They make a bad ass pastrami sandwich! Super friendly staff, generous portions, and consistently great food.

$16 Reuben what was almost uneditable. My wife went to this place and told me it was great. We both love small places like this. First the woman with teal hair was warm and kind to my wife, smiled asked if she wanted chips with her order, great customer service. To me she was short and cold a little, didn't ask me anything. Now the sandwich in short horrible constructed, huge chucks of fat with the chunks of meat. The meat was well cooked and tasted great but I had to trim the fat off. Then I realized the sandwich was 35% actual meat and 65% sauerkraut. I also have issue with how the meat was cut because that's not how you cut corned beef for a this sandwich.... This place should go to Cafe Lago in Lakeway try an amazing Reuben and take notes. read more

Otherside Deli is legit. Tried the Reuben and it was easily the standout... perfectly grilled, packed with flavor, and super satisfying without being messy. The Turkey + Provolone was also really solid: fresh, simple, and generously made. Leftovers Update - My dog got to enjoy a half sandwich of each after knocking it off the kitchen island. Happy to confirm he tips 0% and shows no remorse. read more

This place has been open for a while now, but still feels like a well kept secret.. and one of the few places in Austin where you can get a delicious chopped cheese! It is in a cute, small old building with a plate glass window. You can sit inside or out, or order ahead online and take food to go. Prices are good. Staff is great. Put this on your staples list! read more

Went here for a Reuben on Thursday and it was not good. The pastrami tasted like brisket. The cheese was not melted and the toast was too dark. Overall bad experience. read more

I was in the area and needed some lunch. After a quick Google search, I headed to Otherside Deli and Sub. I was the only person there, because they were closing in 25 minutes. I quickly decided on a tuna sandwich ($12) and sat down to wait for my food. The sandwich was ready within 10 minutes and tasty, but not the best sandwich I have ever had. Nevertheless, it hit the spot! Plenty of free parking out front, which is always a plus. Clean bathrooms and a water refill station, as well. I won't go out of my way to go back, but if you are in the area and are desperate for food, it's not a bad spot! read more

My husband brought me here, and while it is in an older, small shopping center with a not to many businesses the "Other Side" stands out as my sandwich was REALLY DEELISHHH. They cure their own corned beef & pastrami knowing that I ordered a corned beef Ruben with sauerkraut, Russian dressing, SUBERBILICIOIS just the right amount of mouthwatering thin sliced meat, sauerkraut for tang with creamy dressing on marbled rye ~ so so so tasty Definitely will be going back and my next choice will be a cold sandwich as shredded lettuce is included which I adore on a cold sandwich. The menu has lots of traditional deli sandwiches with a "Daily Special" on last Saturday it was a meatball sub~ Dining in or to go, free parking you won't leave disappointed read more

The place is small inside but they're pumping out deliciousness. I had the Reuben with sauerkraut Swiss cheese && russian dressing. It was fresh and so good. So was the coleslaw. read more

Atmosphere and service here were great! The sandwhiches , were just okay. The bread was mostly disappointing as it felt cheap, was very thin and flimsy. If they improved the bread used it would be a much better sandwich and value sell. I had a half pastrami Rueben and half turkey club - the ingredients were good! I might not come back but happy others love the experience! Both halves were $16 in total read more

$15 for a basic turkey sub and chips. It's a good sandwich but it's nothing special and certainly not worth $15.

Serves medical center employees. Generous seating available for eat-ins. Reuben on marble rye was delicious. I'll be back.

Took my son there on this special day for he got his first State ID and we needed to try a Reuben sandwich. Found this gem and we both loved the sandwich and the vibe in the place. The staff was very friendly and provided great service for our first time. read more

Came by today because we were in the area and needed a quick bite.. while the restaurant was full we didn't have to wait long to order and our hot sandwiches came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The tables were all taken so we sat at the counter area by the window- the restaurant has about 8-10 tables plus other seating. The staff were very friendly and brought our food to us. I ordered the turkey club without mayo and it was very moist and the turkey was warm on toasted rye bread. Lettuce and tomato were fresh and the bacon was hot and crispy. My friend had the breaded chicken cutlet sandwich also with no mayo and hers was very hot, freshly cooked and juicy. Looking forward to coming back read more

I was nearby and wanted to get some food but had a bit of a time crunch. The hot subs seemed to be popular on Yelp but there was a small line and I knew I didn't have time for my primary choice so I went for something from their cold sub menu. I got the Italian sub-Ham, Capicola and Salami, a decent line up of meats and I saw that they had mac salad so I got that as well as a bag of chips and I got a black and white cookie just because. The sandwich was ok, the flavors were kind of weak and the bread was thin, breaking apart after a few bites. The mac salad was also under-seasoned and lot of salt and pepper. My bill was 24 bucks and for that I expected a little more. read more

Had the club, no mayo add mustard and a side of the coleslaw. Would get again. The parking lot could use some TLC. But worth the struggle read more

It's small, doesn't look like much but makes amazing subs. Love that I can walk from work for a great meal. Highly recommend

(1/16/26)  This was my first time eating at Otherside. I found it by looking for a quick lunch near me. It was a little after 1 when I got there, and the parking lot they share with the thrift store was full. The inside was as well, but there was no line of customers waiting to order and still a few seats available. It had a classic sub shop interior, with the front door left open to invite in the warm breeze. The worker at the counter was friendly and very helpful. I ended up ordering the deli sandwich she recommended, the Rowdy Roddy, for $14. This, along with the rest of the menu, seemed pricey on my first impression. However, just a few minutes later, I was pleasantly surprised by the sandwich I received. It was served warm, tasted great, and would've left me wanting more if I wasn't so full. The portions are pretty decent, with about 1/3 of a pound of sliced turkey on my sandwich. Everything felt fresh and made with care. Overall, it was a great experience, but I'd be more eager to return if they had some more affordable lunch specials. read more

First timer to this hidden gem.....looked like a lost boy but out of nowhere this goddess of a lady came to my rescue. She advised me to get the PHILLY.

This is a casual deli with a small but well-curated sandwich selection and fast counter service. Located near the hospital, it's a convenient spot for a quick bite. I tried the Reuben, which was excellent, and the namesake sandwich, Otherside, which was still enjoyable but not as memorable. Sandwiches are on the pricier side at $14, but the quality makes it worthwhile. I'd definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

Ordered online and when I got there the store wasn't even open. Still fighting my bank and the number for the shop appears to no longer be in service. read more

Overall, it was a great quick and tasty lunch but I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back because it was a little overpriced for what you get. Pastrami & mustard on rye with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and onion (7/10) - solid sandwich! The mustard is the star of the show... some of the best mustard I've ever had! I feel like the amount of pastrami you get is less than impressive for a $14 sandwich. Both the pastrami and turkey were good but didn't blow me away with flavor. The bread was toasted perfectly and it stayed together pretty well which is always a plus! Macaroni salad (3/10) - ehhh, there wasn't much flavor to this at all... extremely basic and wouldn't order again. The food did come out quickly and the tables were all clean. I'm happy I tried it but it won't be on my list of places to frequent. read more

Great sandwich and chip selection. Restaurant closes pretty early though. Great place

Best true deli in Austin. All the classics are here and they're all great. Matzo ball soup and Reuben are my picks, some of the best versions in town read more

Food was amazing. Nice thick slices of meat and super super tender for being white meat. The service was excellent, guy at the front immediately greeted me with a smile and sounded excited. I had a small mishap, I opened Jarritos and a piece of glass came off that I didn't see and cut my lip. Not their fault though, just brittle glass. They immediately replaced it. The seating area is awesome very clean tables and floors even with the construction guys next door at the time. It was great 100% will be coming back. read more

Here's a richly deserved 5 stars for ya. This is the most perfect Reuben I've ever eaten. The meat was tender and tasty and LOADED. PERFECT sauerkraut, cheese, dressing. The most delicious and perfect sandwich!!! Hubby had a cheesesteak that was really great but we agreed the Reuben stole the show. And their black and white cookies are straight fire. Made elsewhere and prepackaged. So good. read more

Great sandwiches and great service. I've been looking for a good sandwich place in Austin and this place stands out. I ordered the pastrami on rye. The meat was outstanding. Not the typical thin sliced (usually dry) stuff you get at most places. This was thick sliced, moist and very tender. Quite good! Many other sandwiches on the menu that look great. This is a high quality place that I fully recommend. read more

look, i really wanted to love it. it's just ok. i mean, it's fine if you like plain and simple but not authentic as far as Italian sandwiches. i've said it before but if you do one and all your meats are unseasoned... that's not it. the cap should be HOT, the sopressat should be picante, there should not be regular hams and no heat. a bit dirty and the searing was limited. can't say i see any longevity in this place- read more

Decided to pick up Otherside for lunch so I placed an online order and went to the store to pick up. No complaints there - the process was super easy and my order was sitting at the front where I could just grab it and head out. I ordered a salami and cheddar sub + mayonnaise and the macaroni salad. Overall I thought the food was fine. I wish there was more mayo on my sandwich (or maybe I should've picked up some mayo packets if they had some) because some parts of it just lacked sauce. The mac salad felt refreshing after a heavier sandwich (at least in my opinion, I know there are a lot of heavier sandwiches on the menu). I guess for $12 I just expect to be more impressed than if I were to order a similar sandwich from a sandwich chain. Overall it wasn't bad but also wasn't great read more

I heard about this deli from a friend and was excited to try it with a lunch friend date! We both live on opposite sides of town so we're always looking to try to find new places to visit that are central. First of all, they have a great website so you can see the menu and get to know them before you visit. They also have ample parking in a parking lot, which is a plus for this part of town. This place is small, but it's the perfect retro atmosphere, with old movie posters and a bit of a nostalgia vibe. It's clean, cool, and the staff is warm and friendly. We easily ordered at the counter and food arrived very quickly. It was quiet enough that we could easily have conversation over lunch at the tables inside. The food was really good! I got a grilled cheese and my friend got The Italian. Both were excellent. Food was very reasonably priced, as well. We will be adding this to the lunch date rotation for sure! read more

Reuben was great, would've been better if cheese was melted. Pastrami was very good, needed a little more dressing for my taste.$30 for Reuben, tots, tea and tip is crazy for what it is. read more

3.75 My husband and I decided to try Otherside Deli for lunch. He ordered our sandwiches online. We drove up and then went inside to pick up our order. The inside of the restaurant was clean and there were tables and chairs for seating. There is a counter on one side where you can order. When we went in my husband told the person at the register our order name and they gave us our sandwiches. It was quick and easy. My husband ordered the Pastrami and mustard sandwich and I got the Chicken Cutlet Sub. The Pastrami and mustard sandwich is just that and nothing else. The Chicken Cutlet sandwich had mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, and vinegar. I tried both sandwiches. The Pastrami sandwich was really good. The meat was good quality and the mustard added to the flavor. The chicken cutlet sub was okay. The chicken itself was a good size but the sandwich wasn't as flavorful as the pastrami and the bread was a little soggy due to the fillings. It was an okay place to pick up some food to try. read more

AMAZING sandwiches! Got a Reuben for myself and some turkey sandwiches for my kiddos. The sandwiches are seriously legit. Fresh bread, lots of meat, perfect combos. I'd say it's a perfect place to get your stuff to-go, but we ate inside and it just smelled... old. And the parking lot needs some help. I don't mind timely places, but it just seems it needs a hir of upkeep. read more

Pregnant wife got food poisoning from the chicken cutlet sub. It's been hell on earth here for two days

Amazing sandwiches very good and tasty, the prices are modest for what you are getting. All deli meat is fresh and cut in store, got a cheesesteak and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time from a restaurant/deli. The atmosphere for this place is very nice and refreshing nothing too crazy but embraces the Old/New Austin mashup. too things off very friendly and fast staff got my sandwich within 10 minutes waiting for it. I will come back again!! read more
