McAlister's Deli Menu Prices 2026: Giant Spuds, Deli Sandwiches & Famous Sweet Tea

Most signature sandwiches and clubs run $9.50–$11.50 as of May 2026. The flagship McAlister's Club is $10.49, the bigger King Club is $11.49, and the Veggie Club is $9.49. The Giant Spuds (loaded potatoes) run $9.99–$12.49, and the popular Soup & Half-Sandwich combo is $10.49. Add the famous Sweet Tea at $2.99 with free refills, and a typical McAlister's lunch lands around $13–$15 per person.

The McAlister's Club ($10.49) is the chain's signature sandwich and its most-ordered item — a triple-decker stacked with smoked turkey, ham, bacon, cheddar, Swiss, lettuce, tomato and honey-mustard on toasted wheatberry bread. It's the dish McAlister's is built around, and the standard recommendation for a first visit. If you want even more, the King Club ($11.49) piles on extra meat and cheese.

A Giant Spud is McAlister's oversized loaded baked potato — large enough to be a full meal on its own, and one of the things the chain is best known for. Just A Spud ($9.99) is the base with butter, cheddar-jack and sour cream; the most popular is the Spud Ole ($11.49) with chili, jalapeños, salsa and cheese; and the Spud Max ($11.99) is the fully-loaded everything version with bacon, broccoli and chili. There's a Black Angus roast-beef Spud ($12.49) and a vegetarian Veggie Spud ($10.49) too.

McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea ($2.99, free refills) is the chain's single most-beloved item and a genuine Southern institution. It's fresh-brewed in-house, generously sweetened, and many guests rate it the best sweet tea in fast casual — to the point that McAlister's sells it by the gallon to go ($7.99) for parties and family meals. The brand leans into it heavily, even running an annual 'Free Tea Day' promotion. If you order one thing to drink, this is the one.

Yes — the Soup & Half-Sandwich combo ($10.49) is McAlister's most popular lunch order. You pick a half sandwich, a cup of soup and a side. The soup station favorites are Chicken Tortilla, Broccoli Cheddar and Loaded Baked Potato soup ($4.99 a cup individually). The 'choose two' or 'choose three' combo format makes it easy to build a customized, well-portioned lunch, and it's where a lot of regulars land for a midday meal.

Yes. McAlister's has a decent vegetarian selection for a deli: the Veggie Club ($9.49), Just A Spud ($9.99) and Veggie Spud ($10.49), the Greek Salad ($10.49) and Garden Side Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and sides like potato salad, chips and a fresh fruit cup (the fruit cup is vegan). Many sandwiches can be made meat-free on request. As always with a shared deli line, confirm prep if you have strict dietary needs.

McAlister's Deli was founded in 1989 in Oxford, Mississippi by Don Newcomb, a former dentist, in a converted gas station. It's owned by Focus Brands, now operating as GoTo Foods — the same parent company behind Jamba, Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon and Schlotzsky's. As of 2026 there are roughly 500 U.S. locations, concentrated across the South and Southeast, where the brand's Southern-hospitality service style and sweet tea fit naturally. It continues to expand into the Midwest and beyond.

Yes — catering is a significant part of McAlister's business. The chain offers sandwich and club trays, box lunches, salad and Spud bars, soup by the quart and gallons of the famous sweet tea ($7.99/gallon) for offices, events and gatherings. The Southern-style menu, the customizable Spud and sandwich formats and the bulk sweet tea make it a popular catering choice in its core markets.
