Okay, the shop is a little old and dirty, they don't wear gloves while preparing your food, and the seating is fairly uncomfortable. But hey, it's a sandwich shop and, after all, you are in hippie land. I was actually quite surprised at the quality. The staff was friendly, the food was good. If you're a germaphobe, this probably isn't your place. But if you drank out of a hose as a kid, played with toys that had sharp edges and when you scuffed your knee you rubbed dirt in it to make it better, then you won't feel out of place here. read more

Pretty alright subs, I think firehouse has better deli meat, while the hot meatball sub was better at thundercloud

We never ate at thunder cloud, but then they had their $1 anniversary special. Been going back ever since. Smart marketing on their part. Love supporting a local business with nice, fun staff. And Bc I have young kids, it's also SO nice that this location has a drive thru. One of our favorite summer activities is to grab some sandwiches on the way to Ramsey park where we picnic, play and sometimes swim. Great, cheap fun. read more

This is one of the older Thundercloud locations, so the interior is a bit dated. The workers are consistently friendly, but service can be a little slow. I like walking over here from my house, so I don't mind things being laid back. For vegetarian sandwiches, they're in my top tier. The Veggie Delight sandwich is usually great, either with hummus or cream cheese, and their Nada Chicken is an occasional treat. Unfortunately, their only vegetarian soup is the tasty green chili corn chowder which they don't always have. Ask for a chopped up jalapeno to spice things up a bit, it's only fifteen cents extra, I think. read more

Imma let y'all finish, but Thundercloud Subs is my FAVORITE sandwich place of all time. After eating Thundercloud, you will never step foot in a subway ever again. I'm not even a vegetarian (anymore) and I still stop by on the reg to pick up a Veggie Delite. Literally everything in the menu is a winner. They even have a super cheap Sub Of The Month if you're on a budget (and everything is reasonably priced for the amount of sandwich you get...so much sandwich.) read more

This is by far the worst effort on any Thundercloud I've seen. The inside (behind the counter) is aged and filthy looking. The drive through is continually closed because people don't show up for work. Today, the location itself was actually closed because they didn't have staff to work it! All this is evidence that there is something seriously wrong with the managment at this location. I love other Thunderclouds, but I am disappointed that they allow the one by my house to run so poorly. read more

Man I have been eating Thundercloud for almost 40 years! I have always been satisfied. Today I got Managers Favorite the egg salad with bacon and not even an hour afterwards I was struck with massive diarrhea and vomiting. It tasted fine but something obviously was off. I will not be eating at this location again and I'm never having egg salad again read more

I get sandwiches from a lot of places. And of course Thundercloud is one of the places. This Thundercloud has the best frackin' sandwich and salad team of all! It's fast and people even remember your name and what you've oreded before if you show up a few times. Very impressive Skywalker. I get the Nada Chicken a lot, but the carrot cake is fingerlickin' good too. ;) My ONLY complaint is they do not YET have Nada Chicken Chili...yet.... :) read more

This is my go to Thundercloud, best service in town! I will go out of my way to visit this location. I love the convince of the drive through and even with my picky order they ALWAYS get it right, which I truly appreciate seeing as great service isn't always easy to come by. I don't have words kind enough for this staff, every time I visit they go above and beyond and I'm only sorry that I don't know names for shout outs! 10/10 would dine again. read more

Saw this today they Support Solar I've been eating at Thundercloud Subs like forever I think it's great I love their California sandwich with the avocado and turkey read more

Thundercloud Subs - Always great when a local business support solar to power their business - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Thundercloud Subs is awesome! The staff is always so friendly and the subs are always fresh!

I wanted to take a picture of my California Sub, but it's so good I accidentally ate the entire thing before I was able to get my phone out for the review. I LOVE Thundercloud Subs. Highly recommend it. The sweet tea is perfect. Not too sweet, just right. read more

These folks are the best! Always friendly and their sandwiches are REALLY delicious. It's my regular lunch spot.

I can hardly believe I'm giving my once beloved thundercloud two measly stars. You used to be so tasty I ate you at the least once a week. Was that not enough, tcloud?? Le sigh. I get attitude from almost every person that works there. The egg salad tastes like 95% of it is mayonnaise, and to add insult to injury, there was hardly any of the stuff on the sandwich. You changed the large size to 9 inches from 12 but kept the prices the same?? Wtf, thundercloud. I used to want to write songs about the veggie delight...now your employees roll your eyes if I ask you to leave the cucumbers and sprouts off. Last time she just decided to put lettuce on instead. The last few months, the tables were all covered in crumbs. I'm sorry thundercloud. This is it. I'll dream about the thundersauce...but sauce alone does not a sandwich make. read more

In Allendale, there aren't a ton of places to get a sandwich. There's some Sandwich "Joint" place opening soon, but they've been saying that for months now, so it definitely has to be a front. Thundercloud Subs may not be the best sandwich place in Austin, but it's not a front for something unwholesome. The inside of this particular franchise is sky blue. Which I think is funny because the guys I always see working here don't look like sky blue is their favorite color. In fact, I bet sky blue pisses them off. But you never taste the anger. That's professionalism. I don't see any difference between this Thundercloud and any other one I've been to. The service is fine and the sandwiches taste about the same as elsewhere. The last sandwich I had was the Classic. It was really good. I was also a little stoned and had just finished walking 3 miles, lugging a pack full of books, but still. Thundercloud on North Burnet: At Least It's Not a Front. read more

I don't care how grungy this place it the food is great! I could eat a turkey club 7 days a week!!

The menu might list what should be delicious sandwiches, but the unhygienic practices of the staff made me a one-time customer. The seating area was dirty, the person who made my sandwich didn't wash his hands, didn't put on gloves, and he had a scab on one of his fingers. Gross! read more

Drive thru only so the stoner staff can run around and play grab ass huh. I ordered a nada chicken and the guy asks me all I want on it and gets ready to put the 'meat' on the sub and asks again what I ordered. Remember the nada chicken you put in the microwave 2 minutes a go stoner? Worst Thundercloud in Austin by far. read more

This is an excellent Austin original establishment. If you don't like it, don't eat there then. Also, you really have no right to judge foodservice people unless you yourself have worked in food service. Please don't hate. read more

I love Thundercloud but holy shit I will never go back to this location. The people working didn't know what went on the sandwich, they literally started wrapping it before all the ingredients were on and I had to remind them what goes on the sub (which is written on the menu mind you). And then they get irritated when they're the ones who don't know what they're supposed to do. Fire these clowns that work here. read more

I wouldn't say this Thundercloud stands above the rest for the food. It is what it is, and the food is good. I usually get the pastrami, and it is usually pretty tasty, although it has been a bit dry once or twice. I think what stands out at this Thundercloud is the staff. They seem happier than those I have seen at other locations and they don't act like they are doing you a favor by taking your order. read more

Damn you whiners! Me and the kids eat here every couple of weeks at least. We LOVE the chicken salad. Love the vibe too. Got into a conversation with the guy at the counter comparing James Joyce and De La Soul. Cannot beat that anywhere. Leopold Bloom AND Posdnous would both eat here and dig it. NEVER go to Subway. ALWAYS go to Thundercloud. Yes. read more

Normally I love thundercloud subs and always have a good experience... However this time I used the drive thru and ordered a veggie sandwich and added tuna. I do this all the time. The girl made noises and was so rude. I tried to keep things light so when I got to the window I said" I know it's different it's just really good" she rolled her eyes at me and said yeah it's just a pain bc of how me make it without cross contaminating things. This is not my problem! I even left a tip! I will not be returning! read more

They give you a good amount of ingredients, bread is so so. The carrot cake was way too sweet, and the frosting was overly sweet as well, threw the carrot cake away! Inexpensive and equal quality for the price. read more

I've gotten a meal here about once or twice a week for the last month, going the easy and cheap route. The people working are always really nice and cool, and I've never gotten a bad vibe. Seth specifically, I see there a lot, and he made a point to be super nice to my mom on her first visit there ('Yay Seth!') I almost always get the Nada 'Chicken,' and I do feel like, overall, I'm usually not asked about all the modifiers, like which kind of cheese I want (provolone, please) and sometimes it's missing tomatoes and onions, these things seem more likely to happen in the evening, when it's just the drive thru open and I'm calling in. So I do try to be specific when I order, now that I have the routine down. read more

I stopped by earlier this evening for the first time since moving into this neighborhood and had a great experience! The guys behind the counter could not have been cooler, or more patient considering my complex order. Everything was just as I ordered it (I think..) and my Austin Club was delish. I am glad to know that such an awesome Thundercloud is just down the street from me. Thanks guys! read more

This place has great tomato basil soup. The veggie sandwich is great with hummus on it. The staff at this location is probably the friendliest group of people at any restaurant in the city of Austin. read more

I love everything that is Thundercloud, from the countless, affordable sandwiches that I've eaten over the years to the endless Austin musicians/artists/bartenders to whom it provides a day job. Before today, Thundercloud would have gotten a solid three stars from me in the lifetime achievement category: its sandwiches have always been proficient (but not magnificent), and its service has always been friendly-ish. But today is the end. After consuming a Turkey sub, I've been violently ill for six hours. Today's camp out on the bathroom floor is a silver bullet. But we'll always have undergrad, Thundercloud. read more

ehhh it's thunderclouds and better than peanut butter and jelly some nights.

How? How do you get a sub order wrong? This is what you do...this is what you get paid for...this is what I paid for..... . One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone can't get a simple order correct. I ordered a gluten free veggie sub with turkey and no onions. What did I receive? Gluten free veggie sub NO turkey and WITH onions. I promise this isn't that hard. I've seen a few reviews below that said the same thing about this location getting orders wrong - too bad I didn't see them before going here. Boo on you. I won't return because I can't stand being hangry and I turn into the friggin she-hulk when this happens. I will also not disgrace my stomach by eating a sub with no gobble gobble on it. I promise, I notice and recognize places/people that make sandwiches with love...just like grandmas always make sammies with luhhh. You, however, did not do this. Ugh, the sadness and rage I feel. read more

I love thundercloud, but this location always leaves me wishing I had bought a 10 dollar sandwich somewhere else. They only put one slice of meat per sandwich before charging extra, and have messed up my order the past two times i went there. If you decide to pay extra for another slice of meat, that's all you're getting. One more slice. I don't know, I've never had any other tcloud mess up my order or charge extra for a normal amount of meat on a sandwich. I will go the extra 3 miles to the next closest location from now on. read more

I am from VA and was greatly disappointed. I love a good fresh sub, but this sub was below average. Minimal meat, pay extra for ordinary toppings such as pickles, fairly slow line. Jersey Mikes or Jimmy Johns are WAY much better. I'd rather eat Subway and that's just awful... read more

It's a small, Austin-y sandwich shop. You can't go in expecting perfection. You'll get your sandwich, get your chips and a drink, eat at one of their dirty tables, and then leave. I'm a bit turned off by the fact that employees don't seem to be all too hygienic and are dealing with my sandwich with bare hands. read more
