Y'all need to check out ThunderCloud Subs if you want a seriously good sandwich for a great price. I ordered the Austin, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was really good, the bacon was tasty, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely ask which cheese is the more flavorful option and get that--it makes the sandwich even better. Also, note to self: ask for the spicy mustard on the side. It doesn't automatically come with it, but it was really good on the sandwich and added the perfect kick. One of the best sandwiches you can get without spending a fortune. Solid spot I'd gladly come back to. read more

Thundercloud Subs - Austin Club - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been a fan of Thundercloud Subs for well over a decade when I was first introduced to them by my boyfriend. Simply put, they make an amazing sandwich. I don't know what it is, the fresh ingredients, the bread, all of it. There's something special in what they do. With that said, this is one of my preferred locations. They are all good but sometimes and only sometimes service and quality aren't as good at other locations. However, this one is always spot on and the one I patron the most. read more

Wonderful to try this again as I had it at the airport one visit. The gentlemen who put together the sandwich was kind and friendly. He even double checked at the end for the sprouts added to the order. The sandwich was delicious with the soft bread and toppings all going together. Had the Californian with sprouts added. Yummy. Even enjoyed a mini tootsie roll pop while waiting for the sandwich to be prepared. Decor was very clean and simple. read more

Came during my lunch break and they were very fast and not pushy about it! and although I was the only one in line the other employee not doing anything helped the employee making my sandwich and asked me if I was going to get a drink or chips or anything else. Great staff taking initiative helping each other out. Oh and the sandwich was yummy as always read more

I like this place cause they're fast and have a decently good sandwich! I like to add the spicy peppers and they have a pretty good chip selection. My go to for pick up and bring on a boat for a boat day. read more

If you are looking for a quick picnic meal like we were to eat in the park just grab some sandwiches from Thundercloud and you are set! My absolute favorite is the Turkish Delite. If you love hummus and a fresh sandwich this is the one for you. Make sure to eat it cold. If you are a meat lover the Big Paul is for you. Has allll the meats! I wish I could remember the name of the staff member who helped us, but he was just beyond nice. We had called ahead of time to ask something and he made our sandwiches. He had all the energy and stories to tell. Made for a fun visit. read more

This was my first time trying Austin's iconic Thundercloud Subs. This might have been unique to the Riverside Thundercloud, but the first thing I noticed was that the interior was lowkey like... dingy. It's a sub shop. No one expects avant garde decor, but even coming in with low expectations it was sub-par (haha, get it?). For one, the order counter is oddly tall and fully wood, so you can't see what they're putting in your sub or the meat/veggie options. The dining area also seemed to function as a storage space, with random stools, kitchen materials, and misc. items cluttering the area. Despite having no patrons in the store they had a line control belt barrier (also called retractable belt barrier stanchions, apparently? The more you know) snaking across the whole front of the restaurant, which felt less like a sub shop and more like you were going through TSA security. The reason for the 3 stars is that the subs were actually pretty solid and the pricing wasn't bad, but the disarray inside really did detract. read more

Thundercloud Subs - . Italian - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Thundercloud is the first restaurant I ever patroned in Austin. Now, seven years later, it continues to be part of my food rotation. No frills, unassuming, but so, so good. So, so fresh. There is nothing better than a quality sub sandwich that keeps you full, and there's no better spot for this than Thundercloud. This location in particular is my favorite because it's easy to get to if you're on the east side PLUS their staff are so kind and friendly. An Austin staple for a reason!! read more

Food was great, customer service was on point. I like the Lady Bird. Chicken salad with avocado, jalapeno and bacon.

I made a new friend here! My friends were raving about Thundercloud Subs so I had to go see what the hype was about. I picked up an Italian, a meatball, an American, and an Austin sub! My Austin sub was really tasty! I'll definitely be back! read more

Thundercloud Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Incredibly chill vibes, a little grimy, nice folks behind the counter, and a decent sandwich. I've been to this location a few times and have never been disappointed with their food. It's a standard little soup, salad, and sandwich shop. Do expect a lunch rush wait, but they will push those orders out as quickly as possible. Veggie and vegan options are limited, but what they offer is pretty good. I've heard good things about their chicken salad, so maybe give that a try if that's your thing. The prices are reasonable, I think it's so you don't feel bad about adding a sweet treat to your order. A friend said the cookies are pretty solid and not even a buck. It's close to Emo's and other venues that I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

Thundercloud Subs is a local sub chain in Austin, TX they offer sub sandwiches and have soups and salads as well. I got the Big Paul and the LadyBird, both sandwiches were great. I do prefer my sandwiches toasted vs cold both the sandwiches I got were cold. The big Paul is a monstrous sub and if you are going in hungry I highly recommend that one. The ladybird was different but good it had chicken salad on its sub and had jalapeños which was a nice touch to the sandwich. read more

I'm a Thundercloud stan in general. So good! Support your local/smaller chain businesses. Staff is friendly and fun. I enjoy the chili and the California Club, but all the sandwiches are good. I'm also a big guy with a big appetite, so I do frequently go for the double meat portion. Better than Subway read more

Can't see what they're doing to your sandwich bc the counter is too high. Asked for light mustard and he squirted for 10 solid seconds. Asked for no bacon and boom, puts bacon. Asked me if I wanted black pepper, clearly after he had already added, bc contrary to my request there is black pepper on my sandwich. 4 oz of brown avocado to boot. read more

wack. only location that's is not at par with the rest. called about a complaint and was ,eat with a rude response. Rachel i think who it was. read more

Hey respectfully it sucks that I paid for extras on my sandwich and didn't receive it, I didn't get avocado on my veggie delight that comes with it and I got a gluten free sandwich bread that made me sick like I ate gluten. I go to thunderclouds often and never have this problem :/ would recommend most other locations, this one just seems to suck read more

I have always seen this place on riverside and I finally tried it out. Super good tbh better than subway especially the one on riverside. Chicken salad is flavorful! Pretty decently priced itll only get pricey if you add more than 1-2 extra toppings but a small is pretty big and it's only like $6. Got a large today and a cup of chili for $10! The chili was super good!!! Employees are very friendly and helpful cause i was pretty confused about how to order LMAO , definitely will be going back i've already been twice this week read more

Easy vibes and can't go wrong with a straight up sub. Folks did a good job wrangling the rush when I was there.

Just a word of advice, can you please wrap the sandwich all the way. Don't half ass wrap it so that when I grab it, the fucking sandwich falls apart! Fuck u guys!! This location is ass I swear smh read more

Still at 5 Always a pleasure to visit. Staff is so Helpful. While waiting in line.... A Good Thing! I had the chance to see and witness the girl at togo area. A guy was picking up an order. Not arrived yet or maybe SoCo location. She got it figured out. He left Happy Also while in line observed a young lady and a baby in front of me. Turns out to be my Thunder Cloud servers Wife and Son. He was So Happy to see them... this made me Happy Forgot his Name Sorry read more

Four stars because the sandwich was pretty good, price was decent. Just nothing above average really about it, easy sandwich shop, not super special but also not very bad. Service was quick. read more

This is a must stop when we go to the Austin area. This time we went to this location on Riverside and it was as delicious as always. The 5 stars is for the food but also just giving props to this location for having super duper friendly employees! Chicken salad sandwiches are great! read more

You're better off making a sandwich at home. This place makes subway look like a Michelin star. Sloppy sandwich the guy threw together in 2 minutes. Gas station bacon. Hard pass read more

A friend brought me to Thundercloud way back in the day, saying how their subs were awesome, so at first I went to try it out and left wondering "what's the big deal"? But over the years I have to say that Thundercloud continues to grow on you, as it's now one of my favorite places to get a sub. They are reasonably priced, have unique offerings (i.e. Thundercloud sauce, Veggie, Egg Salad), their service has always been consistently good, and they always have a special sub offer every week which is awesome! For July 4th week they were offering the large All American Sub (ham, bologna, cheese) for $3.19! Me nots a bolgona fan, but it's still nice to know it's only $3.19! I personally love the Italian, Egg Salad, Vegetarian, Hot Pastrami and Turkey w/ Bacon Sub. I haven't tried their soups so not sure how they are. They offer white or wheat sub bread, which (IMHO) isn't as tasty as Jimmy John's bread, but it does the trick. They're usually packed for lunch but their employees always seem to be able to hande the rush very well. It's an Austin tradtion and one of my favorite submarine shops! read more

Thundercloud Subs - Look like shit - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

A less than appetizing establishment. I found the subs to be lacking any kind of meaningful substance let alone meat. This sub reminded me of a discounted version of a Subway sub without the flavors, standardization or lower price. Perhaps, I was turned off to this sub by seeing the employee who was making the subs opening the refrigerator door with the same gloved hands and grabbing containers as she was making the food. I could go into further details about how this was a one time event eating at this business but it's not worth it. #NoGo read more

Love this place but tonight the guy working was super rude, rushing, and made my sub sloppy AF with missing ingredients. I ordered off the menu as it appears and he obviously didn't have a clue how to make the sandwich read more

Ordered online and not only did they not listen to a single instruction and added all of the ingredients I said not to include, the sandwich was beyond soggy. It literally was a big soggy mess. I took one bite and threw it away. Don't waste your money read more

One of my favorite sandwich shops in Austin. An Austin original what is there not to love! Fresh ingredients, super friendly staff, and great prices especially when you try the special of the day. For instance today the American classic was the special, $2.99 for the small, $3.99 for the large...$3.99 for a large, are you kidding me, I should have ordered two! I ate the large and i am stuffed, and i'm a big guy. My other favorite sub is the Veggie Delight. I know you are thinking veggie delight??? But yes veggie delight. I am a very carnivorousness and this sandwich does not have an ounce of eat on it, just a clean fresh sandwich. I like to add jalapenos to it to give it a little kick. i will order this sub at least once a week. read more

Rude about coming in and being out before closing. Asked for sand which add ons as she was making the sandwich and was told to wait before asking for anything else. Both employees made snarky remarks both directly and indirectly about the time in which we chose to come in. Great food, bad service. read more

How high can you be at work? Go to this location to find out as they cannot make the sandwich you want correctly to save their damn lives. I have been there several times over the last couple of months (out of sheer desperation) and EVERYTIME at least 1 sandwich is completely incorrect - not just like extra veggies or no mayo - as in a completely different sandwich from what you ordered. Wtf?? Utter waste of time, money and effort. Avoid at all costs read more

Pretty solid lunch place. Line moves quickly. Prices are a little more than I'd like for the size of the sandwiches. Need to add a chicken parm. read more

I'm from out of town and stopped here from a recommendation by a coworker. You will enjoy the chill atmosphere and tasty sandwich offered by this local establishment. The bread is softer than I personally like or expected, but worked well enough with the toppings and flavor of the dressing. I love me a great sandwich and Thundercloud is a solid choice. I was most impressed by how friendly and caring the staff was. They made great use of the few minutes we had together by getting to know me and sharing the history of the company. I will definitely stop here again next time in town. read more

Alright, you got me, hippies. Today I had an insane craving for a Nada Chicken salad, so I decided to go for it. The service was, dare I say it? Friendly. My Thunderemployee might've even cracked a smile. It was a collaborative effort between the two of us. The soda fountain is behind the counter at this location, so she filled my large iced tea and added lemon to my cup upon my request. And I gathered my own banana peppers out of the receptacle oddly placed on the counter top because she said she was "too short to pick out the good ones." Cute. She also only charged me for two peppers, when I grabbed four. It still hurts that the salad, two (four) extra peppers, an extra Thundersauce dressing (more oil than vinegar this time), a bag of Baked Lays, and a large iced tea came out to just under $11, WITHOUT tip. Hell, Baby Greens is even cheaper than that, with better ingredients AND a bigger iced tea. Damn you, Nada Chicken craving! read more

Stopped here after an afternoon of kayaking. Sane thing as the other thundercloud, just wish it was a bit cleaner. The backsplash where they make your sandwich has runs and streaks on it go random sauces and foods. Pretty off putting when you are hungry and watch your food get prepared inches from it. Other than that good food and friendly employees. read more

Have had great experience at every Thundercloud Subs besides this one. I always get salads & by 7 pm they are always "out of salads". I know they are supposed to make me one anyone if they are out, which no one ever did until I wrote a letter of complaint to the president of the company (then received free vouchers!). Last time I went, the young lady working said they were out, but would make me one (I guess the message got passed down). It. took. forever. Now, that's not her fault, but they should make more salads or whatever they are out of in their downtime. I thanked her for making it for me, but I'll probably never go here again. There's another Thundercloud across 35 ( who always has deviled eggs!) & there's a Subway closer to my apartment anyway. read more

This location is actually pretty busy. Nice and friendly staff. I've been here three times and the third time I got really sick and haven't been back since. I get the Italian Sub on gluten free bread with the sweet peppers. I love those sweet peppers! read more

Their sandwiches are great and so are most of the employees. All except one little creep. He seems to be a shift manager and my encounter with him was on Feb 19th. He is short in stature with brown hair and a beard. He was high, snide and seemingly incapable of remembering "provolone" or "yes, provolone" or "no I want provolone." There was a group of us but we were paying separately. Never the less he though it was a great idea to make all our sandwiches at once, prolonging our time with him. It took him more than thirty minutes to make five sandwiches. On top of that, he took an extra five to eight minutes to yell at a vagabond out in front of the pizza hut next door. While we waited for him to return from the crusade against the homeless several other clients were served by a much more competent employee. Not one of the sandwiches was correct. We were all petty pissed by then. It gets better. One of our group left his jacket so he called the shop to ask them to hold it. No problems there. But this manager decided to make a threat against another one of our party. Lets call him Scott. This thundercloud employee claimed that if Scott ever went back to the shop he would kick Scott's ass... Scott had not done enough to warrant that reaction. Overall: poor service. read more
