    Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap with potato salad
    Jennifer F.

    Nice late lunch yesterday at this McAlisters Deli. Short line even at 1:45p but it went quickly. Very pleasant lady took my order. Was very professional and informative. I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar wrap and potato salad. You serve your own iced tea and beverages now. I like this! My meal arrived with a smile. Presented well and delicious from the first bite. This place never disappoints. Restaurant is kept clean!

    Bacon spud potato

    Great spot for salads and spuds! My favorite pick 2 is the savannah chopped salad with balsamic and the bacon spud with cheese and sour cream. Both the salad and spud are a good size, making it a good choice for lunch or dinner. If you love sweet tea McAlister's is known for theirs. They also make the best chocolate chip cookies in town - high is calories and worth it. Check out their menu for more salads, spuds and sandwiches. Great spot for families and kids eat free offers. Like pickles? They'll load you up with free pickles on the side, just ask.

    Strawberry lemonade and sugar cookie
    Jennifer R.

    I had some time to kill and noticed this McAlidter's. Thought I'd go in for a snack. Got a cookie and a strawberry lemonade, the lemonade was sweet and refreshing for a hot day. The drink size is HUGE! The sugar cookie was ok, nothing to write home about but it got the job done. Staff was nice and restaurant was clean. They had tables outside so I was able to sit out in the sun and enjoy my treats. Spent a total of $5.30, not bad considering the size of the drink.

    Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Mashed Potatoes

    McAlister's is a go to sandwich place for me, I only get the Smoky Pepper Jack Turkey and yes I would 10/10 recommended everyone! I even tried to go home and make it myself and it was just not the same. This time around I got soup instead and I would say if it was a hot or a miss it was a miss. A little salty and not enough broccoli chunks for my liking but still appetizing. This location was very clean and friendly. I love coming to a McAlister's and being checked on when I'm eating and when you're finished they take your food up for you. Perfect. Amazing service as always and great sweet tea!

    Food was great but played/constructed in a hurry when there appeared to be no reason to rush (I got here before the lunch rush it seemed).

    Let me start out by saying "Service/Packaging" of food could be just a important as quality, taste and price of the items your selling: in this case it's food. Overall: meal was great, service was friendly and within a few minutes I had my meal. The good: food was excellent to taste, the same as if I went to any number of other chains, as should be expected. I had the chicken chipotle melt and the fire roasted vegetables. Both tasted great~ no soft drink, I asked for a water and also received a pickle slice. Both to be as expected. I was also asked the same " can I get you anything else" line as they provided my food to me. Also nice to know they give the same curtesy was present to me as other diners ( I listen to my surroundings~). The bad: nothing was bad actually! The ugly: I added this line (from "The Movie") because of plating of food/preparation. The cup of soup was spilled on the plate, either when placing it in the cup bk in the kitchen or in transit to my table. The food construction of the melt also was miss matched. I say that because when I bite into it, chicken was on one side and cheese/sauce to another. Even distribution (or as close as you can get it) is key for any sandwich. If not, it can throw the whole meal experience off even if it is "great food". Presentation is very important, be you a chain store or five star restaurant because it paints a picture of your staff, your product placement and how you carry your business. Yes...this all came from food, but you would present this in a commercial for your business, now would you? I think not. Bottom line: great experience and I recommend management coach on those two items if they read these things. Otherwise, I am only making folks aware and what is to be expected. Take what you will from this review.

    Cobb salat wuh like oooh lawt!!!
    Jason M.

    Out of towner eating here for the first time. Nice interior. A little nicer than your typical fast food chain type of place and thankfully cleaner. Quick and friendly service. I had a Cobb salad and it was so good when I was done I threw the bowl across the joint and then jumped on the tables screaming. Well, maybe not, but I was close. Excellent salad, huge portion. At our table we also had a sandwich/soup combo that were equally well prepared and tasty. Will make a return trip for sure.

    $7.99 Turkey sandwich, barely 6" long.

It's really easy to shrug off a deli/sandwich shop by saying, "It's just sandwiches, nothing special about that" like some reviews I've seen. I think those reviews miss the entire point of the neighborhood deli. I've been two days in a row this week. Once for myself, then again for my family after they heard me rave about the sandwiches and people here. Farrah (sp?) greeted me both days with a, "Hi honey! Be right with you!". You don't get a greeting like that very much anymore, and that same care and effort she put into greeting her customers is evident in the construction of the sandwiches too! I mean when was the last time a business - even local - asked your name before you left, unless it was to put on your coffee cup? We've had the club, the Brooklyn, and the veggie caprese and all of them are phenomenal. I don't think you could make a bad choice at The Block - you're gonna be happy and satisfied. Maybe it is "just a sandwich", and maybe I'm overhyping it because of the way the love they have for the customers and product comes through the entire experience....but even if I am, isn't that the entire point of your neighborhood deli?

The tarragon mayo gives it something different, but personally, I wasn't the biggest fan. Give me regular mayo and some crispy bacon and this would've really hit. Customer service was 10/10, though.

I had a half ruben sandwich and a bowl of white chili. Both were excellent. A huge half sandwich and a large hearty bowl of white chili. The chili was flavorful but not spicy. It had lots of shredded chicken, beans and corn (which could have been left out in my opinion). My friend had the chicken salad sandwich and the white chili and said her sandwich was good, also a very large. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, parking on the side and in the back of the building.

We couldn't decide what to order, so we ended up trying a little bit of everything. The tabbouleh, hummus, falafel, and spinach pie were all fantastic. Every single side was fresh and packed with flavor. The sauces deserve their own shoutout. I would happily take home a gallon of the garlic sauce, and the tzatziki was just as addictive. My husband ordered the Mediterranean salad, and my daughter and I shared the kids' shawarma plate. The salad was massive with a beautiful variety of fresh vegetables. The beef shawarma was incredibly tender, and the basmati rice was perfectly cooked. One thing that really stood out to me was the hospitality. While we were there, a family came in just before closing and asked if they could still be served. Without hesitation, the staff welcomed them in and accommodated them with such kindness. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. You can tell there's real care behind every ingredient and every interaction. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and homemade. It left us feeling satisfied without feeling heavy, which isn't always easy to find when eating out. Safier is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back.

The prices are moderate and felt very reasonable for the atmosphere, portions, and overall experience. I ordered the biscuit and gravy with a side of bacon, and let me just say... these were NOT your average biscuits! I got two huge, fluffy biscuits with little cubes of sausage tucked in between them and everything was covered in pepper gravy. The biscuits were soft and delicious, the sausage added just the right amount of flavor, and the pepper gravy pulled it all together. So good! My husband decided to go big and ordered the breakfast plate with all the fixings PLUS a waffle. Naturally, I had to sample the waffle, and I'm pretty sure I made my decision for my next visit right then and there. That waffle was delicious! It had a subtle vanilla flavor that paired incredibly well with the maple syrup. That vanilla + maple combination was honestly my favorite bite of the meal. The portions are generous, the food is flavorful, and there's enough variety on the menu that everyone should be able to find something they'll enjoy. Between my biscuits and gravy and my husband's breakfast feast, we definitely left happy and full.
