A laid-back lunch spot with killer sandwiches

Food Heads sandwich shop is happy to make you a standard tuna melt, but it also offers offbeat selections such as herb-roasted lamb served on ciabatta bread with grilled eggplant, feta cheese, and tangy tzatziki sauce. For vegetarians, the grilled portobello with blue cheese on multigrain bread is a first-rate option. Soup selections change daily, but spicy chicken tortilla is always available.

Located in a charming old house with hardwood floors and picnic benches out front, Food Heads is popular with workers from the nearby hospital as well as with University of Texas students.
