McAlister's Deli is a restaurant that offers a mixed dining experience, according to customer reviews. While the staff is praised for their excellent customer service and polite demeanor, the quality of the food has been criticized, with one customer describing the potato as "old, mean, dry out and brown looking." The reviews suggest that the restaurant needs to focus on improving the freshness and preparation of its menu items to provide a more consistent dining experience. Customers enjoy a variety of salads, sandwiches, and loaded potatoes, with the "choose two" option being popular. The sweet tea with lemons is highly recommended for its strong flavor. Some salads may be a bit skimpy on toppings, but the loaded baked potatoes are praised as excellent. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and offers a convenient app for ordering ahead. However, it is noted that the chili and Mexican-sounding items are not recommended, as the restaurant is not a Mexican place. Overall, McAlister's Deli provides a reliable option for those seeking familiar deli-style meals.
