We had Mexican food on our minds and when walking in we were looking at the Menu for McAllister's and decided on one of their potatoes. We dined in and were impressed with how clean the place was. Music but not loud and obnoxious. We were so impressed that we have gone back two more times for take out. Every one working answered any questions we had. Close to ASU and US. read more

Did a quick off-site lunch meeting today. We were planning on going to another place but they were closed so we hit up McAlister's that was nearby and open. This is an order at the counter and find a table deli. After ordering we had our food rather quickly. Service was good and done with a smile...always get points for that with me. Lots of seating inside and very clean. I ordered the Spicy Chipotle Ranch Turkey Bacon sandwich with avocado and a side of Mac & cheese. The sandwich was delicious but the mac was kinda blah. On a scale of 1 - 10, it was good, not my first choice to eat at but a solid option. read more

Incredible club sandwich! Stacked high with meats, it even included a tangy honey mustard sauce. Can't go wrong with this place for lunch or dinner! read more

I frequent this Deli occasionally. The corned beef sandwich brings me back to my midwestern roots. They are so good. Surprisingly the potato salad is top tier sprinkled with paprika for an added delight. The famous sweet tea is very good also. I always experience good customer interactions when I'm at McAlister's Deli and enjoy dining in. They have an awesome rewards program too. If you've never been to McAlister's add it to your places to try! read more

Placed a delivery order on McAlister's website. I requested it to be delivered at 12PM. The email said the driver is 1 minute away. 20 minutes later still no delivery. Then the email I received said this was delivered. I called McAlister and the lady I spoke to said to call the help # since the delivery was through door dash. I said OK what is that number. 623-290-8200. The number was not accepting calls at this time. So, I looked up the number on their website and put in a complaint. Since this location is privately owned only this store can get be a refund. So, I called this located again and I talk to a different lady. She said one moment while I can see what I can do. She gets back on the line and says my manager will call you back at 1 1:30PM -2PM today. It was 12:30PM at this time. I said, I can't just come in and get another order, willing to pick it up. She said that the manager is busy. This is lunch time, and they are slammed and unable to give us their full attention. They don't have time for this right now. I was shocked. I already paid for this and put my order in. I was calm and nice to them on the phone. I was not screaming or yelling. This is so unprofessional. I still have not received a call from the manager on top of this. I ended up calling up Door Dash and they were helpful and were able to contact the driver who was lost and since food was already cold, he brought food back to the restaurant. The door Dash rep. explained that he called the wrong number to try to let me know. The door dash rep. said they will call McAlister's and get our order redelivered however the McAlister's store told the DoorDash rep that they already gave me a refund. Well, I was not told this. I am not sure why McAlister's did not have time for me or even to tell me that I was refund. The food is great, but the management and customer service are not good. read more

If I'm gonna fork out $12-17 a sandwich here, at least make it edible. Sandwiches were dry, no seasonings, and tasted old. My kid Mae's better sandwiches at home. I ordered to go salad, which they put in a paper container. Seriously? Why did I even bother coming here. read more

The sandwiches were very good. The clerks had answers for all our questions. The lemon blueberry cookies were delicious. The next time I'm the area I will visit again. read more

The food is fine; about what you'd expect from a mid-range deli. Problem is at this location it's incredibly awkward to order said food. Don't ever give your real name for your order if you want to visit more than once. The embarrassment starts at the door, when they yell your name across the restaurant as soon as you walk in. Then they'll loudly make assumptions about your order and talk about you right in front of you. "Alex likes his drink this way" or "Alex doesn't like that with his order". You'll hear your name at the end of every sentence while you order. Then, if you're not thoroughly red in the face already, they'll continue to talk about you loudly while you wait. They want you to know how hard they're working for you I guess. Finally, when you go up to get your order, it'll feel like your creepy spinster aunt grabbing your cheek to tell you how cute ya are and she could just eat you right up. And if you're really lucky, they might overcare. On a recent visit, the topic of the drink I wasn't ordering was raised by the same staff member no less than four times. I was there maybe eight minutes. So that's once every two minutes I'm being asked about a thing I'm not ordering. Would have been really fun were I eating in. I get being friendly, but this is so over the top as to be awkward and uncomfortable. It's a deli, not a nightclub; I don't expect nor want to be fawned over. I don't need to be made to feel at home (and sure as hell don't want to feel like I'm at my creepy aunt's place). I just want a damn sandwich. I'm not going back. read more

I've eaten at McAlister's in the past (out of state location) and had a not so pleasant experience. I had lunch here a few weeks ago and I'm so glad to have given them another chance! It was a Sunday during lunch time and there was a group of 4 ahead of us. There was only one cashier so we waited a little more then 5 minutes to order. There was also 4 people in my party. We ordered one potato soup, one chicken tortilla soup, one broccoli cheddar soup, one big potato, one wrap, one cookie, a bag of chips, three drinks, and two sandwiches. The total was about $80. The cashier was the only one manning the front and I saw took cooks in the back. The line was only getting longer but she kept her composure. She was SO nice and friendly. She was also very patient. She gave us our number, our drinks, and our cookie. We sat down and waited for our food. The line was now longer, she was taking orders, and we also saw her running around dropping off orders. We waited about 10 minutes and she brought us our food. The food was really good and I really enjoyed the soups, they were nice and hot. The sandwiches were also a hit! They tasted fresh and had a lot of meat. The worker checked up on us a couple of times and I even saw her going around asking people if they needed anything and picking up dishes / tidying tables. Overall, I would so come back for more food. 5 stars for the food and 5 stars for the exceptional service we received from the worker that day! She is the best!! read more

I stayed at a nearby hotel and decided to try this place. The folks who work there are amazing, and the food is yummy!

We were completely unsure of what we were going to find in a deli in a strip mall, but we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. Out running errands with my aunt, we were ready for lunch. We thought we'd give McAlister's a try. Yum! I headed to the counter while she grabbed a table. The counter help was friendly and efficient. We ordered a Ruben sandwich (!) and the Spud Max. Wow! The sandwich was loaded with corned beef- by all reports very tasty. The potato was epic. Huge and loaded with goodness. Needless to say, we both took boxes home. Well done McAlister's! read more

Delicious Sandwiches and More This was my first visit to McAlister's and it has now become one of my favorite sandwich shops. On this visit I ordered the Club and a side of potato salad. My sandwich was loaded with moist lean turkey,ham, bacon, cheddar, Swiss, and the best tasting honey mustard. As much as I enjoyed my sandwich I really enjoyed the potato salad, with chunky potatoes, creamy mustard and egg dressing, ot was the best potato salad I've had in a very long time. I definitely would recommend friends and family to give McAlister a try..... you won't be disappointed. read more

McAlister's, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.... Great service, great food, great space.. and vegetarian chili?! Waaa?! This is one of the best sandwich shops I have ever tried. The selection of sandwiches come loaded with the freshest foods and breads. You will not go hungry here! Besides the sandwiches they have salads, soups, deserts and "spuds!" Yep, you read that. Loaded potatoes of every kind. They also offer a deal called a "choose 2". Exactly how it sounds. Half of anything they have on the menu and add another option to that. It is a great deal. If you want a hearty sandwhich... or salad...or soup or spud... or a great desert.. go to McAlisters! read more

This was my 1st time at a McAlisters and I was McWowed! I had the New Southwest Steak spud with mac & cheese, cucumber salad, broccoli c heddar soup, large signature ice tea & last but not least NY double chocolate cheesecake. The spud entree was top five I ever had with alot of succulent steak slices, cheddar cheese sour scream and the potato was huge-enough food for a whole day and only $12 is a great value. The mac & cheese was perfect-thick, creamy & delicious. The broccoli cheddar soup was also a top five ever item for me! The NY double choc. cheesecake was rich, dense and super delicious. It satisfied my regular chocolate craving. Service by Manager Hector, counter staff Tara & Ryan was top 1% at any restaurant I've patronized. This restaurant is run extremely well! The dining area is large, very clean with a pleasant upbeat ambience. This is the best deli restaurant I've been to in Tempe and top five in Arizona. read more

The bbq chicken sandwich had tender chicken that was perfectly sliced thin. Bbq sauce was light. Baked potato was light and fluffy inside. Perfectly cooked. Menu had lots of tempting choices. Ordered via app, smooth process, customizing was easy, ready on time. A+ read more

$11.49 for a baked potato with a tiny amount of meat and toppings. At a fast food joint. Simply outrageous.

Not honoring the 99 Cent Kids Special - Overcharged - We will not be back. My wife and I took our (4) grandchildren here on 5/25/22 at app. 1:30 PM. Our daughter told us that kids meals are 99 cents with adult meals. The sign in their lobby advertised the same special (see below). Adults in our group ordered a salad and a Choose 2, plus (4) kids meals. Staff gave me a total of $54.35. I said there must be some mistake. She said, "No, we stopped the 99 cent kids special earlier this year". I was in shock and paid up. A few days later, I called and asked for a manager. I think her name was Alisa. I explained that this was an advertised special per a large sign in her lobby. She said she understood, but I would need to speak with the General Manager. She took my name and number. As of today, 6/1/22 he has not called! read more

Easy ordering with mobile ap. My food was ready for pickup when I arrived. Nice sandwich. Good customer service.

I've driven by McAlister's Deli so much that I just had to add it to my list of places to try. This location was very clean, bright, and inviting. I checked out the menu before arriving and settled on the King Club sandwich. Very tasty! I also got to try the chicken cordon bleu and it was also really good! The wait for our food was only a few minutes and everything tasted fresh! The staff seemed a bit uninterested or not present when taking our order, assuming it had been a long day, but that was the only downfall. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place and I look forward to trying other menu items. read more

Have lived down the street for forever and finally tried it for the first time. Not impressed! Got the pick 2. The half Reuben had great flavor but barely had any meat or kraut. The half Spud Max with added avocado, broccoli and jalapeños was burnt, tough and contained a piece of foil in it. They charged me $.75 just for the avocado and I barely got a bite! I showed up 5 min before my scheduled pickup and they had it done and sitting on a shelf. Was barely warm so not sure how long it was sitting for. I only live 7 min away and was cold and rubbery by the time I got home. Not worth $18!!! read more

I went for free tea day and had a half soup with half sandwich. My meal was about $10 after tax. The tea was great and my meal was delicious. All of the flavors went well together. The baked potato soup had some cheese and free onions in it. I just wish they had the potato and kale soup I have seen other McAlister's Delis offer. The restaurant was busy but the staff kept everything flowing. I really enjoyed my experience and will be back. read more

Had a meeting at McAlisters Deli. Only ordered a coffee but I have to admit it was not that good. It was in a strip foam cup (not even a mug). It was very diner-like. The atmosphere is Not very cozy. Very chain-like. Will have to come back and try the food, but I can't say it's good place to have a meeting. read more

McAlister's is off the chain, straight up unleashed yummy goodness that makes me want to slap my momma and ask her why she can't assemble a sandwich this good! I don't know why there aren't more of them in this town but there should be. It's right up there with Jason's Deli or Chompies, but without the excessive pricing you get at some of these other places where putting the word 'authentic' in front of something is just an excuse for a solid price hike. read more

McAlister's Deli - Tomato and Cucumber salad and Orange Cranberry Club - Delis Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

First time coming here. We only came to get a chicken noodle soup for our picky little daughter but they didn't have that specific soup on the menu so instead we got her a kids meal, which ended up being a terrific bargain. We got a french bread pizza, cheetos, a cookie, chocolate milk, stickers and a coloring book, all for under $5. We'll have to try something ourselves next time so we can update this review with a better perspective but a 3 year old gives them 5 stars if they counts for anything. The place was clean and they were enforcing social distancing with their tables and the worker was really friendly. Great vibe at the restaurant, made me feel very welcomed. We will be coming back soon. read more

We got lunch delivered from McAlister's and the food was really good. I like their "choose 2" option where you can order a combo of 2 of either a half sandwich, salad, spud, or soup. I got the broccoli cheddar soup (great flavor but a LOT of cheese on top. Wish it had more broccoli) and the spud max. I got my spud max without onions or sour cream and it was delicious. And for a "half" spud it was huge. The only thing I would not recommend is getting your food delivered. They charge you a $3.99 delivery fee but they hide another $4 in fees in the "taxes and fees" line too so you end up paying $8 plus tip to get your food delivered. If you're able to pick up your order I highly recommend getting food here but don't get it delivered. They did outsource our delivery to Door Dash on our order, which is fine but I don't like the shady hiding of the additional $4 fee on top of the $3.99 delivery fee. read more

Food was decent but not worth what you pay for it. $13 bucks for a little 6 inch(approx) sandwich ain't it for a subway clone. Go to subway. Same quality with a bigger sandwich and cheaper prices. read more

I've ordered sandwiches from this place for a long time. When I've ordered online sometimes they get them right and sometimes they don't. Haven't ordered in awhile and was surprised how much they have gone up in price, And now it's a mandatory 5 dollar tip. 45 dollars for 3 sandwiches. I'm sorry McAllister's but this will be my LAST order. read more

Went here for lunch last week. I got the turkey club which was fresh and good! Could have had an extra slice of meat but it was still good. The cucumber salad was not exactly why I was expecting so I didn't eat mine. Not their fault I just was not expecting it to be in so much liquid. The staff were knowledgeable and nice. No wait and our sandwiches came out pretty quick. The place has GREAT A/C. Parking lot was busy but big. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because I think the place needs a deep cleaning. It was not dirty by any means but because of the age of it, It needs maybe a little more TLC. I would go back again and I would recommend it. read more
