Austin ChronicleFebruary 10, 2014Everything’s homemade and very tasty at this quirky sandwich shop nestled in an historic house. We especially like the apple pork on ciabatta and the addictive blackberry balsamic vinaigrette.
Serious EatsMarch 3, 2013The chicken tortilla soup is one of the best in town and we love their stellar cold concoctions like watermelon gazpacho and chilled cucumber mango.
Social News NetworkDecember 3, 2013Unbeatable sandwiches in an Austin home! Try the spicy apple pork tenderloin or anything with their homemade mozzarella. They even have great vegetarian options.
Gina R.June 11, 2013I'm not a big sandwich eater so I tried their Cobb salad. One of the best ones I've had. The portion was just the right size. It was even excellent without dressing.
If you're thinking veggie sandwich, go crazy and just ask for all the toppings. They get the ratios just right. Be bold. It's worth it.
Dorothy PattersonJuly 18, 2015Really like their salmon salad! With candied walnuts, not shitty greens, avocado, and a light gluten free dressing. All their dressings are gluten free.
Larry BietzNovember 4, 2018The sandwiches are just wonderful. The coconut cupcakes are great as well. We will be back again.
Leah LMay 1, 2014Try the pulled pork, extra lettuce, no onion and if you likely spicy add extra Frank's Red Hot! Also Zapp's Voodoo chips are a great addition.
Underrated gem near campus. Probably the best sandwiches in town...but that's no knock against anything else on the menu, I've never had a bad meal here.
Austin TalbertJune 13, 2015Chicken and eggplant sammich. All day. Everyday. Love the setting too, great porch and patio. Nice people as well.
Jessica BrockDecember 2, 2012Awesome pork chops and grits. Plus, the people are so sweet and care about their customers. They gave me a complimentary cup of soup when my meal was taking longer than expected.- Alyssa GuilianiNovember 15, 2012Our first time here:) We had the pork special and gypsy grove, both delicious and unique!
Avery EpsteinFebruary 19, 2015incredibly fresh sandwiches in the most incredibly decorated little house. Adorable, quaint, and so Austin
Best Sandwich place in Austin. Healthy and diverse sandwiches, awesome terrace and cute waitresses
Pay by cash and get a cash punch card. After 12 punches you get 1 free sandwich or 3 free tacos!- Dianne HillhouseApril 7, 2016Spicy Apple pork tenderloin sandwich, chicken and eggplant sandwich, soup of the day
If wild Ahi tuna sandwich is on special, don't hesitate. Also their "Zippy Mustard" is spicy and tangy, love it so much I once ordered a pint to keep at home. Chewy homemade cookies. Delish soups.
Try the spicy apple pork tenderloin. It's really not that spicy, and it's super tasty!
Dee PatienceAugust 26, 2017Dessert is awesome if they aren't out of it. Several weekends in a row they were out of the bourbon for the cake.
Jessica HuffMarch 23, 2013Absolutely love their salami sandwich. Come right after the noon rush for a relaxing lunch!
Hans PaapAugust 9, 2015Consistent sandwich shop. All items seem to be made from scratch and to order.
MazdaNovember 1, 2010Our soups, salads, and sides are all hand made from scratch. We pack our own pickles, bake our own beans, and make our own mustard.
Rachelle KingJune 8, 2010Ate the Lamb Sandwich (has eggplant, feta & arugula) & can I just say frickin amazing! Wish they were one of our restaurants @TheLunchDeal! Read more
Emmy AndersonMarch 10, 2010The lamb sandwich is TDF. As in to-die-for. Spicy apple pork tenderloin is a close second.
Chandler LewisApril 16, 2010Get the grilled salami and fresh mozzarella sandwich and you will absolutely not regret it. Delicious, filling, and affordable.
Make your own sandwich, definitely get the roasted red pepper mayo.
come for breakfast and get the pulled pork taco. holy.
Chicken special sandwich and salami with fresh mozzarella are my favorites.
