McAlister's Deli

I placed a pick-up order this evening and when I arrived at the restaurant there were a couple of tables with patrons eating and a young man was waiting at the counter to be helped. One of the staff employees was sweeping the floor in the small area to the left of the ordering bar. She saw me come in, there was no one else at the ordering bar. I asked the young man if he was waiting and he nodded "yes". We both stood there for about 5 minutes until the girl sweeping the floor came to help us. He was also waiting to pick up his order as I was. First, there was no greeting from the employee whom we had to wait for until she felt like coming over to help. Second, as soon as your customer walks through the door, they should be greeted and asked how can I help you or what can I get for you? Third, patrons are eating, wait and do your sweeping after your patrons are gone or when you have no one in the restaurant. That causes dirt and dust to fly through the air and can be uncomfortable to those who have issues breathing. If you want people to come continue to come back and eat or order out, put the broom down and tend to your customers.

Very delicious

My sandwich was to go, it was delicious.

Very food and atmosphere. Nice staff.

I ordered a fruit cup as a side and found mold on my strawberry

FRESH FOOD AND THE BEST FOOD! Nothing can beat this place! Happy soul and tummy!♡♡♡

This is what you get for $10. If I want a baked potato, I’ll definitely go to spud ranch to get my moneys worth. This is absolutely ridiculous.

I've been dining at McAllister's for the past four years since residing in San Marcos. Anytime I have a salad and sandwich craving I make a beeline to McAllister's. No complaints with the quality of food although I've only had just a few items. Yesterday, I decided to switch things up from my usual -- Savannah Salad and the massive club sandwich always with cucumber tomato salad. Instead, I went with Southwest Chicken salad and Spicy Turkey melt with potato salad. I don't know if there was something in the air that afternoon, but I swear I was in salad and sandwich bliss!!! I could not get over all the wonderful flavours my palate was experiencing. The salad was incredible with the dressing that is recommended. And something about the bread the sandwich was made with had this incredible sweet aftertaste. As a massive potato person, I especially love potato salad. Kartoffelsalat being among my top favourite. I just finished off the McAllister potato salad and felt so inclined to write about it; it is that damn good!!! I am tempted to see if they can prepare a special order for me personally so that I can have it at home for a minute. I can no longer consume HEB potato salad. Anyhow, I am sitting here still happily gnoshing away at the salad and sandwich. How can something so simple make me so happy? I highly recommend these items. I hope there is a McAllister's in Houston as I am moving in a few weeks. That is all.
