    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.

    I enjoyed the food, just a longer wait time than expected about 20 min ticket time from ordering with few people in the restaurant. Staff was nice and accommodating with different bread selections. The Choose Two option was helpful and cost exactly $10.00, but the sandwich was pretty small. The spud was filling though.

    I have to say this wasn't my usual dining experience no fault of the restaurant. I'll get to that…read morelater. I was craving a gyro and was suggested this place. It's really cool that they have a golf simulator set up. I was greeted by Jennifer and she had a very upbeat attitude. She bought over the menu which also has Social 18 Greek Kitchen, which is more traditional Greek fare. I received my food and begun to dig in. The gyro meat was tender and I loved that it had chopped tomatoes so I can get some in every bite. I don't know if the tzatziki sauce was homemade, but the flavor of garlic and dill was good enough that I was dipping my fries into it. The fries were salted well and fresh prepared. This is where the unusual experience came in. As I was eating and scrolling FB and a news story came up with more detail of a friends passing. And I just started to cry, Jennifer came over to check in on me, while I was trying to hold myself together. She understood my situation and she bought me a to-go container and some napkins. She even offered a hug which I took her up on. People like her are rare. Thanks for a great lunch!

Portions were small and didn't really seem like the value equaled the price. The biggest thing: 3. The food was not good. My burger was dry and hardly hand enough condiments and sauce on it. My kids chicken fingers were way over cooked and burnt. Fries tasted a but stale and no salt what so ever on them. For what was paid for what I got was a big disappointment. Probably will not be back anytime soon.

I love how you can customize your bowl and choose from a variety of sauces. I got the gochujang sauce, but it was a little too strong for my liking; I was also not a huge fan of the fried chicken since it tasted very chewy vs crispy and did not taste like real chicken to me. The veggies and sweet potato noodles were very yummy and fresh though. The ingredients pair very well together, so I might need just need to pick a different protein next time. I will say that the bowl was packed and very filling though, so I did enjoy how I got a nice quick meal that was customizable. I was not able to see the ambiance of the restaurant since we ordered delivery, but I'll definitely check out the restaurant again in-person when I get a chance. It's basically a build your own bowl but with a Korean food twist!
