FoodHeads

I have given FoodHeads several tries & always end up with the same result: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I also just waited 45 minutes for a simple sandwich which they screwed up- as usual. I have called & complained in the past but now I simply refuse to go there. Although the menu sounds enticing the cons just make it a sucky place.

I ate lunch here the other day and ordered a sandwich with pickles. The cashier said we are out of the pickles how about the potato salad. I said sure but i got cole slaw instead ( which was disgusting). I went and told them i ordered potato salad and they said they ran out. Instead of telling me that they just assumed i would have cole slaw instead. I asked them if i could have a bag of chips b/c they didn't have anything else i order and the said no ( they were only .75). So instead of giving me a side i liked or chips they lost a customer and i will definetily spread the word. What a waste of $20. A $9 sandwich that wasn't even good wasn't worth it.

Pros: cute house

Cons: everything else. Food, price and service all sucked

foodheads has been pleasing me for years. hidden for a long time, they recently received much press and were having to adjust to more business. it's silly to think that places don't have off days. but overall, i feel the same great vibe, same huge portions, and constantly innovative tastes. also, the catering is competitively priced and delicious. love it and recommend it all the time.

Pros: huge portions, friendly people, casual environment

Cons: inside seating limited

Foodheads used to be a great sandwich shop. My husband and I would go once a week at least. On our last two visits the food has been noticeably bad and the service not nearly as friendly. The Chicken Special sandwich was my favorite, with the Lami a close second. Today, both of these sandwiches came out of the kitchen cold (they used to be warm and fresh), the bread tasted stale, and the sandwich seemed like it had been thrown together with no care or skill. I am really disappointed as this used to be a great shop. I think Foodheads has gotten popular and in trying to produce more quantity the quality has drastically declined. I wont be going back to Foodheads anymore - I am sad to lose a good sandwich shop, but for $7 for a sandwich I rather go elsewhere.

Very unique, great atmosphere, and terrific food. Wish it was open later and more often but well worth it.

Pros: Great Sandwhiches, cool atmosphere

Cons: Not open long enough and only for lunch.

Foodheads catered my wedding reception and the food and service were fabulous. Guests raved about the food and everyone--including vegetarians, and even two vegans--had plenty to eat. They went above and beyond. Great experience. would happily hire them again.

Pros: Great Value, Awesome Food, Superb Service

Cons: None

The decor is funky, laidback and fun, but without a complete lack of sophistication. The food is scrumptious... They do things seasonally and change there menu accordingly. The chicken tortilla soup is spectacular, as is just about everything else there. The Pork loin sandwich with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, and their own chipotle mayo is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time (although the meat can be a bit over cooked at times). The staff is friendly and the food is great... what's not to love?

Pros: Low prices, Comfortable setting, friendly staff

This amazing little restaurant packs a powerful punch the first time you bite into one of their succulent sandwiches or sip one of their amazing soups!! Nothing else like it in Austin. You can pick up a sample of what they offer in the sandwiches section of Whole Foods, but only let that tide you over until you experience the real thing - hot, fresh, awesome combinations you'd never think of that literally melt in your mouth. Try every sandwich on the board and especially don't miss the daily specials - this place is the BEST!!

Pros: Best Sandwiches, Gourmet Soups, Comfortable&Friendly

I'd driven by this place for a year but when I read that it got the Austin Chronicle's Critics Choice for sandwiches, I gave it a try and understood their praise. Food Heads does have the best sandwiches I've in Austin. The funky, casual house is the perfect atmosphere for the food. I got one of their specials: grilled pork tenderloin with avocado, chiptole "slaw," and a fried egg. Weird and declious (they also have more standard sandwiches, too).

Pros: interesting sandwiche, tasty

Cons: odd hours
