Schlotzsky’s

This was quite possibly the worst breakfast experience I have ever had. We unfortunately found ourselves dropped off in front of Schlotzsky’s. In need of a quick breakfast before jumping on the bus to San Antonio we went for it.
I should have walked out after it took me what seemed like forever to order a bacon egg and cheese sandwich.
Do you want tomato on that?
No, just bacon egg and cheese.
Do you want tomato on that?
No, just a bacon egg and cheese. Nothing else.
Ok, so you want a bacon, ham, egg and cheese?
No. Just bacon egg and cheese.
That was exhausting.
Finally, we finished our order and I went to pour my coffee. I poured the coffee, but they were out off coffee lids. OK. I made do with a soda lid and ripped my own drinking whole in the top. Then I tried it. eww. Barely warm and not good.
I grabbed my sandwich and left. I arrived at our bus stop and opened up the sandwich to eat while I was waiting. This was quite possibly the most greasy nasty tasting bacon egg and cheese sandwich I have ever had. I was hungry and had no other alternatives, so I forced myself to eat it. Afterwards, I felt quite disgusting and regretted my decision to eat this awful sandwich.

How does this place exist? This was the closest thing to the Megabus stop for a quick breakfast. we should have looked around more since there was a McDonald’s a few blocks away. This is the only time I wish I had eaten McD’s (and I haven’t in years)
First, you say you serve breakfast but you don’t have hot tea (!!!) And then your coffee is luke warm and you don’t have hot lids so we have to use plastic soda lids.
My husband orders a bacon, egg and cheese. The cashier proceeds to say «ok, it comes with field greens, tomatoes, avocado…» No, all he wants is a bacon egg and cheese. He had to repeat the order 3x because she kept adding in different items. I’m not sure what the problem is (too early? new employee?)
And then it tastes disgusting.
Maybe this is more of a fast food lunch spot that doesn’t usually do breakfast. Then stop, you shouldn’t. Or get better training for your staff.

I was excited to find a deli nearby. However, knowing that it is a chain, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, I wasn’t expecting a great New York Deli. First off, how does a deli run out of corned beef and potato salad? Especially on a weekend. I was left with pastrami, which, to my delight was lean and cut paper thin. However, compared to other sandwiches I’ve had, the meat portion didn’t even amount to what I typically got on a ½ sandwich. You can’t order ½ sandwiches here — but I guess I should have taken the meat from one ½ and put it onto the other. Then it would have at least somewhat resembled a real pastrami sandwich.
I don’t know what it is about the portions in Austin — but they sure are skimpy. Being from Chicago, it has really been a train wreck when it comes to the restaurants out here. The food is typically decent — but there always seems to be something lacking for me. Since being here, I have had what I would categorize as some of the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. I guess it was Tex-​Mex — and maybe that was the problem, but ranchero beans with gristle and tasteless enchiladas are just unforgivable from any self-​respecting Mexican place — Tex-​Mex or not. I’m talkin’ to you El Mercado — on Lavaca. And Raising Cane’s chicken is a joke — and a very bad one at that. Dry, tasteless and skimpy to boot. Even the bread was not even toasted and soggy as hell! I found better fried chicken at Randall’s grocery store! And that is a shame for a restaurant that basically only serves chicken fingers.
I typically don’t finish a meal anyway, but I’m used to having much more cheese on my pizza — especially when I order ‘extra.’ The pizza I got from Papa John’s around here was so bad I just threw it out. But I did take the time to complain to management. They should really be ashamed of themselves, serving pizza like that. But I digress. I heard Austin was pizza challenged, but gee whiz. I know it’s a chain, but in L.A. and Chicago — at least they put a decent amount of cheese on the pizza. This stuff looked worse than a tacky, grocery store chain neglected focaccia bread.
And now, back to our program. You only get a crappy pickle with your sandwich at Schlotsky’s. Would it kill them to provide a small portion of coleslaw or potato salad, like a «real» deli does? Guess so. But then to not even have any available to purchase was just — almost too much.
I may get another sandwich another time if I am desperate, but I should have gone to Subway. I could have saved a couple of bucks and at least been able to fill up the sandwich with veggies… Of course, all these bad restaurant experiences motivate me to cook more — thank God I know how to make all my favorites!

Although, served hot, the sandwhiches aren’t combined with the ideal seasoning, dressing, and ingredients. All of the sandwhiches I have gotten here have tasted funky. As to the cinnamon rolls, they are made hot and tender but a little bit too much on the sweet side.

Always been a fan of Schlotzsky’s.
Glad there’s one so close to campus.
Took my friend here because I had a giftcard.
If you show your student ID, you get free chips and drink.
So your full meal that should about $ 7.99 comes out to be only like $ 4.
The two of us both got the Original Combo and ended up paying total less than $ 10.
Restaurant is clean and spacious.
Friendly service.
So many drink options.
Will be coming back often.

I have a soft spot for Schlotzsky’s for a few reasons.
1) The proximity to campus is awesome. It’s a nice place to grab a real sandwich and avoid the Wendy’s/McDonalds lunch.
2) Bring your UT Austin ID Card! You’ll thank me later! You get chips and a drink for free. A medium original combo comes out to 5.40 $. Think about how cheap that is!
3) It’s fast. You’re getting a sandwich with toasted fresh bread, deli meats, lettuce and olives if that’s your thing. It isn’t mine, I hate olives. They’ll let you leave them off though.
4) Lastly, they have one of those soda machines that has a touchscreen and let’s you choose from 30+ flavors.
It’s a cheap lunch for those of you who are students, faculty or staff for the University of Texas.

This is my «work» Schlotzsky’s, and I wish it were as good as my «home» Schlotzky’s. I love the broccoli cheese soup — but this unit really waters theirs down. You end up getting a hot yellow water with tiny flecks of broccoli in it, rather than the thick creamy soup from the unit at Tech Ridge. Also, service is very hit or miss. Complaints made to corporate on their website are unanswered. Sandwiches are decent enough, and they might throw in a pickle if you ask enough times.

This Schlotzsky’s is the one where we stop and get lunch if we decide to visit my daughter at University of Texas in Austin. Monday was one such visit. Not exactly a pleasant visit to Austin but lunch was just as good as we have had. My daughter had caught some bug and we had driven out to bring her to Sugar Land.
Being meatless Monday and the only sandwich we order at Schlotzsky’s anyway, my wife and I ordered a medium vegetarian sandwich on jalapeño cheddar bun. We like our sandwiches loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and black olives stacked on a cheesy toasted bun. Cut in half and made a little tasty by adding Schlotzsky’s hot sauce.
We each had a bag of cracked pepper potato chips and a drink. My wife indulged in a Cinnabon which these days has become a strategically placed counter at Schlotzsky franchises. I do not think Weight Watcher’s appreciates this. But on weekends we leave our points at home.
All in all, a good meal and as we say, «if it ain’t broke, why fix it?» Now that you have read my review, do you want to try and spell Schlotzsky’s :-)

It’s a chain, so you get what you expect… except if you show your student ID you get free chips and a drink. Can’t say no to that and shaves a couple bucks off your meal.
I always get the original. Just the right amount of ratio of meat to bread to veggie. Other good options are the chicken pesto pizza or the turkey avocado.

Like all Schlotzsky’s, the sandwiches are tasty. The pizzas are unique because they are made on sourdough bread, but can be a little greasy. The Cinnabon rolls smell great even if you don’t fall to their temptation.
This restaurant is extremely clean and the staff is always pleasant and efficient. There is some outdoor patio seating. There is limited parking. It’s proximity to the University of Texas campus and the State of Texas office buildings make it an easy walking destination.

A phenomenal sandwich and a great variety of drinks would normally get a five star review. I’m not a huge sandwich person, but the quality ingredients and the great bread are quite tempting.
However, here’s where Schlotzky’s lost two stars.
–1 for almost $ 11 for a roast beef sandwich, chips, and a drink. I know quality costs a bit, but almost $ 11 for a sandwich is a bit steep.
–1 for service. I asked the order taker what came on the sandwich and she neglected to mention chipotle mayo. For the record, I loathe mayo. When the manager brought out my sandwich, I told him that I was not informed of the mayo. He suggested that I try it because «it’s pretty good.» I had to refuse and he grudgingly offered to fix a fresh sandwich, which, in all fairness was great, especially with a bit of Louisiana hot sauce.
So, in short, for over an $ 10 fast food, I expect the employees to know what comes on a sandwich and for the management to be gracious when a flub occurs. Apparently, I need to lower my expectations.

Nice Schlotzsky’s with your usual schlotsky’s food. There isn’t much to say about schlotzsky’s other than it’s kind of pricey but worth it every once in a while.
BUT…
They are one of two places (the other being the jack in the box /​hurl) that has a full coca cola free style! If you’re craving a free style drink and possibly a sandwich that won’t kill you (I’m looking at you jack in the box), go here.

I haven’t been to Schlotzsky’s since the one closed on 6^th and Congress, long time I know, but my daughter and I were in the area and looking for something to eat. It was a Monday evening and the sign outside said small sandwich $ 3.99 on Mondays so that is what we purchased along with a drink and bag of chips. I should have known our total would be $ 8+ because that’s what I remember most about this place is their not so kind prices. It would have helped if the cashier would have told me to get the sandwich, chips and drink combo and save a few cents but sadly she did not. This particular location is very clean and I’m sure reaps a lot of business from college students.

I got to this location frequently because of it’s proximity to my place of employment and have always had a great experience with the staff and the food is great. I almost always pick the #1 combo which is the original Schlotzsky’s sandwich, chips, and drink. You can’t go wrong with that. I also recently tried their pizza and it was not bad at all. Overall it’s a great place to have lunch.

AWESOME. DRINK. DISPENSER. Additionally, the Raspberry Diet Coke is disgusting.

My boyfriend introduced me to the wonder that is Schlotzsky’s, and I have to say that I’ve been spoiled rotten.
I love their original sandwich, and I’ll always pick the jalapeño potato chips to go with it. Nummers. Sadly, I don’t like branching out of my comfort zone, so I haven’t tried any of their other sandwiches.
But the best part is their drink dispenser! It’s got a touch screen that will let you choose different kinds of sodas… Want Coca-​cola? Well, would you like that with vanilla, lime, orange, raspberry, or what? The same goes for Sprite and any other Coca-​cola brand drink. (I pouted when they didn’t have any variations for root beer, but then again I probably wouldn’t have liked them.) My boyfriend and I abuse that screen a little too much.
The service here is top-​notch, in my opinion. I was overcharged once for chips, and they promptly paid me back in cash rather than going through the trouble of fiddling around with the credit card transaction. Simple, and no hassle at all!

The Original. For the longest time, this was the only sandwich I thought worth spending money on. This particular Schlotzsky’s is a bit difficult to maneuver into, what with all the car/​bus crazies on Guadalupe + the tight spaces — good thing this is walking distance for me!

Post Scottish Rite Children’s Theater. Two big people, two small people. One kids cheese pizza, one kids ham n cheese, a turkey original, a turkey guacamole. Meh. Fountain diet coke, meh. It was good enough for a Sunday afternoon.

Try the ‘Original’.
Turkey, ham, swiss, tomatoes and lettuce, between what may be a skillet toasted sour dough. With a butter/​oil? Oily butter?
Mmmmm.
Just like momma used to make.
Well, ok. My momma never made this.
I’m Pinoy Hawai’ian. So it was mostly Baga-​ong and Poi between Hawai’ian sweet bread.
Hah! Kidding. Eww.
But if she had the chance, she would. Maybe.
Point is.
Is good.
It a deli and… it has a drive through.
Damn, only in America.
Yeehaw!
