What a rude and unprofessional place. I ordered a chicken panini and they didn’t even put chicken in it. When I went back to let them know, instead of apologizing or fixing the mistake, they looked at me and said “have a good rest of your day” — in a sarcastic, dismissive way, basically telling me to leave. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. Zero respect for customers. I’ll never go back, and I hope management takes this seriously. If you care about good service and basic manners, stay away from this place.

I tried the Home Run Panini one day and the Mr. Big the next. Both were so good I had to come back twice in a row. This is a true family business with friendly service, big portions, and food that feels like it was made with care.
The Home Run was perfectly balanced, while the Mr. Big lives up to its name. You don’t leave hungry here. Everything tastes fresh, the bread has that perfect crunch, and the staff makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in.
Simple verdict: Happy Panini makes sandwiches worth planning your week around.

Sleeper sandwich spot - walked in to find a whole menu section devoted to hot beef sandwiches, two with garlic broth on the side. What?! Succulent meat, aioli, arugula, good bread. Friggin delicious, and friendly team out front. Needs a happy hour beer and wine menu but that’s my only note. I live an hour south and definitely tempted to find more reasons to get up this way for a sammie at Happy’s!

Solid panini place. Portions are decent compared to the price. Food tasted fresh. Good selection of soft drinks. The vibe is a sandwich shop that has been around for many years and is very consistent. Nice people too

Visited today for the first time and enjoyed it. Parking is easy, service is quick and efficient! Even better the food is an excellent value!
I absolutely LOVE Happy Panini and will forever be a life long fan. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I've yet to try something I haven't loved. I had the Hello Sunshine tonight, and dug in before I even got the photo 😂. Check this place out!

I ordered a cubano from Happy Panini yesterday. Several hours later, I have the worst food poisoning I have ever had. So sad, because I have heard great things about this place.

I took a short road trip north to Hutto to visit Happy Panini. The restaurant is located on the corner in a small downtown area and has both inside and outside seating.
There are a lot of places that say they have a great Cuban ($9.00) sandwich. Sadly, many fail to execute the dish.
Happy Panini's version of this Caribbean classic is the perfect combination of ham, pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. The ingredients blended perfectly, held together by a sourdough pressed roll (panini), sourced locally from The New World Bakery in Kyle, Texas. You will notice the juicy, tender pork when you take your first bite. I also appreciate when a Cuban is not smothered in mustard. HP is not trying to hide their ingredients.
Owner Chris Auditore says the sandwich is one of his top sellers. He also recommended trying Mr. BIG ($10.25) and Rocky's Roast Beef ($9.25).
Following those recommendations, I also tried the Mr. BIG, which included roast beef, smoked ham, turkey, Genoa salami, and pepperoni with sharp cheddar and provolone cheeses, pickled jalapeños, and chili garlic mayo. The five-meat behemoth was about 1 1/2 times the Cuban and was packed with flavor. The mayo and jalapeños hit you after the first bite, but after your taste buds acclimate, all the wonderful meats and cheeses shine through.
Happy Panini offers diners options for all their sandwiches. You can get each selection on a wrap, chaffle, or in a bowl. For those who dont know, a chaffle is a low-carb egg and cheese version of a waffle.
Chris, along with his wife Gina, designed the menu with a nod to the great kitchens of Italy, using fresh ingredients put together in simple dishes. That's why, in addition to great paninis, you will also find pastas on the menu and side dishes like Caprese ($6) and pasta salads ($2/$4). They also have homemade milkshakes ($6)
I am a sucker for a good pasta salad, and I had to try Happy's version. It had bacon, sweet peas, tri-colored peppers, green onions, and cheese. Get the small to go along with your sandwich, or the large with half a sandwich, and take the half panini and leftover salad home for another meal.
Excellent, well-run family business. Head up 130 and give them a try. It's worth the trip!
