Some lunch orders try to reinvent the wheel. McAlister's Deli just does the deli classics right — overstuffed club sandwiches, giant baked Spuds, fresh-tossed salads, and the sweet tea it's practically famous for. The Southern-style sandwich shop has been a hometown favorite for decades, and 18 locations are now on CaterCow across Texas and New Mexico.. Everything is built for groups — individually boxed lunches for clean distribution, or family-style trays and hot bars for the middle of the table. We're thrilled to welcome them to the platform.
The menu is comfort-food catering done properly. There's the signature McAlister's Club — roasted turkey, black forest ham, bacon, sharp cheddar, and swiss with honey mustard on wheat — alongside a deep bench of box lunches, wraps, and premium sandwiches like the Italian and the Memphian. The famous Spud Bar lets the team build their own loaded baked potatoes, and the Mac & Cheese and Nacho Bars bring the same hands-on, crowd-pleasing energy. Round it out with entrée salads, soups and chili, and gallons of that sweet tea.
What makes it work for office catering specifically:
- Individually boxed lunches that just work. Box lunches run $12.29–$12.49 and arrive packaged per person with a sandwich, pickle spear, side, and dessert — clean handoff, no carving station required. Choose from classics like the 6" Black Angus Roast Beef & Cheddar, the McAlister's Club Box, or the Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap.
- The Spud Bar. McAlister's signature move — fresh-baked potatoes with sour cream, butter, cheddar-jack, and green onions, plus add-on fixin's so everyone customizes their own ($7.99/person, V/GF, 5 min). A normal Tuesday lunch the team actually remembers.
- Hot bars for hands-on crowds. Beyond the Spud Bar, there's a loaded Mac & Cheese Bar with your choice of 2 proteins and 2 veggies ($8.69), and a Nacho Bar with chili, queso, and all the toppings ($8.49) — both vegetarian-friendly.
- Real salad and soup coverage. Entrée salads ($11.29–$14.79) including the Southwest Chicken & Avocado, Savannah Chopped, and Pecanberry, plus cups of chili, country potato, cheddar broccoli, and chicken tortilla soup. Pair a sandwich with a salad or soup in a single Choose 2 box.
- Bundles that feed ~10 in one click. Sandwich & Salad or Sandwich & Spud bundles arrive with a fruit tray, cookies, cutlery, and a gallon of sweet tea ($258.99–$302.99, serves ~10) — a full spread without assembling it piece by piece.
- Breakfast, snacks, and drinks handled. Individually packaged breakfast boxes (from $10.99), fruit and veggie trays, grazing boxes, cookie and brownie trays, and gallon sweet tea, lemonade, coffee, or OJ round out the order so you're not making a second stop.

Why order McAlister's Deli catering through CaterCow?
Four reasons that hold up after the discount expires:
- One invoice across multiple restaurants. If your team rotates between McAlister's, sushi, and tacos in the same week, you get one consolidated bill instead of chasing receipts across vendors.
- On-time delivery guarantee. If the order runs late, our team handles the make-good — not your office manager calling the restaurant during the lunch rush.
- Headcount flexibility and dietary tagging. Add or remove orders up to lead time, and every individual item arrives labeled with name and dietary callouts — so the vegetarian on your team doesn't end up with the roast beef.
- Rewards. Every CaterCow order earns you CaterCoins you can use on future orders or redeem for Amazon gift cards.
