Not sure what happened but the quality of food has definitely declined! The salad my husband got had so many bad pieces of lettuce in it, he wasn't even able to eat it. The chicken salad was so watery that the container had water at the bottom. I ordered a baked potato that appeared to be made a few days ago since it was so extremely dry and crunchy. Very disappointed. read more

Walked in with 2 of my friends that had never been, and we were staring at the menu for a while trying to figure out vegan options for one of us. We must've stood there for a long time as one employee rudely stated, "If you're not going to order anything you might as well get out". He quickly tried to make it seem less rude by saying "It was a joke haha". We all looked at each other and left. Terrible experience, will never come back again. read more

Not bad. I eat there with my daughters on many occasions. It is not a company store but the food is done well and staff are extremely courteous and efficient. I like their chili with a baked potato as well as their Reuben. Sides tend to be a bit small but adequate. I would recommend for a lunch date read more

McAlister's Deli is one of my Favs. I call it my office away from the office. It has a great environment and AWESOME staff who are very friendly. The food is good, great proportions, and reasonably priced. Especially if you take the surveys they give out. Additionally, they have amazing tea, and great chocolate chip cookies. Love this place!!! read more

I've never had anything I didn't like! I am specifically writing this review in regards to the customer service that I have received at this location. If I were to give them a grade it would be A+++++! I went one night with my best friend, who had recently broken her ankle, and one of the employees came running up to hold the door as my friend used her scooter to enter. It was an example of someone going above and beyond to help. The staff at this location are always friendly and don't mind if you ask questions about the menu. I personally like finding out what some of the employees favorite dishes are, as I'm still working my way through the menu :)! This is most assuredly one of my favorite places to eat! read more

Worst service ever. The server screwed up the ice tea order... it only took 8 minutes waiting in line for a replacement. The salad was terrible due to lettuce gone bad. The Rubens were good. Not what I was expecting from the reviews. read more

Great place to have lunch or early dinner, I've eaten from here a lot times but not been there in person 'til xmas eve when I ordered a signature sandwich platter cause the wiffy didn't feel like cooking and I was very pleased with the food, very reasonable price and it was delicious read more

Disgustingly dirty restaurant. I don't want to imagine what it looks like in the back when they can't manage to keep tables clean on a slow lunch day. Crumbs and caked-on food litter the tables. Waitresses are clearly untrained at bussing tables. I switched tables 3 times before settling on one that wasn't as dirty as the others. My soup was lukewarm and unappealing. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Place was clean and employees nice and helpful. The portions are kinda on the small side but the food was good. You also get free nachos with your meal (not sure if that is a limited thing or not). I would eat here again if my kids wanted too. read more

Love the online pick up order options. Both visits were great. I love the soup and salad options. Splurged on an amazing baked potato the first time here. A nice change from greasy fast food when you need to grab a quick bite. read more

My husband raved about this place so I thought I would give it a try. I went with my dad and we ordered take out. I got the basil Parmesan chicken panini with a side of mac and cheese, my dad got the Havarti sweet chipotle chicken panini with a side of potato salad, and hubby got the spud ole'. Mine was pretty good. It has a ton of basil, which I love. The chicken was tender, the bread was toasted and it had some sauteed red peppers for more flavor. Mac and cheese was creamy. My dad and I switched halves of our sandwiches and I tried his chipotle chicken sandwich. I am not much of a sweet sandwich fan, but I liked this one too. I didn't try my husband's but it was a HUGE potato and covered in chili and cheese. Totally up my alley. He kept saying over and over again that the sweet tea was "so good." I didn't use it this time, but I saw they had a $1.99 kid's menu that I am sure the kiddo will love. Can't wait to try it again. read more

I love the taste of the sandwiches! They are so good! I got the Italian with a side of veggies. I cannot wait to eat here again! The only downside is their prices are high, but it is worth it. read more

McAlister's Deli - Italian sandwich with pickle and side of veggies - Delis Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

We order from this location at least once a month and have been doing so for years. Their service and food is pretty darn good and we've never had any issues, until today (dun dun duuun). I ordered half a grilled CHICKEN caesar wrap, first off it came in taco form instead of rolled, totally not a big deal because I like tacos, but then the main ingredient "chicken " was MIA. We had been joking that they were back there plucking the chicken because it was taking longer than normal to get my order, come to find out they just gave up on the chicken and just decided to not give me any. It probably won't stop me from ordering from here again (for now), but I will be checking my order before I leave. read more

McAlister's Deli - Where's the chicken? - Delis Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

I ordered a sandwich (smoky pepper jack and turkey) and it was the saddest sandwich I have ever seen. It had one piece of bacon on it. ONE piece and it was only about 3 inches long! It was mostly just bread. Not worth a $7 sandwich. I also got a ice water. The water smelled and tasted HORRIBLE. It must of been strait from the sink. I sat at 3 dirty tables before I found a clean table... there was only one other family in the place. One star for food coming fast.... that was a positive. read more

Good Sandwiches, Small Portions. I bought 4 sandwiches and my bill was $54. That's $13.50 a sandwich! I feel like if I'm paying that much there should be real bacon on my sandwich. To be honest I would have rather went to Corner Bakery or Jason's Deli (at least there proportions are normal sized) but there are none around here. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because my roommates love it, which is understandable since it's the only sandwich shop I could find in Rowlett. I gave it 3 stars but I'm changing it to 2. read more

Pretty generic sandwich fair. Long, slow lines to order. Not enough staff. Manager off chatting to the side while the front counter is in the weeds. We had a table of four. They forgot our youngest daughters lunch. The manager went back and looked on the order, it was there. So they prepared it. My hot sandwich, the big nastey, came out cold as a stone. Yum, cold gravy. Don't count on refills either. I've been to other locations, much better. Don't hold it against the chain, just avoid this location. read more

Sooooo they messed up my order they put mustard instead of honey mustard and that really ruined my appetite, to add on it was soggy from the bottom. read more

Best family dining deli ever!!! The google user who said it was overpriced is insane. This casual deli style restaurant is fairly inexpensive with most meals under $8, and it is a great family value because kids meals are $1 if you dine in. My family of 6 eats there for under $20. Beside the value, you have a great variety to choose from. I personally love the chicken club, which they can make into a wrap, or the chipotle chicken sandwich. The salads are very good as well. I have yet try anything that was not good, and I have worked my way through 2/3rds of the menu. The food is light, healthy, and flavorful. I highly recommend McAlister's, and the staff at this location is very nice, attentive, and timely with their service. Do yourself a favor and eat here. read more

We don't come often but each time we have we've thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was very well prepared and the staff was so friendly. The cookies were so good. But the sweet tea was the best. read more

McAlister's Deli - So tasty we had to bring some home. - Delis Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

Have always had a good experience here. Really love the fact they offer gluten free bread for sandwiches!

Love McAlister's Deli just wish there was one closer to me. They have great tea and food!

If they could improve their togo packing problems, I would give them another star for their food. We gave them 3 chances for togo but 2 out of 3, either they missed one one of the food, or they totally messed up the orders. read more

They're so worried about their door dash orders that they're forgetting about regular customers. Literally waited about 30 minutes for a salad. It wasn't until I asked that they realized my order didn't even make it back although I was literally the only person waiting for a to go order as about 10 dash door orders were set out. read more

Food ok. Bathroom has NO hooks for a purse in ladies. What are we to do? Put them on the floor. Back 3/26/17. They are installed both stalls. Thanks very much. I can speak for all with a purse. Thanks! read more

Ordered the BLT & A for carry out tonight. Got home to a burnt sandwich. Unacceptable!! read more

McAlister's Deli - Delis Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

See all

They have a friendly staff, great food and clean environment. Love picking up a healthy meal after working out next door.

Last Week I Ordered a Orange Cranberry Club and a Fruit Cup as my side. When they brought it out, I noticed my fruits looking flat/stale, especially the grape. I turned my fruits over and there was mold on them. I usually go there but now i'm not sure if I want to go anymore. read more

Love their baked potatoes and their tea. A good place for mostly lunch, but occassionally dinner.

Mcallister's is your standard deli and offers, here's a shocker, standard deli food. However, their standard deli food is, in my opinion, above average. The food is always fresh and tasty. It's not the end all/be all of sandwich-type-yummies, but the food can constitute a really pleasant meal. The fact that I have not eaten the best sandwich of my life at Mcallister's is the reason I couldn't quite give this place five stars. That, and the fact that it can be a bit pricey for a simple lunch date. Overall, it's a good place to grab a quick, somewhat healthy bite. read more

Absolute best customer service in town. Great management and an excellent staff. Food is always fresh and service is always prompt.

I just don't know why this place can't do better in their food prep. Tonight I ordered the Ham and Cheese Melt. Whomever put my sandwich together just piled a wad of ham in the center of the bread, slapped the top on and heated it. I took it apart and portioned the meat in order to have a half decent sandwich. It doesn't matter what I order, it is always just thrown together. The soup usually has to be sent back to be re-heated. It is as though no one cares about quality. I think it must really be hard to hire anyone who give a hoot about their product. Really sad. They have a clean restaurant, and the employees are friendly. If you speak with the "manager of the hour", that person will try to make you happy, but it gets old having to send food back and wait. It should be right in the beginning. read more

Great customer service! We were waiting for about 15 minutes for our food (unlike McAlister's usually speedy service) so my husband went to go check on our food. Aurora apologized and said that it accidentally got rang in wrong and that she would get our order out ASAP. 5 minutes later we got our meals and they were SO good! Aurora made it right with us and took care of us through the rest of our meal. This is how customer service is supposed to be! Thanks Aurora! read more

This is not my first unsatisfactory experience with this particular McAlisters. In general I love the restaurant but this location has been unsatisfactory. Today I went to get my food during my lunch break and had to wait to pick up my order. This has been a continual frustration with this location. They make such a big deal with togo parking and a togo register that I expect to receive immediate service...my lunch break is only 30 minutes!! I ordered the French dip sandwich which comes with aus jus sauce. Well the sauce was thrown in my bag (I watched them) and when I got back to work I had to clean up a whole mess of brown juice that was all over everything in the bag. Then when I ate my sandwich the meat and bread were burned and they forgot to put on the cheese! read more

I used to love this McAlister's but ever since the new manager came, it has gone down the drain. My food is never made right, the staff if not nearly as friendly as they used to be and they always have the excuse that things weren't made right because they are really busy. That's no excuse. They should be prepared. Very dissatisfied and disappointing. I hope they can get it together because I want to like coming here again but, for now, I'm not planning on coming back again. read more

Love this location in Rowlett. Manager and staff were extremely nice. Food is always great.

The food and service is good if you eat in the restaurant. I continue to be frustrated by incorrect to go orders and the lack of concern that it was incorrect when I call to inform them. Customer service for to go orders is a big "F" from me. I've learned my lesson after the third attempt. read more

Good potatoes there tea is not so good, thought it would be better since they sell it by da gallon. Ok cleanliness. Service not so great read more

Great food, fast/friendly service. Good location

Went here for a to go order tonight. Made a couple of modifications to my sandwhich and they ignored my request. I asked for things off of my sandwich because I can't eat them so I wasted my money. It's a bunch of kids here who obviously don't care about their job. Go to the Wylie location for better service and food quality read more

I absolutely love Mcalisters food but all the girls who work there except maybe one are God awful, terribly rude. I live in Wylie and this is the closest location and I will be making the farther drive to avoid the rude employees here. They rarely greet you nor do they even say have a good night or check on you for refills regardless of how slow they are. My order is never correct either and it's always such a big deal for them to fix anything. read more
