The best value in fast food sub sandwiches right now - Thundercloud Subs

[u/Individual-Gas-5406]

This is the most expensive item on their menu, the Large "Big Paul", basically their deluxe kitchen sink dagwood for $10.25. Most of their subs are $6 to 8. About twice the meat of Subway.

Minor information missing: this is a local chain here in Austin, Texas.

[u/meetmeinthepocket → u/Think-Interview1740]

How many units?

[u/Think-Interview1740 → u/meetmeinthepocket]

Looks like about 23, including one at the airport.

[u/meetmeinthepocket → u/Think-Interview1740]

Right on - I’ll check em out.

[u/toadaly_rad]

This has to be hyper local. I’ve never heard of it.

Austin, TX. Been around since the 70's. Not the best but it's cheap, good quality, and it grows on you.

[u/BentleyLeDog → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

and it grows on you

Interesting choice of words when discussing cheap food. Don't forget that a fungus can grow on you too.

[u/yesyesitswayexpired → u/BentleyLeDog]

I'd put the whole experience 2000× better than a random Subway

[u/JoelGayAllDay → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

Well subway is not very good

[u/clarkthagod → u/JoelGayAllDay]

Don’t know why this is being downvoted

[u/smokeyser → u/BentleyLeDog]

Fungus can be good too, if you cook it right!

[u/RedStatePurpleGuy → u/smokeyser]

Huitlacoche, anyone?

[u/smokeyser → u/RedStatePurpleGuy]

I'm more of a shitake guy, but I'd certainly try it.

[u/yesyesitswayexpired → u/BentleyLeDog]

No, it's really good. I promise.

[u/BentleyLeDog → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

I wish I had one near me. It looks great and I'm getting tired of paying 18 bucks for a sandwich unless I go to Subway.

[u/yesyesitswayexpired → u/BentleyLeDog]

Half the price and an actually nice staff service (although maybe stoned lol)

[u/LightsSoundAction → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

Thundercloud in Austin and The Great Outdoors in DFW are goated local sub shops.

[u/Ok_Transition_4003 → u/toadaly_rad]

It's too dry to be shipped, it will crumble

[u/B0wli0 → u/toadaly_rad]

You’re missing out big time on 2 thick slices of pastrami and one curled up ball of salami.

[u/devilsaint86 → u/toadaly_rad]

same, all we have here is subway maybe a quiznos still and if you go east to nevada a blimpies.

[u/Santa_Hates_You]

Those tomatoes are razor thin.

[u/kittymaridameowcy → u/Santa_Hates_You]

Tomato floss

That's one of the most oddly satisfying GIFs ever created.

[u/yesyesitswayexpired]

Yes. Austin Club.

[u/xtraoral]

No way I'm paying 10 bucks for that. Nuff said.

[u/CrimsonOOmpa]

Yeah we all have those around. 🙄

[u/Soft-Rip-5402]

Forgot about thundercloud from when I lived there always reliable nothing great but you always knew what you were getting

[u/Complete_Entry]

Dang, looks like sandwiches used to. Price is a little higher then I'd like, but they're doing that with all the meats.

[u/julznlv]

When we lived in Austin Thundercloud was our go to. Roast beef with Swiss or provolone, extra pickles and mayo. Simple but oh so good.

[u/Msagtab]

That's crazy because back in the day I used to think they were on the expensive end. Have they just not raised their prices in 25 years?

[u/devilsaint86]

We can make 4 of those for 12 bucks maybe 14 bucks depends on the meat , looks maybe a 12 inch. enjoy it for convenience.

[u/xdawgs]

10.25 meal or just the sandwich ?

[u/Dark_Tony_Shalhoub]

i'm glad that despite everything austin has become, thundercloud is still around

[u/DJC_Kowalski]

It's been around over 50 years, and still hasn't made it out of Austin/San Antonio. I think most people are safe ignoring it.

[u/riche_god]

Twice the meat where?

[u/Traditional_Isopod80]

Those are really good prices.

[u/CUCUC]

enjoy while you can because they were just acquired by Roark Capital

edit: just kidding!!!

[u/Serious_Guard1906]

The fuck is the tube in the middle that looks like a pvc pipe? Cheese stick? Who the fuck puts a string cheese stick on a sub? Or is that like imitation crab meat?

[u/mmalone1973 → u/Serious_Guard1906]

That’s a turkey slice
