Came here on a Wednesday at lunch time. Wasn’t very busy. Service was very good! It’s nice and clean inside. I ordered the McAllister club sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. It took less than 5 minutes to get my food. And everything was delicious! Fresh ingredients, delicious sweet mustard. Will definitely come back here. Good portion sizes, I don’t like enormous meals. This was just right.

The king club is worth multiple visits. I had the chicken bacon ranch spud. I didn’t like it. It’s just ok. I wish they would bring back the chilli cheese spud. That use to be my favorite.

Great place!! Super friendly!! Had an incident where the DoorDash driver forgot half our order at the restaurant. Luckily the manager (unfortunately I did not get her name) there was kind enough to deliver the remainder of our lunch to us. Such great staff!! Recommend 10/10!!!!! Food was great as well!!

Came here for dinner on Friday, January 30, 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 2-7-26)

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.

On a quest for an outstanding corned beef sandwich with thick cuts of meat, but this was not it. It was ok.
I asked for the meat to be warm on rye; I got toasted bread
The potato salad was creamy and delish. I’d order that again.
By far the staff was this location’s biggest asset. They were wonderfully accommodating in promptly picking up my plate when I was done and politely asking if I’d like a soda refill. And Danil immediately credited my card for the wrong size drink, WITHOUT my even noticing it asking about it.

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!

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.
Ordered chicken salad, bowl of chili, and ham and cheese melt with fruit on the side.

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.
