    The dining table and napkin dispenser.

    I got grossed out when I saw all the dust on my table and napkin dispenser. This place needs a good cleaning. I got actual dust in my mouth from grabbing a napkin and it flew on my food and everything. Yuck

    I thought this was a sit-down service place but you order your food and then the staff will bring it to you. I had the BLT with avocado and a small cup of chicken tortilla soup. My friend had the salad with grilled chicken. There was way too much bacon and not enough lettuce and tomatoes; and barely any avocado - just one small slice. I tasted mostly bacon. Who doesn't love bacon, but really, too much on the sandwich. My soup had very little chicken. I expected strips of tortillas in the soup but it came with a side of tortilla chips. It was also pretty thick, a little too much flour. My friend's salad looked great. We did get our food pretty quickly, so we didn't linger.

    I really enjoy McAlisters and have never had an issue here. I always try to get something new, my favorite item being the veggie spud. I went with a cheese spud and veggie chili. Everything was wonderful, my friend had the club sandwich and it was hearty! McAlisters is right by my work so I like to grab a quick lunch. It's always fast and has healthy options. I recommend!

    After visiting Wilmington & trying this place, I'm disappointed that I hadn't ever been in my three years of living in town. You order at the counter and a server brings your meal to you. Everyone I met who worked there was very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of healthy and more indulgent options spanning from salad, sandwiches, soups, and a fan-favorite "spud" or baked potato. I found that my "pick two" of half salad and half spud was not only fresh and delicious, but also a good bit cheaper than something similar you would get at Panera. I love a simple salad and this place fulfilled that craving with a filling potato to complement it. I would totally go back when I'm near another McAlister's location.

    There's no match for McAllisters and other deli style food in the area (chain restaurants especially). The food taste fresher and the portion sizes are bigger. There's several different sides to chose from which also gives you lots of variety ( chips, soups, salads, potato salad, mac n cheese, etc). I typically get cravings for soups, salads, and sandwiches.. and this definitely satisfies it! The bread was delish and the staff had it out in a hurry! I love that you never leave this place feeling gross like most restaurants seem to do to me.. you know those straight meat sweats. This place also isn't crazy expensive and you don't feel cheated when you leave. BTW certain kids meals are 99 cents on Saturday's!!! Note that the sweet tea here is like SWEET SWEET. Sweet tea lovers beware!

    $9.38 for a cup of soup and tea, and I ordered a bowl with chips as my side, not the bread!

    They put barely any meat on the sandwich. Was not worth the price at all. The quality has gone down so much

    This place has been on my list for almost a year and it now has my little Italian heart…read more My daughter and I walked in around 1pm on a weekday, tried to wait until the lunch rush was over. It's spring break and azalea fest...so that worked out perfectly. We were greeted at the counter and the nice young gentleman asked if my daughter could have a cookie. Sure! Giant chocolate chips, so good. I ordered and they even offered me a coffee while I waited. I chose the Haley on a long roll. Nice crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, turkey, arugula and balsamic. Honestly, haven't had a hoagie that good in years. We also had their pasta salad, equally delicious. Plenty of seating inside, with a lot of cool photos on the walls. It felt just like being home. Can't wait to go back!

    The food here is less than what you would expect at a gas station, or even a public cafeteria. The…read more"Florence" was so dry. Why do they bother to list out ingredients when you cant even see them? all i saw picking it apart was the cheese. its oddly tasteless too. Clearly very poor quality produce used, any toddler could create a better sandwich id bet, if they cared not to pick out the cheapest poisons to consume. Egg sandwich sucked too. Flavorless mediocre antipasto salad. Desserts are so mediocre aswell. They stole the carrot cake I ordered. pound cake dry and flavorless. Trashy lays chips lazily thrown on as a side to everything. The "capri", the first thing im able to taste yet, the beef has a taste of raw tuna. Disgusting. Went into the trash. Along with all the money ive spent at this dumpster. The long rollon it has slightly better flavor than round roll, but is tough. Everywhere in wilmington ive been has been slightly less than mediocore, Mediocre ingredients everywhere, preperation doesnt matter at this point. even the "nicer" restuarants here. But this is just so so much worse. and oh the prices, the prices compelled me to write the review. Terrible service, I accidentally grabbed the wrong sandwich due to the terrible squeal the chef lets out. When I did, I was on the brink of getting splashed in a wave of diarrhea and urine, with how far the seams of his diaper had stretched. I guess he knows how much a customer can be peed on with the "food" they serve, and the seemingly good reviews they brag about getting in return.
