    Just like a Panera bread, but with a more country atmosphere and HUGE portions. Their menu is huge! and they get really busy during lunch time. They have the you pick two just like Panera. They have huge bake potatoes that you will never be able to finish in one sitting. I would say that their menu caters more to the people who are less concern about their waistlines, while Panera is very much into smaller portions and healthier ingredients. That's probably why I like Panera more. Their soups are awesome! Especially the chicken and dumplings. Best I've tried so far in this area. They are famous for their sweet tea, and drinks come in one size, LARGE! The people are friendly and they call your name out, walk up to you, and hand you your food personally, but the service is a little slow during lunch time. Just warning you now. If you are going to go there for lunch, call ahead.

    Well here is the good the bad & the ugly. Good: Usually very consistent food. Good flavor and nice choices. Bad: Not everything is awesome = Ugly: Ordered the Veggie Club. Worst sandwich as it was 80% bread, and literally about 2 ounces of veggies, and a ultra thin spread of avocado. My wife took all the veggies off of each layer and put it on one slice of bread... what a joke! All for $7.00. Shame on McAlisters for poor value and a lousy sandwich. Southwest Griller= not so good either. Bottom line: They have some good choices, such as the New Yorker = lots of meat, very simple but flavorful. Baked Potatos= usually good and filling. Sweet Tea = Made from real tea and not sickening sweet. Usually slower service, but made to order so that is understandable. I like McAlisters, but only certain choices. Tried to widen out but not everything is a home run. They do strike out at times.

    HUGE portions - I often have trouble finishing what I order because there is so much there. Everything I've ordered has been tasty and the service is always prompt and very friendly. Great lunch items and tasty desserts, too. This is one of my husband's favorites in the area. He is also a huge fan of their famous sweet tea. :)

    Overrated and overpriced. Reminds me of a Panera knockoff! Restaurant was clean and the service was nice though :)

    Service was pretty good, except for the dodo cashier who saw me as first in line and called over the lady who was two behind me. The girl who waited on me was really nice and when I said I wasn't really hungry, suggested half of a veggie club. Didn't get way too much food, and the bill was less than $5. So far, so good. Here's where it starts to go a little sideways...I had called before choosing the place to make sure they had wifi because I had some work on the computer I needed to do. Well, I spent more time trying to maintain my connection than I did working. Ugh! Then my sandwich arrived and the bread was burnt. Just a little black, not all the way to ashes but still. Probably should have sent it back but was too frustrated about the wifi by the time I decided to eat it so just ate it and left. Not a great showing by McAlisters; will probably hit the Panera next time I find myself in Marion and need to work at lunch.

    I had repeated bad experiences here where meat was found in supposedly meatless dishes. I am almost certain that salad mixing bowls were not getting cleaned. I returned here today to see if anything had changed. During a brief discussion with the lady taking my order, I discovered that they had recently replaced a large portion of the kitchen help. I ordered a garden salad which was excellent. Fresh crisp greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, and absolutely no meat! If they keep this up, I will definitely return to my once weekly routine of eating at McAlisters. McAlisters offers a large selection of vegetarian items which are conveniently marked with a tomato symbol. They also have great sweet tea and the best chocolate chip cookies.

    Lots of great options, good food. Being vegetarian I had been starving in Marion so this was a great find. The cookie was super yummy too!!

    Big sandwiches and soup. Little salty. Pretty good road food. Friendly service.

    This place has decent deli / sandwich options for the Southern IL area. Although a bit pricey, the food is tasty and the portions are very generous. Try the sweetened ice tea, which is their signature drink. The Pick 2 is a very good option if you cannot finish their huge sandwiches.

    Everytime I come to Marion I try to always stop here. Today there was a young lady that was super nice and extremely helpful. She recommended a great sandwich. I will probably go back tomorrow.

    Food's pretty good and comes in copious quantities -- the operative phrase here is "big portions" -- giant sandwiches, hefty salads, enormous cups of sweet tea. Best deal is the "pick two" for 4.99, plus there are free refills on drinks, and seriously good cookies. Great service too.
