Mcalister's Deli - Artesia

Placed a to go order with door dash. The salad was great tasting as was the broccoli and cheese soup. The salad was big enough to fill you up. About the only gluten free options available. It was already hard enough to find an open place to eat in town, but this was one of the best salads I've had from McAlister's in a long time. It was perfectly paired with their honey mustard.

My dad ordered a Garden Fresh Turkey Sandwich, 2 fruit cups, a Reuben, a Four Cheese Meal, a McAllisters Club Wrap, and a gallon of blackberry tea. When we got our food back, the Garden Fresh Turkey sandwich had NO greens, it was just cheese and turkey. The fruit cups are tiny as hell and barely have any fruit in them. And the blackberry tea doesn't even taste like blackberry, it tastes like flat tea. Never eating there again, talk about lazy service.

We are visiting NM and decided to stop at McAlister?s for lunch. We ordered our meals with drinks. The drinks were watered down and we asked for a substitution drink. Those weren?t sufficient either. On another note, I ordered a side salad and it had a hair in it. I lost my appetite. This turned out to be more of an inconvenience rather than a nice relaxing meal with my family.

I only gave 4 stars because they were apparently using an old menu so there were a few things they said they didn?t have anymore. Oh well. Not a huge deal. The food was good. The drinks are large and very good. Staff was nice.

Food was good, staff was nice. Only reason for 4 stars is the mac and cheese is absolute trash. Its just a bowl of watered down cheese with 9-10 noodles at the bottom. We spent a lot and ordered a lot of different things. Not knocking ANY of the other menu items except the m&c. Don’t order that chit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20
