    Outstanding. Want a delicious treat at a reasonable price in a beautiful setting? Then you simply need to visit McAllister's. It's been a favorite for a very long time. We just visited their new location down from their old location. It's twice the size and just as amazing as it ever was. I write a lot of reviews. Good and bad. Yeah I'm so pleased to report. This restaurant just keeps getting better. So many different deli sandwiches available. I truly do love them all. Who doesn't love potato salad? Or tortilla soup? fresh bread? And endless possibilities. My wife took me for Father's Day. Something simple while we were out. The service is quick. The food is delicious and fresh. Every time I go, I try something different and I am never disappointed. Find them. Frequent them. And enjoy.

    I had good service with my food being made within minutes of ordering. This is an amazing place to hold a lunch in with friends and to get together, many tables throughout the restaurant. Had a great atmosphere, being very calm and orderly. Only complaint was that I wish my grilled cheese could have been cooked more ... the cheese wasn't very melted.

    Fresh jalapeño crunch. The bead was soft and not too spicy. Very yummy and not too expensive.

    Standing in line is not my thing, ESPECIALLY for dining! Portions are tiny and prices are unbelievable for what you get.

    There are NO deli's that I aware of in Grand Rapids. Once upon a time there was at least one that…read morewas pretty good. Long gone. If you want corned beef or pastrami, greasy grocery store deli meat just doesn't cut it. Checking Yelp delis. I looked in every direction and decided to drive to East Lansing as my corned beef withdrawal pains were getting worse. Stateside Deli sits in a shopping plaza a few miles southeast from MSU. When we arrived both booths and tables were available just after the lunch rush. Just guessing, i'd say there are between 25-30 tables and booths. Even though I didn't need to, I studied the menu knowing that I would probably only get corned beef or pastrami. The soups however looked great as well. I ordered my corned beef extra lean partially as a test and mostly because that is how I like it. Served on toasted rye, that' is exactly how it came. My first bites were euphoric. It only got better. My wife ordered half a sandwich (tuna melt on wheat) along with matzah ball soup. She loved hers as well. I can tell because both the bowl and plate were empty when she was done. She will often not finish if the food is "just OK" Service was excellent and "seamless". One server saw my drink almost empty and quickly returned with another. Another server asked if we needed anything as she was walking by. Our server also kept checking with us to see if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our lunch. If this is the closest deli, so be it. We will be back as often as practical. Only drawback is the hour drive each way and approximately $28 worth of gas.

    Man oh man! What a hidden gem. Great deli, The food is…read moreamazing. The service awesome, Loved it.

It's very welcoming it's just a little worn, but clean. Warning: This place orders like Culvers. Order at the counter and they'll give you a number and bring the food out to you. Everything is ordered individually, so if you want fries wirh your burger, you need to order fries. I ordered the Kolossal Regular Burger ($10). This has mustard, ketchup, plckle & onion on their largest burger patty. The burger was excellent. The meat is of excellent quality and has a very fresh and clean taste. The onions and pickles were very fresh and tasty. The bun was a little weak, but tasted good. This burger currently slips into my Michigan burger ranking at #9. I order the chili cheese fries ($7) with my burger. The fries were good crinkle cut fries, however the chili was very meh. Lastly I ordered a large Chocolate Shake ($6). This shake was fantastic! Easily one of the top 5 shakes I've gotten. The service was excellent! Everyone was super friendly and happy. I always prefer visiting places where people like their job. Overall an easy 5 star review! Would I return? Absolutely!

First it's only open till 4pm, also closed on the weekends, and lastly you order at the counter they give you a number to take to your table. The Olive burger was amazing, the fries were crispy.
