The sandwiches at FoodHeads were fresh, filling, and packed with flavor. I ordered one with a generous portion of meat, crisp vegetables, and plenty of cheese on a toasted roll. The bread had a nice crunch while still being soft enough to bite into easily. We also grabbed some chips on the side, and everything made for a really satisfying lunch. Definitely a great casual spot when you're craving a hearty sandwich. read more

First time back here in awhile and it was just as good as I remembered! I got the steak chimichurri sandwich, it was great but my only complaint is that on the menu it said that it would come as a torta sandwich but they just served it on regular white bread. This is my first time getting coffee here and it was also very good. My friend joined me and she loved the chicken eggplant sandwich. Such a perfect lunch spot! read more

I've been wanting to try this place out since I moved here and today was the day. I ended up placing an order over the phone, because I have a tree nut allergy so I wanted to make sure that it was noted. The sandwich I was planning to order contained pesto with nuts so I just felt like that would be my best bet. I typically avoid this, but it sounded so good that I couldn't resist. The employee that took my order over the phone was wonderful. So friendly and made it super easy. My order was ready when I went in! There is a small seating area inside, but lots of benches and picnic tables outside, and it was the perfect day to enjoy an outside lunch! I ended up doing the 1/2 chicken & eggplant sandwich with a side of the brisket chili. All of it was absolutely fantastic. The ingredients on the sandwich tasted super fresh and went together really well. The brisket chili was delicious with a little bit of spice as well. Highly recommend if you haven't checked out this spot! read more

FoodHeads - Chicken & Eggplant Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is very Austin and Texas vibes. Super cute with limited indoor seating but lots of outdoor seating. We ordered at the front and you serve yourself water/teas. There was no line for us but once it hit 12 pm on a weekday it was so crowded. Food came out pretty fast! I got the Apple Pork Sandwich. It was delicious!!! Loved the pickles that you can add into it. I've never had apples in a sandwich before but the savory and sweet combo tied it in nicely. Pretty big sandwich/portion size for one person too. Usually not a sandwich person but FoodHeads is amazing!! read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years and it's still in my all-time Austin top 10 places to eat. The prosciutto and egg salad sandwich is a game changer. Also, I adore the chocolate chip cookies and when in season the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I love that it is situated in an old house on 34th St. as most of my favorite Austin places started off as homes. read more

You can really tell that this is an Austin classic. Tucked away in the sidestreets of central Austin, this sandwich place has such a comforting cozy vibe that you just want to spend your whole day here enjoying the weather and the homey decor. This home retrofitted into a restaurant has such a charming setup, you can tell this is a classic spot for many. Now on to the food, I got the chicken eggplant sandwich and it was amazing. The meat and eggplant were well seasoned and all of the other accessories come together for an amazing bite. read more

Not sure if we came on an off day, but weirdly it was a total miss on our food and drinks this time. First off, our salmon for the salad was requested as medium and well-done, but they both came out about halfway raw. I have a particularly sensitive stomach so this was a concern. I didn't feel comfortable eating it but decided to bring it home and cook it some more to avoid wasting food. Secondly, the chai latte was sickeningly sweet- which we did bring to their attention, and they did their best to adjust it. This is my friend's favorite place and she said the salmon has never come out raw before so I might give it another try, but am definitely a bit wary on the lack of consistency in food standards. read more

Tasty food and great ambiance. The place was packed, so we sat outside, which was fun. Parking can be difficult, though.

Amazing lunch spot in Austin! Has great outdoor seating as well as indoor. It does get busy so if you are crunched for time might skip out. The staff is always very friendly and the vibes are great! I ordered Chicken special, banh mi, and then a steak special All amazing and highly recommend!! read more

Fresh Sandwiches, Great Vibes, and a Hidden Austin Favorite Food Heads is tucked into what looks like a small house. When we showed up, it was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly and smoothly. There's more seating than you'd expect, and the atmosphere is relaxed without feeling cramped. We ordered the Squash Sandwich and the Chicken Special Sandwich, and both were seriously good. Everything tasted fresh, from the bread to the veggies to the fillings. It's clear they care about quality ingredients. One of my favorite parts? Their in-house pickles -- a little sweeter than your typical deli pickle, and a nice unexpected twist. And if you go, definitely grab their fresh limeade -- it's zesty, refreshing, and the perfect drink to pair with your meal. Food Heads is one of those places that gets sandwiches right. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Highly recommend this delicious deli restaurant! It deceivingly looks like a house but a great variety of sandwiches that all taste great! The pork belly BLTA is very delicious and pretty big for $12.95. There are some seats inside but more outdoor tables available. There's street parking and a designated parking lot between King Street and 34th Street. Servers were great too, courteous, and I didn't have wait for my food to come out. read more

Such a cute location, they have tones of outdoor seating as well as tables inside. The team was nice and very quick. I waited for my to-go order for less than 10 min. I got the chicken special sandwich which was good. I thought there was a little too much mayo on it. The chicken was well cooked but I wish it was as big as the sandwich. I'll definitely be back to try more sandwiches! read more

Foodheads is one of my favorite sandwich shops in Austin, and is located in the cutest old house with tons of outdoor seating. Everything I've tried there has been delightful, but my favorite is their chicken special. The easy tiger sourdough is always perfectly toasted, and the tarragon mayo ties the whole sandwich together. I also love Foodheads' homemade tomato coconut soup, and the roast beef and brie sandwich. They also have the best iced teas and homemade lemonade. I tried Foodheads' wedding cake iced tea, and it was the perfect blend of almond and rose petals, without being too sweet. The only drawback to Foodheads is that it can be rather difficult to find a spot during the lunch rush, but I was lucky enough to grab street parking right in front. Overall, everything about this spot is unique and quintessentially Austin. If you haven't had a chance to support this small business yet, I highly recommend! read more

I'll apologize first for not having taken more pictures of the menu and the layout, but the spot itself is very cozy with indoor and outdoor seating. You definitely get old school Austin vibes here, but the good ones of course. We ordered the Gypsy Grove and the Chicken Special sandwiches and oh man, when I say that these might be some of the best sandwiches you'll find in Austin, I'm not over exaggerating! Both were packed with flavor and fillings leaving you wanting more even after the final bite. The jalapeño relish inside the Gypsy grove should be a default on any sandwich, it was sooooo darn good. The folks were friendly and even brought out food out to our table outside. This spot is a solid 5/5 for me from service to food! read more

1. Seating is limited and it's freaking hot inside!! 2. The tea tastes like mold. No bueno. 3. My egg salad is full on soft boil egg, not a fan. Also, I watched the "server" wipe down the recycle bin and trash can outside and then turn around and use the same towel to wipe down a table. Twice. The bagged chips were good. 0/10 read more

it's one of my go to spots for lunch!! The Chicken Caesar salad sandwich is what I get every time and it never disappoints! I love bringing all my friends and family here read more

Great service *if you enjoy being treated like a second class citizen. 3 stars for the chicken ceasar sandwhich tho! But seriously, finally tried it after years of being told it was an Austin staple. Staff could not have been more miserable. Good location & lots of seating during a lunch rush was a plus. read more

I went 2 days ago and still thinking about how great my sandwich was. I got the 1/2 salad and 1/2 chicken eggplant sandwich option, and it was definitely worth waiting in line that was out the door. Maybe next time though I'll be smarter and just do an online order. read more

Highly recommend! The staff recommended me the squash sandwich, which was delicious. However I would not recommend taking it to go because it ended up a soggy mess, a delicious soggy mess but soggy nonetheless. The hot pastrami was also delicious and held up way better than the other sandwich. The restaurant was very cute and gave authentic austin vibes. The only downside is if you order in the weekend get ready for a 20-30 min wait for your food. read more

I'm not a huge sandwich person but I enjoyed foodheads! The place itself is very cute with ample outdoor and indoor seating. It's in a house that has been transformed into a restaurant. In terms of the food, there were plenty of options. I went with a build your own sandwich and got turkey w/ pepper jack cheese. The sandwich also had field greens and tomatoes. I felt it was a bit overpriced because that's all the sandwich came with and additional veggies or sauces cost extra. The sandwich was tasty but not sure if I would come back regularly as you could either make this exact sandwich at home with not too much effort or get it somewhere else for cheaper. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I had a veggie sandwich here a few months ago and it was outrageously delicious. The staff is helpful and kind. The vibe is also really cool. You feel like you are in some charming old house. I need to come here more often! My only con here is their hours. I wish they were open longer every day. They close at 3 on most days. read more

I was really hoping that this place would be as good as the reviews said. The first time I went it was for lunch. I had made an online order and once I arrived they were pretty busy lunch. There was a separate section to wait for online orders, but when I went up the counter to ask about our food, we weren't helped until the line of customers were fully dealt with which kind of begs the question why even have a separate area for online orders if we have to wait longer and it would've been better if I just waited in the main line and told them what was going on. When we got our orders, we had to go back to work and that's when we found out that they had messed up my coworkers order and didn't remove something from his sandwich and when he called to let them know, they did offer a $5 discount for his next trip there. When I went back to Foodheads a few days later with my wife the line was out the door. I had went ahead and used the online order again because I only have a certain amount of time during my lunch break but this time I waited in line. I had ordered a half/half drink which costs extra and a sandwich but when I went to get my drink, none of them were labeled properly and I just got the lemonade even though they had charged me more for the half lemonade half tea drink. Finally when I went to go eat, they had totally messed up my order by not removing something and adding something else onto the sandwich I didn't ask for. I was willing to look past the extra money for a drink I couldn't get but now they messed up my order a second time so I decided to call and let them know what was going on. When they answered and I explained what happened with the drink, the person on the phone just told me that I should've known to get half tea and half lemonade from the drink stand. When I told him nothing was labeled and that when I grabbed the food and drink they were already busy with other people so I didn't stop to ask he just stayed quiet. I asked him if he can remove the extra charge from my bill and then I told him my sandwich was all messed up and I was just told that I could come back and a $5 discount by mentioning my name to the cashier. Once they told me that, I realized I'm never coming back. How quickly they told me the same thing they told my coworker and then had the gall to make it sound like it was my fault was pretty awful. I never went back to get that discount and I won't. On top of that, the sandwiches were a little subpar, the meat wasn't very tasty, almost like they had the meat sitting out for a whole. The bread was too soggy. Everything in the first and second sandwich I ordered weren't absolutely awful but left a lot to be desired. It's a shame considering how close this place is, I would've liked coming back but unfortunately I will have to find some better spots around Austin. read more

I tried food heads for the first time recently and absolutely loved it! The build your own veggie sandwich was delicious especially with roasted potatoes and pepper jack cheese. He had also ordered a tuna nicoise which was delicious however, the bread was a bit soggy. The potato salad was great and the pickles were so unique. I love that they were sweet instead of salty.

It creates such a homey vibe, like you went over to your friend's house to eat. Also lots of outdoor seating! I got the half bella sandwich with Tomato Coconut Soup. The best thing on the plate was the pickled cucumber. Wow every bite was delicious. It was super tart and sweet and crunchy but so yummy. The sandwich was good, the tomato was a perfect pairing to the whole sandwich. I was expecting more of a punch by the mushrooms. The soup was really tasty, you can definitely taste the coconut in the dish. I didn't live how the soup wasn't smooth, but the flavor was definitely there. read more

My friend loves this place and now I'm a fan too. My pork belly and egg sandwich was delicious and huge. It came with pickled onions on the side. I ordered jalapeño chips and a root beer to complete my order. Super chill environment and it was lovely outside. Checkout their menu - there were soups, salads and sandwiches and plenty of specials. The staff was nice and brought out our food and also picked it up. Nice spot for sure for your next lunch date. read more
