The first Schlotzsky's Deli opened in 1971, as a small shop on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. The original menu offered " one delectable sandwich," made from a combination of premium meats, cheeses, and marinated black olives served on hot sourdough bread. The restaurant succeeded, and today Schlotzsky's Deli is an international franchise restaurant chain with locations in 35 states and four foreign countries. The affordable menu offers the Original Schlotzsky's sandwich, along with fresh baked bread, fountain drinks, hot sandwiches, specialty pizzas, toasted wraps, tossed salads, gourmet soups, and much more.
