McAlister's Deli — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

I feel that McAlister’s Deli always hit the mark and provides a decent dining experience each time that I go—even for those who are Gluten-sensitive! The service was nice and quick, and the inside area always seemed to be very clean, too.

At this location, ordering always felt very simple and efficient. I appreciated that when I and/or my partner order a Gluten-sensitive option that they always asked whether it was an allergy or preference for either of us. For my partner, it is an allergy, and they have not been glutened here. Also, it did not take long at all for the food to be prepared!

I usually got the Gluten-sensitive Sweet and Smoky Chicken Sandwich. I have also tried the Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Spud as well, but I preferred the Sandwiches usually! I addition to that, I tried the regular Chili and Veggie Chili. My partner always got the Gluten-sensitive New Yorker Sandwich. We both get a Bag of Chips (Sea Salt), and it paired nicely with our sandwiches! We liked adding additional pepper to the bag, too. When we brought along my sibling before, they got the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich and a Cup of Mac and Cheese. However, we both love the Chicken Tortilla Soup and sometimes got that instead!

I feel that the Gluten-sensitive Sweet and Smoky Chicken Sandwich always satisfied with its well-cooked chicken. The Sweet and Smoky Barbecue Sauce paired well with it and the other ingredients, and I would easily recommend this to almost anyone! I thought that the Chili and Veggie Chili (which is a Gluten-sensitive option too) made great sides too! It easily made that meal at the time more filling—which is great when I felt particularly hungry.

The Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Spud was a good amount of food for the price! I thought that it had a lot of good flavor combinations and was quite delicious too! As for the Chicken Tortilla Soup I would highly recommend trying it if you can! It was not pictured here, but it does come with Tortilla Chips! It was a bit salty in taste (which does make sense), but it was satisfyingly so and did not take away from its overall flavors. It was easily one of my favorite things at McAlister’s Deli! I got this when I was not feeling well, and it really helped regain my appetite that time.

I think that McAlister’s Deli will always be a great regular dining spot for lunch or dinner whether that is with ordering gluten-sensitive options or not! I and anyone else I brought have never had an issue with eating here. I look forward to the next...

The restaurant is good theirs a couple of mean lady's but they just could of been going threw a rough patch with there personal life & probody don't mean to bring it to work but other that it's a wonderful place to work. Please don't let anyone of those folks because it could of been a rough patch for all of us that could of had a bad experience with other jobs like I'd did & even though I'd haven't been back with them to work because of this coronavirus & was looking for work back in retail stores but a different company but this coronavirus won't stop spreading around the United States & I'd can't afford to get my spouse & I'd sick with this extremely bad coronavirus & I'm hoping & praying that the government once Biden takes office that we all can get a vaccine for this virus ASAP because there's to many people dying from this virus & I'd only been out of the hospital for a year & 2 weeks from a 7.6 Enlarge Brain Tumor that the small amount of the tumor don't grow back into the right side of my brain that caused extremely bad migraine headaches. I'd hope I'd haven't upset anyone in anyway because I'd really don't want anyone to be upset nor mad & this is way I'm editing to the message I'd had written when I'd was sick & sending out many apologizes & many prayers to all the folks @ McAlister Deli Restaurant here in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma & hope & prayers that everyone is in good health & staying safe & being extremely careful out there with this extremely bad virus. It was probody just a bad year for all of us @ that time frame. Sincerely Mary! God...

I have been coming to Mcallisters Deli at least once a week, I absolutely love the food and healthy selections they have.

What provoked my abysmal review today, is the outright racist staff. I placed an order under my name Ranan Cheng, and have put an image of my order below. The manager working the front cashiers asked me if I was there for pick up, and I responded “yes, under last name Cheng, C-H-E-N-G”.

He proceeded to head to the kitchen counter, where they mixed up my name which caused the manager to return to me to ask, “sorry did you say Chang or Cheng?”. Which is completely valid in their clarification (even though I was one out of a total of three customers in the store).

Anyway, it was what happened next that is textbook unprofessional and discriminatory. The manager returns to the kitchen counter after the clarification with me, and I hear from inside the kitchen, “Ahh Ching Chang Chong….hahahahah.” The manager just smirks.

I will let the people form their own opinions regarding my interaction here. Maybe being from New York, I should not be surprised about this in Oklahoma City and the state of Oklahoma. And maybe in 2025, that is just the normalcy. But I digress.

I personally found the whole experience extremely uncomfortable, and frankly insulting and offensive. Most of all, it is immensely saddening that an establishment that I have loved coming to will now be strange and unwelcoming to a person of my race.

Thank you to all those who took the time to...
