    Smokehouse spud
    Teri M.

    Restaurant was immaculate, and staff were very nice and friendly. Service was quick. I had a "choose 2", which allowed me to try two different items. I love when restaurants give this option. I had the Southwest Chicken Avocado salad, and the Black Angus Roast Beef spud. The salad was fresh and delicious. The spud (which is a half spud) was huge! It was a full-size baked potato...if this is a half, I can't imagine what a full size looks like. It was hot and delicious. Lots of thin shaved beef and a generous portion of gooey melty cheese. Not enough onions in my opinion. My husband also had a Choose 2. He got the chicken club, and a limited edition spud called the Smokehouse spud. It had pulled pork, bacon, green onion, Mac and cheese, and BBQ sauce. It looked and tasted amazing. Again, huge portion! Highly recommend!

    Chicken Tortilla Soup w/ McAlister's Club (choose 2) and yes....they forgot the tortilla chips on this day.

    I came here with my Bible study group one time (had never been here before) and when I tried the McAlister's Club for the first time, I was hooked! And ever since, I come up here at least once a week (sometimes twice in a week!) for my usual "Choose 2" order which is the McAlister's Club and Chicken Tortilla soup or when I don't want soup I go for the Chipotle Chicken & Bacon spud. I've tried their Savannah Chopped Salad and it was delicious! I don't eat salad often, but when I do have a taste for one, that'll definitely be my go to again. The food here isn't the problem.....my food is always fresh and they keep the establishment clean. My problem is with their service. It's like every time I come here, it's hit or miss. And most times it's just the little things. I always order through the mobile app and then drive around to the pick up window. Most times I don't wait too long, but more times than not, there is a small wait.....and then when someone does come to the window, they always seem to be in a hurry. When I have a chicken tortilla soup in my order, it's a 50/50 chance that they forget to give me the tortilla chips that go with it. Fun fact: the very first time I ordered that soup, I didn't get any tortilla chips with it......I didn't know it was supposed to come with it until I ordered it again and this time they gave it to me. Also, I always get their half sweet tea and half sweet lemonade WITH a lemon wedge......there's about a 75% chance that I don't get that lemon wedge every time I order it AND last but not least, there's a 50/50 chance I don't get the pickle that's supposed to come with my sandwich. I guess I should make it a habit to check my food before I leave but how hard is it to just make sure you pack it right the first time? I remember a while ago, they came out with a new sandwich called the Chicken Ranch BLT....my husband and I were excited to try it so I ordered my husband the sandwich and I got mine as a spud w/ a club sandwich and drove up there to pick it up. This was on a Saturday morning around 11:30a or so......when I got up there to the pick up window, the lady tells me that they're out of chicken and that if I didn't want to substitute the chicken for turkey, I'd have to get something else (I was still able to get my club sandwich but I couldn't get my spud and my husband couldn't get the sandwich) Say what now??? How are you out of chicken and you've only been open an hour?? So I tell her that I didn't want turkey and that I'd just get something else, but in my head I'm thinking I prepaid a certain price for those items so whatever I get should be comparable to what I was charged. Then she says that there's enough chicken for the chicken BLT, but not the spud. So I just got the chicken tortilla soup and my husband got his sandwich....which was fine. As long as one of us got to try it. The lady did give me a free bag of chips for the trouble....I appreciate the effort...Lol. Obviously, these little short comings here and there haven't kept me from buying their food, but for the reasons I just explained, I had to take away one star.

    Mac n cheese
    C R.

    Club Sandwich was delicious Turkey melt was also good Side of Mac & cheese was 1/3 full & was all cheese sauce with a few noodles. It wasn't any good anyway $30 for 2 sandwiches with no drinks is a bit much for carry out lunch

    Is this Chipotle ranch? Hell no.

Our first visit started with a delay in service, but handled the situation with professionalism, empathy, and true leadership. She listened, apologized sincerely, and turned the moment into a coaching opportunity for her team. When we returned, the experience was completely different. The staff was attentive from the moment we walked in, and our server, Ajani M., was excellent -- quick, kind, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the meal. The food was a pleasant surprise. The spicy Calabrian shrimp dish, prepared without shrimp for our preference, was delicious, and the Fungo pizza was extraordinary alone with the good Mama Luca's Tiramisu. The passion fruit margarita was also excellent. The flavors felt light, fresh, and authentic -- more like being transported to Italy than eating at a typical heavy American-Italian restaurant. The restaurant was a little cold, and I personally prefer not to sit near the kitchen or restroom area, but overall, the food, service, and management response made this a place I would recommend. Special kudos to Isabella for turning an initial concern into a beautiful customer experience, and to . for providing excellent service. . ,

I ordered the turkey burger at True Food Kitchen and when I tell you I heard the angels SINGING?! Baby, that first bite made me stop chewing just so I could properly process what was happening. The FLAVORS?! Whew! They were flavoring! I did a little dance in my seat. A tear almost formed in my eye. I looked at that burger like, "Now why would you come into my life and show out like this?!" Let me be clear: I don't normally get this emotionally attached to a turkey burger. Turkey burgers are usually just meat and bread however THIS ONE?! This was an EXPERIENCE. A testimony. A blessing between two buns. Seasoned perfectly. Juicy. Flavorful. Absolutely DELICIOUS.

I most recently had their skinny margarita and Korean glass noodle bowl. While I totally appreciate the minimizing of oils, salt, soy sauce, etc. this dish tasted like nothing to me. Almost like I had long covid and a loss of taste. The skinny margarita also tasted off - like there was orange juice instead of traditional margarita mix. I did try the seasonal sourdough pita with eggplant dip and that was really good. But some of my favorites are longer on the menu for example, the harissa cauliflower and chicken pizza. Service and ambiance are great. I'll definitely be back in the future but it has fallen off the pedestal a bit for me.

The restaurant was half empty, with plenty of open seating both inside and outside, and there appeared to be 3-4 servers standing around with very little to do. Despite that, they refused to seat our party of six. I'm sure one of those servers would have appreciated our business and the gratuity that came with it. Unfortunately, it felt like the manager was more interested in proving a point than taking care of customers. Definitely not the kind of service I expected.
