McAlister's Deli

OK, after 11 yrs we got back to this new location. Lots and lots of competition for casual lunches in Collin county. Pretty sure this McAlister's was located several blocks north of current location. I think they occupy to old Container Store location. Anyway great food and service. We both got the pick two and it was plenty of food. Lots of other customers there for lunch and take out. Don't be concerned about ratings on Yelp. Google reviews much better and higher star rating. Very nice interior layout. Just like before but with new stuff. See photos. Hot sunny days try to park on north side for shade without blocking take out parking spots.

Usually great experience. Lately they’ve been a bit overwhelmed and shorthanded. Service is still good but the timing is taking a bit of a hit. Today’s sandwich seemed to take a hit too. A bit burnt. All in all good though. Update: I was craving their blt again today and made another order. The pickup line was even crazier this time. It was so backed up. But one thing I will say, Chris who I assume is the manager, was working his but off! Running back and forth and still being friendly and professional. The customers need to learn how to speak up, he’d call names and they wouldn’t say anything, then he start to bring it back to the back and would have to go get it and bring it back just because they didn’t speak up the first time. But anyways I still like the quality of food I just have t

I hate bugs, specially in my food. I ordered delivery from this location almost every week. Until last week (Oct 2025) a HUGE bug was in my salad. Not acceptable! I did received a refund. But sadly i won’t be ordering from here again.

This is the first time I’ve been to this place since about 2014. The Pecanberry Salad with multicolored peppers, and cucumbers tasted amazing! The salad was larger portion than expected, and the fat free raspberry vinaigrette tasted perfect! It wasn’t to sweet or sour. I also got the, Grilled Chicken sandwich from the , Craveable Classic Sandwich section of the menu, and it tasted perfect on the croissant it comes with. The lemonade with added peach puree and strawberry puree tasted amazing! I definitely will be going back more often after eating inside for the first time!

The Reuben was nice but needs more dressing. I've been hunting for a good potato soup around town but they are all bland and thickened with corn starch or something worse. Good potato soup doesn't need that. The potato soup at McA's was also disappointing, artificially thickened, and could have come from Kroger and tasted about the same.
