I've always had a difficult time reviewing these types of places. I mean, they're practically all clones of each other. McAllister's is your typical cookie-cutter deli that would fit in well at any suburban strip mall or airport terminal. Soups, sandwiches, salads, cookies . . . yeah, yeah. I know the drill.
I had the ham and cheese toastie, while my girlfriend ordered the chicken salad sandwich. We both ordered sides of broccoli cheese soup and I threw in a cup of mac and cheese for good measure.
Both sandwiches were okay and pretty much on par with what you'd find at any one of the hundred or so other places that offer the same choices. Portions were a bit small for the price. The mac and cheese was actually decent, especially in comparison to the god-awful sludge I had at a barbeque place recently. The soup was your usual stuff.
Thankfully, the chocolate chip cookie we split was free via Yelp check-in, because it was a flat-out disgrace. Enough for me to drop them to two stars, even! They are baked in house, but it appears that they only had them in the oven for five minutes. They were incredibly doughy, with very little evidence that they were even baked at all.
Sadly, I don't see this place being worthy of a repeat. But at least we gave them a try, I guess.
