Does McAlister's Really Have All Day Breakfast?

The deli chain is considered a fast casual restaurant or a restaurant that does not offer full table service but has a menu that's higher in quality than what you might get at fast food chains. McAlister's was started by an unexpected person – Don Newcomb, DDS. Yes, a dentist created a restaurant that is popular for baked potatoes filled with various types of delicious toppings, soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts, and refreshing drinks.

In fact, it's so popular, the restaurant offers a Tea Pass, which (according to the company's website) costs $6.99 a month and allows the purchaser to get one free tea a day for 30 consecutive days.
