    I had never been here and decided to stop by for a quick lunch. They offer soups, sandwiches and salads, etc...it reminded me kind of like a Panera. Service was good, place was clean, the food was just okay. I've definitely had better soups and sandwiches. Nothing went wrong, I'm just not sure this is somewhere I'd return to, there's just too many other options that seem better.

    Country Potato Soup and  Black Angus Club

    We visited McAlister's today for lunch. I heard that it was a great neighborhood spot for lunch. You order at the counter, take a number and head to your table. They offer a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads. Also featuring a choose two option if you're into that. I had the black angus club with country potato soup. The sandwich was decent and the soup lacked flavor. The portions are also on the smaller side. My partner had a grilled cheese and chili. Overall the food was okay. I am sure we will give McAlister's another try again in the near future. The server pointed out a few of his favorites and it's close to our house.

    Pecanberry salad and New Yorker

    Excellent deli sandwiches, quickly prepared. Lots of choices and generous portions, even in the pick two categories. Nice to have nachos as one of the pick two choices. Really enjoyed my New Yorker with the Pecanberry salad.

    This is the Chicago style French dip...

    I've been wanting to try McAlister's Deli, I was actually excited to try this--and I couldn't be more disappointed. I ordered through Uber Eats and had issues with multiple items. The sweet tea was unsweet (wrong item). The carrot cake was hard and clearly not fresh. The chicken and dumplings were completely broken down into mush--there were no actual dumplings left. The steak sandwich had very little flavor and an odd texture, and it included chunks of raw carrots that weren't mentioned. For the price the sandwichis extremely small if you are a grown man you will need 2. This whole experience was extremely disappointing. This felt like poor quality control across the entire order, and I wouldn't order from here again. The only edible item was the potato salad and they don't even give you a full spoonful. I would not recommend ordering from here.I would go elsewhere.

    Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Excellent sandwich. A bit on the expensive side. Sorry I only took a pic of 1:4 of the sandwich ( I was hungry.

    My wife wanted to stop in as she was stoked we finally got a McAlister's, so we did just that. This is a beautiful new restaurant located in a new shopping center. I ordered the chose two and my choices were the horseradish roast beef and cheddar, and a grilled chicken salad. I was very happy with my meal, I thought the portions were good for the price and the food was very fresh. I loved my sandwich, and I must say the bread was so soft and fresh. My wife ordered a chose two as well with a french dip and a side of mac and cheese. There is an upcharge for the mac and cheese and my wife mentioned was not worth it. She did say the french dip was really good. We split an iced team with peach added to it and thought it was so good yea we got a refill. The staff at the counter was friendly. We did find it out that one employee asked the text next to us if she could clear their table and offered them refills, but that was the only table to ever be offered refills and to be cleared. Once she did that she went back behind the counter and chatted with another employee. This does not change my opinion of the place, it was just an observation. I would stop back in as I thought the food was very good.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Cathryn G.

    I'm a huge fan of McAlister's Deli from my grad school days in Gainesville. It was a better version of Panera before anyone had heard of Panera and it still is a huge leap above. They serve sandwiches, salads, soups and such. McAlister's is also well known for their spuds, or baked potatoes loaded with toppings. I also highly recommend their iced tea. I was so stoked that a McAlister's was finally opening in this area, but I will say it is in a rapidly growing area where it may face quite a bit of competition. I hope it survives. I've been to this new location several times and partaken in my favorite dish which is their tortilla soup. It is a cheesy chicken soup spiced with green chiles and roasted peppers. It is served with tortilla chips on the side that you can dip or crumble in the soup. Although the food has lived up to my memory I will say that my experience at this location so far hasn't been quite up to par. Every time I have walked in I have been greeted by a host of dirty tables which is really unappealing. When I was there earlier this week it appeared only 2 people were working (1 in front and 1 in back). I hope they get the kinks out soon because I am real fan of the food.

    Its basically a knock off Panera. Problem is you're paying almost $20 for essentially a kids portion of food. The potato soup was terrible. It was basically water with a couple chunks of potato. The chicken club was decent, flavor wise. The entire portion was smaller than an appetizer that you would order at a restaurant. I don't see this place lasting long here with the current set up. It was definitely a one and done for me.

    Since I previously visited this franchise in Jacksonville I knew I could rely on the sandwiches that are served for a quick lunch in Kissimmee. You order at a counter and you receive a number that's placed on a stand on the table. My husband decided on a French Dip and chips, and I tried the McAllister club, both regular size, with a lemonade for him and an Arnold Palmer for me. The lunch was brought quickly to our table, even though it was still lunchtime. The location is convenient to where we stayed and it looks like the area is fairly new with other restaurants next door or very close by. I was surprised that they requested a tip when paying at the counter, because there are no real waiters or waitresses aside from the cashiers. Sandwiches are "fine" but not anything over a normal amount as opposed to my memory of the other location.

    Ok this has to be my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I loved the food so much. Alfredo was my…read moreserver and he had the best recommendation and I loved it. The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language. But this is soo good and I can see why the reviews on yelp are all stellar.

    I live close, so have come here quite a bit over the year…read more Pro- Just got renovated, so it looks pretty. The staff is nice, and the food is good. They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive. Add a tip and you're paying over $50 for street food. That's wild.

There are tables inside and outside where you can people watch while dining. There are many hot and cold sandwich options, wraps, salads, soups, and fresh baked goods to choose from. Plus they have a few beers as well as water, iced tea, and soft drinks. Customers make their selections and order at the counter. Then they receive a device that flashes and vibrates when the order is completed. My friend and I visited on a Thursday for lunch. It was a little chilly out so we wanted to try the hot sandwiches. I ordered the Pastrami, ($9.49,) but without the sauerkraut. It was a decent sized sandwich and pretty good. It did have a lot of pastrami. My friend had the Original 1762, which was roast beef, horseradish, and cheddar cheese. She said it was just o.k. ($9.49 as well) The ordering was fast, but the sandwiches took a rather long time to be ready. Earl of Sandwich is definitely a good option for a fairy quick meal in Disney Springs.
