“ The best subs!! We love the Philly Cheesesteak and the Austin Club! Always soooo solid! ”
“ Great Philly Cheese steak sandwich for lunch today! Service was spot on and ambience inside was exactly how it should be... ”
“ One solid Italian sandwich! I was searching all over Austin to find a good Italian sandwich, was between two places, and this did not disappoint. I ordered the 14 inch gourmet Italian sandwich which was heavy and big enough for two meals. Bread was fresh and flaky, cold cuts were thinly sliced and generous, peppers were on point and the garlic spread was a nice touch. Service was fast and owner was super friendly. They also gave us samples of their freshly made red bell pepper soup as we waited - also really good. Could not have been happier. Parking was easy and plenty of seating. ”
“ Great subs & great service! A very welcoming and low key stop for a yummy lunch. First time stopping in while we're in town, and would definitely visit again! ”
“ Omguhhhhh you guys, why is this place not viral on all the local influencers' pages?!?! So damn good, you get no pictures of the sammies. Fantastic service from the guys working, great guidance on their best sellers, and daaaaaaaaamn that pastrami was bangin! Quick service time, friendly workers, excellent food... will be back for sure!! Note to future self: white bread was softer than whole grain option. ”
“ If you haven't been here, you're missing out! I recently had their Philly Cheese steak sandwich and I wish I would have had one sooner. I typically go with cold subs like the Italian, but that cheesesteak is a true winner. They are truly a go to destination for sub goodness. I just wish they had a location up north where I live. Maybe someday. The staff is pleasant and the store was clean too. ”
“ The staff at Tucci's Southside subs have kickass attitude. Sez They: We make the best subs in Central Texas, and nobody else comes close. Sez They: You are about to get pure awesomeness. Your world is about to rock. * * * They definitely talk the talk. But they also walk the walk. Tucci's Subs are definitely amazing. Austin frankly is a pretty lame sub town. The best you can get is Jersey Mike's which is just okay. Tucci's totally delivers. Note that they do NOT deliver by just doing an empty imitation of Northeastern Sub Shop conventions. They know how to do an empty imitation. You want a real Northeastern Italian sub? They can give you one. But Tucci's frankly takes the Northeastern Italian sub shop formulas And goes one up. What is the secret? 1) Keep the Italian "hots" that are the essence of top of the line submarine sandwiches. 2) Add garlic mayo. No self respecting Northeasterner would ever ever put mayonnaise on a sub. Their garlic mayo rocks the world. Their garlic mayo changes everything. If you then follow the basic northeastern rules And add industrial quantities of really good meat ... And insist on really fresh really good sub rolls ... And make sure you have both Italian hots and garlic mayo You get an awesome submarine sandwich. Don't just do sit there reading this. Go there and actually order a sub. When the cook says you have entered a universe of submarine sandwich excellence, Believe him. ”
“ Cold subs are my passion, they are my weakness. I had literal mafia family who owned a butcher and "grinder" shop in Connecticut and I'd visit them as an 8 yr old to which they would stuff me full of food. This was the start of my love affair that still runs hot today. Utilizing YELP I've tried many interesting places around town to scratch my itch, but the surfer in me is continues looking for that perfect wave; in this case sub. Located in the Century South shopping center in a safe and easily accessible part of town Tucci's is a modest little shop pumping out good food. So, when my kids visited in July, it was on our hit list. Walking in the place isn't fancy at all, but it's clean. A few modest tables line the walls, nothing special but there again, less to distract the hunter from their prize. Be warned the fountain drinks are Main Root which means they're "like" coke products but not exactly and I'll admit better as they use REAL sugar. They also have a drink fridge with more traditional options as well as tea and monster drinks. Rounding out the sides there are an array of chips choices along with a few sugary treats to compliment the meal. The hallmark of any great subshop is first quality meats and secondly them slice them to order. While a lot of shops now slice their own meats and cheeses, few use Boar's Head. With this info in mind, even before I got there, I knew this would be magical! Next, they do bake their bread so another huge win in my book as most just proof up frozen bread which is devoid of the little touches. Finally, the owner was there and was an extremely friendly guy and genuinely excited to take my order while guiding me through what he thought were the best choices to try as I scanned the menu above his head. As delightful as he was, my benchmark are Italians subs so it was game time. I was debating where to get the Gourmet Italian vs the Classic Italian, the difference being prosciutto being added. I'm not a bacon fan and while prosciutto isn't bacon in that it's not smoked, it has a very intense flavor and will quickly overpower anything it's paired with. I proceeded to order my standard sub - extra mayo, oil, and lettuce with regular amounts of tomato, olives, onions (which are thinly sliced not huge chunks) and Oregano. Two things became apparent off the bat; first the prosciutto dominated the experience which robbed me of tasting the high-quality meats. I'll take the blame here but the second issue I had was the meat on top. As a side note, how ingredients hit the mouth affect flavor; which is why macaroni and spaghetti noodles are made from the same things yet taste different. The meat crushed the veggies so it through off the whole experience. That said the quality of everything on the sandwich were great, just unfamiliar, thus in my opinion, poorly executed. One of kids got the turkey and provolone along with mayo, lettuce and pickles. She loved the bread and ingredients but was like minded in that she hated the presentation. My youngest got the ham and Swiss with mayo, lettuce and tomato. However, she proceeded to crunch Doritos into the sub so I'm considering her well taught yet throwing out her review. Overall, they had the same experience as I did. Overall Tucci's is trying to set themselves apart and I can respect that, however the fact they're using Boar's Head IS the selling point. Throwing meat on top changes the expectation and throw off what we're all accustom to eating. So the way around this is if you're reading my review, you now are prepared. Besides that one issue I'd say they have top notch subs worthy of a top billing. I apologize for not trying a hot sub for a review but it's not my thing. My final thought is if you have a "grinder, torpedo, sub, hoggie, etc." craving this is your go to, just tell them to throw the meat on the bottom and you'll have the best experience in Austin. ”
“ This place was recommended by my hubby's BFF. Food was pretty good. I got the Austin club and it didn't disappoint. This late reminded me of a hoagie shop back home. ”
