    We wanted a quick bite for lunch and had never tried this deli so we ordered a Choose 2 for take out and had a picnic at a nearby park. We didn't have to wait long for our order and the flavors were good and we felt it was a good value for the money. There are many tables to enjoy your meal inside and food is brought out to you.

    Located in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking. Stopped in for lunch. You place your order and it is prepared while you wait. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. McAlister's is know for hand crafted sandwiches,fresh salads,spuds and soups. Huge menu! We did the Pick 2 which let's you choose a half sandwich ,half salad,half spud,or a cup of soup. We did the Spicy Turkey melt which was very flavorful with roasted turkey,bacon,pepper jack,avocado, tomato and spring greens. I wish everything would have been spread evenly on the toasted baguette. The chipotle ranch dressing was very good My wife had the Veggie Spud since she is gluten free which was a full spud even tho it was supposed to be a half spud..bonus! Covered with spinach, broccoli,red onion,roasted peppers and a flavorful cheese dip. Everything was fresh,tasty and value priced. We would definitely go back!

    10/04/23 I was in Glenview today and found McAlister's Deli. McAlister's located off of Willow road in the same shopping center as Target & Aldi set back in the shopping center next door to Chipotle. In my opinion this is a definite step up from Chipotle. They have a huge menu w/many options & variations of sandwiches, salads, soups, deserts. You can get any combination of sandwiches, soups, salads....There are specialty sandwiches w/a P next to them that denotes a premium w/a small upgrade of $1.25. I got half Turkey on Ciabatta bread & 1/2 Reuben. You can also get a Choose 2 1/2 sandwich w/1/2 salad, 1/2 spud or a cup of soup or any combination. Cool idea. The menu options can be a bit overwhelming as they are many options available. Nice large cleanly decorated dining area unfortunately the sandwiches weren't anything spectacular

    We came here for an elementary public school fund raising weekday dinner.  They are sort of hidden in the corner of the Target/Kohl's strip mall and are close to Willow Road if you're looking for them.  This is a new and clean location and open for less than 2 years. Amongst the 5 of us, we had the following all for $42.82.  The kids' meals are amazingly cheap here! - Kid's pizza with fruit cup, $3.58 - Kid's mac n cheese w fruit cup, $3.58 - Choose 2 - angus spud w cup of chicken & gnocchi, $10.74 - Angus club sandwich with fruit cup, $10.58 - Horseradish roast beef with potato salad, $9.29 It was all healthy, economical, and satisfying for what it was.  It was a cold evening and was a bit chilly when we started off but it gradually warmed up inside.  I think the employees felt the chill like we did.

    Been here mostly with work outings. Spacious dining area. The staff and service is friendly. The food is surprisingly good. If you are like me, the portions can seem a bit much, I usually get two meals out of one and end up taking 1/2 my sandwich home. I don't even bother getting a drink here anymore because they come in one size, gargantuan. Last I was in I tried the jalapeño turkey crunch and it was yummy. It is also hard to go wrong with the New Yorker, Reuben, or Rachel.

    Boy oh boy, this place is great. From the service to the food it's all amazing. The servers there are very friendly tending to your every need. The food is stellar and fresh. The ambiance is also very pleasant and relaxing. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend. Would also recommend going for the BLT + A sandwich as it was out of this world. Edit: went again and they mixed up my order. Little disappointing

    This is a good place to get food. It is not to loud depending on what time you go. The service that I get here is also good.

    This place is disgusting. Avoid. Food was extremely sub-par, the service was bad, and this is the worst deli I've ever been to.

    Just ordered a Rachel and there was no sauerkraut or cheese on my sandwich, so it basically it was a turkey sandwich. Won't be going back.

    Fantastic place. One of the best restaurants in the area and Glenview is very lucky to have it…read more It's very neat and classy inside. We ordered pierogi's on a Friday night and they were incredible. We ordered a plate of half potato and cheese and half spinach and mozzarella. They were simply just amazing. If I have to be super super picky, though, the potato and cheese pierogis tasted only a slightly bit doughy, but it was still great and I'm planning on paying Smetana multiple visits in the future.

    Service - 3/5. Can you not see that I'm dying on this date?! Why is service so slow when we're the…read moreonly ones here? Guy said chicken in stuff cabbage which was wrong (date doesn't eat other meats). Missed when we ordered chicken schwarma warp. Mistook 'hot coffee' and somehow brought out raspberry coulis alcoholic drink?! Give that kid a coffee or multivitamins! Food - 5/5 Pierogi plate - selection of different fillings, boiled or pan-fried Polish platter - sausage, perogis, stuffed cabbage roll, potato pancakes with sour cream and mustard, served with creamy tomato-based sauce or the other sauce. Chicken shwarma wrap - delicious. mostly filled with mozzerella cheese and crunchy vegetables, seared in panini press. I would not describe this as schwarma wrap whatsoever. Coffee came out with 3 sugar cubes on the side of the tea cup. The hygienic part of me is screaming. Doesn't it make more sense to use a sugar bowl?
