I am very thankful this establishment is in Council Bluffs Iowa. My whole family loves the food here, as there is a selection of sandwiches, soups, and sides that fit the tastes of kids and adults alike. I usually have such a difficult time making my decision on what to order, but the turkey bacon ranch sandwich is tough to beat. The mac and cheese is one of my kids favorites in the entire Council Bluffs-Omaha area…and I would consider them Mac and Cheese connoisseurs. 🙂 I have never noticed dirty tables like mentioned in the other reviews, and in fact, I actively see an associate quickly follow up on cleaning a table when a guest has left, so I feel like they are taking that seriously as well. If you have never stopped into McAlister’s Deli, definitely make the stop soon as you will be thankful you did.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Kids meals 99¢, as a parent of two children that is music to my ears. The location of this place is good and the dining area is quite roomy and nice in appearance. The food was very yummy and there were plenty of delicious choices on the menu. The prices were great and the food good quality. We will definitely be back soon!

This place obviously needs management and staff training. The table on half the building were dirty and had plates sitting on them. Not a single table had been wiped down. The other side of the restaurant was also dirty, the mats were rolled in the corner, the shelves for carry out needed to be wiped out. The counters were dirty….

All the staff members were extremely nice, and helpful!! But when I went this past Saturday I didn’t get my full order for takeout. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I called when I got home, and the phone said not accepting calls at this time. I tried calling again 3 days later, and the phone still said not accepting calls at this time.

I love a good club sandwich and I thought this was my go to! However, I ordered a king club and was given a regular. Not a huge deal except it was a meal to be shared during a very busy evening. Called until close with no answer. Called several more times over the weekend but managers were too busy. Highly disappointing, especially for price! Seems training and communication skills may need some brushing up. Now to find a good place for a club!
