★★★★★ 5.0 kelly patrick schweitzer · Oct 2025

It was my 1st visit. There are a lot of food options. This visit I opted for the 1/2 honey BBQ spud & 1/2 grilled chicken club sandwich. I will go back and try other offerings. The dining area seems spacious. I do like the privacy dividers on the paetial walls separating the tables. Very clean feeling.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Travis Copple · Mar 2026

Overpriced for what you get. Two small half sandwiches that don’t even equal six inches is $12. I love peach tea, but it’s definitely middle of the line. Placed an online order and everything was correct, which is what the average 3 stars here represents. Seems like most McAllisters are like this now.

I had never heard of this place before my dad took me. Wonderful sandwiches and even better customer service, knocked my socks off. I got the Angus Club and was very surprised on how delicious it was, as the order was completed within minutes. If you've never been there, I recommend you go!

This is an order at the counter and then seat yourselves type of place. Once seated, your food is delivered. Sami took out order at the counter.. It was our first visit, and she was patient and helpful, answering all questions. Once at our table, she checked in with us a couple of different times. We were checked on and helped no less than 3 times during our lunch. A+++ service and the food was delicious!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Scott Griffis · Apr 2018

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Kids meals 99¢, as a parent of two children that is music to my ears. The location of this place is good and the dining area is quite roomy and nice in appearance. The food was very yummy and there were plenty of delicious choices on the menu. The prices were great and the food good quality. We will definitely be back soon! Update: If ketchup is an essential for your sandwich enjoyment like it is for me, be prepared to be disappointed at times. It would seem there is no guarantee that everyone who eats here gets ketchup . Also, it is a little annoying getting handed full cups without lids at the checkout when you are ordering for a bunch of people and there is no tray to help you carry them... Lids are available but you gotta take a walk to go get
