    Nacho chips with NO CHEESE
    Amanda G.

    Ugh- I want to like this place but there is something wrong with my order every.single.time. The employee that takes my order asks if I want a pickle with my sandwich. I always say yes but more often than not, I open my order and there's no pickle. Why do we even do this little dance? My daughter likes to get nacho chips with cheese as her side item with a half sandwich. Last week that was ok. This week, that is not something they have ever done or can do, apparently. Oh and that half sandwich ended up being a whole one. Yes I paid for the whole sandwich and yes the second half was thrown away. I was too busy checking my receipt for "no mustard" so I missed the up charge. I went ahead and paid for a full order of nachos and got home to find there was no cheese with that. So I paid $8 for some chips and jalapeños. I want to give props to them for having a veggie sandwich- a healthier option than many quick serve restaurants. Even though it takes an incredibly long time for them to make the veggie sandwich (no cooking involved so that confuses me a little) it is very tasty. I think it boils down to a script that the employee has to say, asking about rewards and a tip, etc. - there's so much to remember that they can't focus on the words coming out of my mouth (aka the actual order). If I'm supposed to tip someone to listen to my to-go order, the order should at least be correct. I've pledged to not ever tip here, which doesn't feel great but they have forced my hand in the issue. I did call about the nacho cheese and lack of pickles. After a drive back up there, they corrected this problem. Good job on them, but the consistent mess-ups are making me take a break from this location so they can better train and better serve.

    Nacho basket app, barely any cheese.

    This location has seriously went downhill. We used to love to come here. Tonight we gave it a try again. Pictures are of what is supposed to be a nacho basket app and a kids Mac and cheese. The nacho basket app used to be our kids favorite, now you barely get any cheese and it is chunky. The Mac and cheese looks disgusting and our child would barely touch it. The employees were all very young, mostly stood around talking. No one came around to check on us like the old McAllisters way. We will definitely think twice before going here again.

    I love McAllisters because they are set up like sit down restaurants with a large dining room as well as outdoor seating. I have neve been disappointed with the food or the service. The employees actually seem to like their jobs and they always seem cheerful and friendly. I usually get their "Choose Two" which runs less than $9. It can be soup and sandwich, or salad and soup or salad and sandwich. Today I ordered The McAlister's Club Sandwich and the Chicken Noodle Soup but received the Vegetable Soup, No worries, I like both soups equally well. I had them hold the Honey Mustard and the Sharp Cheddar cheese on the sandwich. The sandwich was excellent! The soup came with a package of oyster crackers. A nice surprise. The Pecanberry salad is my wife's favorite. Greens including spinach, strawberries and blueberries, lots of candies pecan pieces with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. She says it is absolutely delicious! She also had a Chicken Salad sandwich. It came in a croissant. Their sweet tea is the perfect beverage to go with your meal. I didn't get any dessert this time but they offer large cookies and brownies should you want to top your meal off with something sweet or just want to take it home and eat it later. I have used Mcallister's in the past when ordering sandwich platters for holiday parties or special events. They may seem a little on the expensive side but I can tell you everyone loves them and there won't be any left. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more for quality ingredients. I did visit the restroom and was overwhelmed at how nice it smelled. I would say it was the best smelling fragrance of any restaurant restroom I've ever been in to date.

    McAlister Club with Mac
    Brittany F.

    This is the first time I've been to McAlister's. The Greenwood location had steady business for a week night. I opted for the McAlister's Club and was able to sub swiss cheese for provolone, and a side of Mac and Cheese. The Club was very filling, just wish it had a little more honey mustard for a little more umph, with all the layers of the club so it isn't too dry. The Mac and Cheese was not bad, not great, just generic... I should have gone for a soup. Overall the meal was filling and their menu was HUGE! Plenty of options to try next time. Now, I heard they had famous sweet tea. When you walk in you even see a "tea bar"! But this tea was subpar. I've had better from fast food even.

    Stopped in for a lite lunch and had a good salad. Our cashier, Jody, was super nice and went out of her way to be helpful. The place was clean and organized. My only gripe is the size of our 1/2 salad. Seemed more like a 1/4. It was good though.

    Kadence trying a pickle
    Tina M.

    The guy taking our order was not friendly or nice. He acted like we was annoying him. All we were doing was giving our order to him. Didn't see a name tag so I took a picture of the receipt so maybe they can figure it out. Go figure he got my moms order wrong and had to have it remade. She said corn beef she got roast beef . I kids grilled cheese was not good. She wouldn't eat it. No cheese taste and the bread was not right tasted like it came from the toaster. Cheese looked like it was spread on the bread instead of grilled. I couldn't even eat it. Not a happy customer

    The Steak & Mushroom Sandwich. (Half Size)

    This afternoon, my friends and I had made a stop to this McAlister's location. They had ordered the Steak and Mushroom Submarine Sandwich (Half Size), with the Cheddar-Broccoli Soup. I ordered the Chef Salad with French Salad Dressing. Our food was fresh and delicious. We were also able to get a fun-photo of what seemed to be.... Quite the Cheese-Pull from the Soup. The Staff was very welcoming and friendly. However, we did notice a few customers that were trying to find a seat, having trouble with finding Tables and Booths that were sanitized and clean. Due to Covid-19 precautions, they ended up cleaning them after being notified. With that said, if they didn't bring it to their attention, that could've ended up as a potential situation. This is only intended as a constructive-criticism. I would advise to have 1 or 2 Employees specifically be a look-out of who comes and goes, so they'll know when and where to sanitize before the next person sits down. I know this can be a very hectic and busy location, so it may be a struggle to keep track. All in good time.

    Orange Cranberry Club (Gluten Free bread)
    Rachel W.

    The best sandwich place that offer gluten free bread and other options! I love the orange cranberry club on GF bread and it's amazing!! They also offer GF tomato Basel soup, fantastic. Amazing service and amazing food.

    As described in my review
    Monica B.

    I love McAlister's...but NOT this one. It's 90 minutes prior to close. The have half the dining room blocked and instead of cleaning tables in the open section~they are staying dirty (about 20 minutes so far). Ordered my food after waiting about 5 minutes....no one in front of me~plenty of staff around just not taking my order. I ordered my food and it arrives...attaching photos. Pickles look like they have mold; which seems unlikely since there is so much turn over of food here. My French dip has about half the meat that comes on it at other locations I have visited~and check out the plethora of ranch I was given (I added it to order assuming paid for it). And the tea....I LOVE their tea; but the equipment needs sanitized here...the tea is NOT the McAlister's I'm accustomed to :-( They should really the location at Shelby and 31 or in Carmel to find better ways to care for equipment and customers

    Two of my favs together.

It's very cool on the inside with vintage and Indiana-themed decor, tin ceilings, and, of course, a potbelly stove. The staff were friendly. But brother and I were very confused about the ordering process. There wasn't a lot of directional signage showing where to start and each step of the process. I watched a few other customers go through and they didn't seem like they had a problem so maybe it was just us. Next time I would probably just order online and pick it up so I could avoid the in-person ordering process altogether. I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. I would say definitely a step up from your typical sub sandwich chain in terms of flavor and toppings options. I tried the chili mac as well. The chili is definitely à la Wendy's but I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good as well. I'd probably get either on its own but not together again. I also tried the Potbelly/Zapp's collab chips, the Hot Pepper flavor. They were good but are definitely not for everyone. When I visited, most of their fountain soda options were out of order so I settled on a no sugar added Pineapple Passionfruit juice/soda which was actually pretty good. We'll definitely be back - especially to try out their milkshakes!

I gave a different review back when the company had a different name (Roots to Rise) - same ownership - and I hadn't been impressed with their coffee or açaí bowls. With the new branding, I figured I'd visit again & stick to juices. They quickly became my post-yoga stop on weekends. I would have went before work on weekdays but they aren't open early enough for that. Today after I ordered I was warned there were a few orders ahead of me. That knowledge before ordering would have been more helpful. Normally a 5 minute wait or so, I was guessing a 15 minute wait would be reasonable. I went outside listened to 3 songs, back in, still no drink, went back out- 2 more songs, back in, still nothing. Ordered at 11:15, drink was done at 11:51. I think good business would have been upping my size for free, or a coupon, or even a thanks for your patience. A simple, "Thanks," while kind enough, caught me off guard. Any gesture to recognize that wait was unreasonably long would have sufficed. The juice was still delicious, I can't lie. I don't know if it's staffing (2 employees on Sat. morning- no Now Hiring sign tho) or what, but if you are in any kind of time crunch, I'd probably avoid the wait. If you are on vacation time- by all means- go enjoy their offerings. I realize it's what comes with a small business, but also something to recognize an unusually long wait would also be a small business quality. I'm disheartened by this. Greenwood is very slack on fresh juice options, although I saw an Ever-Well going in on 31.

The restaurant itself is fine, your pretty standard strip mall diner vibe but with a Hispanic flair. The music is unobtrusive and it's easy to carry a conversation.

The place did die down around 1pm which is when we were leaving so I would definitely recommend coming during off-peak hours. Food: Fresh squeeze OJ - love pulpy OJ and this had tons of it but the oranges just weren't quite at peak ripeness. 3/5 Pastor skillet - The skillet had good flavor with crispy potatoes, avocado, pineapple bits, and nice amount of eggs. The pastor unfortunately had quite a few gristly pieces that really detracted from the experience. 4/5 Tlacoyo - A classic central Mexican dish. It's a stuffed corn patty kind of like a pupusa which is more tortilla like. You can add nopales which is cactus and tastes like green bell peppers and a protein which I added asada steak to mine. I would recommend adding both to make it a nice filling meal. I got half-half red and green sauces as well and they're both delicious, pick green if you want mild and red if you like spicy. Definitely the winner of the meal here. 5/5 Overall, this place serves mid-tier food with great Hispanic twists on your traditional breakfast/brunch options. The salsas and proteins have authentic flavor although some higher quality cuts of meat would level this place up a bit. I would give this place another try but would definitely come at non-peak hours or a weekday if possible.
