McAlister's Deli Transformed Into a "Steakhouse" for Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day this year, McAlister's Deli transformed itself into a one-day pop-up restaurant that's taking reservations for February 14th. 80 couples will get the chance to dine on the new steak menu from McAlister's Deli and enjoy an exclusive dining experience.

At McAlister's "Steakhouse," guests can expect to be treated to complimentary dinner service, live music at select locations, and elevated decor. A three-course meal is central to the experience and it's inclusive of the new, limited-time, premium hand-cut and made-to-order sirloin steak menu: Steak & Gorgonzola Salad, Steak & White Cheddar Sandwich, Loaded Steak Spud, and Colossal Carrot Cake.

Knowing that Valentine's Day planning sometimes happens at the last minute, McAlister's Deli is supporting couples who haven't done anything to prepare.
