McAlister's Deli

Soooo I used to eat here without problems for years, but now they are understaffed and have a very cranky kitchen staff. I’ve gotten sick the past couple of times. My brother used to work here and said the potatoes are made separate from the sandwiches so shouldn’t be an issue there. I’ve developed an addiction to the chef salad and always order without croutons and specify allergy…… more than 50% of time there are croutons. I’ll open to check it and not see any and then when I get home find like 1/2 a crouton at the bottom. Just not educating staff on allergens unfortunately. But I’ve brought a GF salad back in for croutons before and manager came up without asking, told kitchen to change gloves and make a new one NO CROUTONS. Very inconsistent.

Great delicious food! Love the gluten free bread 🥪 and other options. 👍🏽😋

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had no help with what was gluten free, the girl at the register told the cook to change his gloves and he rolled his eyes and said something under his breath. After that why would I even want to eat there, I knew he wasn’t going to take the right precautions. I cancelled my order. Horrible service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They looked up ingredients and made recommendations.

I work in Monroe so my GF options are limited when I don't bring lunch but Mcalisters has always been a safe bet for me. I don't get anything that might have cc but I just get a taco salad with veggie chili and never have had a reaction

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.
