Founded in 1989, McAlister’s® Deli, which can be found at 1502 Highway 17 North, in North Myrtle Beach, is a fast casual restaurant chain known for their sandwiches, spuds, soups, salads, desserts and McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™, which is available by the glass or gallon.   In addition to dine-in and take-out service, they also offer catering with a selection of sandwich trays, box lunches, desserts, a hot spud bar and more.  The original restaurant was started in a renovated gas station, and many of the elements of that original look are present in many McAlister’s Delis built today, such as a garage door, and nostalgic black-and-white tile.   With numerous industry accolades, the McAlister’s brand has over 350 restaurants in 26 states.
