I'm so glad someone else on here mentioned the dirty mop water smell. As soon as I walked in I noticed it. No one else was there, except two people picking up their to go order. The kid at the counter was great, but man the food wasn't. The kids pizza was completely undercooked and not even cut. I did the half sandwich and cup of soup and I'm 99.9% sure the toasted tiny piece of bread had been toasted at an earlier time and just left to use... it was so underwhelming and just wasn't good. It hurt to think I spent $25 dollars for such a blah and small portion meal. (I'm aware it was a half and half, but even for a half and half it was insanely small portions. And I'm not a big portion girl to begin with). I've been here once when previously living here 4 years ago and it has gone down hill bad. If corporate doesn't step in, this place won't be around long. You walk in and it just has the feel of a restaurant that's given up . I give it 2 stars because like I said, the guy who took the order was nice. He's just working with what he's given. It's definitely a higher up issue. read more

McAlister's Deli - It was wet and super doughy. - Delis Near Me - Hinesville, Georgia

DO NOT EAT HERE: Appalling Management If I could leave negative stars for the Hinesville, GA McAlister's Deli, I absolutely would. I stood in a completely empty restaurant for several minutes, entirely ignored by the staff. When I finally tracked down an employee and asked for help, she actually had the audacity to dismiss me with, "sometimes we're busy." Let me reiterate: there were ZERO other customers in the building. When I pointed out this obvious fact, her shocking and unprovoked response was: "I'm not serving you with that attitude." I had a witness on the phone who heard the entire exchange and can attest that I was perfectly polite. I was about to walk out until a cashier finally came forward and apologized for ignoring me. But here is the most appalling part of this entire fiasco: the woman who gave me the smart-aleck attitude and refused me service was the MANAGER. To McAlister's Corporate and Regional Management: This requires immediate action. You need to pull the security tapes and review who you have running this location. A manager openly berating customers and refusing service in an empty restaurant is an absolute disgrace and reflects a catastrophic failure in your leadership and customer service training. I expect a response from corporate regarding how this manager's conduct will be addressed. Until then, I will never step foot in another McAlister's Deli again based on this atrocious experience. I will also ensure no one else puts money into this business. read more

Enjoyed the King Club Sandwich with a Salad . Good portion. Friendly service. Ordered to go didn't had to wait too long.

Good food and nice people. Very helpful When trying to put together a combo. Quit place read more

Ok so I know this place is a chain but food and service are both good. They offer everything from sandwiches, salads, soups to fancy humongous baked potatoes and other sides. The only way to describe McAlisters is close to Paneras food menu minus the bread selection but food is delicious. I'm a sucker for a good baked potato and the loaded baked potatoes McAlisters serves are out of this world. I mean I might be biased because I'm pregnant but I came here 2 days in a row before moving because their baked potatoes were calling my name. I took my husband and boys one of the days and they loved it just as much they went back the following day as well. Portions are huge and prices are fair. What I love is you can kind of sample their menu by doing the you pick 2, and trust me they don't skimp on portions. The first night I went with their you pick 2 and did half a jalapeño turkey bacon avocado sandwich and half a baked potato. They say it's half a baked potato but their half is your typically whole large baked potato, my friend ordered just a whole vegetarian baked potato and I kid you not it was almost a foot long! But both sandwich and potato were amazing and it was a great alternate to many fast food options Hinesville offers, I left feeling full and not completely guilty for eating out. Plus they do military discount which is always a plus. read more

Skip this place. The bread on my club sandwich tasted like cardboard, the counter was dirty at 11:00am when they had just opened, service was awful. The lady at the register acted like I was bothering her ordering food. The ambiance is ruined because it smelled like a sour mop. Corporate, make this better please. read more

Spent $30 for two of the pick 2's. Everything was fine besides one of my sandwiches. Other than the fact that it was small as my pack of crackers, It literally had barely any meat on it. I was excited to try the Cuban with the pulled pork. I literally only took one bite and I noticed there was basically no pulled pork on it so I opened it up and seen basically no meat. My first bite was just bread but when I opened it I took out the little bit of pulled pork to show how much was on it. Absolutely ridiculous and when I first went up there, the lady tried to tell me that that's how it's supposed to be until the manager came out and fixed the issue.. Ambience wasn't too bad. It was a quiet, nice environment, but I definitely won't be coming back for the food. It's not worth the price at all!!! Might as well make my own from the grocery store. read more

I usually try to avoid negative reviews, but the experience I receive tonight (12/28/2023) was unpleasant. I went to get chili because it is very good here. A girl with a curly bob wig closed and locked the door when I was in my car about to get out at 8:57 pm. If you close at 9, you should be serving until 9 pm. (This is from someone who has also worked in fast food.) Then, she didn't even go to clean or anything. She got on her phone then looked at me when I drove away with a nasty expression. Rude and disappointing. read more

My first experience with McAlister's Deli was in Columbus, GA from 2010-2016. Great food, friendly staff, never once had a problem. As such, I was excited when a new franchise opened in Hinesville a few years ago. Unfortunately, my experience here has been hit or miss at best, with all misses lately. Today, for example, I was given someone else's to go order. As such, I had to waste my time and gas to drive back to the store once I discovered the mistake. The cook hastily threw together a replacement Veggie Sandwich which was very light on the vegetables. In fact, the last three Veggie Sandwiches I've ordered were the same way--almost no vegetables. Ditto for the Reuben--almost no sauerkraut despite requesting extra sauerkraut. As for the staff, on most visits they seem very stressed out and unhappy to be there. I didn't push the issue, but I believe a more professional manager would have offered me something in compensation for my trouble, perhaps a cup of soup. In retrospect, I should have asked for my tip back. As another reviewer suggested, it's probably time for Corporate to get involved to salvage the good name of the company. read more

I ordered a vegetarian 3 cheese sandwich which was full of grease but was okay to eat. I also ordered the Chili. The chili taste like something straight out of a can and it taste like something you would only eat on a hot dog. There's also a lot of grease. I added the cheese myself to try and make it edible, but it's just not good. They just opened and first impressions were definitely not as expected, not all but some of the workers were moping around and acting like they just didn't want to be there. I get it long days are long days, but they just opened. These workers need some training on service with a smile. You're probably better off paying a little extra for Panera. read more

McAlister's Deli - Gross Chili (I added my own cheese) - Delis Near Me - Hinesville, Georgia

I had lunch at the Hinesville, GA location to day. There was a steady line while I was there, though it moved quickly and my order came out fast. There were 2 employees, one in the kitchen and one at the register. Both were extremely friendly and attentive, despite the fact it must have been extremely frustrating, stressful and exhausting. My food came out fresh, hot and the order exactly correct. read more

Do not order Mcalisters deli through any app. Their level of quality is a joke. I ordered food for my son and got two disgusting kids meals, that he would not eat. The chicken and broccoli was sitting in grey water? And the "kids pizza" was really sad. Not to mention they completely forgot to give me part of my order. It's really not that hard to achieve either... super disappointed. read more

McAlister's Deli - "Kid's French Bread Pizza" my son wouldn't touch. Lol - Delis Near Me - Hinesville, Georgia

It's clear the owner and GM have removed themselves from daily operations since opening. Staff is upcharging, forgetting items, and serving the wrong items in to-go orders. Kitchen staff has not hairnets its hats on, so I expect to see hair in my food watching the ladies dreadlocks fling around as she moves making foods. Gross. Staff is argumentative and has a generally sh**ty attitude. Not the same restaurant as when they opened. Sad. Hinesville needed this but I don't think it will last if this trend continues Update as of 8 September. We tried our luck again with McAlister's deli. We ordered full sandwiches and soups. Went to pick it up and there were no pickles, and all the food tags said "no pickles". When we asked we were told we had to ask for them or we wouldn't get them. Even though they are included with every sandwich AND they had to actually make an effort to leave them out. Looks like management is placing cost over quality. This is how franchises fail. Seems like a small item, but it all starts to add up over time. Place is going downhill. They were so concerned about saving money, that they didn't even realize they gave us extra soups. read more

Outside of waiting for 20 more minutes after the online order time, that is why is it's 5 stars. The food was good. Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with potato salad. Wife ordered the grilled chicken croissant with cheddar and broccoli soup. The Famous tea is good not too sweet. The cups are big, well bigger then we are use too. read more

I am so excited we don't have to travel to Pooler to get our McAlister's cravings! The Desert Pear Lemonade is now my favorite. If you haven't tried it you need to! Employees were very friendly and welcoming. Our food was really good and the service was fast! read more

McAlister's Deli - Desert Pear Lemonade - Delis Near Me - Hinesville, Georgia

The staff made my little sister cry, and an old man get sad leave without ever getting his food, both in one visit. I've also seen them refuse to exchange an untouched meal because the child with special needs who ordered it waited longer than ten minutes to realize it was the wrong order -- he was in the restroom during that time, but they didn't care. They take every request as a personal affront, whether it's a refill or the wiping of a dirty table. read more

Good food. Literally the worst service in town. I've lived here for years and have never seen a crew so consistently mean and rude.

Now usually McAlister's Deli is a delicious trip. Due to COVID-19 I have had to get their food delivered. The quality is definitely noticeable when you get it delivered. Sandwiches are not hot when you get them. One sandwich I received the bread was burnt, and the sandwich turned inedible. The sweet tea is always on point as well as the potato soup. The quality of the their sandwiches has really took a turn for the worst. Don't get their food delivered if you are looking for satisfaction. read more

I like the salad because that what I got and I will tell you they have great service and great food. The workers are nice and polite. When me and my mom went all the restrooms were clean and the restaurant was clean as a whole! read more

Do NOT eat here. It is a gamble. When they first opened it was all good , BUT this last time, the soup looked and tasted bad; completely different from last time. I will probably never eat potato soup again. The meat and cheese was as if it had been laying outside the frig for a while. They give you a super small container half full of sour cream for a huge potato. They hardly put ANY signature honey mustard on their club; like droplets. Skimping with key stuff is insulting. My companion and I cross-referenced and felt the same about all details. They do NOT hand out silverware, only plasticware, even for dine-in. It is difficult to cut meat and lettuce in a salad that way. All these things are common sense so I feel insulted and done wrong. I assume it is upper management making the employees keep soup too long and leave meats and cheeses out and give plastic ware. The servers are all pleasant so I hate to cause them any grief but, good grief! We were miserable. Also the baked potato not only had a teeny weeny amount of sour cream on the side , but also very little butter. I did go retrieve more of all condiments including mustard. Skimping on honey mustard when it is the SHOWCASE of the item is bad. The main problem was a droopy warm, wilty sandwich with drops of mustard, but it was all bad. The only good thing was the drink. read more

The food was great as usual but, the service was terrible. Very slow,mistakes and really not knowing what to do. Had to return wrong items not ordered twice. Maybe next time. read more

Terribly rude employees. Cashiers acted as if I came in to bother them. I don't understand what compels employees these days to behave in such a rude manner. The whole time I was ordering she gave me the facial expression of pure hatred. Then she threw 50 cents at my hand like it was some sort of carnival toss game. Later on, we received the order at our table and another rude employee yelled at us for not having the plastic placard with our order number where she could visibly see it. I mean it was on the table. So I'm not sure what her problem was. Never coming back to this sh*t hole again. read more

Not even a one star. Do not order from this place! I waited 40 mins for my food when it wasn't even busy! I ordered a sandwich and soup! The front register people did not do their jobs, kept talking and messing around while the manager watched. I saw my food sitting on the ledge in the kitchen for a good 10 mins before they even packed it! Also, one of them was making a drink and put her hands alll over the top of the lid, with no gloves! Honestly probably the worst experience I've ever experienced here in Hinesville. read more

This place is amazing!!! Truly went out of their way to give you the best service. The food was also delicious! Definitely coming back!!

Had the Reuben for lunch the time I visited. It was definitely worth another visit. Will be relocating to the area soon and this will definitely be a frequent visit! read more

too busy to bring out my curbside order after arrival so i canceled the order and asked for money back and asked for the manager to call me she just hung on me and didn't get the name or order number etc so how is that going to happen? glad so busy as now less one order today and weekly !!!!!!!!!!!! the loser employee needs to be fired for cause read more

Someone needs to tell the employees that during this Covid 19 Pandemic, it does no good to wear a mask if you wear it below your nose or are continually taking it off. Even the guys in the kitchen were doing this. Plus it took 45 minutes for my order. Love the food, but I won't be back. read more

I love McAlister's food but their curbside service leaves something to be desired. I ordered online at 4:30 because I'm coming from another town. I asked for 6:15 curbside pickup. I got there a little early and I called. Someone was going to check on my food. Twenty minutes later I called again after sitting outside in the 90 degree heat. I am using curbside as much as possible because of Covid-19. If you aren't going to treat your curbside customers like pickup customers, quit offering it. This is the second time I've had a wait at curbside when I've ordered. The food is delicious but I'm not sure if I'll be back any time soon. read more

They do not prioritize doordash orders, if you are a dasher and receive a McAlister's order do not be surprise if they wait for you to get there before they even start making the order, even if your 10 minutes away, be prepared to wait an additional 15-20 read more

This place literally never has their shit together. Always extremely behind on orders. Don't know if I have bad luck or what, but they never seem to know what they are doing when I go in there. read more

Awesome!! I've ordered from here numerous times and have never had a bad experience! My orders are always correct as well as super tasty! I usually use the app to order and do curb side pick up and I've never had any problems. Great value for the price! I haven't had on thing here I did not like. Great fast and friendly service!! One of my favs here is Hinesville read more

I will forever go out of my way for that Peach Tea and Grilled Chx Caesar Salad! They're both my favorites and I'm glad McAlister's came to Hinesville. Definitely makes the city better ! Lol read more
