adds nostalgia.
