Delicious love in a glass
Carolina E.

Lots of parking, friendly staff, and always consistent tasty food. The strawberry shortcake is scrumptious with its sweet strawberry puree, and the cake is a spongy texture but moist. It's definitely worth the price. One bite made me fall in love! My favorites are the club and the Chicken, avocado blt. Tea is definitely like a hug in a cup with rays of sunshine.

McAlister's Club

I visited McAlister's Deli around 7:30 PM on a Saturday and was the only person dining in, though there were several carry-out and food delivery orders during my time there. I ordered the McAlister's Club sandwich and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup, along with an iced tea. The soup was hot but fairly average, which was about what I expected. The sandwich had a generous amount of turkey and ham, but it was a little disappointing to only find one slice of bacon. The restaurant was clean, and overall, the experience was decent for a quick, casual meal.

Toasted Italian, McAlister's Club, side of mac.

Food was good. Staff was friendly. Great tea. Some dishes/trash on a few tables but it didn't really bother me, just an observation. I got I believe the McAlister Club and the Italian. Both were good. Fresh and good ingredients. Side of mac was good as well. Firm pasta which I like. Not a mushy mess. Overall good. I'll be back.

Their club sandwich is seriously delicious
Brenda G.

We ordered their club sandwich, tortilla soup, Turkey sandwich and chicken and dumpling. Everything was made to perfection. Their colossal carrot cake is addictive. Let's not forget the service today. It was fast, very friendly and the young man fixing our food in the back, got all the details right. We will definitely be back to this location.

Empty!

This used to be our favorite spot for sandwiches and tea, but I have to say, the place has steadily gone down. So today, not a single person came by to ask if we would like more tea...and there's no one in here at 7:44 PM. The sandwiches were mostly bread, so that was disappointing.

Spicy Southwest Chicken you choose 2 with chicken Cesar salad

It was my first time ever at McAllister's and I loved it! Ebony took my order and she gave me recommendations of what's good and what to try! I love loved my sandwich. It tasted so fresh and yummy! I had the spicy southwest chipotle sandwich and a Cesar salad! I loved everything.

Tired of all the greasy fast food and really wanted to get reacquainted with McAlister's Deli so We made the trip to the nearest one from us at SH 151 and 410 (Westover Hills). We went inside only a customer in front of us and took a look at the menu while we waited our turn. I ordered the pick 2 in which I chose McAlister's Club no honey mustard and tomatoes and my wife ordered the spicy turkey melt no tomatoes, a bit more expensive since I last remembered at $8.49 without the famous sweet tea. Our order came out fairly quickly, employees are friendly and accurately which I give four stars only due to the fact that all the tables available were dirty, otherwise might make another stop here in the future.

9 grain ciabatta with tri colored peppers, turkey, swiss, and their AMAZING honey mustard.

I was there early so not too many people. Ambiance was good, not too loud or anything. I also got a Mango Chamoy Slushie which was very good, best I ever had. Actually haven't had one before then. This review is actually for about 3 weeks ago. I'm writing it now since they've earned it.

They serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wings, dogs, desserts, and meals include either a side of tots, fries, cucumbers with chamoy and lucas, or corn in a cup. Other sides are available as well. This trip since we craved for burgers, ordered: Bistro burger- wonderfully seasoned and cooked, served on sourdough, with avocado, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo. One thing that should be added, the works, I felt it would be even better with the addition of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. I ordered the cucumbers sans chamoy and lucas. I appreciate simple veggies. Mexican burger- excellent! Juicy burger with cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, bacon and the works. The tater tots had a nice and crispy outer texture as it should. Overall- very good. Tasty, reasonable, clean, and great service. We'll have to make sure to come back sooner!

The bear aesthetic is so much fun!…read more My fiancé and I went to Black Bear Diner for a late night dinner about an hour and a half before closing. We were seated quickly and our orders were taken shortly after. Other than ourselves and one other couple in the midst of their meal, the place was empty with one messy table evidence someone else had just left. One staff member came out to bus said table and sweep the dining area while we waited, and the kitchen was bustling loudly while they prepared our order for what felt like a rather long time for a single order. If nothing else, it gave us ample time to check out the dessert and beverage menu. Side note, the menu printed on the inside of their Black Bear Diner 'Newspapers' was pretty cute. Our drinks came out well in advance, and the Hot Chocolate I ordered was pretty yummy. It was sweet and rich, and the thick whipped cream on top was just as tasty. When our order finally came out, it felt worth the wait. My Classic Eggs Benedict was simply amazing and massive in portion. The poached eggs and ham were cooked just right and topped two thick English muffin halves, and the abundant Hollandaise sauce had an excellent zesty kick to it. There was so much of it that I had enough to dip my Sweet Potato Fries in and have even more left over! My fiancé's omelette was pretty good as well, but we both agreed the Eggs Benedict was the better of the two. It didn't help that his Hash Browns were severely overcooked and not worth attempting to eat. I think we'd both like to return but at an earlier hour. Hopefully then our meal will come out faster and without anything burned. Still, it was a delicious enough experience to the extent that we're eager to try more from their menu.

The service can use improvement. We walked in on a Saturday and it wasn't very crowded. I spotted…read morea table in the back and since we had never been there before I spoke to the young lady on my left. She's actually for the gift shop but I didn't know that. Then she was going to lead us to the tables in the middle of the room but I asked her for a more intimate booth. She said the booth needed to be cleaned so we walked to the front to be out of the way. A guy in a purple shirt walked over to the girl and I could tell he was trying to be discreet but I could hear her say that we wanted a more private table. So we went and sat on the bench in front. After that, we were called. No one came to our table. Then some more people came in, they sat them behind us and after seating them, a server came up to ask what they would like to drink. My husband and I looked at each other and decided to leave. Just then an apologetic young man rushed up to the table but it was too late. We were not going to spend our money there. It's unfortunate.

As a white male who was raised the typical southern redneck ways, it seems out of my wheelhouse, it's not. I wish i could give it 5 stars but i just had to dock 1 star for few things. Not to say i won't go back, im just very strict on my ratings. But they can always be changed for next trip. Let's start with food. The omelette was lackluster, very pretty and proper. Yet, i had to pour seasoning on a few times. Still couldn't eat bit 1/4 before throwing in the towel. Literally. I had high expectations knowing what i know about the seasonings black folk put on their food (like i do when i cook too, learned from them) lol I added the sausage just in case the veggie omelette wouldn't have enough flavor kick, but to be honest the sausage was also under seasoned and lackluster. The potato's were EXACTLY what i had expected when i read it was black restaurant. That's the kinda thing i was looking forward too. Strong seasoned!! It was great. Almost like jerk flavored taters I've never been a grits eater, we were raised on meat and taters and eggs for breakfast. Never grits and I'm from the south. I've tried them at several places going to like them but never have, till now, it's still not something i would order, but they tasted pretty amazing. And love the way it was plated and presented. I didn't however like that they poured the grits like they did but all over my toast. I'm picky about foods touching cause I'm a weirdo... but grits and bread just don't match. At all. ALL THIS BEING SAID, BUT I COULDNT TRY THIER BEST DISHES. I cut sugar from my diet 6 months ago and can't bring myself to do it anymore. Even though 99% of their menu has sugar filled items. They all looked so amazing. I seen the other tables get their orders and all i could do was drool. If they ever figure out a way to make some of the bad azz breakfast desert dishes but sugar free, they would have a 4 hour wait daily and reservations only on weekends. In today's times everyone trying to eat much more healthy. Maha!!! How about a sugar free chicken and waffles. Maybe a chicken and waffles but sugar free syrup or honey, idk. I loved the pics on the walls and the suede seats!! And the gold plated spoons forks and knives. Staff was super friendly. There was zero prejudice eyes on me. I felt right at home like everyone else there. That made a big impression as that's not what happened to me when i went to a similar place in Houston. I felt like i was not suppose to be there. Needless to say, I'm going back next week and might even have my very first cheat day in 6 months and have some sugar foods. Gave 4 stars at the beginning, but now after I wrote the whole review. I realized they deserve the five star so I'm changing it right now after next meal there I'll make a decision take that star back or leave it.
