When traveling, I visit Mcalisters whenever I get a chance because the gf sandwich and their tea is so good. The business does a great job at educating their staff on gf so it isnt a scene or wait.

Great family friendly deli. Enormous stuffed baked potatoes, salads, nachos, and deli sandwiches on gluten free bread (one dollar extra). Asked about allergy precautions. Food was excellent and place was clean. Service outstanding. And sweet tea with free refills! Would return again.

Newer location with indoor and outdoor (both covered & uncovered) seating. Offer GF bread. The BLTA is a good choice. Both nachos are legal as long as you omit chili. Top with grilled chicken or the ham are both good substitutes. Most of the potatoes are legal, except for the one with beefsteak.

I called this restaurant to see if they had gluten-free available. They said they have gluten-free bread, but none of their deli meat is gluten-free. That does not make sense to me!

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.
