    Love this place They offer gluten free bread too for a small up charge I love the farm club half sandwich and soup combo with tomato soup So freaking good and the guava lemonade is the best I've had - one of my fave drinks honestly I ordered online and they seemed a bit slammed by lunch rush around 1 pm so my order was a bit late - probably 5/10 mins or so than expected time so probably 30 minutes today for my order from ordering online But the food is fresh and delicious Plenty of seating at this location indoor and some nice patio seating too

    I've had a few meals at this location, and I'm really hoping this place sticks around. The space has been through several different restaurants over the years, including Oakmont Cafe and Doc's. I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).

    Another day, another Mendocino Farms opening in Austin, TX - first on William Cannon Drive, then just weeks later on 38th Street. Known for its fresh, healthy ingredients and innovative takes on classic dishes, Mendocino Farms continues to impress with its assorted menu of salads, sandwiches, and soups. At the William Cannon location, I was introduced to the Avocado and Quinoa salad. Calling it "excellent" is a massive understatement. To switch things up at 38th Street, I tried the Golden State Cobb - a hearty mix of applewood smoked bacon, avocado, hard-boiled egg, blue cheese, Lolli Bombs yellow tomatoes, pickled red onions, chives, balsamic glaze, romaine, kale, mixed greens, and a rustic red wine vinaigrette. I enjoyed the combination of textures and flavors. While taking in the view through the restaurant's large windows, I sampled a drink combo: half guava lemonade and half "Get Your Greens." The blend was refreshing and perfectly balanced. In addition, I grabbed another Avocado and Quinoa salad to go - still just as satisfying the second time around. The interior is bright and cheerful, with soft baby blue tones throughout. Outside, the signature blue-and-white cow greets guests alongside a playful balloon display. A standout moment was when Alex, the general manager, stopped by to introduce herself - a thoughtful gesture that reflects the brand's "Happy" principle. The staff radiated warmth and positivity, making the experience feel genuinely welcoming. Some of my favorite places are near 38th street, so I am looking forward to returning.

    I met a longtime friend for brunch here a weekend or so ago. We were headed to another place nearby that was closed and I spotted this place and it looked open! I had been to this location before when it was different restaurants over the years. The ordering and delivery process were a bit confusing since it was our first time but will be easier the next time. You have to order at the front and then put your ticket number after scanning a QR code so they know where to deliver your food. Also, the napkins were under the food so we had to ask where napkins and silverware were as it wasn't quickly apparent. The food was really good. I enjoyed my wrap so much that I ate all of it and I usually take 1/2 of what I order home! My friend liked his food but the salad had some type of nut that was too crunchy and hurt his teeth. They were nice enough to substitute it for another salad which he did like. He ordered one of their fresh juice drinks if I recall correctly. I had a Spindthrift (sp?) fruit sparkling drink. Definitely a healthy option in a central location with easy parking! I look forward to trying a few other things next time I'm there.

    Happy Hippie with pesto pasta side
    Katie C.

    This is a great new spot in Central Austin. It's casual but the menu items are relatively healthy. I ordered the "Happy Hippie" and really enjoyed it. It was a very colorful and tasty sandwich. I also ordered the pesto pasta side dish which I took home and didn't try yet. The staff was very friendly and greeted me warmly when I walked in. They were eager to make menu recommendations. Parking is relatively easy. There is a lot in the back of the building. Seating is ample both inside and outside. I'm glad this spot opened up recently. I'll definitely be ordering here again when I don't feel like making dinner!

    Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada with chicken added - so good!
    Novalina N.

    I stopped by both for their sneak peek and their grand opening. The service was top-notch, everyone was so attentive and welcoming. They made sure every guest was greeted, understood the menu, and was happy with their meal. During the sneak peek, I tried the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada with chicken. Wow, really delicious! The crispy quinoa gives the right amount of crunch. Honestly, it didn't even need dressing (though I did dip my fork in time to time). For the grand opening, I went with Chen's Crispy Rice Salad, and it was really good too and very crunchy. You might need a bit of dressing for this one, but you can still have it on the side to make it healthier. The weather was perfect, so I sat outside. It might be too hot to do that in the summer, but that's a problem for next year! I'm very impressed. I'll definitely be back!

    Chicken Pesto Caprese
    Alex V.

    This is a cute chain from California with a farmhouse aesthetic and a good selection of upscale sandwiches and salads. I really love their fresh ingredients and attention to detail that brings some options I wouldn't normally see but add a lot of flavor and interest. Everybody is friendly and eager to discuss the menu choices with you, or you can always order through their online portal. I've tried the Chicken Parm Dip which was very tasty but uses sliced chicken with crispy crumbles as a topping instead of actual chicken parmesan filet. Instead I'd recommend the Chimichuri Steak & Bacon sandwich that's spectacular. The marinated peppers and tender steak and caramelized onion jam are great, and even the toasted sesame roll stands out. Of course they have salads and soups and wraps so there are plenty of choices. And for drinks they have lemonades on tap that have ingredients like pomegranate mint or guava which are nice. There's even passion fruit black tea! It's also worth noting they have their own parking lot, so that was a relief and there was plenty of space even on opening day.

    I received a free entree coupon from the new Mendocino Farms restaurant on 38th street. It is a restaurant that specializes in creative sandwiches, salads and more with fresh ingredients and fearless flavor combinations. This location has a fun mural inside and very colorful and fun decor. I prefer the salads at this establishment so this time I ordered the Golden State Cobb with applewood smoked bacon, avocado, hard-boiled egg, blue cheese, Lolli Bombs yellow tomatoes, pickled red onions, chives, balsamic glaze, romaine, kale, mixed greens and rustic red wine vinaigrette. I decided to add chicken as a protien which was an up charge. Initially I was having difficulty using the coupon as it wasn't registering the additional chicken up charge as a purchase but management stepped in and ended up comping the entire meal. I appreciate the staff going above and beyond to honor the coupon offer. I ordered my meal to go and it was packed nicely with the dressing on the side so the salad would remain crisp. When I got home to eat it, I was impressed by another great salad with tons of fresh ingredients that made for a delicious and healthy meal. Overall great experience and will be back again.

    The Happy Hippie Sandwich
    Hannah K.

    Loving this new addition to the neighborhood! Fresh, healthy, tasty, fast food; what's not to love? Even the employees seem jazzed to be there. Everyone is incredibly attentive and helpful, looking out for your every need, even though there's no official table service. You order at the front and your food is brought out to you in no time at all. As for food, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the sandwiches. In particular, The Happy Hippie, which is easily veganized by removing the cheese and switching the bread to ciabatta. It's a marvelous mess, stained pink by beet "caviar" (basically a vinegary beet relish), loaded with hummus, avocado, sprouts, cucumbers, mushrooms, and satisfyingly crunchy carrots for contrast. The toasted bread really pulls it all together, despite the assembly wanting desperately to fall apart. You may need a fork to finish it an and a shower when you get home, but this one is worth the struggle. Bonus points that there's a free parking lot in back, though it is small and will fill up quickly at lunchtime.

    Vegan Bahn Mi
    Autumn M.

    This was my first time visiting the new location near Lamar and 38th St. I ordered two sandwiches to go. While waiting, I noticed the large indoor seating area and some outdoor tables that were getting good use on this nice Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, my first experience wasn't stellar since my order was incorrect. I had indicated that I didn't want cheese on my sandwich, but it still came with it. Removing it was a hassle since it was right next to the beet caviar (finely chopped beets) that I actually did want to eat. This was on the Happy Hippie sandwich, which was very filling and very messy in a good way. I also tried the Vegan Bahn Mi. It looked a little small at first, but at least it packed a lot of flavor. Overall, I'd probably order the Happy Hippie again--it was hearty and seemed like a fair value for the price. Hopefully next time, the order comes out right.

    I went to their soft opening and had a delicious sandwich, but it was the fresh juices they have that really blew me away and got me back several times to pick up only a juice. One of these days i'll go back for another sandwich.

    Cup of soup, ordered and paid for bowl.
    Lori H.

    While the food is delicious, the customer service here has been horrid. I've been a patient at the hospital across the street for a week and ordered from here twice. Both times the order has been incorrect. The first time I ordered the Thai Salad (best salad ever) with extra dressing and Tomato soup. When my husband made it back there was no extra dressing and no soup. He made the walk back and they gave him the soup and threw in a free cookie. Ordered again today and similar issue. Originally forgot the extra dressing again and was given a small cup of soup instead of a bowl. The food is already pricey (and it is good), but at this point Im convinced they're purposefully ripping people off because it's hard to believe their employees can be so inept that they mess orders up so regularly. Frustrating that I keep paying for things I don't get.

    One of my favorite sandwich spots in Austin, hands down. The Knuckle Sandwich is easily my favorite…read moresandwich in the city -- packed with flavor, satisfying every time, and most importantly, consistently good no matter when I go. That consistency is what really keeps me coming back. You know exactly what you're getting, and it always delivers. Austin has no shortage of food trucks, but this one definitely stands out if you're craving a solid sandwich that actually lives up to the hype.

    Seriously the most amazing sandwhiches!!! I came the first day to look and it was closed, came back…read morethe 2nd day twice and then brought it home to family. We seriously love Diana for her recommendation got the knuckle and the veggies. Knuckles was perfect lettuce and perfect meat ratio. Not too much lettuce and very generous with meat. The cheese crisps was so so so so good and just made the perfect crunch. The veggie though was so so amazing I have never had such an amazing artichoke sandwhich it was so good. If your taking it to GO and eating later let them know and they will pack the soggy stuff separately. Once again we are in love with this sandwhich and its definetly a must ever time in Austin. Thank you Diana and team for the best sandwhich ever !

    The fresh herbs were a bit excessive on the lamb sammie.  Would have liked the lamb to be the dominant flavor, not the mint.

    It's not a gimmick if they have good food…read more Handsome Dan's has been on my list to try for months, but I've been on a keto diet most of the time, so a bunch of restaurants have been put on a "someday" list. Last week I was on a break from keto, and my husband read my mind. He took me here as the first stop on a rainy Friday night date. I know they have good sandwiches, but they also have their "bait shop" schtick. They're not near any significant fishing spots, and I didn't see any evidence of bait, but whatever. Their sandwiches are good, so they can get away with it. While I ate my sandwich on the patio, we discussed the novelty nature of many Austin businesses, and which ones can hold up and which ones are pure hype. I ordered the Club sandwich. It's not a true triple-decker club, but it was the sandwich that had the best variety of fillings in my opinion. Everything you'd expect in a classic club, but easier to eat because it wasn't stacked absurdly tall like other clubs. The sourdough bread was very crispy, and the meats, cheese, and vegetables worked well inside. On the side I got potato salad which I like more than their other option, which was chips, but the potato salad wasn't anything special. Their patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a rainstorm. They have some glider chairs off to the side that are good for lounging on, but when it really started to rain we moved in to the center of the patio. I'm glad I got a chance to try Handsome Dan's. I doubt I'll be back anytime soon because huge sandwiches like this need to be an occasional treat for me, but if you're in the Springdale area looking for a satisfying meal, this is it!
