    The McAllister Deli is way superior to a Panera. The food was on point for a great lunch. The restaurant was clean and fresh in appearance. The staff wS amazing with details to allergies and super friendly. Definitely going to visit again.

    I first went to a McAlister's down in North Carolina years ago and am happy that there's one nearby! I will add more photos next time I go but today it's so cold I just got soup. The staff is always friendly and ready to greet you as soon as you walk in. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, soup, and loaded baked potatoes. Their French Dip is one of the best I've ever had. My husband loves the smoky pepper jack turkey sandwich. There's plenty of seating (both booths and tables) and they also offer catering.

    I had the opportunity to try the veggie offerings at McAlister's Deli in North Olmsted, recently, and I can tell you that the dish is a far cry from the kind of sad veggie sandwiches of yesterday. I ordered the "Choose 2" including a half sandwich and soup, choosing, of course, The Veggie sandwich and the Veggie Chili. The Veggie Sandwich is served on a 9-grain bread, topped with spinach, tomato, cucumber, red onions, multi-colored peppers that they roast in-house, and avocado. The sandwich is usually served with herb mayo, which I chose to forego, and replaced instead with brown mustard. The bread was chewy, the veggies were crisp & fresh, and the avocado and mustard added a creamy element so that I didn't miss the mayo in the slightest. I chose the Veggie Chili as my other half of the "Choose 2" and it, too, was a solid plant-based offering. This bean-based chili is made with a vegetable base, pinto & kidney beans, and all of the spices and veggies you'd expect in a great chili. It was hearty, satisfying, and just what I was looking for to warm up a chilly day, no pun intended. Add to a great meal the fact that the service was truly exceptional, with two extraordinarily helpful team members that supported our visit, and I left full, happy, and with a satisfied plant-based heart and stomach. Heartfelt gratitude to the team at McAlister's Deli for helping me find plant-based offerings that are intentional, beautiful, flavorful, and nutritionally sound. Much appreciation to everyone at McAlister's for keeping their plant-based friends in mind.

    Baked potato and chili. Good food. Hot and tasty. Ordered it for pick up and it was ready right on time. The counter guy greeted me promptly, thanked me for coming. Restaurant is always clean.

    This is becoming our new go to for sandwiches and salads. Such a wide variety of items. Kids did not like the pizza and said the sauce was spicy.

    Truth in advertising?
    Rick W.

    I want to be clear, my lunch tasted great. The service was, likewise, excellent - the kids behind the counter were polite and couldn't have been nicer. For that reason, I'm giving 4 -stars. My only issue (aside from the dirty entryway) was the bait and switch advertising of the sandwiches. If you look at what is supposed to be the Jalapeno Turkey Crunch in their advertising, you'll see layer upon layer of chips - intended to provide flavor and CRUNCH. Instead, the sandwich I got had probably 3 chips per half and they were smashed between bacon and cheese and mayo so they stood no chance. not only could i not really taste anything resembling a jalapeno, there was almost nothing in terms of crunch either. I don't blame the workers. These kinds of decisions come down to the bean counters and management (store, regional, corp). That said, the sandwich tasted great. My wife also enjoyed her soup and salad. We'll be back, I'm sure, but will I ever really trust McAlister's to provide the sandwich I've seem in print.

    Husband had never been here and he does not like Panera. April and Jen are the nicest ladies kind courteous and friendly. Had the choose 2 with Potato soup and the Savannah chopped salad. Soul was hot and salad fresh with plenty of tasty toppings. Had the new passion berry ice tea (half&half with unsweetened tea) Hubby had the Italian w/side salad. Food came out fast and fresh. He even said he'd go there again!

    Potbelly is a great place to go if you want an awesome, fresh, "honest" sandwich. I've been coming…read morehere for 20 years, having lived in Chicago since 2005 before moving to Cleveland. This is a Chicago company that I'm glad has landed in Cleveland. I was never a fan of Subway or any of those other places. Potbelly is different. How? Allow me to explain. First, I'll tell you what I usually get, then build from there. I love their turkey, Swiss, and avocado--my absolute fave. Their Italian "Wreck" is Ah-Mazing. The new prime rib is also excellent. For these sandwiches to work, you really need to start with fresh ingredients, or they'll be awful. After they come out of the oven, they add the avocado. I usually add the lettuce, onion, tomato, and a heaping helping of mayo and giardiniera or hot peppers. They're SO good. Their sandwiches are stuffed with ingredients, regardless of which size you get. The Skinny is filling; that's their smallest size. But wait, there's more! Their bagged chips are sui generis to Potbelly. I haven't even seen them sold in Chicago. But they pair perfectly with their sandwiches. Now, I recommend washing this all down with a bit of sweetness. Their Dream Bars are AH-MAZING. Grab one, even if you save it for later. I love them. I'm a big fan of their lemonade because I'm just sick of carbonated sodas. Folks, Clevelanders....it's worth your while to give this place an honest shot! Potbelly... bring back the PB&J! Nothing like a good, toasted, PB&J!

    Potbelly is always one of my favorites. The sandwiches are always good and the buns are great and…read moredelicious. Always a value , and don't forget the cookies. Service was prompt and efficient. No issues. Tables clean and clear.
