  McAllister's on County Line and Emerson is a newer location but is already always busy!  
  
  Stopped in for lunch during the week and by 1210 there was already a line forming.  
  
  The restaurant is overall clean and updated. The restroom could have used some tidying up (TP on the floor, no paper towel) but may have happened due to the lunch crowd. They do offer a baby changing station.  
  
  I decided to go with the ol' faithful "pick two" lunch option. Pick two is a sure way of winning since there are so many combinations to make. First pick was ultimate nachos with veggie chili topped off with my second choice of a half jalapeno crunch turkey sandwich. I also got my kiddo a kids mac n' cheese that came with apple sauce.  
  
  Food was hand delivered with a smile to our table. Everything warm and freshly made.  
  
  Nachos-let's just say I love that McAllisters offers veggie chili!! It's so good. Things could have been more evenly distributed over the nachos and maybe a tad more chili as the other chips were all dry.  
  
  Jalapeno crunch turkey sandwich-I missed the "crunch" part somewhere. Someone heavy handed the mayo during the making of this sandwich. It was very overpowering. I imagine something spicy when jalapeno is mentioned, this wasn't hot by any means.  
  
  Kid devoured the mac n' cheese!! No easy mac here! They also offer horizon milk which is a nice option for those that prefer an organic milk.  
  
  I would return to this McAllister's with no problems. Easy parking in their private lot. They also offer a nice large patio seating area. All seating is first come first serve at pretty much all McAllister's locations. Gluten Free bread is available at a small upcharge for those in need.

  Stopped by here on my way back to Nashville from Michigan. Got the Ruben, it was okay. Not bad. The potato salad was the side we chose and it tasted more like mayo than potatoes which was really overwhelming. I couldn't finish that. Also we were the only ones inside and it took almost 20 min to get our food for some reason. Just sat there on the counter when they're suppose to bring it to the table, which is why they give you a number to take to your table.

  Went with my family of 5. It's one of the biggest and definitely nicest McAlister's I have been in. My father-in-laws salad was wrong, not sure how that even happens. I asked and paid for a sweet peach tea and was given an unsweetened tea. My daughters chicken tenders were so burnt that I could barely cut them up. The pickles don't exist anymore. You get 1 with your meal. I have the reward app and the employee told me that I couldn't scan it? Not sure what the deal was. Just an okay visit. Won't go back to this newer location. I like the one off 135 the most!

  Nice location right off of the highway on county line. There is plenty of parking and seating inside. The floor was real sticky and we went at 11 after they opened so maybe they just mopped. The staff all greeted us and the cashier who helped us was a little loud and not friendly- she kind of rushed us through our order and there was no reason to since there was no one behind us. This location was a little different since the cashiers do not handle the drinks anymore and they have a station for it. The drink station also gives you pickles upon asking. There is a separate section for crackers, sauces, etc. Our food took awhile but it was delicious. They offer many types of generic food but I love the spuds. There usually is staff coming around for drink refills but I had to get up to get mine- after I did that- someone did come to the table and get my fellow lunch peers refills. At one point, we heard the cashier who served us yelling out and it was disruptive to our lunch. The manager did stop by our table and ask us how it was and she was friendly. If you are looking for a nice meal- I would get it to go!

  Work catered this event so this may be a one off. I've been to McAlister's before and thought it was ok, in a world of Panera, Newks, McAlister's seems to fall into that same mix.
  
  Soup was pretty good, slightly watery but still decent, sandwiches were to say the least bready, threw away two sections and stacked it with another just to make a decent one. Chips were kettle style, sweet tea was a little too much for me but that was a personal preference.
  
  Not my thing, again it was a catered event but it was from this locale, maybe the live version would be different but having been there before I doubt it.
