"If you live in Austin, you might think it’s silly to make the drive to Round Rock just to eat a sandwich. Your friends and family might even describe you as “taking things too far” or “willing to drive for a meatball sub but not willing to drive to my birthday party.” This is the best meatball sub we’ve had in the greater Austin area, and that alone makes it worth a visit, wherever you let Google Maps call “home.” The meatballs are large (but not aggressively so), the sauce is just a little bit sweet, and a slab of melted cheese on top brings it all together." - nicolai mccrary

Your friends and family might even describe you as “taking things too far” or “willing to drive for a meatball sub but not willing to drive to my birthday party.” Ignore them, and never be afraid to travel for great food. These are some of the best classic subs in the city, and we have yet to find a meatball sub in the greater Austin area that could take this one in a fight. With nearly 20 different sandwiches, you could spend a few weeks visiting without ever repeating an order. But if you’re not sure where to start, we’d suggest any of the hot subs. photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Nicolai McCrary

I HAVE NO WORDS ON HOW GOOD MY PHILLY CHEESE STEAK WAS FROM HERE! Tucked away in a small plaza. Non discreet. Only time they open on Sunday is for the SUPER BOWL! So I lucked out. The owner Hoody is from the Northeast and knows a little something about Cheese Steak 🥩. This is the best I have had in Texas! Don’t even try the franchise Sub Shops. I already did and they ain’t even close to this Iconic local owned Sub shop. COME HERE! Just Come here.

Hoody's is essentially an Austin staple at this point and it is well deserving of the reputation it has. Great service, great prices, and a simple but very high-quality menu. I've been a few times but I've been most impressed by their meatball sub. Delicious flavor in the meat and the bread has a fantastic chewy texture. Really everything on the menu is great, and portions are generous for the price. Each day they have a deal on a particular sub, and so the final price is of your whole meal is even more affordable than it already is! They also have Dirty brand potato chips, which are hard to find and I HIGHLY recommend trying them if you haven't yet. You really can't go wrong with Hoody's when you're in the mood for a sub sandwich. I really want to highlight that your money goes FAR when you come here. Stop by when you're in the neighborhood!

This place was hoppin’ today for lunch! Solid sandwiches. I ordered the large Italian because it was recommended by someone I follow on Instagram. I should’ve realized that a large order is a huge sandwich. That being said, I was hungry and could’ve eaten it all if I didn’t share some of it with my friends. My two friends shared a large Philly cheesesteak which is their most popular. Good stuff, but I need to ask if the restaurant does a Cheez Whiz version.

This sub-shop is great. You get large subs that are juicy with flavors & hot...It's quaint & fun. Its subs are like a mix of Texas & NY sandwiches. They have cold ones as well. Enjoy. Will add more pics later.

Love these lil gems. Apparently opened in 1989 and my Philly Cheese steak was delicious, coming from me who grew up in Philly. Went in around 11:30 and just beat the long line of folks coming in for their lunch break. The pricing was unbelievable for what you get in these times as well.

Old school sandwich spot with excellent service. We ordered an Italian and a Philly cheese steak, both were good. I loved how they add spicy peppers (if you want) to any sandwich. How they prep the Italian sandwich is pretty unique, where the cold cuts are almost on the outside, but that being said the meat to bread ratio isn’t spectacular, which is why I’m only giving 4 stars. The Philly was really good, but I’ve definitely had better.

Personal favorite Philly cheese steaks, love the home feel to this local gem. Been here for years and it’s a fan favorite for anyone in round rock who’s had it

AMAZING SUBS. We ordered an Italian sandwich and a meatball sub. Both were everything I ever wanted on a sub. Kinda like the once Joey from friends eat. We would have ordered the philly steak one but it was so busy it was faster to get the faster options. It is busy in a good way. I instantly knew it was going to be fire by the amount of people waiting. I'll be going back for that philly soon.

Hoody's came up on a conversation about subs and someone I knew swore by this place. Welp. All I can say is the subs here are badass! The Philly cheesesteak is legendary. It's just so packed with flavor with the peppers giving it a slight kick that makes this perfect in every way. Just absolutely delicious til the very last bite. I also got the chicken cheesesteak which I think is pretty good but it just doesn't taste as good as the Philly. The interior here seems like it's got a lot of history with all kinds of photos and memorabilia which gives it so much character. Service is fast and excellent. I'd like to come back and try their turkey and meatball subs. Will report back!

Noanya S.

Yelp

It's a sandwich shop, go in place order and either take a seat on the bench or take the food home. I opted for the latter as it was jam packed. I ordered half Philly add pickles and half meatball. At first sight the Philly was too light on the meat and seemed to be mostly bread but the taste/flavor was great. The meatball sandwich had the right amount of balls and cheese but wasn't as flavorful. I'd definitely come back but maybe ask for extra meat on the Philly.

Isac F.

Yelp

If you cant make it to Philadelphia, then go to the best thing ever left Philadelphia... Hoodys!! Absolutely the most wonder philly cheesesteak hoagie you will ever experience. The meatball is amazing, the entire menu is amazing... but the Philly is a must!! Dont go rogue and get it without the peppers...youll be missing out. The Gents in there are great... nit much for conversation but its ok cause they get the food out quick.. So yes, the service is counter service, but c'mon, youre not at Steiners. Its a definitely a sub shop not a romantic hangout, so eat your hoagie and go. :) Youll live this place

Amanda L.

Yelp

The vibes here are great; you can tell it's a well loved establishment. The people here are super nice. The guy who took our order was young and had longer hair and he was super friendly. We got the daily special of the chicken cheesesteak. Maybe not the best order for me personally because I just wasn't a fan of the way the chicken was prepared but I could tell this place has great potential. The hot peppers were actually spicy. They have a little discount for cash so bring that! They realized we were splitting a large (which is definitely wayyyy enough to split btw) and were super kind enough to split it into two baskets for us. Service is epic!

Dan E.

Hoody's is still the Cheesesteak King. It's ready when you get there and good every time. The other Sandwich shops that say they serve Cheesesteaks....don't.

Quan D.

This is my second time here and it's always been on point. Top quality meats and very fast service. Definitely a top go to place if you're in town and craving for sandos!!!

Joseph R.

Yelp

they don't know how to follow directions, especially when you no and they still put some kind of nasty tomato thing on there. The service was rushed probably one of the nastiest sub shops here in round rock Texas.

R T.

Yelp

Hoody's had the best philly. Not today. I knew immediately something was wrong. The meat was too pale, maybe not cooked long enough. Then, i realized it was mostly onions. What a disappointment. It was super busy so maybe they were in a rush. I'm not sure if I'll go back.

Sally W.

Yelp

Great service, and the price is very reasonable. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak and the chicken cheesesteak--I preferred the steak. The sub was juicy and flavorful. The chili was not too spicy and had a slight tanginess, which added a nice kick. The store has a retro vibe. The chairs aren't exactly comfortable but are fine for a quick dine-in. I'll definitely come back to try other items.

Felicia L.

Yelp

We love this place! Just a little ol' sandwich shop with great customer service and friendly staff! It's a small joint but worth the wait! Always on point with food! We always take our out of town guests here for the best sandwiches!

Nicki C.

Yelp

WOW! One of the best hot sub places I've tried in the area, and we can't wait to go back! Their subs were still hot and fresh after bringing them home (to go order). Packed with all the fixins and all the flavors, all of them really packed a punch of flavor! Customer service was friendly, professional and helpful while the atmosphere of the place was clean and simple. Plenty of parking but many of the spaces up front were VERY SLIM compact. Located in a plaza with various other food places, but has a safe and clean vibe.

Brooke D.

Yelp

Came here for the first time with some coworkers and oh my gosh our food was yummy! I got the Philly cheesesteak and the meat and peppers had such good flavor to them. The restaurant was small but so cute and had such a wholesome vibe. This place has been around for a long time so there are a ton of cute pictures on the wall that display some history of the shop. My only complaint is that I thought the prices were a little high for the portions they give you and service was a little slow but it was still very worth it. I will definitely be back!

Jade P.

Yelp

If you like subs and baseball, check this place out. You order at the counter and they call you up when your food is ready. They have a decent amount of seating and all baseball related pictures on the wall. The subs themselves are delicious. They also have daily specials on their subs for a better deal. I got the special and chicken cheesesteak and both were packed with meat and toppings. I wish the chicken was cubed vs ground but that's my preference. I also prefer their hot subs but they are all good. The large size is huge btw and can definitely be for 2 meals. They are located in a strip mall so plenty of parking!

Steven L.

Yelp

I was never a big fan of the Philly Cheesesteak, and that still hasn't changed after eating here, but it was still one of the best Philly Cheesesteaks I've had before. I'm sure purists will say that adding sweet peppers is a no-no, but for me, it's a must. A Philly just doesn't have enough variety of flavors for me to enjoy, but the sweet pepper relish gave it that extra oomph it really needed. The Italian sandwich was very good as well, but this place isn't known for this type of sandwich and I've had better in Austin.

Milannie C.

Yelp

Wowsers! Probably the best sandwiches I've had in my life. No wonder this place was packed on a weekday at 11 am. They know what they're doing and it shows. We had a small capicola sandwich and a large Philly cheesesteak. Both were delicious! Those sweet peppers might be magical. Service was fast and good. Can't wait to bring my East coast friends here for a treat.

Frank L.

Yelp

In a town with so much disappointing food this is a welcome change. It's hard to believe but the best cheesesteak in the country might just be in Round Rock. As a native NYet who has spent plenty of time in Philly it is a shock but I give credit where it is due. Ribeye (not sirloin) fresh cut onions and quality provolone on a quality roll and there you have it! No sauce or anything else necessary, it's a work of art, splendid in it's simplicity. Just one note...it might be time for a bigger grill!

David R.

Yelp

Great sandwiches, I usually get the Pastrami, it is all great ingredients, very yummy. You definately get what you pay for here. They have indoor seating or take out, and the place is usually busy.

AJ B.

Yelp

I tried the cheesesteak with everything and a side of voodoo chips! it was not bad but the meat to use more flavor or seasoning. I ordered on the phone and came for pick up. It was very crowded when I first entered. There's a great family and sports vibe to this place. My food was ready fast. It came out to about $20 ish.

Jeff U.

Yelp

Best cheese steak in town still I really enjoy this place Been eating here since high school Owner is great I still bang my knee on the tables ever visit You'd think that I would learn All the decorations and sports memorabilia is great ambiance This time the meat was a different taste Not bad Just different I recommend you come in and try Come early or call it in They get busy !!

Kara M.

A great little local sub shop in Round Rock! Super small interior, friendly and made-to-order service, and a casual dining experience. The subs are split on the menu by hot subs and cold subs (deli meats are Boar), and you can add chips and fountain or bottled drink to your order. Lunch specials throughout the week! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in a small shopping center. - To-go orders? Yes. - Lunch specials? Yes. - Indoor seating? Yes, but it's small and gets packed quickly. FOOD RATINGS: - Italian sub (3.5/5): Good but have had better. Generous portion and fresh deli meats. - Philly cheesesteak (5/5): Really great flavor! Comes with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and cheese. I ordered extra cheese and it was delicious. Made-to-order so it came out hot and juicy. The small was perfect with chips and a drink.

Berto R.

Yelp

I've only had their large Philly cheesesteak with everything. It was flavorful but a little spicy for me. The bread was also very fresh. I ordered a drink, but I forgot to take it out of the fridge on my way out. I think it's because I waited so long for my order, that I forgot all about it. They also didn't give me a receipt, and didn't say anything about it, so I feel that probably would've helped me remember as well. Staff are courteous, but straight to the point. Not necessarily friendly. They seem very busy. Lots of seating available, lots of baseball photos and memorabilia on the walls.

Fred F.

Yelp

Horrible experience $17 for a sub with hardly any meat on it Looked like a Subway special $17 cheesesteak was nothing great Had to look hard for the cheese Place is going downhill fast Enjoy my $20 bill you won't see another

This is a must try for anyone in the area! Definitely has a sandwich shop feel. Order at the counter and wait to be called. The minute you walk into this shop the delicious smell hits you and you know you are in for a real treat!! The service is friendly and food is delivered quick! The sandwiches are absolutely delicious! Good vegetarian option as well. If you are in the area it's a must try!

Matthew F.

Phenomenal meatball sub! The best I've had since I left NYC! I was skeptical at first but I was not disappointed. Great spices on the meatball and the bread is perfect. You won't be disappointed

Connie C.

Hoody's is definitely a place you don't want to miss!!! The staff is so friendly and the food is soooo delicious! We call in our order for pickup as their seating is limited and they are normally pretty busy and once you get a taste of their food you'll know why!!! The Italian hot sausage sub is the best I've ever had!! Portion size is huge!!! Have also tried their Philly Cheesesteak (best ever and I've been to Philly for cheesesteak) which puts any other sub I've had to shame!! If you are looking for exceptional customer service and the best tasting sub ever...you have to try Hoody's..they NEVER disappoint!!!!

Ed L.

Yelp

Best Philly cheesesteak in town by far. Sausage and peppers are really good too. If you are from the NE, this is as close as you get to a good hoagie place.

Sarah T.

Yelp

Philly cheesesteak was by far the winner here. Meatball sub was still good, but had a lot of sauce. The bread it was served on was perfect. Will be back for another Philly cheese steak. Service was quick, it was clean and a good hole in the wall sandwich shop.

Lisa S.

Yelp

ALWAYS good!!! The best sub shop anywhere... Try the Phli cheesesteak it is a must because their's is superior.

Alice B.

Delicious sandwich, loved the bread. It gets a bit busy during the lunch rush, but it didn't take too long to get served. Loved all the football memorabilia on the walls!

WOW best sub of my life. I had the hot veg and it was ooey gooey melty. Can't wait to come back.

Doug L.

The locals know Hoody's is the only place to get your official Philly cheesesteak. Prompt and friendly service with loyal staff and a selection that will not let you leave hungry. Hoody even brings in tasty cakes, which used to be regional only until they started adding preservatives. This is a must stop the next time you visit the rock.

Jarome W.

Yelp

Whenever I'm near Round Rock and want a sub I go to Hoody's. In my opinion they have the best tuna sub I've ever had! I add cheese, spicy n regular peppers to mine. I usually get the 12 inch and you definitely won't be able to finish. I usually 3/4 of it with a bag of chips. Still unnecessary but who doesn't like chips with their subs.

Chris H.

Yelp

You can tell someone's a local or not in Round Rock if they know Hoody's. Place is an institution. Famous for the Cheese Steak (which I advise you get with extra cheese and peppers), the meatball sub is no slouch either. Proudly serving Boar's head meat and Tastykake They have daily lunch specials, which knocks about .50 cents off the sandwiches. Thursday is the cheesesteak day, which makes it packed. They do take call ahead orders, and that's recommended if you're not showing up early, as seating is limited.

I've never had a sandwich from here I didn't like! The dining room is a little small, but well maintained. The staff is very friendly and courteous and the service is fast. I love eating here! Definitely recommend them over other sandwich chains.

Chris J.

Yelp

Let me start this review out with saying that I am originally from Philadelphia Area and Cheesesteaks are one thing that I truly enjoy as a comfort food. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak without Mushrooms. The steak was flavorful, not exactly like Philly (seasoning wise, could've been seasoned more) but it was good. The onions and peppers were good and sautéed perfectly. The hot chopped peppers added to the sandwich were good, a good touch. Honestly I would've added more of those. The bread was a tiny bit soggy and didn't have that put on the grill to toast/take in some of those flavors taste. The bread also was not similar to the bread that I'm used to from Philly. Amoroso rolls are what is used in Philly, the bread can make or break a cheesesteak and I felt as if that was one of the only things holding it back. I would overall rate the cheesesteak a 4/5. The owner was incredibly nice and I would definitely love to try the place again!

Josh H.

Great food. I'm never able to order anything but the Philly cheese steak. It's so good. A small is plenty of sandwich.

Ximena S.

Yelp

I had heard so much about this place I had to try it. I a good sandwich (subs are sandwiches, right?). The shop is very small so take out is a better choice. Meat-lovers will probably be more likely to like this place than vegetarians (my vegetarian sub was bland and very soggy). Service was ok, for such a busy place but could be improved.
