McAlister's Deli

I went there because had gf I had a sandwich after I had a few bites my sandwich started coming apart. I was left with soggy bread I then ate the meat and cheese. In the past I've eaten here numerous times but the last 3 times food not up to snuff. I may try 1 more time but I've got to get over my last visit. I want to thank u all for your reviews because of y'all I think I'm able to eat out again.

I work a few minutes away, and I eat here on a regular basis. A manager told me they get gluten-free bread in 2-slice packs. It's one dollar up charge for 2 pieces of GF bread. (So, it's normally $1 extra, but they have a few sandwiches like their Muffetta that are gargantuan, and they are made on 8 slices of bread, so that's a $4 up charge. I usually get 2-3 meals out of one, so it's a good deal!) Their gluten-free menu lists everything gluten free and what to watch out for. They're happy to make sandwiches with different sauce or without gravy. Once you realize how short the list of possible gluten sources is, it is nice to walk in and have a nearly-full menu to choose from. Unlike many restaurants that have limited menus, most items they sell have no gluten issues other than the bread the sandwiches are served on. Switch bread, and most of the menu is GF. My wife loves their potatoes, both as a side and as a meal, and my son loves their chili. They often have GF soup, and they're always happy to check for you. I have gluten allergies, and my son is Celiac. We often visit McAllister's restaurants while traveling, and we have always had good food, good service, and no cross-contamination issues. And, again unlike many other places, they have cards for freebies, GF or not, after you but a certain number of meals or cups of tea. These are honored at all McAllister's.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place. They have gluten free bread that is also dairy free, so I am able to get a good sandwich still. Their staff is also bet friendly and helpful when it comes to checking the ingredients and letting you know what's safe.

From VA visiting the area. Loved their baked potatoes. Precaution was take.

I had a gluten free sandwich and the bread was good. It was soft and didn’t fall apart. There also salads and baked potatoes that are gluten free. The menu has an icon to show which items are gluten free. None of the soups or desserts are gluten free, sadly.

Absolutely amazing. They asked if it were an allergy or preference and when I told them I had celiacs they immediately told the kitchen. These sandwiches are amazing. The bread is so good. Highly recommended.
