McAlister’s Deli And Restaurant To Open First Location In Bucks County

WARRINGTON, PA — The former Burger King on Easton Road in Warrington is being transformed into Bucks County’s first McAlister’s Deli Restaurant And Sandwich Shop. It will be the Georgia-based company’s third location in Pennsylvania when it opens this spring.

McAlister’s is a fast-casual restaurant chain with more than 500 restaurants in 29 states. It is known for its genuine southern hospitality, sandwiches, spuds, soups and its famous sweet tea.

In addition to dine-in and take-out service, McAlister’s offers catering with a selection of sandwich trays, box lunches, desserts, a hot spud bar and more.

Nearly three decades ago, a dentist from Oxford, Mississippi had a vision to turn an abandoned movie-set diner into a small, yet charming, neighborhood restaurant and gathering place.

That vision became a reality when the first McAlister’s opened its doors in 1989. The 1989 menu would still feel familiar today packed with all the craveable sandwiches, spuds and salads the eatery is known for in 2023 – and of course its famous McAlister’s Sweet Tea.

“Our food is our foundation - we wouldn’t be here without the 13 layers of our McAlister’s Club or our giant spuds covered with your favorite toppings,” says the eatery’s website. “Our goal is to serve handcrafted food and delicious sweet tea that is simple and satisfying – for every palette, even mom’s pickiest eater. We take familiar flavors and add the special McAlister’s touch that you won’t find anywhere else.”

McAlister’s, which also has locations in King of Prussia and State College in Pennsylvania, is known for its big deli sandwiches, delicious soups and its southern sweet tea.

Some of its more popular offerings include its fresh seasonal salads; their bread bowl soups; its giant spuds with various toppings; and their cold and hot deli sandwiches, including its popular club sandwiches (grilled chicken, black Angus and its McAlister’s Club); black Angus roast beef and cheddar sandwich; ham and cheese melt; the New Yorker; and its Reuben and Rachel sandwiches, which come with a side of potato salad and a pickle.

They also offer a half soup and a half sandwich deal.

McAlister’s also serves one of the best restaurant teas (sweet and unsweetened) in the industry with lemon upon request. And desserts include cake, cookies and cheesecake.

Its restaurants are known for its friendly service, clean and relaxing atmosphere, affordable, good-sized servings and a good value for the money.
