    Tiny serving of chicken salad
    Kristi E.

    I ordered a half chicken salad sandwich and cup of veggie soup to-go. I received maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken salad in my half croissant. It's pitiful and mediocre at best in flavor. The veggie soup was good but the chicken salad sandwich was a joke. Very disappointed how little actual chicken salad I received for the price.

    Sweet tea!

    I've been coming here to this location for about four years. It's amazing. Kim, Kelsey, Tony, Madison. That's the fantastic four. Those are the managers here at this location. And if they can put up with me, they can put up with anybody, I love this place and I will continue coming to get sandwiches and soups and salads and of course sweet tea for many years to come.

    Had a wonderful lunch today. Charles was so professional and made sure we were satisfied. He made our visit memorable and will definitely return soon. The Turkey sandwich's were delicious and the broccoli cheddar soup was the best . The dining room is huge with high ceiling and windows that let light shine. Seating is comfortable and the short partition between booths added to privacy. Menu options can satisfy most appetites. If you need a fresh sandwich look no further than McAlister's

    This is the size of the 6-in, yes it is literally 6 in but it's also $16 with extra meat which is ridiculous.

    Update: I'm adding a star because of the quick and courteous response I received from McAliaster's. I appreciate when businesses take interest in their customers, I thank you for reaching out! Not happy with my last visit with McAlister's. I distinctly remember this French dip being larger than it is, and it's exponentially more expensive than it was, I realize many things are, but $16 for a 6 inch French dip with extra meat (not double, just extra) is ridiculous.

    Savannah Chopped Salad
    Charlie R.

    Wonderful experience at McAlister's! We stopped in for lunch and the service was quick & friendly. I enjoyed the Savannah Chopped Salad which was delicious and appreciated the dressing came on the side. Great variety of menu options and will be back again soon.

    Spicy Southwest Chicken
    Ashley W.

    I got the southwest chicken sandwich on jalapeño bread ($8). This sandwich exceeded my expectations!! The chicken was not dry and it was flavorful. I really liked the corn and bean salsa they added. That is a unique part of this sandwich that you can't add on/customize on others! It had a nice, refreshing taste (especially because of the cucumbers). McAlister's sandwiches are better than subway!!

    I called to let them know that I was there to pick up a curbside order. I waited for 20 minutes, Then went inside to get it.
    Chris W.

    Just so you know they do not have curbside pick up. Even though their website claims they have it and they have signs out front they tell you where to park for curbside pick up. I placed an Internet order at 4:45 to be picked up at 6:15. I got there at 6:11. I placed a phone call to tell them I was there for my curbside order. She said it wasn't ready and it would come out when it was. I waited for 20 minutes, then went inside and it was sitting there ready to go. They were never going to bring it out to me. If they didn't have curbside they should have let me know when I called in to let them know I was there. I did not get an apology or any kind of explanation.

    The fact that this is $10 is insane

The inside is still as clean and organized as it's always been. It's inviting to read, work, or meet a friend. The staff is always friendly and so patient as I usually second-guess what I want when I'm standing at the register - it all looks so good! I am elated Breakfast is now ALL DAY!! The Brekkie Wrap is my go-to, as is the Daily Detox juice. Usually I place a mobile order and they are always on it. The order has always been right and ready on-time too. The have parking available for pick-up so it's a quick in and out too. I really enjoy ChopShop. Here are a few of my reccos +Fresh Juice: Daily Detox and Cold Buster +Breakfast: Brekkie or Cheat Day Wrap +Bowls: Hot Honey Chicken Hummus is my favorite, but Red Chili Lime Shrimp is good too. +Salads: Citrus Thai with shrimp is the best! Danish and Beet with chicken are awesome too. + Sandwiches: Moroccan Turkey is the only one I've tried +Cookies: They are all delicious - even the gluten free ones!

    Union Bear has quickly become one of my favorite spots in downtown McKinney. The fact that they…read morebrew their own beer right there on site is a big part of the draw for me. I am not usually a dark beer guy but the server talked me into their schwarzbier and I ended up ordering a second one. If you are into porters and stouts they have you covered, and if you lean lighter there is plenty on the board too. The food held its own right alongside the beer. I went with the burger and it hit exactly the way a good pub burger should, juicy with a solid char and fries that actually get finished. My wife ordered the pappardelle on a recommendation from the table next to us and she was not sharing much of it, which tells you everything. We started with the chips and queso and cleared the bowl before the entrees even landed. Great vibe inside, big patio, and the service kept our drinks full the whole time. This one is an easy recommend.

    Great experience at Union Bear Brewing Co…read more Customer service was on point. Our waitress checked on us just enough without smothering us. I'm not a fan of constant interruptions while eating, so that balance was appreciated. The place itself is awesome. Plenty of TVs, a great layout, outdoor patio, and a great bar area. Perfect hangout spot whether you're with family, friends, or just grabbing lunch solo. Prices are reasonable and competitive with similar spots. The downtown McKinney location is ideal and easy walking distance to other shops and restaurants, so no need to keep driving around. Food was great. The burger was juicy and flavorful even well done. The salmon was also well done with crispy edges and a slab of butter that melted right over it great flavor. Hoping that butter option is available for the steak because that's next on my list. Sides were solid too. Only thing I wasn't big on was the fries. They're super thin, so they were crispy but had a slightly hard, borderline stale texture. Just my opinion though. overall still a great experience. Definitely coming back. Burger and salmon were outstanding, customer service was great, and the atmosphere makes it a spot worth checking out with family or friends.

    The Nutty Creation Is the One to Order…read more Elke's Market Cafe is a cozy, approachable spot that does simple things well. The standout for me is Elke's Nutty Creation, and now that I know what's in it, it makes complete sense why it's so good. The combination of pecan cheddar spread, bacon, candied jalapeños, and peach preserves on toasted molasses wheat bread hits that perfect sweet-savory balance. It's rich without being heavy, a little sweet, a little salty, and just enough heat to keep it interesting. One of those sandwiches that sounds unusual, but works surprisingly well. The café itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel, and service is friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch when you want something comforting, but a little different. If you're unsure what to order, the Nutty Creation is absolutely worth trying.

    Updated review: 2/23/26…read more FOOD: The food here is always consistently good & has been over the years. The ownership changed hands after the pandemic, but the quality of the food has remained unchanged. It is a great place to go for just about anything. I especially love the soups and sandwiches. The only deduction in a star is I wish they had the chicken & wild rice consistently more available on the market side and a few more dessert offerings in the restaurant. All they have is lemon bars, cookies, banana pudding. I would like to see a daily pie special. ATMOSPHERE: This is a solid place, clean, good for kids, families, ok for a first date and coffee--definitely not romantic. It is always clean and neat. SERVICE: You order at the register and they bring it out to you, but it is pretty low-key. All team members are great. TIP: Pick up a freezer meal when you leave. Their casseroles and dips are great for emergencies or a night off.
