    BLT Avocado
    Dustin C.

    Delicious meal! Had a BLTA and asked for crispy bacon, and they delivered! The broccoli cheddar soup was hot and delicious. Overall, we placed our order quickly and they delivered to our table quickly and politely. The staff here is really friendly and helpful. Plenty of space to eat, and they have a room that if you have a large group, would be able to accommodate.

    Ordered chicken tortilla soup and got broccoli cheddar. So disappointed. I of course did take away so there was no exchanging it. Waste of money and time.

    3 stars. Great lunch option... if you have time to wait! The line is often out the door. Why have only one register open during the rush? And be careful because people enter from the pickup door and cut the line when they see people they know. So irritating! Arrrgh! But the food is good. It's fresh. It's reasonably priced. Kids meals are a fabulous value. My littles enjoy them immensely. Buy a tumbler and get refills for only $.99! Totally worth it.

    You can get up to 4 free teas per order on free tea day

    Hurry to McAlister's! It's the last day of free tea day! And they do not skimp, you get a huge serving of tea AND you can get up to 4 free teas per order! Yummy tea and it's free!!! Run!!

    Highly questionable splotchy red stained wrapper

    My to-go sandwich came in what appears to be a bloody fingerprint wrapper. When I called, the manager told me that the wrappers were arriving at the store this way, but he said he just now noticed that when I called. No, that is unbelievable. Absolutely disgusting and will be reported accordingly. This thing went straight in the trash, and I will not return.

    McAlister's is always one of my go to comfort foods. Stopped by this location and was impressed with their Covid precautions. A lot of other locations have staff wearing their masks incorrectly. Highly recommend the Sweet Chipotle Chicken. I always substitute the Chipotle Ranch, in place of the Chipotle Peach!

    Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Will also come around to check on drink refill needs. Baked potato meals are huge. I had the half reuban (always gotta try a reuban), and a cup of corn crab chowder, and both were a #yum. #ReviewsByRL

    We got McAllister's curbside pick up today for lunch. They are not allowing anybody to go in and pick up their own food, which made me a bit nervous about the time it was going to take to get our food. However, they have been running orders out super fast one after another and updating us on the order status. Awesome service!! Way to step it up during this crazy time!!!!

    I really enjoy McAlister's because they have such a wide variety of items. For a fast(er) food establishment, they have a surprisingly large offering of vegetarian options. My favorite menu item, though, is the chicken spud. If you've never had a potato here, be warned--they're huge!! Definitely a filling meal, assuming you can even finish the potato. (I can. No judgement, please!) I also love their potato salad. I'm starting to see a theme. Many people love the sweet tea here. I'm not a fan of sweet tea but their unsweetened tea is good! Drinks are huge too! And free refills if you're dining in! I find that the takeout is often slow so we always call ahead and give it a little longer than the time quoted. Although we've not actually tried the takeout at this particular location, the Carmel locations seem to be consistently slow. Give it a try--and order the spud!

    $6.99 for a taco salad which consisted of 4 or 5 tortilla chips, some greens with too much dressing, and not much else. Avoid

    I'm a vegetarian visiting my parents from out of state and was expecting the usual sub-par…read moreIndianapolis lunch and dinner options... but then we gave this place a try and wow!! A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had!

    6.24.24 came during lunchtime with some coworkers, 7 of us in total. The location was attractive…read morebecuase some of our group have allergy or other food needs, and they can accommodate. The interior is bright and fun. They're in the strip mall at 86th with the Noral Target, so there was plenty of parking. We each ordered separately, but they nicely put our order on the same overall table ticket so that it was delivered at roughly the same time. I hadn't been here before, and was excited to try it. You order at the front counter then they bring it to our table. The menu can be a little daunting if you aren't sure what you want. I chose a chicken enchilada bowl, but was then told they were out of cheese. Nothing else was jumping out at me, so I just ordered the avocado toast. (see pics) Our food came fairly quickly. I will say, my coworkers' dishes looked good. I was pretty disappointed with my avocado toast. For $9, it was a sinlgle slice of bread, only very lightly toasted. The jammy egg was maybe 1 hard boiled egg, chopped up on top, and it was cold. It did have shredded cheese over it (not sure why that couldn't have been used in my enchilada bowl?) . It also tased like it had a lot of "everything bagel" spices on it, and was overall fairly salty. So it was a little disappoining. And I left hungry. But I wasn't in the mood to order anything else. My coworkers had sweet potato fries (I tried some - really good!), and different bowls that looked good, so I would give them another try sometime, but the avocado toast did not live up to expectations. #ReviewsByRL
