    French Dip and Chicken Dumpling soup
    Richard Walton C.

    My sister and I stopped in for a mid afternoon late lunch. The restaurant was practically empty so service was super fast. No waiting to place our orders. The dining room was very clean and all tables were freshly cleaned. The dining room was cold, so cold I had to retrieve our morning jackets from the car. I ordered the Choose 2 option and chose the Classic Grilled Chicken on a Croissant sandwich with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. She ordered the same option of choosing 2 and went with the French Dip Sandwich and the Chicken Dumpling soup. We both enjoyed our meals. I thought my chicken sandwich had too much honey mustard. She really liked her dumpling soup. McAlister's serves really large soft drinks. I need two hands to manage one.

    Pure laziness.

    I will never eat food from here again. This place is beyond gross and a huge disappointment. Something is very wrong with this restaurant. First of all, after my last negative review, as you can see, someone from Mcalister's acted concerned about my experience. They then messaged me and asked for my contact information for the store manager to contact me. No one ever did. That tells me this location does not care about nor take any pride in their establishment. Because it was so filthy, I decided I would not be returning. Last night, my husband calls and asks if I'd like him to pick up dinner. I said I wanted a salad from Mcalister's and figured he would go to the one that was near him at the time he called. Instead, he ended up going to this nasty location. As soon as I pulled my salad out of the bag, my heart sank. It looked a crazy mess and I could see large hunks of onion, not even chopped. The bowl also had quite a bit of empty space, which is not normal. It's usually so full with salad that you have to carefully mix in your dressing. I was able to dump my dressing in, replace the lid and shake it around. Usually the cup of dressing they give is the perfect amount. But because the salad was so scarce, it ended up being to much dressing. As I began eating, I realized that much of the lettuce was not good and a lot of the veggies looked old and gross. The lettuce even tasted bad, old and funky. I ended up getting sick shortly after eating what little bit of the salad I did. Do NOT eat here. I've instructed my husband to never get my salads from this location, ever again. It's filthy and they obviously have no quality standards in the least. The board of health needs to investigate.

    Hadn't been in a while, but really wanted one of their spuds! We stopped in last night around 8pm, not too busy, but a small crowd still inside. I took some spud suggestions from a man named Chris who was not only helpful, but friendly! I believe I got the spud max.....? The meat on the potato wasn't overwhelming and I liked that! Shown in the photo- I ordered the pick/choose two. Chicken tortilla is my go to! Restaurant was clean and employees are constantly making their rounds to remove plates and refill drinks. I noticed they offer same day catering service as well! Last and most important (obviously) are their cookies! They are huge and come in a few different flavors. Always fresh!

    I've always gone to this location but recently they seem to be doing our orders wrong. I ordered a king club sadly my sandwich didn't have everything on it it's like they rushed through making it. I also ordered a BLT sandwich and requested to add cucumber and sadly they didn't add it. I've had a long day decided not to cook and pick something up really disappointed and sad I didn't get exactly what I ordered. As a college student I don't have that kind of money to spend on gas to go back and forth.

    Got back in town and wanted something light!! Hadn't seen my daughter in a week because i was out of town and this was what she wanted!! We sat in and ate! Our cashier that took our orders i didnt get her name but she was nice and attentive. Our food came out quick! And of course we ended our visit with a good ol' soft chocolate chip Thanks for the awesome customer service!!

    Easy takeout experience with online ordering and easy pickup. Food was warm when we got it home and packaged securely. However, the pickle spears added were not included in the order. Everything looked and tasted good!

    Pretty great for a Friday lunch on the run. Much nicer than fast food or Panera, without breaking the wallet.

    A friend wanted to join me to join her for dinner and suggested McAlister's Deli. I really didn't want to eat there, but I'm so glad I did! When we arrived the line was super long, but it moved pretty quickly. I order the half and half deal, but with my extras my total was around $13.00. I ordered the Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Bread Bowl with a Chef Salad. It was the perfect combination for cold weather. The soup was good, but I really didn't like the actual bread. Next time, I would get the soup without the bread bowl. The salad was small but filling. All the topping were fresh and the ranch dressing was pretty tasty. The staff was really nice and accommodating. My friends sandwich was not made properly, but they quickly made another sandwich for her and apologized for the mix up. I really like this location and will come back to try more from their menu! Happy Eating!

    I absolutely love this restaurant the customer service is great the food is great a lot of the time the line Is extremely long but today for some reason there were 3 cashiers which was perfect. They have a lot of items on the menu for all types of people I love fatty foods that's why I get the nachos (lol) they also have items for people who are on the Keto diet and people who just enjoy eating healthy, they have a section for outdoor setting which is nice for those nice sunny days and nights all in all it's a great place to dine.

    The tea that got me addicted to sweet tea. Staff is very nice about keeping it refilled too!

The black bean burger is delicious, and you can customize the toppings and cheese on any burger or chicken sandwich. Sides include edamame, tater tots, fries, fruit, and a side salad. The sauces, like the salad dressing, are made fresh in house. Sauces include country gravy, buffalo, sweet heat, ranch, and honey mustard. I always order a sauce or two for dipping g my tater tots or fries. The salads are much better than the usual fast food or fast casual restaurant. Always fresh ingredients and the dressing is made daily, in house. Several varieties of salad and they are all excellent. Shakes are excellent! Very thick so you will need the extra large straw. The employees are very friendly and service is fast. The dining room is always clean and the booths are solid and comfortable.

Chicken, with wings, drums, and tenders offered in several heat levels. I went with the Curry tenders (medium), and my husband chose the Hot Honey wings (also medium). Both delivered exactly the right amount of heat--noticeable but not overwhelming. The crunch factor was definitely there, and the chicken itself was moist and flavorful. Sides are ordered separately, so we added onion rings. They were large and looked great, though they were just okay for me. Portions, however, were huge. Our total was around $32, which felt a bit pricey, but the amount of food made up for it. Honestly, we could have shared one entrée if we ever agreed on the same thing. They do serve beer, milk teas, and smoothies too, but we took our order home and enjoyed our own drinks. The atmosphere inside is casual with a giant screen playing K‑Pop videos, which adds a fun vibe if you dine in. Overall, I liked it and would return--next time with fewer items or more people to help tackle those portions.

Every meal seems a little lacking and leaves you wanting a little bit more but the atmosphere and staff are nice which helps to balance the disappointment. We ordered the bruschetta as our appetizer, it was enjoyable but more olive forward than we were expecting. I ordered the arugula salad which did say it had spinach in it. However, it was a mainly spinach salad. I opted to add chicken to it and ask our waitress if the chicken was seasoned and worth the ad and she assured me that it was. Unfortunately it was not seasoned and it was very bland reminding me of the pre-packaged chicken pockets you can buy at Costco. Had I known I wouldn't have added it as it did not add anything to the salad. My friend really wanted the brussel sprout salad and apparently they did not have brussel sprouts so it was only romaine salad so she opted for a pasta dish instead. We appreciated our waitress giving us the heads up and confirming that she still wanted the salad with the changes that would be made to it. We ended the evening by sharing a tiramisu for her birthday along with an espresso martini. The dessert options were nice, but the espresso martini wasn't traditional; it was more Baileys-forward than expected. Overall, it's a decent restaurant for a casual meal but it hasn't offered anything that would make us eager to return or crave another visit.

The tenderloin was clearly a greasy one from the moment I laid eyes on it. I cut it in half to make a double-decker out of it, and half of the breading came off. When I picked up that half to stack it on the sandwich, the rest came off. I put it back together the best I could and gave it a try. The tenderloin was both greasy and tough- it was like biting into a pork chop. There was nothing "tender" about it. Fries were ok, with lot of seasoning salt on them. The Mac and cheese was both hot and cold at the same time- it definitely came from the microwave. The waitress was nice and attentive. $23 total.
