    PB PROTEIN CRUNCH
    Eunice K.

    I ordered the PB protein crunch, and it was alright. It's pretty heavy possibly bc of the peanut butter, so I wasn't able to finish it as a meal. It tastes good, but I could only taste the peanut butter and bananas after mixing everything together. There were only 2 employees working, and there were a lot of orders bc of a T Mobile deal, so I had to wait a bit but not for long. It's a pretty spacious area with a lot of counter seatings, and it's clean too! The door was kept opened, but flies did come in and were flying around.

    We used to get their fruit smoothies often but had not been here for years since we've been on a health kick. Last Saturday, we stopped by after spending the whole day outdoors and were seriously thirsty. This location is hidden at The Triangle on 47th St. There was not a single customer when we walked in, maybe that's why they didn't turn on the lights in the back so it was a bit dark and not super inviting. Also, it seemed they might get a lot of deliveries at this location since the first question we were asked when we walked in was if we were there for delivery pick-up. There are plenty of seats inside and their gender neutral bathroom was nice and clean. We ordered their "Blimey Limey" and "Mango Magic". We used to love their Blimey Limey as it was so delicious with a bit of tang - or so we thought back then. However, this time it was good, but it was really really sweet for our liking. Their mango magic would have been better if they had used very ripe mango. The unripe mango contributed a starchy flavor to the smoothie which was not super tasty. For most people, I think they will really like this place, we have just gotten used to making our own smoothies at home (which fit our pallet to a tee); so nothing against them at all--still a solid place for some on the go refreshment.

    Chicken pesto flatbread
    Mariel T.

    This used to be a staple for me in college, but maybe that was just the proximity at the time? I got a chicken pesto flatbread today, which comes with your choice of chips/banana or you can upgrade to a healthier side. Was my mind blown? No, but the workers were so so kind and helpful - 3 stars

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!

But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off. I will probably return anyway for the delicious sandwich. But I wish it came with chips!

The space…read morehas 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).

The setup seems to be similar to other soup peddlers with seating: metallic tabletops that always seem to be clean, dedicated recycling and composting bins, a high countertop divider, with an ordering kiosk near the front, and some coolers and fridges, as well as a heating rack to keep pickup orders warm. Kitchen and smoothie room in the back. The staff running this place are quite nice. The choice of artwork adorning the walls appears to be different from other Soup Peddlers. What's good about Soup Peddler? Despite their name, I prefer their smoothies over their soups. Their soups are prepared offsite and delivered in the morning to all Soup Peddler locations. Thus, no location is aware or can predict what will be on their menu for soup specials each day through the week. However, other than their daily specials, they usually have a set soup menu. Their soups are served in a paper cup, and you can get crackers and oyster crackers with them. They also offer grilled cheese sandwiches. Those sandwiches are, well, pretty small and simple. I've had their Apple-Muenster Grilled Cheese, no complaints. Don't expect to be filled up on that though. Again, smoothies are where it's at. They offer monthly smoothie specials, discounted daily smoothie specials, and staff favorite creations. Of course, you can always create and customize your own. I tend to get their matcha, turmeric, or banana and nut based smoothies. Any sweetness is obtained from their fruits used, but sometimes date syrup is used as an ingredient. Anyways, smoothies are yum, and that's why I keep coming back.

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.

Service was slow and spotty - we never got our water refilled, she never came around to check on us or ask if we wanted another round of drinks. After bringing out our pizza we never saw her again. There is also no signal in this restaurant, so make sure you sign into their wifi upon arrival if you need access to texts/calls. A solid experience overall, but service could certainly be better.
