Mcalister's Deli - Roanoke

UPDATE 10/15/21: I returned for dinner, and it was my son's first experience here. We enjoyed a wonderful, fresh, and healthy meal with plenty of options. I had my favorite dish: a half sandwich paired with a bowl of soup. If you're in the vicinity, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

I truly enjoy McAlister's Deli and usually visit the location in Waynesboro, VA. However, while traveling for work in Roanoke, I decided to order dinner from there. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The quality of the meal was not up to standard. I received a tomato cucumber salad that looked quite different from what I usually expect. The photo on the left shows what I was given, while the one on the right depicts what the salad typically looks like. I've noticed a significant decline in the quality of takeout food lately, which is really unfortunate. I should also mention that the restaurant was nearly empty when I placed my order. McAlister's, you can do better!

I ordered a wrap and potato salad, and both were outstanding! The customer service was excellent too!

The wait was long. We enjoyed the raspberry pecan salad and the steamed broccoli. The French dip was bland and brownie/cookie desert was okay. Our order set in the window for a couple of minutes before being bagged to carry out.

Food tasted good, table side ordering is very nice. I think my sandwich meat was inadvertently switched from corned beef to ham. I enjoyed it but i have a bad reaction to eating pork and didn't catch until later.
