Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In town to visit parents and grandkids, went to eat here after a football game. My wife and I and our grandchildren all ordered the French dip with a bowl of fruit. After ordering and being seated, our food came out soon afterward. All staff...wore masks, our waiter was very friendly and often came by our table to see if we needed anything and all was good. Sandwich was delicious and fruit fresh and cold. Avoid the crowded nearby restaurants and have a good, quick lunch at McAllisters.More

This used to be a top notch sandwich place. Today our take out order was pretty skimpy. The baked potato included no butter or cheese or other dressing. The vegetable soup was basically just broth. The BLT did not include chips or pickle. And they...call this place a deli?More

We always enjoy our visits to McAlister's. They have a great selection to choose from. Their potato soup is awesome! Their iced tea is the best! Great customer service, fast and friendly. They strive to make your visit a good one.

We eat lunch here often. The food is always excellent and the service is wonderful! You need to walk up to the counter to order but they bring the food to you and check back on you a couple of times. If you need to...eat and get back to work this is the place for you! It's always fresh and delicious!More

I haven't cared much for a sandwich, but McAlister's has CHANGED MY MIND😍. Not many places open after hurricane Harvey in Port Arthur, Texas, but McAlister's was open and going strong. I ordered the McAlister's club and my son had the pastrami and soup, but...I'm sure all of the food there is excellent . Our food was amazing‼️‼️👍👍👍👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I will never feel the same about a sandwich again. McAlister's was a mind changer. Sandwiches there are works of art. They look beautiful as well as being delicious. Oh yes, and the sweet ice tea was just as good. We ate at McAlister's 3 times that week and will be finding my nearest McAlister's when we return home. I'm ready to try all of their menu😍.More

I consider myself an expert at rating club sandwiches, Cole slaw and potato salad. McAlister's in Port Arthur has an excellent Club sandwich. Potato salad wasn't bad, and the Cole slaw, well, it was lacking that Cole slaw flavor. But the sandwich was one of...the best I've ever had. Great service, and quick getting the food out. I'll be going back for sure.More
