    Meatball sub straight up.

    MEATBALL. SUB. That is all! Well, nice staff and cozy place to grab a great Sammich.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great food, awesome people what else do you want!    Had the NY salad & large meatball sub and they were delicious!

    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.

    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.

There was so much to choose from on the menu but I was on a mission to get that wrap and I'm glad I did because it was so good! Truly a refreshing lunch and a craving satisfied. Fun fact this was also my first time trying a Cannoli and needless to say it will not be my last. Jalapeño kettle chips are always a win for me and I will be adding that sweet peach tea to my grocery list. Service was great and swift even with the crowd. I have no complaints about my experience here, I truly enjoyed everything. The deli does have some outdoor seating, indoor is for ordering. This place is in such an awesome area because there are so many shops & antique stores on this block so this is great place to recharge before snagging your next great find. Thank you Beacon Hill Market & Deli, I'll be back!

    Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

Service was prompt, and the ambiance is a funky cross between a bakery and a diner. Parking is easy in their private lot. I first tried their 'Texas Style' pastrami Reuben sandwich. This is smoked pastrami brisket, served with on their house-made marbled rye and topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and garlic aioli. Quite a bit different than a NYC-style sandwich. The aioli instead of dressing, thicker slices, etc etc. But wow, did it taste good. It's as if a pastrami Reuben and a sliced smoked brisket sandwich had a love child who inherited the best from each parent. I also tried their salmon gravlax on an 'everything' bagel. This bagel was baked in-house, topped with the cured salmon, cream cheese, tomato, red onion, capers, and a sprig of dill. Rustic, beautiful, and delicious. Definite recommend! This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh.

I think the reason I didnt "love" the pizza is because its so different with the sourdough base and not what i am used to. I would like to return and try a sandwich or something else on the menu. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. My main reason for trying out wild barley was because they have sour beers, it wasnt the best sour beer i have ever had, but i have noticed in Texas the sour beers have a strange taste to them that i cant quite put my finger on. Overall though it was refreshing and cold. my husband really enjoyed the cider. We will be back and i hope after trying something different on the menu to change my review to 5 stars,

You order those with a person, then that person takes you to a register. At the register, you can order any of the plated food. They give you a number and the. You go to a table. The servers are very friendly, and the food came out promptly. I love that there are a lot of round tables instead of just square ones, but the chairs do have arms, so they hugged my hips. Parking: They have a parking lot. We were with my hubby, dad, and stepmom, and they had never been to a Mexican bakery, so I had to do a lot of explaining. We got three items from the bakery: a bread one with cream and blueberries, a flaky cup-shaped one with cream, and a triangle flaky one with guava. They were phenomenal! Our fam got one of the flaky cup-cshaoed ones and another cupcake-shaped one that was bread. They loved them both and said they would be back later for more, or tomorrow morning. For our meal, we shared the chicken ranchero Benedict, and it was so tasty on delicious sourdough bread! We used the bread to soak up all the runny yoke and sauce from the meal. There was not a trace of anything left on the plate. Our fam got scrambled eggs and bacon and said it was yummy. They all drank water, but I enjoyed a hot tea latte.

This place may look like a tourist trap, but it operates as a local café with incredible vibes. It errs on the expensive side, but to be fair I think everything is worth it. El buenos dias was very good, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I did not like the beans but that was not the focus. There was so much avocado and a perfect amount of tomatoes. The egg whites were cooked perfectly and they were super fluffy. The bacon and the turkey were outstanding in quality and taste. The pan dulce was to live for. Try the Dubai chocolate and mini chocolate ones. It's worth the hype. Just go ahead and check it out.
