The McAlister's Deli menu built its name on generous deli sandwiches, oversized baked potatoes and a tea so well known the menu simply calls it Famous. Around those anchors sits a full lineup of fresh salads, soups, wraps, sides, desserts and drinks. One caution before you rely on any number here: each restaurant prices its menu locally, so the figures in this guide are current reference prices — a guide to what you might pay, not a fixed national price list. Short answer: McAlister's serves signature clubs and deli sandwiches (roughly $9.49–$11.49), Giant Spuds ($5.39–$8.09), soups and chili (cups from $3.59), entrée salads (about $8.19–$13.29), wraps, sides, cookies and its Famous Sweet Tea (around $2.99). Exact prices depend on the restaurant, so confirm on your local ordering page.
The McAlister's Deli Menu, Section by Section
Below is a walk through the main categories, using dishes documented across McAlister's online ordering and recent 2026 menu references.
Signature Sandwiches and Clubs
Sandwiches are the heart of the menu. Expect classic deli builds, club sandwiches and specialty options built on roast beef, turkey and ham.
| Menu Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| McAlister's Club™ | Wheat bread with roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, Applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar, Swiss, lettuce, tomatoes, honey mustard and mayo | $10.49 |
| King Club | A bigger club-style build with extra turkey, ham, bacon and cheese | $11.49 |
| New Yorker (Reuben) | Corned beef or turkey with Swiss, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing on grilled rye | $10.99 |
| Memphian® | Roast beef, smoked turkey, bacon and cheddar with a signature sauce | Reference varies |
| French Dip | Roast beef with au jus for dipping | $9.99 |
| McAlister's Club | The signature club: turkey, ham, bacon and cheese layered together | $9.49 reference |
The McAlister's Club is the sandwich the chain is known for, and the French Dip covers the roast-beef fans. References show sandwich prices can move quite a bit between restaurants, so check your location's price before you order.
Classics and Wraps
Beyond the signatures there is a set of classic sandwiches, and the catering menus document several wraps as well — roasted turkey, Black Angus roast beef, Black Forest ham and a veggie sandwich among them.
| Menu Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Roasted Turkey & Provolone | Roasted turkey with provolone | Location dependent |
| Black Angus Roast Beef & Cheddar | Cheddar paired with Black Angus roast beef | Location dependent |
| Black Forest Ham & Swiss | Swiss cheese with Black Forest ham | Location dependent |
| The Veggie | A vegetable-focused deli sandwich | Location dependent |
| McAlister's Club Wrap | The signature club, rolled up as a wrap | Location dependent |
| Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap | Grilled chicken with Caesar-style ingredients and dressing in a wrap | Location dependent |
| Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap | Turkey, bacon and ranch in wrap form | Location dependent |
| Veggie Wrap | A vegetable-focused wrap | Location dependent |
| Southwest Chicken Wrap | Chicken with Southwest-style flavors, wrapped | Location dependent |
Official catering information confirms these wraps and sandwiches are current offerings, though catering prices and in-restaurant prices are not the same thing.
Giant Spuds: The Other Specialty
The Giant Spuds are the second pillar of the menu — full-size baked potatoes loaded with different toppings, hearty enough to stand in for a sandwich.
| Giant Spud | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Justaspud® | The plain baked potato | $5.39 |
| Cheese Spud | Cheese over a baked potato | $6.09 |
| Bacon Spud | Bacon-topped potato | $6.59 |
| Veggie Spud | Cheese and vegetable toppings | $6.09 |
| Spud Ole' | Chili, cheese and jalapeños loaded on top | $6.49 |
| Spud Max™ | A loaded build of ham, bacon and cheese | $7.39 |
| Grilled Chicken Spud | Grilled chicken over the potato | $6.99 |
| Black Angus Roast Beef Spud | Black Angus roast beef as the topping | $8.09 |
These figures come from a recent menu-price reference and will not be identical everywhere. A separate 2026 reference lists some spuds higher, which is exactly why the location you select changes the final price you see.
The Spuds People Talk About
Two stand out. The Spud Max stacks ham, bacon and cheese over the potato, while the Spud Ole goes the chili route with cheese and jalapeños. Both turn a baked potato into a full meal.

Pairing Soup With Half a Sandwich
One smart way to order is a Choose 2-style combination. The official ordering system pairs a half sandwich with a salad or a cup of soup, and the documented catering version includes a pickle spear and a cookie.
A current official catering reference shows:
| Combination | Price |
|---|---|
| Classic Choose 2 Box | $12.39 |
| Signature Choose 2 Box | $13.39 |
The Classic box offers choices such as Roasted Turkey & Provolone, Black Angus Roast Beef & Cheddar, The Veggie and Black Forest Ham & Swiss, with soups including Cheddar Broccoli, Chicken Tortilla, Chili, Country Potato and Veggie Chili.

What is available can vary by item and location.

Sides are how you build a bigger meal around a sandwich, salad, soup or spud.
| Side | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Potato Salad | Southern-style, with a creamy mustard and egg dressing | $3.29–$17.99* |

*These prices appear on an official McAlister's catering page, so they may reflect catering quantities rather than a regular single restaurant portion.
Desserts
What is offered for dessert depends on the restaurant and how you order. Menus and catering materials document cookies and assorted dessert selections.
| Dessert | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Assorted Cookie | A selection of McAlister's cookies | Available in documented meal combinations |

Drinks and the Famous Tea
Drinks matter here — especially the tea. Recent menu references put the Famous Sweet Tea at around $2.99, though restaurant prices vary.
For bigger groups, McAlister's sells drinks by the gallon. One official catering location currently lists gallon beverages at $11.99, with breakfast beverage gallons priced separately.
| Beverage | Reference Price |
|---|---|
| Famous Sweet Tea | Around $2.99 |
| Gallon Beverage | $11.99* |

Kids and Group Options
McAlister's has meal combinations and catering choices that work well for groups. Children's selections and prices, however, can change from one location to the next, so confirm any kids-menu price on the local ordering page.
Feeding a crowd? The official catering menu includes sandwich trays, salad-and-spud bundles, sandwich-and-salad bundles and other group formats.
Why Prices Change From Place to Place
The single most important thing to understand about McAlister's pricing is that there may not be one nationwide price for a given item. The ordering pages make you select a location before showing prices and availability, and official catering pages show noticeably different prices from one restaurant to another.
So use the numbers in this guide as reference figures, not a promise of what every McAlister's will charge. Taxes, location, portion size, promotions, delivery fees and catering quantities can all move the final total.

Finding a McAlister's Near You and Ordering
Searching for a McAlister's Deli near you? The most accurate menu and prices come from selecting your specific restaurant before you order. That matters most for sandwiches, salads, spuds and combination meals, because the online ordering pages can show different prices at different locations — the official catering pages even tell customers to select a location to see pricing and availability.
Takeout, delivery and catering also depend on the individual restaurant and the ordering channel. Current catering menus include sandwich trays, salad options, spud bundles and individually packaged meals.
The Bottom Line
McAlister's menu is built around deli sandwiches, giant baked potatoes, soups, salads, wraps, sides, desserts and beverages. Signature items — the McAlister's Club, Spud Max, Spud Ole and Famous Sweet Tea — give the food menu its identity, while salads, soups and Choose 2 combinations give you more ways to put a meal together.
If you are researching McAlister's Deli menu prices, remember they are location-dependent. The reference prices here are a useful starting point, but check the local online ordering menu for the final price, availability and customization options before you place an order.
