McAlister’s is great! There’s something for everyone, from the variety of yummy baked potatoes to soups, salads, and an array of tasty sandwiches. I enjoyed my potato and salad combo, the potato was the chipotle chicken one though it wasn’t very spicy. Kids meals are well priced, though the Mac and cheese is more creaminess than noodles.

My co worker suggested this place for lunch, and I’m so glad she did! it was so good the sauce the amount of meat is wonderful! And the club was big enough for me to take half home for my husband for dinner, he loved it! (And he is picky!) The soup we both loved also! We got the tortilla soup it was perfect! *pics is of the King Club with croissant buns! added cucumber, black olives and onions! Sooo good!

Usually the food and service great, but I wasn’t happy with the broccoli the couple times. And my sandwich was sloppily put together.

If you want a sandwich, soup with sides and you love sweet tea…this is where you want to be! Fresh, stacked meat that’s flavorful and filling.

Picked this place for a get together with a friend and we didn’t know what to expect going in. We instantly loved the atmosphere, I forgot my wallet at home and luckily they had an order for pickup option online. My friend ordered at the counter so we got to experience both. Our orders were done quickly and were scrumptious. We have a tendency to chat for awhile when we get together and even had staff ask if we wanted refills. We will definitely be back to try more that the menu has to offer.
