The pick 2 lunch was great. Jalapeño crunch and a baked potato. The potato was good sized and delicious and loved the sandwich as well. Will def go again

Ordered a spud, watied 10 minutes to be told they were out of spuds, and it would be another 10-15 minutes. Another in our party was advised of the state of no potato's available. Not impressed at all.

By far my favorite experience here. I was warmly greeted by Kanylah and Aiden. I wanted to try a new tea, both went above any beyond to eas the anxiety and let me sample the peach mango tea. Kanylah even suggested from personal experience it would be better with a little bit of regular tea to ease the sweetness(which is what I was worried about). It tasted so good!! Aiden was super engaged with our table. The French dip is amazing. Can't wait to be back. Thank you both for the exceptional experience and kindness.

I generally order carryout and its always accurate, fresh and presented by the best people. Filling and won't break the bank.

The food is always good quality. Sometimes they forget stuff if you customize to much like avocado and bacon

Visited: May 20, 2025 (and two more times after that!)
Out of all the spots I tried during my ~2-week stay in Fort Wayne, McAlister’s Deli was the only place I came back to—and not just once, but three times total. That says a lot.
I had the King Club (I think that’s what it was called), and it hit the spot every single time. It was filling, tasty, and consistent. The staff were friendly, smiling, and checked in on me during the meal to see if I needed anything—small gesture, but appreciated.
This location set the bar high, and now I’ll be keeping an eye out for McAlister’s in other cities when I travel. Here’s hoping they live up to the Fort Wayne experience!
My star ranking system:
1: Bad / Don't go there
2: Could be better
3: Average
4: Above average but not the best
5: A true top notch place
