    McAlister's club...err 3/4 of it anyways
    Tuan D.

    Well...requested extra pickle spears, ended up with zero... Ordered McAlister's club...got 3/4 of a sandwich. WTF is wrong with this location? Plano location is always on point. Yall need training courses from them.

    The chili
    Duane S.

    Service was ok. Nice high school kids. Atmosphere was standard. But the food left something to be desired. I believe the chili was wolfs brand with no beans. Almost 100% certain of that and it was $7 for a bowl. My wife's sandwich was also meager. All in all, not a great experience.

    1/2 Roast beef spud and Memphian half sandwich. This isn't a 'key size' sandwich.

    We were looking for a place to get a soup, sandwich and potato for dinner. We opted for McAlister's because we wanted a good iced tea. Upon reading the reviews, I was afraid we would be disappointed. Thankfully we weren't. The service was great, Daya took our order and the assistant manager whose name escapes me checked up on us. When the food arrived, it looked and tasted great. If you're hesitant, I'd give them a chance. The restaurant was about 25% full so I know there's many folks who come, enjoy their meal and go on with their life. Ywe likely only read reviews from the small percentage who had an issue. No issues here.

    Pick two

    Since when is this half a sandwich, car key for reference. Brought it back and he said "that's correct." I've eaten here before and it's not. Shoulda gone to Jason's deli

    After ordering we waited 30 min and still had no food. When I went to check on it, they had lost the order. When I asked for the manager I was told he was scared to come out. Several other customers were also missing orders, we were waiting long enough to make friends. After re-ordering we did finally receive food, such as it was. I had ordered the Horseradish Roast Beef with Cheddar. What I got was one sad piece of beef on a large piece of bread with way too much sauce. Given the pictures around the place I was expecting a bit more. The manager, finally, did come out and give us some coupons for free meals. Not sure why we would use them.

    "Bottom of the Barrel" Chili
    Lauren M.

    This is my second 1-star experience with this location. This time, I placed a takeout order through the McAlister's app. My chicken caesar wrap came unfolded in the container and was a complete mess -- basically a salad atop a soggy tortilla. (Shouldn't it have been wrapped up or stuck together with toothpicks? What dummy just throws a wrap in a to-go box?) I was also shorted a pickle spear. And the worst offender? The cup of chili I ordered was a SOLID MASS in a half-filled cup. Burned lumps were clearly visible. It had obviously been scraped out of the bottom of a pot by a lazy employee who didn't want to deal with refilling the pot. (And, look, I've worked in restaurants. I know that this chili isn't made in-house. We're talking about something as simple as cracking open a new can and dumping it in a pot. How lazy can you get?) When I called the restaurant to share my thoughts with the manager, I was told that he was too busy to come to the phone. Which holds with my previous review, in which I mention how SWAMPED the manager always seems. Every time I visit, there are three bored-looking high school kids standing behind the counter doing NOTHING while the manager dashes around the restaurant, delivering orders and putting out fires. Clearly the employees lack training on how to better run the front-of-the-house, whereas the kitchen could benefit from a manager's attention. There is just no excuse for serving the slop I was given. I LOVE McAlister's. I've lived near several other locations (Denton being one) that were consistently excellent, well-managed, and staffed with employees who were present and engaged in their work. This location has NEVER gotten their act together, despite the many, many negative reviews it has received here on Yelp. What is going on at this restaurant and why hasn't it been fixed?

    Hungry for order 46 1st time at this location
    Doug C.

    1st visit to this location for short road trip following Turkey Day Nov 2022. We have eaten at other locations in Collin county and well taken care of and plenty of staff on hand. We were interested in salad/soup combo which is right on the menu. See photo. Next time one of us will get soup/salad the other soup/sandwich and split the difference. On a future visit we must throw caution to wind and get the Oreo cheesecake. The promotion photos at the counter were to die for. Yummy.

    Food is so good. And kids meals are only 0.99!!! Also totally recommend the Country Potato soup! Delicious.

    Hit up a new morning bakery place on Saturday at about 8 am. It was still pretty empty when I came…read moreand they still had everything. I heard they sell out quickly so I came early. The interior isn't big but there are 4 small tables for seating and a bench for waiting. They have sweet and savory morning baked goods - croissants "croix", daily made sourdough flavors, sandwiches, and coffee. The service was great - the cashier was super helpful and gave good honest recommendations. I got a sandwich (mortadella, burrata, pistachio), 3 croix's (strawberry and cream, everything, and pistachio), and a black cold brew. Food came out in about 10 mins (about the time it took to write this review and take a couple pics). Food was really good - bread was super crunchy and everything was very flavorful. Not gonna go in detail. Try it yourself. I promise it's worth waking up at 7am and driving out here! Note - while I didn't get any, I did notice that the sourdough is premade and you get it instantly.

    The pistachio almond was a slam dunk, holy cow. This is an official favorite of mine…read more Okay first things first - super cute vibes and presentation, I do love the art of pastries on the wall, super enriching! Staff is also kind. So the baker, Rodrigo, is from Mexico and you can taste the influence in the cream. The crossaint have perfect flakiness - soft on the inside and perfect flakiness on the outside! This goes for the pistachio crossaint and the vanilla cream cruffin. The size, portion, flavor are all done right (though I wish I could taste more vanilla in the cream cruffin). The kougin amann is also more traditional - caramelized and hardened (I suggest adding some fruits inside, a bakery I went to in Jersey City did that and it was all I ate from them for awhile.) I'm giving 5 stars because while there is room for something new, you have to go for the pistachio crossaint.
