Outside.
Mel C.

We love McAlister's Deli for a quick lunch sandwich, wrap or salad, and sweet tea, of course! The bonus for me is discovering their delicious seasonal desserts and I love how McAlister's supports community organizations through "ChariTEA" days. The employees at the Schaumburg location are so nice and make great suggestions for your meal sides. It is an open, warm and inclusive place to dine. When it is nice outside, dining on the patio is lovely.

Front Counter
Binh L.

I LOVE LOVE sandwiches. I was happy to see McAlisters open up nearby. The menu option of different combinations for their Choose 2 is one of my favorites. Most places have three options to from but McAlisters also offers SPUDS and Shareables as option for your choose 2 combos. This is a counter order, select a table and they'll bring the food to your table. Drinks are all kept behind the counter to maintain the customer service ambiance. Employees are very FRIENDLY and check on guests from time to time for any refills or anything else the guest needs. The store is well light inside which I truly enjoy. It makes you feel happy. They offer booth, low tops, communal high top, and 4-top nooks for a little privacy seating options. Their kids menu are $3.49 which includes a entree, side, ad mini chocolate chip cookie. their food overall was fresh, especially their salad. I am picky when restaurants serve mixed greens and there are wilted green leaves in my salad. This was not the case. Each leaf was perfect and fresh. I will be back and recommend this place.

Grilled Chicken Club

I had a grilled chicken club sandwich to go and it definitely hit the spot. The spring mix was refreshing and the McAlister honey really brought the sandwich together. They were able to accommodate me by processing my pick up order earlier than expected. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend.

French dip with a side of potato salad
David M.

I'm excited to have a McAlister's finally. We went there opening day. When we first walked in, we were greeted with a very friendly welcome. I ordered the French dip with potato salad. The French dip was ok. The meat was a little rough. I think it was just because it was the first day. I am looking forward to trying the other sandwiches. Estimate spending about $12 for everything out the door. The potato salad was great. It was tasted just like Mom makes. The restaurant gives you the old school deli feeling, which makes me want to eat there just for that.

Choose 2!
Mark N.

It was a rainy Saturday in Schaumburg- and I just felt like a little bit of comfort food would be the ticket. I decided to hit up McAlister's Deli in Schaumburg - they' recently opened, and they appeared to have a menu that reminded me (somewhat oddly) of Panera. I was immediately greeted on entry - very LGBTQ friendly, I might add - a plus- and checked out the menu. I chose the Choose 2 - and got 1/2 of an Italian sub, and a Chicken Bacon Ranch spud along with an unsweetened iced tea. I took my number, found a table, tagged my table with said number, and waited a few minutes for my upcoming meal! Oh, and it came. the 1/2 Italian was - wow- a bit smaller than expected. I could deal with it. The spud? DAMN. It was huge. HUGE. And OH so tasty! The Italian was pretty good too- but to be fair it was gone really fast, as it was bite-sized (!). Ok- my first time here. Would I come again? Actually, yes. There are plenty of soup options (which I scoped out given our rather chilly winters here) - and wow. Yup. I'll be back. Check it out and tell me if you think the same?

I did the choose 2 meal so I got half of a blt -a sandwich and chipotle chicken & bacon spud. The bacon was freshly cooked but wished they've added more avocado. The spud was good. The staff's service impressed me; they went around and checked in with the customers frequently.

Garden Fresh Turkey Sandwich & Pecanberry Salad.

Went to this location for the first time (Feb. 5, 2024). Ordered to go. Got a sandwich & a salad. Everything is very tasty and well made! All employees were super friendly and helpful. I will for sure be back and update more!

Great food and the best part is the sweet tea. The service can be a hit or miss but I'm always nice.

My husband and his dad went here for lunch recently and they both won't stop raving about it. They…read moresplit the BBQ Pulled Pork Pierogis, The Boss and Beef Au Vino, with this last one being their favorite. They were impressed with the flavor and large portions, as well as the helpful staff and decent prices. This is a local deli/bakery with tons of sandwiches, salads and baked goods, along with frozen pierogis, ice cream and other takeaway items in a little market. Unfortunately this isn't really a place I can find a pescatarian, gluten free meal, so unlikely I'll be able to try it myself. Hope you can! It sounds awesome.

Stopped in for pączki on Fat Tuesday and it was my first time here! The smell when you walk in is…read moredefinitely noticeable--very much that fresh, oily fried dough scent--but the display cases looked great and everything was nicely presented. There's seating inside, and I appreciated that the tables weren't packed too closely together. It felt comfortable and not overcrowded. They had about 7-8 varieties of pączki to choose from. I grabbed a dozen rose (a classic go-to for me) and also tried the limoncello and the caramel bacon. The limoncello was really good--the custard lemon filling inside was flavorful and smooth. The rose was delicious, just how it should be. The caramel bacon was something new for me; it had that savory-sweet combo that's definitely a specific taste. Not for everyone, but interesting to try! Overall, a solid spot to grab pączki for Fat Tuesday.
