Description

ThunderCloud Subs on Nueces is a downtown Austin staple offering fresh, flavorful sandwiches that often outshine chain rivals. Generous ingredients—frequently with avocado at no extra charge—affordable prices and solid vegetarian options make it a go-to for quick lunches, dine-in or takeout. Staff are generally friendly and attentive, and the location beside Royal Blue suits casual outdoor meals. Expect limited seating when busy; occasional lapses in staff professionalism and attire have raised minor cleanliness concerns.

This is a fantastic little spot in downtown for a delicious and affordable lunch! It's a great place to eat in (as long as they're not too busy) or to grab something to go. The staff is friendly and helpful, making you feel truly valued as a customer.

I really appreciate when avocado comes standard on a sub without any extra charge! ThunderCloud is far superior to Subway and even better than Which Wich! The food is fresh and delicious, with great meat, veggies, and bread. Overall, it's an excellent experience!

I grew up in Austin. I've been eating Thundercloud Subs since I was a kid in the seventies. This places in Austin staple I have always loved this place great food great people always a great atmosphere. Am I biased? Yes I am so what.

This is a great hiding-a-way place in downtown to get a cheap lunch that is healthy and tastes great! Convenient to dinate inside (if they are not too busy) or get rid of one. Staff are friendly, helpful and give the feeling that they appreciate your business.
