Patty Melt Dai Due 2406 Manor Rd.
While a patty melt may elicit images of greasy diner-style patties between two pieces of white bread, Dai Due’s bougie take is sure to change your image for good. The butcher shop prides itself on an extraordinary butcher program making for the perfect sandwiches. Juicy patties are topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms, Stryk cheddar, and a special sauce on crispy pieces of rye. It is guaranteed to melt in your mouth.

The Queen B Avenue B Grocery 4403 Avenue B
This 1909 original grocery in Hyde Park has become an iconic Austin establishment, with unique atmosphere, local groceries, and a great deli of homemade sandwiches. We suggest the “Queen B” a local favorite loaded with avocado, three kinds of cheeses, mushrooms, and jalapeno. The perfect blend of cheesy, spicy, and delicious.

The Friday Sandwich Swedish Hill Bakery 1120 W. Sixth St.
A taste of Paris in the heart of Texas: this European style bakery and cafe serves up fresh-made soups, sandwiches, and pastries from classic French methods. The Friday Sandwich gives us another reason to TGIF: turkey and avocado are served on a spicy serrano cheese baguette.

The New Jersey Sloppy Joe NeWorlDeli 4101 Guadalupe St.
This family-run deli in central Austin creates some of the best sandwiches in town, alongside live music and a warm atmosphere. If you have a big appetite chomp on the New Jersey style Sloppy Joe: a mammoth double-decker served on Jewish rye with a selection of turkey, ham, roast beef or get all three. Topped with Swiss cheese, cole slaw, and Russian dressing.

The Haymaker Haymaker 2310 Manor Rd.
A little bit of Texas, a little bit of the Midwest, and a whole lot of amazing sandwiches. This neighborhood bar serves up regional comfort food a la gravy, fries, cheese, and a whole lot of poutine. Get the Haymaker: this open faced sandwich on Texas toast includes rare roast beef topped with french fries, slaw, tomatoes, and a fried egg all smothered in a savory house-made gruyère sauce.

Connecticut Style Lobster Roll Garbo's Lobster Truck 14735 Bratton Ln.
This famed food truck serves up New England cuisine with an Austin twist, and the best lobster rolls in the city. You have to get the CT-style lobster roll: fresh lobster warmed in butter tossed in house-made mayo and served in a warm roll. Too good to be true.

Corned Beef Easy Tiger 1501 E. Seventh St.
This beer garden complete with trivia nights and ping pong tables also happens to serve up the best bread, pastries, and beer in town. While all of the sandwiches are fantastic, their Corned Beef Sandwich is a whole new level of awesomeness: house-made tender corned beef topped with tangy mustard on freshly baked rye bread.

Carlos G’ s Dynamite Deli 2312 S. First St.
This south side deli serves up sandwiches, paninis, soup, and salads that are, well, dynamite. The Carlos Panini features piping hot jalapeno cheddar bread stuffed with turkey, provolone, bacon, tomato, spinach, avocado and smothered in pesto mayo with a side of jalapeno.

The Tipsy Texan Franklin BBQ 900 E. 11th St.
Franklin Barbecue is without a doubt some of the best barbecue in Texas, and perhaps the world. So it’ s safe to say they can do a BBQ sandwich the right way. If you stand in the line, make sure to get the Tipsy Texan: tender mouth watering brisket, savory sausage, pickles, and cole slaw. It's drool-worthy.

Crawfish Po’ Boy Turf’ n’ Surf Po’ Boy 407 Lavaca St.
Austin is a long drive from New Orleans, meaning it used be hard to get a good po’ boy in this town. That is until Turf’ n’ Surf popped up. Located adjacent to Lavaca Street Bar, Turf serves up delicious traditional style po' boys with high quality, wild caught ingredients. Get dirty with the Blackened Crawfish Po' Boy: crispy, crunchy blackened crawfish served on New Orleans-style French bread. 

The O.G. Burro Cheese Kitchen 1221 S. Congress Ave.
These ain't the grilled cheese sandwiches from your childhood, these bad boys are matured with artisanal cheese and innovative ingredients served out of a food truck located on South Congress. Make sure to sample The OG: ooey gooey Havarti cheese between two pieces of sweet King's Hawaiian bread. So simple, so good.
