when people tell me they like mcalisters it makes me think less of them as a human


I could see why women who are trying to keep a thin figure like it, the small portions and menu would appeal to them

But to men? Face it if you are a dude who chose to eat there...

That place has been a death trap for restaurants as well.

Frick - my Rum House/Olive or Twist/Martins secret of parking behind McCallisters instead of the mud pit might be put on construction hold.

I did not know this:
quote:

McAlister's Deli is a chain of fast casual restaurants founded in 1989 in Oxford, Mississippi by retired dentist Dr. Don Newcomb.

In 2004, after selling McAlister's Deli, Newcomb founded the fast casual restaurant chain Newk's Eatery.


I had a sneaking suspicion that I wouldn't like Newk's. Now I know why.

For some reason in my head I was thinking of Maxwell's Market when I opened this thread. I got almost to the end and couldn't imagine how so many people could hate this place before realizing I'm the dumb dumb.


Yeah, Mcalisters is terrible.

Newks chicken salad is legit.


I used to always get Mcallister club wrap and potatoe salad.
Did seem to get smaller and more exp though

I prefer Jason's deli or newks

Cannot wait to see who takes that location.....Mccalisters was there for a loooonng time. Speaks to the potential of the location IMO.

Hope someone good scoops it up.

The place thrived on Pennington, BR Clinic, OLOL employees looking for quick a lunch. Anything remotely decent and fast will do well there.

Any clue when that McAllister's was built? Was it around in the 90's?

It was the early-mid 2000's I believe.

It's not that great and considering the location something else should be there.

Alx hates hyperbole He always gets upset when people call a place trash or something like that because he's thinking literally trash.

Newks is 100X better


i eat out with clients every day for lunch and have to get salads and sandwiches a lot because if i ate what i wanted id be 300 lbs.

with that said, the following IMO make quality food and not bad of price for that demo

Corner Bakery
Paradise Bakery
Zoeys- portions are small though
Jasons Deli
Panera- use to not like it but its growing on me
Newks
