    Stopped in with my father to grab lunch after our drive. I've always enjoyed McAlister's to grab sandwich, they tend to have a good variety of options. But they are on the pricey side. The staff at the counter were friendly and offered some suggestions while were ordering I got the black angus club sandwich which is made with roast beef. I got potato salad with as my side. Both were very tasty We took advantage of the nice weather and enjoyed lunch on their patio. Overall it was a good visit, I'd recommend and go back.

    The staff is always so friendly and patient. I was greeted by staff members when I walked in the door. The cashier helped me with my food selection today, giving me suggestions of a few of her favs and shared what others are ordering. The atmosphere had an energetic vibe, music playing, but not too loud and staff chatter. It's obvious they are team oriented and they genuinely love what they do. Outstanding service!!!

    I swore off this McAlister's location years ago for reasons that, unfortunately, were reaffirmed during this visit. I was looking for a light dinner and decided on my usual salad and baked potato. Due to winter weather limiting my options, I reluctantly gave this location another chance. Big mistake!!! First, my salad dressing was missing...and then I saw it...the dryest, most overcooked baked potato ever!! This potato had to be left over from lunch, if not the night before. The weather prevented me from returning it so I settled and scooped out the edible portions. This experience has solidified my decision to avoid this location permanently. Next time, I'll just drive the extra miles for a better, more reliable meal. (I would've given only 1 star had not the sweet tea been so good).

    My father and I got this food door dashed , and we are not from the area. We wanted some good deli food, and boy did we get it. We each got the club, and it was exactly what we were craving and got! The food was fresh and tasted delicious. Next time we are back in town we will definitely be getting this again, highly recommend!

    1/2 sub 1/2 spud - once again no au jus

    Sandwiches, Spuds (large baked potatoes w/ a variety of toppings), kids meals, salad, & soups. This location was amazing when they 1st open but it's been awhile & the work force is not as good as it used to be. We order here when we are looking for a quick bite & can run in/out to pick up. Order online & pick up from To-Go shelf. Average food for little above average prices. A sandwich w/ a side or a Spud w/ toppings are both $10 - $14. (See pics) FYI - if you order To-Go and any of your items are supposed to have sauces like au jus, butter, honey mustard, etc. - definitely check to make sure it's there. 3x in a row - Au jus was forgotten & luckily this last time my wife reminded me to ask before I left.

    I love McCalisters Deli, never a bad experience. I always get the McCalister Club. Hubby always gets the Ruben. So delucious!! Potato soup is pretty good too.

    Chef salad, no bacon no ham, sub turkey and cucumbers, add strawberries, blueberries and pecans
    Felicia F.

    I called in my order and had it picked up. When I received it, my first thought was this is a good looking salad. This was a perfectly made salad and it would have been a perfect salad but several pieces of the iceberg lettuce were brown. I didn't like that but outside of that, this is one of the best salads I've had from this location. My fruit and everything else was fresh.

    Cuban Club with side of Mac and cheese
    Korina J.

    I ordered the 2 for so I got loaded nachos and half club sandwich. My husband got the Cuban club and side of Mac and cheese. We went and sat down was there for at least 25 minutes before we heard the manager say hey they are sitting over there so then we got our food. The nachos were cold and had hardly no chili on it. My husband sandwich had way too much mustard on it and the bar b que meat and ham was dry and sandwich was cold. The manager said she was sorry about the amount of time it took to get our food but did not offer to get us fresh food or anything else to make the visit right. So will not go back there for a good while. Waste of $30.

    I tried this place for the first time. It was okay. I expected more chicken then greens but I love eating vegetables so the spinach didnt bother me much.They have outdoor tables and seatings if you want to eat outside. There food is fresh and service is quick.

    Grilled Chicken King Club

    This is supposed to be a chicken king club which costs 15.79 you would think someone would know how to toast bread. This bread looks as if it came straight out the loaf how difficult is it to toast bread. Do better McAlister's deli. Any other time y'all overcook something I can't even get a potato anymore cause y'all incinerate them but you can't be bothered to toast bread.

    Amazing ham & cheese sammie with side balsamic salad!
    Em H.

    When my friend stopped in town for lunch on Memorial day, we were hoping to find a good local deli for him to enjoy. We normally go to First Carolina Deli, but they were closed for the holiday. Therefore, we opted for McAllister's to have a quick lunch. I was worried it would be busy at lunchtime, but we lucked out & arrived during a lull in service. My ham & cheese sandwich was so good! It was toasted & the melted cheese gave the bread a moist texture, which elicited from me a sound of delight! My salad was fresh & delicious. My friend enjoyed his meal and he wasn't disappointed by our choice to visit McAllister's. We will definitely be back!

    Tomato & Cucumber Salad
    Terri W.

    This section of New Garden Rd, is loaded with great places to eat. We found ourselves wanting good deli but our usual place was closed. McAlister's is our new Go To - here's why: they have no problem with substitutions. We both wanted The New Yorker which is corned beef, pastrami, swiss and spicy brown mustard on marbled rye. We changed the bread on both to a baguette and no cheese on mine. The girl at the register was very accommodating and nice. We took it home and chowed. The corned beef and pastrami combo was really good! The potato salad tasted better than it looks and the tomato, cucumber salad was very fresh. This was a great experience!

    Bacon, lettuce and tomato and avocado
    Janis A.

    This was my first time to McAlister's Deli. It was such a cold and rainy day so I was in the mood for soup. McAlister's popped up when I Googled "Soup Near Me" So I went. You have to order at the counter and then servers will deliver to your table sort of like a Panera Bread. However, you cannot see the food items or see your meal being made like at Panera. There is a large menu board with lists of sandwiches, salads and soups to order from. It's always so hard for me to decide when confronted with such choice. I do, however, see potato soup listed and that sounded fabulous and a grey day like today. I interview the server about her favorite sandwiches to help me finalize my decision. A BLT + A it is! Bacon, lettuce and tomato with avocado. It was delicious as was my cup of potato soup. All in all, my meal was really good and the staff was happy and polite. I will definitely go back to try more sandwiches and soups.

    Soup and salad were pretty decent. I really enjoyed the salad bar and the prices were reasonable.

    I have been wanting to try The Bodega for a while now simply because of their delicious food photos…read morefrom Yelp! My husband and I were in downtown Greensboro on a Saturday afternoon and decided to hit this place up for lunch. When they called the place The Bodega, they really mean it's a bodega. It's decked out like a small convenience store from the second you walk in. We ordered our food at the cash register to eat at one of their tables outside. The cashier brought our sandwiches out about 10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the Turkey Caesar. It had turkey, shaved parmesan, marinated cherry tomato, house-made Caesar dressing, onion, and romaine lettuce in an 8" sandwich roll. It was a little pricey at $15, but it was worth the splurge. The dressing and parmesan cheese were unbelievable! Since this is in downtown Greensboro, there is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found street parking nearby. The place has a few tables outside for customers to enjoy their food. If you're looking for a good sandwich, I highly recommend checking The Bodega out.

But I finally made it back--and I'm glad I did. Service was great. Our server was attentive, intentional, and checked on us just the right amount without being overbearing. It was also nice to sit somewhere that wasn't overly crowded--made the whole experience more relaxed. The food is simple, but good--and the prices are very reasonable, which I always appreciate. I switched it up this time and tried the burger instead of my usual Italian club (which my fiancé ordered), and it did not disappoint. The burger was solid and the fries were really good. One small thing--I remember the bread being toasted the first time I came, and it didn't seem like it was this time. Not a big deal, but something I'll probably double-check on my next visit. Overall, Jay's Daily is a dependable spot for a quick, easy lunch. Definitely one of those places you can count on when you just want something good without the fuss. I'll be back again soon (hopefully without getting distracted this time ).

Added my toppings and dressing and sat down to eat. Very pleased with my meal and the chocolate mousse was excellent. Went for round two and was dismayed to see they had not properly cleaned the tray and had left food particles on it. Not a huge deal because I was putting my food on the plates, but it's the little things. No complaints on food for round 2. Got more mousse and was able to get lettuce this time. An employee had been working on stocking the salad bar while I ate my first plate and continued during my second. While I ate my second serving someone I assume may have been a manager of sorts came out and was giving the employee stocking feedback. I then watched the manager start filling containers by ADDING THE REFILL ON TOP - no rotating, no changing containers, just adding on top. Not acceptable. Seating is and always has been cramped in here. I had to weave around tables to get to my seat. We also saw someone have their sunglasses knocked off their head by someone exiting to the patio because their table was that close to the door. The gentleman picking up trays and plates was smiling and quick. It was nice to see!

Upon walking in the place appeared clean, the customer service, not the best. But maybe someone was having a bad day, I get it. I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch. The slaw was really tasty - good ole southern sweet mayonnaise slaw, not too vinegary. The sandwich, not bad, good combo of toppings, they paired well together. I' ll be back.
