October 2018. 3.5 out of 5. We stopped here based on Yelp recommendations. It's actually a pretty good liquor store and pretty good sandwich shop. It's really more of a classic Deli attached to a liquor store but they do have a small seating area which was more than sufficient. read more

Great and filling sandwiches! Chicken salad is our favorite. Quick and courteous service. So grateful this deli is in our neighborhood!

Proof is a seriously great addition to the Buda area! They're always willing to talk about their wine inventory and really do give great suggestions when we're looking for something new. The food is good too. Check it out! read more

Our favorite! Although only open for curbside, they make it extremely easy to order and are helpful answering any questions. And their almond dip is to die for! We tossed it on some rainbow trout. Delish! read more

We called ahead to order some sandwiches for our clients who we were meeting at their new home in BUDA. Even though they were not yet open and the chef was not in, Amy, one of he owners, took our order and told us when they would be ready. She subsequently called us 5 min before that time to say everything was ready. I added another sandwich and they swiftly added it to the order. We totally enjoyed our lunch however my wife only ordered one sandwich for us to share. SO... I stopped by on our way back to the office and ordered an "Angry Bird" for my very own. This deli sandwich is amazing! I'm only half way through enjoying every bite! I'll be back!! read more

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

small liquor store with a decently well-thought out selection. Independent stores work with a severe disadvantage due to inability to purchase many items by the case, incurring a huge "bottle charge", so with that in mind, the prices are decent enough. An unfriendly middle age lady was behind the counter, didn't bother to say hello. I walked around for a bit and didn't see anything I had to have. In addition, they are anti-gun as they have a 30:06 sign. This is perhaps, the dumbest thing a store can do. Of course I had my sidearm on my hip, because ignoring the sign is less of a violation than talking on a cell phone while driving...but it tells your customers, the ones that have had background checks, that they are not welcome. Not only that, if something were to happen there and a CHL holder would be harmed, they would have HUGE personal liability. So if you want a place with high prices, unfriendly service and who hate gun owners, by all means...shop at Proof. As to me, I will go to the places that want my money. read more

I spent over a decade living in downtown Austin and it was only until I moved to Buda last year that I found a deli that reminded me of the good old italian delis where I grew up. The ingredients are top notch, noticeably fresh as heck, and made with apparent care and concern -- no hastily made messes here. Soups are really the hidden secret here and you'd be wise to get some with your sammich. I'm real big on the 'Du Pre' right now as it's kept me warm and happy and well-fed this past winter. Oh and free chips and a very good pickle with your sandwich. Hard to beat that. Now, this isn't Jimmy John's or Subway so, orders to take some time as they use actual food and don't just slap your order together. Take the time to peruse their rather fantastic and eclectic selection of sodas, drinks -- some real interesting, offbeat choices in those cases. And often some very amusing, wry notes from the owner on them :) Staff is consistently friendly and fun to talk to. I can't say how much I'm happy this place is part of my community and that I've finally found a deli that's really great. read more

Working as an essential, eating is a big part of our day to keep us going. We were blessed to have work out in Buda & stopped by this deli shop for a sandwich. We ordered a Dolly Llama, chicken salad sandwich, & Du Pre Sandwich- their spin on a philly. The sandwiches were amazing & tickled our tastebuds with joy & yumminess. We highly recommend this place. They also sell liquor- hence the name but we opted for a very expensive ginger ale & a bottled water. We loved this place so much we had to leave a review to share with our friends. Enjoy! read more

Proof Liquor & Deli - the front of the store - Delis Near Me - Buda, Texas

My husband was doing some construction work in the area and told me about this place and their great sandwiches, so we picked up an order along with a bottle of whiskey and some soda. Oh my gosh!! I got the Tuna Meltdown and it reminded me of a tuna sandwich I used to order in Virginia that I missed so much. My husband got the Hammy Sammy which I tried and was also amazing. Seriously some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The woman I spoke to on the phone was also so nice to speak to and so polite when she brought our order out. We will be back (often) and will be recommending this place to all our friends! read more

This is a family - run place. Friendly folks, good deli choices, and a good liquor stock. Try it for lunch some time.

This is our go-to for liquor. They have tons of other non-alcoholic refreshments as well. The staff are always very welcoming and accommodating. Usually, we add sandwiches to our shopping list after getting what we need from the racks. read more

Really cool local business, which is what Buda needs. Very well thought out branding, a nice clean and interesting store, unique stuff. As far as vegan options in Buda go, there aren't many in this town dominated by chains. But, I work here so I need cool spots with vegan options, and Proof has been a great find thanks to a co-worker. I get the Dolly Llama, a nice veggie sandwich with avocado, tomato, sprouts, etc on multi grain bread, a pickle and chips for $5.50 at lunch. Sometimes I'll pick up homemade pickled Brussels sprouts which are amazing. I got a cantaloupe gazpacho once, which was great even though I don't love cantaloupe. The few times I've been the people have been laid back and friendly. It's locally owned and something unique. Can't wait to go by after work sometime and check out their beer selection! Five stars for a unique local Buda business with stuff I can eat! read more

It is so nice to have a great liquor store in Buda. Not only does Proof have a great selection of beer/wine/liquor, the food is absolutely phenomenal. I had the pastrami sandwich and it was AMAZING. This honestly may have been the best sandwich I have had in years. I believe that friendly service, especially for a local business is extremely important to keep folks coming back...Proof definitely seems to get this. Keep up the great work and I will be back for another great sandwich (and maybe some beer to :)) read more

The good: nice people The bad: way overpriced liquor The ugly: order a sandwich with a specific request. With an open kitchen I see the girl who makes it. Same girl brings me the sandwich and says, here's your sandwich with the bread you asked for. Taking it to go I find out later it didn't. A Really bad blonde moment or a prick? Either way sandwich still wasn't good read more

Super glad I found this place on Yelp. We live in way south Austin and this is about a 10 minute drive from our house. I would definitely recommend you check it out! Let me start off by saying that it's exactly what you're expecting. A little deli inside of a liquor store. It is however super clean and inviting. They have a good amount of inside seating for the size that it is but we decided to sit outside. Their sandwiches did not disappoint. I ordered the "angry byrd" (because I wanted something hot). They have them separated by hot and cold.. so don't worry. It had a good assortment of vegetables along with the turkey and Swiss. The bread was delicious and whatever seasonings that were on there complimented it super well. It was filling without leaving you stuffed. The boy had the "hammy Sammy" because he was attracted to the fried shallots in it. It was super good.. and the flavors just melded into the bread without it getting squishy. The reason why this deli is getting a four and not a five is because of the extra stuff we ordered. We got one of the "empanadas". It was warmed up in the microwave right in front of us.. and when brought out was super rubbery and the filling tasted kind of metallic. The dough was not a flaky empanada dough at all.. total bummer. I'm not sure if these are made in house or not but not a fan. The other thing was a soup. We got the broccoli and leek. I was just underwhelming and needed even salt. We will however be back because those sandwiches were delicious! read more

Stopped in tonight thanks to Yelp and was not disappointed! Staff was friendly, and the food excellent! Loved the creamy vegetable soup today. I can't wait to come back. read more

So excited that Proof has finally arrived! What a great addition to Buda. I stopped in to restock my whiskey supply and found a great bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oak. Then I was taken aback by their fabulous wine selection, with wines from many regions at lots of different price points. I ended up also picking up a great bottle of Argentinian malbec and a bottle of Japanese sparkling sake. Mmm... And since I wore myself out perusing their inventory of offbeat booze, I needed to replenish with a little lunch. I had the Athenian sandwich and a cup of the Chicken Florentine soup. Both were delicious! They make everything in house with fresh, local ingredients, and you can taste it. Mark my words, I will be back to try more of their menu and alcohol selection soon! read more

Great little liquor store, snack and meal offerings, high end selection of booze, wine, and beer, as well as fancy sodas. Tables to eat in. Refrigerated section with anything you might want cold from wine/champagne to vodkas to Fireball and Jaeger. Fancy candies. Yum. read more

Proof is a great spot to drop in for a meal or to pick up your favorite liquor, beer or wine. The folks at Proof are always available to help you find whatever suits your need. It's a great spot to grab an awesome gift, too. For lunch, try their Athena or Angry Byrd sandwiches. The sides are fantastic, as well. You won't leave hungry or empty-handed! read more

Great friendly service and awesome sandwiches! I highly suggest the Reuben Gonzales and Angry Bird!

We are staying in Buda while on a road trip, we decided to venture out and get some sandwiches to go. This place is delicious, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere is a cute quaint store. The chicken salad is up there with the best I've had, my mom had the du pre and it was tasty. I'd come here again if I'm in the area. read more

Love Proof! Highly recommend the Ruben and or Angry Bird for lunch. Both will not disappoint, staff is great, fast and friendly. Love to go local! read more

Omg! This place is amazing!! The angry bird sandwich is the best with the mad pickles. Love this place and the food!!!!

Love this place so much. Thanks for opening on the worst weather day in our area in a long time! What a great feeling to greet your smiling faces and hot sandwiches. Also helps that you have pre-selected good wines waiting for grab and go on the way to the cashier. Hooray for Proof! read more

Proof Liquor & Deli - Family fun at Proof Liquor and Deli. - Delis Near Me - Buda, Texas

It is so nice to have a liquor store that also sells great food in it in Buda! I really enjoy the Dalai Lama sandwich and their various soups throughout the year and their empanadas are absolutely awesome. Never have I gone into the store and there isn't someone incredibly friendly and helpful behind the counter. There can be a bit of a wait for food at times because the staff is small and so is the kitchen, but it's worth the wait. The alcohol selection is also impressive and prices are pretty moderate to slightly expensive, but it is nice to grab things and browse while you're waiting for your food. I especially love that they have a lunch special on their sandwiches on a daily basis. The restaurant and retail space is always clean and well kept. They also play really fun music in this place! We will continue to give them our business as often as we can. Happy to support this local business in Buda. read more

I really like that there is a place where I can get liquor AND a good sandwich! The staff is friendly and helpful. I had an amazing sandwich from the deli - the Athena.That being said, I must be honest about the pricing of the sandwiches. I get the sandwiches are fancy/gourmet and the quality of ingredients and presentation is quite good. It's the price that gets me,though....eeks, 7, 8,9 dollars for such a small sandwich. BUT I won't let that stop me from being a repeat customer. Maybe give a sandwich discount for every bottle of wine or liquor :) read more

Such friendly people, delicious sandwiches, and a great selection of wines, beer, etc. An awesome local place -- highly recommend!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! Such a great selection of wine and beer. I can always count on finding something I want! The food is delicious and the people are super nice and helpful! So happy this place exists! read more

I only ever go to Proof's for the food because it's amazing!! I was skeptical at first because it's a liquor store as well, and I expected the food to be mediocre, but I was totally wrong! Their soups are made fresh everyday with different options daily. Their sandwiches are also made with high quality ingredients, and they even have vegan and gluten free options which is perfect for me because I'm very conscious of what I put in my body and opt for the healthier choices more often than not. The owners are so nice and inviting, and are very knowledgeable about everything! I love this place and will continue to come here! read more
