McAlister’s Deli (Murfreesboro) a Slice of the ‘90s
The thing about medium-sized chains is that when first exposed to one of their locations, most people will assume that the store isn’t even part of a chain. That certainly was my impression when first I walked through the door of McAlister’s. In fact, it wasn’t until months later when I met someone who worked at one of their other locations that I realized that McAlister’s wsa a chain at all. Their location did nothing to tip me off that I was in a chain location, and boy am I glad of it.
The first interesting thing I noticed about the store was the fact that there were no digital order taking machines. Sure, they had cash registers, but they had the kind that amounted to a calculator affixed to a cash drawer, not a fancy-dancy computer setup.
The food was amazing, too. Personally, I’m used to the dollar menu at whatever fast food restaurant I happen to patronize in a given day, so McAlister’s prices, for me, are a once-or-twice a month thing — not killer, but not cheap, either. That said, the product easily justifies the price every time for me.
Oh, and speaking of the food . . . the menu is massive. It probably would take weeks of eating three squares a day at McAlister’s to chew through the whole thing, and by the time you finished, you’d probably have to catch up on some new, local or seasonal dish.
McAlister’s Deli can be found in real life at 1624 Memorial Boulevard, or online at www.McAlistersDeli.com .
