    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!!

    The fact that this is $10 is insane

    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.

    I saw another yelper post this delicious looking smoothie so I had to check them out…read more The smoothie is 3 colors and layers. It's really appealing to the eye. The presentation is so cute and colorful. It's looks AMAZING. The flavors are mango, avocado and strawberry. I added collagen which gave it a creamy texture. The mango and avocado flavors were my favorites. The mango layer had tiny bits of mango. The strawberry layer was ok. It needed more strawberry flavor. The collagen powder why not it's good for the skin! It's an extra cost though. The space is decorated simple, but modern and chic, The ambiance is cute and cozy. They even sell merchandise for their brand. Service was good no complaints. The staff seemed helpful and friendly. Overall good service and experience. I enjoyed the smoothie. It was cool, fun and mostly tasty. These smoothies might be a bit pricey for some, but for 3 flavors and adding collagen it was worth trying. The only thing I disliked was the big fat straws. I just like regular straws so much better. They also have a rewards club which is nice.

All the meats, including the chicken items because a lot of time those are over cooked. The lamb tikka, and sheeh tawook were my favorites, but I did enjoy them all. The desserts were a miss for us over all. The ice cream was on the icy side and not as creamy, kunafa was ok but I've had better. The baklava was like any baklava you can get, so not bad. It is slightly pricey but worth it in my opinion. Nice place that can accommodate larger parties, but also has some booths for intimate date night. The meat is also halal so a great option for anyone that needs that.
