Tracey L.

It's been a while since I stopped at a McAlisters! But earlier, my mind was on a baked potato, and I wasn't near a McAlisters, so I went by another place. Well, let's just say nothing is like a Spud Potatoe at McAlister's Deli! So, I swung by to get myself one and had a nice conversation with the guy at the counter. But, let me tell you, I really like this location; it's cute! It's huge with the wood trim, a touch of moonlight yellow, and checker floors! It put me in the mind of the one in Mississippi I'm so fond of.

Nice atmosphere!

Nice to have fair prices ! Hubby and I was able to share without breaking the bank or our belly's ! Avacado-chicken-cheese and jalapeño sour dough bread-it was very good!!

Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap
Cynthia V.

I hadn't been to a McAlister's in over a decade (literally) and so when we happened upon one while out and about shopping, we decided to stop in for a quick light lunch. I always remember loving their spuds, but opted for the grilled chicken caesar wrap so I wouldn't go into a food coma. Food quality was good; nothing stellar since it is a deli, but it definitely hit the spot and came out fast. We were able to hang around and enjoy the conversation because the place wasn't so busy that it drove you insane, and the staff did a nice job of keeping the space clean and inviting. All in all, would go back again.

The food is always excellent, I have been coming to McAllister's for many years and not only is the food fresh and delicious, the customer service is always great, which is huge for me. I also enjoy the atmosphere, it's relaxing and helps me to relieve stress

Grilled Chicken Salad with Gorgonzola and Avocado
Germanie J.

I went here around 1pm when the lunch crowd was leaving. The wait time to order was minimal and there were plenty seating options. I ordered a Chicken Caesar Salad with Gorgonzola and Avocado. It was huge! Despite not wanting to be a glutton and eat it all....I ate every bit of it. Ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I would have liked more avocado for the price I paid but I can understand the rationing due to high avocado prices. All in all I enjoyed my lunch!

One of my favorite sandwich restaurants. The potatoe soup and broccoli cheese is the absolute best.

Servers dressed up and ready to serve ginormous portions of whatever you want for breakfast or lunch. Bring a large appetite. Large size sweet and sour pickles come 1st to table . Fresh squeezed juice as flavorful as ones we had on Amalfi coast. Signature Reuben served open or closed with thousand island dressing and extra sauerkraut was large enough to share for the boys. Their signature chicken soup with a bagel chip was served steamy hot as we like it. Even has the world largest chocolate Eclair filled with bavariancreme and topped with chocolate. This place would be popular in S. Florida and very happy is here for the locals. Looking forward to a return.

You are immediately transported into New York for sure! Along with New York, we got the schmucks attitude from the 2 men playing hosts. It was a non-busy Sunday night and these two wanted to sit my underage son and I at the bar. Really?! They were obnoxious and rude and put us on a wait list when there clearly were tables. However, my waiter and even the kitchen staff made up for that hiccup with their wonderful attitudes and service! As always, love the broadway decor and music- plus the tables and chairs set the nostalgia. The prices are exactly what you would expect in the Galleria area so don't think this is a quick cheap deli! Quality rules!

I was just passing through downtown Houston when I was looking for a quick snack, and I stumbled…read moreupon this supermarket. what a surprise! The parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was easy enough because it was a calm Tuesday morning. To get from the parking area to the store, you just take the elevator one level down, and then you're right inside. This place is surprisingly big, filled with all kinds of snacks, cookies, and coffee. The highlight for me was their shawarma breakfast wrap. It was top-notch and exactly what I needed. You choose between whole wheat or white pita, and it's filled with scrambled eggs, your choice of fresh or sautéed spinach, and they add potatoes as well. Then they top it with shawarma chicken, tomato, and a delicious sauce. For $8.5 it was worth every bite. Hands down, a five out of five. I also tried their coffee, which was just a standard brew sitting in ice for hours and nothing special. At $2.50, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. The real stars were the cookies. I got a coconut pecan cookie and an almond crunch cookie, and both were absolutely delicious. I didn't have time to explore the whole store, but there was a great selection of fresh produce, chocolates, and all sorts of small treats. Overall, the staff were really friendly, and the entire visit was smooth. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Five out of five stars!

My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.

I got here often with my roommate and always have a great time mix and matching any 6 beers into a 6-pack deal. The fatty brisket and sausage is amazing.

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

Perfectly prepared, big portions. The clam basket comes with fries but I opted for med Mac n cheese. You can order full belly clams or strips which I got. The breading is light which lets the clams shine. The crab cake had a unique-to-me take (Maine) and I loved it! Full of lump and claw meats - not a bunch of fillers. The decor is a nod to Maine. The menu offers subs, several Lobster roll options (I spied my neighbors and they look legit) chowder, bisque, even salt water taffy. If you're in the Katy/West Side of Houston, definitely give it a try.
