    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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!

The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

And who wouldn't love a free ice cream cone while you wait, or after your meal? I thought it was unique that in addition to vanilla there was a banana cream flavor. The gals at the counter shared they try to switch it up. I loved the size of the tender meals offered and generous portion that stretched to two meals for me. Interesting, the cole slaw was the highlight of my meal, with the fresh flavor and complimented the tenders and crinkle fries well. My lime, coconut dirty soda tasted like vacation in a diet coke and I wanted to add a shot of rum to it! Friendly service and a short wait time were much appreciated, as I ordered my food to go. My husband's hot Nashville chicken sandwich was tasty and just the right amount of heat for him (but too hot for me)!

It says authentic Italian deli all over it. Not in a pretend way, but in an authentic way. The service is warm and welcoming. The list of sandwiches is abundant.

I smell it through the bag and couldn't wait until I got home to taste it. With the first bite, I was absolutely blown away. There is no comparison because the flavors out performs every sandwich shop in the area. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and I know I will certainly return again and again. What a wonderful gem!

We got in as someone was leaving. We asked how to access the building, and the cashier was really dismissive of our request. We asked for sandwich recs and the cashier was really reluctant and standoffish. After I got my sandwich, my wife said "thank you" and the cashier had zero response. It really must be hard times in the restaurant business to resort to getting help like this. I cannot recommend this play and I will not be going back. Maybe the original shop in the city is better. The sandwich itself won't be reviewed bc of the bitterness and rush in which I came to write this review.
