McAlister's Deli 210 West Sunshine Street, Springfield, MO 65807

"This is a good but busy McAllister‘s. The tea is great as always, and the food is good. They usually have the chicken noodle soup where the other ones don’t. They have outside seating but I’ve never seen anyone sit there. Parking is a little tight but you can park on the west side by the barbecue place. This is one of the busier ones so it’s best to call ahead or come a little early"

"Dropped in at the sunshine location this evening. Interior's still nice and was decently clean. Could be an issue with different management at night but was pretty disappointed. Zero hospitality, in the sense of the word. When I acknowledged that I was ready to place my order, a bevy of refills promptly took precedent as I watched the cashier walk away, when I was attended to, I had to repeat myself as if they weren't paying attention to the answer i gave them for the question they gave me Got home, no pickle spears"

"Being raised in an environment void of ice tea I passed on the purchasing a cup of McAlister's famous brew. I was encouraged by my friend to give it a try, the cashier was gracious enough to offer me a free sample. The results, Next time if I want something other than water I believe I might order the ice tea with my meal. It has the potential to make me enjoy drinking tea. Next my sandwich comes out on this nice thick dense bread, dense enough yet still soft and moist. My first bite was a pleasant surprise. The bread was amazing, it added a nice texture and taste to the sandwich. Almost a month later mouth waters slightly at the thought of eating that sandwich."

"My husband begs to make the trip here at least a few times a year (an hour and a half away from us). It’s been several months and the menu has been changed up a bit. My husband’s favorite dish has always been the muffleta but unfortunately it wasn’t on the menu any longer. We ordered loaded spuds, salads, and nachos. They were all delicious! It took a while to get through the line but it was noon on a Sunday so it’s to be expected. It really only took about 10 min with a line of about 15 people, not too bad. I wish they still had the coconut brownie on the menu but I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate brownie and the cookie in its place. You must try the fruit drinks too!! So good!!!"
