I discovered this place a long time ago and hadn't been there in since before the pandemic. My mistake!
They have some of the absolute best sandwiches and prepared meals you're going to find in Austin. No joke!
It's a casual little deli with not a ton of seating. Show up at lunchtime and you'll have a long line because the regulars know this place and come back often.
The sandwich selection is nice and they'll customize any sandwich anyway you want it. I had one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I've ever eaten there today. There's a nice selection of breads and additions.
They have all sorts of great prepared meals like chicken pot pie, King Ranch casserole. They also make really excellent empanadas. I brought home a chicken pot pie empanada to have for dinner today.
Least I forget, there's incredible baking going on there. They have the best chocolate eclairs I've eaten in Austin. Many other homemade right there desserts. Unfortunately I don't eat sugar anymore, so I can just stare at them with desire.
Try this little, hidden gem, you will...
Read moreI used to love this place. But now, the service is terrible. If you order by phone you still have to wait in line in the heat. I waited 20 minutes because they only allow 5 people inside at one time. Once inside I went to the counter to get my now cold grilled sandwich. I was told i had to wait in line behind the 4 people who had not even ordered yet. Good policy Food Food. All other intelligent places allow called in orders to pay and leave. This is Insane!! Actually I had ordered the Insanewhich. Now I know where they got the name. They don’t realize allowing call in orders to come in and pick up and pay moves the line and satisfies their customers. Three people behind me in line were very vocal about their frustration and left. I left without getting my sandwich after waiting another 10 minutes and not moving up in the line. Smart move Food Food!!! Enjoy my sandwich and gazpacho. You are losing a lot of...
Read moreI recently visited here on a Friday afternoon when looking for a quick bite to eat near my apartment. This place was a quick five minutes away and I have noticed that several times when I visited the Randalls here.
I was a bit hesitant because of the poor reviews, but it was close and you seem like a pretty quick option. When we walked in it took a couple minutes for anyone to say anything at the counter, but once they did they were pretty friendly.
The place was extremely dead and the vibe in here was just really poor. The food looked all right, but they had a lot of sandwich options.
I ended up going with a tuna melt and a pecan bar and I was extremely satisfied. For my two items I paid $15 and I thought this was a fair price to pay. If I were dating just for the food I would give it a five star, however it was the other factors that dragged...
