Went around 1130am on a week day and it was basically empty. It was my first time here and the cashier was really helpful - telling me which items were favorites among customers etc. I got the grilled cheese and some potato salad. The grilled cheese was good but definitely lacking on the filling. I got two thin tomato slices and a very small amount of cheese that was overwhelmed by the bread portion. Kind of a bummer since there were apparently 4 different types of cheese in there. The bread was warm and delicious and the potato salad was awesome. Ill be back to explore the menu a little more since my co worker raves about this place.

Edible. That's about all I can say for this place. This is your standard deli with mediocre sandwiches, soups, and salads. I had the fire roasted veggie soup, which was rather boring. I didn't realize it contained pasta, and since I'm generally GF, this was a bit disappointing (though, I admit it's my fault, as I completely forgot to ask). Also, the service was exceptionally slow, despite the fact that the place was not very busy at all. Fifteen minutes for a take out bowl of soup? Hmmm... I wasn't in a huge hurry, but it struck me as odd that it would take so long. Needless to say, I won't be back any time soon.

I was excited to find that there was at least three McAlister's Deli here in the Denver area so today I went to the one closest to where I live. What a mistake. It took over 15 minutes for me to get my order of two Pecanberry Salad. While I was waiting, a guy with a take out order who ordered after mel was served and went on his merry way and then a couple dining in, who also came after me, got their nachos. At this point (which was about 13 minutes of waiting) I asked how much longer for my order. The server had to check and came back to let me know it was almost ready. I wouldn't have mind so much if I was informed that it would take awhile (you know, it takes forever to plant and harvest lettuce) for my order. I also wouldn't be so annoyed if it was busy but it wasn't and employees were just hanging around (so was the manager). I'm not coming back here because the CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT - I'll just wait to go to the one in Albuquerque when I'm there for business. What a DISMAL EXPERIENCE. I finally did get my salads and they went into the fridge when I got home because I lost my appetite.

I asked Siri what restraints were nearby me and I was led here. Way to go Siri! I had the New Yorker sandwich and I must say it was one of the best corn beef or pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. Not only did it have BOTH, the bread was moist and tasted fresh. The meat was tender and plentiful. The Dijon was the perfect amount so that it didn't over power the favors or the pastrami and the corned beef. The pasta salad was a little dry and under seasoned but the pickle tasted home made. I will be eating here again and hope the rest of the menu is as good.

Their sandwiches and the sweet teas are definitely a great buy! You get a lot for about $10. Theyre usually pretty quick and easy to order. So if you need a fillin and quick lunch! Go here :) I've heard great things about their spuds but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. There's always next time, cuz I'll be back around here again.

I ordered the pecanberry salad to go. It took a reasonable amount of time for it to be prepared but they made it to eat there after I requested it to go. Shelby asked them to make it to go and it literally took them another 5 minutes to put it in a box for me. When I got to where I was going, I was underwhelmed by the amount of chicken on it and found there were no pecans. Seriously, there are 4 ingredients, how do you forget that? I called the store to let them know and they offered to make another. I told them I would be by in about ten minutes and it still wasn't ready. The dressing is also not very good--too sweet and syrupy. For my first time here I was not impressed.

I am shocked at how affordable it is for such good quality. The manager, Dave, was super efficient and our food was so good! My son loved his PBJ so much he actually said "it's wonderful" which never happens at Panera Bread. Being a former employee of Panera, I would recommend here instead every time except for the fact their sweet tea is just not southern enough to get my approval over Panera coffee. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

I ordered lunch on line for my team. Order was placed more then 1 hour prior to pick up time. I'm currently at 25 minutes beyond pick up time. The gentleman in front of me has been waiting for 40 minutes. We have both been asked to wait another 15 to 20 minutes. Two dine-in tables have asked for a refund. They have run out of time waiting on their food. Poorly run establishment. Dirty dining area & bathrooms. This is my last time in a McAlister's.

Still 3 STARS in our books.... Based on TAKE OUT. Late Dinner Sunday October 21st 2012. Time : 21:18hrs. The person who took our order was Grecia S. Ordered these items : * Kids Mac & Cheese ($3.49) * Chocolate Lovin' SpoonCake ($3.69) * Spicy Southwest Chicken Griller ($6.99) * Large Coke ($2.10) Total cost for Late Dinner with tax was $17.67. The Kids Mac & Cheese comes with Applesauce and Diet Pepper Drink and a snack. Hubs opt for the Spicy Southwest Chicken Griller without the Guacomole. His order comes with a Pickle and Potato Salad. I managed to get a bite from Hubs order. I like what I ate. The Chocolate Spoon Cake is a standard chocolate cake. Not too sweet for our taste bud. All in all, another A-OKAY take out dinner order. @163/2012

Made another visit, this time with a party of 5. Our food took a bit to get to our table; we did have quite a big order but the place wasn't very busy. The food was still as tasty and fresh as ever, and everyone was satisfied. However, our server forgot two sets of silverware and one of us had to go up and ask for more. It's definitely still one of the nicest eateries around, and we really should visit more often. My only wish is that their staff would be a bit more attentive!

This is kind of like a Panera Bread but amps it up to the next level. Friendly Customer Service. Went with the Chicken Club and Potato Salad. And a Soda. Tasty Filling sandwich, good crispy pickle. And The Potato Salad was seasoned perfectly and delicious. I checked out the Dessert menu but didn't have room. The music was playing a little too loudly, and the music they were playing i wouldn't expect it, but they had a young crew running things. Clean dining area as well.

When this place first opened - I LOVED it! But, recently this has deteriorated into a like, along with the quality of the salads, and most of the foods. First, I noticed that the portions went down in the salads - which I was fine with. But, the quality of the salad started going down as well. The Southwest Cobb used to be great. Now, they have stopped using chicken and the tortilla chips. And when you request the chicken - they just slop some wet chicken strips onto it. They have impeccable customer service, but someone in the kitchen is messing up.

I enjoy the extensive lunch menu here. I enjoy the easy parking. I enjoy the quick service, even during peak lunch time. I enjoy the cleanliness, even during peak hours. Yep, a lot of goodness in this place. Oh, the portions are not too large, not too small. The venue itself is kind of a pain to drive to, especially now with some road work going on and the shrimp poboy was average at best. But, I will let the average sandwich slide since the last time I came here, my food tasted great. IF you are tired of the same old lunch, this deli has a fun selection of sandwiches, salads, baked potato and soups to liven things up for you. Stop by if you are in the area.

We ate lunch here on May 25th. When I first looked at the menu I was a little concerned about the prices. $6.19 for a baked potato with bacon and cheese. Seemed a little high but when it came to the table I had the largest potato I had ever seen. It was at least 8" long and was absolutely loaded with cheese and bacon. They have a nice selection of teas and serve it with large lemons upon request. Even though we placed our order at the counter, they have servers who bring food to our table. Nice!! Clean restrooms and clean restaurant. We'll go again.

McAlister's is a delicious break from traditional fast food restaurants. First, I have to say they have the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had! Problem is, if I eat a grilled cheese every time I go, my birthday suit may be a little unflattering. So, I had to deviate from my fav and try other things on the menu. Today, I had the chicken tortilla soup and the Savannah chopped salad. The chicken tortilla soup was a bit too spicy. I needed a gallon of water to cool my mouth. But, the salad was lovely. It had grilled chicken, gorgonzola crumbles, dried cranberries, honey roasted almond, and sherry shallot dressing. The chicken, cheese, and dressing were devine. The pungent cheese was balanced perfectly by the smoothness of the dressing. I would have preferred pears and walnuts to cranberries and almonds, but that's just a personal preference. All-in-all, it was a good salad. Things to know: They have a great calorie calculator online. Just wish they had the calories posted in the store.

The store was consistent with other McAlisters we've been to in LA, NC, VA, TN. It was clean, bright and friendly. Kelly, the GM, checked on us and offered beverage refills. Our food came out quickly, but the tortilla soup wasn't hot and the country potato tasted old and was not creamy as much as thick. Over all good experience and we will continue to visit McAlister's as we travel.

Good atmosphere- took a while to get my food but it was noon. I understand it gets busy. Food is larger portioned and listening to other patrons they were loving the larger portioned food for the price. Would have liked faster food for the price though.

OK. Snowy Saturday, 2:45pm. The place was mostly empty, nobody in front of me at the register. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 bowls of soup and 2 sodas. It took nearly 20 minutes to get the food and when it came it was barely hot. My chili had paper chards floating in it and Randy's sandwich had hair in it. The food was VERY mediocre, the service deathly slow and the cleanliness....well, we won't go back. Sigh.

For a "Southern Style" deli, this place is great! We've always had great food here, and the Iced Tea is as good as any you can get anywhere! We highly recommend this place to anybody. While it doesn't compare with a fancy restaurant, in terms of a deli, I rate it 4/5.

Douglas R.
Baked Potatos the size of Footballs, ok not that big but damn close! Other then that this is the run of the mill, corporate deli, similar to others with a little southern angle thrown in. AKA Sweet Tea southern style which means a a cup of sugar per cup of tea LOL. Step up to the counter, order your variation of sandwhich chose your side or chips, find a seat eat and leave! The thing that stands out is the baked potato's, I dont know if they put two together to make one huge arse potato but this thing is literally enough for 2-3 people to eat and be fine!

This place used to be great. Now, they always screw up my order. ALWAYS. The quality has gone way down hill. We work down the street so we like to, or used to like to!, get take out from them. They screw the order up every single time. The manager for this place is horrible and cannot keep his people in line. One order, they forgot to put the tortilla strips in our salad. Another order, we paid for a WHOLE muffaletta with double which is very expensive - these people actually charged us for a whole muffaletta and they actually charged us for the cost of double meat on a whole muffaletta and the box we got only had a HALF in it. I could go on. Their food is good, I enjoy it but I'm not going to waste my time at a place that is so incompetent that they screw up every SINGLE ORDER.

I can usually judge a place by it's French Dip....and holy crap this place has a good dip. I just can't tell if it's really just a deli or a full restaurant. The kitchen is huge which makes it feel restaurant-y...but you order at the counter which is deli-ish...not to be confused with dee-lish! The service is pretty quick, but it almost seems like everyone there hates working there. It also seems like the staff turn-over is pretty high. Management might want to take a look at better insentives or motivation...but, who am I to tell them how to run their business? The prices are slightly California-esq, but I'm ok with it because the food quality is there! Big ass sodas out of plastic cups, I don't know why that makes it better, but it does.

I don't like this place. It tries to be a bit cutesy and homespun, I find it contrived and generic. My Tuscan style chicken sandwhich was bland, even when festooned with their greasy sauce. Its faux cozy, like they put wallpaper up in a McDonalds. Perhaps its my predilection to despise "cold cuts on a bun" places. Count me out at Subway's for example. The place is clean and the service quick. But the minions lining up for their rubber-on-a-roll just confuses me.

Was bummed out when the item I wanted, a Chicken Spud, was out. In fact all the Spuds were out and it was only 11:30am. I had the Chicken Caesar wrap with Mac and cheese side, it was ok. I did like that the menu was vast and that there were several different options but when they are out of 1/3rd of the things you want it narrows your choices down a lot.

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I get the turkey melt more often than not, and it's just about the best sandwich anyone could ask for. Always a reliable favorite!

Ha ha they have one in Colorado and its right next to work! This place is awesome. You can see from my reviews that I was introduced to one of these in Missouri over the summer, and I was way stoked to find out just today that we had one in town! This place gives you amazing sandwiches, soups, and salads with a touch of southern exposure. You can have sweet tea or any number of drinks, and they all come in oversized cups that are great to not have to refill. Today I had the grilled chicken club that comes along with smoked bacon, honey mustard, and the other standard sandwich fixins that you'd expect from a deli. You also get a pickle and a side. My personal favorite is the mac-and-cheese because it's with real melted cheese, and it reminds me of childhood down south with great grandma's cooking. They'll be seeing a lot more of my face since I know it's here. Check it out and enjoy for yourselves.

This is our go-to Sunday lunch place. The baked potatoes are great - I'm partial to the Spud Ole. It's massive though, so I loved when they added the choose two menu. A small salad and half of one of the regular potatoes is perfect. My husband loves their sandwiches and sweet tea.

Michael W.
I'm amazed at the amount of effort chain restaurants will go to, to appear to be a local establishment. I hate all the local sports posters and memorabilia and nonsense you see in say a Chili's or Ruby Tuesday. McAlisters, a deli chain, does the local look much better. Instead of random stuff on the wall, there are actual pictures from the local community. Places I ride pass everyday, like the Aurora Sports Complex for example. The food is pretty good, I like that the portions aren't giant, helps my waste. The menu is fairly comprehensive for a Deli: Sandwich's, Soups & Baked Potatoes. I like the New Yorker: Roast Beef and Pastrami. The Club is good too. It's the kind of place where my wife and I can meet for lunch, and have a good conversation. Yeah I can dig it, even if it's just a chain, this location almost feels dare I say, local.

Stephen C.
Always a favorite for lunch or dinner (open until 10:00). Try the Ginormous stuffed potatoes and sweet tea. Great selection of hot/cold sandwiches, soup, and the always left hook nachos. Leaves Panera in the dust and not even in the same league as Subway and Quiznos. Enjoy!

Food is okay. One time went for big nasty with mashed potaoes and it was way over-peppered. The other night as we were sitting down a worker there came to wash off table. People before us dumped ALOT of salt on table and sh brushed it to the floor where we sat. She just left and we wondered if she was comung back. When she brought food we asked her to clean it - she didnt seem too pleased.

I went back and ordered the ruben as the free meal they gave me after the "Frozen Chicken Incident". It was good.Not great...good. I guess the problem I have with McAlister's is that for the prices they charge...the food should be delicious. It should have that "over-stuffed with meat" kind of sandwiches feel. It doesn't. The decor and the room do not match the quality of food. It's more like a "noodles and company" for deli food. Jason's Deli or Udi's has more of the "Deli" atmosphere and food I crave. Maybe King Soopers? I wonder if there are any great deli's in the area? Sounds like another quest......

I have gone to McAllister's on several occasions over the past 1.5 years. It is my go-to spot for fresh food, and food where I can go and get healthy items while my coworkers who like heavier fare can get what they need as well. As others have mentioned, this restaurant is southern-slanted and is sort of cafeteria style. You come to the front, place your order and then they come and bring it to you. They do have a punch card and on your tenth visit, you get a free lunch! Very handy, especially if you come often. I love their new Savannah Salad with brown sugar type dressing. I like that they add new things to the menu and always remember what I like. It is a simple concept---no frills, just nice food in a location where you can gaze out the window and have a nice meal with coworkers or friends.

Had lunch here yesterday after a little shopping. I had the chicken and sausage gumbo with half a BLT sandwich, and my wife had the broccoli cheese soup. The gumbo had lots of chicken and sausage in it, along with rice and okra. There was enough spicy heat in it to be interesting, but not so much you wished you had a beer to wash it down. Very good. The sandwich was on a thick slice of sourdough with plenty of fresh ingredients, and more bacon than you typically find in a full sandwich elsewhere. My wife's soup was rich and creamy with a distinct but mild cheese flavor, and lots of broccoli. We drank southern style sweet tea that was just sweet enough to cut the bitterness but not cloying.

I decided to try this place for lunch one day after a trip to the Home Depot close by. I had a turkey sandwich on sourdough with roasted red peppers, pepper jack cheese, some light mayo, honey mustard, and lettuce and tomato. Everything tasted really fresh and they didn't skimp on anything. I also had the potato salad, which tasted pretty good. The sweetened iced tea was just sweetened iced tea; it wasn't anything to write home about but it was good. They also serve huge baked potatoes, pot roast, paninis and wraps. I think i'll try the baked potato the next time.

Now, they have stopped using chicken and the tortilla chips. And when you request the chicken - they just slop some wet chicken strips onto it. They have impeccable customer service, but someone in the kitchen is messing up.

Just ordered online today and picked up for my coworkers and me. The order was ready when I got there. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the food was great! I will be back.

I enjoy the extensive lunch menu here. I enjoy the easy parking. I enjoy the quick service, even during peak lunch time. I enjoy the cleanliness, even during peak hours. Yep, a lot of goodness in this place. Oh, the portions are not too large, not too small. The venue itself is kind of a pain to drive to, especially now with some road work going on and the shrimp poboy was average at best. But, I will let the average sandwich slide since the last time I came here, my food tasted great. IF you are tired of the same old lunch, this deli has a fun selection of sandwiches, salads, baked potato and soups to liven things up for you. Stop by if you are in the area.

We ate lunch here on May 25th. When I first looked at the menu I was a little concerned about the prices. $6.19 for a baked potato with bacon and cheese. Seemed a little high but when it came to the table I had the largest potato I had ever seen. It was at least 8" long and was absolutely loaded with cheese and bacon. They have a nice selection of teas and serve it with large lemons upon request. Even though we placed our order at the counter, they have servers who bring food to our table. Nice!! Clean restrooms and clean restaurant. We'll go again.

McAlister's is a delicious break from traditional fast food restaurants. First, I have to say they have the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had! Problem is, if I eat a grilled cheese every time I go, my birthday suit may be a little unflattering. So, I had to deviate from my fav and try other things on the menu. Today, I had the chicken tortilla soup and the Savannah chopped salad. The chicken tortilla soup was a bit too spicy. I needed a gallon of water to cool my mouth. But, the salad was lovely. It had grilled chicken, gorgonzola crumbles, dried cranberries, honey roasted almond, and sherry shallot dressing. The chicken, cheese, and dressing were devine. The pungent cheese was balanced perfectly by the smoothness of the dressing. I would have preferred pears and walnuts to cranberries and almonds, but that's just a personal preference. All-in-all, it was a good salad. Things to know: They have a great calorie calculator online. Just wish they had the calories posted in the store.

The store was consistent with other McAlisters we've been to in LA, NC, VA, TN. It was clean, bright and friendly. Kelly, the GM, checked on us and offered beverage refills. Our food came out quickly, but the tortilla soup wasn't hot and the country potato tasted old and was not creamy as much as thick. Over all good experience and we will continue to visit McAlister's as we travel.

Good atmosphere- took a while to get my food but it was noon. I understand it gets busy. Food is larger portioned and listening to other patrons they were loving the larger portioned food for the price. Would have liked faster food for the price though.

OK. Snowy Saturday, 2:45pm. The place was mostly empty, nobody in front of me at the register. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 bowls of soup and 2 sodas. It took nearly 20 minutes to get the food and when it came it was barely hot. My chili had paper chards floating in it and Randy's sandwich had hair in it. The food was VERY mediocre, the service deathly slow and the cleanliness....well, we won't go back. Sigh.

For a "Southern Style" deli, this place is great! We've always had great food here, and the Iced Tea is as good as any you can get anywhere! We highly recommend this place to anybody. While it doesn't compare with a fancy restaurant, in terms of a deli, I rate it 4/5.

Baked Potatos the size of Footballs, ok not that big but damn close! Other then that this is the run of the mill, corporate deli, similar to others with a little southern angle thrown in. AKA Sweet Tea southern style which means a a cup of sugar per cup of tea LOL. Step up to the counter, order your variation of sandwhich chose your side or chips, find a seat eat and leave! The thing that stands out is the baked potato's, I dont know if they put two together to make one huge arse potato but this thing is literally enough for 2-3 people to eat and be fine!

This place used to be great. Now, they always screw up my order. ALWAYS. The quality has gone way down hill. We work down the street so we like to, or used to like to!, get take out from them. They screw the order up every single time. The manager for this place is horrible and cannot keep his people in line. One order, they forgot to put the tortilla strips in our salad. Another order, we paid for a WHOLE muffaletta with double which is very expensive - these people actually charged us for a whole muffaletta and they actually charged us for the cost of double meat on a whole muffaletta and the box we got only had a HALF in it. I could go on. Their food is good, I enjoy it but I'm not going to waste my time at a place that is so incompetent that they screw up every SINGLE ORDER.

I can usually judge a place by it's French Dip....and holy crap this place has a good dip. I just can't tell if it's really just a deli or a full restaurant. The kitchen is huge which makes it feel restaurant-y...but you order at the counter which is deli-ish...not to be confused with dee-lish! The service is pretty quick, but it almost seems like everyone there hates working there. It also seems like the staff turn-over is pretty high. Management might want to take a look at better insentives or motivation...but, who am I to tell them how to run their business? The prices are slightly California-esq, but I'm ok with it because the food quality is there! Big ass sodas out of plastic cups, I don't know why that makes it better, but it does.

I don't like this place. It tries to be a bit cutesy and homespun, I find it contrived and generic. My Tuscan style chicken sandwhich was bland, even when festooned with their greasy sauce. Its faux cozy, like they put wallpaper up in a McDonalds. Perhaps its my predilection to despise "cold cuts on a bun" places. Count me out at Subway's for example. The place is clean and the service quick. But the minions lining up for their rubber-on-a-roll just confuses me.

Was bummed out when the item I wanted, a Chicken Spud, was out. In fact all the Spuds were out and it was only 11:30am. I had the Chicken Caesar wrap with Mac and cheese side, it was ok. I did like that the menu was vast and that there were several different options but when they are out of 1/3rd of the things you want it narrows your choices down a lot.
(2)Mary S.
Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I get the turkey melt more often than not, and it's just about the best sandwich anyone could ask for. Always a reliable favorite!
(5)Ivy M.
This is for the McAlister's in Aurora..... Soups, sandwiches and salads ehh they are okay.. I hear the Spud is really good, but have yet to try it, the regular order of one is the size of a football...

I eat here on lunch break with my coworkers sometimes, and it's always good. It's kind of like a mixture of Panera and Jason's deli. Great lunch combos, baked potatoes, salads, and sandwiches. And friendly service.

Ha ha they have one in Colorado and its right next to work! This place is awesome. You can see from my reviews that I was introduced to one of these in Missouri over the summer, and I was way stoked to find out just today that we had one in town! This place gives you amazing sandwiches, soups, and salads with a touch of southern exposure. You can have sweet tea or any number of drinks, and they all come in oversized cups that are great to not have to refill. Today I had the grilled chicken club that comes along with smoked bacon, honey mustard, and the other standard sandwich fixins that you'd expect from a deli. You also get a pickle and a side. My personal favorite is the mac-and-cheese because it's with real melted cheese, and it reminds me of childhood down south with great grandma's cooking. They'll be seeing a lot more of my face since I know it's here. Check it out and enjoy for yourselves.

Busy at lunch, but a very efficient crew. I have been to several McAlisters in TX, and the food was just as good and the menu diverse. The portions are perfect for lunch and the value is worth it.

Def will be coming back regularly. Casual, healthy, quick. Kids loved it & so did we. Daughter loved baked potato. My salad was good & there were lots of other salads that I would like to try next time.
(5)Amy C.
This is our go-to Sunday lunch place. The baked potatoes are great - I'm partial to the Spud Ole. It's massive though, so I loved when they added the choose two menu. A small salad and half of one of the regular potatoes is perfect. My husband loves their sandwiches and sweet tea.

I'm amazed at the amount of effort chain restaurants will go to, to appear to be a local establishment. I hate all the local sports posters and memorabilia and nonsense you see in say a Chili's or Ruby Tuesday. McAlisters, a deli chain, does the local look much better. Instead of random stuff on the wall, there are actual pictures from the local community. Places I ride pass everyday, like the Aurora Sports Complex for example. The food is pretty good, I like that the portions aren't giant, helps my waste. The menu is fairly comprehensive for a Deli: Sandwich's, Soups & Baked Potatoes. I like the New Yorker: Roast Beef and Pastrami. The Club is good too. It's the kind of place where my wife and I can meet for lunch, and have a good conversation. Yeah I can dig it, even if it's just a chain, this location almost feels dare I say, local.
(4)Stephen C.
Always a favorite for lunch or dinner (open until 10:00). Try the Ginormous stuffed potatoes and sweet tea. Great selection of hot/cold sandwiches, soup, and the always left hook nachos. Leaves Panera in the dust and not even in the same league as Subway and Quiznos. Enjoy!

Food is okay. One time went for big nasty with mashed potaoes and it was way over-peppered. The other night as we were sitting down a worker there came to wash off table. People before us dumped ALOT of salt on table and sh brushed it to the floor where we sat. She just left and we wondered if she was comung back. When she brought food we asked her to clean it - she didnt seem too pleased.

I went back and ordered the ruben as the free meal they gave me after the "Frozen Chicken Incident". It was good.Not great...good. I guess the problem I have with McAlister's is that for the prices they charge...the food should be delicious. It should have that "over-stuffed with meat" kind of sandwiches feel. It doesn't. The decor and the room do not match the quality of food. It's more like a "noodles and company" for deli food. Jason's Deli or Udi's has more of the "Deli" atmosphere and food I crave. Maybe King Soopers? I wonder if there are any great deli's in the area? Sounds like another quest......

I have gone to McAllister's on several occasions over the past 1.5 years. It is my go-to spot for fresh food, and food where I can go and get healthy items while my coworkers who like heavier fare can get what they need as well. As others have mentioned, this restaurant is southern-slanted and is sort of cafeteria style. You come to the front, place your order and then they come and bring it to you. They do have a punch card and on your tenth visit, you get a free lunch! Very handy, especially if you come often. I love their new Savannah Salad with brown sugar type dressing. I like that they add new things to the menu and always remember what I like. It is a simple concept---no frills, just nice food in a location where you can gaze out the window and have a nice meal with coworkers or friends.

Had lunch here yesterday after a little shopping. I had the chicken and sausage gumbo with half a BLT sandwich, and my wife had the broccoli cheese soup. The gumbo had lots of chicken and sausage in it, along with rice and okra. There was enough spicy heat in it to be interesting, but not so much you wished you had a beer to wash it down. Very good. The sandwich was on a thick slice of sourdough with plenty of fresh ingredients, and more bacon than you typically find in a full sandwich elsewhere. My wife's soup was rich and creamy with a distinct but mild cheese flavor, and lots of broccoli. We drank southern style sweet tea that was just sweet enough to cut the bitterness but not cloying.

free wifi, a huge menu and friendly staff...what else does one need? :)
(4)Krista S.
The food is fantastic!!! I would have given it 5 stars but some of the staff can be snobby and I hate that; of course it doesn't deter me from eating there..LOL but it does make it hard for me to give it a full 5 stars. =p

I decided to try this place for lunch one day after a trip to the Home Depot close by. I had a turkey sandwich on sourdough with roasted red peppers, pepper jack cheese, some light mayo, honey mustard, and lettuce and tomato. Everything tasted really fresh and they didn't skimp on anything. I also had the potato salad, which tasted pretty good. The sweetened iced tea was just sweetened iced tea; it wasn't anything to write home about but it was good. They also serve huge baked potatoes, pot roast, paninis and wraps. I think i'll try the baked potato the next time.

Very good sandwiches and great service. Prices a bit high, but worth it. Very friendly staff.
