Stumbled upon this little gem when I was scrolling through door dash with my neighbor one day. Everything is so fresh and delicious, I was so surprised. I always get the spicy turkey melt, it hits the spot every time. I also recommend their cinnamon cheesecake, potato soup, & the blueberry lemonade. Everything on the menu is so good! I find myself craving this place quite often. My neighbors and coworkers are now hooked too. read more

I ordered a catering order on-line. When I went to pick it up I was a disappointed in the amount of food for the price. I mentioned it to the staff, who informed the manager. The manager looked at chuckled a little and agreed. They totally made it right and the food was wonderful! The staff were great and friendly as well. Totally using them for catering in the future. read more

Bacon at this place is amazing. I would recommend any sandwich with bacon. I didn't try the Spud but it looked tasty. Not the best option if you want more of meat though. The 2 halfs for 8.99 is a good offer, although watch out for the premium sandwiches because that will cost you 1.5 extra. All in all really fresh and tasty. read more

It's rare I go to a place and get so impressed that the m making a plan to go back. This place does everything right. From a clean appearance. To treating you properly. When we told the girl it was our first time her response was oh good that's my favorite customer. Then she went on to help us order. We both loved our food. Mine was a club sandwich which has to be one of the best I ever had. The bread was toasted perfectly. It tasted as if who ever made the sandwich did it with percussion with love. And they checked in the food not set it and forget it. And the. Came back again to bring refills. Everything was perfect. Personally I'm not a sandwich guy but this was good enough to change that. Why go to subway when you can go here? Maybe if your in a rush this place might take a little longer. Please give this place a try read more

McAlister's Deli - Sweet chipotle chicken sandwich... excellent! - Delis Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sandwiches were flavorful and as described on menu. Portion of meat on sandwich appropriate. Soups were creamy and thick. Clean environment. Nice place for lunch. read more

Great ambiance with a fun atmosphere. We would go back for a drink or sweets (not tiramsu-tasted like chocolate cake). The food was sadly disappointing. We had heard so many great things. read more

I just had a Postmates delivery and the chicken in my sandwich was literally like biting into rubber. Absolutely disgusting. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Great service and terrific sandwiches. Take out easy. Do your part to support your local restaurants during this time. They need our support. read more

Ugh. Why do their cookies have 40+ ingredients and artificial flavors? Read the ingredients on the "heath cookie." Lol. Talk about a gut bomb! Also they're made in Ohio. Maybe support a local deli not a national chain! read more

ABOUT TIME!!! This was my favorite place to eat when visiting friends in Mississippi. I've waited 14 years for this place to come to Arizona!!! LVE their soups and sandwiches! Very clean place with friendly staff. Especially Q!! She is our favorite and such a sweetheart!! People complain about it being expensive but their prices are on par with Panera Bread, Cafe Zupas, Flancer's, Kneaders, etc. and the food here is WAY BETTER!! If you want Village Inn prices and quality, eat at Village Inn. If you want fresh, mouth watering, high end quality, you're at the right place! read more

I came here on a Sunday night, and the cashiers were talking among themselves while I was waiting at the counter ready to order. The black guy with an afro needs a haircut or wear a hair net. And the whole place stinks of garbage. The owner needs to take control of the place and make sure employees are serving the employees. I am not coming here to waste $10 on a sandwich when I can go across the street. WASTE OF MONEY!! read more

Don't order to go. Don't order extra bacon. Don't order baked potatoes. The potato was yellow and waxy on the inside and not white and fluffy. I removed two servings of meat from my potato order ( price is not less for doing this) and added extra bacon (there is a charge for that) and bacon plus extra bacon apparently equals one teaspoon. Not happy, not returning. read more

First time here and I was thoroughly impressed. Lots of good options on the menu for everyone to choose from. We will be back!

Exceptional service and the food is great every time! If you go in, the workers are always really nice and when i ordered delivery they even arrived early! Love it read more

Groupon cash back caused me to try this place and I'm glad I did I had the combo with the corned beef and the roast beef Spud and both were Yummylicious I was skeptical being from NY/NJ area spoiled with true Jewish corned beef but this was like being back home and the Spud was big and tasty for a half order This place is a definite go to for great food and outstanding customer service read more

You can't ever go wrong with the reuben and the sweet tea. I don't think I'm ever NOT in the mood for one of those.

Delicious! Tried for the first time and got the pick two, I chose the orange cranberry club and the country potato soup! Phenomenal!! The tea is amazing too. Definitely a must try, there are many options to try rather you want a hot sandwich, deli, soup, salad. They have it all! Will come again! read more

I stop in here about every week for lunch and the staff is always so quick to get the food out. The sandwiches are always delicious and their sweet tea is superior to everyone else's in taste and in size. read more

Very clean, quality ingredients, good food, quick service and good value. I'll be coming back for sure.

We stopped in here to grab lunch and were happily surprised at what a variety they had on the menu. So much so, it took us a while to decide. Love that they have a pick two, so we could at least pick more than one menu item. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly as we tried to decide what to order. The special Pecanberry Salad was fantastic with the strawberry dressing. The other food was delicious and perfect portion sizes. I am looking forward to coming back to try other menu items. Bonus that they deliver and cater. read more

food is overpriced, not very good, and they threw away our food when we went to the bathroom... won't go back.

Had food delivered. Had a side of potato soup that was good had the king club which was excellent and I am very particular about club sandwiches. Highly recommend them. read more

My family moved here from Indy a few years ago and this was our favorite casual restaurant. I was so happy when they opened up at ASU, as its only 15 min from my house. The best tea around (and I love tea)! They have a great selection of food, from sandwiches, soups, potatoes and salads. Portions are generous and entrees always taste fresh and flavorful! I love a fresh salad, and they have fantastic ones! Their grilled chicken salad is probably my favorite, with the savory sherry shallot dressing. Plus, one of the best things going for this place is the staff. Every single staff member is awesome. So friendly. Just a tip, download the app to get rewards like a free tea. They used to have tea punch cards and stuff, but now you have to download the app to get things like that (I do like the punchcards better, with a family of 4, the punchcards got us rewards faster). read more

Although the food here is great- I stopped in for carry out again, and Donald.... name on my receipt anyway, was SO RUDE... for no reason. Attitude was bad, I felt like i was bothering him with my order- there's also no one here. It's not busy at all. With attitudes like his, I'm not surprised. I won't be returning. read more

Wife is from Texas and she Loves this place, she was so excited to go to the one they had opened in Tempe. After placing our order we waited for about 20 min the manager comes by and says he is filling an order for 40 sandwiches and it will be awhile before we would get our order. I walked back over to the register and explained they should of said that before we placed our order so we could decide to wait or leave. Manager seemed more concerned with completing the 40 sandwiches than the customers in the store . Another group was also upset and they got up and left. They kept taking order for customers and were not relaying this information as I was trying to get my refund to leave. I was not the only customer that left this afternoon. What a fail, will not come back here. read more

The rudest two female workers in Tempe, very rude to customers they acted like they had a late Friday night and working Saturday was a struggle for them at least put on a fake smile read more

I've only rated the turkey crunch sandwich so far, but it's hands down the best sandwich I've had in the area.

To start off this was my first time ever eating here. The two ladies working up front were extremely nice and not to mention helpful. I got the choose 2 option with a sandwich and potato. The sandwich was good but quite small, and I think I would've rather had the potato plain because it was amazing and I felt like the toppings were a distraction. read more

We really enjoyed it all! We had so many things: a grilled cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, tortilla soup, one of the black angus potatoes, broccoli cheese soup, a salad, tortilla soup, and the chicken salad on a croissant. It was all super good. The broccoli cheese was the cheesiest soup ever. The gravy was a little on the peppery side for an 8 year old...but we loved it. The sandwich and the potato were both so delicious! We will be ordering from here again. read more

Great tasting sandwiches and spuds. First time we ate there it was clean food was great but since then it's been downhill. When you spend that much on a sandwich you think it would be right but they managed to mess it up. We also ordered chips and queso and they gave us a handful of chips and the smallest amount of queso. For the price the taste is there but it's not worth it when you get that small of servings and we've had the chips and queso before so we know what it's supposed to look like. Just disappointed on how quick they've went downhill. read more

McAlister's has not been unknown to me, as there was one and Biloxi, Mississippi where I lived before moving here to the valley. It was a constant lunch spot for us. The meat was wonderful and the iced tea delicious. When I saw that they had moved here to Tempe I was very excited, but it took quite some time before we decided to stop for a meal. The menu has grown extensively. I finally decided upon half a sandwich and half a shareable. I had roast beef on a baguette and nachos. When I took my first bite of roast beef, I remembered exactly why McAlister's had been such a fond place for eating. The meat is tender and delicious. Not the kind of roast beef that falls apart because it's been chopped and formed or stringy and tough like in so many places I get sandwiches. The nachos were plentiful and extremely good with chili, cheese sauce, shredded cheese, sour cream, and a plethora of black olives! Unlike many places I get nachos, there was enough topping for most of the chips. The jalapenos were a bit on the warm side for me, but crunchy and flavorful. My son got Caesar salad and french onion soup. The salad was crispy and tasty but the soup had an odd flavor to it, like some herb I am not accustomed the tasting in French onion soup, but he liked it. The staff in the deli are cheerful and helpful. For high-quality meat, make McAlister's a spot to choose often. read more

Been here twice now. Staff is friendly. Great food every time! Really like the soup. Great location near Tempe Improv and fun dessert places! Will definitely be returning! read more

This deli is pretty good. We had their horseradish roast beef and cheddar sandwich and the southwest spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese as the side. The service and the food are both 4/5 stars. The Mac and cheese was surprisingly good and the sandwiches filing. We will be back but it's not our new favorite place. read more

My work orders from this place a few times a month. We are getting everybody hooked LOL greatest sandwiches in Tempe. I recommend this place delivery through GrubHub is very convenient. The sandwiches are always perfection and the meat is always tender. read more

The people were so nice and the food was really good! The Mac N Cheese was really yummy!

This was my first time at McAlisters. I enjoyed it enough but it didn't blow my socks off. I split a Ruben and a salad with my friend. The Ruben was pretty good, as was the salad. No real complaints here. Decent food as a fair price. If I was in the area and craving a sandwich, I'd definitely pick this place over Panera. That said, it's nothing revolutionary. read more

Sides were good. Pickle had crunch and flavor. Tea was good. Place was clean. Music not too loud. Sandwiches were not very impressive. On par with subway, so way overpriced for the lack of quality. read more

The service is so great here! This location is very clean and the servers were very helpful when I was deciding on my order. I recommend this place and order the pick 2 option! A sandwich and soup goes a long way! The food was brought out quickly and tasted amazing. read more

What can I say? this is like every other McAlister's in the world. The food is consistent and good but sometimes slacking salt and flavor.
