The staff was delightful and the sandwich was the best Ive ever had. Very clean and outside seating available. Delicious.

This place has the best Sandwiches in the city, hands down. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted by the awesome owner, Ernie. You will see them prepare the pancetta sandwich right in front of you, and your mouth will begin watering. As soon as you taste it, you will understand why so many people rave about this place! If your on the fence, go ahead and give it a try, you won’t regret it.

Hands down.... one of the best sandwiches and pork I've ever had!! The customer service is as good as the food! We had the Italian Panino, Meatball sub, side of tomato soup, and sides of Ponchetta. Simply Amazing!

This was my first time coming in to Meat & Bread after tons of recommendations and I can say I was not disappointed. Food was amazing and Griffen and his dad were so welcoming. 10/10 recommend!!

Delicious sandwiches. Came in from Chicago and we were craving a good sandwich. Loved the chili aioli dip. All the ingredients were high quality. Pricey place but great option

After hearing only good things about Meat and Bread, myself and some friends decided to give it a try for a week day lunch. It's a cute little spot on the 1st floor of the 360 Condos with both indoor and outdoor seating. Offering order ahead and counter service, the line moves quickly. The employees were incredibly friendly and helpful as we asked some questions about the menu. We got the Porchetta, Buffalo Chicken, and Eggplant Parm sandwiches along with a side of the Calabrian Chili Aioli. They're known for their Porchetta and we see why. That sandwich was phenomenal in both texture and flavor. The Buffalo Chicken was a good mix of spicy and tasty. The Eggplant Parm was very good as well and had a great ratio of tomato to cheese to herbs. I look forward to coming back and trying the Meatball sandwich and more.

I had to check this place out myself based on the rave reviews. They are not wrong. The sandwich was delicious and the food fresh, moist, and different than other sandwich shops. Parking was challenging, but there is a near by parking garage you can pay to park. The staff were friendly and caring. I had the Porchetta and it did not disappoint my wife had a grilled cheese with buffalo chicken which was also good. I was going to take photos before biting in but I couldn’t resist once it was served.

​I first came across this place last year while visiting from Phoenix. The person in front of me in line bought the very last porchetta sandwich. While the sandwich I got instead was good, the sight of that porchetta stuck with me. ​On a recent return trip to Austin, I made it a mission to come in early and finally get my prize. I am so glad I did! ​The porchetta sandwich is, without exaggeration, one of the top three sandwiches I have ever had in my life. It was absolutely incredible. We have nothing close to this back in Phoenix, so Meat and Bread will be a definite ritual for me every single time I'm in Austin. A must-visit!

Heck yeah! I heard a lot of hype about this porchetta sandwich. So I walked over from the Austin Proper and got this sandwich. Holy cow!! Super fresh. Super juicy. Awesome flavors. Phenomenal bun. Cut right in front of you. Quick in and out. Worth every step and penny it took to get this sandwich! Get one. You won’t regret it!

A tasty sandwich shop exactly where it's needed. I had really high expectations for the porchetta and it did not disappoint. It was juicy and full of flavor with those yummy crackling bits on top. The special / feature, changes regularly, which is good if you like constantly changing it up, but bad if you rely on pictures from online reviews. I wouldn't worry about it too much, as I've had 3 different featured sandwiches and they have always been excellent.

We had the porchetta sandwich and the eggplant parmesan, both were absolutely delicious! We will comeback to try the rest if the menu soon!

The name truly says it all. There’s two things this place does a damn good job at, and you guessed it, they’re meat and bread. This quaint building offers only a small amount of seating but provides a cozy, homey feel. The menu is simple but unique and the food came out piping hot and FAST. Who I’m assuming is the owner, was super friendly and checked on us frequently throughout our meal. Both sandwiches were DELICIOUS and didn’t last long on our plates.

Met the owner on my first visit today and the hospitality was amazing! Now as good as the hospitality was the food was even better. My girlfriend and I took a meatball sub, a chicken parm, and two cups of tomato soup to go. I can guarantee I’ll be back very soon. Mouth is still watering afterwords!

I was not expecting that porchetta sandwich to be as epic as it was. For starters, kudos to Griffin, who was working today, for steering me to it, and fixing it so well: That was the moistest, meltiest, butteriest, garlickest, pesto-est, crackling-est porchetta I may have ever had. I had the large kale Caesar to quiet my conscience, and it was damn good, too -- this place is not afraid of garlic. Very impressed. Thank you, Griffin!

Stopped in just to check out the menu and ended up getting a sandwich to go. While waiting for our sandwich, we had the opportunity to visit with the owner and his son. They were very welcoming and conversational. It was as if we were all gathered in the family kitchen with friends and family. We ordered the Porchetta Sandwich and it was soooo good! It was a bit pricey, but totally worth it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first sandwich here last week! Ernie was a great host and guided us to their most delectable sandwiches - the porchetta and the steak frites. The flavor of the meat on both sandwiches was unbelievably good! If we lived in Austin, we would eat here regularly! Eat here- it will be worth your time!

Prepare to have the best sandwich of your life. We went the day after the Super Bowl and the owner was there making the food. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, cares about the community, and is proud of the food he serves. He offered to turn any of the specialty sandwiches into a grilled cheese, and had great suggestions for condiments to accompany the sandwiches. We’re just in town for a week, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we return for another lunch before we leave because the food and experience was just that good.

I mean.. I can't lie the sandwiches are on the small side. However, they're decently dense and the flavor is amazing. Have you been disappointed by most of the restaurants downtown? You might finally get a decent meal if you go here.

Stopped here for lunch while in town for a conference. FANTASTIC! I had the beef asado sandwhich special and it was so good. Little bit messy if you’re going to try and eat it on the go, but tasted unbelievable. They were also very accommodating for our child who wanted a grilled cheese. After getting it and realizing it came with onion, they quickly made him a new one without onions and he loved it (adding that to the menu might be nice, wouldn’t expect onion on a grilled cheese) Will definitely go back for more

I tried Meat & Bread today after learning that they are seed oil free and only cook with healthy natural ingredients. The porchetta sandwich was a 10/10 and reminded me of a similar sandwich that I had at a hole in the wall restaurant I stumbled upon in a small town in Portugal - it was the perfect blend of flavor, high quality fresh bread, and crunch from the crackling. My wife equally enjoyed her meatball sandwich. I'll definitely be stopping by again and want to check out their breakfast sandwich too. Highly recommended.

I stopped by Meat & Bread for lunch while visiting Austin for work. I only had a short break and loved that it was within walking distance from my office. After seeing all the positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. The place is small, clean, and has a really welcoming vibe. The staff were extremely friendly and recommended their signature Porchetta sandwich. It definitely had great flavor and texture. It was a little oily for my taste, but still very good overall. I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in Austin for lunch.
