McAlister's Deli Opening First Location In Warrington

WARRINGTON, PA — McAlister’s Deli will open its first restaurant in Bucks County on March 11 at the entrance leading to the Regal Theatre located off of Route 611.

This will be the Georgia-based company’s third location in Pennsylvania when it opens its doors at 11 a.m. with a ribbon cutting organized by the BuxMont Chamber of Commerce.

McAlister’s is a fast-casual restaurant chain with more than 500 restaurants in 29 states. It is known for its genuine southern hospitality, hot and cold 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 2024 –and of course its famous 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.”

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.
