I ordered half French dip and half a pecanberry salad with raspberry vinaigrette. The strawberries and the blueberries were squishy and the vinaigrette was more like a syrup. The French dip was grisly. I sat down at the table to wait for my food. There 7 of us. While sitting there visiting and waiting for our food a cockroach ran up the bench seat my friends were sitting on. I was in a chair right across the table watching this cockroach running up the cushion. We will not ever be back. This is a new place that recently opened up. read more

It has been a long time since I visited a McAlister's Deli, and after this visit, it will probably be a long time before the next one. Nothing was technically wrong. I just left wondering why I did not go literally anywhere else. Let's start with the good, because there is some. The atmosphere is actually really nice for a sandwich shop. Clean, bright, welcoming, and clearly well cared for. The staff was constantly cleaning, wiping, and straightening, which made me feel like I could safely eat off the floor if things really went sideways. It would be a solid spot for a quick, informal lunch meeting where everyone pretends they are not judging each other's food choices. Service was also good. Tiffany was friendly, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. The rest of the team seemed well trained and happy to be there. Even though the place was clearly overstaffed for a brand new opening, no one was awkwardly leaning on a counter pretending to be busy. That alone deserves some snaps and a clap. Now let's talk about the food, which is where things go from warm and inviting to aggressively average. The bread looked like it should be crispy and fresh. It was warm, but somehow also soft and soggy at the same time. An impressive contradiction. The bacon tasted like precooked bacon that had been introduced to liquid smoke and never emotionally recovered. The deli meats tasted like presliced grocery store meats. Salty, perfectly uniform, and suspiciously familiar if you have ever stood in front of the Walmart deli case questioning your life choices. The lettuce was bagged spring mix, which added a confusing texture and made me wonder why my sandwich suddenly felt like a side salad having an identity crisis. The sandwich was fine. Not bad. Not good. Just there. Existing. But the real star of the show, and by star I mean cautionary tale, was the macaroni and cheese. This was hands down the worst part of the meal. It tasted exactly like frozen grocery store mac and cheese. The pasta had the texture of mashed potatoes and the cheese sauce tasted like pale yellow glue that had seen some things. If this is someone's favorite menu item, I hope they are doing okay. Do not order this. Ever. And finally, the price. My large sandwich, side, and drink came out to about twenty five dollars after tax and tip. At that price point, I expected at least one ingredient to whisper words of encouragement to me. Bottom line. If you want a great sub, go to Jersey Mike's or walk next door and grab a Pub Sub. If you want a clean, comfortable place to meet a friend and talk while eating food that will not offend you but also will not impress you, this place will do just fine. read more

My wife and I decide to give this place a shot on their opening day. They had plenty of staff and assistance there to ensure everything went smoothly. Our experience was nothing less than that. My wife ordered the grilled chicken wrap while I ordered the grilled chicken, spud and grilled chicken salad combo. My dish was absolutely huge and a great value! My wife enjoyed her wrap as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding experience at the McAlister's Deli in Pensacola! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel right at home. Berkeley was fantastic--super helpful, friendly, and on top of everything with a genuine smile that brightened my day. Then manager Katherine personally checked on me, asked how everything was, and had the warmest, most welcoming energy. It's rare to get that level of personal attention these days, and it made all the difference. The food was spot-on too--fresh sandwich, perfect portions, and of course, that famous sweet tea hit the spot. Clean restaurant, quick service, and true Southern hospitality. If you're in the area (especially near Blue Angel Plaza), this is the spot! Highly recommend--I'll definitely be back. Thank you, Berkeley and Katherine, for making it such a great visit! read more

Highly recommend McAllister's. All sandwiches are good. I thought they were reasonably priced.

My order was incorrect two times in one day and then they got upset because they had to remake it the correct way whenever you use them again read more

Glad to see a McAlister's in town, especially so close to us. They are obviously still working out the kinks, but the food was pretty good. The menu is slightly different than the one in other McAlister's we are used to. My biggest issue with this location is the lighting. It was blinding, especially in the booths. You need to lower the wattage on the bulbs you're using. At least in the lower hanging lamps. read more

Did an online order for delivery. They fort my 4.00 drink and it took forever to be ready for pick up. Food got to the house and the nachos were so sad with hardly any toppings. SADDD! The fact that it cost 19.0 read more

I ordered a Ruben with no thousand island add mayo. What I received was a sandwich with no thousand, no mayo and no cheese. Just bread and meat. A dry sandwich. Even if they would have put the Swiss on that was supposed to be there and left the mayo off, I could have dealt with it. Instead I just threw it away. First and last time I've ever gone. I will stick to my Publix sub. read more

The service was terrible!! Waited over an hour for my to go order! Then they messed up my order. Ordered a 12 inch sandwich and they wrapped a 6in in my order that CLEARLY said 12in, hassled me for my receipt and then no apologies were given. Took another 30 minutes to make my sandwich and at this point i didn't even want it the rest of my food was cold and the service was terrible to be such an expensive service. 0/10 will not be eating again! wish i could leave 0 stars. read more
