    veggie "please do not call me potato" spud and 1/2 and 1/2 tea of which i drank about 1/4 before pic
    Avery V.

    food - i went to the restaurant with my dad, and ordered the veggie spud, which was thoroughly tasty, toppings, fillings, skin and all. my only minor critique is the item being called a spud rather than potato, which i'd surmise might be too reminiscent of the notorious famine for such a restaurant that eponymously suggests irish heritage. i also got a 1/2 and 1/2 tea, which was quite refreshing and skillfully balanced. my dad got the nachos, which he reported were tasty also, though a little on the "chippy" side from what he has become accustomed from ordering that dish before. service - the service was efficient and friendly, which is especially appreciated because of the budding lunch rush during which we ordered. also, though the cashier was not the same worker who delivered our good food - i went to the restaurant with my dad, and ordered the veggie spud, which was thoroughly tasty, toppings, fillings, skin and all. my only minor critique is the item being called a spud rather than potato, which i'd surmise might be too reminiscent of the notorious famine for such a restaurant that eponymously suggests irish heritage. i also got a 1/2 and 1/2 tea, which was quite refreshing and skillfully balanced. my dad got the nachos, which he reported were tasty also, though a little on the "chippy" side from what he has become accustomed from ordering that dish before. service - the service was efficient and friendly, which is especially appreciated because of the budding lunch rush during which we ordered. also, though the cashier was not the same worker who delivered our food or cleared the plates from the table, she was the worker with whom we had the most interaction. and although i did not ask her name, i'll note she was wearing shiny green shamrock earrings, a festive reminder of st pattys day tomorrow. ambiance - as mentioned before, the restaurant was starting to get a lunch rush when we were arriving, and the guest flow looked to increase while we ate. that said, the restaurant remained efficient, and accomadated everybody well. and further, i'd like to note a main appeal of the restaurant for me is it's variety of seating options, including tables, booths, and outdoor patio seating, all with centralized ordering from a walk-up counter.

    I have been here before, and it was nothing to write home about. Today was quite a pleasant experience. Our service was great. I tried their new pecan berry salad, and it was wonderful. This was a very clean establishment, as well.

    King club sandwich with yellow potato salad
    Daniel T.

    Visited McAlister's deli near 21st and yale. I had a great experience and the food was amazing! It's always a great sight to see a restaurant full of people. I ordered the king club with the potato salad. The club sandwich was nothing short of a king sized sandwich... at times I didn't know if my big mouth was big enough to take a full bite of this king club sandwich. The potato salad was the perfect texture and even though I prefer a white potato salad, but McAlister's Deli potato salad is the bomb!!! Check this place out and check out the pics!!! Cleanliness: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Size of my sandwich: 11/10

    I had the half and half combo. I had the Cuban and chicken salad. It was excellent and I loved the meal.

    Mushy not so fresh lettuce
    Jaime B.

    I used to live near this McAllister's so I visit often. I would have given it five stars or year ago, but my take-out order wasn't the best. I ordered the Savannah salad to go, but there was so much more lettuce and less everything else (cucumbers, cheese, etc) that it was not a very good. However, the chicken in the salad at McAllister's always taste so good! Also, there was a mushy lettuce pieces. I don't think it was very fresh. On a good note, the girl who checked me out was super friendly. And the food was ready as soon as I got there.

    It had been a while since I visited McAllister, and I was recently needing to find a fast place with healthy-ish choices. So, I decided McAllister could be a good option! I don't know if it's just been so long since I was here last or if I just didn't notice before, but the menu was bigger than I remember, which made me super happy. It did take me longer than I thought it would take me to order because of that (and I think I was kind of annoying the cashier with not being ready with my order) but there was just such a good amount to choose from... I ended up going with the savannah salad and was extremely pleased with it. It was a good amount of mixed greens at the bottom, blue cheese, honey almonds, and a generous amount of grilled chicken. There may have been some other things in there but I don't think I remember, and those things I mentioned were the standouts anyways. Maybe dried cranberries? The flavors worked together extremely well and I especially loved the sweetness that the honey almonds gave... even the bleu cheese had a nice honey sweetness to it, I thought at least. The dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette and came in a little cup on the side. I liked that they did that because it let you decide how much or little dressing you wanted. Sometimes I feel like places skimp you on the salad dressing, but I don't feel like they did here. It was maybe a bit thicker creamier than others. It was nice. That may have also helped make it go longer and not run out as fast. Because I was so pleasantly surprised by my salad, I'm sure I'll be coming back more often for that same salad again and to maybe try some other things too!

    I had to take a picture with a McAlisters girl! They are all so cute with their headbands on FREE TEA DAY!

    Ordered a reuben and mac and cheese, both came out colder than a cup of ice. No silverware available to use. Wouldn't come back.

Both sandwiches came with homemade potato chips, a mix of regular and sweet potato and they were absolutely delicious. The Dutch Crunch Sandwich was packed with turkey, bacon, swiss, tomato, arugula, and avocado mayo on dutch crunch bread. They don't skimp on toppings at all, there was plenty of turkey and bacon, and every bite was flavorful. Dalton's Double Deuce was another standout. Ham, egg salad, olive tapenade, and arugula on a fresh Italian roll. It felt like a grown up version of an egg salad sandwich. The olive tapenade adds a great punch of flavor, though it leans a little salty. And the cookies... unbelievably good. Truly some of the best cookies I've had. The Brown Sugar Cookie has a gooey center and deep caramel flavor, and the Oatmeal Cookie without no raisins, surprised me, I didn't miss the raisins at all. It tastes like it has a light honey glaze to me, and it's phenomenal. Trenchers is definitely a new favorite.

I ordered the full size, and it was huge. I ended up splitting it into two meals. My only complaint was the house-made chips. They seemed like they had been fried ahead of time because by the time I got them, they were soggy, which was a bit disappointing. I paired everything with a root beer, and overall it was a fantastic meal. Aside from the chips, I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

As the sandwiches are listed on the menu, you're asked (at the register) if you'd like whatever fixings that go with the sandwich. I got the Turkey and Cheese with lettuce & pickles, I added jalapeños & jalapeño sauce. I liked the creamy Italian sauce too. The sandwich was stacked. Plenty of turkey, plenty of lettuce, plenty of pickles and jalapeños. The sauce was there and wasn't an overload, just the right amount. The sandwiches come in small or large & I'm glad I got the small. The combos come with chips and a drink, they have one of my favorite chip brands, Miss Vickie's (Spicy Dill Pickle is an automatic pick for me). I wish I got the name of the dude who took my order. He was super cool, laid back & nice. He asked me if it was my first time in & I said yes (I always ordered pickup) and got to choose between the 3 cookie options they had for free. Their oatmeal raisin cookie doesn't taste like your average, see for yourself. *Side Note: Did Bill & Ruth's specialize in mainly cold sandwiches?
