Their turkey tastes so good, and the new rennovations really make it stand out. Shoutout to the chefs /all the crew members.

According to locals, ThunderCloud Subs is an Austin staple. But, for my first visit, it completely missed the mark. I ordered the foot-long California Club, and it was the saddest sub I've ever had. The lettuce was micro-shredded, clumped together and translucent, there was just one tiny chunk of avocado, the bread looked lifeless, and the meat and cheese were a train wreck. Disappointing, will unfortunately choose a national chain over this local "staple". read more

1. I ordered a meatball sub and there were no meatballs 2. The pastrami I ordered (which is 1 of the 3 hot sandwhiches on the menu) didn't get heated 3. The dude didn't wrap the bottom of the sandwich so as soon as it was lifted from the bag the bottom half fell off onto the table 4. Took 15 minutes to make one COLD sandwich once I made it to the counter I get that the whole aesthetic is "Austin stoner vibes" but maybe don't rip the bong before walking into work. Could and should have just made this jail sandwich at home read more

Food was great, and although the atmosphere of the place was not what I expected the service and the food made up for it 10 fold. The cashier was very kind and the food was fast and delicious. 5 stars read more

Thundercloud consistently delivers quality service and delicious sandwiches. I come here a couple of times a month for a quick work lunch though I try to arrive after 130pm to avoid the long line. You can't go wrong with their California Club or Tuna. If you get the monthly community newspaper, you can snag a buy 1 get 1 free coupon to boot! read more

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

See all

Sandwiches are always consistently good, and this location is really convenient. Removing a star because the employees in this joint are always on island time... everything moves very slow, so don't come here in a rush. read more

We always love Thundercloud's food, but good grief the incompetence is outstanding. Nothing is ever ready even close to when they say it will be. We picked up our order and two sandwiches were on the wrong bread, one had two ingredients it shouldn't have had on it, and the additional topping chosen for that sandwich was as on a different one. Just a nightmare if you had allergies. One sandwich had two ingredients total (bacon and egg salad) and it was missing one... Not the first time we've had a bad experience at this location. I wanted to give them benefit of the doubt, but it's always like this, so I'm writing the review. I get it, we were all stoners in high school, but you have to be able to function man. read more

Haven't been at a Thundercloud in three years and my last few experiences were great. This one was a major disappointment with stale bread, dry sandwich and not very fresh ingredients. read more

Always a great experience here. The sandwich's always tastes fresh and the workers are always friendly and warm. It's tucked back in the corner of the shopping center but the inside gives the classic thundercloud vibes. Definitely my goto lunch spot when I'm looking for quick but delish sandwich's! read more

I ordered to-go and I was supposed to be able to choose my soup option at the store. They chose for me and when I asked said the other one "wasn't warmed up." If I had wanted them to choose for me, I would have chosen that option on the website. The person helping me was super rude too. read more

fucking assholes closed 10mins before 9 and locked me out. I'm a born and raised Austinite and this is bull shit. I wanted a sub after work and the least thundercloud can do is stay open until 9pm. read more

Usually it's great, like all other locations. Tonight however, I found multiple hairs in my club salad. Total waste of food and money. No hairnets or gloves used. read more

Always good! Can't beat the whole wheat bread. So fresh and so soft! Love the veggie sandwiches and the tuna! I really enjoy the broccoli cheddar soup as well. Always friendly staff and eager to make it right for you. Most locations are clean and have a great Austin quirkiness to their decor. Love Thundercloud and will always enjoy this place as long as I live in Austin! read more

*Previous lady walks off* I walk up to the register and put my chips down. Cashier: "Im not ready for you yet." *shocked so i took my chips back and waited back in line* It was evidently rude another cashier took my order... I work in food service. Learn to say "We'll be right with you" That was was first and last time going to this location. Sodas were flat too, don't waste your money on an extra drink read more

Thundercloud Subs - Turkey sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great subs and smoothies, not a chain. I'm new to the area and am always happy to support the local shops. 'Funky Austin' vibe with friendly staff who told me about their two most popular 'named' sandwiches. I tried The Austin with their smoothie named 'Blue', made with blueberries and banana. Another dark berry but can't remember which one for sure. Delicious! Highly recommend over the usual Subway or other national chains. These folks are running a cool, quality sandwich shop! I will return. read more

Just a cool and quirky place to get a classic sandwich. I ordered a small but I would consider it a full size sandwich. And the people were nice! read more

Thundercloud Subs - Mesquite chicken sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered online for pick up today, and it was the saddest sandwich I've ever received. I got the veggie delight, and they put practically no veggies on there. It was really just hummus and bread. Shout out to Anthony though, I ordered in person the other day and he was delightful! Anyways, I'd recommend not ordering for pickup at the least. read more

I love the sandwiches here. The blonde girl making sandwiches has great customer service. It was 8pm and I'm sure she had been there for a full shift already and she had great service despite a long line showing up just as I had arrived. I'll keep coming back to this location based on the service I encountered. Good job management and great job to that employee. read more

Thundercloud Subs is a local small business that we are happy to support - and let me tell you why. My family and I have had take-out from this store on probably 10 to 12 occasions and have been consistently satisfied. When my company gives me a meal stipend for DoorDash - you can BET I am getting my lunch from here! We've had the California Club, the Pastrami Club and da Roast Beef Club just to name a few of our faves. The ingredients are fresh and service is prompt and pleasant. read more

Its so refreshing to visit a Thundercloud subs joint, to devour some the classics. As usual their ingredients are the freshest and of great quality. I love supporting a local business which has been serving Austin region for such a long time. The staff preparing my sandwich was prompt and polite. He took all the necessary precaution while handling the food and following CDC protocols. I was glad to hear that the business has picked up during pandemic and wont fall prey to COVID induced bankruptcy. read more

We were here today for lunch and it was great. We had 2 large sandwiches 1 club 1 Italian both on wheat with chips and potato salad. The sandwiches were full of multiple meats and veggies the potato salad had good size pieces of potato with onions and perfect amount of flavor. We made 2 meals from the one order and it was great the second time as much as the first. Very fast clean restaurant read more

I am countering my previous review. I spoke to the manager and he gave me 2 free sandwiches. These were excellent quality. Great customer service! read more

Thundercloud Subs - A veggie "delight". A soggy mess. - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

They have specials, an excellent selection of breads, meats, salads (egg, tuna & chicken) cheeses as well as better than average add - on's. A delicious meal at any time. read more

I love Thundercloud, but the staff always seems a little too 420 friendly. If you've seen the movie Zootopia, the employees move about as slow as the sloths at the DMV. As slow as they move, you'd think they would at least get the order right, but while I was waiting for my food, they had to completely remake an entire order because they didn't read that things were supposed to be on the side. On top of that, they messed up my order by giving me smalls instead of larges and were 15 min past my pickup time. Some previous staff that worked there had a similar snails pace, but they were at least friendly. This staff just seemed dead inside and didn't seem to care about the getting customers in and out quickly. I propose they change their motto from "Fresh, fast and healthy" to "Slow, wrong and high." read more

By far the worst location to visit, I live in the area and I will never be back. The service was bad and the food tasted old. Iv never had a bad experience at a thundercloud before but very disappointed. read more

Terrible customer service. Rude employee. Food doesn't taste great anyways. Thundercloud sandwiches are far inferior to other sandwich shops-I will not be returning, especially to this location-employee needed to be fired for rudeness. read more

We've lived in this area since August and this Thundercloud has been our go to for quick meals. Lately, it's been a lackluster experience. They've shorted me on a cup of soup twice, filling the cup just over half. Today, my soup cup was full but they're still out of the garlic balsamic and had to scrap the bottom of the tub for bleu cheese dressing (it was gross/oily, I didn't eat it). Gentleman who made my Nada chicken salad said it was labor intensive and didn't understand why I wanted a scoop of egg salad when there's a boiled egg included. I just want my salad the way I want it, man. Fingers crossed for improvement 'cause I love Thundercloud. read more

I have wanted to check out thundercloud subs ever since I moved here about two months ago. I think it was mainly the name for me on why I wanted to check it out. Anyway my husband and I stopped in today and each got a sub to go. I ordered a small roast beef and avocado sub on wheat. The bread tasted fresh and so did the ingredients. I even tried a little bit of thunder sauce which I think it made my sub. My husband ordered the NY Italian sub. It was tasty and contained ham, salami, capicola, peppers, & oregano. The only complaint if I really had one was the employee. He was a little slow and we never had been there. It would have been nice to have been explained the ordering process since it was different than the usual sub places like Subway. read more

They don't follow basic food handling precautions. He makes my sandwich, rings me up, gives me my change, and then proceeds to wrap my sandwich with the same pair of gloves that he just handled money with. read more

I'm not a huge sandwich guy but when I eat them they are from thundercloud. With the sub of the month deal in rotation there's always a deal to be had. Hot subs , cold subs, soup, and baked goods for the win! read more

Thundercloud Subs - Big Paul - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I actually didn't place an order here so I can't attest to the food hahah but... I was parked outside the store for a long time waiting on a doctors appointment and couldn't help notice this place's customer service. To the gentleman with the backwards hat and salmon colored shorts that was running around and helping customers with pick up/to-go orders: BRAVO. Not only is hot as hell outside, but he had a huge line of customers and kept his composure. He was cracking jokes and really making everyone forget they were sweatily waiting for their food. This place is up the street from my house and now that I've witnessed what kind of customer-service oriented people they have during a freaking pandemic, I will definitely be ordering my next sub from here!! read more

I absolutely love this sub shop. But I turned around and walked right out when I noticed the sandwich maker's mask was not covering his whole face. To be safe you have to cover your nose too. I'll be back post pandemic. read more

my favorite thundercloud in austin. always playing good music. service can vary based on employee but most of them are super chill and helpful. the dude who made my veggie delight yesterday did an amazing job layering all the ingredients efficiently (and i add a few ingredients that can be tricky to incorporate into the sandwich) so props to them! read more

Boo tc. Standing in line watching one person help in store guests and 5 more handle to go etc while not greeting anyone? What happened? Sads. read more

I've been eating here a lot since the pandemic started. I live super close by and it's very convenient to swing by on my lunch break. The staff are always very friendly and pleasant. read more

Great sandwich with just what I wanted. And done in timely manner by a thoughtful young man.

Always, always a huge fan here. We come back for two reasons, the subs (duh) but the service from everyone.

This place is better than Tucci's Subs and Cafe 1628 but that isn't really saying too much. It is more professionally run and the staff is on the ball. What I didn't like was that all the cold cuts were precut and portion controlled with separators. A sandwich should be a work of art created by the craftsman and not something predetermined by the accountant. That style is the trademark of Subway which shouldn't be replicated. I thought their Big Paul sandwich was pretty good-it's big and varied enough to satisfy. The tuna fish salad and roast beef with avocado sandwiches were lackluster. Among the sandwich places Thundercloud is worth a try. read more

This is my local Thundercloud, as it's 1/2 mile from my house. I love this location because I love eating subs made by people who sound like they just smoked a big fatty. I mean it. The "sandwich artists" here or whatever they call them at T-Cloud are pretty awesome and always have the best things to say to make me smile. Like a little bonus in addition to my meal. I have seriously eaten the same sandwich three times this week- it's that good: small turkey & avocado on wheat, lettuce, tomatoes, t-sauce (oil, vinegar & spices) & American cheese (but only 1 slice cut in 1/2). I don't know why it's so amazing, maybe it's the freshness, or because it's an Austin-based business, or the friendly people who serve it to me. Doesn't matter why, I just know it's good. read more

After having my review deleted due to flagging by biased Yelp users a couple years ago, I'm re-visiting and writing this whole thing. This review is based on my experiences back in fall of 2009 just fyi. I do not like Thundercloud. I have been to both this location and the South Lamar location. My experiences at the South Lamar location are explained in that review. As for this location, it's the same deal. I'm all for local business, local food and Austiney places, but hygiene and food standards have got to be important too. Along with the other location, I got food poisoning from them as well, which made for a really fun night. I know that TONS of people go here with no issues, but that, unfortunately, wasn't the case for me. The first time I went, I got food poisoning. I decided to try it a second time because my friend insisted on coming here. After handling my friend's money, the guy came back and started to get ready to make my sandwich and asked what I wanted. I asked if he could wash his hands first since he just handled money (AND in the fall) and he acted like I had asked him to climb Mount Everest. I explained I got sick last time I ate here and he said that it could've been anything, people get sick all the time... Hi, are you my doctor? No, I didn't think so. Thanks.. The food itself does taste good and fresh, but it is a bit expensive and you have to pay extra for each additional vegetable. The sandwiches are also just a bit small for me (I eat a LOT). Also, not gonna lie, those jingles on the radio are incredibly obnoxious. Like I said, I love to support local business, but I won't be coming back here again. read more
