| - It's not bad. It's not spectacular. There are a couple of reasons why I do like McAlister's, though. For one, I'm a "sharer", by nature. I prefer not to order a whole meal of just one item. If we go out to breakfast, my husband KNOWS that 90% of the time, I would love to share 2 things with him (and frequently he will indulge without too much coercion). At McAlister's, they let me share with myself! They have an entree that they call "Choose 2". You may select 2 from any number of half sandwiches, half potatoes (with toppings), small entree salads, or cups of soup. There are TONS of possibilities. I ordered 1/2 horseradish and roast beef sandwich, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup. The soup was rich and pretty tasty without being cloying. I've had the sandwich before and it was pretty good. This time, it wasn't warmed thoroughly, but I really didn't care enough to send it back. That is an example of why it's just middle of the road.
The second reason that I like them is that they offer a "Kids Eat Free" promotion on Tuesday nights. Between the 4 of us, we ordered 2 cups of soup, 2 half sandwiches, a pita pizza, a hot ham & cheese sandwich, a large bag of chips, 2 small bags of Teddy Grahams, and 4 drinks... for $19 after tax.
