34 dollars for two pick two with tea! There's better value other places. Used to love the king club sandwich,not so much anymore.

This was one of the poorest restaurant experiences we've had in quite some time. Our experience may be limited to this location, and hopefully so, as it was substandard at best. We haven't been to a McAlister's in a few years, but remember it feeling more like a fast deli than a true fast food establishment.They were out of ketchup. Completely. They didn't have any soda, limited to water and tea. The kids "pretzel hot dog" was not a pretzel hot dog, but really mini hot dog bites with a doughy coating more reminiscent of a corn dog. It also tasted stale and gross. We ended up tossing the hot dog bites and going to Chipotle down the road.The adults ordered salads, which were accurate to their menu description. Nothing to write home about, but also not bad.There were no trash cans in the entire restaurant. We had to ask the server/checkout/staff person behind the counter if we wanted to throw away any of the prepackaged utensils and straw wrappers that were slowly filling our table. On that note: Why are we using prepackaged utensils and napkins at a deli!?!? Another sign it has become a truly fast food establishment.I would say that the one employee we could see, who was doing all the jobs save for cooking/prepping food, was helpful and understanding to McAlister's shortcomings. She was clearly being spread way too thin in her role, but still found the strength to apologize for the inadequate situation.Lastly, the restrooms were disgusting. Just unclean and not maintained. Do better.Vegetarian options: Some options.Dietary restrictions: Be careful with cheese. It's in most things.Parking: Tons of parkingKid-friendliness: A handful of options. All unhealthy, processed and, honestly, lacking of taste. My kids hated the "pretzel hot dog" which was really mini hot dog pretzel bitesWheelchair accessibility: Yes

First time here and I didn't know what to order...seemed kinda pricey. Looked over the menu and saw they had a Reuben sandwich ? Omg it was huge and was very good. Huge portions well worth the money. Can't wait to go back and try something else! Clean place, great staff, quick service.

Sandwich shop , the atmosphere and selections are pretty decent . Has a better vibe than some of the other sandwich places , this feels more like a resturant, (if that makes sense).

Cross-contamination. First few times I've gone the food was good but last time my chicken Caesar wrap tasted strongly of tuna and I'm allergic to tuna. They definitely did not clean their prep surfaces or utensils between orders. Won't be going back as I can't trust them to be consistent with cleaning. Food would be great if employees were consistent.

“Country potato soup” was so bland. Couldn’t even eat it as it was basically potato water. No seasoning, no bacon,no chives and no cheese. $7 for this was absolutely disappointing.

Food has no flavor. Had to ask for jalapeños the only spicy sauce they had was Tabasco sauce. If you like plain Jane then come here I spend around $50 on our food and I left regretting it because the food just didn’t have flavor. Sorry but that was my deal breaker will probably not be coming back.

i’m so upset y’all have good food but your app is so scammy. if you ever order on the app, don’t ever save your payment methods and when you call ahead to place an order for pickup, be careful who you are speaking too. there was a time when i called and an indian man answered on the other line and asked me for my credit card number and social security number before placing an order??????? WHAT!!!!!!!!! and a couple of months back when i ordered online, i got a charge of 450 dollars on a mercury card and another charge for 230 as well, 1 day after i placed my order. definitely not a coincidence. the food has always been good i love the sandwiches but the app is scary and weird.

I go to McAlisters once in a while. Usually I don’t have an issue. If anything they give me a beautiful salad and its good. I don’t know if they were overworked today but I got less than half a salad. It was thrown all over the place and I was just very disappointed. I hope next time I go it’s a little better. If I’m gonna pay $12 for a solid I hope to at least get a full salad not half a salad.

The food always disappoints. It's like it should be good but isn't prepared the way it should be I've be3 times. Once it was so horrible one time it was as almost good and another time not bad. Not sure I'll go again but sometimes I think I just haven't ordered the right thing if that makes sense

Worst experience ever. Heater of establishment not even working. Everyone claims to be a manager, and after waiting for 20 minutes, ended speaking to the same person who talked to me and made me wait from the beginning. Most frustrating experience all to get my money back, and was my first time there. Will never recommend or go again.
