Seemingly off the beaten path of 17-92, but certainly familiar to Maitland locals, Houndstooth is a must-try deli style scratch kitchen. I had the panini pressed Houndstooth Cuban (+ tomato), and Macaroni Salad, and iced-tea. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Love the panini pressed approach to doing a Cuban. The pork had a clean marinade flavor, too. And quite possibly the best macaroni salad, this side of the Mississippi. This is one of those places that when you realize you missed out ever since they opened about 4 years ago, you want to come back and make up for lost time, especially after seeing all they offer (salads, panini sandwiches, soups and sides). The spacious outside patio overlooking the scenic park across the street was also a pleasant surprise. I'm an interior designer, who found the rustic modern decor to be a nice complement to the quaint interior. More importantly, as an Alabama Crimson Tide fan, the Bear Bryant "Houndstooth" and Crimson-stained reclaimed ship lap paneling was a subtle and tasteful touch. Even if you're a Tiger, Gator, Bulldog or Nole fan, you'll still love Houndstooth.. and its owners even more! read more

1) Food is not bad but a tad overpriced for this "scratch" kitchen...(Cough Cough). Went there with my girlfriend and the person checking us out seemed kind of rude and did not want to be there. Lastly, any Rueben worth a damn has kraut on it. The location kind of sucks as well(even though it's a park it might as well be a graveyard) so it makes the spot a destination place that is completely forgettable. Update: To be fair the place does not deserve 2 stars so I revised it to 3. read more

Love this place. A go-to for us. Great Owners, excellent food! Love the outdoor seating.

Easy 5 stars for food and friendly, quick service. My wife and I just found out about Houndstooth Kitchen last night even though they've been a round for about 7 years. I'd say HK is a welcome addition to Maitland after moving earlier this year from East End. Food: *Pretzel sticks with jalapeño cheese appetizer - Hot and buttered sticks from local Olde Hearth Bakery with real chopped up cheese and jalapeño. Solid and plentiful. (We were informed that Olde Hearth provides ALL of HK's breads.) *Rueben Panini - loaded full of corned beef with the sauce, pickle, and Swiss cheese complimenting and the marble rye holding together. So good. (I ordered a half so I could also order...) *BBQ Brisket Taco - the brisket is moist and tender; add the apple poppy slaw but mostly the house red and white BBQ sauces (on a headed flour tortilla) and HK sets themselves apart from the plethora of other brisket tacos on O-Town. *Orzo salad - good pesto salad that provided a fresh palate cleanse from one entree to the next (but I'd try something else next time around). *Black Bean Burger - it's huge! And while my wife didn't find the burger seasoned well, it was no matter because the white BBQ sauce brought the taste to completion. Location: One street over from busy 17/92 yet it was quiet this evening given we had the benefit of the entire building between us. Add to the outdoor seating white lights strung across the street and we are anticipating the cooler weather when outdoor eating will be even more pleasant. (A few tables indoors were available in the small interior). A varied menu combined with great execution and the killer white BBQ requires repeated and satisfying visits. read more

Houndstooth Kitchen & Eatery - Lemon thyme turkey sandwich w/side mac salad - Salad Near Me - Maitland, Florida

We visited this past weekend. Excited to be able to finally make it. Been wanting to come since we saw it for the first time weeks ago. We ordered the loaded tots and 3 sandwiches, one for each. I ordered the caprese sandwich, my friend ordered the tuna melt and my husband order another one but I forgot which one it was that he ordered. I believe is was the roast beef & cheddar. So I really enjoyed my sandwiche with a Tomato basil Bisque soup. It complimented eachother oh so well. Both equally delicious. My friend and I decided to trade half of our sandwiches with eachother. Smart way of trying 2 sandwiches at once. Anyways I really enjoyed the tuna melt very much as well. But if I had to pick I would order the caprese again. But it was a bit expensive for sandwiches that are a bit small. It wasn't too bad but I thought the sandwiches would be a bit bigger. It would have been more satisfying. But I would go back for a second time. read more

Nice little as for an outdoor lunch especially when the weather is mild and sunny. A tad pricey but also quite tasty and we just had grilled cheese and cups of soup. read more

This restaurant offers unique flavor options for a casual lunch or dinner. Kids were pleased and parents were satisfied. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have hot and cold sandwiches, soups, and appetizers. A solid salad menu is also available. There is minimal indoor seating so enjoy sitting outside overlooking the park! read more

Five stars for excellent service and food. I went yesterday during their very busy lunch time and they still delivered a good experience. I was greeted by every single employee who passed by me which to me means they appreciate their customers. The Tuna and Muenster melt was great. Outdoor seating is an option, although I opted for to-go. Highly recommend. read more

Mediocre. Some of the food is good and some is really bad. They were out of pork, which eliminated about 4 menu options. Soft pretzel sticks were burnt, had no salt, and pretty flavorless, even with the pimento cheese. Roast beef sandwich was inedible, thick sliced beef was chewy and hard to bite into. Hot dog and chicken pesto sandwich were good though. However, the lady at the counter was not friendly. We felt like we were inconveniencing her by eating at her restaurant. No one greeted us when we walked in, we just walked up and started ordering our food before she said a word to us. She also seemed annoyed when we asked to remove an ingredient from an item (my wife has a dairy allergy. Don't think we will be returning anytime soon. read more

I want to address a few things. This is one of the best little cafe places I have found. I got the Ruben and the BLT both of with are amazing. The BLT had that amazing thick chewy bacon you want, and the Ruben had the best sauce and the beef was fall apart tender. The place it self is so fun and they love your dogs. They actually have a wall of pictures up. The staff were so nice and they greeted us and took our orders with big smiles. I highly recommend this place, especially on Sunday when you can enjoy the farmers market near by. read more

Food and service were amazing. Chicken pesto sandwich and the tomato basil bisque are a must try. read more

Headed to the East End Market for the Audubon Customer Appreciation weekend and Houndstooth was doing a pop up BBQ tables. There has a smoker set up outside and you could smell the delicious from the parking lot. We wondered inside first to get a couple of adult beverages and a seating space. I then headed back out to their table. The menu was short and sweet. I opted for a dozen wings with two sides. I got cheese grits and baked beans. Everything was served up quickly and they had a square device so they could accept credit cards. The wings were perfectly smoked and they included both a white and red bbq sauce for dipping. The grits were cheesy but not in an overpowering way. The beans were phenomenal and a perfect side for a BBQ dish. Overall: A Great food, good service! read more

This week was my first time there. It is a cute, little lunch spot and the food is good. It was a little smaller and more intimate than anticipated, but they have seating outside too, luckily. It is also a little pricier than one would expect for soup/sandwich/salad eatery. It was almost $20 for just that little tomato basil soup cup and the grilled chicken pesto sandwich, which was also a little small. But it was a nice place to try for lunch. read more

I took a friend to East End Market for the first time this weekend. While we were there we decided we needed a snack to hold us over until our late dinner reservation. After a trip around the market we decided on the special of the day from Houndstooth - turkey, bacon, pepperjack cheese and white BBQ sauce on a pretzel roll. We got the sandwich hot along with an Original Sin Pear Cider from Local Roots and went outside to enjoy our snack. It was heavenly! We split the sandwich and the cider and it was the perfect amount. The sandwich was delicious and so was the cider! The sandwich was a little on the pricey side, but I expect that when I'm at East End Market so I wasn't really surprised. But now that I've had one of their sandwiches I will definitely be back! read more

The service at the bar was friendly, and they were super busy, but took the time to let us sample the wines and make recommendations. We tried the appetizers, everything we tried was good, except the fish dip. It may just be a matter of preference. I'll definitely go back read more

I've eaten here a few times so it's high time for a review! Located inside the East End Market, this vendor sells sandwiches, soup and salads. Order at counter and they will find you seated either inside or outside and bring your food (utensils and napkins ad well!) So, everything I've ordered from here has been good quality, serving size and simply delicious! I'm hooked on and would recommend the tomato bisque! Who doesn't like some comfort soup! I love their roast beef and cheese Sammy too! My friends raved over their chicken sandwiches as Well! They sell their bottled sauces and to go soups and salads also to take home. The East end Market is a separate review, but it's a great lunch or dinner setting! Can't wait to try more here! Recommend! read more

Owner was welcoming and so sweet to our dogs! Great food and service. Would come back anytime! The BLT is so delicious and the bacon is thick cut which is hard to find. The potato salad was one of the best my husband ever had. Classic food done right! read more

You cannot go wrong catering with Monica and David. They are super to work with, creative and resourceful. I was catering a party with lots of people of all ages and tastes and they are still talking about the food. Still trying to get a favorite sandwich but everyone has a different one they loved-mine is the lemon thyme. You cannot go wrong with Houndstooth. read more

The most amazing little sandwich shop that would be perforce for any lunch, business or personal! I got the tomato basil soup with half a chicken avalado melt and it was TO DIE FOR! One of the best meals I've had in a while. They also have little goods in their refrigerator that you can take home and make your own sandwiches. Highly recommend. read more

Such a hidden gem in the new Maitland City Center. The owner, David and his wife Monica are just the sweetest people ever and boy do they know their food! They turn classic sandwiches, soups and sides into something new with fresh ideas and have some fun and creative twists on staples items. Pretty much EVERYTHING is made in house and you can certainly taste the flavors and passion with ever bite. I was luck enough to catch a special they had, a pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun. The pork was smoked for 11 HOURSSSSSS. Talk about heavenly. Im also a huge fan of soups so the turkey chili did NOT disappoint as it was filling and had loads of flavor. They are a must try when in the Maitland area! read more

Where Southern deli delights meets Mexican street food! Didn't know about this great little place behind (west side) of the new Maitland Downtown Center complex. Very helpful staff. Will be back for the other entrees read more

Food seems a bit overpriced for what you get. Although they do offer gluten free options, I still felt a bit limited on what I could order. I asked if I could get any of the hot sandwich options on a lettuce wrap (not everyone loves tuna or egg salad) and I was told no, so a star off for being non flexible and not even attempting to cater to your consumer when the store was empty. Salad options aren't as interesting as the sandwich options so I see no need to revisit here. read more

The chips were really good. I got the Cuban sandwich and my friend got the thyme sandwich. I liked hers better but I would go back.

Absolutely loved this place! The owners & staff provided exceptional service and the food....the food was DELICIOUS!!! We can't wait to go back and try more options from the menu. So happy to have a phenomenal new spot to eat! read more

My family and I love Houndstooth! We eat here all the time whether it be during the farmers market or Any other day. The owners and staff are friendly and the food is great. They always bring us a bowl of water for our dog. Reading through some of the other reviews just shows how pretentious yelp foodies are (negative reviews). Keep up the great work Houndstooth we love you! read more

I have been here twice now and the food really hits the spot. Think comfort food at a comfortable price. Finally got to try the potato salad this time around. It was sold out last time and I can see why. Delish! Tried the pork tacos this trip. Comes with 3 very filling tacos. I left stuffed and happy. read more

What a great sandwich spot! The place is adorable,quaint and welcoming. I had the Cuban with a side of slaw,both the sandwich and side were a great size and considering how much everything costs nowadays can't complain about the price at all. Will definitely be back soon! read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and were blown away at how delicious a simple sandwiches could be! The Turkey club was insanely flavorful without having to have condiments be the reason. It's the meat itself! They do the roasting/smoking in house and it seriously shows. My husband had the runa melt which I have never been a fan of until now. They do it right and with a much more suitable cheese than standard American or yellow cheddar. Lastly, the potato salad was somehow refreshing and I have no idea how they managed to make potatoes refreshing. Well done. We will be back. read more

Omg I have never had better tomato basil soup!!! I t was creamy and a bit tangy- just amazing! I also ordered the chicken pesto panini it was also very good but overall the 2 items together were to much to eat! Give this places try, you won't be sorry! read more

Picked up lunch here the other day and was amazed by the deliciousness of this meal! I ordered over the phone and the woman who helped me was super friendly and helpful. I was considering the tomato bisque soup and asked what their soup of the day was. She said it was French Onion and said I had to try it. I went with her recommendation and ordered the Roast Beef melt with Jalapeño Pimento Cheese to go with it. I parked outside of the restaurant for curbside pickup and the chef who brought my order said he put a Gruyere crouton in there. He recommended putting it in a bowl and pouring the French Onion soup on top. Genius!! The cheesy crouton melted into a perfect complement to the flavorful French Onion soup. The sandwich was an explosion of yummy flavors in my mouth! The jalapeño pimento cheese is delicious and pairs perfectly with the roast beef. Cannot wait to have lunch here again soon!! read more

I'll admit that I ended up buying lunch at Houndstooth when the line at Skyebird was too long for a salad. I don't know why, but their storefront didn't initially call to me, but holy smokes was I glad that I ended up there! I ordered their special of the day: Roasted Vegetable Sandwich which includes Eggplant, Zuchinni, Squash, Red Onion, Mushrooms, Yellow Tomatoes, & Sun-Dried Tomato Spread pressed on Foccacia Roll. It was delicious! I also grabbed a large container of their curried split pea soup for dinner/second lunch snack (don't judge me!). It was surprising and inventive. I've never spiced a split pea soup with curry, but it was subtle and added some complexity to the soup. Mmmmm! The chef, David, explained that he used to have a restaurant in Atlanta, but had to close when the diner next door went up in flames and took his restaurant with it. I loved how open he was to talking to me while I was waiting on my order (there was someone else working the register). I left off a star because they could work on the look of their storefront. It sucks to say, but they're competing with some super stylish merchants at the market and this would really help then stand out. Otherwise, loved everything! read more
