    This was my first time at this location and I wasn't a fan. I ordered for pick up. My sandwich was ok, not alot to it, my salad was missing the dressing (HOW, I don't know) & the cheese cake was the best thing to me.

    This is a casual place, with very efficient service. My salad was crisp, and in has a generous portion of protein. But the start of the meal was the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake... 10/10.

    Digital menu out of date.

    While waiting to order I notice the digital display screen scrolling through specials. The chicken flatbread caught my eye. Time to order and that's I said I wanted. "Oh that's seasonal we no longer offer it". It is on a digital display board...the whole point is you can change it easy. We were assured they could not change it locally. That's a pretty bush league mistake. My companion ordered club sandwich "and I want like a pickle too" stated clear as a bell. Food delivered and no pickle. "I didn't get a pickle" to which same person that took the order 5 minutes ago said "oh you have to ask for that". Then she remembered and brought a pickle. Does that mean if you don't specifically ask when you order, too late? No pickle for you? Downhill.

    Chef Salad

    Ordered half beef and cheddar sandwich and chef sandwich. Salad was good. Sandwich was terrible. Bread was not fresh and there was very little meat and cheese. McAlister's did reach out and we gave them another chance. This time was much better. Baked potato was great and so was the Chef salad.

    It's my first time trying this location. Unfortunately, my debit card was declining although I just deposited money on it. Caroline was nice enough to let me order my food, eat it, and pay afterwards once I spoke to my bank. That was such a kind gesture and I wasn't expecting that type of generosity. That gives me more incentive to return because they actually care about customer service!

    The food was delicious while not being too expensive. They have a variety of options to chose from so you can't go wrong with coming here. The service was impeccable! They even gave us free dessert and were very attentive and kind throughout the whole time dining in. Highly recommend stopping by if by the area!

    This was my first visit to this location, hopefully I'll be able to give it 5 stars in the future. Almost everything from this location was perfect! I pulled up after placing my order online, I didn't even have to call and they brought my order out, so that was perfect! Everything in the order was correct! We weren't missing any items and everything was made correctly. That's even better! I ordered a couple of new lemonades. And they were really good! My 2 issues come from the bread on both of my sandwiches. It was really stale and I've never had this issue before. Overall, it was fine, but stale bread is never good. The second issue was with my apple sauce. Online the portion was bigger, but this is just apple sauce you can buy at the store. Kinda disappointing. Overall, the experience was a good one. Service was on point, food was correct, just a couple of things I wish were better. I'll give them another chance!

    Carrot cake was awesome!

    I made an order online for pick up at lunch. I ordered the choose two; Savannah Salad and the Pepper Jack Turkey sandwich. My food was ready on time and there was not a long wait to pick up my food. The Savannah Salad is my absolute favorite salad at McAllister's. The vinaigrette dressing is also amazing on this salad. You can't go wrong with this choice. The Pepper Jack Turkey is also another one of my favorite sandwiches. I literally ate it in less than 5 minutes. It only has mustard which is great because I don't really care for mayo. I enjoyed a large piece of carrot cake for my dessert. I usually get the million dollar brownie which is also a great dessert option. I love carrot cake and this one was moist and delish. Will definitely pick it again in the future.

    Sweet Chipotle Chicken. More gravy than mashed potatoes.

    I LOVE McAlister's Deli. My girlfriend and I were craving a good light meal & sweet tea but were shocked to find out my local/frequented McAlister's in Arlington, TX is currently under renovations for the week. No need to panic, pull up the map and go-on to the another location in Irving, it should be the same experience, right? Unfortunately, it was not. Although we did anticipate the usual Sunday after church crowd, this location was not prepared at all to handle the capacity. It was very unorganized. The BAD: 1. We walked in to a large line, although expected, it took us about 20-25 minutes from the doorway to the cashier. I tried to analyze what was taking forever, as I have never waited this long in a McAlister line before (even during peak hours). I found out later it seemed like the cashiers were also food runners and bus-boys at the same time. Also, cashiers were not audible to call for the next person in-line. 2. While waiting in-line, I noticed there were plenty of tables with dirty plates and cups. It looks like they have been sitting there for a while. Finally after 20 minutes or so, I saw one-sole employee cleaning 1 table. I later find out this same employee was the person bringing out our food! I hope they washed their hands. This could explain why ALOT of tables were not bussed. 3. There was not a constant food-runner/tea re-filler circulating at all-times. If a customer wants a re-fill on tea, they would have to interrupt the cashier taking care of new customer orders---thus holding up the line. 4. My go-to Sweet Chipotle Chicken w/mashed potatoes with gravy was not on point. The sandwich was lukewarm; the bread was more soggy than toasty. I barely got any mashed potatoes, might as well have called it gravy w/mashed potatoes. Why did I not complain? Easy, I did not want to wait in that line again. The OK: 5. My girlfriend did enjoy her Chef Salad. We did notice the plate might have been cleaned more thoroughly as there was a dry-cheese morsel one corner. A little bit of elbow grease could have taken that right off. The GOOD: 6. The Sweet Tea - tasted like everywhere else. Overall, I believe the employees did what they can do. It looks like Management needs to work to get more organized, more staffing for peak hours, and more training for employees at the register.

Line moved a bit slow because of that but each person had a big smile on their face despite the pressure on churning out orders which was appreciated. If you've never had poke, it's mainly raw fish marinated and chopped up served over a bed of rice and other things. You can customize it like Chipotle. Despite the Maui reference, this is not traditional Hawaiian poke so as long as you're ok with that, this place is great! I got the #8 Combo Poke which was great. Seafood was very fresh and the sauce was delicious. I also got a matcha boba - pretty well priced and good, boba was chewy and the matcha was a good flavor. Nothing super fancy but priced right for the quality!

We ate pretty early around 5pm, and it was very empty, which was nice because it meant our food came fast. We tried the chicken shawarma bowl and the beef shawarma bowls. The food tasted delicious, but did seem a little less fresh, like maybe it had been sitting for a while, which would make sense because it wasn't exactly prime dinner hour yet, so maybe perhaps left from lunch? Either way, the portions were great, enough to take home leftovers. And the flavor of the meat was superb. They were so warm and kind to our family, especially our two year old. I appreciated the thoughtful touches the staff added to make our dining experience special. It definitely gave the cozy feeling of a mom and pop diner but mediterranean style! I loved it. We will definitely be coming back.

This is a very generous portion and my boyfriend and I were unable to finish it between the two of us- would be great to share with 4 people, in my opinion! I also got the Brussel sprouts, which I did finish. They are cooked to perfection and have an incredible garlic sauce. They used to have grapes mixed in, which I LOVED!

The fried green tomatoes were very lightly battered and perfectly fried. Delicious! My wife liked the tartar sauce, but I was disappointed. You don't find pickle chunks in remoulade sauce. For our entrées, she had the Reuben and fries, and I had the fried chicken strips and waffle (also came with fried eggs). Both were really good; huge portions we could not finish.
