    Ordered a blt and bacon was burnt which obviously threw the whole sandwich off....yuck no thanks. Service wasn't good either considering they just opened and I as maybe the first costumer. The lady who took my order was not friendly at all and seemed to not want to be at work today. Wish I would have went next door to jerseys Mikes!

    Sandwich
    Jay H.

    Our first time stopping in and really was impressed! Restaurant was open and bright and very clean. Loved the bar top area! (Could see myself coming in to do work on my laptop there) Service and employees were quick and friendly, brining the food right to your table and checking in to get us a refill without asking! Food was great as well. Ingredients were fresh and the bread was nice and soft, just the way I like it. I will say the Mac and cheese could use a little work though, but not bad. I think this will be our new sandwich place!

    French Dip
    Christine B.

    I wasn't sure what to expect from McAlister's but everything here was a pleasant surprise. I tried out the Choose 2 option, picking a half of a French Dip sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was decent but the sandwich was extra good, with its soft yet crispy bun and Swiss cheese. The beef was good quality and the au jus was just right - not too salty. I enjoyed my lunch and wish we had this deli in Arizona.

    Strawberry Lemonade
    Jane N.

    Banana Cream Butterscotch Pie is the perfect treat for the summer! Light, not too sweet, and a delicious crust. I always get iced tea - instead tried the Strawberry Lemonade and it was a refreshing treat. The app is easy to scan your rewards code. This was my first time inside the restaurant and it is so nice! Please be patient with new staff that are learning

    Reuben and The McAlister's Club, McAlister's Famous Tea
    Sarah S.

    Didn't have any expectations going in, we were not familiar with the chain. The dining area was clean and comfortable. The drink size is huge! I saw they had world famous sweet tea. It was quite good I would like to try it with lemon. Overall I'm not sure I can say it's a whole lot better than Chick-fil-A. The big disappointment was the Reuben. Cut in half and only one side of it had cheese, sauce and sauerkraut. Now you can say that is poorly cut sandwich. But these prices aren't super low so all of the sandwich needs to have all the stuff. They also charged for water. Maybe that was on the sign? but it caught us off guard. And I'm a little confused for the need to do that around here. I'm giving it three because I would go back and give them another go. A fun variety to their menu and our food was tasty.

    Sweet McAlister's Famous Tea with peach added
    Jessica G.

    My first time at McAlister's Deli and I will be sure to be back! The pick-two was the perfect size. I was full but not overly full. I also tried the sweet tea but added peach to mine. It was awesome to be able to try it free for signing up for the app! The food came out pretty quickly and the staff was super friendly. We had both ordered sour cream for our potatoes but had to request it because they forgot - which wasn't a big deal at all since we were dining in. I gave 4/5 stars just because it wasn't anything that I would really crave, but it is a nice option for lunch! I liked the crisp, fresh taste of my wrap and would for sure order it again. Welcome to the neighborhood!

    The Cuban sandwich was delicious. Not an authentic Cuban sandwich for those looking for that but very good. Staff provided good service

    Service terrible. Food mediocre. Too many other options for dining. Hard pass. Subway or Jersey Mikes or even Panera is better.

    The New Yorker has to be the best sandwich in the Grand Rapids area. It is my favorite. The baked potatoes are also wonderful.

    Always a great meal at McAlister's. I, especially, love their Ultimate Nachos. Best nachos around! It's our go-to place after church.

    The food is so good at McAlister's! My husband loves it and he's picky. He likes the spicy chicken sandwich. I like the reuben. Yum!

    I saw Jayson D's review of this place and it looked so good that I went the very same day. I love a…read moregood deli, so I'm happy I got the inspiration to stop in. When I walked in, the place was packed. It's a small space, and it was bustling around 1 pm. I was noticed by a kind employee who let me sit at a cozy booth. The menu is huge and includes tons of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads. It was tough to choose but I went with the Irish reuben (grilled pastrami, corned beef, bacon, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island on marble rye). Sandwiches come with chips, or you can upgrade to fries (regular, sweet potato, or Southwestern dipping fries) - I went with the Southwestern dipping fries, which are seasoned potato wedges. My food came out quickly and I was amazed at the large portions. It was a full basket of fries and a sandwich that would equal two full sandwiches elsewhere. The sandwich was super hot and delicious and packed with meat. I think it's one of the tastiest reubens I've had in awhile. The fries were good, but I think I prefer regular fries. Glad I got to try them, though. They have a daily special where a specific item is discounted, which makes it an affordable option for lunch. I was there on a Tuesday so the special was a spicy fried chicken sandwich or wrap for $12 served with chips or fries. That's a great deal! I will definitely be back for one of their specials. The employees I interacted with were all very friendly and kind and working really hard. I always appreciate good customer service and I found that here. Finally, they serve beer and wine, so if you want a drink with lunch, that is an option as well. The only downside is the small dining area, so I wouldn't say it's great for large groups, and they are only open Monday through Friday for lunch. Luckily I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be back for lunch again soon!

    Wow! How haven't I gotten in here before?! This place is a flat out gem. EASY to recommend deli…read morefare and burgers. Quick and friendly service even during the lunch rush. Spacious parking outside. I tried their hot pastrami sammy. The pastrami was sliced against the grain to make it easy to bite, and it tasted perfectly pastrami-y--that signature smoky briny taste, but it wasn't too salty. The portion was enormous! Half an O'brien's sammy would have been the full order anywhere else. There's even a little buddy-sized sink and a tiny toilet in the men's bathroom! Popular with locals and it's easy to see why.
