The sandwich is so good and it's crunchy. It's tasty all in one. it is a good looking vibe in here and the customers were very nice and friendly to us.

I loved the food Used to eat at the one in RR growing up Pretty expensive though now Service was fine Ambiance normal It's in a college town I remember the bread being better in the past I'd go back

One of the things when I do reviews is if they are consistently good and this place always hits. They are very busy so I suggest to call ahead but the quality of their food the flavor it's always so good. I prefer this over Schlotzkys any day. Staff is always wonderful. Also, their coconut cream pie is so good.

I love this place so much. It's been around since before I was even in college back in 2011. It's the best sandwhich shop in all of San Marcos, possibly Texas in my opinion ;) Pro tip: try the stuffed jalapeños.

Sooooooo good. You should go to Alvin ords. It's the best sandwich you can buy. Get French bread

They basically serve muffulettas, along the line of Schlotzsky's, but minus all the Cinnabon, pizza frou-frou and corporate feel. The menu is basic, the prices good, the ambiance funky. I was happy to see that Alvin Ords still exist. I loved the one in Huntsville and it's good to know you can still get that simple goodness without going full corporate. This becomes a San Marcos must for me. Check it out!

Ahh Alvin Ord's...the only mom and pop sandwich shop in San Marcos that Schlotzky's wishes it could be but can't because Schlotzky's is just too damn corporate. If you want a sandwich shop with a punk rock/anti-establishment vibe and ambiance, then this is the place for you. You can order your sub any way you like and the servers will accommodate you. I ordered a medium salvation sandwich without cheddar, just mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes and mustard and no chips. They serve Mexican Coke and they also have an amazing dessert selection. I ordered the chocolate mousse pie topped with whipped cream and it was good.

This place absolutely shreds. It's so good. Word around the campfire is that this is the OG schlotzskys and the company split up way back in the day. I always get the salvation sandwiche and it's amazing. The bread is outta control, the meat is great and tasty, and everything on it tastes real fresh and REAL, whereas at a chain place like s*bway you kinda feel like you're eating some lab engineered crap. The inside hasn't been updated since we were cast out of the garden of Eden, but that lends itself to an old school feel. Bring markers and add to the graffiti! All the booths are totally covered and makes for a unique photo op. The service leaves a little to be desired, but please remember you're dealing with disgruntled college students who don't make enough and also don't understand the world completely. This is also handmade food we're talking about and again, not assembly line crap like s*bway. Your patience will be rewarded with free refills, don't worry!

THEE BEST SANDWICH SHOP, hands down in San Marcos. Their menu is straight to the point, making ordering super simple. They offer chips, pickles, cookies as sides. But let me tell you there is something about these sandwiches that is so special, like you just know it's an Alvin Ord's s sandwich by the fullness, flavor, and satisfying taste. My go to is the Turkey Sanwhich, served on warm break with shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, turkey. It's so simple, but so delicious. Their rush hour is definitely during lunch, and the line even sometimes is out the door. Highly suggest putting an order on the phone so you can come by and just pick up. They have table and booths eating inside - and definitely hole in the wall vibes. Come thru and support local!
