I have been to this McAlister's probably 30 times in the last 6 months . It was very good for the longest time and recently it has went down hill so bad that I am unsure I will ever go back . This is very unfortunate because I truly love McAlister's and the employees at this one are nice people but the food is getting to the point of walking . I pay extra for the extra chicken and lately I have been getting less chicken then you would normally receive . This is 2 of the last three salads we ordered the other day . Paid for and was charged for extra chicken . The last 4 times this has happened and it is not like I can turn around and go back while on a lunch break . I have been giving the benefit of the doubt but unless something changes I can not keep supporting one of my favorite places to eat . read more

Went by to get some potato soup and I get home to eat and my soup is watered down. I called to let them know and the manager try to make me out to be a liar. Telling me that the soup she looking at isn't watered down. What reason do I have to lie about some soup I spent my money on to enjoy read more

Stopped in the area while on our way up north and decided to give this place a try. Placed a takeout order for lasagna soup, a southwest salad and a ham and cheese sandwich. All food was fresh, delicious, wrapped well for travel and served by friendly, polite people. Definitely recommend if you're in the area in in the mood for some tasty deli. read more

Schlotzki was closed, wanted a salad went with second similar option. This location is basically across street from Schlotzky's in Florence. I've had McAlister's sandwiches before so know what they are like, but we went with salad. I got grilled chicken & she got turkey club salad. They were $7.99 a piece which for the size of each was an okay price. I got two meals out of mine so not too bad. When we first opened the two salads they looked exactly the same except one had chicken pieces, I'm saying the advertising pics don't look the same as final product. As for the business it had that sticky floor when walking and liquid spills right in front of register. It was close to closing so maybe their standards are dumber at this time. Our cashier was friendly but the person that announces the names was a bit snooty. Some highs and some lows equals middle of pack option. read more

The restaurant was clean. The service was a little slow. I did notice that no one working in the food area had on gloves I normally order online and sit in the car, but today I went inside and waited. One of the helpers came in to help out. Never washed or sanitize her hands and was checking food orders to make sure they were accurate. Well when she pulled mine out the window I cringed. I'm big on handling of food. If you're working a cash register and dealing with money you shouldn't handle food unless putting on gloves. Ok coming to a close I ordered here a couple of weeks was very satisfied, but today I wasn't. You be the judge of my $11.00 meal read more

McAlister's Deli - Reuben sandwich with pickles and potato chip . Not sure if I'm going back - Salad Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

BAD! HORRIFIC even. I ordered a BLT+A. It was atrocious - soggy, bread wasn't toasted, barely any avocado, BURNT bacon, and lousy greens. Somehow, the service was worse than my sandwich. The cashier at this location was dreadful and when I asked for my chips I didn't receive, she proceeded to list the chip options and then without giving me an opportunity to respond, hands me sea salt chips that and walks away. For the love of God, do not go here. 1/10 because the pickle was edible. read more

Good service and food. The tea will have you in crackhead status thou damn it's sweet so you better mix it with water!! Ha. Anyway the sandwich was delicious along with the cucumber and tomato salad. Yummy read more

Welcome to purgtory... Here for lunch. I am not sure if they fill call in orders vs. In house, but we asked for standard menu items and the staff is doing.....don't know what. There are only 6 tables(mostly 2 tops) in the shop and 53 min later no food.. It's a sandwich people.. A COLD sandwich. And it's dirty inside. I finally just asked for a Manger, a refund and left. read more

Be careful when ordering salads from Mcallister's. It will run you to the restroom Fast.

We frequent this location and are always pleased. Hillary was swamped and yet she still kept a smile on her face, spoke to everyone and handled everything going above and beyond refilling drinks, managing the counter, drive thru, phone. takeout and bussing tables. As always Brandon was friendly and helpful. Food was quick and good! read more

We had a large party for lunch (11 people). Food was good, with lots of options to split sandwiches, salads of their spud. I had a salad and half a loaded spud, which was filling. Servers were friendly and bring dishes to the table, including drink refills. The dining room offers different seating options. All and all it was solid spot for lunch. read more

Average McAlister's location, lots of seating for all. Large menu boards to review and order from. They have multiple sandwiches to choose from, hot or cold. My favorite is the King Club, it is very large and served on a soft ciabatta roll. But they have a nice selection of salads, baked potatoes, soups and more. I like the food overall but do feel the prices are a little steep. The basic baked potato starts at $6.15. Service here is usually good, both at the time of ordering and in the seating area. They do a good job of filling your drinks, so be sure to get a refill before leaving. read more

Was walk in customer wanting to order however I was ignored at the counter while all staff there worked frantically on call in and pick up orders...waited considerable amount of time prob 15 minutes to be waited on but eventually gave up and left...seems obvious that live customer is not wanted here read more

If a 25 minute wait for a cold sandwich is what you're craving, this is the place go. Hard to justify as a lunch choice during the work day.

Deli Sandwiches by Florence deliFruit Cup Memphiia. The food was delicious! We enjoyed our meal very much! read more

The food here is awful. The McAlister club looked like it had been throw together and then smashed. There was gobs of mayonnaise on one side and no honey mustard on the other. The turkey was wafer thin, there was one piece of bacon and the cheese was nearly invisible. Pathetic for a $12 sandwich. And I also don't like being asked to tip before the meal was even served. I'll be voting with my feet and my feet say never again. read more

Outstanding service and everything is fresh! Bathrooms are clean and in fact whole store is very clean! Employees are friendly and knowledgeable as well as always willing to help! We always stop here, even if we have to go out of our way to do so! read more

I have eaten here two times this week and it was really good ITV time my whole family enjoyed their food. We ordered on-line and all of the food was cooked to perfection and with the modifications that we asked for. Thank you for making our experience wonderful and delicious read more

My husband and I went here last weekend for the first time and we were both pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and the food tasty. We placed a to go order for a french dip, a muffuletta, and a spud max potato. The sandwiches came with sides so we had macaroni and cheese as well as mashed potatoes and gravy. We had no idea that the sandwiches would be so large or that the baked potato would be nearly the length of a football. We pretty much ended up eating off our order throughout the entire weekend. We enjoyed everything but they forgot to pack the au jus for the french dip so that was a bit on the dry side. I'd still order it again but I'd be sure to check for the dip before leaving next time. Their menu is surprisingly large and includes appetizers, sandwiches, salads, pasta, meal-sized bake potatoes, and desserts. There are many things I'd like to try since I had never been to this particular chain before so I'll definitely be returning in the future. All in all, this place has become my favorite place in town for a sandwich. read more

I've been going to McAlister's for years. I've ordered the same three items, so I know what to expect. The young girl taking our order was sweet and efficient. However, the cooks in back were not holding the food up to MCAlister's standards. My ham and cheese had NO cheese and maybe two ham slices. My husbands horseradish roast beef barely had any horseradish or meat when usually the meat and sauce is spewing from the roll. Very disappointed. read more

HORRIBLE. All I ordered was a Spud Max and total dip. The spud only had green onions and a little turkey on it. It was also not even hot when I got it thru Door Dash. It was only down the street from me. The Rotel was the consistency of unmelted cheese. Everything tasted horrible. How can something so simple be so hard to make?? read more

Bathrooms very bad, I or my wife would not use them. The tea was old and tased bad had to request new drinks. The store that has had plenty time to be cleaned due to COV-19 was dirty, windows, window seals, tables , etc. the service was so bad we had to ask for our own food after it sat on the counter for minutes. Mark them of our eating list! read more

Fresh and Healthy!!! Very Delicious!!! Clean Environment... friendly Service!!! Thank you!!!

As slow as the service is it's a miracle people get their food. As a delivery driver I hate seeing this location come up as I know I'll be waiting for a solid 30 minutes without help from any of their employees. They do not care to help their customers. read more

This particular establishment is a monstrosity to the McAlisters Deli franchise. Our group of 20 called ahead to ensure they were well aware of our visit. When we showed up, we were the only ones in line and it was clear that they had no management on staff. But if there was management on staff they were doing a trash piss poor job. They told us multiple times that they would take our order in "5 minutes" but they failed to do so. Two of us ordered ahead online and waited 15 min past the time it was set to be ready. It was obvious that they were understaffed and that none of them drank coffee this morning because they moved slow as molasses. My dearest great grandmother (rip) could've ran circles around their staff. On top of the slow service, who seemed to be their manager was not following any safe-serve guidelines. She was handling food with her hair down, no gloves, no apron, long sleeve sweater and was constantly scratching her head and touching her hair while proceeding to handle food. I am astonished that this establishment continues to bring in customers. The two who ordered ahead received their food but the rest of the group chose a different location to dine. So help me God, if the two who received their food get food poisoning, the staff of McAlisters located at 1970 W Palometo St will be cursed for all of eternity by Madam Zaroni. Unless you have an ample amount of time on your hands and don't mind eating soggy wilted lettuce, never eat at this McAlisters. read more

Hands down the most friendly staff at any McAlister I have ever been too. The food was great and amazingly fresh. If we are back in the area we will definitely make sure to stop in at this restaurant. If you are in the area stop in you will not be disappointed. Deli Sandwich,Spud Max, read more

Other McAllisters are better. They never make you want to come back. Pretty mediocre and the taste is lackluster.

Have ordered take out from here 10 times and the order was only correct twice. They are always forgetting something that is part of the order and that you paid for. Make sure to check your order carefully before you leave the store. Overall, the food is good, but the service is hit or miss. Some of the staff are friendly and conscientious while the rest just seem to be waiting for the end of their shift. read more

Got two salads for takeout dinner and they were quite good. Produce was fresh, proteins tasty, but dressings didn't have the balance and zest of homemade. read more

I have to "eat my words." LOL I have been ordering from here a few times. The service is awesome, always correct and some of the freshest food in Flo'town. Just goes to show, things can change. will not be ordering from McAlisters in Florence again. This is the second time I have placed an order online, waited the required time and then shown up to be told they don't have an order for me. I wouldn't have waited until the "order ready" time of 20 minutes, etc. I was advised to call my order in next time. There won't be a next time. The food is wonderful but obviously not their online ordering. read more

The food is good, no doubts there. But the wait to get your food is excruciating. I have never waited less than 20 minutes for any meal. Being that I am usually here on lunch, one-third is lost by waiting. The restaurant tends to be busy so I can somewhat understand. In an effort to alleviate that problem I called ahead. Given a time of 1:33pm. I arrived at the restaurant at 1:45, the food was not ready. I waited another 10 minutes to get my food. Bottom line: the food is good, the wait is not. read more

Pastrami on rye....good, but they miss the mark when it comes to putting together a true deli sandwich. Get rid of the microwave! Pastrami should be piled high and hard to get your mouth around. If you're a deli sandwich person this place just passes. Find a mom and pops deli. read more

Bad Service. I did an internet order ahead of time. I got to the restaurant and stood in the pick up line completely ignored by everyone that walked by me. I had to get someone's attention before I was told I had to wait in the normal pick up line (which had a few people there that was behind me when I got there). Once I got the order it didn't have the gluten free bread that was specifically requested. Luckily I checked it before I left. I told them it was incorrect and the person at the cash register was short with me. Another 5 minutes later I got the correct order. The person at the pick up window did apologize but at that point I was over it. read more

I finally tried a sandwich from here. I must say, it was pleasantly delicious. My son had the New Yorker and was pleased. I had the one with the roast beef and ham. It was delicious but could have been larger for the price. The fruit cup was very fresh! For the first visit, it passed! I would revisit. Also, the staff and manager was very friendly! read more

Always happy to find a place that offers gluten free bread so my celiac daughter can get something substantial for lunch, instead of a salad. She had the veggie sandwich and I had the veggie wrap, both with side of fresh fruit (melon, pineapple, grapes). Tasty sandwiches and prompt service. read more

My sandwich wasn't good at all. The chicken had a "wild" taste to it...yuck! Soup was mediocre. Hopefully their recipes will improve in the future. I don't plan on going back and will take my business across the street as their food is much tastier. read more

Went into the restaurant to place a to go order. Mistake. Probably easier for the restaurant to accept to go orders via phone or online and then place by the pick up window. Waiting for a to go salad for over 20 minute at 12:30 PM is not acceptable. At least the clerk could have informed me of the wait time. Now the clerk moved the line and was pleasant, but this is a management issue. The cracker for my salad were stale. No crisp snap. In the garage they went. Manager should open a pack from time to time and test them or at the least rotate the inventory. I have never had an issue with the service in the off peak hours. Next time I need to pick up a salad I will go the the competition next door. read more

This national chain just opened in Florence, SC and by all accounts has brought consistent quality with the franchise. The deli with a southern flair should do well in this southern city with its share of chains if the service and food stay as good as it was on our visit. Tip: get an iced tea frequent flyer card. You will be back. read more

Ordered through Waitr and even had to call the restuarant to make sure they received the order. The woman assured me they would accept they were just "in a rush right now"....which I took to mean my order had no priority. Waitr customer service called and asked if I wanted to cancel the order since it had been 45 minutes. I chose to give them another 10 minutes and still nothing. Ended up canceling the order. Not to worry....I won't bother them again. read more
