1st visit to this restaurant and we were greeted by the staff. Parking lot is close and there is seating inside and outside. The sandwiches are unique. You can switch out the panini's to try two different choices. I ordered half of a corned beef on rye with swiss, a lemon thyme turkey with lemon aioli and argula on sourdough. Both of these sandwiches were delicious toasted perfectly. Taking a moment to highlight the turkey sandwich with lemon thyme this was so flavorful and is one of the best sandwiches I have have eaten. This was served with coleslaw that could have a little more flavor. Hubby had the hotdog with pimento cheese but they were out if the chilli so he did not get the full experience. We would love to come back a try the soups other sandwiches and get some of that chili. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. I was greeted upon entering and approaching the counter. The staff was friendly. I perused the menu and settled for the Houndstooth House Salad with a scoop of Tuna. Initially, I was going to dine in at a table outside. It was a beautiful day and lunch outside was an obvious choice. Table service was provided and my salad was brought to me. However, I couldn't stay after all and took the food to go. I was able to finish eating once I got home. The House Basil Rice Wine Vinaigrette was the star. It was delicious and complimented the salad so well. Not sure if the vinaigrette is bottled for sale. If not, it should be. It was perfect. I would return just for the vinaigrette. read more

Finally stopped into Houndstooth a few days ago! We have been coming to this area for a while now, but just finally stopped to eat here. It's a small place with only 2 little tables on the inside, but lots of outdoor seating. Mainly for to go orders or to eat outside. They specialize in sandwiches, but also offer tacos, soups, and salads. I opted for the Lemon. Thyme Turkey sandwich with a side of macaroni salad! I was in between than and the potato salad. The owner/manager was there and she let me try both! It was a tough choice. My friend got the tacos which looked amazing too. They do offer large portions of sides and soups to go in their cooler too. Price was $14 for the sandwich and just $1 to add the side. Service was excellent and the food was prepared quickly. If you want a quick lunch stop, come here! read more

Food was ok. Deli style panini sandwich shop was exactly what we wanted. While the cute, shop offered no real seating inside. And even though we ate there just now it is still pretty hot for Florida. 4 stars because sides had lot to be desired read more

Houndstooth Kitchen & Eatery - Potato Salad 8oz and Chicken Avocado - Salad Near Me - Maitland, Florida

Houndstooth kitchen is a charming small business located in pleasant Maitland with a lovely outdoor eating area! It's surrounded by heavy activity so be sure not to blink and miss this tiny shop. It's the definition of a small business, run solely by the sweetest couple. After ordering at the counter, you can take a seat and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. After deliberation, I decided to order a Rueben panini with a side of macaroni salad. Let me tell you just how far this sandwich exceeded my expectations! Excellent corned beef that was very lean and noticeably high quality. The macaroni salad was lovely as well. It was a Dijon dressing which I appreciate instead of a heavy mayo spread. Houndstooth is definitely a cafe meets deli vibe and I'm here for it! You should be too! read more

Looking for a good sandwich for a Saturday lunch with my wife and stumbled on Houndstooth Kitchen. What a great find. We both had the chicken avocado sandwich on Cuban bread and pressed. Absolutely delicious!! Freshly made and so good. A side of orzo salad for a wonderful lunch. Lots of other pressed offerings as well as hot and cold sandwiches and other sides as well. Definitely on our radar for the future. Oh yea, tables outside for a European sidewalk cafe feel. Don't be a dummy, go to Houndstooth, you'll love it. read more

The Lemon Thyme Turkey is my typical go-to. Unique and my favorite! Apple Poppy Slaw and Macaroni Salad are fresh and delicious!

super delicious and not a bad price! I got the 1/2 chicken pesto sandwich with the tomato soup, and I'd definitely get it again. excited to try their other sandwiches! read more

I still enjoy coming here and sitting outside, especially during an event. The food is good, sometimes the service is super friendly other times it is not but you can tell they take pride in their food. I won't ever get enough of the Jalapeño Pimento Cheese...that's why you don't see it in the picture :) Go check them out if you haven't already. read more

So the owner responded saying this is not chic fila,, don't get mad because you have to pay extra for extra dressing. I have never had a problem with paying extra for what I like, I want my food to taste the way I want it to No matter the cost. I'm all about customer service and the way I was treated was just horrible. Just let me pay for extra without being rude and childish. That is all. read more

This is a new discovery of mine & I am so happy about it. Being that this is right around the corner from my job, I came here for a lunch break & I couldn't be more pleased! This is a small cafe right in downtown Maitland. There's plenty of outside seating, but not much inside due to the size of the cafe itself. I personally love how small it is because it really does feel like a hidden neighborhood gem. I ordered the Chicken Avocado sandwich with no sides & it was delicious. The pairing of the ingredients were SO well crafted & yummy. I cant wait to return to try the other offerings...although this may be the kind of place that I don't want to stop getting the same thing since it was so dang good the first round! If/when I decide to branch out - it'll be for that Lemon Thyme sammy. All in all - heaven sent & I will be returning! :-) read more

I really enjoy this place. I've gone a couple of times and have not been disappointed. This last time I went I got the lemon thyme turkey pressed sandwich and I was blown away! It's nice and small inside with about three high top tables but there is plenty of seating outside. The service is friendly and attentive! read more

My husband and I stopped here midday for a bite to eat. It is a small eatery in Maitland with seating available mostly outside. Service was okay. I got the chicken avocado panini and he got the beef and cheddar panini. Both were delicious. My husband and I shared the apple slaw which was also great. read more

Gotta say as well on those "cold" days in Florida, game days, they have the best hot dog in town! After I moved from Maitland I spent a minute in New York and now Bentonville and the hotdog by Houndstooth was the best. If your thing is eating stuff that's not out of a box then that's your place. Also the owners Dave and Monica are always there so you're eating at a true mom and pop restaurant! They also have great bbq, salads, veggie burger and the famous white bbq chicken salad! read more

Stopped by for lunch while shopping in the area. Enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich which was one of the days specials. Pork was nicely smoked and sandwich had a tasty apple Cole slaw on top of the meat. Pretzel sticks came warm and had a pimento cheese for spreading on the sticks. Besides the good reviews I decided to try the place because of the owners written response to a yelpers stupid review complaining about pricing of the menu items. BTW next door is a brewery where you could buy a beer to enjoy with the food from Hound's tooth and the other restaurants on the strip. read more

All the sauces, mayos "white bbq sauce" are all made in house. The bread they buy wow! oh My stars that spelt bread is soft, grainy and so delicious. I don't care for split pea soup but I heard it was really good so I had to try it and it was the perfect amount of curry and seasonings but not over powering, creamy smooth. It was cold Outside and it hit the spot. I would order the pea soup again and again. It complimented the avocado egg salad sandwich perfectly. Loved the combinations of mashed avocado and chucks of egg mixed with a hint of seasonings and the micro greens tasted Like they just cut them and plated them so fresh and flavorful a extra bonus in my book. Combo done well. Let's talk again about the hot dogs buns. They are Cuban rolls that's right I said Cuban rolls so fresh and squeezee. they pull a little of the bread out the middle place the hot dog inside and fill and pack the rest with delicious goodness of your liking. All American had relishes, ketchup, mustard and the other hot dog had meat and bean chili with pimento cheese. They hit it out the ball park. Get there whatever way you can. Car, bike, train but just get there. You will be going back again and again. They also have for sale containers of their homemade soups, pimento cheese and other items grab and take home to enjoy. The owner was our cashier and server. Very nice, and personable and loves doggies. The place is small inside with a eclectic vibe but knows how to maximize there space with high top tables and a shelf for your purse. It has roll up doors along with a ton of outdoor sitting with large umbrella's. there is a large fountain and a green space across the street to take your food to and have a picnic. Great options. So fresh and all homemade it does not get better than that. read more

We have been coming here for a few months. The food is super delicious and made with diligence and care. My family has not had anything they didn't love. The kiddos can eat tacos, fluffnutters or hotdogs. The owner is super friendly and engages us as regulars. Often asking our orders before we can get them out. My goto are the pretzels with homemade pimento cheese and the chicken avocado! read more

Been visiting over the past few years and this place is fire every time. Their Lemon thyme turkey is by far and away the best. Dont sleep on the Cuban, roast beef and cheddar, turkey chili, pasta salad or french onion soup. Oh, everything is 5th grader approved. read more

Came here to say for lunch and was fantastic. Had the turkey chili and turkey avacado panini with the wife. We both really enjoyed it. Sat outside and listened to live music on a Sunday afternoon. We will add this place to our rotation. Excellent! read more

I love this place. The soup is incredible. I've been two times both times I had to get the turkey and thyme sandwich because it is to die for. The first time I went I also tried the Reuben and the Cuban. The Cuban was nothing to write home about but the Reuben was pretty good. I probably wouldn't order either of those sandwiches again though. This last time I tried the pulled pork sandwich, which was delicious. I would like to try some other sandwiches before I would order that one again. It was falling apart so it's a bit messy. The turkey sandwich is still on top and I definitely would recommend giving it a try. There's nice outdoor seating but beware of the bees. All the people I have come in contact with are so sweet. read more

Can someone please tell me where I can find a great BLT in Central Florida? I'm still on the lookout. I was craving a BLT and I decided to come to a small restaurant. The restaurant was small but there was a nice outdoor area where I decided to sit. There was a beautiful view of a fountain just ahead. This sandwich was pretty dry. They definitely gave me a lot of bacon which I appreciated, but the bacon was very hard to chew. I wish there was more mayo, extra tomatoes, and fresh bacon. read more

I've been to here twice, and my first visit left room for improvement. However, the ideal location and pleasant outdoor area prompted me to give it another shot.

Still in Florida in January for games, and still using Yelp to find unique places to eat! Houndstooth Kitchen was a Neat Find! Not too far from our hotel, got lucky with a parking spot just across from it, and a table in the sunshine! Next - the Sandwiches! I ordered a split panini- so l got 1/2 Chicken Pesto and 1/2 Chicken avocado sandwich. I liked the chicken avocado slightly more than the Chicken pesto, although both were very tasty. My daughter ordered a BLT - minus the T. Haha. The bacon was Thick! She completely enjoyed it! Service was prompt and with a smile! We actually sat in a section that was supposed to be for the sushi place next door, but one of the workers kindly told us and offered/moved a table for us to be in the . Thanks!! read more

We have gotten take out twice: chicken panini, hot roast beef, chicken chili tacos and the Gazpacho soup. All were delicious, the tacos and the soup are our favorites so far. These folks know how to make simple food taste really good, a lost art. The location is great (across from the park) and they have outside shaded tables. Service was quick , pleasant, and efficient. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. read more

The food here is really good, they really know how to make a tasty sandwich. My tuna melt was spectacular; washed it down with a beer from Sandford brewing next door. I do however think that some of their items are overpriced like their basket of tater tots for $7. Anywhere else it would be 4 - 5 dollars max and it was just tater tots, for that I might as well just order 2 sandwiches and it would cost almost the same. I agree with the other reviews too, the sandwiches are a bit small. However, this would not stop me from eating here again because as previously stated, the sandwich was excellent. Service was good, we had decent wait time for our sandwiches. read more

Had a nice lunch at this little locally owned business and it definitely did not disappoint! The owner was super friendly and explained all the food is made in house to order. Definitely want to try the soup next time we have lunch! The Ruben was delicious, loved the homemade pickles inside of the sandwich! So crisp and refreshing and the sandwich was not too salty. The kids really enjoyed the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. The bread they use is quality (not sure if they bake it in house) totally made for a good pressed sandwich! -4 stars because seating inside is limited, however, a good amount of tables outside that are covered from the sun read more

It was difficult finding this. But it's right across the street from the city hall park. Parking was easy in the garage. It was hard to find because construction had the road closed. The weather today is one of the few great days in Florida. The iguanas were falling out of trees yesterday. Thankfully I didn't see an iguana special here! The place had a ton of people at noon. But there was no line at the register. I was grateful for that because I intermittent fast. My order was taken by a very friendly woman. The inside is very clean. They have a few tables inside. Much more seating outside. If it's full, you can take it to go and picnic in the park. I ordered the 2 half panini. Which lets you choose any 2 half paninis for $10.65 after tax, no upcharge, I love it! I ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini and Reuben. I wanted to try a couple of things to see what I would come back for. The 2 half panini is a great idea for return business. The pesto was great. I like it with much more garlic, but people do have to do back to work. So I didn't leave at all smelly! It was a very sandwich. It was definitely on the small side. All in all I may come back with my wife. But i won't go out of my way to come back. read more

Three words: pimento cheese floater. I told my husband to order me a half BLT and a tomato bisque cup. What arrived was a full BLT sandwich and a bowl of tomato bisque with a pimento cheese floater. God bless my husband's selective hearing because I ate every last bite and who knew pimento cheese floated? Not me. But I'm thrilled about it. Run don't walk to try this place. Also conveniently located next door to a damn brewery and you can bring your drinks over and sit on the patio enjoying the breeze and watching cheese float into your mouth. read more

Would rather tip at the end of the meal. Would probably go back read more

Just absolutely love this place. The best tomato bisque maybe I've ever had. I had a filling done down the street and was done just as Houndstooth was opening, I thought no better time to stop in for some soup! Ask for the fresh homemade croutons on the side. My mom also loves their tuna salad which is made with this white BBQ but it's not a super heavy or sweet sauce so I recommend you give it a try. If you ask nice enough for a taste, they'll provide a small nibble inside at the counter. That's how I knew I definitely would try the turkey chili but I can't seem to get past the tomato bisque. It's that good! read more

First visit and it won't be the last! Fresh and delicious! I had the lettuce boat sandwiches. So fresh, great tuna salad. I wanted the trio but they were out of the chicken salad. Service was good and very nice outdoor area. I gave it 4 stars since there was the out of stock. read more

Seemingly off the beaten path of 17-92, but certainly familiar to Maitland locals, Houndstooth is a must-try deli style scratch kitchen. I had the panini pressed Houndstooth Cuban (+ tomato), and Macaroni Salad, and iced-tea. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Love the panini pressed approach to doing a Cuban. The pork had a clean marinade flavor, too. And quite possibly the best macaroni salad, this side of the Mississippi. This is one of those places that when you realize you missed out ever since they opened about 4 years ago, you want to come back and make up for lost time, especially after seeing all they offer (salads, panini sandwiches, soups and sides). The spacious outside patio overlooking the scenic park across the street was also a pleasant surprise. I'm an interior designer, who found the rustic modern decor to be a nice complement to the quaint interior. More importantly, as an Alabama Crimson Tide fan, the Bear Bryant "Houndstooth" and Crimson-stained reclaimed ship lap paneling was a subtle and tasteful touch. Even if you're a Tiger, Gator, Bulldog or Nole fan, you'll still love Houndstooth.. and its owners even more! read more

Houndstooth has been my go to lunch place for a while now but for some reason I've never written a review. A serious oversight on my part. Today's lunch was a reunion, potato salad and sangria!

Houndstooth is one such place! read more
