Wow, is all I can say. I arrived around 5:20 I walked in and no one else was in the area except for the two employees, who were having a good time laughing. After being greeted and interrupted before I can say anything, I was told to wait because they needed to catch up on the phone in orders "Hence the laughing ".. After roughly around 7-9 minutes and taking a bathroom break I was finally asked what would I like too order. That was a bad representation of Thunder Cloud Subs. I understand that people & businesses get busy. My question would be as followed. What were you doing prior to that, why was it possible to have a customer waiting for a short period of time too make time for you all too catch. My time and money is just as valuable.. I'm ot upset or mad just simply stating the obvious. read more

It's game day (Hook 'Em!) and I just experienced sandwich nirvana with my to-go Turkish Delite sandwich, plussed up with the addition of spicy mustard, jalapeños, and sweet pepper strips. I was so inspired, I had to stop everything and post this glowing review. Gahhhh! I could have been eating *this* sandwich all these years of frequenting my beloved T-cloud, but I was too set in my old ways! If you like a fresh, healthy, nourishing, flavorful, totally satisfying sandwich, you gotta try this one! The Turkish Delite is basically the Veggie Delite sandwich with the addition of Thundercloud's perfect deli turkey. Standard ingredients include: Whole Wheat bread * Provolone Cheese * Avocado, Hummus * Mayo, Black Olives, Lettuce, Thundersauce, Tomato, Shake of Pepper, Onion, Mushrooms, Sprouts, Turkey, Yellow Mustard. Hubs got the Austin Club with smoked chicken & bacon plus all the fresh fixin's and was equally impressed. Of course, we had to add those Ms. Vickie's Jalapeño Chips. We ordered online (yay, they finally got this going for all stores), set our preferred pickup time, and mosey'd over at half-time. The friendly sandwich artists always have our order ready to go and waiting at the pick-up counter - no wait, no hassle. Thank you, Thundercloud! Love y'all! P.S. I do recommend the online ordering, as it eliminates all repeated questions about exactly which ingredients you want on each of your sandwiches. read more

Good food. Definitely good spot for lunch Go here if you eat subs. Really ice people. Good food

Amazing food always come through w the fire. Dylan is the man.. always fresh and yummy and a good price.

Staff greeted us as soon as we entered. That's the opposite from when we last went to Subway, the staff seemed annoyed we were there, wouldn't even look up at us, we're standing there at the counter, we finally had to ask, "Can we order?" The vibe of the store is much nicer than the corporate Subway also. That's to be expected, Thundercloud started in Austin in 1975 and has a long history of hiring local musicians. Google the article from Austin Monthly. Subtracting one star for tip inflation. Tipping isn't required for counter service and if you do tip, the standard for counter service is 10%. But the *minimum* default on the Toast tablet was 15%. (Yes, I know I can manually change it, that's not the point.) The defaults should be 10%, 15%, 20%. read more

Hey everybody, I hope you have an appetite for a delicious sandwich. I used to eat at Thundecloud quite a bit when I was a twenty something. Nowadays I only get here every once in awhile. But it's still the same. I have a about 4 favorites here, so here we go. . #1 Chicken Salad, #2 New York Italian, #3 California Club and #4 Tuna Salad. You can't go wrong with these. Also look out for the "Soup of the day" or the Chili, that's made in house. Local, great, affordable and delicious. Don't go anywhere else people. What you want is here. Peace read more

Today we had an excellent experience. The bread was melt in your mouth good. Ordered egg salad. Perfect amount on the sandwich. Veggies were fresh and well proportioned. Service was good. Tables were clean. Keep up the good work TC. read more

Good sandwiches. But since they no longer serve diet soda in the fountain, I will not be back. Son will not go to the north 183 store because they are always rude to him. read more

TLDR: exactly what you expect, and you get what you pay for. For food I had the New York Italian. The sandwich was pretty good. Bread was soft but just chewy enough. The meat was flavorful lettuce crisp. The whole nine yards. The thunder sauce really helped bring everything together. They have a selection of both Vickies and Lays chips. The location is a bit dingy. Old linoleum, faded paint, etc. but it was clean, just in dire need of a facelift. The people behind the counter were more than polite, so no issues there. read more

Excellent, friendly service, sandwiches and amazing salads made to order, right in front of you. Far superior quality ingredients compared to Subway and even Schlotski's. read more

Came here for the first time today for lunch... another one of E's favorite spots in his "old stomping grounds". They're very strict about observing social distancing guidelines, which I appreciate. The menu isn't huge, which I love; I tend to get overwhelmed with too many options. You can get your sub in either a small size or a large, and can add chips and/or a drink. E ordered the California club, so I did too. Large, with mayo and mustard, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and thunder sauce, on wheat bread. When we got to our friend's place and unwrapped them, they smelled sooooo good. I enjoyed every single bite of my sub. They were very generous with the Turkey, bacon, and avocado, and juuuuust right with the rest of the fixins. Everything tasted fresh and the whole thing pretty much melted in my mouth. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

ThunderCloud Subs - California club - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's about time I review this place. Been here for 20yrs and never disappoint. I can't get enough of the egg salad and how has it not changed in 20yrs? I am so glad my son requested this place for his bday lunch lol he loved his sub, the Cali club. Its filled with avocadoes. He always gets that and is his fave. My hubby got the roast beef. And this time it was stacked. And I love how this place usually stuffs them especially my egg salad and makes the bread so soft and fresh. Would go here again for lunch anytime. We called this in during Covid time and it was fresh and ready for pickup in less than 10mins. Thanks for a yummy lunch!! Loved it. The best egg salad ever. Overflowing!! So satisfied!! read more

This is the absolute best sandwich spot in Austin, and my husband and I are totally obsessed with it. The menu items are priced really well, and the sandwiches are made with great portions. We love the Lady Bird sandwich (chicken salad) and The Club sandwich (turkey, ham, bacon). The thundersauce is a must, and don't forget to grab one of their brownies for dessert! read more

It's hard to go wrong with thundercloud imo. They have some easy online ordering on their website now so I placed an order for my hubby. I got there a little earlier but they were super friendly and efficient. Hubby said it's the best sandwich he had in awhile! read more

Got the NY Italian and great as usual. Took advantage of the Community Impact coupon buy one, get one free. We got it with double meat. Excellent value for the money. read more

This is still my favorite Thundercloud location after all these years! Staff is still friendly and the vibe inside is nice. Love that they have baked goods for sale. The Office Favorite with bacon is my go-to and it's always perfect! read more

I ordered 4 large BLT's and told the guy I wanted everything on them except for onions and to add provolone plus extra Thunder sauce. He then asked me what I wanted on them several times and I explained a few times. He asked me if I wanted Thunder sauce and I told him again that I wanted extra sauce. I got home and none of our sandwiches had Thunder sauce or even salt and pepper. Seemed like he could not retain anything I said to him. Not happy with service or food. read more

Big fan of Thundercloud subs overall. They are simple, tasty and inexpensive. Love this location - the employees are super chill and they were open and did curbside pickup during the pandemic. Never had an issue with any orders or ingredients. read more

I actually really enjoy Thundercloud. The line always goes very quickly. I never have any issues with my order. The food is always fresh, I enjoy the soups just as much as I do the subs. I never have any issues here. The staff is super friendly as well. I've never actually eat my sub there though, I always take it to go. Parking can get full, but there are spots around the corner. read more

Rude service. I'll guess I'll go to subway. Hi Jared!! Please do better in the future. Thanks read more

We like going to this location since it's never crazy busy when we've gone and the employees are really nice. Great sandwiches and the potato salad is good too. Also thank you for having that music recommendation written on a chalk board. We're now listening to the album Good Will Prevail by Griz. read more

As I take over the Dukedomshipness of my local Thundercloud Subs, I guess I owe it a review. As the resident cheapskate, I usually get a "small weekly special, on wheat". Unless it's tuna. Cause.. ewwww... Tuna. But I have been known to get an Office Special (the only egg salad in town I've ever liked, with bacon added) on consecutive days. I always feel dumb spending $$$ on a sandwich when "you could make a sandwich yourself at home". But I have TRIED to duplicate that egg salad at home, and I just can't. The Nada Chicken (vegetarian) is pretty solid, even for a meat eater like me. The avocado is always fresh (NOTE: It's mashed, not sliced). And they have things like green chiles (seasonally) which is nice. My wife would like a toaster there, and I wouldn't mind if they stopped having styro cups (please let me know when they do). I've always had fast, accurate service here, even when the line gets to the door, and I admit that it was a little intimidating at first until I got used to the sequence of the questions they ask when building your sandwich. But I wanted to point out today's excellent service from manager Rachel. They source their bread (at least at this location) from The New World Bakery in Kyle, including gluten free which they've only carried about six weeks now. However, they only get a set number of the GF every day. Today by 1pm. they were already out. Rachel stepped in, as the counter guy was breaking the bad news, and offered an agreeable alternative so that my poor celiac wife "didn't need to go hungry". Good job, Rachel! As much as I love the Office Favorite, I'd never 5-star a place based on one sandwich alone (looking at you, "Hey!... You Gonna Eat or What?"). But you're really close, local Parmer/MoPac Thundercloud... read more

Fast service and great staff! The location is a bit awkward to get to but oh well! You can call in your order if you are in a hurry and they always get the order right so don't worry .. we tried it once and it came out just as if we were at the location in person! read more

After driving around the enormous parking lot for 10 minutes, I finally found T-Cloud hidden away up against the highway. I can't believe that T-Cloud can be staffed this far north, but I guess even bohemians do live up here. From the outside, this location looks a little too corporate, but it's a T-Cloud for sure. I could tell when this customer walked in with sunglasses on... Employee: Can I help you? [no response] Sir, can I help you? [delayed response] Customer: Oh yea... Employee: Too bright in here? [commenting about obviously stoned customer's sunglasses] Customer: Nah man, it's just too early [umm, 1:30pm is early in whose world?] Anyhoo, I got my grub on and it was good. 4/5 read more

Corn-green chile bisque frito pie was DELICIOUS as a vegetarian comfort food. The bisque has a bit of a bite to it, but not too much, and the fritos are salty but the bisque is not, so together they are great. Order it with all the veggies on it. I wolfed it down as quick as anything. The Nada Chicken sandwich was on sale when I went, and was also a good choice. As they say, good for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. My other go-to sandwich is the veggie delight with cream cheese and extra thunder sauce. The combination of the soft cream cheese with sprouts and vinegary thunder sauce is craveable. This location just seems better than most. The workers are attentive and polite, and they even have specials which can only be found at this location. Seems like the combination of a sandwich-maker who has enthusiasm for their work, and a manager who is open, perhaps? read more

I just wanted to give a shout out to Leland at this Parmer/Mopac location for being so friendly and helpful. He made us some pretty fun sammiches ! I appreciated his attention to details. Something as small as spreading the mayo out with a knife to cover all the bread, not just some squirt of mayo in the middle. Little details like this are quality! Will be back soon! Thank you Leland! Hope I spelled your name correctly Thank you! read more

This particular thunderclouds is awful. One of the older men here is always snarky and anytime I've gotten a sandwich there, it's always wrong in some way. Today we ordered a large veggie delight with a nada chicken patty added to it and I received a small sandwich with MASS amounts of hummus, pickles, and lettuce ?? That's it. What ?? This is not the first time this has happened. I absolutely love any other thundercloud location and it's been my favorite sandwich shop until I've encountered this one:( I recommend the one in pflugerville if you'd like to go to one in the area though !! read more

I prefer the Mopac and Parmer location - the guys are pretty cool and they make my sub perfectly. They never have an issue with my request for well done bacon and will gladly crisp it longer if needed - I super appreciate that! Oh! I ask for light meat, too...there's a guy who rolls the extra meat in a separate paper for my dog - nothing goes to waste. :) read more

I am not sure the names of the two gentlemen that served us just now (1:45pm, Oct 3), but their service was the best service in the least amount of time I've experienced. They were polite, attention to detail with our order, made us feel welcomed and overall a very positive attitude. read more

Food is always good here. When the staff are not super busy they are real friendly. Nice to have a local business in the neighborhood. The other sandwich shops are mega chains. read more

Pros: -Will not cater to the d-bag fucktards who go through life thinking it's acceptable to ignore someone because you're on your fucking cell phone. BRAVO!!!!! -Also love their egg salad, which is super delicious and can't be found decently made anywhere else, and the carrot cake?? OMG, someone please revive me...I've died and gone to heaven!! -The picture of Ice Cube on the fountain where one gets ice for their drink cracks me up everytime I see it!! Cons: -They don't wear gloves when making sandwiches, and that weirds me out to an extreme. I don't care how fastidiously one washes their hands...fingernails harbor germs regardless!!! Just gross. -The music is almost always off-putting, and usually quite vulgar. I don't really mind vulgarity per se, but children tend to...and I have 2 of those. Great decor, friendly staff, and terrific sandwiches!! Almost a 4-star experience...just please, for the love of all that is holy, PUT ON SOME GLOVES!! I beg of you! read more

Two large ham sandwiches on wheat for about $3? YES. This is the 1975 price, by the way. Each Wednesday this month they're offering old-timey pricing on a selected sub. I haven't been to Thudercloud much lately. I've opted to go to Subway a few times because they're within walking distance of work. But Thudercloud really is better. It just tastes fresher, and you still feel like you're in Austin when you step inside. I'll be here every Wednesday this month, that's for sure. read more

I've never been a big fan of Thundercloud subs, but gave it another try this past week in a pinch. I got the Austin club, and while it wasn't amazing, The sandwiches weren't as bad as I remember making them out to be. The bread is pretty average, and the veggies are pretty fresh, but not the most flavorful. It really is just an average sub in my opinion, without anything to set it apart flavorwise. They do offer gluten free bread and all that sort of hippy dippy stuff if that's what you're into, but as far as an especially delicious, or unique sandwich you're going to have to look elsewhere. If you're in a hurry for a quick bite, and there's one around, it's not a bad option though. The service at least, seemed very friendly at this location. read more

I'm a major fan of Thundercloud Sub's. Im a the blue born Austinite so must support. I recently tried the gluten free bread option. Yuck. Worst I have ever tasted. They can do so much better. It crumbles like cornbread on the inside but the other part of the bread peels off like chicken skin. So disappointing. read more

Poor customer service. I ordered a curbside order arrived 10 minutes early made my presence known. The clerk acted as if I were crazy and then proceeded to serve everyone else and finally gave me my food 10 minutes late (based on the scheduled pickup time). Very poor process. read more

Yesterday was my first time eating at a Thundercloud Subs, as a friend is on a Paleo diet and she knew that she could get a great salad there - and her salad did look really good! I got a full turkey sub and it was pretty good. The whole wheat bread was excellent, all the veggies and guacamole were fresh - all in all a pretty great sandwich. The only things that I didn't like about Thundercloud was up at the counter, being the first time I had been there it seemed a little hectic. There wasn't a defined line, and it was really odd that the standard sandwiches seemed to come with lettuce and you had to add on almost everything else - cheese, veggies..etc. etc. I spent just over $8 not including tip for my sandwich and an unsweet iced tea. This seemed a bit high to me, considering Subway's prices. I know Thundercloud isn't a giant chain like Subway but it just took me by surprise a little. All in all though, a pretty good experience. I'd like to go back and try more things. read more

I was here when store # 1 opened on Lavaca and here when store # 2 opened on E. Riverside Dr. just east of S. Congress. The rest is history as a giant behemoth by sandwich served as a right of passage to them that would go on to the highest professional levels. As a springboard and damn good great sandwich these folks are the anchor and sustenance of everything is, was, and will forever be. Long live Andy and the legend .... read more

Worst customer service experience with employees Justin, Bailey, and Noah. They completely ignored me for 5 minutes until I finally said, "Im here to pick up a togo order." Its already ready sitting in the back, but noone wanted to talk to me to give me the order. Wondering why noone would talk to me or offer a simple, "Be with you in a moment." Or an, "Sorry for the wait." Not sure why I was treated that way and wonder how many others walk out feeling the same way. read more
