My girlfriend actually showed me this spot and I like to stop in every chance that I get even though it's not very close to home. It's definitely the deli bahn mi that keeps me coming back regularly as well as the staff--they really are artists of their craft. If you know exactly what you want they'll give you that and if you're undecided or new, they have great recommendations that really do provide a well balanced bite. Every time for me, even when I'm not grabbing a deli bahn mi or ordering for others, has been a perfect sandwich. They have online ordering, phone in ordering, and you can also order there in person. The line gets long during the rush so if you're limited on time, I advise ordering ahead. Thundercloud from what I understand is originally an Austin chain. They serve soup peddler soups (also an Austin staple) and even offer cookies and smoothies which I also enjoy. About a week ago I got my girlfriend a cookie from Paris baguette and she later commented that she STILL preferred thunder clouds chocolate chip cookie over the bakeries (says a lot for a sandwich shop cookie to trump a bakery tbh). You can choose from white or wheat bread & I really enjoy how they offer two sizes of a sandwich along with plenty of options for meat and veggies. It keeps the possibilities endless. Like I mentioned earlier my go to is a large deli bahn mi on white bread with sriracha mayo add salami and salt and pepper. (I've found that the manager's special, the deli bahn mi is not available at all locations, so I'm thankful to always find it at this one). My girlfriend usually grabs the Austin club on white bread with honey mustard and sprouts and both keep us coming back ultra satisfied and ready for another round. I've also enjoyed their frito pie, Big Paul, and their meatball sub. The drink and chip selection is also fire, I especially enjoy their canned organic lemonade. Outside of the food and their service I love how well kept this place is. Always clean, always inviting, and always a great option to have in rotation. Highly recommend stopping in to visit read more

Always delicious. Always consistent. No matter if you're in Austin or the San Antonio location, Thundercloud Subs is fantastic. My favorites are the nada chicken sandwich and the veggie delight with hummus. Both are top notch non meat options. Today I had the nada chicken. It's a plant based chikn patty with all the fixings. And it was just as I have grown to expect and love. Perfect. The service is friendly and chatty, which I have always enjoyed. The restaurant is small, but spacious. The real trouble is the tiny parking lot which is on a very busy peninsula. You can also order online for pickup which is fast and efficient too! read more

I ordered through DoorDash and I really enjoyed it. I got the pastrami sandwich and I added some veggies. I was so good!! It tasted fresh. Also I want to note the gluten free bread was soft and tasted so good. If you're gluten free, definitely try thundercloud subs. read more

ThunderCloud is an Austin staple that should really be a Texas staple. It's almost impossible to find someone that's tried them but didn't love them. San Antonio is lucky to have them here! The sandwiches are fresh, flavor packed, and overall delicious. Even the normally boring club sandwiches stand as menu flavor icons thanks to the good ingredients. The signature Thundersauce doesn't add a ton of flavor, but veteran visitors will notice a good difference with it added. Staff is friendly and makes a great sandwich 11/10 times. Ordering ahead using their online menu is a good choice when you're in a rush. Parking here is somewhat tight but it's worth walking in from the neighboring HEB parking lot. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Indoors you'll find a lot of fun San Antonio nostalgia like Spurs snippets among other vibe setting pieces. They're really taking their first expansion city to heart. San Antonio should return the love, these are excellent sandwiches. read more

I get how people are into certain things because of where they are from but this is honestly just another sub shop. I comparison to large chains it is pretty average. The subs themselves are ok but you have to be careful while eating due to the ingredients moving around as you bite into the sub. I even get the whole hipster vibe walking into the sub shop, just not someplace I would go out of my way to go to. I guess if you live close by and have an urge for a sub you might want to try it out. read more

Love, thundercloud subs , anytime we come to the San Antonio area we eat here. Have been eating at thundercloud since I was a little girl. I wish they had more locations in Texas. We live in East Texas, and I would love to have one close to us. read more

Stopped here for lunch and enjoyed my sandwich. The meats were good, but I found it just a tad weird that you pay for the body of the sandwich and then pay extra for toppings, such as cucumbers or peppers. I wouldn't go if you're super hungry. The bread is about the size of a bolillo, but if you're looking for a lighter lunch or somewhere quick to stop, try it out! read more

Thundercloud Subs - . Italian - Delis Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Decided to stop in and pick up a sandwich for my "Sunday Lunch in the Park" ritual. I was excited to see all the vegetarian options they had! I was torn between the Nada Chicken and the Veggie Delight. After a quick convo I decided on the veggie delight. But I definitely want to try the Nada Chicken. I was told they use MorningStar chick'n substitute. When I ordered the Veggie Delight, I got mine with cream cheese, sprouts, blk olives, mushrooms, cucumbers, pickles, and Swiss cheese. I got the small size and combo'd it with chips and drink. It was a great sandwich. I appreciated the sprouts as that's not always a thought with veggie sandwiches. The mushrooms were a great add for protein. I found the staff to be very friendly and enjoyed a nice convo with them as my sandwich was prepared. It's nice to see businesses still thriving during COVID. All staff members were wearing masks and they had setup precautions inside to help with traffic and safe distancing. They were allowing indoor dining but also have outdoor patio seating. read more

These subs are the very best in this city, hands down! No other sub or sandwich shop has been able to top the authenticity and freshness that ThunderCloud Subs provides. Everything is always fresh. Always! You never have to ask for fresh veggies and bread. Everything is always fresh. The service is always great and the music is definitely the vibes. We always leave with our Scooby Doo subs in hand with a big smile. read more

Not sure what we did wrong coming In to this location. When we walked in 4 of 5 team members were taking care of guests or working in the back. We look up at the menu to get the names of the order correct and are greeted with a "what's up". No greeting, nothing. As basic and transactional as possible. If that is the guest service that is acceptable at this location, I would suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Wes & Mac are the BEST and the sandwiches are A++ and very filling! I highly recommend the Veggie Delite with bacon. Also, I got the gluten-free bread & it is very tasty and not dry at all, with which some other GF breads have trouble. read more

Quick counter service, pretty clean inside, nice funky vibe and more importantly a very good turkey club sub with great chip choices too

I had the meatball sub and went back for an Italian. Both were solid. Very tasty. The service is unique for a sub shop... one on one feeling, like a sushi bar, while they make the sub. The sandwich is not a foot long but was satisfying. read more

Thundercloud Subs - Veggie delight - Delis Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Damn good sub. Only real knock in my opinion is I could've used a bigger one. Spicy peppers were flavorful. Bread had a decent chew. Not stale or hard at all. Service was great. I should've asked her name. Got us in and out. Turkey with peppers was banging. Tea was alright. I tried the sweet tea. It was just barely sweet. Still good but I might try the unsweet next time. Definitely gonna be in the weekly rotation. Just don't go if you are starving, it might not be enough to fill you up. Bonus was the Dog outside to keep us company. read more

This place is AMAZING! My coworker told me about it and it's definitely a great hole in the wall sandwich shop. They cut everything fresh and the taste says it all. A must try! P.s. add sprouts! read more

I love the T cloud! I'm from Austin, grew up eating T cloud. I was never so happy as when I found this place in SA. And it is good, to. Ok, I had to update because I just had the most absolutely worse experience ever in a thundercloud and I have literally been eating there almost my whole life. Be careful who serves you. I will be saying no if that one is to be my choice. I had to remove two stars for that one. And very passive aggressive, too. Ick! read more

Been a ThunderCloud customer for years, first in Austin and now in San Antonio. All locations are consistent in delivering excellent quality and value. I cannot stop eating the Turkish Delite ;-) read more

Nice little sub shop with a good variety of hot and cold subs. They also have soups and salads. The prices are fair and they have a weekly special at a real good price.

Thundercloud Subs - a close up of a cup - Delis Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Always friendly and good food and service. Cheap eats too! Visit frequently and spread the word!

Thundercloud is home of my sandwich appetite, far and away higher on the list than other chainy sandwich shops in the area. They rank higher in sandwich quality, atmosphere, and have overall better menu choices. Of course T-cloud earns extra points with me for having vegetarian options that aren't just a garden between two loaves of bread--their nada chicken and nada chicken parmesan sandwiches are delish and fulfill any vegetarian sandwich lover's dream. And when it comes to taste buds, mine are satisfied with the spicy options I can add to any sandwich--hot sauce, super fiery jalapeños, spicy mustard. I'm also really into the new Thundercloud thing, which is turning any sub into a salad. Not that I would voluntarily give up that soft and wheaty bread, but if I did, I'd want a well-dressed, ingredient-heavy, deconstructed sandwich salad. Now for the sad news, the star that I begrudgingly had to drop from this favorite sandwich staple. I've been to several T-cloud locations in Austin, San Antonio, and Houston and every location seems to have these same downsides. Every once in a while, the consistency of the exact same sandwich is off. Sometimes it's the perfect meal you envisioned and have come to know and love, and sometimes it turns on you quicker than you could have ever expected. Very unfortunately, their call ahead service has proven to be accurate just about 60% of the time, with lots of sandwich toppings left somewhere in the abyss and leaving you to wonder if it's all just one big conspiracy of Thundercloud wanting to hoard their ingredients as often as possible, or a problem of staff that provides selective attention. However, this Nacogdoches location seems to have a better track record than all of the rest. Even considering these faults, Thundercloud is still a sandwich shop I hold dear in my heart. Even on a bad day, it's light years better than the next sandwich shop! read more

AMAZING SUBS got the california club and it was a 10/10. its only not 5 stars because they dont toast any of their sandwiches like they dont have a toaster but if you're a fan of cold subs this is 100% the place to go read more

Here's another chain restaurant that S.A. needs more of however I'm doubtful more locations will pop up when you consider a few things: 1. Thundercloud isn't popular here like they are in Austin. To Austinites, Thundercloud is what Bill Miller's and Taco Cabana is to us San Antonians. They choose Thundercloud and value it dearly over Subway because they're all about being "weird" and giving the proverbial middle finger to the nationwide chains and corporations. That leads me to my 2nd point. 2. San Antonians love their Tex-Mex/Mexican food and their tacos so it's highly unlikely Thundercloud would survive here. Look at what happened to the former Medical Center location, it's an Einstein's Bagels. Yeah I know it's weird, San Antonians aren't too fond of bagels either. On to my 3rd point. 3. San Antonians are hella cheap and love a bargain. And if that means Subway offering footlong subs at $5 each then so be it. Why do you think there's one on practically every corner here? Hell I'm willing to bet you the price of a Subway footlong that you live, work and/or attend school within a close proximity to a Subway location. Don't lie! In case you haven't noticed, I'm probably in the minority that chooses Thundercloud over Subway for many reasons: 1. They're never overzealous with the mustard. They just put a small amount and evenly spread it on the bread. Subway will just squirt a huge amount all over the bread and put all the fixings on it. 2. While it may be a bit higher than Subway, it's not as expensive as Jersey Mike's however the sandwiches are just as good as Jersey Mike's, Lenny's and Quizno's and much better than Jimmy John's. Perhaps I'm a bit too trusting since the workers don't wear gloves when handling the food but I'm pretty sure they wash their hands. The girl who made my sub wasn't a drug addicted hippie in her 40s or 50s, just your average, everyday college student trying to pay the bills and she was much more friendly than some of the employees I've encountered at most Subway locations. For dessert I recommend their brownies. They're better than the ones at Jersey Mike's. And the chocolate chip cookies are better than the underbaked ones served at Subway. Just as long as you luck out and get some fresh cookies instead of some stale ones that have been sitting for more than a day. read more

Yum! This place makes really great subs. I don't like that they freeze their bread. They have a big sign reminding the employees that if they run out, get more from the freezer. But it's still good. The employees are friendly, and willing to oblige your indecision when ordering. They are helpful too. I like that they almost always have a sub on special, which is really cheap- usually around $4 for a whole sub (NOT a foot long- that's another sub shop) They offer really good chips, and maintain a good selection of reading materials to read while chomping on your sub. The place is clean. I appreciate how they support the neighborhood schools with newspaper articles proudly showing off the top athletes from the local school. If the special isn't up to my liking, I always get the California Club, which is the best sub on the menu, if you ask me. read more

This is when I realized I need to take a picture of that. It's delicious! I asked for extra thunder sauce. This is the New York Italian no relish but onion let tom. It is so much better than subway. I stop anytime I am close by! Months later. Got smart and called it in. Smoothies and sub. My sub was exquisite! Time I got home 20 min away my sub was delicious and not soggy. Thank you read more

I was so looking forward to visiting this sub place at a friend's suggestion. Unfortunately, the start of my experience was not good. The counter employee was a Low-Talker. I could barely hear him. And because of me repeatedly saying "What?" and "Could you repeat that?", I'm sure it threw him off his game because he FORGOT to put the Egg Salad on my Sub. Luckily, I was eating my sub there. To redeem himself, he added Bacon when I asked him for it due to his error. My other bad experience was the Bread itself. It was a bit hard and stale. I'm going to assume it's because I got there at 6:30 pm. The place closes at 8pm. So I can see the logic in me not being served fresh bread. read more

The sandwiches here are so good, you won't believe they're actually a chain! Sadly there are only two locations here in town, neither of which is particularly convenient to me. I wish these places were as common as Subway seems to be, because for only a dollar or two more per sandwich, the quality is exponentially better. And I'll let you in on a secret, too- if you pick up a copy of The Current, there's a 90% chance you'll find a buy-one-get-one coupon to use, too! I recently found one of said coupons and went today with the BF, where we split The Office Favorite and the Austin Club sandwiches, both large, and together had a meal for $7 and change. Cant really beat that, can you? The Austin Club is basically any other restaurant's version of a california club, as in club with avocado. Sounds basic, but the avocado here is a million times better than the pricey green goop haphazardly spread on your sandwich at Subway, and the bread and veggies are super fresh. Get it with the spices, oil, and vinegar, and it'll blow your mind just a little bit. For a fairly common sandwich, this place gets it really, really right. But the appropriately-named Office Favorite is on a whole 'nother level. It's basically your favorite breakfast sandwich of bacon, egg, and cheese, but kicked up to a luxe lunch: egg salad, bacon, cheese, and veggies. Don't tell me you aren't already curious. The creamy, decadent egg salad is perfectly complemented by the salty crunch of the bacon, and the cheese and veggies somehow just add to it. I'm gonna go ahead and say it: I think I've found my favorite sandwich, guys. In addition to great sandwiches, this place also has smoothies, yogurt shakes, and soups- today's feature was red beans and rice, and the aroma was out of this world. BF and I are already planning to hunt down another coupon and make this place a regular stop. Next visit we'll try the tuna, the hot pastrami sandwich, and the chocolate Elvis smoothie... y'know, if I can resist the siren song of the Office Favorite. ;) read more
