All tasty, a bit pricey. Unless you want to eat it for 3 or 4 days, order the HALF baked potato- its huge!!

Nicest people with the most delicious food. They were so kind when many people participating in the No Kings rally parked so close to their restaurant. I will gladly support them and enjoy their food!

We ordered from McAlisters Deli and picked it up, we ordered a kids meal. We got Mac and cheese with a toasted turkey and cheese sandwich. The quality of food was awesome. I tasted the Mac and cheese and it was very good. We'll definitely be back, this is absolutely a better choice than most of the fast food restaurants we have as options.

In DeKalb there’s a deli that’s truly first-rate,
It once was a White Castle—how cool is that trait?
The building’s unique, with a history neat,
Now serving up lunches that can’t be beat.

The place is so clean, not a crumb in sight,
Tables and counters all shining bright.
The staff are so friendly, with smiles so wide,
They make you feel welcome the moment inside.

From soups to big sandwiches, each bite’s a win,
A great little spot you’ll be glad to step in.
If adventure you crave while you’re filling your tummy,
Remember the spirit of The Mummy.

Overall great place to visit. However, they do tend to get the order wrong sometimes. For example you ask for certain item not on your sandwich and they come on your sandwich anyways.

Dropped by McAlister’s Deli in DeKalb and tried the Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich with a side of Chicken Tortilla Soup. Honestly? Solid combo. The sandwich had a nice little kick—spicy but not aggressive—with juicy grilled chicken and that smoky chipotle mayo that sneaks up on you in the best way. The bread was toasted just right, so every bite had a little crunch.

The soup was kind of the perfect sidekick—warm, flavorful, and loaded with shredded chicken and tortilla strips. It’s the kind of thing that makes you pause mid-bite and go, “Yep, this was a good call.”

The place itself was chill. Quick service, clean tables, no fuss. I didn’t go for the sweet tea this time, but I saw enough people sipping it like it was liquid gold, so I’m guessing it’s worth a try next round.

If you’re in the mood for something comforting with a little edge, this sandwich-soup duo is a win. Nothing fancy—just good food that hits the spot.

Fast friendly service.
We had the buffalo chicken nachos... like you would make at home. Next time I will ask for sour cream.
Peach tea is dynamite.

McAlisters's is a very nice Deli. A little pricey at the top end, but worth it. It was very quiet when I was there, middle of the day. Wide verity menu, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful with our pet friendly questions. They are pet friendly with outdoor seating, and plans to expand outdoor seating. I say thumbs up.

Good food for a fair price, nothing particular special. Even boredline bland, but it fills you up, tastes good and isn't 20$ a meal.

The staff were very friendly and the service was super fast. Our sandwiches and potatoe were great - very generous portions and tasty! We also had a dessert, a cookie and a brookie- yum!
