okay YUMMMMM! This place absolutely wowed us! We have driven by a few times but super glad we were finally able to grab some. I got the chimichurri steak sandwich and added a fried egg and jalapenos. It was a bit messy but worth every bite! read more

FoodHeads - Chimichurri Steak Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Met a friend in town for a birthday lunch here and had a lovely time on the front patio! I went with a large caesar salad and didn't quite finish it all, it was delicious though. Fresh limeade was also perfection on a sweaty Austin-in-May day. Everyone working here was very nice - great experience, highly recommend. read more

Excellent food and affordable. Delicious and healthy sandwiches we loved, excellent service

Great lunch at Food Heads today. I had the Cobb salad and my dining companions had the smoked pastrami and Caesar chicken sandwiches. All really tasty and fresh. Fun, casual vibe and crowded by the time we left at 1:30. read more

Fish Tacos were ok they were very salty. There were some parts that were favorable The lami and the bread was so hard it cut up his mouth and was over salted and extremely greasy. keep in mind the salami is salty in general no need to add extra salt. Very nice environment very friendly. read more

Parking here was a bit difficult, the restaurant is basically a small house (typical Austin) and I had to drive down the road to park underneath a building. Questionably legal. I ordered the roast beef and brie sandwich, came out in about 7 minutes, and it was delicious! At first glance I was disappointed by the size, but as I sit here typing this I'll say that it's filling and the quality of the ingredients justify the price. It comes with two small containers with...I think they're pickles? At first, I ignored them because I usually hate pickles, but on a whim I tried one and I was so mad that I didn't try them sooner!! They changed my view of pickles forever. Adding the pickles to the remaining half of my sandwich elevated the flavor to a whole new level. All in all this place is great!! I'll definitely come back to try something else. As long as it comes with those pickles. read more

FoodHeads - Roast beef and Brie - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love this place for lunch. The line can get long at noon so come a little early. The food is so good and the ambience is a plus. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be a challenge especially if there is construction which was the case when I was there recently. But it's worth it. Look for the specials each day. Come hungry or be ready to take some home. Yum! read more

Got the steak chimichurri sandwich on sourdough and it was awesome. Super fresh ingredients and very filling. Great vibe too.

FoodHeads is a weird name in a weird town, so another sandwich joint is a little disappointing. The location is set up in a large house converted into a restaurant. There is seating indoors, on the large porch and on the front lawn. The place is charming and has a little of the "shabby chic" decor. The menu consists mostly of sandwiches and salads. The sandwiches are not just your typical "subs" but have specialty and gourmet toppings. You can get the sandwiches on several types of bread including Nine Grain, 6th St. Sourdough, Rustic Baguette, Focaccia, Telera, Bolillo. If you're not feeling one of the specialty sandwiches you can make your own fresh deli sandwich. There are also vegetarian offerings. One of the highlights of this place is they make all their own condiments in house which really got me excited. Overall, I wasn't very impressed. There was a line of 10 people and it was busy but there was only one person taking orders. Finally, when I ordered I requested my sandwich with bagna cauda and the woman didn't know what I was talking about. The sandwich came and there was barely any condiments on it. In fact the sandwich was just kind of slopped together and was hard to eat. Another highlight were all the specialty ice teas which were delightful. This place is fine and it's nice to sit on the porch with an Arnold Palmer and watch the world go buy. I could easily boost the stars if the service was improved a tad bit. My suggestions are to pare down the menu and focus on the best and most popular. Really highlight the specialty condiments and let people get their own (or serve enough to satisfy). If you pay $10 overall for a sandwich it better be really good. Maybe have two people taking orders during busy times. read more

The food, as ever, is delicious. But I wish the owner would fire his rude and thoughtless staff and start over with people who actually care about other human beings. I placed an online order a day earlier for an 8:15 pickup. I was there at 8:14 on the dot, at which point the front staff proceeded to... glance at me occasionally while chatting with one another. Eventually, at 8:25, one of them came forward with my sandwich and a promise that my latte was forthcoming. Incredulously, I asked why my drink was not even ready now after 10 minutes delay, let alone the original pickup time. "Someone turned off the cappuccino machine last night, and now it's still warming up." This response boggled my mind on three different levels, because A) why is someone this stupid on staff, B) why didn't they turn it on earlier in the morning when they arrived instead of waiting for me to show up first and C) WHY didn't someone approach and explain the situation at 8:15? It would have gone a long way to helping. And apologizing for the inconvenience wouldn't have hurt either. It took another five minutes to get my drink, so a grand total of 15 minutes waiting for an order placed a day earlier. Still no apology. Just "Here you go, bye." Lord above, waitstaff, I realize that we tip ahead of time when ordering online and you literally have no incentive to be nice, but you could at least pretend to care. read more

Are you kidding me! This place is the type of thing that is making Austin famous. Low-key, local, friendly and delicious. The food is what you wish you had at home. Sweet little house, great outdoor seating (with fans). read more

Probably the best food I had while in the Austin area! The chicken pesto with eggplant was literally one of the best sandwiches I have had in my life. I ate it before I could take a photo... read more

For the quality of food, price is good. My Togo order was ready right when I was there but would definitely go back to hang out there. Really nice spot. read more

Very cute place with a lot of outdoor seating (if only the weather was nicer..). I think they have like two vegetarian options; out of those two I ordered 1/2 of the squash sandwich and a small greek salad. Sandwich was flavorful and the salad was refreshing! They put sauces on the side, which I appreciate. read more

I got a build your own sandwich and it was so delicious! Great customer service, very cute interior, very casual. Got food to go and really loved every bite. read more

My quest for a good lunch spot has led me to Foodheads. It's a cute, old house that's been fashioned into a restaurant. The outside had nice seating, and some covered area to avoid the sun, whenever it begins to shine again. I walked in and loved the simple inside. Old floors, weathered looking table tops, and bright menu board. There are many appealing sandwich choices. I went with the pulled pork and it's delightful. I could use a little more hot sauce, but the meat is juicy and tender and sits on a great ciabatta roll. I'll be back!! read more

FoodHeads - The pulled pork - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I. LOVE. FoodHeads!!! It's been a few weeks since I last had it and I am massively craving it again, so until I can get there I might as well give this place the five stars it so deserves!!! First of all--love the location. Cutest little former house. Great outdoor seating. But obviously, the pull here is the food! The chicken and eggplant sandwich is possibly my favorite sandwich in Austin. The flavors, textures, everything are so unique and yet so comforting, and go so well together. My boyfriend always gets (and loves) the chicken special sandwich, he says the tarragon mayo is what makes it but somehow, when he tries to make his own and just add it to a homemade sandwich, it's not the same. Only FoodHeads gets it right!! The squash and portabella sandwiches are amazing vegetarian options. I tried these the first few times I came here because I eat vegetarian 95% of the time, but once I tried a bite of the chicken and eggplant I was hooked. Congrats, FoodHeads, on your sandwich being one of the 5% of non-veg things I eat!! Oh lastly! The pickles!!! This is coming from a lifelong pickle hater (I more than hate them, I will run away from anyone who puts them near me) but I made myself just *try* the homemade pickles that come with sandwiches from FoodHeads and surprise surprise, I loved them. They are not your regular dill-y, pickl-y pickle. They are sweet and tangy and not as broken down as pickles from a jar. Big fan of these and ONLY these pickles, which is quite a feat. All that to say, thank you, FoodHeads. Please don't ever take the chicken and eggplant off your menu or change your pickle recipe. :))) read more

Sandwiches were a 5/5! This was my first time going here and the food was very tasty and fresh. It also came with homemade pickles on the side, which complimented the sandwiches really well. I preferred the ciabatta bread on the apple pork sandwich over the other one. There was no line on a Friday around 1pm, but we had to park a bit away from the place, since the street parking nearby was full. The outdoor seating area is nice, but there were lots of flies inside and outside the place. Would definitely come back though to try some of their other unique sandwiches! read more

Ordered catered breakfast for a group and it was delicious, perfectly packaged, no issues, and everyone loved it! Easiest part of a long weekend of planned events. read more

Loved the pulled pork breakfast taco. It is an order at the counter dog but will bring the food to the table.

Amazing sandwiches! We tried the chicken eggplant sandwich and it was delicious! The chai tea is also very good. They're doing takeout during Covid which is very convenient. We will be back! read more

Outstanding sandwiches. Multi grain bread is tasty, crispy and holds together with their meal sized fillings. The squash and the the lami are my favorites. read more

I had the sandwich pictured with the dog! And it was amazing.. coffee was really good as well! I'd highly recommend.

I'm so upset with myself for having lived in this area for so long without having visited this Austin staple, especially for how delicious it is. I've heard nothing but good things from friends and this did NOT disappoint! I had the pork sandwich with apple salsa and that made for the perfect lunch. It's a cute little spot with almost a coffee shop feel to it. Need to make plans to go again soon. read more

The food is wonderful, and the owners are the best humanity has to offer! Highly recommended!

This is such a great find! They have an amazing front porch/yard for outdoor seating. It's just cozy and quaint. But the food is really where it's at. So tasty. Amazing sandwiches and salads. Everything was delicious. It was the perfect lunch spot for mid-town Austin. Laid back, casual, and cute. read more

cute little sandwich place! i got a tuna melt and raspberry limeade both pretty good!

This place is truly a slice of old Austin cool. I've been in Austin since 98 and it reminds of "back in the day", There is a surprising variety of non meat sandwiches including melty veggie ones, egg salad and a hot tuna melt. I settled on the tuna melt and was glad I did. It was such a nice mix of arugula, and three kinds of melty cheeses. I opted to not add dijon mustard and subbed in their own version of honey dill mustard and chipotle mayo and requested it on toasted sour dough. The vibe is super laid back and is a rambling old house with a porch outside for dining alfresco. The chocolate chip cookies and red velvet cupcakes looked homemade. Bonus: each sandwich comes with a side of home made sweet pickles. read more

Great fresh food with cute restaurant / very austin vibe. I have been back at least weekly since first trying this little gym over 6 weeks ago read more

Wow, this place is a gem! Suddenly became one of my go-to places for a damn good lunch salad (steak and arugula). Their veggie sandwich is also killer. Side note: I almost threw away the pickles, but as I opened the container to toss them in the compost, I got a whiff and they smelled amazing and the are! Not usually a pickle fan, but they're slightly sweet, more of an asian pickling. read more

Sometimes getting excited about a sandwich shop is the simplicity we need and Foodheads is the deserving recipient of such accolades! Many of the menu offerings are sandwiches you've seen before, but with a twist. Finally decided on the grilled chicken/eggplant sandwich and was beyond pleased. Definitely will return to try the other contenders on my short list (egg salad and prosciutto, roast beef and brie) and a cup of soup. The staff were all super friendly/knowledgeable and the atmosphere vibe is great both indoors and out. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the breakfast tacos and muffins! First time stopping in and will be back. Seemed like they were prepping for a large lunch order to be picked up and thought that could be a good option for teacher lunches in the future. read more

All during Covid this restaurant was bustling. They did an amazing job of people doing pick-up and curbside pick up. It has to be an excellent place as it is always super busy. I finally made a visit. I got a half a sandwich with watermelon gazpacho. The soup was delicious - just perfect. The sandwich was also very good. I do not like my condiments to be overpowering so I would say order light on the mayo/mustard etc. Also, as stated previously, this place is busy - so it is not fast food. There is plenty of outdoor seating and there is indoor seating as well. read more

Just wow. Today was the day I had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. The squash sandwich was everything I never knew I needed in a sandwich. Mozerella cheese was super fresh and the balsamic glaze you can drizzle is the cherry on top. Service was great, waitress was adorably sweet and you can tell they truly value customers. Today was my first time, but not close to the last time. read more

Really like this cozy place where you are your dearest friends can meetup for lunch or evening. The food was amazingly fresh and delicious. Really enjoyed the fish tacos and the Cobb salad was fresh, crisp and plentiful. We got there close to closing and the chef came out and offered everyone free pastries. That was very nice of them. Also received $5 discount on my next visit. Will definitely be back to experience other menu items and wonderful service. read more

Great spot for quick business lunch. Counter service only but would love to see them expand this!

I've lived in Austin for 4 years now but somehow no one ever told me to come here. This place is fantastic! Seems as if you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches on the menu. The menu is nicely organized by the meat featured in the sandwich, and there is one vegan mushroom sandwich option(and also salads). The atmosphere is quaint and charming, I'll definitely be coming back! It's a little pricey (about $10 for just the full sandwich and a cup of pickles), but well worth it. read more
