Amazing little gem. If you like chains and big box stores then stay away. Great sandwiches and the prices on snacks and other things are fair.

Best Home Made sandwiches and sides in Austin. The legitimate Old Neighborhood Store is legit. The store has been open for over 107 years. The owner, Russ, is a great guy.

Good price and the place were nice, the product is good at all

Very delicious sandwiches and drinks. Thanks for the opportunity. Definitely recommend. Music is very relaxing and fun. Wall outside have valuable information about music and festivals around Austin Texas. Thank you

The owner Ross greeted us out front and gave us the tour and history of the place which has been locally run and operated since 1915. The place has a magical charm. My wife had his homemade pimento cheese sandwich and I got the special. Both were so dang good. We have found such a treasure and look forward to many happy returns to this wonderful place.

The sandwiches and conversation is really great here, perfect neighborhood shop for the little grocery items you may need in a hurry.

I just ate an amazing roast beef sandwich and pizole...and like that Monday became a great day! This place, the people who work there and the food are magical. A delight to visit and the food is super yum!

Just had lunch. Good home made sandwich. Also a little talk about the neighborhood and the store. Goes back to the turn of the other century. Worth a stop and a good lunch, side patio to eat.

Amazing neighborhood gem. So happy I came across it. Come in for delicious sandwiches and great conversation.

The employees are fantastic at the store and its in a perfect location when you want to shop at Avenue B Grocery & Market. Its all right there.

As an outsider in Austin, Avenue B always makes me feel welcome and at home, plus they make the best sandwiches!When I tried to buy a few sandwiches to pack for a picnic at the Austin Kite Festival, the owner insisted on coming in on his day off to pack up our picnic so that the sandwiches would stay fresh. (Thanks, Ross!) It really doesnt get better than that!Avenue B has been here since 1909 and I hope it sticks around for a long time yet.

Defiantly an Austin gem. Near 45th street on Avenue B is this quirky grocery store and sandwich shop where you can find items you would expect to find along side items you defiantly would not expect to find but know you need. The owner and if you are lucky, the sandwich maker, Ross, is generally there with a welcoming and laid back demeanor. He has also provided outdoor seating with picnic benches and a bottle opener all in the shade.

Ross the owner was awesome! Excellent customer service! Food was delish! Chili w beans! 😋

Ross the owner greets you, rings you up and makes the sandwiches. I got the King Ross sandwich (heated). Great neighborhood lunch spot. Cash and cards accepted.

Avenue B is a small mom and pop business, that serves consistently great tasting sandwiches. I have enjoyed their food for more than a decade. The place is set in an old neighborhood grocery store, so its easy to drive past without realizing it until you have. There is picnic style seating and tables on the south side of the building, a wonderful place to dine at lunchtime. I strongly suggest calling before going as the owners take time off from time to time.

Great sandwich place in the neighborhood. Plus its an interesting little store and one of the oldest businesses around.

Nice nostalgic location. The owner is really a great person. Sandwich was delicious

Its been in operation since 1909. Its a neighborhood, historical landmark. For that alone it gets 5 stars. One of these days Ill try the roast beef sandwich.

I was in the mood for a sandwich that was in walking distance to where I was staying, and I happened upon this in my Google search. I am glad I did. The moment I unwrapped my king combo sandwich, I knew I was experiencing something special. The first bite elevated the experience to mythical levels.The service was great too. Ross, the owner, was great to talk with. I got a very kind soul vibe from him.At the time I visited, he was also holding a patio sale out back where you could purchase antiques, toys, and vintage clothes, which I enjoyed checking out.I recommend you check out this place if youre looking for a great sandwich, pleasant conversation, or even some antiques and vintage clothes.

I live across town from Avenue B now but I still go to lunch often. Really good food, made with care, one at a time. Lots of nostalgia there. I always find a conversation about the good ol days in Austin. Been a customer for 40+ yrs.

This grocery holds a special meaning for me and my family. It is an icon of days gone by! They have delicious fresh sandwiches.

Nestled in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. I went there to get a sandwich for lunch. The prices are a bit more than other places but the ingredients are fresh. I also have no problem supporting local. The owner was there at the time and was fun to chat with him. He takes pride in his store and wants to make the customer happy.The store is small and charming. This is a great place to grab lunch or drinks and sit outside at a picnic table with a group of friends.

I love old Austin. I wish I could go here more often. Great sandwiches

Delicious sandwich, friendly folks, beautiful neighborhood. Really cool stock. Sweet little house with a yard and picnic benches to eat at. This store will make you happy. Definitely stop by!

Very charming place. Will take you back in time. The outside seating is relaxing. Take a look at the picture I posted, lay down on the bench and look up and just breathe.

Great cold, Italian sandwich and a step back in time! It’s a really neat place, and I can’t wait to tell my friends about it!

Great sandwiches and an awesome owner! The sandwiches here all taste really fresh and are nicely constructed. Wed recommend the RLT and the Italian. Both super tasty.

Great little sandwich shop. Went here once years ago and forgot what it was called, went again recently and as great as I remembered. Try the tuna salad.

As an Austinite since 1981, I rate this as a must place to experience. Its an genuine, old-fashioned country store and casual eatery, nestled in the Hyde Park Neighborhood. Its run by the owner, Mr. Ross Mason, a candid and engaging fellow, who lives in the back of the store. We find it to be a calming place to have a handmade sandwich, a snack, coffee or cold soda outside. Do it soon. Under the radar bits of yesteryear like this one are disappearing rapidly in Austin, due to rapidly rising rents and property taxes. Depending on how busy the store is when you arrive, you may be lucky enough to have Ross give you a long time owners perspective of his business and Austin.

Fantastic sandwiches. You never know whats cooking for the daily special but its always fantastic. When theyre making soups or chili you have to get it.

Love this mom and pop store. The food is great and made with lots of love

Excellent sandwiches in a cool historic grocery.

This place is a “must visit before it’s gone for good” piece of old Austin. Around for a hundred years or so, according to old pics on the walls. There is an odd assortment of current and bygone era food supplies to purchase but the deli in the back and the man behind the counter is what tops off your visit. The sandwiches and seasonal soups are homemade and the cook/owner Ross is also “homemade”.Just don’t make the mistake of grabbing a cold drink or chips for your lunch and start eating before paying, because as handmade signs around the store say, “it’s against the law to consume groceries before they are paid for”. Just follow “Ross’s rules” and you’ll have a unique experience and a good meal.

Austin classic. I lived next to them for 3 years and make sure to come back to visit every time I return to austin. Hands down best sandwiches in the city. The owner is super cool, too. One of the few remaining weird old-austin places.

The man working there when I tried to purchase a raspberry yerba mate seemed very upset. instead of ringing me up, he picked up the yerba mate I had grabbed from the cooler, walked it back to the cooler, then walked to the door and gestured for me to leave. I’m fairly certain he did all this without saying a word. No eye contact. It was pretty surreal. I hope he’s ok.

Ive only been here a couple of times, but anytime Ive been Ive received helpful service (even when busy), and a delicious sandwich.While they made my sandwich, I took a moment to look around the store which was small but charming.I dont really have any complaints.

Best sandwiches ever! I love the atmosphere and if Im in the area on a gorgeous day, I always stop here for lunch. Be prepared to wait, though, and if its during the holidays, dont be surprised if its closed for weeks.

They say it is the oldest market in Austin! The place has a nice vibe, perfect for eating outside! And the sandwiches are delicious!

Excellent menu! Cant go wrong with any selection. Great feeling to the place.

Great unique place. The sandwiches are fantastic, and the owner is always friendly.

Love their quinoa - it is the best. Almost as good as their sandwiches!! Love to sit outside at the picnic tables.

We come here for the sandwiches and they are fresh and very tasty and well put-together

My daughter and I went here as an adventure, a step backward in time and she loved it for a good reason. This place is like a time capsule. And here’s what we bought: a kit-kat bar, a popsickle, a ring pop, 3 tootsie rolls, and a bag of chips. The total, $2.90. Come on, people who complain about the prices here! The people who can afford to live in Hyde park have to make 6 figures at a minimum! Support this place by patronizing it for the simple reason that a 7-year old loved it. She said, “I bet that guy just lived there and then turned it into a store.”Yeah, that’s probably what happened and I’ve seen that guy there for a thousand years and now he’s thinking of closing up shop! What? How about this, let’s bulldoze his store/house and build another condominium there! Are you people crazy? Take your kids there and buy stuff because it’s not just a store, but a museum of a simpler, more innocent time. Tip the guy with 20’s, 50’s, 100’s. He should be making 6 figures at his store but he’s struggling to stay in business.The owner took ice/snow out of his freezer and we threw it at each other and laughed and had a moment of pure joy, my daughter and I who can’t afford to live in Hyde Park anymore. Support this simple landmark for the sake of the owner, the store, the nostalgia, something pure, the joy of a 7-year-old, and the life blood of Austin.Otherwise, we may as well sell all of our souls and prepare for our town to turn into downtown Detroit. Wait, downtown Detroit may have more life in it after its death than Austin. Am I being sensational, maybe, but hopefully it will make you think before giving in to your own soulless existence and keep Austin weird. That’s what the saying means. Live it.

Cute old-fashioned grocery store with a deli in the back. Nice selection of deli sandwiches and the meat is good quality (Im picky about my deli meats!). Among our group, the King Combo was definitely the winning sandwich. There is a variety of sides you can get with your sandwich; everything is ala carte. I had salt & vinegar chips, a deviled egg (you can buy just one) and a pickle spear. I can never pass up on deviled eggs!

Feel like your back in time eating some of the freshest sandwiches today. The RPC rocks pimento cheese like no other.

Such a small town vibe here. Great Ruben!

Great sandwich, great service!

I love this place, there is no place like it. Hope it lasts forever.

The owner shook my hand and introduced me by name to both of the employees- everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Step back in time and enjoy a great sandwich

Fresh, delicious sandwiches made with experience, patience, and love.

Great place. Closed on Sunday

Ave B is nothing less than the true article. A gem of Austin.

Is this place ever open? Weve tried to come 5 or 6 times during supposed business hours in the last few months, and its never open.
