I love the fact that I can get a great vegetarian meal here! Today I had nachos and a strawberry salad. All delicious. I also appreciate how calm and stress-free the environment is. I recently ate at another restaurant in the area with blaring music and staff that talked like auctioneers!

On a quest for an outstanding corned beef sandwich with thick cuts of meat, but this was not it. It was ok.

Love this place, the sandwiches are soo good. I got the Jalapeño Turkey Crunch and It’s my favorite so far. I also ordered the garden salad and all the veggies were fresh and they give you alot. My girlfriend ordered the choose 2, half sandwich and half salad. Her sandwich was the BLT Avocado with a southwest Avocado salad. Hers was tasty and delicious. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was neatly cleaned. I enjoyed having a good sandwich meal here. Definitely coming here more often.

Ordered curbside on an errand day. Quick service! The food was fantastic, accurate, and delicious. The portions were bigger than we thought it would be.

Not one table was clean. Staff standing around yacking. Manager sullenly picked up a good container and threw it away when we asked why the tables weren’t being cleaned. I swear the portions here are smaller than Randal Road location. Chips were stale. And the kicker… A guy ate his meal, kicked off shoes (bare feet) sprawled across 2 booth benches and went to sleep. I think he worked there. Manager ignored him. We love McAllisters but this location is off our list. Wth

Great location. So glad we got one in town. Every sandwich is delicious, always get extra sauce if you can. Lemonade is great. Soups are pretty good, love the wide selection of items. Love the pick 2 because I can never decide on one thing. They are fast and never mess up our order. Also, they have awesome customer service; they call you just to make sure it’s okay to sub out something if they are out of it. I LOVE THAT. Such a good business model. <3

My son requested we stop at McAlister’s one day as we were driving down route 14. I never heard of the place, but he had a friend from school that worked here. I’m glad we stopped because our experience that day has made this a quick favorite of ours. My younger son loves the kids’ menu and alternates between the little pretzel dogs and the ham and cheese toastie. I either do the Turkey Club or the Spud Max. Note: The Spud Max is huge, so make sure you’re super hungry if you order that! The staff was friendly and attentive, even during a busy lunch rush.

McAlister’s food is great. Reuben an A+. My only issue is with how sides are presented. I had ordered a side of Mac n cheese and I felt cheated at first because I expected to have full container of food but the container was just under half full but then I realized I only paid like $1.50 for it. May want to reconsider packaging because it seems like a major waste of plastic for the land fills for three tablespoons of Mac n cheese.
