Sandwich

ThunderCloud Subs

It’s no small feat for a sandwich to be at once no-nonsense and playful, but that’s the abiding spirit of this Austin institution (est. 1975). Signature subs like the Office Favorite (egg salad and bacon) and the California Club (turkey, avocado, bacon) are reliably good, and made to your exact specifications by somebody who’s probably in a band. Always get the ThunderSauce.
