    Great food, great service! They were training a young lady at the order counter. She did well. Our order was perfect. The food was delicious. Our party of three ordered black Angus Club, turkey ranch BLT, and chicken salad ion a croissant with pickles, two sides of BBQ Miss Vickie's chips and a side of broccoli cheddar soup. The soup had good chunks of broccoli in it. The vegetables on the sandwiches was fresh and delicious the meats and cheeses were tasty. We were traveling from Galax to Midlothian and wanted a decent dinner in a casual atmosphere for a quick stop and McDonald's Alister's was a perfect stop. We were not off the road very long.

    Quick dinner while in town for a track meet at Liberty University. The southwest chicken and avocado salad was pretty tasty! And be warned: it's huge! Ask for an extra dressing.

    I visited this McAlister's craving their black angus king club sandwich which uselly is really good. I always order extra horseradish sauce on the side as it makes the whole sandwich experience better....after ordering my sandwich , cup of soup and beverage. I had a seat and when the food arrived I noticed there was no sauce on the side I went to the counter to request a cup of it and was told they were out...I then asked soooo there's none on my sandwich? They had just put mayo on it and sent it out. I attempted to eat the sandwich of disappointment but it just sucked ass without it and I ended up leaving 90% of it the cup of soup was just ok. My biggest gripe is this when I ask for extra sauce on the side and you are out of it totally please communicate that to the people taking orders if I had known I would have ordered something else instead of spending 25.00$ on a shitty sandwich.

    McAllister's deli is a great place for lunch. It's One of my favorite places to go for lunch. They have a wide selection of things to eat sandwiches, soups, soup in a bread bowl, salads and baked potatoes all which I can tell you are amazing. They also have a pretty good chili as well. So far I've had a little bit of everything there and I've never been disappointed when I leave. The baked potatoes are absolutely huge if you get a whole one so be hungry. The soup in a bread bowl is my favorite and usually I get French onion or chicken noodle. Both are great. The sandwiches there are great as well which I've had a variety of those an they don't skimp on how much they give you which makes the price well worth the food. It's always very clean and customer service is great. If you haven't been to McAllister's I suggest trying it you won't be disappointed.

    First time here and I'll be back! My hubby's King Club was HUGE but he finished it. My Au Jus sandwich (just a half) was very tasty and the perfect for me. Staff was very friendly, and the place was very welcoming.

    Vs what I ordered.

    Ordered a pick 2, wrap and soup. What I ordered vs what I got. No bigger than a 7/11 taquito ‍ Do better, McAlister's.

    Good for lunch. A diversified menu. They have eliminated some dishes since I started going there over 8 years ago. Some I really liked.

    Their sweet & smoky chicken sandwich, made with grilled chicken and barbecue sauce on a ciabatta roll, is very good!

    I had the roasted chicken salad. They must store the chicken in water. I have never had watery chicken before. It was beyond unappetizing.

    Great setting with a variety of seating (high tops, low tops & picnic tables) outside. Dogs are…read moreclearly welcome. And ours appreciated the pets from our server. It's next to a small playground and new amphitheater, so I'm sure this place gets quite busy on weekends. We all enjoyed our lunches; just unfortunate that it took well over a half hour to receive them. Since we were traveling home to OH, we weren't too keen for a laid back lunch.

    So there were a few good things and a few things that to be improved…read more Pros - It's in a great location. Terrific ambiance. We got seated much more quickly than we thought. One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.
