    Choose 2 - BLT+A and Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Christian C.

    McAlister's has been a go to deli since 2009 for me, more specifically this location. Service was great, the parking lot is shared amongst several other businesses therefore cluttered, & the outdoor patio is CLEAN! I am giving this visit 4 because both mine & my daughter's sandwiches were cool and our soups were not hot. The choose 2 ( 1/2 sandwhich & cup of soup) is perfectly priced & a great amount of food.

    Take out only. No staff for inside dinning.

    Take out only November 2021 because no staff available for inside dinning. So we ate outside. Excellent Sandwich and soups. All around very good. Would of like to eat inside but the food was excellent.

    Mcallisters lack of following their own hours of operation.

    Good food. Messed up my takeout. Best ice tea around. Very good salad but would have been better with the dressing they left out.

    I'm a vegetarian visiting my parents from out of state and was expecting the usual sub-par…read moreIndianapolis lunch and dinner options... but then we gave this place a try and wow!! A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had!

I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.

It does tend to be on the pricier side, so when…read morewe got the email for complimentary avocado recently it was perfect excuse to satisfy my cravings for it. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken bowl which has 49 grams of protein. I chose half quinoa and half kale as the base and added the Lemon Tarragon Vinaigrette on the side. It was SO good. I also really like the sweet potatoes. Service can be hit or miss. There wasn't a line this time so only one person was tending the toppings bar. The dining area is pretty and spacious-- lots of bright wooden furniture, plants and natural light. There is also patio seating outside.

I added…read morecarrots and pickled onions as well as one creamy sauce and miso-based vinaigrette (sorry, can't recall the specifics). The restaurant was really clean, bright and airy. The service was impeccable. The young lady who assisted me was extremely helpful in assisting me with my choices. I've been to one other Sweetgreen location in Downtown Indianapolis for a Yelp event, but that was quite some time ago. The employee, Aaliyah, provided me with her suggestions upon request and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at home. The salmon was tender and juicy and the sweet potatoes were well-seasoned and cooked to be the prefect consistency. The wild rice was cooked to perfection. The sauces took everything to another level. I like that they have the information for where they source their ingredients on display for the customer to see. The food is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

You can also sit outside under a cover by the water and watch the ducks or listen to the birds, it is peaceful. Food has been great. There are many choices with soups, salads, and sandwiches. Their chicken salad is amazing and I generally get the Mediterranean sandwich, without the olives (I know, just not my thing). The best part, meals come with this tiny butter croissant that it out of this world! So good!!! Desserts are a hit or miss. Some are really good and others just okay. The first couple of times I was here, everything was fairly smooth and service was great. The last time that I was there (a week ago), I did not have that same experience. There are different people working there, unsure if newer or not, but it was definitely not as inviting and my order was wrong, so it was not typed in correctly. I did not say anything, I am positive they would have made it right, but it was a no biggee. I also ordered a coffee and when I went to get it, it was still not made. My food came out but no coffee. I was told "I will make it for you now" and then it was brought out a little bit later. Unfortunately, I was finished eating at that point, but no biggee. My point with the above, is that the customer service is just not on par like it used to be, not sure what the changes are, but I love this cute spot, so will be coming back! PROS: Parking easy Outdoor seating Fireplace in main room CONS: Customer service not great at times
