I tried the sandwiches in this restaurant today. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich, which tasted very good. I ordered a New York sandwich, which was a bit salty. But overall I was quite satisfied. I hope the restaurant can play some music, otherwise it would be too quiet.

Shout out to Beau! For taking such great care, from taking my order to bringing the finished masterpiece to my table. She was truly sincere in my gluten allergy and made sure the staff knew to take all necessary precautions to not have cross contamination.
I walked in the front doors to this restaurant to feel and see a freshly new prestigious clean restaurant. You could feel this restaurant was new.
I walked up to only wait a few minutes before Beau took my order. I asked if they have gluten-free bread to have a club sandwich, and she is yes. She asked if this was a preference or an allergy? I appreciated the question because not everyone would take the time to ask. I said it was for an allergy. She immediately turned to the staff in the kitchen to convey this order was for an allergy, not preference. The kitchen staff stopped to acknowledge the use of the safety protocols for the order.
I also asked about what soup was GF to find my favorite tomatoe bisque was available.
I quickly ordered the tomato bisque soup.
As I walked to a table, I started to look around at all the decorations, pictures, and how clean the restaurant was. From the floors , tables, to the seats. It was refreshing to see such a well maintained restaurant.
I didn’t wait too long before Beau brought my food out to me with a smile.
My first look at my order and the smells coming from my order, I knew it was going to be good.
I took a bite of the turkey sandwich that was thick with meats, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. It was delicious. Then I tried the tomato bisque. Oh my, it hit the spot perfectly.
I was so stuffed from the meal, and the warm soup made it perfect on this cold winter day out. Beau came out to check on me a few times and took my licked clean plate and bowl.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely
Would I return to this business? Absolutely
Don’t take my word for it. Go see for yourself!
I personally am not sure where the negative reviews came from, but my experience was excellent!

I am writing to formally complain about my recent experience at one of your McAlister’s locations. This was the third time I attempted to use catering coupons I received from prior catering orders, and once again they were refused—this time in an extremely embarrassing and unprofessional manner.
These coupons were given to me over a period of time when my company regularly placed catering orders. At the time, the manager informed me that the coupons did not expire. There is no expiration date printed on them, and I have successfully used the same coupons at other McAlister’s locations without any issue.
During my most recent visit, I attempted to use the final two coupons to cover lunch for myself and a friend. Instead, I was met with rudeness and dismissive behavior from both an employee and a young woman who identified herself as the manager (I believe her name was Ciara). Rather than calmly explaining any policy, I was made to feel embarrassed in front of my guest.
This experience was especially disappointing because I was previously very familiar with this location when it was managed by Tyler, and the catering staff at that time were consistently professional and kind. Unfortunately, the current state of this location reflects a significant decline—not only in customer service, but in cleanliness as well. The dining area was visibly dirty, the floors were sticky, and the overall environment appeared neglected.
If coupons are distributed without expiration dates, customers should not be made to feel ashamed or accused for attempting to use them. Regardless of policy changes, the way this situation was handled was unacceptable.
Because of this experience, you have lost not only a long-time customer, but also future catering business from my company. With so much competition in the fast-casual restaurant space, customer service and basic cleanliness should be a priority.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that steps are taken to address both staff conduct and store conditions.

Very tasty, fresh, healthy and diverse menu. Loved the options of 1/2 & 1/2 variety of ordering, makes it easier to get a variety of offerings. Food was served in a very timely manner to our table, hot foods were warm/cold were cold. Easy order from the app as we browsed menus as well. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean establishment, bathrooms as well! We’ll be back, thanx!

This was my first bad experience at McAlister’s usually everything is on point. I understand delays on supplies but this time it was not a happy experience. I took a friend and was so excited telling her all the good eats since it was her first time. Well this time I was proved wrong. Everything we named to eat was out of stock. Only one spud, no turkey for the club and then I didn’t realize it but she charged us extra for adding a meat since they were out. No pickles. My sweet tea was not sweet. The sandwiches weren’t cut like normal. The manager didn’t even acknowledge the customers nor come and talk to customers to apologize for being out of items due to delivery issue. The wait was over 20 minutes to receive our order. Then it was wrong.

There was a sign on the door that said there would be a 40 minute wait but we didn’t mind. It seemed like the staff was new as the cashier was needing help with our order. We usually love the sweet tea but it was soooo sweet this time I could hardly drink it. I ended up taking it up-front and asking for them to mix unsweetened tea with it. Our order took only 20 minutes to get to our table which was awesome. The potato salad was bomb as usual and the harvest chicken salad on a croissant was good.

Really great fast food option that’s healthy!! They have a great selection of salads, sandwiches and spuds. I got the southwest chicken and avocado salad and a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with a side of Mac and cheese. I also tried their famous iced tea and lemonade drink. Everything was fresh and tasty!! Service was fast and friendly. You can do mobile order for pickup and order in store for dine in or take away. It’s a busy place so if you’re in a rush then mobile order would be your best bet.

Very good lunch spot! Can be a light meal or heavy one depending on what you get. Pictured is the itialian with cheddar brocolli soup, French dip, horseradish roast beef & cheddar with side salad. All of it was very tasty.

Lisa from McAlister’s was our catering contact, she made everything so easy and made sure we had everything we needed. Great job!

Lisa was absolutely amazing. Food was wonderful & exactly what I ordered. I made a catering order for over $200 for social workers at the hospital and it can be tricky getting everyone’s order right. Lisa individually wrote everyone’s names on the boxes for me & made my life so much easier. Also, her attitude and eagerness to help was very apparent. I love to see employees that love what they do! I will definitely be back. Lisa deserves a raise!
