This is a dependable standard to my cheap and somewhat healthy diet. The subs are good, if you know how to order them right (be very picky about what's put on, i.e. only a little sprouts) and they are fast enough. I like the mural on the wall (where the wild things are), very cute, great for kids (not that i have any). The staff has been surly at times, but generally, the guys in there have been nice and accommodating. Nothing to write home about, but just something that's decent and cheap. BTW...the brownies and carrot cake rock the house. It's so hard to resist getting them every time I go in there. I do keep waiting for the day i accidentally grab the "special" brownies, but that hasn't happened yet. besides, if you're working at TC, i doubt you are going to be willing to part with even a little bit of your stash, even as a joke. read more

I was reluctant to try this place because I thought it would taste like Subway. I can't even walk by a Subway without feeling nauseous because it always smells like vomit. But not Thunderclouds. This place is right around the corner from my crib, so I tried it after not being able to decide what to eat one evening. I think I ordered the California sub-it had bacon and avocado and some sort of deli meat. I went through the drive-thru and the dude working there saw that I was with Elroy, so he went and got him some bacon. Elroy now expects treats at all drive-thrus since he gets goodies at Sonic as well. This place isn't always first on my list of choices for a quick bite, but it's a good option for a last minute meal. read more

The thing that I like about this Thundercloud (as well as the other locations) is that they are a local business that meet expectations every time I go there. This particular location is always staffed with polite, friendly and vibrant employees. The ingredients in the subs are fresh, they make them as fast as they can roll them and the price is right. Thundercloud is my "go to" for a quick lunch when I'm looking for something that's not fried. read more

Great subs and service. I highly recommend the Office Favorite with red pepper relish!

I love thunder cloud and this one is close to my house, however every single time I place an order online (pre-paid with tip!) or call in my order they have never started my order before I get there. I have purposely waited 30 minutes to pick up my order thinking they were just busy but I When I arrived, as always, the store was completely empty, had three people working and they still had not started my order. They said they didn't see the order come through, but...I mean it's every time. The reason people order online is for convenience and to not have to sit there and wait, so it's a little bit frustrating. The food is average. The service is enough for me to pause when ordering though unless I have the time to wait. read more

NO GLOVES! Dirty, greasy hipsters in a small shack with dirty greasy walls, smudges and crumbs on the two tables they have, but if they wiped it it'd probably be with a dirty rag. The guy told me he washes his hands, that's why they don't need gloves. He washes them once a week after his dump, I'm sure. Extra charge for olives, pickles, jalapenos, etc. Each sandwich has two prices, one is for a 7 inch, and one a 10 inch, but you wouldn't know that because the menu doesn't tell you. Behind the counter a bunch of men and the obligatory underweight, heavily made-up girl. It's all very Austin. The sandwich was adequate. read more

I've lived next door to this Thunderclouds subs for 8 years and I just love the place. Everyone who works there -- and it's been a rotating crop for sure -- is always polite. They work hard, they get the food out quickly and they are fun. I'm sure this is a reflection of the owner/operator, but that's irrelevant when you're buying food :) Make sure you try the GIGANTIC brownies they make fresh there. You will immediately descend into a food coma, but some things are worth it. read more

Thundercloud is an Austin staple, and it is for good reason. I've had home-grown Austin friends assail me with stories of just how amazing thundercloud is, so I've been eager to try it. Long story short? It's no fricanos, but it is a good deli shop. Between subway and thundercloud, thundercloud wins hands down. I feel like their sandwich quality is better at better prices to boot. Win-win. Still, there wasn't anything else about thundercloud that blew me away. If delis sandwiches are your bread and butter, then yeah - by all means go get your daily fix of thundercloud. It's a solid sandwich at an unbeatable price. Otherwise, you're not missing too much. read more

Big crush on thundercloud subs !! Always a great sandwich, always great sevice read more

So I wanted a sandwich for lunch but I wanted something different than my usual sandwich shops. That was my first mistake. They had Pastrami on special. I was so excited. Until I unwrapped it. First it was on Whole Wheat not White like I ordered. I know I have an accent counter guy but there are no "R's" there. Listen up! Then he forgot the onions. Pay attention next time counter guy! Bread makes the sandwich. This was obviously off the truck bread. They don't bake their own bread. Its a hoagie roll it should be a little crusty. I ordered a large. Mistake 2. I would hate to see what a small was. I was still hungry after that "large" and a bag of chips Mistake 3 ever coming into this place read more

I have been eating at various Thundercloud Subs locations for years. I have never had an issue with them, they are usually pretty solid. This location is disgusting. While I waited I watched the two guys make subs barehanded. Not a huge deal if you washed your hands, but during the course of making three sandwiches they touched their faces, pants, cash register, handled money and credit cards. The one guy rubbed his mustache 3 separate times. One of them full on stroked his giant beard mid-sandwich prep. I'm not a squeamish person, but I was so grossed out by this that I just got chips and a coke. read more

The staff is what makes this place the best, they are super friendly, know my order and make my sandwich crazy fast. I always order the California Club, completely lunch goodness. Or they have the specials which are crazy cheap, just depends on which one is on special. read more

This is my regular Thundercloud, which gets a visit from me at least once a week. Tuna is awesome and best in town. The California club (turkey, avocado, bacon, cheese) is also great. They have great rolls, always fresh and soft. Be sure to get the Thunder sauce, glorified vinaigrette but somehow way more tasty. My son loves the meatball. I also like their salads. They're just iceberg lettuce (not my first choice, would prefer romaine) but they're fresh and tasty, esp. with Thunder sauce as the dressing. All that goodness and it's a local place that's way better than national sub chains. read more

I like this location because it's the one location that does not eff up my order. It seems that the workers at all the Thundercloud locations are high when they're working... I don't know about this particular location, but at least they are making my sammich the way it should be! The price is good. The sandwiches aren't as tasty as a Quizno's, but I'm also not paying $10 for a sandwich, so it's worth it. I do enjoy the meatball sub, but for some reason, it gets the bread a little soggier than one would expect. They have specials. I haven't determined the algorithm of how often they change, but no matter. The specials have not been great, but the price is great! Usually like $2.99 read more

Me and my friend both went in here and explained to the guy how we wanted our meat and cheese heated up, which he said he could do separately. We also both asked for ranch on our sandwiches. When we got our sandwiches, both were not heated and my sandwich was completely dry. Also not super friendly. Fair to say, I won't be going again. read more

Having to come to terms with the fact that I can no longer eat a meal for $3 like I could when I was a little kid (unless you want CiCi's pizza or Gattiland) I'm happy to eat here because in comparison to the other sandwich shops I frequent I can normally make it out with my wallet intact. I like the people that work here but I can understand where some people might be put off by the snarkiness of the workers. I dig it, but that's just me. They always seem upbeat. I live like 100 yards from the place so frequent it throughout the week and am always happy that I did. Plus it has a drive up....what more could you ask for? read more

Thundercloud is quite alright, you know, if you're into sandwiches and soup. They aren't the best sandwich in the universe, but the best sandwich in the universe is not in Austin at all, sadly. Regardless, Thundercloud is solid and their soup is actually worth the money, unlike soups at various sandwich places. At this particular location, I really like the staff. They are friendly and funny without seeming fake. Place always seemed clean to me. I work nearby and eat there all the time, haven't gotten sick once. Great start. They've lots of local/organic/grass-fed etc options, which is awesome and clientele-savvy... Austin's pretty into that. They also have a drive-thru with extremely loud speakers, which is useful if you're trying to order something and funny if you're walking by. read more

this is my favorite thundercloud location Zoe always gets my order by memory and Jeddy is a FANTASTIC manager!

I'll be honest, I've only been here once. I was so disappointed. I always try the meatball sub at any sub place. It's basic and easy. You can't go wrong with meat and cheese. Boy, was I wrong. The meatballs were lacked flavor and were really watery. I think they had the meatballs soaking. When I got my sandwich, the bread was soggy. The servers did look high, too. Eh, that doesn't bother me so much so long as my sandwich is made right. And to their credit they made my sandwich as ordered, they were quick and polite. The taste was what threw me off. Maybe I should try something else instead and be blown away...who knows. read more

I'll keep this simple: 4 stars for food, 3 stars for service, 1 star for sanitary issues. Food: I LOVE Thundercloud's vegetarian-friendly menu. Their nada-chicken subs are a God-send. Everything about the sub is downright tasty. It isn't up there with Jersey Mike's, granted, but it gets excellent grades for the vegetarian love and tastiness. Service: Pretty average. They do a decent job of taking orders and get you in and out in a relatively short amount of time. Sanitation: Terrible. THEIR SANDWICH MAKERS DON'T WEAR GLOVES. Gross, gross, gross. I didn't see hairnets either, and some of those dudes have some serious hair and facial hair. I haven't eaten there in almost 6 months, hoping they'll finally start wearing gloves. Maybe I'll hit them up this week to see if anything's changed. read more

Thundercloud is a staple of my diet. Their cheap yet filling sandwiches have kept me powering through until the late afternoon. I live within walking distance to the Burnett location so I'm there a lot. I mean, folks, we know what Thundercloud is: your basic tasty sandwich, weird cashier and loud music and we love it! I will say that even though I often walk there, it's pretty sweet that they have a drive-thru. Tip: If you like avocado on your turkey sandwich, it's cheaper to order the california club with no bacon then simply adding avocado to the turkey sandwich. read more

I had high expectations going to Thunderclouds. When I went they ran out of wheat bread, so the start of my experience wasn't too great. The staff was busy (two guys) talking amongst themselves and seemed a little annoyed that they had to serve another customer. It was around 7:30 PM so I guess they were winding down. Besides the service, I felt the sandwich was just average. Maybe my expectations were too high. The day before I had Which Wich and absolutely loved it. I guess it's simply not as good as Which Wich. read more

I have loved this particular location for a long time. Always in a good mood, and they even laugh at my bad jokes. Yay. Sandwiches are great, taste fresh, and are prepared with love. MUCH better than Subway & Quiznos. read more

Always amazing, friendly, prompt, courteous service. I never see anyone not washing their hands. Subs are always fresh, delicious and affordable.Love this place!! read more

ThunderCloud Subs - Veggie Delite, with hummus, add chicken, on wheat :) - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Healthy eating, low prices. An Austin original. When I'm hungry, and don't want to be filled with fast food, Thundercloud is where I go. They have monthly specials which have great prices. Staff here are friendly and cheerful as well. It makes waiting in line seem not as bad as it really is. read more

I dream about having a ThunderCloud sub here in Lubbock. This place grew on me like a small little piece of moss on a tree into a Jungle of greens that could cover the forest floor. It is just so simple and fresh. They aren't pulling any weird tricks like trying to reinvent the wheel. They just do things like have cool workers who provide fresh ingredients. I like that every single time when I come I can order the same california club, add alfalfa sprouts, take away tomatoes and it taste the same every time. No surprises just my comforting sandwich that I can always rely on. I personally think you are doing it wrong unless you get Mrs. Vickie's Jalapeno chips, put them on the sandwich and then use their homemade ranch to dip it all in. I know you might think this place seems basic and not fancy enough and you would be wrong for that. read more

This is one of my regular lunch hangouts. Folks are always nice and friendly and definitely add to the character of what makes Austin cool and unique. My 4yr old always cracks me up when she accidentally calls them Thunderstorm Subs instead. Anyway, great local business that I've been frequenting since my college days that always hits the spot! read more

Just left the shop with my beloved Turkish Delight and Diet Pepsi. When I got home I had a no turkey Turkish Delight and regular Pepsi. Very unhappy that I tipped them and won't return to that store. read more

why is it that i always get an unhappy emo worker at this location? every freaking time i come in here to eat some guy has the pissed off/depressed look on his face as he makes my sandwich. it's not like i have anything against piercings, tats or dirty black hair. but damnit, stop looking at me as if i killed your damn cat because i asked for NO ONIONS! i like the sandwiches. i've never had a problem with the food. the office favorite is incredibly yummy. but i just don't want to bring myself in to order or cause the staff any reason to slit their writsts. read more

A+++ Never mind the cheesy commercial on the radio, this place is de-lish! To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting to be wow-ed but, even with such a simple sandwich I was extremely pleased. Not sure if its their tasty avocado spread, soft wheat bread or the fresh veggies. My turkey sandwich hit the spot and the service was extremely fast. I'll definitely visit again! read more

Good alternative to a street full of burgers and fast food. Good selection of cold and hot subs. I love the pastrami...very simple but served with quality meat and good bread. It is also super cheap. You can get two sandwiches for under $10. They also feature a special deal, making it even cheaper. My fiancé's favorite is the office favorite (egg salad w/bacon). I also like the meatball and the turkey. Try it with thunder sauce. read more

I come here regularly for their subs, which are great, but they couldn't have hired a staff with worse customer service skills if they tried. read more

Staff is usually high af (or maybe just slow and squinty?) but I kind of like it. More of a wild-card and local feel than Subway will ever be. They have great sub options for pretty cheap. read more

Management - can someone look into this store ? They close down before 9:00 pm, sometimes the door is looked at 8:45. They are always running out of bread bread ! Really a sandwich shop without bread???? If they are getting close to running out - why doesn't someone run down to one of your other shops and pick some up ? Rocket science - no doubt. Come on pull it together.... read more

Do not go to this location. The tables were dirty...place is small. The worker who took our order had to hv us repeat the order continously....his short term memory fried (too much chronic). The pre boxed salad...NOT!Bathroom had disgusting dirty mop and bucket right as u entered. Sandwich was barely there. Not like the old days of Thundercloud subs... ..I wont return to this location. read more

This Thundercloud looks like one of the oldest around town, which is usually an advantage in a city like Austin. Not so much at this location. The servers (evening shift) were checked out by 6:00 pm and barely passable as "friendly", and the food was definitely not satisfying. My boyfriend and I went through the drive-thru and ordered the broccoli/cheese soup and a roast beef sandwich on a gluten-free bun. The soup was like watery cheese, hardly any broccoli chunks -- and the chunks that were there were stalks, not crowns. The gluten-free sandwich bread was incredibly crumbly, to the point where it was difficult to hold and eat the food -- a sign that the bread was left out too long before serving. The roast beef and fillings were comparable to Subway. I could forgive a dead-faced employee, but the food was so disappointing that we'll probably never return to this location. We'll give the other locations a shot before writing off this local chain for good. read more

Thundercloud makes some truly delicious sandwiches. I've frequented this particular branch for several years. My two favorites are the NY Italian and the Veggie Delite with Hummus. Those are my favorites - but just about anything on the "Signature Subs" menu is great. What makes these sandwiches great are the fresh ingredients that are matched well. The freshly sliced veggies are never overpowered by huge amounts of mayo or a bad combo of other flavors in the sandwich. Order a NY Itlalian (with the roasted red peppers!) and you'll understand what I mean. They've got the best cold subs in town - hands down. Now for the only reason they aren't a 5 star sandwich shop - consistency. The staff is almost always friendly but you'll get the occasional sandwich maker who just doesn't get it. They'll pile on an excess of one of the ingredients or they will sloppily smear the avocado over only half the sandwich. Some people like it when their sandwich maker piles it on deep. I do not. The right amount of each ingredient is what makes the sandwich. So they lose that 5th star to their occasional sloppy sandwich maker. read more

Came in here tonight 10 minutes before closing and we were greeted so Nicely! Not once did we feel like we needed to rush to be out before 9. The place was clean and the 2 workers were friendly and kind. I have NEVER had a bad experience at this location. I will be a forever customer, y'all keep rocking with your excellent customer service and signature sandwiches!! read more

Just like every other Thundercloud in town, this one has its own 'tude. The Maurice Sendak-inspired decor really adds something extra to this especially tiny location. I was reading some of the other reviews for this location and I got the impression that most of the complaints were related to the staff. I guess I've grown accustomed to the non-fuck-giving employees at Thundercloud, so I don't get bent out of shape if I'm not greeted with a smile. If you like their sandwiches, just go in and get one. If you don't like their sandwiches, grab a bite at one of the other literally dozen or more eateries less than two minutes away. My wife is particular about her Thundersauce, and they get it right at this location, so I'mma keep comin' back! read more

I can't believe no one's mentioned the best feature of this Thundercloud location: DRIVE THROUGH. I often roll up in a baseball cap and pajama pants. read more
