Food Food...I love the name! This restaurant came as a suggestion from a nearby shop owner. As neighborhood Food Food evangelists flowed into the restaurant, I immediately knew that this would be a good experience. The locals went in knowing precisely what they wanted. Thus, my expectations for a good meal started to rise. My server suggested the Turkey Reuben as one of the most popular items. I get weak at the knees trying popular items. To be transparent, I am not a huge fan of rye bread nor sauerkraut. Sometimes you have to venture outside of your comfort zone...so, I did. It was a calculated decision. I opted only for half a Turkey Reuben and a chicken mole tamale...another popular item. My initial thought upon looking at the sandwich was that it had been burnt. I took a bite and I was in complete nirvana. The sandwich looked like a panini; however, it did not taste completely like one. The bread had been toasted and took on a wavy texture. The bread was crunchy and flavorful...with each bite being better than the last. The sauerkraut was mild and the cheese thin. No ingredient overwhelmed the other ingredients...they worked in perfect harmony. read more

Food Food is amazing comfort food such as meat loaf, pasta with red peppers, empanadas, King Ranch casserole, chicken spaghetti, spinach lasagna; hot and cold veggie sides; and great fresh salads such as fruit, cucumber, Greek, etc. Also sandwiches. Some rotating entrees; specials each day. Best place in Austin to get food to eat or freeze for those who are ill or experiencing a loss. Usually very nice staff too. You can eat there. Only think I don't like are their desserts. They are beautiful but dry and never hot the mark for me. However, I know food is very subjective and they sell a lot, so most must find them tasty. I'd like them to be more moist and more complex--maybe sea salt to balance too much sweet?--but I can't complain. Parking lot is scary, but just proceed with extreme caution getting in and out; parking; and as a pedestrian. Right on Exposition by the little grocery store. read more

I discovered this place a long time ago and hadn't been there in since before the pandemic. My mistake! They have some of the absolute best sandwiches and prepared meals you're going to find in Austin. No joke! It's a casual little deli with not a ton of seating. Show up at lunchtime and you'll have a long line because the regulars know this place and come back often. The sandwich selection is nice and they'll customize any sandwich anyway you want it. I had one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I've ever eaten there today. There's a nice selection of breads and additions. They have all sorts of great prepared meals like chicken pot pie, King Ranch casserole. They also make really excellent empanadas. I brought home a chicken pot pie empanada to have for dinner today. Least I forget, there's incredible baking going on there. They have the best chocolate eclairs I've eaten in Austin. Many other homemade right there desserts. Unfortunately I don't eat sugar anymore, so I can just stare at them with desire. Try this little, hidden gem, you will not be sorry! read more

My absolute fav place, being going for over 30 years! Love the gazpacho and deviled eggs, not to mention the lemon mini cake!

Good homemade food and baked goods specials vary by day and are listed on their website. There are only 2 tables do it is obviously a take-out place read more

I have to come back and give this another review, because I wasn't able to take advantage of all of the deli style entrees and sides as I was on a quick lunch break. They had a huge selection of delicious looking foods and sweets that were begging to be ordered. However, this review is based off of my order for my recent visit. I ordered a whole J.C. Special sandwich and it was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and I loved the basil vinaigrette. My only complaint is that just the sandwich without a drink or chips was $11! $7.50 for half of the sandwich! These prices seem very steep for what is basically a grilled cheese sandwich without any kind of side. The service was fast and they were very friendly and the cafe itself is super cute with lots of light. Great spot for lunch with a friend! Like I said, I wasn't able to try any of the many deli style options, which seemed to be priced more accordingly. Their website reflects their old pricing which was $4.50/$8 for a sandwich, and seems more reasonable. I will be back to give it another shot, but as for the $11 sandwich, it's four stars for me. read more

Six months ago I ordered a tuna salad sandwich "with everything." It was wonderful, packed with tuna salad, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, pickles, onions, etc. Today I ordered the same. The man behind the plexiglass just repeated "lettuce and tomato," and that's all I got on my tuna salad sandwich. The tuna salad did not even cover all of the surface of the bread. Disappointing. read more

The cheese crackers here are my favorite staple that they always have. The pesto salad is another good go-to, while the other dishes rotate in and out. It definitely leans more towards healthy prepared foods, so be aware of that when ordering. For example: the spinach and cheese tamale I got appeared to be 90% spinach, with very little cheese. I like that they have prepared foods, to order sandwiches, and premade dishes you can take home and bake yourself. It's a great blend of all possible needs. When I visit I normally get a larger bake casserole, something to eat then, and a treat. You pay a little extra over what you could make it for yourself, but that makes complete sense, given their prep work. I would not stop there every day, as a result, but it's a nice treat from time to time, particularly if you're feeling under the weather and want comfort food but don't have the energy to bake it yourself. read more

Great service, Good food! We love coming here after school to pick up dinner for the kids.

I could have gone to HEB and fed half the homeless In Austin in the time it takes for them to make a sandwich. It took them 50minutes to make 2 sandwiches and it wasn't even busy. I would give this place 0 stars for service if I could. read more

- insane-wich (5 stars) - cucumber dill salad (5 stars) - black bean salad (3 stars) - Scott salad (2 stars) - gazpacho (5 stars) When navigating to Food! Food! with Google/Apple maps, I always turn the sound on so I can get the robo-voice exclaim "Food! Food!" It gets me every time. This place is great for buying picnic supplies. Everything on the menu is delicious (except the Scott salad) and highly portable. read more

I recently visited here on a Friday afternoon when looking for a quick bite to eat near my apartment. This place was a quick five minutes away and I have noticed that several times when I visited the Randalls here. I was a bit hesitant because of the poor reviews, but it was close and you seem like a pretty quick option. When we walked in it took a couple minutes for anyone to say anything at the counter, but once they did they were pretty friendly. The place was extremely dead and the vibe in here was just really poor. The food looked all right, but they had a lot of sandwich options. I ended up going with a tuna melt and a pecan bar and I was extremely satisfied. For my two items I paid $15 and I thought this was a fair price to pay. If I were dating just for the food I would give it a five star, however it was the other factors that dragged down the rating. read more

This is too good good to pass up. A hole in the wall in a strip mall and guess what? Social distancing is observed as is mask wearing. Plexiglass keeps you safe. Line moves quick! And friendly? Oh boy so friendly. So in summary, no need for a tude, please do not be rude, come in with the menu previously viewed, leave in a good mood and then eat your delicious food. Food. read more

Bad. Bad. My first visit there and my last. The ordering process is chaotic and highly inefficient during the lunch hour, which likely resulted in my receiving a tuna sandwich that resembled the one I ordered only very slightly, even though I had to repeat it four times to two different counter clerks. I ordered sourdough bread, received dry, inedible whole wheat; ordered a tomato, received lettuce; ordered mayo, received none. At least it had the tuna salad, though the recipe for it was bland and uninspiring. The serving of fruit salad was also a disappointment, comprising just nine pieces of fruit, including four pieces of watermelon the size of a die and fading in freshness. The carrot cake was OK, but encased so tightly in plastic wrap that most of the icing lifted off in the unwrapping So, despite its four-star rating, I have to warn others not to get your hopes up. Pretty bleak experience overall. read more

Cute little cafe with sandwiches made to order and tons of baked goods and other pre-made food like lasagna, meatloaf, pastas, etc. Sandwiches are fresh and tasty and the bread is nice and toasty. I've had the Mikey and the turkey club and they're both great. I've also had their empanadas which are also very good. They toast them up in the panini press to get it crispy. I haven't had their dessert before, but they're flying off the shelves whenever we're there, so they must be good! A perfect place to stop by to pick up food for a picnic lunch. read more

This place is awesome!! Great food. I've tried a variety of their sandwiches, and pastries. I highly recommend this place over your local Starbucks that's next door hands down. Very friendly staff and great service. Lunch is a bit of a wait, but that's because it's popular with its great food. Well worth the wait if you come during that time. read more

Grew up eating the veggie cowboy sandwich, cheese wafers, and galaxy bars. Years later, Food Food hasn't changed a bit. Just as warm, friendly, and delicious as ever; so grateful it's still here after all these years! read more

I eat here at least once a week. I eat here so often the staff knows my order by heart. I eat here so often the staff starts prepping my order before I even place it. I eat here so much that I teared up when my favorite sandwich maker quit. I eat here more than I care to admit. It's because I love their sandwiches. They're simple, but they are done very well. The ingredients are fresh, and their sourdough bread is wonderful. It's also because their cupcakes are freaking good. Like better than 99% of the other cupcake places around town. Their cupcakes are richer and denser than most, and they have good frosting. Food! Food! makes my favorite cupcakes in town! And my favorite sandwich! And they have exclamation marks in their name! I love exclamation marks! And Food! Food! read more

Good, solid food joint. They don't use a ton of preservatives and instead opt for using whole foods. Price point is fairly high. You CAN find cheaper options on their menu but they aren't as diverse or are somewhat minimal. Grilled cheese is one of my favorite options. Cheese and meat (with tomatoes..you have to add the tomatoes! Seriously!) on your choice of bread pressed into panini style. It's SO good. Lasagna is pretty solid choice as well but pricey for the size that you get. Lemon bars are really yummy. The cookie bar portion is delicious and perfect. Carrot cake has the PERFECT ratio of cake to frosting. Yum. Overall, a great food joint just be prepared to pay a bit extra for all the organic and good-for-you ingredients they use. read more

Great sandwhiches , tons of variety. Unique flavors. Fast and friendly. I have zero complaints.

The service couldn't be worse here. It used to be fine and now they just don't care. A few times now we have ordered online and they say it takes 20-25 min but it ends up taking near an hour for basic sandwich orders. They also now make you still wait in line for internet orders, which completely defeats the purpose. They are the least efficiently managed sandwich shop I have ever seen. read more

Very good but expensive for a small sandwich. I was amused to say the least when I heard it was called Food Food. The ingredients and bread are top of the line quality. I got a stanwich- which is a meatloaf sandwich with ketchup, meatloaf, melted cheese and some lettuce on ciabatta. The bread held up perfectly to the chunk of meatloaf, nicely grilled for that crunch too. I would come here more often if it wasn't so pricey for me, but hey its right next door to my work. read more

Good food and friendly staff. Be prepared for a long line at lunchtime but worth the wait.

This place is amazing. I have my fav, and haven't tried other things on their menu, but the turkey bacon club on sourdough is sooo good. And finish off with the galaxy bar and it's heaven. I'm so happy they made it through COVID. I call ahead and pay with credit card and they bring it to my car. Awesome, smiling service. read more

This place is wonderful. I had never been and told the staff. Instead of asking me to take my time like most people do the employee started to explain how everything works and what was available in the restaurant. Everything we ordered was perfection. I had the Turkey Bacon Club and a Texas Tea. My boyfriend had the J.C. Special and the basil vinaigrette sauce was to die for. We split a chicken empanada because it looked soo good and it was! We also got a rocky road bar for dessert and it was a wonderful bar of chocolatey marshmallow goodness. This place is great and if I'm ever in the area I will definitely stop in. read more

Great place for lunch or quick pickup for dinner as a much more healthy fast food alternative. Love and will return. read more

If I lived in Tarrytown and was made of money, I'd probably give this place 4 stars. My one experience there was good... but like Debbie said, we paid over $20 for two sandwiches (no sides or anything... straight up sammys), a cup of soup, and an iced tea. And one of the sandwiches was a "ham and cheese on wheat." Which was ham, cheese, wheat, toasted. Like $7. Seriously? My sandwich was really tasty... like a spicy Southwest Turkey something... it was quite good. But I could have eaten 2 of them... or at least I would have enjoyed a pickle and/or some fruit/chips with it. And tiny it is. One long family-style table and a smaller three-top. That's it. Not great for a lunch meeting. So yeah, this place is perfect for Tarrytown... as is evidenced by the 15 minute wait when we got there at 11:30. But if you're on a budget or your name isn't Dell, skip the hammy sammy. read more

I was excited to try this place! I walk in with my service animal and immediately get yelled at by not one but two people telling me no dogs are allowed!! before i can speak i'm pushed out by one of them. there's no signs outside to have warned me either. I'm already prone to anxiety and i barley walked through the door before getting yelled at to get out, i was in a rush so i placed an order to go from my phone in my car and waited a long time just to eat a mediocre sandwich and casserole. i won't be going back here. they are not friendly to animals or even humans!! when i went back in i got rushed i did not feel welcome at all. just go to the randall's next door. read more

Food Food? Really? Whoever came up with that name must have just thought to themselves: "Hey, let's just say what we serve twice and call it good!" It'd be like owning a brewery and calling it "Beer Beer", or a strip joint that's called "Tits Tits!".... hmmm, that's not a bad idea actually. Even though the name is a bit silly, this small deli in a cute little strip mall is not silly at all. The people were friendly (even the guy in the Packers shirt... Booo!) and they were slinging everything from Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pound Cake to BLTs, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Meat Loaf Sandwiches. I didn't try the sweets, but they looked amazing. I went for the Cajun Meat Loaf Sandwich, a cup of Chicken Noodle Soup and a Deviled Egg. All that cost me right around 8 or 9 bucks. The portions were small-ish, but if you are practicing portion control it'll be just right. None of the food was amazing or different in any way, and I still think Little Deli is the champion of all delis in Austin. However, the food here was tasty and of good quality. I enjoyed my whole meal and I definitely want to go back to try some of their sweet confections. So in the end, Food Food serves Good Good Food Food and the service is Friendly Friendly. If that sounds Okay Okay to you then give them a Chance Chance. read more

When Michelle says tiny she isn't exaggerating. The place is tiny. For a take out lunch though who cares if the inside seating is hard to come by? I would come back here to get lunch to eat outside on a nice day only - or for one of their very decadent yummy looking desserts. The place is really a bakery with some food. The food I had was good but lunch for two was pricey. Two sandwiches, one drink, and one soup added to a little over $20. read more

Whenever I'm in Tarrytown, I like to pop in to Food Food for a little somethin' somethin'. This small deli offers up sandwiches, delicious casseroles, salads, and lots of desserts - brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc. The bonus? They have a few gluten-free dessert goodies. One is called "chocolate bomb" and I'm here to tell ya it IS da bomb. It is somewhat akin to a coconut macaroon, but a little more cookie-like in texture. It has chocolate, coconut, nuts and whatever else that makes it fan-freekin-tastic. My hope is that one day they will offer their sandwiches on gluten free bread. There is something wonderfully ironic about seeing soccer Moms pulling up in their Land Rovers and Jaguars dressed to kill in the middle of the day to shop at Randall's next door while Mr. Naked Hippy Dude is happily riding his bicycle down Exposition with nothing on but a marble sack covering his nether regions. God I love Austin. read more

This tiny little cafe/deli tucked away in a strip mall in upscale Tarrytown is a hidden gem. I think the Tarrytown residents have been trying to keep it to themselves, but for the good of all Yelpkind, I'm letting the cat out of the bag. The main entree offerings at Food! Food! during the day are sandwiches, most of which are priced in the $6-$7 range. They also have a little deli case with pre-made selections ranging from empanadas (of which there were maybe six varieties, including lamb and chorizo), soups, tamales, and a varied selection of miscellaneous choices that didn't seem to have any particular unifying theme other than it all looked delicious. There are also a couple of cases full of delightful looking baked goods of all kinds. We had just run in here to grab a quick snack for my friend (who is pregnant), so all we bought was an empanada, which was scrumptious and toasted to perfection for us after we ordered it. After we ate, I asked one of the women working behind the counter about their cucumber walnut soup, and she gave me a very liberal taste of that, as well. It was absolutely amazing - it reminded me of a gazpacho because it was served cold, but I liked it better - gazpacho is pretty carb-y and can be kind of acidic because of the tomatoes, but this perfectly garlicky blend offers your body a little protein fix, as well. I loved it. The seating situation here is a little funky. There is one very large, long table with chairs all around it in the middle of the (small) space, then a bar around the outside with stools and one four-top table in the front. We were here at kind of a weird hour, so I don't know if parties just share the big table or what, but my guess is that most of their business is people grabbing quick meals to go. The people working here were just ultra-nice and gave the entire experience a great laid-back, friendly vibe. I can't wait to go back! read more

We were in the area taking a peek at the house that we are going to be renting next month. It was lunch time so we made our way over to Food Food for a bite. Food food is located in a shopping plaza with a supermarket and all kinds of other fun stuff. The restaurant itself is tiny! We were in the middle of the lunch rush, but were able to find seating no problem. There is a huge table in the middle, another smaller table, and some seating around the sides of the restaurant. Both of us ordered sandwiches. I ordered the Italian Vegetarian with fresh mozz, basil, some other nonsense. It was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I also ordered some eggs and we splurged and bought a nut bar for desert. Everything looked delicious. Not sure I agree with Shawn about the food being overpriced. Both of our lunches were under $10 and both of us ordered a sandwich and desert. Not too bad in my book. I'll be back here, probably multiple times a week, haha. read more
