Our GPS took us another route avoiding I-35 traffic and glad to have stumbled upon this place. This is a half liquor store and half deli, so you can shop around while your sandwich is being prepared. Upon entry, we were greeted with a warm smile and friendly service. I opted for the Angry Bird sandwich and it was tasty with the right amount of meat, cheese, and sauce! There are a few indoor and outdoor seating as well. Parking is plentiful within the center. A must return for us! Enjoy! read more

One of the best sandwiches in the whole Austin area. Food was amazing and fresh. The customer service was also outstanding. They have everything you need so it is a one stop shop. Sadly I don't have a picture of the sandwich because it disappeared so fast! I will always recommend this place to anyone who wants a good sandwich. read more

This liquor store has a deli inside and everything is absolutely delicious! You place your order at the counter and you can seat yourself. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I have ordered the Ruben Gonzales which is like a traditional Ruben. I have also had the pecan chicken salad sandwich, you always get a pickle and home style chips with your order. They also have deli snacks such as potato salad, pasta salad and hummus. The people running the store are absolute gems! They are so sweet and enthusiastic about the menu. This is a great place to have a fun relaxing lunch. read more

Sneaking back into Yelp like........can't believe I have never reviewed this place. Seriously, some good places have suffered from my Yelp retirement. I LOVE telling my co-workers "Gotta run to the liquor store for lunch, brb". I love even more the actual lunch, their sandwiches are redick good and I take all of my out of town guests here for the same experience. Let's run to the liquor store for lunch! No one expects the deliciousness they are about to receive. My go-to sammie is the Angry Bird (hold the angry--not a fan of dijon). It is chock full of turkey, melty swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms, greenery and their signature semi sweet pickles. But when feeling "healthy" I also love the Athena which has cukes and spinach and kalamatas and other tasty veggies and you can add turkey or ham if you're a carnivore. All sammies come with a little bag of plain potato chips (perfect for stacking in your sammie) and a really tasty dill pickle slice. I love that I can call and pre order and it is ready by the time I make the 12 minute drive there. I love that it is almost always the same nice lady taking my calls and checking me out. And I LOVE that yes, I do tend to buy wine "for later" during my work day...just feels a little bit naughty. read more

Drove 20 minutes to try their sandwiches after meeting the owner at a bar. Nice guy! Arrived at 8:01 and was told the deli is closed. Nowhere on the website says the deli closes before 9PM. Very disappointing, likely will not go again due to the customer service. read more

Friendliest people ever! Great sandwiches and great soups. Also, empanadas are excellent. Great selection on liquors and spirits too. I almost always go there for the food though. Love to work my way through their vegetarian options on the menu. Lots of great choices! Love this place and am so glad they're in Buda! read more

Love love love Proof! It's our favorite Saturday place for lunch! I've tasted every single sandwich and they're all killer. My favorites are the Horsey Bleu, the Hammy Sammy, and the Angry Byrd. It's fun to shop around while they make your sandwich. They have a great liquor selection and do frequent tastings. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

We love this place, Maybe if they offered to do a chicken salad sandwich without onions this would really widen their options for others too. I'm sure we are not the only ones that dislike onions it's easier to add than to try to pick them out. I'm glad we have the option of Buda Soda fountain that doesn't add onions. However it would be awesome to hear that they are listening to their customers. read more

I heard about this place from one of the locals. It's a liquor store and they have deli inside. As I was told, the sandwich is fantastic and the lady working there was very friendly and attentive. If I'm back in this area, this is a place to stop for lunch 100%!!! read more

Really great sandwiches! Quick, fresh and tasty!!! Nice selection of Bloody Mary / Michelada mixes.

Place is a hidden goldmine in Buda! Found the backside of shopping center by accident. Great selection of anything you might need food or beverage wise. Friendly staff, and prices are not overly inflated for convenience factor. . read more

Literally around the corner from my house, but an amazing spot. The prices are a bit high, but for the quality, defiantly worth it. I have yet to order a bad hot or cold sandwich and the potato salad and avocado dip (available in the case) keeps me coming back over and over. Staff is always friendly and helpful - whether you're picking out a sandwich or a bottle of champagne. And their taste is always on par with mine! read more

Excellent food and convenient. You need to try their sandwiches. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming.

Very convenient for the folks in northern Buda. It's a quick stop and deli with unique sandwiches.

This place has the best sandwiches and grab & go stuff in the area. Literally the best sandwich I ever had in my life was their July special. read more

This place, these sandwiches. I had the Reuben and was more than halfway through the sandwich before I thought about taking a picture which by then it was too late. Everything about this sandwich is just right!! read more

This place is a hidden GEM! the soup & sandwiches are amazing! To be fair, this review was accidentally stuck in my drafts for awhile, so I can't remember what I got exactly, but I remember being impressed by the quality and taste. The staff was friendly and helpful, they're active on social media with what's new and things to try. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great locally owned business. They have great selection of liquors and a cafe/deli that was really good. We had the tuna salad that had a really good blend in it and slightly sweet. Highly recommend read more

Local local local. I personally love the serpico and will always get one. Wine selection is always well curated. Everyone super nice and helpful. read more

Such a cute local liquor store but don't sleep on the deli!!! Hammy Sammy and avocado dip are

They make good sandwiches. There aren't many options for decent food around here, and this is a great alternative to Subway, Schlotzky's, or Sonic. It's a small liquor store, but they do have some local craft beer selections. read more

Not only is this a good liquor store but the deli inside is fabulous. We will definitely be going back here!

Fun restaurant/extensive liquor and wine selections We went for a casual dinner - (most every restaurant in Buda is deliciously casual and friendly)! My husband and I both chose the Reuben Gonzolez sandwich on homemade cheese bread. It was fantastic and quite filling. The Deli has many appealing 'pick up' appetizer ideas. Take the worry out of cooking as they are happy to prepare items on their extensive menu for any future dinner/event you have planned. read more

Perfect spot to grab whatever you need for a party or general stocking of the liquor cabinet. Additionally and even more surprising was the quality and affordability of the wonderful food they offer. I grabbed a couple Serpico grab n go sandwiches (which were amazing) and a side of cauliflower salad w bacon crumbles (yum!). I got the cauliflower salad for my wife but after a quick "quality taste test" on the way home it almost didn't make it to my wife ;) Debbie, one of the owners, joyfully greeted me and had a warmth about her that exuded the meaning of southern hospitality. It was my first visit (and I'm a Buda local) but I definitely will be back and will be recommending to my friends and family! read more

The Reuben Gonzales is my favorite sandwich ever. I havent tried any other sandwich here because I can't quit it. Service is excellent and alcohol selection is also on point. read more

OMG! Finally a Deli Sandwich I can be proud of IN BUDA! Just survived a trip to my primary care physician's office, on my way to Chinese food when I realized there is a deli hiding in the liquor store!!!! I don't really frequent liquor store so I can only say there have allot of choices, but their short sandwich menu packs a great punch! Turkey, roast beef or veggies/hummus sandwiches plus chips and a pickle! (I ordered a Dolly Llama-multi grain!) There's some HOT sandwiches also!!! Of course any drink you want is available- I had basic tea: and I couldn't even see the bottom of the cup the tea was good! There's a limited menu but all I want is on it. In fact I got another one (Angry Byrd-Kaiser Roll) for my hair stylist-my next stop today. But I withheld that last star because I got the crushed chips from the bottom of the bag... I am returning but first I'm referring all my Buda and Mountain City Folks to take this opportunity!!! read more

Best gourmet sandwiches I've ever had in a liquor store! We love the cheese steak and chipotle pecan chicken salad sammies! Sweet treats are good but pass on the drinks made with Buda water. Like the sugar cane fountain drinks better than the ice tea! read more

I really want to like this place. I respect what they are trying to do. I love the idea of a kitchy local deli. I just wish they could make a single decent sandwich, that's all. And they can't. read more

I stopped in at Proof on 11/21/18 for lunch. Yelp yet again has not let me down. I needed a place that wasn't fast food but was quick. I searched Yelp and Proof came up. I arrived 30 mins. before their lunch hour began (which I didn't know until I read the hours on the door) and was pleasantly surprised when the women behind the counter was willing to put together a tuna melt for me. I was on a schedule so this little jester made a big difference. I enjoyed my sandwich and it tasted super fresh. Price was more than fair for the portion. I really liked the ambiance of Proof and having an eatery inside a liquor store only added to its ambiance. In a nutshell, Proof is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat if you find yourself in the area. read more

These guys are friendly and their prices are decent and the food is good ! I love spending money here -- I feel like keeping it hyperlocal and don't mind having to eat outside because it's a cute store with a good vibe. read more

Seriously amazing sandwich. I'm halfway through eating the Hammy Sammy and had to pause to review. I just happened to notice this deli as I left an appointment next door. I love a good sandwich, and this had it all; great bread, tasty meat, and melty cheese and sauce. I'm excited to try the other sandwiches. read more

Proof Liquor & Deli - Hammy Sammy - Delis Near Me - Buda, Texas

This is one of those places that actually deserve all the high star ratings giving to them. The Deli: the sandwiches are some of the best I've had anywhere, especially the grilled hot ones. Unique and tasty! They give a $1.50 off during the work week lunch hours. The sodas are unique too, using cane sugar. They also have salads, soups, empanadas, and specialty items. My only complaint is that the consistency of how well the sandwiches are made can fluctuate. For instance, the first time I had their Reuben Gonzales, it was amazing! A couple weeks later on a different day, it was under grilled and greasy. Still that was the only mishap I've had so far and I've had more than half of their sandwiches listed, all very tasty and filling. The Spirits: They have a wide selection of beers, wines, liquor, mixers, juices, sodas, and more unique items. They also sell a lot of single selections on many beers. The prices are on par with most places. Some items are a couple bucks more than some of the cheaper competitors yet other items are less. I, for one, like supporting local businesses and helping my community. This place is no less affordable than most with a convenient location. They also host wine & liquor tastings, plus you'll see they take pride in giving great customer service - very friendly and helpful staff. Come for the spirits, stay for the food. Either way, you'll come to really enjoy this place as I have. read more

The variety of sandwiches offers a nice variety of choices. When we need a change from our own home cooking, we go to Proof for sandwiches!

Very fresh ingredients, unique sandwiches, and good fountain drinks! I was getting my car repaired and asked about local lunch options. The gentleman told me about the liquor store with a deli in it that makes sandwiches to die for, and he was not kidding! I will definitely be coming back for more of these delicious eats! They also have a great selection of wines and liquors, as well as deli food you can buy by the pound. What a great concept! read more
