| - I've been hittin' up new spots once per week to give new sandwiches a try and McAlister's Deli came up in my Yelp feed. Judging from the reviews from other Yelp'ers, this was a no-brainer.
Their location is right off Bell & the 101 so it's very convenient. Smack dab in the middle of restaurant row tucked into a little strip mall. Very convenient, tons of ample parking and easy access in and out of the parking area.
The restaurant is insanely clean as are the restrooms. Plenty of ample seating and of course, it's a Wednesday evening so I knew that wasn't going to be a problem. There is a cool little area adjacent to the entry with bar stools. Each seat has it's own designated electrical outlet so you can chill out with your phone charger if you're going to do a lot of Yelp'ing and/or get some work done on your laptop or notebook while you're enjoying your meal. More restaurants need to do this and I'm so happy McAlister's did. I think it's important to disconnect while you're enjoying your meal, but Wednesday evenings are for a quick bite and getting some work done. It's nice to see this kind of space at McAlister's.
It wasn't busy as I mentioned earlier and I had already known what I was going to order even before I walked in the door. I perused the menu on my lunch break at work today. It was my first time at their website AND at their restaurant. I wanted to make sure I was going to order the best sandwich possible. And I did. (1) King Club with a side of mac 'n cheese, please!
Looking back at these photos, I've no idea how in the world I ate this thing in its entirety. I don't know if I should even be alive right now. No, seriously. I don't know if I should even be breathing right now. So let me start from the bottom and work my way up to the top, OK? It's a piece of toasted white bread, then some honey mustard, then some ham & turkey and then some Swiss cheese and Sharp cheddar and then some bacon with a bunch of green leaf lettuce and tomatoes and more honey mustard. On top of all that is another pieces of toasted white bread. Now, any normal human being would call that a pretty darn good sandwich, right? ...not McAlister's. On top of that piece of toasted white bread, that entire sandwich STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I am not even joking. It is a colossal club sandwich of epic proportions. Check out my pics! The bread was fresh and toasted to perfection. The meat was juicy and fresh. The lettuce and tomatoes were abundant and also fresh. The cheese was straight outta Wisconsin and all of that deliciousness was piled from here to the Milky Way. You guys. I know. I know it's just a sandwich, but good God! Sooooooo much awesomeness! It is physically impossible to not look like a complete dork as you're shoving this thing into your mouth. Forget the naysayers and forget the fact that when you're about to take your first bite - you're going to wish you could unhinge your lower jaw like a boa constrictor taking on prey much too large for its size.
My behemoth of a sandwich came with a side and I chose the mac 'n cheese. The nice woman behind the counter rattled off like five other items, but when she got to mac 'n cheese, I was like - Whoa there, Tonto! Whoaaaaa! I will take the mac 'n cheese off your hands, if I may. Equally as delicious as my sandwich, although, the proportion size was not as epic, but that's to be expected since it was a side and not a meal.
Anywho, McAlister's is also famous for their baked potatoes which are apparently a meal all unto themselves. AND their iced tea is also something of magnificence which has won awards and Pulitzer Prizes and other famous brass heavyweight awards. I'm totally joking about that last part, but from what I've heard - their iced tea is equally epic. Unfortunately, due to the ridiculous size of this sandwich, I was not fit to try a baked potato or consume any iced tea at this visit. If you've not eaten for weeks, I'd suggest the King Club. If you're looking for a nice, chill, laid back spot with a lot of good food choices, I would highly recommend McAlister's! Soooo good! Kudos to all of you for an awesome meal! I shall return with family and friends!
