$18.89 for this sandwich and a cup of soup with a drink….This sandwich was rolled up so tight and looks like someone squeezed the life out of it. Not only is this sandwich 3 inches long it was horrible. CANNOT believe they would send this out to someone that just paid what I did. And you charge a $1.50 up charge for this Memphian!? Literally everyone at work is laughing at this mini slider sandwich I got. Looks like I’ll be going back to Panera. Smh

Came here for lunch on Monday, February 16, 2026. The food is pretty good and the staff is very nice and friendly. We had zero problems and there’s plenty of seating, we each found a sandwich that we loved. We would definitely recommend and return again. (Written 2-25-26)

We ordered pick up. 1/2 Sandwich 1/2 Cup of soup. The club was awesome. The chicken tortilla soup was really good. Thick, spicy. Good with crackers. Husband had the broccoli cheddar and said it was really good (I didn’t get a pic). Perfect serving size for a light lunch. We recommend!

Superb lunch spot with clean spacious booths suitable for conversation. Blissfully no music playing! The food was prepared and brought to our table in 5 minutes. The McAllister club was nice to split with my wife, with fresh ingredients and a sweet sauce with just a hint of spice…mostly mayo but there is something more going on there. Potato salad was fresh…..a little bland but that’s OK. Can’t beat the affordable prices.

I love McAlister’s Deli’s!!
This one in Lake Zurich was a wonderful experience eating in.
Super friendly staff. They all seemed so happy and enjoyed working together. Very refreshing!
Sandwiches brought to our table, warm and with a beautiful presentation on large white ceramic plates
Nice touch!
My turkey sandwich was super flavorful with a balsamic dressing.
My husband’s horseradish roast beef sandwich could have used just a little more zing, he said.
Thanks

The food quality has really taken a nose dive. My last few salads, the lettuce was mushy but this last one was mushy, slimy and the avocado on top was clearly rotten. Gross! To bad, I used to like this place.

This is a relatively newly opened location. Some staff were friendly, some super stars and a few were a bit stiff and awkward with the standard corporate offerings asking if your food was ok etc. The inside was clean and condiment station was well stocked. I love this place. The menu rocks. But this time it was hit and miss. My potato was perfect! My table mate had a potato that was dried out, shriveled and a bit on the leathery side. The open faced sandwich came out and the bread was alright, again the temperature was on the cool side, bread a bit dry. The flavor was good though, however I’d pass on The Big Nasty next time. The Memphian was tasty and the Horseradish Roast Beef & Cheddar got a 7 out of 10. I’ll always go back, the combo options are almost endless.

Nice new location next to Oberweis in Lake Zurich. The menu options are wide! And then they have specials not listed on the main board! The staff is helpful with options if you can’t decide. Once order is placed, they bring you the food. Once done, they clear the food. The sandwiches and bread were fresh and delicious. Their salads look amazing, and I must try next time. The sweet tea is on point.

Wow!! I could not believe the numbers of choices on the menu…it was so difficult to decide. I ended up ordering the Southwest Chicken Salad, sweet tea, and a brookie and I did not regret my choice. I was with my siblings and had a taste of the French Dip which was amazing as was the New Yorker. I will definitely eat here again!! What would make this place even better: have a drink refill station so we can get our own refills, and offer smoothies and shakes

Food is great
But darn it’s a tragic let down restaurant quality atmosphere paired with plastic ware and To-go containers for your eat in experience for bowls of soup. The large serving plates are excellent plastic plates. The better quality sturdy plastic ware for the baked potatoes are nice. Still just 3 star excellence
The sports bar next door has all the plates and bowls and metal spoons knives and forks. Prices are more expensive but I’m cool with it. Raised my level of appreciation.
I’m tragically disappointed in this failure to provide a better service.
And I spent $27at the sports bar next door for a good meal with 30 TV’s and music. chicken kabob with rice and broccoli and soup and cup of water including a $7.60 tip
Overall this location is near $30 for a good meal
I spent $28 on my full meal at McAlister’s today.
Soup and Baked potato and chili with a tea. Including a $2.38 tip
Overall it’s a ok experience more expensive for less of the quality I prefer in my dining experience. It’s more of a fast food experience and less of a restaurant style I thought I was paying for.
