The mystique surrounding Schlotzsky's® began the moment we opened our first restaurant in Austin, Texas, more than 30 years ago. The menu was succinct—one delectable sandwich composed of a unique combination of premium meats, fresh cheeses, and marinated olives served on hot Schlotzsky's sourdough bread. Dubbed "The original", with origins tracing back to the Tuscan countryside, world-famous artisan breads, savory cheeses, flavorful meats, natural herbs and oils offering uniquely satisfying fare.

As our customers' tastes have evolved, so has our menu. Today, you'll discover dozens of mouth-watering sandwiches, gourmet pizzas, freshly-tossed salads, generous wraps, hearty baked potatoes and more. Made for you, just like our original sandwiches back in 1971. Guess you could say even with our new, expanded menu, we're still true to our roots.

We even pioneered free Internet access via Cool Deli® computer stations for our guests and wireless Cool Cloud™ broadband. Now that we think about it, we were fast casual dining before fast casual was even invented.
