Had a really great experience at ThunderCloud Subs. The food was very reasonably priced, especially for the quality. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was excellent overall -- no complaints at all. Everything in the picture came out to around $10, which is honestly a great deal. The guy helping me, I believe his name was Erik, was awesome and gave the whole place a really cool vibe. The atmosphere inside was nice, the service was great, and the food definitely delivered. I'll definitely be coming bac read more

Thundercloud Subs - N.y. Italian - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been a fan of Thundercloud for years. This is my favorite location. I always get the best service. Super friendly like hanging out with a friend while they make you a sandwich. I almost want to visit when I'm not hungry. Lol. My favorite sandwich is the New York Italian. The peppers they use are marinated to perfection. The French bread is always like it just came out of the oven. read more

When you're in the mood for Subway but NOT Subway, Thundercloud Subs is the obvious answer. Granted, your level of enjoyment is directly proportional to how high the sandwich artist at the helm is at any given time, and yes, they always will be in varying degrees. That's just part of the charm; learn to embrace the thrill of the unknown. When it all goes right, you'll get a small loaf of soft bread stuffed with fresh veggies and a bit of protein. The big advantage here is that they have "nada chicken," AKA a plant based breaded patty for all your vegan needs. It'll be bland as hell served as is, but add avocado and all the seasonings and tell them to go heavy to fix that up right. It's not gourmet, it's not something to go wild about, but it serves a need [quite well at that] and I'm glad it exists. read more

Thundercloud Subs - Nada chicken with avocado - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had the opportunity to try this with a free voucher j got for donating blood. Staff was super helpful as I had never been here before. Got the Big Paul sub which was loaded with different meats and the server asked me for all the topics available. Even for a small the size was good and the sub was very good with very soft bread. Inside was small and no mind when I went but they had a cool mural from the book Where the Wild Things Are which was cool! All in all very good sandwich better than other sandwich shop chains in my opinion. read more

We are visiting Austin and tried Thundercloud for the first time. Definitely glad we did! The ingredients are fresh and they give you a lot of food for the money. Excellent subs. Highly recommend! read more

Very hippy dippy austin vibes! I really like that they make the sandwich right in front of you. I got the veggie sandwich and I was not a fan. It really lacked flavor and I felt like I was pointlessly chewing. Maybe the other sandwiches are better but don't recommend the veggie one. read more

Thundercloud Subs - Veggie Delite - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love going to thundercloud in general but I frequent this location due to my job. Never had a terribly bad experience, only once had one of the employees give me a bad attitude because I wasn't speaking up loud enough (it was really busy) but I go back either way because I love their tuna sandwich. Overall ambiance for me is very laid back nothing fancy. read more

Great place to get lunch. The California club is the Californian that will always be welcome in Austin. Awesome service and great choice of chips. read more

Thundercloud Subs - California sub, large on white - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

All of the local Thundercloud Subs locations have good sandwiches with high quality ingredients.

Thundercloud as a business is great but this location consistently makes my sandwich bread drip with oil. Call-in, take out, or dine-in, this location seems to have oil all over the place. I don't mean the sandwich is wet. The bread is soaking in oil after they make it and I don't know why. read more

The vegetarian sub is one of the best if you're not a meat eater. The bread is fresh and sandwich is filling. Service is fast and friendly. Overall good experience. I usually order to go and pickup. read more

This sandwich shop is like going to the 80's and getting a sub. The staff was very friendly and worked very hard to get our orders taken and made quick and right. The Club sandwich was good and had lots of meat and toppings. Soup was also good. Fresh bread made in the shop. read more

Great sandwich and fun Austin history and vibe. Loved my California Club (large). Great and fresh avocado. Will definitely be back.

Best tasting subs in Austin! You will not be disappointed with your visit there. My personal fav is the egg salad.

Super friendly customer service !!!! The person helping me was so nice and they make the sandwich right in front of you, really good vibes. I was recommended the tuna, which I'm not a big turns person but I was adventurous that day. Turns out it was so good!!!! The bread is so yummy ! Highly rec :) and I'm not even a big sandwich person read more

I love this location, I usually order ahead but the few times I don't, they are fast and accurate. The staff is so friendly and I always feel so welcome read more

Didn't have a mask and wouldn't help me. Told me to go outside and call in. Then gave me a broken cup and were very rude, I guess for coming in without a mask. They said sorry man that's our cups for u. Here is a picture of the cup lol. I wonder if they did anything to my sandwich. read more

Thundercloud Subs - a paper cup on a table - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is one of my favorite Thundercloud locations since it's right in my neighborhood. I'm also a big fan of the South Lamar loco, but this one's partial since it's a great quickie when I'm hungry and need to feed the mule (cuz the mule is plowing all day, you gotta make the mule happy - - feed and water it, ya know I"m sayin'?). There's always a special sub for sale, and this week was the All American (salami + ham + bologna + fixins). Large = $3.49, awww yeah. Gimme two cuz the mule will save one for lunch the next day. My other favorite subs are the California Club, Nada Chicken, and the Office Favorite (Egg Salad). Next day I say? Hells yeah, the subs keep well in the fridge overnight. The sandwich makers here (or artists?) are really good, and they make it the way you want it - - in my case it's extra onions + lettuce and pepper w/ thunder sauce and hot chili peppers too. These guys rock, always fast and friendly customer service, great quality ingredients, and very reasonably priced. You can make alotta mules happy by taking them here. read more

Visited this location for lunch and was very pleased with my experience. From the time I ordered to getting my order handed to me was quick. This location is doing a great job filling call in orders and walk ups. I have gotten used to seeing all the tables and chairs cleared in similar places giving those who are waiting plenty of space. I smiled behind the mask I was wearing when I saw the wall of chips in boxes. Someone clever stacked the boxes and cut out giant letters to see what each box contains as for access. Oh and my order was fresh and fantastic. The bread almost hugged the inside keeping it all together as I enjoyed it in my vehicle while I watched the steady flow of satisfied customers come and go. Thanks for lunch. Keep up the good work. read more

There's been times in the past I had not the best experience here (first time working college students what can ya do it is what it is) but just had the absolute best experience-- didn't get his name, but he was friendly, thoughtful, and made a dynamite sando so just want to give whoever that employee was a kudos :-) read more

What can I say, my friends suggested I should hit up this Sub Shop while in Austin for the weekend. All I have to say is, damn good New York Italian, and great people. read more

I ordered $20 of food from Thundercloud for lunch/dinner and had it delivered in an effort to keep myself+others safe during the COVID-19 shelter in place/quarantine crisis. YOU GUYS, I fished TWO LONG, CURLY, BLACK HAIRS out of my Cali club. Firstly, I have blonde, short, straight hair, secondly, proof is in the attached photos I snapped right before I fished them out, and lastly, in light of the current COVID19 crisis, this is SOOOOOO very very disturbing. #Dobetter Thundercloud. read more

Food is great, but the staff is even better. They are genuinely so kind and make an effort to get to know every customer. I've been going to Thunderclouds around town since I was a kid, but after moving by campus, this location became my go-to spot. Vibes are immaculate, and despite the name, this place always brightens my day. Thanks for being so rad and keep serving the best subs in town :) read more

Small dining area with tables and chairs, same big menu, close enough to campus and associated housing and shopping to walk there. Friendly, efficient employees. They have several vegetarian options, and an array of meat options, all made to order on your choice of bun, right there in front of you by a young, hip Austinite. If you haven't found Thundercloud Subs yet, you gotta give them a try. An Austin tradition with locations all over town. Forget Subway (we have). This place is so much better. read more

There is no reason to go to Subway when Thundercloud Subs are in town. There are over 20 in town, I hear, and all of them serve fresh, delicious subs that come with spouts, guacamole, hummus, etc. I like how they have several vegetarian options, including a fake-chicken sub. The employees that work at this specific one are super, Austin-friendly. Right when I walked in the server asked if I was going to some art/party/show, casually like we were buddies, and then we started talking... and we know the same people from Denton! read more

Thundercloud Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've eaten at my share of Quizno's and Subways, and Thundercloud definitely tastes fresher than both of those places. The employees are always friendly and the store always looks clean. And I love the fact that they have avocado to put on sandwiches. Can I give this place an extra star for that? Oh, and their carrot cake is like crack. I can't get enough. SO GOOD. read more

Really friendly staff Mario and McKenzie made my day go from bad to good. Keep employees like them!!! Great sandwich picked up lunch for the whole family and everyone was satisfied. read more

Quick take out service and has always gotten my order perfect. The vegetarian sandwich is spot on-- the hummus and avocado are always super fresh and the sprouts are very worth getting! I do wish that they had longer hours... read more

I think this place is underrated. I had the Austin Club sub and it was pretty good and fresh.

Thundercloud is my favorite sub shop. I have eaten at many different locations over the past 20+ yrs and always a good experience.

Worst customer service. I went in to order and got ignored. Finally, because I was making eye contact with them, they called me over so I can order. The lady who was taking my order was speaking to her co workers(totally fine) but then decides to pull out her wallet from her BACK POCKET of her jeans. She then puts it back and continues making my sandwich. I asked her to make me a new one because she touched something that wasn't food and got the gloves dirty. Then when I go to pay, she is about to grab card with her gloves on. I ask her to take it off because I don't want my card to get greasy from her gloves. Like c'mon people, common sense. I will never order from here again. read more

This is my favorite local subshop. It's a good reliable delicious sub spot and the people that all work here really make it an exceptional place to stop in for a lunch or after noon treat. I probabaly go in two or more times a week. Frito pie with chili, the Austin club and the specials are all amazing. Awesome place all around. read more

Seems like there are Thunderclouds everywhere nowadays, which I couldn't be happier about. But this one holds a special place in my heart bein so close to campus, where I've spent more than my fair share of time over the years. So what do I like about Thundercloud? The vegetarian options. Most sub shops have a single boring sub which for all practical purposes is one of their meat subs without the meat. Lame. But Thundercloud's got a few more options, and options are good... they've got the egg salad, the veggie delite and my personal favorites, the Nada Chicken and Nada Chicken Parmesan - made with delicious mock chicken products. And all Thundercloud locations have them, unlike Subway, which serves one veggie patty sandwich but not at every store.. Fuck Subway. Long live Thundercloud!! read more

Anytime I drive past a Thundercloud Sub store...which is about everyday...my ears start bleeding and I start moaning in pain, "ahhhhh...!" How can I even think about the food at TC when their horrible, night-mare-inducing, and cheesy-in-a-bad-way radio ad song keeps playing in my head? (sung in a 1985-esque goody-goody tone) "We're a whole lotta what you love about Austin...." AHHHHH! The nightmares are coming back! Seriously that song is a horrific creation that I hope no one claims to have written. Regarding the food....too bad it's booooooring and relatively expensive. Oh wait, maybe I'm talking about Subway....no that was Thundercloud. You know, I feel kinda bad trashing a local "Austin" chain....but the day they released that radio ad was the death of my loyalty. The service was nothing great, the bread seemed like a Sysco formerly frozen creation, and the veggies didn't taste fresh...major yawn fest. Yet another highly overrated Austin eatery. read more

Went to this location of my favorite local sub shop to grab a turkey sandwich before work one day. The lettuce was wilted and brownish. The bacon was was chewy. The turkey was a rolled up in a pre-measured amount, wrapped in paper and stacked up with tens of others like it. So much for fresh - ew. My cup of soup was obviously scraped from the bottom of the pot. Not only was my "broccoli cheddar" soup looking more like brown goo, but right after I got my cup, the sign was taken down from the menu board. It was burnt and gross. I like Thundercloud, but will not be coming back to this location. read more

If you've never been to ThunderCloud Subs, chances are you've heard their TV commercials or radio jingles. This place is pretty much your local sandwich shop, and I love a good sandwich. My favorite is the Turkey with all the toppings (lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, mustard...and of course the Thunder sauce). The ordering process is similar to Subway, except the servers are faster at Thundercloud. Although the sandwiches are delicious, I do feel it is a little pricey, especially in a college area. However I understand that all their ingredients are fresh which I appreciate. read more

As far as Subs go this place is great. That being said...... they have the most obnoxious commercials on the radio, and I really wish they would stop. read more

So convenient and so many locations. I never feel guilty after I eat here. The office favorite (egg salad and bacon) and nada chicken sandwich are my faves. And the employees are also tasty. read more

Good, solid sandwiches. FAST service. A great stop if you need to grab lunch in a hurry. Neither the fanciest nor cleanest place, but you get a pretty good sub for a reasonable price, freshly made, and quick. California club: Turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce/tomatoes/onions. Love the crunch added by the bacon. No usual chewy crap that other sandwich shops give ya. Seriously. I'm eating this sandwich right now and this bacon is YUMMY. Ended up being $6.70 including tax for an 8". I wish there was an option to toast the sandwiches! My only complaint: I'm a little scared to eat my sandwich because the girl making it wasn't wearing gloves...and the person who WAS wearing gloves ended up handling my money. Hm... read more

What Thundercloud sorely lacks in ambiance is more than compensated for by their yummy sammiches. Their California Club has taught me that bacon belongs on a sandwich! I don't know what they do with their red onions, but there is something about them that totally makes the sandwich. I also tried their nada chicken sandwich recently, and I'd have to give it some props...it's not the Burger King chicken sandwich, but Thundercloud was going for meatless. :-) Unfortunately I feel like their prices are a bit steep (a small sandwich meal will cost you over $7), but whenever I'm willing to make my tummy a happy place, I shell out. They also oftentimes have promotions on some sandwiches, which is a good way to get people hooked. read more
