    I visit McAlister's Deli often with my family, and I'm always amazed by the exceptional service from the staff. Diana greets us with her warm and friendly smile at the register each time we come. She goes above and beyond by recommending seasonal sandwiches and accommodating our dietary restrictions. Today we dined in and Diana even handed us a handwritten card!! The food here is consistently fresh and full of flavor. I've tried salads, wraps, and sandwiches, and they've all been fantastic. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.

    I had a taste for a sub and wanted something different. So I looked on Yelp and found McAlister's. It had good ratings and lots of options. I wanted turkey and chose the spicy turkey melt. It had some good veggies added to the sandwich. Roasted turkey, bacon, pepper jack, avocado, chipotle ranch, spring mix and tomato on toasted baguette. The spring mix was a surprise. I thought it would just be some romaine and iceberg lettuce. But it was a nice handful of a spring mix. It wasn't spicy with the pepper jack or chipotle ranch. The sandwich was delicious abd for a 6" it was filling. I liked the toasted baguette. And since I was eating it in the car, it wasn't as messy as I thought it would be. I will be back to try other things when in the area!!

    Slowly trekking towards my quest of 1400 reviews... lol. McAlister's is a solid, underrated quick meal stop! In my mind, their points of difference are: - baked potatoes (5-6 different varieties) readily available as a meal or as part of a pick 2! I like this as an option. - the best value in kids' meal I've ever seen! For $3, you get an entree like pizza, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, sandwich, or salad, a side (+$0.59 for an upgrade), and a mini chocolate chip cookie. Love it! Oh, Auntie Anne's hot dog bites are an entree option for a 50% premium ($4.58 meal). - 10% off for military or first aid respondents ongoing! I can't remember if teachers are also included in this. - very clean interior. I've been to 3 different locations this year, and all have consistently shown this. Clean tables, floors, bathrooms. Menu has plenty of hot or cold (like club) sandwiches, 8 or so salads, and 4-5 different soup options, along with the aforementioned spuds. My go to is usually the horseradish roast beef sandwich, which comes warm and is a good balance of savory beef, horseradish to open up your nasal passage, crunchy and acidic red onion, and cheddar cheese. Lastly, it's pretty quick and efficient bc you place your order at the register, get a number, and await your food.

    They are good. I am not a huge fan of sandwiches but when I am in the mood of them, this place has pretty good selections, and I tried their wrap-chicken ceasar one, i liked that too.

    I love that McAllister's is there as an alternative to Panera. Whenever me and the wife feel like eating healthy but also something delicious, this place hits the spot. If you're familiar with the pick 2 options at Panera, they over something similar. 1/2 sandwich, salad, soup, OR spud. You cannot go wrong. I love ordering the chicken salad sandwich and chicken salad as my pick two. They always use fresh ingredients and it always comes out consistent. Their lemonade is bar none also. Worthwhile ordering.

    Bright, clean, and inviting place with a friendly staff. So far I've tried a couple of their ginormous taters, the Veggie Spud and the Max Spud and they were both good and filled with plenty of tasty ingredients. The McAlister's Club is pretty good too. Prices aren't bad when you consider what you're getting for the money.

    Super friendly customer service from a young man name Mello. He gave me a great recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's refreshing to find someone dedicated to putting a smile on your face.

    My daughter and I stumbled upon McAlister's when we were in the area shopping recently and wanted lunch. We ordered sandwiches for curbside pickup on the app, which was very convenient. Their menu has a good variety of sandwiches, some salads, baked potatoes, soups and sides. They were busy so our order was delayed, but when we got home we realized that our food was worth the wait. We both had the New Yorker sandwich with soup and chips as our sides. Everything was really good. The next time we ordered I went inside for pick up and noted a very cute diner like interior. My family and I enjoyed our meal again so we will be regular customers.

    BLTA- Very good sandwhich, garlic and herb mayo is amazing, lots of tomatoes kept the sandwhich moist, but the bread was too soft and soaked up all that moisture, could've used more bacon. 6/10 Chicken Tortilla Soup- Lacked flavor, looked like a plastic film around soup, made it feel like it came out of a can, large and chewy chicken chunks. 2/10

    Across from Golf Mill Mall

    This location is across Milwaukee Avenue from Golf Mill Mall. I always get the giant vegetable potato. I have been to McAlister's in multiple states and the quality is consistent across locations.

    We love Tony's! You quickly get transported into old time Chicago. We only heard about it when we…read moremoved to the neighborhood a few years ago via our neighbors. It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.

    European deli sandwiches with quality ingredients and generous portions on fresh baked bread…read more It's so obvious, DeLishka is delicious! Though a bit obscure and hard to find, those who want a good sandwich know where to go. There is a curated selection of Italian, French and German sandwiches. This was my first visit so ordered a Cipriani with Italian mortadella, marscapone(!), arugula, pistachios and balsamic. It was the marscapone that sold me, but this was generously portioned and (let's be honest) messy for me to eat because the sandwich was piled high. I had to take half to go. I heard a few orders for the Gusti dal Nord (prosciutto, Gorgonzola, arugula and pear), and that sounds enticing as well. The bread is fresh and crusty. They had a tomato soup the day I was there, and I read on the website that they have pierogato -- Eastern European dumplings.

    Just tried this spit. I had a Cipriani and my friend had a Caprese. Our sandwiches were very…read moretasty overall. The bread was freshly baked, the meats sliced correctly and toppings tasty. The mascarpone was more like mayo or butter which I didn't like. The pistachios they add to the sandwich are literally pistachios which is odd. A spread or something would be better. The prices were very fair but we did have to wait about half hour to receive our order. There was one person making sandwiches and one person doing the payments. The place has crummy ambience. The interior is kinda gloomy and the music was loud and unappealing so it would be hard to have a conversation inside and there are two tables outside but they are right along the parking so, again, not appealing. The menu could be bigger and include maybe a couple salads or something else. We liked what we had but I think they need to do a little more to create a place that's really craveable. It's good to have a local sandwich shop option. It this place needs a bit more on its menu and a vibe inside to make it really something special for sandwich lovers.

Each place has a theme, or a charm all its own and Grind N Gears Cafe is one of the latter. When you pull up you immediately recognize the place as a former body shop or service station. Not a as station, but a body shop. They have their own small parking lot in front with special motorcycle parking on the sides of the lot. It's a small place. When you walk inside there is a runner leading up to the counter with their case of delicious looking eats and a platform above with an old Indian motorcycle perched looking over the place. To the right of the counter are some toys for the kids, including a kids motorcycle and other funs toys to keep the kiddos busy while their parents enjoy a magically concocted coffee drink by the shops artisans. There are comfy little sitting areas composed of oversized furniture from your parents basement. The front has a few racks of leather jackets that feels like your at The Alley's northern location. They do have some hats and apparel for their own shop and I almost bought a hat. On the left side, they have another seating area, but it looks more like a table in a cozy kitchen than a sitting room. It's quaint no matter where you look or sit. Lastly, their drinks and food are quite good. With all the stand alone coffee places popping up, Grinds N Gears is one of the cooler places and I don't mean hipster.

    Service isn't the best, but the coffee seems okay, maybe a little better than average…read more Nice concept, but they should put bike people can touch even if they're from the scrapyard. That would automatically make it cooler here.
