    Small Cali club on wheat bread with sprouts and jalapeños added
    D H.

    The only Thundercloud location I frequent. Clean location and employee practices are cleaner than other locations, changing gloves often. Thank yall for that! My regular order is a small Cali club on wheat bread. They have a great variety of add-on toppings, I always add sprouts and jalapeños. Sprouts are always fresh and crisp! I don't know how they do it. Always delicious and great variety of chips tho I wish they started carrying baked hot Cheetos, a girl can only wish! Thanks 201 E Riverside!

    ThunderCloud Subs is located very conveniently to the bustling street of South Congress. It was pretty easy to find a parking space. The menu is not overwhelming which helps with decision making. The staff gave me time to look over my options and when I was ready, the sandwich took no time to make. It was very fresh and light. They have healthy options too, like wheat bread. It's a very simple, down to earth place, like somewhere to stop by for lunch. I didn't dine it, so I can't speak to the dine in experience. But I did see a few people sitting inside & there is plenty of seating room. This is my first sandwich shop I've visited in Austin & look forward to returning when I get the sandwich craving again.

    Delicious Italian sub

    Stopped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed by the Italian. I'll be back for sure.

    Veggie Delite with Nada Chicken
    Hannah K.

    Thundercloud Subs is an Austin staple for a reason. Their veggie delight sandwich IS indeed delightful, in stark contrast to the pathetic assemblage of stale bread and watery vegetables that Subway churns out. This excellent vegan option comes complete with hummus, avocado, sprouts, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and honestly I don't even remember what else because there was so much going on. For the crowning jewel, add their "nada chicken" patty for some meatless protein. It has a nice crispy edge and fairly neutral taste, which makes it a good pairing with any sort of sauce or toppings. Definitely opt in for oregano, salt, and pepper to give it an extra flavor boost. Note that it doesn't keep very well and it's bit messy to eat even the first time around, which is absolutely perfect. If you're not wearing half of your sandwich by the end of the meal, was it even fully stuffed to begin with?

    Austin Club.  Was supposed to have avocado, but didn't.

    The Austin Club was supposed to have avocado, but it was missing when I got home. Other than that it was pretty good with everything tasting fresh.

    New York Italian on wheat

    We had a dance competition around the corner at the Palmer Center and ordered some sandwiches for the girls. I had a New York Italian. It was awesome. Liam was awesome as well.

    This specific location/franchise has the best FRITO PIE, don't sleep! Really friendly and accommodating staff! They proportion everything really well too!

    ladybird - chicken salad, guacamole, onion, jalapeno, bacon, thunder sauce
    Madeleine A.

    Great combo of flavors & textures. The chicken salad didn't overpower the avocado & vice versa. The creamy combo was not overpowered but balanced well with the crunch of jalapeno, crisp bacon, and onion. There was an interesting oil on the sandwich. Someone said it was thunder sauce so for any other locals, is this correct? Is the shine of this sandwich really called thunder sauce?

    Rotisserie chicken with potatoes and bread + butter, what's not to like? Well, if your menu is…read moresimple and some of the items aren't cooked/baked that well, then it's going to be a letdown. Normally, I wouldn't ever order from a restaurant like this since none of the menu items satisfy a craving of mine, but I had a friend in town who was craving just this. Rotisserie Chicken (3/5) - sure it comes with some pretty tasty sauces (chipotle and salsa verde), but the chicken itself was actually quite dry. I'm sure it's juicier on most days, but this time the chicken was quite dry, even the dark meat portions. Baby Potatoes (4.5/5) - These were pretty flavorful and the roti sauce was a nice addition. But this style of roasted potato is probably on the lower tier of potato forms. So even though these were well done, it's not my favorite form of potato. Baguette with Butter (3/5) - The baguette wasn't really baked well. I got two of them and the outside was a bit too tough (slightly crunchy,but mostly on the hard side). I expected something crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, but the toughness of the crust made it difficult to enjoy the fluffier interior. Arugula salad (4/5) - Solid arugula salad. Nothing special about it but I needed some veggies and acidity for balance. Overall, kind of a disappointing experience.

    I'll occasionally order this for lunch and it's delicious and the sandwich is the perfect lunch…read moreside. The chicken is extremely moist and flavorful. They add goat cheese and arugula on the sandwich as well which adds extra flavor. There is also a dressing you can get, I like to ask for it on the side so I can dip it there. The potato's are excellent as well but would prefer to have them a little bit more crispy. It's fast service - not a sit down restaurant. Would recommend for a delicious lunch order that's fast and easy.

    It's not a gimmick if they have good food…read more Handsome Dan's has been on my list to try for months, but I've been on a keto diet most of the time, so a bunch of restaurants have been put on a "someday" list. Last week I was on a break from keto, and my husband read my mind. He took me here as the first stop on a rainy Friday night date. I know they have good sandwiches, but they also have their "bait shop" schtick. They're not near any significant fishing spots, and I didn't see any evidence of bait, but whatever. Their sandwiches are good, so they can get away with it. While I ate my sandwich on the patio, we discussed the novelty nature of many Austin businesses, and which ones can hold up and which ones are pure hype. I ordered the Club sandwich. It's not a true triple-decker club, but it was the sandwich that had the best variety of fillings in my opinion. Everything you'd expect in a classic club, but easier to eat because it wasn't stacked absurdly tall like other clubs. The sourdough bread was very crispy, and the meats, cheese, and vegetables worked well inside. On the side I got potato salad which I like more than their other option, which was chips, but the potato salad wasn't anything special. Their patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a rainstorm. They have some glider chairs off to the side that are good for lounging on, but when it really started to rain we moved in to the center of the patio. I'm glad I got a chance to try Handsome Dan's. I doubt I'll be back anytime soon because huge sandwiches like this need to be an occasional treat for me, but if you're in the Springdale area looking for a satisfying meal, this is it!

    Handsome Dans was on our list because of all the online and social media hype. It's tucked away in…read morethe back next to Stargazer in a brewery/ warehouse off Springdale and Airport area. The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.
