    OK, after 11 yrs we got back to this new location. Lots and lots of competition for casual lunches in Collin county. Pretty sure this McAlister's was located several blocks north of current location. I think they occupy to old Container Store location. Anyway great food and service. We both got the pick two and it was plenty of food. Lots of other customers there for lunch and take out. Don't be concerned about ratings on Yelp. Google reviews much better and higher star rating. Very nice interior layout. Just like before but with new stuff. See photos. Hot sunny days try to park on north side for shade without blocking take out parking spots.

    This is my second attempt to get my wrap... I have ordered the same thing a few times and have gotten something different each time. They greet you when you walk in, but then are kind of half checked-out.

    Service was pretty nice but there was a baby crying the whole Time.The food was so hot that I couldn't eat it.

    Been here twice and I've really enjoyed both times! They have decent deals on the app which is why I went. Was super yummy and lots of flavor. I've not typically a baked potato girl but WOW theirs is really yummy and flavorful. Service is fantastic, there's one guy at this location that doesn't even look like he works there but he's so chill and nice. Inside it's clean and I like the no contact order idea, helps when the line is long.

    Ordered my lunch to go thru the app. The app needs to allow for notes. I wanted sour cream on the side and my half tea/lemonade with no ice. When ordering there's not a place to put these notes/customization. When I arrived to pick-up my order it wasn't out on the shelf. So I had to get on the ordering lunch line to inquire about my order. The young lady on the cash register did not seem happy to be at work. Customer service is everything especially when working the cash register. I've been a cashier in retail and entertainment. You serve as the face of the company. When I asked for my order she went to the back to get it. I informed her of my 1/2 and 1/2 drink with no ice. Once returning to work from my lunch break, excited to drink my 1/2 tea and lemonade at the end of my work day to discover it was tea. From the taste it was 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweetened, so disappointing.

    A close up.

    Good stuff. 13 layer club sandwich and carrot cake. Delivered by Uber Eats ahead of schedule.

    No fries! Ah, what a nice change for a fast food eatery. You can actually have your sandwich with steamed vegetables or salad. Don't get me wrong, you can still find fattening options here (potato chips anyone?), but you might be more likely to choose something healthy and delicious. We don't normally visit this location in Plano, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. I think we must have just missed the lunch crowd because a few of the tables still hadn't been cleared of debris. Thankfully there were still lots of clean tables to choose from, including one by the window. It's mostly just parking lot and freeway to look at, but that is pretty much par for the course in the DFW metroplex. I ordered a Jalapeño Turkey Crunch with a side tomato and cucumber salad. The sandwich was fantastic! I was tempted to return to the deli today and get the same thing again. It had just the right balance of each ingredient. The jalapeños provided a bit of heat. The avocado chunks were cool and creamy. At first I thought the crunch was the super thin layer of bacon on the sandwich, but it turned out to be perfectly placed potato chips that didn't overwhelm the sandwich. Even the bread was scrumptious. It was super soft and easy to tear off with every bite. The jalapeño cooked into the bread complemented the sandwich. Sadly my tomato and cucumber salad was not as good. There were too few tomato chunks, and the pieces that were there, were quite large. The oil/vinegar/balsamic sauce that they were swimming in did not seem fresh. I immediately regretted not getting the steamed broccoli like my hubby or even a soup instead. My husband's french dip looked amazing. He had no complaints. Matter of fact there was no conversation because he was busy enjoying his meal too. The young man at the register was helpful during our meal selection and afterwards when we asked for drink refills of tea before departing. While we might not return to this particular location, I will definitely return to McAlisters to order this sandwich.

    I got the Turkey sandwich and the pecan berry salad choose two option. The salad and especially the dressing was so good with a good amount of salad toppings. We got this for my work team to go and it came through smoothly so definitely a solid lunch spot in the area.

    When I went I ordered a Reuben, but the person who brought it to my table called it a New Yorker, which has ham in it, causing some confusion (I do not eat ham). It was a Reuben but I was freaked out for a minute or two. I also asked for spicy brown mustard and received yellow mustard, so some quality issues.... but the sandwich itself was good. Also, this may be a tad nit-picky, but my plate and bowl hadn't been wiped and looked dirty when they were served to me. I'm sure it wasn't dirty, but maybe the person who was plating could be more careful and try to be neater? It just didn't look appealing.

There are also frozen ice cream sandwiches which are served inside of macarons. There is a wall of drinks and large counters of baked goods. We loved our cakes, scones, pop tarts, and danish.

They offer a pretty good selection of salads, like Greek, Thai, Cobb, Caesar, and Ranch, as well as dressings of your choice. I like their Thai salad, which has cucumber slices, shredded carrots, romaine lettuce, and red cabbage. They are all very fresh. The dressing is actually what I like the most. It's peanuty, spicy but not too strong, with a subtle tangy and sour note. For my protein option, I've tried their chicken and tofu. The chicken is fine. I like the tofu better though, which is moist, tender, and savory. They also offer seasonal lemonade drink. I've had their cucumber mint lemonade, which is super refreshing especially on a hot Texas summer day! The service is fast. I was there one time during the peak lunch hour. The vehicle line was long, but it moved pretty quick. Give it a try if you want a quality salad at a great price!

First off, service was super attentive the whole night, even when the restaurant started getting pretty busy during the dinner rush. We were served complementary salad, dip, and bread and our water cups never ran dry! The bread was also super fresh and warm and fluffy, which paired perfectly with the hummus and other dishes we ordered. My favorite savory bite of the night was definitely the cag kebab. The lamb was so tender and not gamey at all, and the meat was also grilled to order! It ended up more medium than the medium rare we asked for but still super delicious. I enjoyed eating it as a wrap with the flatbread, and the accompanying onions and tomatoes were super refreshing. The chicken kabob was dry for our tastes and the fries weren't super crispy, but we really loved the savory rice on the side. And the big surprise of the night was how much we all enjoyed the beef iskender! It came in this great tomato sauce that paired well with the cup of yogurt that came on the side. We finished with a couple of desserts that were both delicious and not too sweet. Complementary black tea came out first with sugar cubes for sweetening, and then we got the rice pudding and the Turkish custard. The rice pudding was creamy but not too heavy, and the Turkish custard was super thick and really delicious. I'd never had this dish before but we all agreed we would definitely order it again. Really excellent meal here and I think we were one of only two tables that weren't of Persian descent in the restaurant, which speaks for the satisfying nature of the food. Looking forward to coming back to try other things on the menu, and for the cag kebab!
