Came in because my partner was sick and wanted some deli food and I can’t even explain how amazing this woman was, she is an older, shorter women with glasses who worked the front. Her service was above and beyond. A genuine sweetheart to say the least! Hope her boss gives her a raise cause she deserves it!

I have NEVER experienced customer service like I did at this place. Heidi was amazing to me. It was my very first time trying Mcalister’s Deli, and I have never felt so welcomed and cared for like I did here. She only works on weekends and I’m only coming on weekends just so I can see her! Coming in and she acknowledges you right away with a smile and a greet. Thank you Heidi for making my experience for the first time most enjoyable and I will be seeing you again.
