McAlister’s Deli

The cleanest McAllister’s deli I’ve been in!
They have a playground area on the east side and kids are coming in and out! This store is right in the heart of Norman on main street! They are staffed up for a full house. We were there when it wasn’t a full house so they might of been a little too attentive!!!
We had 2 salads and 2 iced teas, $ 23!
The savanna chop salad had dried cranberries, Gorgonzola cheese, honey roasted almonds, tomatoes, cucumbers along with grilled chicken breast and the dressing was Sherry shallot! $ 7.39
The south west Cobb had fire roasted corn and poblano pepper relish, guacamole, cheddar jack cheese, tomatoes, tortilla chips and I went with the chipotle ranch dressing! $ 7.39

This is a chain of restaurants in at least Oklahoma. It is consistently good and has never been a bad experience. There are no real negatives other than a bit pricier than other lunch places. I usually enjoy a sandwich and their popular sweet tea.

I usually love Mcallisters but this one is crap! I found a fly in my salad after I had already eaten some. I mean it looked like it had been in there for awhile. Really disappointed and people at the counter FYI look presentable not coughing in your hand as you take an order. Nasty place

Honestly, I really didnt like this place. I gave it a couple trys and wasnt thrilled. The first experience was just okay, the second was also just ok and the third was horrible. The third and final time our food was just a mess and my husbands sandwich was just sad. It was literally a piece of roast beef thrown on bread with a wilted piece of lettuce and a not so great slice of tomato. He didnt eat it. My sandwich was a new special they had it was a mess, I could barely pick it up and eat without all the insides falling out and the dressing running down my hand. I also find it pricey for the quality. Id much rather go to Panera.

So, I really do love McAlister’s, but I normally go to the one on Western as I work right by it. I decided to go to this one today with my husband and let him try it. I was very embarrassed after talking it up so much and then receiving horrible service and mediocre food. Our sandwiches were luke warm, my salad was warmer the my sandwich. Everything was flavorless. I was really disappointed and I don’t think we will ever go to the location again.
I wish the quality of food was consistent from store to store.

I have been coming here for the past 5 years and I haven’t ever been disappointed. The food is above average and the service is excellent. I had the choose 2: bacon spud+chicken, and a cup of chili it definitely hit the spot on a cold night. The sweet tea was amazing, just as they promote.

Finally got to have dinner with the hubby with us. I swear he works too much. Anyhoo, he let me decide on where to go. He is not very adventurous like me and tries to stay safe by going to ”chain” restaurants versus anything new. Boring, I know, but that’s just how he is.
Anyway, he mentioned here. When I lived in College Station, TX there was one there and I remembered they had good tea and salads. So I said sure.
The hubby ordered the Chicken Fajita Spud & sweet tea, I ordered the soup and salad (country potato and caesar) w/​sweet tea and the kiddos got grilled cheese sandwiches and waters. I liked how they gave the kids Teddy Grahams with their meal. My salad was good, but the soup I found to be «blah». It needed more flavor, but then again, it is potato soup. My hubby liked his meal, but being a good boy, only ate half. He’s trying to lose more weight. ;-)
One thing — they bring out your meal to you along with utensils, but they didn’t bring napkins???
Anyhoo, the food was good. The restaurant was clean and the girls working there were quick even though it was super busy. I do plan on going back… love that sweet tea!

We were looking Indian food on a very short lunch break, and ended up here, so as you can imagine, we were disappointed. Still, given how dramatic the disappointment could have been, I am happy to say that this fell only partly short of our expectations. I got gumbo (which was as genuine as you would expect in Oklahoma) in what was allegedly a bread bowl but bore a closer resemblance to a starchy marshmallow. Still, the salads my friends got looked even more dubious, so I think I made the right choice.
If you haven’t been traveling too much to be able to take it, I would stick with the sandwiches.
