I live close by and I really enjoy this place. Just recently I was in and Archer was extremely personable. He answered all of my questions and showed me not only does he care about his customers, their happiness, but this job as well. I've been in the service industry for 20 years and this guy has it. Will come, again! read more

I stopped by to get a sandwich, and unfortunately, the experience was not as pleasant as I had hoped. The employee preparing my sandwich had a noticeable body odor, and it was strong enough that it made the experience uncomfortable. I understand that everyone can have an off day, however, I do think personal hygiene is important especially when working directly with food and customers. read more

This is likely the least weird of the Thundercloud locations. Same great service. Same great sandwiches. Texas tuna is my go to, but it's cold today so how 'bout a meatball sub. Can't go wrong with the Lady Bird or a Turkish Delight. If you're really hungry go with the Big John. Warning: if you're from the East Coast you'll hate Thundercloud Subs. read more

The Turkish Delight sub in a bowl isn't fancy or gourmet, but it scores high in healthiness and tastiness! This sub is the Veggie Delight, which tells you that lots of veggies are involved, plus turkey. The abundance of veggies include avocado, sprouts, mushrooms, olives, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes (ok, that's a fruit). You can top it off with hummus or cream cheese. I always choose hummus (who would choose cream cheese?) Add Turkey and a choice of cheese and it's very filling for lunch or dinner. And the thunder sauce is a perfect compliment. Corey at this location is a true sub-in-a-bowl artist! He served the salad after painstakingly arranging the ingredients in a way pleasing to the eye...and taste buds! Sarah is also a gifted salad maker. Ask for either of them next time you go. They don't skimp on any of the items! I usually take out, but I was so hungry this time that I ate there. It's clean and bright. read more

Every time- so freaking good. Lady bird was perfect ratio of all things - chicken salad, tuna, avocado, jalapeños. Impeccable vibes from everyone working there- super nice guy made our sub (had a low pony). read more

I love this place! Never had a bad sandwich. It is a very frequent after school snack for my elementary school kid. Just now I'm debating - pizza or thundercloud? Thundercloud won. That's high praise. Plus they are super kind and generous! They took care of me when I was having a sad moment there once. read more

The chicken salad on whole wheat with provolone had no taste whatsoever. There was so much lettuce on it and Thundercloud sauce that I thought I was eating a lettuce sandwich with cheese. Could hardly find the thinly served chicken salad. I did ask for extra sauce but wow! read more

Love this place, and love this location. The food is incredible and the staff is so genuinely caring. I was sick today and was unable to come in store to pick up an order, but really needed some soup, and they made sure I got it with my Uber order!! This was only my second time getting thundercloud subs, and it will for sure not be the last!! Thank you all so much, this genuinely made my day 1000 times better :) read more

Whenever I drive down William cannon I always see thundercloud sub on the side. I've always been curious and today I decided to go try it out. I got the big Paul on wheat. It was amazing! The meats went well with the bread and the spicy mustard and Mayo gave a great flavor. The only thing I would adjust is the olives, I am a fan of olives but I felt like it didn't go well for me in the sandwich. The club was also good too. The staff was very nice and slid in some witty puns. I would definitely come here again read more

Where's the tuna? Tuna has to be one of their cheapest products. It was barely enough to see; there was not much tuna flavor. I normally love Thundercloud's subs. This was a real disappointment. read more

My sandwich artist was super awesome and friendly! He was very nice to talk to. The food was great as ALWAYS! Love Thundercloud Subs!!

Lazy Saturday. Stopped in before braving the H‑E‑B across the street. Who turns down thunder sauce? Really? Grabbed a Lady Bird. Damn that's a good sandwich! It was busy today but the staff handled it with their normal upbeat attitudes. read more

There was a very long hair in my sub. I have never had such a horrible thing in a sub from them. Gross. NOT going back. I've always liked it there. Too bad. read more

The manager at this location was SO nice to accommodate a last minute catering order this week. I gave them just a 2 1/2 notice. We had 22 amazing boxed lunches with various chips and cookies. I wish I took photos but we were short staffed at work and it was just a crazy day. Thank you ThunderCloud Subs for coming to the rescue and making our day a better one. My teachers enjoyed the treat! #thundersauce is the best! read more

Service was very slow, took almost 2 HOURS to receive my food! (Delivery, but it usually only takes 30 minutes and Thundercloud was most likely busy.) Service, 1 star. If I could give zero, I would. My sandwich was missing half of what it was supposed to have! The sandwich, didn't taste bad but was very dry. 2 stars Even the chips weren't as good, 4 stars. Disappointed ‍ Overall: 2 stars Edit: Although you could argue my DoorDash driver was taking forever, he literally had to wait forever for the food! Thundercloud was always my go to spot for thundercloud sandwiches. read more

We go here often we get 2 large New York Italian with sweet peppers and everything lettuce tomato provolone cheese and office favorite egg salad with bacon cheese and lettuce and tomato. I got potato salad and it was great fresh large potatoes onion and great sauce. Service is fast friendly and a great experience read more

I like how the experience of ordering a sub is so personalized here. Definitely take a few minutes longer, but you feel the tip is actually being earned, and it's nice to know the sandwich is being made to perfection then and there. Besides that I am a big fan of the subs here. Definitely recommend the Austin Club. Have them make it the way they recommend it, and guaranteed to be delicious. read more

Love this place. Good is fresh and service is great every time. Best sandwich in town.

I am actually so thankful to live in a city where Thundercloud exists. I've been coming to this location ever since I was little and it's my fav place ever. All of the staff is so nice and the best sandwich makers ever. Never have had a bad sandwich from here. I want my last meal to be a california club. read more

Thundercloud is usually my go-to sandwich shop, and this is the location I frequent the most. They're usually pretty busy so I almost always call my order in to save some time. The staff is quick and friendly, and my order has only been incorrect once over the years. read more

One of my favorite places to get a sandwich turkey for me always fresh and great customer service a little pricey but well worth it

I used to go to the original location long ago, when it was routine to grab a bite and sit out on the lawn of the State Capitol building and chat and talk smack with legislators about music and not politics while eating. One Governor used to be ordering on occasion and then sit out on the lawn. This was a magic time. Then I left Austin for several years and other locations had popped up. I did not return to Thundercloud as I did not want to wipe away that old memory. However, I finally decided to give one in our area a try and not take into consideration the original location nor nostalgia. This location was still seeming old school, and so I decided to just say that this was my first Thundercloud. Several employees dropped by to say hi as they were going past where I was standing while I was waiting. I really was surprised in this day and age that kind of courtesy. The meat is sliced daily, and the vegetables looked and tasted fresh as I had walked in just as it opened. I enjoyed the sandwich and it is definitely a place where I would stop by again (which I have done). Of note; the people were wearing beard and hair nets. The best part is the friendly people working there and an Austin laid back environment. Ask for recommendations and they will gladly give you what looks the best that day and what they would order. This is a good idea for any place that grows into a chain. read more

This is the worst Thundercloud I have been to. DO NOT GO HERE!! The girl with the beanie and the two men were very rude after they incorrectly made my order. I called ahead and did not come before the given time. We were met with snarky and childish responses and will never return. You should choose a different location if you want thundercloud. read more

The thundercloud sub #1 in my book! But what is good customer service? (Things you do well) Customers are greeted at the door. You're polite and attentive to customers needs. The restaurant is always stocked, clean and well staffed thank you. However Not touching your hair, face and mouth while providing a food service to the public is also great customer service. Or maybe it's just me, the next time you're inside count how many times someone touches their hair, face and mouth while preparing Meals read more

$.60 for each slice of bacon is absurd, the only reason I won't go back, way to make a simple cheap meal pricey!

Good as always for 40 years. Texas Tuna is the bomb! Staff usually friendly & helpful.

Great subs, great staff, love it. There are several good options for vegetarians and those avoiding gluten.

Just ordered pickup from this location and picked up my sandwich on time - by the time I got home to eat it, it was completely soggy. I've been going to thundercloud for over 20 years and this has never happened to me so I was extremely disappointed because half my sandwich was inedible. I don't know why the person making it half a**ed it so much. Hope this doesn't happen again in the future because I only go there for the tuna sandwiches. read more

Thundercloud Subs - Soggy sandwich due to laziness - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I come here all the time. I made the order online, there's only an option for a whole pickle and pickle spears on their website which eventually stopped functioning correctly. I picked a whole pickle because I wanted an entire pickle cut in spears. I left fairly specific instructions in the notes. When I opened my bag however I found this pathetic little pickle that looks bitten off. I think they wouldn't give this to a customer who comes in person so it shouldn't be given to me either read more

Thundercloud might be my favorite sandwich shop .... that Austin Club is pretty amazing! This location is convenient and easy to get in and out of. The employees are always nice too! Now the Austin Club is smoked chicken breast with avocado and bacon. I also get a mayo and mustard combo and say yes to pepper, salt and thunder sauce. All these things just make even better! I like both of their bread options as well. The avocado and the bacon with all the condiments and veggies just makes this sandwich so perfect! I have also had their cookies and they are delicious! My friend regularly gets their salads here and she says they are delicious too. I really do not know how someone could not be a fan of Thundercloud ... I certainly am and will continue to seek out the Austin Club! read more

The best subs in town! Bonus points for having gluten free bread! And who doesn't love adding a pickle to their order?! One of our favorite quick bites to eat and the FRIENDLIEST service around. Everyone is always so nice & happy to make our sandwiches! read more

A nice variety of subs made in front of you. My favorite is the New York Italian. The is friendly and courteous.

This place is on point! Rachel today was awesome and she was on top of her game. Everytime I call in and come in they are so friendly!! Keep up the good work and I'll be back One suggestion is to get a new phone because i'm times it's hard to hear but other than that love this place. I drive all the way over here out of my way to come see Jo Ann and the crew read more

Tasty subs! But most of all, a laid-back Austin ambiance. Don't expect to have your sandwich slapped together in 20 seconds and on your way out. Instead, expect the long time employee to chat with you, ask you how you've been since the last time (3 months prior, and still remembered me!) and show a side of humanity that has been lacking in the food service industry for decades. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the customer service. They're doing it right. read more

Tried Thunder Cloud on Wm Cannon for first time today. Wow. We were super impressed. 2 of us had Austin Club. Hubby had smoked mesquite classic and son had NY Italian. They were all so excellent. Potato salad was out of ballpark also. Totally yummy. read more

The sandwiches are great but it was so gross to find a tiny tiny worm looking thing in a fountain drink, I really think they need to clean that fountain drink machine. read more

This was our second trip to thundercloud; and this trip was every bit as good or even better than our first trip. The sandwiches are awesome! Pricing makes it a great value! And the people behind the counter or some of the friendliest customer service people I've ever met! We will be back every time that we are in Austin! read more

Not the best sandwich in this area of town but always reliable. The whole wheat sub with double turkey no cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, sprouts and avocado with mustard never lets me down. Thunderclouds is like sex with my Ex. I know what to expect and I keep coming back for more because it is good. Even though there is something more adventurous just down the road. read more

From what I understand, they've been around since the 70's, so certainly Thundercloud has become an appealing option for some people. Not being an Austin native, however, my experience hasn't been filtered through a "nostalgic lens"... so I feel my review is properly unbiased. I just don't get it. The difference between the small and large is quite miniscule (both are very small) ... the meat (in this case, turkey) looked like the pressed type that one would typically avoid at the deli...and the final product was basic and pedestrian. It literally looked and felt like something I'd pick up in the gas station when no other options are available (albeit fancier wrapping, probably fresher but at several times the price) The decor was warm and modern and the employees were predictably Austin hip, but I really just don't get it. I don't write this review with any sort of malicious intent...hey, good for Thundercloud for being in business so long with devoted customers...it's just that when I leave an eating establishment, I want to feel as if I got my money's worth...at Thundercloud, I did not. I simply cannot imagine eating there again when there are so many other alternatives that offer so much more in the way of quality and quantity. read more

I'm addicted to Thundercloud Subs. Addicted. Addicted. Addicted....times infinity a hundred thousand bajillion zillion times four. It's the truth. I've been coming to Thundercloud's for as long as I can remember and if it was considered socially acceptable I would rub the Thundersauce all over my body and...well...use your imagination. My go to sandwich is a large regular club on white with lettuce, onions, bacon, turkey, provolone, salt/pepper, and thundersauce (a scrumptious mix of oil, vinegar and paprika). When asked how much thundersauce I want I say, "As much as you'd like to put on there." Once a clerk literally spread half a squeeze bottle on my sammich and glory was made that day. It truly brought a tear to my eye. I convert as many followers as I can find to the Thundercloud ways and if they ever offered an IPO I'd be the first in line. VIVA LA THUNDERCLOUD!!!!! read more
