Mcalister's Deli

While shopping at the mall I decided to stop by for a take out lunch with my niece. She ordered the south west avocado chicken salad and I got a cranberry club with a bowl of chicken and dumplings, and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was delicious and so was the potato salad. The chicken and dumplings was tasty too, it had chunks of white meat chicken in it with real dumplings. The dumplings were not gummy and they were cooked all the way through. They could have used some extra seasoning, salt and pepper I added that. Try the lemonade too, it was really good. All and all we really enjoyed our lunch.

I eat McAlister's alot and this location was subpar on the day I went. First I arrived at waited at the register while several associates looked out the window, walked by the register, and never said anything to me. I ordered the spud max which comes with shredded cheese on the potato. They brought out my spud max with Rotel cheese on it. It was full of tomatoes, onions, and I couldn't even find the meat that was supposed to come with my potatoes. Not sure why Rotel would be on a spud as no sounds on the menu call for Rotel. Prob will skip this location in the future

Placed an order online that included 2 meals, 2 cookies, and 2 drinks. When I picked up the order there were no cookies in the bag and the drinks were in much smaller cups than their usual ones. I asked the manager if they had changed their cups and he stated “yea” and promptly walked off although everyone dining in had the usual much larger cups. Another employee stated they were out of the lids for the usual cups so that’s why I was given those. There was no urgency in providing me the missing cookies, which were hard when I revived them. The manager is terrible and of no assistance to anyone.

Lunch at McAlisters today. 230pm late lunch. Had a very hard time finding a clean table. We finally settled for one with just a few crumbs on it. Most of the tables were not bussed. Lady taking our order was very nice and very helpful. The tension behind the counter was thick. The energy was off. The wait for our food was about 20 min. My daughter and I got salads. They didn't come with dressing we ordered. I went back up to ask for our dressing and was giving attitude about it. You could tell he was having a bad day. The front of the kitchen and rear of the kitchen were at odds with each other. You could tell by the looks that were given. Not sure I would eat at this location on Congareee again.
