McAlister's Deli

"Good lunch delivery always quick, love the Rachel sandwich, they are hard to find around here. Packaging could be better tho they put hot baked potato in same container as a cold salad, potato wasn’t wrapped in foil or anything."

"Have ordered from here a few times for lunch. The food is consistently pretty good taste-wise, but quantity lacking especially for the price. Salads aren't filled in the box, sandwiches are via small sandwich bread, soup bowls are basically mini cups."

"Heather, the manager at McAlister’s, excels at meeting the needs of her customers. With a smile, she makes the extra effort to make your dining experience memorable. On a visit earlier this week, I rode my bike over for lunch and ordered their famous refreshing tea. Seeing that the drink cup might spill in my water bottle cage, she wrapped it in cellophane, effectively sealing it from leaking. Who on God’s good Earth goes to such lengths to make customers happy? Heather and crew! Let’s not forget Justin, Hanna and the other personable staff there!"

"I visited on a Friday afternoon to get some pre-movie eats convenient to the University Mall Theater just two minutes walk away. On this occasion, staff appeared busy with a large catering order but still served me promptly and cordially. After being politely corrected about what I could select as part of the Choose Two option (not two half sandwiches — my mistake entirely), I landed on a half New Yorker sandwich and a half southwest chicken salad along with sides of tomato and cucumber salad, steamed broccoli, and fruit. The ordering and payment process flowed smoothly, as the attendant confirmed my order before I paid. My food was cheerfully delivered to my table within what seemed five minutes, pleasantly quick under the circumstances. The quality of my order hit the right notes. The salad had a pleasing balance of ingredients overall, and the dressing was so good I actually thought about trying to take the left over amount home. The chicken could be either shredded or cut a little more to disperse the protein more equally, but the flavors were welcome summer eating to be sure. The sandwich likewise had a generous not gluttonous portion of corned beef, mustard, and cheese melted fresh. A little more pastrami would have made the sandwich more balanced for my taste, but the value and combined flavor was still quite enjoyable. The broccoli florets were steamed reasonably well and portioned properly. The diced tomatoes could have been fresher even if the overall salad had crispy cucumbers. The pineapple segments were ripe and juicy. My total bill came to $17 including tax and excluding tip. I could see myself experimenting with other sandwiches and maybe one of the potatoes to see how the quality expresses in those offerings. A good lunch or light dinner place to be sure."

"I've heard rave reviews about this place and while it didn't blow my mind, it was good. The servings are a bit small but the cashiers were nice and efficient, and the food came out quickly. My biggest gripe is the disparity between their fountain drink and water cups. I think that's a leading cause of so many health problems in the US as a whole."
