I haven’t tried all of these but a couple of them have me questioning the taste buds of the voters. Is there any place this is missing? I’m trying to hit them all by the end of the summer

    Can confirm Little Deli sandwiches are absolutely elite. Get a grilled club, key word: *grilled.*

  2. I need to try Little Deli again. I know this sub loves them. And I love clubs. Had the club there and it was very underwhelming. The bread isn’t even toasted. I thought I might be making this up and I just looked up pictures of the club and it looks very weak. Maybe I got the wrong sandwich?

  3. I will ask this, and I’m being 100% earnest.

    Why are people infatuated with thundercloud? Just because it’s Austin? Ive had it a few times and it was just very basic, normal sub sandwhiches, like a cafeteria or something. The place was neat, and the workers very nice, but the food was just… extremely whatever

    Thunder cloud is old reliable like the subway of Austin but it has no business above cheba hut

  5. OriginalJuuzou

    Meat & Bread and Cheba Hut should be higher. How is Thundercloud so high?

    Tuccis was ridiculously expensive back in ‘16. I can’t imagine the cost now

    Bella Donna is great and has been around for a long time.

    Big fan of Tucci’s Italian Gourmet. Very solid sandwich on a great hoagie roll. Hate the fact that a fountain drink, chips, and extra peppers, is over $7. If you ask for extra peppers you will be charged 75 cents.

    Little Deli’s so solid, RIP Fricano’s

    My best friend just opened a new food truck called Atlas Sandwiches. It’s on the east side in between Lou’s and the old Stay Gold (Coral Snake now?). They’re delightful and worth a try. Greek inspired. Hope he makes the list next year! 🙂

    I tried foodheads several times when I lived near them and never found anything I liked. It was a little too hippyish with sprouts, avocado and mushrooms. If I’m getting a sandwich I want and good Reuben (specs or central machine works but still not the best I’ve had), Italian (Home Slice or Favorite), club (Hutts), or tuna (thundercloud Texas tuna).

  12. Little deli’s turkey mozzarella on kaiser is undefeated.

    I need to try Little Deli, never been

    Hoody’s in RR is the best Philly I’ve ever had. The owner is so nice and employees are awesome. I love that place so much and I really wish it was in Austin but I’m so glad they never sold out and expanded only to begin to suck, á la Torchy’s etc.

    HEB kosher deli. It ain’t quick or cheap but it’s good. Granted it’s mostly patronized by Jews who only eat kosher meat and Muslims who also prefer kosher meat, but there’s a good number folks who just like the taste. I’m a fan of the Rachel, although I need a nap after having one

  16. Hoody’s has a very solid Philly cheesesteak (for central Texas). Love the line of spicy peppers down the middle. Worth getting if you’re in the area.

    It was a while back but I swear I dropped like $18 at Snarf’s on a regular sandwich combo and haven’t been back since. Good sandwich but not for that price

  18. BubblyHabit

    armando’s kitchen and deli! from my understanding the guy running the whole operation worked at fricanos and is serving up all the old sandwiches. gave them a try not too long ago and they are amazing

  19. AtxRealShit

    Thundercloud before Hoody’s is diabolically criminal

  20. Dontbeacreper

    Has no one tried Delaware Subs on spice wood? They are fire

  21. rchecker

    I would add Royal Blue grocery store sandwiches they’ve some great tasting options and sauces are great.

  22. texbuck40

    As a vegetarian, I love the variety of plant-based options that Ike’s has. I know fake meats aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve tried a few different subs there and most of them have been amazing.

  23. AFDmerika

    Little deli’s sandwiches are so freaking good. I drive 40 minutes to get one 1 to 2 times a month

  24. sobrietyincorporated

    Otherside Deli should be #1.

    Only pastrami I eat in Austin proper. Their chopped cheese is on point.

    All hand sliced as it should be. It’s the closest to an NY deli, for sandwiches, I’ve seen.

  25. ispitinmyspittoon

    Why is thundercloud above tuccis?

  26. Necessary-Trick-2308

    Tuccis good but not that expensive good jmo

  27. TheRealMrCrowley

    Little Deli has the best chicken salad on wheat I’ve ever had in my life. Also, their pizza is better than Homeslice.

  28. fikustree

    That muffalata from Rebel Cheese is probably my favorite.

  29. _Itsallogre

    Snarf’s if fucking terrible – tastes like if subway used cardboard for bread and took out even more flavor.

    Their branding looks like DPH addicted Beavis and Butthead

  30. Cass_the_lurker

    I like Dia’s Market. They have a deli counter that serves really good sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. They are really slow and can’t handle an influx of people though. So don’t go with a big group.

  31. Apprehensive_fern

    Listen I love thunder but they should not be that high up on the list…

    RIP Gourmands
    Am I the only one who doesn’t get in to Thundercloud? What’s the order there?
