The staff was nice & I enjoyed looking at all the breads, sauces, and packages goods they either make themselves or offer for purchase while we waited. I got the turkey sandwich and it was great sandwich! I also tried a bite of the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Will definitely be back!

I adore Spread & Co and they're often part of my Manor Road jaunt. We live just 1.5 miles away and…read moreI'm very glad to be so close to them. I'm a sucker for Prosecco on tap! My most favorite bar in Pittsburgh (walking distance from my old apartment there) offers it as well so it's a bonus to have that option almost as close to me here. I'm going on about it because I love it. I also love the happy hour at Spread. They have generous happy hour options but my fave is the $6 Aperol Spritz. Yes, please!! The butter board (available 4-7 pm) is to die for. Bread, French butter, and more. They do fondue for two every Friday that I still need to get in on. At lunch time they have a mini grazing board for one person filled with cheese and things and it's only ten bucks. I absolutely go cray for the grilled cheese sandwich. Two different cheeses and raclette, are you kidding me? Yum! Friendly and welcoming service.

It's not a gimmick if they have good food…read more Handsome Dan's has been on my list to try for months, but I've been on a keto diet most of the time, so a bunch of restaurants have been put on a "someday" list. Last week I was on a break from keto, and my husband read my mind. He took me here as the first stop on a rainy Friday night date. I know they have good sandwiches, but they also have their "bait shop" schtick. They're not near any significant fishing spots, and I didn't see any evidence of bait, but whatever. Their sandwiches are good, so they can get away with it. While I ate my sandwich on the patio, we discussed the novelty nature of many Austin businesses, and which ones can hold up and which ones are pure hype. I ordered the Club sandwich. It's not a true triple-decker club, but it was the sandwich that had the best variety of fillings in my opinion. Everything you'd expect in a classic club, but easier to eat because it wasn't stacked absurdly tall like other clubs. The sourdough bread was very crispy, and the meats, cheese, and vegetables worked well inside. On the side I got potato salad which I like more than their other option, which was chips, but the potato salad wasn't anything special. Their patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a rainstorm. They have some glider chairs off to the side that are good for lounging on, but when it really started to rain we moved in to the center of the patio. I'm glad I got a chance to try Handsome Dan's. I doubt I'll be back anytime soon because huge sandwiches like this need to be an occasional treat for me, but if you're in the Springdale area looking for a satisfying meal, this is it!

Handsome Dans was on our list because of all the online and social media hype. It's tucked away in…read morethe back next to Stargazer in a brewery/ warehouse off Springdale and Airport area. The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.

I arrived at 12:45 on a Friday. We planned a later lunch to avoid a crowd. My first time there and…read moreI walked into a packed dining room and a line of 10-12 people to order at the counter. But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off. I will probably return anyway for the delicious sandwich. But I wish it came with chips!

I've had a few meals at this location, and I'm really hoping this place sticks around. The space…read morehas been through several different restaurants over the years, including Oakmont Cafe and Doc's. I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).

It was super buttery with that perfect crispy exterior and an epic cheese pull that stretched forever. Really satisfying and flavorful! I also kicked off the morning with their Royal Flush ginger drink, which had a refreshing zing and was a great way to start the day. Overall, solid comfort food with some tasty twists. Will be back to try more. Just wish the portions were a little bigger for the price. Recommended: Pepperoni Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Mozzarella Grilled Cheese & Royal Flush Ginger Drink

This unassuming Soup Peddler location is tucked away in a strip mall on Airport, next to the…read moreOmelettry. Plenty of parking. The setup seems to be similar to other soup peddlers with seating: metallic tabletops that always seem to be clean, dedicated recycling and composting bins, a high countertop divider, with an ordering kiosk near the front, and some coolers and fridges, as well as a heating rack to keep pickup orders warm. Kitchen and smoothie room in the back. The staff running this place are quite nice. The choice of artwork adorning the walls appears to be different from other Soup Peddlers. What's good about Soup Peddler? Despite their name, I prefer their smoothies over their soups. Their soups are prepared offsite and delivered in the morning to all Soup Peddler locations. Thus, no location is aware or can predict what will be on their menu for soup specials each day through the week. However, other than their daily specials, they usually have a set soup menu. Their soups are served in a paper cup, and you can get crackers and oyster crackers with them. They also offer grilled cheese sandwiches. Those sandwiches are, well, pretty small and simple. I've had their Apple-Muenster Grilled Cheese, no complaints. Don't expect to be filled up on that though. Again, smoothies are where it's at. They offer monthly smoothie specials, discounted daily smoothie specials, and staff favorite creations. Of course, you can always create and customize your own. I tend to get their matcha, turmeric, or banana and nut based smoothies. Any sweetness is obtained from their fruits used, but sometimes date syrup is used as an ingredient. Anyways, smoothies are yum, and that's why I keep coming back.

Thank you Diana and team for the best sandwhich ever !
