There are several things that I really enjoy about the deli. You order us a counter and they bring the food out to you. It's a pretty efficient process. The tea is served in a huge plastic cup. I really enjoy their tea. My favorite item is a veggie spud. it has a nice variety vegetables that is brought together with the cheese sauce. The place is nice and bright. Looks clean and usually not an issue finding a clean table to sit at. I often come here just for the tea. I'll definitely be back. read more

The quality of food has gone all the way down. I try to give places a second chance when things aren't great because everyone has a bad day. Last month, I order a strawberry lemonade but it was just pink water. Absolutely disgusting. Today, l tried an Arnold Palmer (tea/lemonade). It was, again, absolutely disgusting. The food was tolerable but not great, both times. I will no longer be patronizing this place. I got food poisoning from here. Pretty sure it was from the tea that tasted like used mop water. read more

McAlister's Deli - Nasty behind Arnold Palmer. - Delis Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Got a baked potato for take home at dinner. It was dry and hard. Might have been ok at lunch but probably sat in a warmer all day getting harder and dryer. Chili was bad, honestly had better out of a can. McAlister's never fails to disappoint. Do better. or just close down. Stop selling food that is obviously bad just to save your numbers. I will not be back and will post on the town's Facebook how terrible you are. read more

Great Sandwiches for the price! Fast ordering usually and the food is brought to you. Usually always a place to sit and fun local decorations. read more

Love McAlister's! Especially the tea. The Spartanburg location is clean and most staff is friendly . They offer curbside , or inside pickup as well as you can order right from your table on your app if you rather skip the line at the counter. My favorite combo is the mcalisters club and a cup of cheddar broccoli soup. The hubby likes to get a choose 2 usually with a potato option and a soup or sometimes a sandwich. read more

We love this place for the price and quality. Fresh made sandwiches and so many selections.

This location served us a Kids Turkey Toastie on moldy bread. Unfortunately, we didn't realize until most of the sandwich was finished. We won't be back. read more

Third time now they are out of all baked potatoes. It is only 5:30pm - there a total of 6 cars in their lot! On a football friday! They have taken the cranberry club off the menu & only parts of it are ever available. I am DONE! read more

Ordered door dash from here twice while I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express for business. Top notch both times. I suggest ordering anything with their sherry shallot vinaigrette. I had the Savannah Chicken salad one night and a a coworker' suggesting a salad with a scoop of their "famous" chicken salad. Being a Yankee I've never heard of this place but will definitely stop again when passing through. read more

My husband and I continue to be amazed by the delicious sandwiches this deli produces. We haven't been to the location yet, but all 3 deliveries we have gotten were wrapped neatly and handled with care by the employees. It's fresh and the flavor is on point. read more

Love the food! If you're dining in, i'd recommend a jacket as it is always cold inside. My favorite to get is the nachos and a loaded potato. Service is fast. read more

The door says they close at 9....the door lied!!!!!!! They're lazy and will not serve you if you get there 15 minutes before closing! They need to change the sign to say closed at 8:45! I bet I won't be back!!!!! read more

McAlister's Deli - An example of the lies they tell!!!!! - Delis Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

So. Several days ago, I ordered a French dip for immediate consumption, and the king club for eating the next day. I had it delivered via Hub City Delivery. On the side with the French dip, I had macaroni and cheese. On the side with the club, I had the potato salad. Let's go in order, as I tend to like to do. That French dip was absolutely delicious. The portion was generous, the beef was tender, and it was one of the best dips I've ever had that I haven't made myself. Seriously. My one complaint? Stingy with the au jus, and the cheese was strangely flavorless. But, for the au jus: Larger container, guys. That's a big sammich (yes, I say and spell it that way ... it's a childhood thing). More au jus is definitely called for. The mac was ... it tasted like mass-market, mass-supplier, mac. I think I've had better from Stouffer's, and that's not a compliment. Gordon Food Service isn't in SC, but I'm sure there's a version of it somewhere here, and that mac was bland, bland, bland. I tossed it after a few bites. Don't serve something that isn't good, folks, and that stuff was pretty flavorless (not good, and sides DO matter). Yes, I make my own mac. I'm not dissing them without being able to do better myself. The king club ... this was also absolutely delicious. My GOD, what a sammich!! I can't say enough good about it. It was HUGE. And it was so damned tasty that I could (try to) eat that (enormous) thing every day (and fail). Fresh, fresh, fresh. Every single thing on that club was spot on, and the flavors all worked together. Just a stunning club sammich. The potato salad ... my god that stuff was AWFUL. I don't know who decided it's a good idea to take a sweet potato salad and drown it in a mountain (and I do mean a mountain) of smoked paprika powder, but that person needs to find a new career. I can't think of a worse side I've ever had. I love potato salad. I love mine with sweet pickle relish (it tasted like that was in this stuff), Miracle Whip, and some regular mayo for balance, plus some mustard and onion, and some chopped, hard-boiled eggs. And though this stuff didn't hit my ideal, it might have come relatively close without that bloody terrible mountain of smoked paprika. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING? You don't mix a sweet potato salad with smoked paprika. That crap was seriously INEDIBLE. Two bites ... trash. Yes, I make my own potato salad. I'm not dissing them without being able to do better myself. Why four stars and not five? Their sides really sucked. Really. Just terrible. Will I order from this place again? YES. Am I afraid of the side options? YES. read more

I've been back 3-4 times since, and all were positive experiences. They have new management I think? Everything seemed to hum along just fine and the staff were friendly and engaged. The food is, and always has been, consistently tasty and fresh. read more

I dined in for dinner. Nice looking restaurant on inside. Good customer service assistance with picking which kind of spud. Priced great with $10 for a combo. Food came out quick and was good. Im pleased and will return. Great value pick. read more

They need to have someone cleaning tables their were 10 tables filled with peoples garbage and nowhere to sit

Like I have said about another McAllister's location. They have food and it is not bad. It is not great either. It is not cheap or expensive. You have to eat and this is a place you can do that. They have pretty good tea. read more

The food is really pretty much what you would expect but the service is what will keep you coming back. The customer service is outstanding. The sweet tea is not really what we "southerners" would call sweet and the sandwiches are no better or worse than any other "deli" but if Reginald or one of the other wonderful employees can't put a smile on your face then you should have eaten at home. read more

The manager Brittney is, for lack of a better term, incredible. She is definitely one who possesses a great understanding of customer service and empathy. I've seen her ability to problem-solve, and I truly believe that Mcalister's is lucky to have her as a leader. Also, food was very yummy. read more

We used to eat at McAlister's all the time, and the overall quality has definitely experienced a decline. The woman behind the register looked like she was pouting the whole time we were there, even when she delivered our food to our table. Our food was sub-par and missing critical elements (mayonnaise on a BLT, dressing on a salad), which leads me to believe the kitchen isn't even paying attention. My soup (which was bland) was also served in a dirty bowl, which left my plate that it was served on dirty as well. Not to mention the fact that they've removed the standard BLT from the menu and replaced it with a BLT + A, which adds a "premium menu item" cost if you order it as part of the "Choose Two," even if you ask for no avocado. Between the staff, the cost, and the food quality, we probably won't return. read more

orders are generally wrong/missing items. quality has gone downhill in the past few years as well. i keep trying to remind myself not to go there or put in an online order because it's just really not worth the hassle. read more

Called for takeout and staff very friendly and spoke as I walked in to pick up. Food was awesome.

I went into McAlister's today and ordered three sandwiches, the cashier wasn't rude but I did notice that he was on his phone on social media which was not professional. Out of the three sandwiches that I ordered two of them were just unbearable to eat, they did not look appetizing and the spinach that they used on it was out of date. I am very disappointed in McAlister's and their staff for this poor job and here are pictures of the sandwiches. read more

A TERRIBLE experience. Just waited 35 minutes for a to go order. Dining room was practically empty, so that couldn't be an excuse. Got my food (finally) and everything is cold and thrown together. My veggie spud had a handful of raw veggies thrown on top of a cold hard spud. We will never be back. read more

Very good deli type food. Have tried a different sandwich on each have visit and have not been disappointed. Would equate them to a Panera type restaurant but with a larger menu of sandwiches. . Average prices on sandwiches runs from $6.39 to $8.99. They offer subs, deli sandwiches, clubs, salads, soups, wraps, grilled sandwiches, fancy baked potatoes and a few desserts. Nice clean atmosphere too. Tired of burgers? Check this place out. read more

Food is good. Consistent. Young man very good at customer service! Stuart was helpful, courteous and pleasant. He was also the only one working when we came is and kept busy with taking and processing orders, cleaning tables and refilling cups, etc. Very impressive employee. read more

What a disappointment today! We ordered two club sandwiches with pickles for delivery through DoorDash. We've ordered sandwiches from them twice previously and been happy with them so, after looking through the menus for several restaurants, we decided to go with "a sure thing" and placed an order with them. I was so surprised to get such a sloppily put-together sandwich in my life. The pickles were missing, the bread was old and falling apart, the bread wasn't toasted, the lettuce was wilted. One of the toothpicks was broken and half of it was embedded in the bread. Glad it didn't end up stuck in my throat! From now on I will know that it's not a "sure-thing" when I order from these folks. Very disappointing since I've been bragging about them to everyone lately. Whoever made these sandwiches should be fired. I know they were probably busy since this order was placed on a Sunday but they should take a little more pride in their work than what was displayed today. Sayonara McAlister's Deli. We also paid $27 plus for this meal (Part of it was for the delivery driver-who did a commendable job for sure). Don't get much for your money anymore if this is what you get! read more

Don't order food to go!! I ordered a taco salad to go and when I returned to my hotel room I discovered all they gave me was the chili, salad greens, the smallest portion of guacamole I've ever seen and only 4 chips! No cheese, tomatoes, sour cream or onions as indicated on the menu and 4 chips is not nearly enough for a taco salad. I was furious that I had spent almost $15.00 for this meal and ended up not eating it because it was missing everything. I travel to the area frequently and I'll never go back. read more

Once again McAlister's disappoints with their overpriced undercrafted menu. Ordered a bowl of soup which should have been good considering it wasn't scratch made in house but sadly had the telltale scorched flavor of having been kept in a holding kettle for hours. Server was asked to bring crackers with soup which resulted in 2 crushed packets being tossed upon the table. Should have went to Jason's Deli or Panera where they actually are interested in preparing & serving good deli food. read more

McAlister's I would call an upscale deli. It is located in a large shopping center in it's own building. Plenty of parking and seating. You step up to the counter, order and pay for your meal and then a waitress brings your food to your table. They have several types of sandwhices, soupes and salads. My favorite is the MAX STUFFED BAKED POTATO, it is the largest spud I've ever seen. It is then stuffed with chili, onions and cheese. It is a MEAL in itself. read more

SpudMax was awesome, not to mention the famous tea? Attitudes from the employees went above and beyond, as always.

We stopped in to grab a quick sand which on our way home from spring break. The staff was so slow at this place we "lost " an hour of travel time waiting ou our food. Don't waste your time on this place. Firehouse subs is 100' away. read more

My wife and I went here for lunch Sunday. I ordered the southwest chicken sandwich and she ordered pick 2 salad and club. The lettuce is like bad bag letttuce. And hers had huge pieces of browned and soft lettuce. My sandwich was as good as vending machine quality. For the money spent there are TONS of other much better choices. We won't be back read more

Usually one of my favorite lunch spots, but.....today I ordered the salad with grilled chicken and it was not good. Just lettuce with lots of hard "stalks," cold chicken, and worse of all - a piece of cold uncooked bacon on top. Honestly, Wendy's salads are better than this one! Usually eat sandwiches here and LOVE the potato salad, so....guess I'll just abstain from ordering salad. read more

Disgusting, microwaved, overpriced food. Pretty sure there were chunks of stewed dog food in my chili. Semi-courteous staff and restaurant was clean, though. read more

Stood for about 10 minutes waiting for service. Even knocked on the counter and no one came to the counter but you could hear them. Right when we walked out someone came to the counter. What makes this experience worse is that when you walk in you can hear the system say "dooropen". I guess they didn't want our money. read more

We were traveling on I-26 North and were looking for a place for lunch. We found McCallister's on Yelp and remembered stopping there previously. Parking lot was full but there was no line inside. Our order was completed in minutes. The food was delivered on about 10 minutes. Food was excellent and service great. Our drinks were refilled promptly. Overall a great experience. Would recommend it anytime. read more
