Reviews for Alvin Ord's in San Marcos, TX
Hidden gem! The Salvation was so delicious and the prices are right. Vibe is funky and one for those places that stays the same... through time. True original. Definitely stop by here when in San Marcos???? Read more
We drive over an hour to get the sandwiches. Our preference is the salvation and roast beef, both with extra meat. The staff is... very friendly. We always order to go but eat a wedge there n take the rest home or eat by the river. Be sure and take a sharpiepen when you go, so you can write your name on the wall. It's been a favorite since the 80's (SWT #1) and still the best sourdough bread sandwich I've ever had. Read more
I must say best sandwich shop in San Marcos Texas since the day I've been born I recommend trying the famous salvation sandwich... on French bread always a go-to for me as a kid I will get chopped BBQ on French bread but a very low key sandwich shop withgreat vibes also leave a memory while you're there and Tag your name or phrase on one of the numerous surfaces or booths to lookback on as you revisit. PS I will drive all the way from Austin Texas just to get a sandwich from this hidden gem. Read more
Such a delicious sandwich shop and a great value - the flavors bring back memories of my university days. When I get a bad... enough hankering, I drive all the way from Austin to have a meal here. Read more
Wonderful food friendly service. Haven't been here in 25 years and it hasn't changed a bit. It's like going to visit an old... friend Read more
The best sandwich shop! It?s worth the wait and I?m shocked it hasn?t changed over the years. My husband was very hesitant to... try the place due to the dated look, he was surprised how delicious the sandwich was but disappointed with the soda fountainwith very few working. Read more
The more things change the more some stay the same and the perfection of an Alvin Ords sandwich is the same today as the first... one I had 15 years ago. As of this posting it is take out only due to pandemic so you won't get to sit in the timeless taggedbooths but your order will still capture all the magic and fill you with as much salvation as you can handle.

Loved the bread! If you like the bread from Schlotzskis, you will like Alvin Ord's. I would recommend getting double meat. I had... the Salvation which is the house special. Solid choice. The restaurant has a college town/ hippie vibe and the music beingplayed adds to that. Overall a good choice. Read more
