    2nd time have been here in a week. The harvest chicken salad sandwich is great. Shout out to Shy for keeping my drink refilled, it was very appreciated.

    Yuck

    Food was prepared sloppy, thrown together. The strawberry shortcake was served literally frozen solid. The chicken was disgusting and chewy, the veggies were wilted. The entire meal was a total waste of money. The teenagers who were working need major training in customer service, half the time they are all congregating in the back while NOBODY is at the front counter and customers have to stand there waiting for someone to appear. This location needs major management/ leadership help.

    Idiots

    I would pay to give ZERO stars... ordered a King Club with no honey mustard add mayo, confirmed twice while ordering and once while I was waiting 17 minutes for my one sandwich to-go. The people in line behind me were eating for 10 minutes by the time I got mine. The place was not busy. And it was WRONG! I said no honey mustard and add mayo three times. You know why I asked three times? Because the F it up every time! So now you know how incompetent the workers are. Let's discuss the filth. The subway tile on wall behind the register looks like it was cleaned with a mop after the they mopped the parking lot. The kid working the expo/pass was eating a salad while preparing trays for the dining room. He came out and asked me if I was waiting for an order with salad dressing on his face. Then at minute 15 someone asked if I needed to place an order. Pathetic, disgusting, inaccurate, incompetent and grimy! I will never be back and this is going on Nextdoor, and local neighborhood Facebook pages and IG. Winners of the worst of the worst! You suck!

    This table has been empty since I got here 15 minutes ago. Yuck.

    I love McAlister's and eat at the location close to home often. I'm in Rowlett tonight, so I stopped by this location. It smells dirty. It is dirty. Vacant tables are filthy with old food sitting on them. Employees who seem tired and irritated. The lids at the drink station are scattered all over and there is something sticky on the counter top. There is a box to advertise something about McAlister's kids, but it's empty...so it just looks out of place. The young girls and guy working seem to be friends, but no one seems to be doing much work. No one was at the counter when I walked in and the girl who came out to help me had a jacket sloppily hanging halfway off. The food was still good, but the staff and cleanliness of the restaurant need work! I think I'll stick to the Wylie location in the future. It's clean, and the customer service is top notch.

    Receipt showing order and what was received!

    Ordered online tonight and specifically requested BBQ chips and receipt even states this and I receive plain sea salt chips. Can't even get an order correct!

    This picture doesn't do justice to all the water on the floor.

    We come to McAlisters all the time. I'm not sure I can come back. They decide at dinner time, hours before closing to scrub the floors. They put water all over to where it is a safety hazard. The girl who is cleaning the floor decides to squeegee the floors to get rid of the dirty water and then puts the mats back. She then walks right past the sink messes with her hair walks right to my waiting food and then picks them up and brings them to me with her hands all over every thing. They used to have the best manager. I'm not sure what happened to him, but they need to bring him back.

    Enjoyed a light lunch at McAlister's Deli today. The restaurant is clean and food came out super fast. I ordered the McAlister's Club sandwich. You get 4 of these thick chunks of layered sandwich, complete with meats/cheese/spring greens/tomato and honey mustard and mayo. The mustard gives it a nice flavor. You can get a side and a pickle spear with it. The pickles are not sour and have a great texture and crunch to them. I got the bbq spud chips and they are kettle cooked bbq chips. Their tea has a nice flavor and strength, not all overly water down. It's a good place to swing In for a quiet, light lunch. I am here on a Monday at 11:30 am. The busy lunch crowd may not have hit yet.

    1/2 of sandwich. No ham, small blob of turkey, chewy roast beef

You have the standard salad fixins along with several side salads such as a mustard potato salad, Italian pasta salad, corn relish and more. Add to that the variety of toppings along with humus and as many green olives and whole hard boiled eggs as you want. And that means now that sweet tomatoes is gone they are the most affordable salad bar you can easily find because Souper Salads is great --- if you can still find one. Bottomline if you are smart you could get all the key ingredients for a great salad already chopped, sliced and diced - buy your own lettuce and favorite dressing and you could easily have the makings for a lunch salad at least two days on hand. With maybe a side potato salad with your dinner. And we have not talked about their sandwiches and baked potatoes plus brewed ice tea!

It always seems like some young teenager working the register who doesn't really want to be there. Also there have been times their ice cream machine runs low and starts spewing ice cream everywhere when you pull the levers. There staff definitely need to check on the machine more often, plus they often run out of ice cream cones and chocolate syrup from the pump dispenser. The atmosphere is fine, and there are usually staff keeping the tables clean, and the floors free of debris, but that ice cream machine though. ‍

The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food.

Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!
