Mcalister's Deli - Dayton

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent! However, the issue lies with the value. We spent $50 on two kids' meals and two meals for my wife and myself… we could have gotten a better deal elsewhere. The price for a deli sandwich is way too high.

I absolutely love the Savannah Chopped Salad with Chicken! My parents can't get enough of the Chicken Salad Sandwich on Croissant and the deliciously large Sugar Cookies. This place is amazing. I highly recommend downloading the app to order and skip the long lines. Plus, you can earn free food with points. I got a free Salad tonight and it was absolutely amazing!

Please save this McAlister's! We don't want it to shut down. The odor of spoiled eggs was everywhere in the restaurant. They claim they are unable to obtain any lemons. It was not well-maintained. The employees were dressed casually. Unfortunately, the tea had an unusual taste. There was a time when this was a spotless establishment with fantastic tea. The staff, clad in tidy khakis and polo shirts, was efficient. It used to be exceptional. Please restore this place to its previous greatness.

Had a real mix of good and bad here the other day. It started out poorly, as the payment system they had was being very slow and was awkward even when it was working. I felt bad for the woman working there that had to deal with it. It eventually did work so we could eat. Once the food was out, the sandwiches were still fine as expected. The French dip was my choice, and I’d consider it again if I came back. It was more expensive than I thought it would be even with inflation though. Chili was decent but not great, and the potato soup tasted off as if the milk was a bit old. The sugar cookies are well worth getting, being the soft yet somewhat chewy kind. The mix of service being held back by technical issues, prices higher than some full service restaurants I’ve been to recently, and inconsistent food gets a 3. The good parts were still pretty high up there, and the low points were rather annoying.

Homestyle Lasagna Soup is absolutely delicious! lots of meat and flavor! The Broccoli and Cheddar soup was delicious also. It was thick and creamy!
