We tried the turkey and Italian sandwich and both were great! Love that they offer half sizes so you can try more of the menu. The best part of the experience by far was the staff! Everyone was extremely kind and helpful - even gave us a sample of their special peppers. We will definitely be back

Knuckle Sandwich was so incredibly tasty — loved this so much. The flavors are bursting and you can’t really find this anywhere else in town. I will say, this sandwich is expensive. I am okay paying for quality, but for the price point they set — I don’t think you get what you pay for. $22 for a full sandwich and $12 for a half, you’re paying a lot. I don’t think anything needs to change with the product, just the price.

Alright let’s talk about Knuckle Sandwich at St. Elmo. I went. I ordered the namesake, The Knuckle Sandwich and very fortunately the guy didn’t punch me. Turns out it’s a punch for your tastebuds not the kind that leaves you needing an ice pack. This thing comes out stacked like it’s been hitting the gym. The way a dang good sandwich should be. Bread that actually holds together, meat piled up and needs a high pile permit, and all the fixings tucked in like they knew their role. Juicy, salty, tangy, crunchy, and a little bit of zing from the peppers. Dope. Would love to have just posted a review with an empty plate (That’ll happen here.) because it was that good! Have no fear of an Austin Knuckle Sandwich!

I stopped at Knuckle Sandwich to pick up a couple of sammies for my friend and I. We decided to go with the OG Knuckle Sandwich and the Mushroom Reuben. I also got a side of the pickled beets. The beets had a great pickled flavor, but they were much more crunchy than I expected. I think my only recommendation for that would be to cook them a tad longer so they're a hair softer. But otherwise, I would order them again. The Mushroom Reuben was good. I think I prefer classic Reubens haha, but this is a great option for all you vegetarians out there. The Knuckle Sandwich is absolutely where it's at though. Think an Italian sandwich with a Middle Eastern spin. The za'atar vinaigrette added such an amazing flavor to a sandwich with fantastic bread, tasty meat, and a healthy amount of veggies. I look forward to trying their other sandwiches as well as eating another Knuckle Sandwich.

Ordered the Knuckle Sandwich, but would have liked for a smaller size to be offered because it was too large for me. The flavors were decent, but I didn't care too much for the sauce that came on the sandwich. For the price and size, I probably wouldn't go back, it's an okay sandwich place, but there are better options in Austin.
