Great sandwiches, good to see them in the valley! Their hot peppers is what makes the sandwich.

I got the new "Clubby" sandwich today. Turkey, ham and bacon with ranch dressing....SO GOOD! Their bread is out of this world great and unlike any other sandwich place, which I think sets it apart from all others. It is flaky and crispy and totally delicious!!!

Wow. The first time I walked in here I could not believe how amazing the smell was. I ordered the Italian with the works on the Multigrain roll. I need to order this bread in bulk to take home. Yummy I am going back for more!

I go here way too often. Since I work in the same complex, I tend to go here about 3 times a week. Potbelly's is honestly pretty similar to a Quiznos in that they specialize in toasted sub sandwiches. My personal favorites are the Wreck (salami, roast beed, turkey and ham), the Pizza Sandwich (meatball and pepperoni) and the classic Meatball. They also have pretty good chili and milkshakes; what else do you need right?

I eat here every week or so. I am not a sandwich person usually but these sandwiches are amazing. The crispy just toasted bread and all of the toppings you can imagine put me in heaven. The service is always nice and very friendly, always smiling! Love this place!

My favorite sandwich place! When I moved from D.C. to Arizona, I was sad to no longer be able to eat at Potbelly ... And then they opened two locations! My favorite sandwich is the turkey and I love their salads too. The hot peppers are HOT and I love them! The line always moves really quickly but, as other reviewers have noted, parking in this location can be problematic.

Yummy Yummy for the Tummy! Split the "Wreck" (roast beef, ham, salami and swiss cheese) and a meatball sandwich with hubby. You customize your sandwich with your choice of bread and a selection of condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, tomato, etc.). They even toast the rolls. Although both sandwiches were yummy, in our opinion the Wreck was the winner. A reviewer suggested adding bacon, but I thought it was perfect as is. Some reviews I read compared Potbelly to Quiznos, Subway or Capriotti's. No comparison.....Potbelly is so much better! The only drawback was the sandwiches were a little on the small side for hubby, but the perfect size for me. Hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a return visit before I leave. Any possibility a Potbelly will be headed to Southern CA anytime soon?

Seriously good sandwiches. I had an A Wreck Sub with Roast Beef, Turkey, Salami, and ham for five bucks you kidding me! Added bacon for $1.25 and it was some of the best bacon I've ever had. Definitely worth it. Added all the veggies included their delicious hot peppers. It's served warm and toasted and is super delicious. Really go try it for yourself.

First time checking out this place and would give it 4/5 stars. It was packed with the lunch crowd but line moved quickly. Ordered the wreck and it was solid, much better than Quiznos but same style. $5.25 or so for a regular sandwich so you won't break your bank.

Best sandwich shop hands down. This place is my favorite! I was introduced to Potbelly while living in Texas. Was so glad to see that they came to AZ. There are a variety of toppings that you can pick from (the hot peppers are by far the best). Give Potbelly a try for yourself. It is a great place to have a sandwich that goes beyond your basic cold sandwich.
(5)
Alan N.
I went to this place one. The sandwich was O.K. but rather small for the price. I guess if you want a large one you just have to order several small ones. With lots of other great sandwich places, I rate this one near the bottom. If nothing else, with the others you feel like you are getting your money's worth. Which Wich, Jimmy Johns, and definitely Capriotti's are all much better and better deals. Subway, we'll we won't go there but to their credit the sub will be bigger than here and half the price.

Tried this place today for lunch for something different. The wait is long around lunch time but the staff is pretty efficient and very nice! Prices were about what you would expect from a place that is higher quality than a Subway. I had a turkey sandwich and a cup of soup. Both were fresh and tasted good. Would make this a regular stop for my lunch.

LOL. OK so I bought a bunch of Potbelly stock on their IPO day. Cramer hyped it. A lot of articles recommend the stock....I bought as a lets see what happened type investment. Then it hits me I have never been to or even seen a Potbelly sandwich shop. So off we go to Potbellys. Honest opinion..OK better than subway for sure.....better than quiznos for sure.....Jimmy Johns...equal.....so so could be better could be worse. Growth is the hype...so lets see what happens. Nothing bad food wise nothing great.......service...sandwich shop service do not make more of it then it is.

just another sandwich shop. was clean inside and the staff was friendly but nothing that really sets this place apart from the other thousands of sandwich shops around. Also was a little disappointed in the sandwich size. Roughly the size of a 6" from subway but is $5? you'll have to spend a lot of money to get a potbelly from this place.

Marc S.
This a great sandwich place. It has a much warmer atmosphere than the typical sandwich chains. Their sandwiches are toasted and delicious. An added bonus are the freshly made smoothies, malts and shakes (no pre-made smoothies like some chains). Very friendly staff. For a quick sandwich, this is my new favorite place.

So yummy! I'd had Potbelly's sandwiches before when visiting the midwest, so I was thrilled that they were opening an outpost here in the Valley :) We finally had a chance to check it out just after Thanksgiving and it was terrific. I love a good toasted sub sandwich and that is just what these are: delicious and toasty. They have some pretty standard offerings for the actual sandwiches (I've tried the Italian, the Roast Beef, the Chicken and Cheddar, all of which are super), but I like the option of a few extras that you can upgrade to for an additional cost (bacon, for example - who doesn't love some bacon added to, well, anything?) The toasting process really locks in the goodness, warming up the meat, making the bread a little crunchy at the edges (but still soft and chewy inside), and goo-ifying the cheese which allows it to meld with the meat and bread into one perfectly tasty unit. Once the toasting is complete, you can add your toppings. One option is their own hot peppers. These hot peppers totally sealed the deal for me. I've had their sandwiches without them and they're good, but the flavor that these peppers added were definitely an upgrade, and the thing that'll keep me coming back. In addition to the sandwiches, they have bags of chips, fountain sodas, a cooler full of specialty sodas, juices, and drinks, along with amazing-sounding shakes (which I haven't tried) and signature cookies. We did not order any cookies, but the guy who helped us popped over to the table after we sat down to ask if he could give our son some mini oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Props to him both for the thought and for asking first (we of course said yes - you don't pass up free cookies!) The staff was very nice and friendly, although their loudly tie-dyed shirts were a bit much. There was a brief serenade from one of the guys while we were dining (I believe the song was Applause by Lady Gaga) but I believe this was because it had to do with their conversation with some of the other guests, so we didn't mind too much. The decor in the restaurant is nice; the layout is similar to many quick sandwich shops (counter, register, and soda along one wall with tables along the other), however the furnishings are nicer than the norm, the lighting is warm instead of over bright fluorescent lights, and the decorations are comfortable and unique. Pricing is pretty typical of this sort of shop, and the fact that the sandwiches are as good as they are means that this is a good value. I absolutely recommend checking this place out! Hopefully they'll expand into the East Valley soon so that we can stop in more often :)

I am the hubby that was referred to below and, yes, I had the Wreck. It was a decent sandwich from a franchised sandwich shop. The decor was neat and the store was clean. The menu was a little hard to read though. The sandwich maker was friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. Overall, a good sandwich (better than Subway) at a good price.

I am a new visitor to Pot Belly. Pot belly has good sandwiches ... but offers a great, cheerful experience along with the food! I was waited on by Olivia and Kenan and they were positive and upbeat ... really went the extra distance to serve up a great atmosphere along with the yummy sandwich. There are several typical chain sandwich shops closer to me ... but potbelly's positivity is rare in the fast food industry, so I will gladly drive a little further. I have recommended PB to several friends as the "happy place" to go to! Whomever hires here does a great job! Kudos! A little pleasantry goes a long way!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!! I love the chicken and cheddar, but the wreck is good too! It's my go to lunch spot when I want to eat out :) Love when they have live music! Get the banana milkshake- you won't regret it!

Sarah M.
Love it!!!! I'm addicted to these sandwiches. They are the perfect size, not too big. But if you need a bigger sandwich, they now offer that! Hands down, my favorite sandwich is "A Wreck" meats and cheeses and the hot peppers are to die for! Their cookies are delicious and homemade. And they have delicious shakes too. They are always super fast and the people are really friendly. I highly recommend it!!

I have been here a few times, each time hoping it would be better than the last. I love sandwiches and wanted so badly to like this place. However, their meat is not to be desired and despite the fact that you can add hot peppers and seasonings to your sandwich, mine have completely lacked flavor every single time.

I was really upset about a previous experience and lack of delivery. Every time I got the office to order with me and collected money, I'd place the order then be told there were no drivers. Out of frustration and pregnancy hormones, I sent a not so nice email in the heat of the moment, never expecting to receive a response. I got a response right away. We did get our order the next week, we were promised our future delivery requests would never have any issues. This makes me so happy because we have so few delivery options and this is by far our favorite. Thank you for making sure we were well taken care of.

I tried Potbelly's for the first time today. I tried the chicken salad and it was really good. I have never had a toasted sandwich with chicken salad before but it made a real believer out of me. I also liked the sandwich was a good size not too big and priced just right for what I got. Service was good and Kayla was especially helpful and friendly.

Stephanie K.
I have to admit that I'm not a frequent visitor of Potbelly's but I have become a fan lately. I'm not usual a sandwich eater which is what has kept me away for many years. I was in need of a quick and healthy meal so I popped into Potbelly's and was pleasantly surprised by their salad offerings. They have a few salads to choose from and you can add or subtract any of the sandwich toppings you would like. I get the one with chick peas and add spicy peppers and feta cheese. It's a few steps above Subway salads for the price so I can't complain! The staff is always super friendly and helpful as well.

Today, I have to give this place only 3 stars. We come here a lot and today it was not up to standards. I hope it is not slipping into doom. We ordered the Wreck salad. The grape tomatoes were all wrinkly. When I bit into it, a gross taste filled my mouth. I hope they fix this.

Mitchell I.
I have to admit I am biased. I have been going to Potbelly's for over 20 years. It started at the first Potbelly's in Chicago over 20 years ago. I do make a point to get the roast beef, double meat, everything, no peppers, extra mayo and mustard. Also having BBQ potato chips and a root beer helps with the experience. No matter the location, Potbelly's never disappoints.

This place was pretty happening when a friend and I came in for lunch. There was a guy singing and playing the guitar, and we came in at peak lunch hour around noon. We both ordered the Mediterranean sandwich (only vegetarian option) and it was really good. She got the hot peppers on hers and I'll have to do that next time since I love spicy food. I got their tomato soup, pretty good.

Potbelly's makes a tasty little sandwich for $4.80, and an even better one for $5.00. I was here today with some friends for their Pre- Grand Opening slated for tomorrow. A suggested donation of $5.00 went to Scottsdale Christian Academy Baseball Team (see photo). After giving my donation, I won a free shake on their spinning wheel. All the places were food items. Potbelly is a yummy Midwest sandwich place that has live music in all of their shops. The older locations have tall ceiling where a banjo, or guitar player sits on the top of the booth area while playing away. This location has a guitar playing in the corner on the right as you come in. Very cool. As for the food, Potbelly is known primarily for their their Wreck sub which is $5.00. It's made with salami, roast beef, turkey and ham along with swiss cheese. They also have two similar subs called: "Italian" with capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, salami with provolone cheese, also $5.00; and a "Pizza Sandwich" which has many of the above cold cuts but with marinara sauce. I've had both before and they are good too. Those are their three upscale sandwiches for $5.00, but their regular ones for $4.80 are equally good. I particularly like the Roast Beef (which I had today, see photo), but the Turkey Breast, Smoked Ham, Meatball are all delicious. I've been told by Jim their JV Manager, that their 30% larger sandwiches, called "Bigs", will be rolled out later in the year. Nice. You also need to try their hand-dipped shakes and smoothies. Delicious! Enjoy!

This place is great for a quick lunch in North Scottsdale. I get the Italian sandwich and I like that I can get the bread thin-sliced. It's always the perfect amount of food for lunch without over stuffing you. The employees are always incredibly cheerful and helpful!

The hubby and I came here on Sunday night at dinnertime, which must not be a popular time of day to go to a sandwich shop because we were the only ones in there. But when I opened the door, I thought, "oh wow, what a cute little place!" Kudos for decorations and a fun theme. I had to strain my neck to see the menu, which was way up high on the wall. I appreciated how I could get "thin" bread, where they slice some of it off so there is 1/3 less. I got the Mediterranean with no cheese and added chicken. It was stuffed well with peppers, artichokes and the likes. The prices were very fair for what you got. I don't know if its the most awesome sandwich I've ever eaten, but I would definitely go back. I tried my husband's Wreck and thought it was pretty tasty.

Irina H.
Tasty sandwiches, and very cute for a corporate place. Great for vegetarians! For a sub shop, they have a great vegetarian sandwich - this isn't just a cheese sandwich with extra pickles. Humus, artichoke, feta - delish! The sandwiches are heated, and you can add mushrooms, as well. It comes out delicious. Also try the pizza sandwich with no meat - throw in some mushrooms and hot peppers and you won't be sorry! They also have cookies for your sweet tooth and calories listings right on the sign, in case you want to know how much you're eating.

This place has been on my To Do List for some time now. After reading the menu online, I finally went there for lunch. I ordered: Italian Sandwich (Capicola, Mortadella, Pepperoni, Salami & Provolone Cheese), $5 Zapps Chips, $1.10 yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… There are a few things that make this sandwich shop unique: + The Bread is thinner than most (see my pics). + They offer Hot Peppers that are like Giardiniera...and they're hot. + They have Zapps Chips...very hard to find outside of the South. The Sandwich is toasted and is very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. The Hot Peppers are legitimately spicy and add flavor to the Sandwich. I love Zapps Chips and was very happy to see it offered here for sale. The employees here are very friendly and helpful with making your Sandwich. The only complaint is that when I asked for a 'Big' sized Sandwich (30% larger according to their website), they said they don't have Big Sandwiches yet....what? Why have it on your website then? Logic would tell you not to post it on your website....or at least post that it's "coming soon". Anyway, it's not the employees at the store's fault, that's a corporate office problem. The store has plenty of indoor seating and a small outdoor seating area as well. I was there on a Saturday at 11:15 and it was pretty busy. I would expect them to be really busy on weekdays for lunch. I'll have to come back when they have 'Big' Sandwich options ready. Return Factor - 80%

I've been driving by this place for a few months and always wanted to try this sandwich place. Finally the day has come. Walked in and there seems to always be a line but it goes really fast. The service is very friendly and smiling which makes your visit even more enjoyable. The place is clean, very inviting and just the atmosphere encourages you to eat there. I had the roast beef sandwiches which had lots of meat and toasted. What a toasted goodness. The only problem is that its a small sandwich but its so good. My kids had the wreck and inhaled it. They also had the broccoli cheddar soup which was also very good. I really enjoyed this place and can't wait til they add the big sandwiches to their menu but in the meantime I got to try their other sandwiches. Enjoy

We got sandwiches and salads here when some clients were in town. The staff was quick, nice, helpful and polite. The food was only OK in my opinion but that's just what I got - a chef salad. Everyone else was fairly pleased with their sandwiches and somehow we got an extra sandwich so I was able to taste something other than my salad. I wouldn't return for a salad but I would for the sandwiches.
(4)
Tracy V.
I don't even remember what sandwich I ordered it was that mediocre. What I do remember is that 1) the bread was incredibly greasy on the outside. I toasted it but you can do the same thing at Subway without that result. 2)I wish I had ordered Jimmy John's or Jersey Mike's. No issues with service, but not coming back.

Alyse H.
In my book, Potbelly is 5 stars all the way. I am used to getting Potbelly in the Midwest, complete with that Midwest hospitality. That was definitely what was lacking when I visited this location in Scottsdale. I am used to the employees asking "What ya havin'?" and getting people through the line so quickly, efficiently and friendly that it is a treat to eat there. The employees at this location were a little less than enthused to be there and didn't acknowledge me until I was standing there for a few minutes waiting to order. They also don't have the BIG size sandwiches which was a disappointment because my hubby can eat way more than the normal size Wreck sandwich. The taste of the sandwich was just as good as I expect, but I needed a little bit more hospitality to reach 5 star normal Potbelly caliber.

Chris K.
Decided to stop in and give this place a try. They make really good sandwiches. More importantly, however, the staff is amazing. They are really friendly and willing to have a nice chat while you order and they make your sandwich. I would probably go back just for the service but the sandwiches are delicious as well.

Busy sandwich shop that always delivers great food! Been here a few times and have only tried the vegetarian sandwich yet the menu offers a lot more variety than other sub shops. Despite the crowds, they get you through quickly and for a decent price. Rather limited in toppings (no spinach) yet otherwise a great alternative to Subway.

The best sandwich shop place around. This franchise is out of Chicago. Used to eat there all the time when they had just 1 location. I highly recommend this place to get away from the boring sandwich chains

Lindsey D.
Those hot peppers are...hot...and I like it! In fact, I might have also bought a jar of the hot peppers to take home. What can I say? I like it hot! The sandwiches here are tasty. Every sandwich comes out hot off the grill and they provide the calorie count on the menu next to the item of food. I personally enjoy the chicken and cheddar sandwich and add the hot peppers. If you like chips, make sure you get the Jalapeno or the BBQ Ranch chips. Both are really tasty. I'm happy that Potbellys came to Phoenix. I only wish one was closer to my house!

I order Potbelly almost once a week for lunch meetings and for guests/VIP's we have come into our office. The food is always fantastic, service is always very friendly, and the online ordering makes everything a breeze! Not to mention the prices are extremely reasonable!! Everyone should do themselves a favor and check Potbelly out...I can guarantee you'll be back!

Being from the Midwest, finding out there was a new Potbelly coming in within easy driving distance was like a gift from the heavens. Potbelly not only has delicious sandwiches, but their shakes are to die for and they come in flavors you dont find all that often. The bread the sandwiches come on is delicous, almost like a larger, softer, baguette. The ingredients are fresh and the servers are always friendly (must be a Midwest thing ;) ). My real favorite however is the banana shake, which I have failed to come across really anywhere else. Made with real ingredients to keep out that yucky candy-banana flavor, they are delicious (and if you are on a diet try the smoothie version instead!) There is something for everyone from giant pickles straight out of the jar to delicious oatmeal cookies that are always soft and taste fresh baked. Defiantly worth changing up your Subway or Jimmy John's routine for, you'll keep going back.

Loved this place! variety good, prices great. Very helpful staff when I asked about ingredients because of my food allergies. Loved the food - perfect bread. My son (8 yo boy) said it was the best sandwich he's ever had - he ordered the pizza sandwich. And loved the giant pickles which were only $1. We'll be back again

The toasting process really locks in the goodness, warming up the meat, making the bread a little crunchy at the edges (but still soft and chewy inside), and goo-ifying the cheese which allows it to meld with the meat and bread into one perfectly tasty unit. Once the toasting is complete, you can add your toppings. One option is their own hot peppers. These hot peppers totally sealed the deal for me. I've had their sandwiches without them and they're good, but the flavor that these peppers added were definitely an upgrade, and the thing that'll keep me coming back. In addition to the sandwiches, they have bags of chips, fountain sodas, a cooler full of specialty sodas, juices, and drinks, along with amazing-sounding shakes (which I haven't tried) and signature cookies. We did not order any cookies, but the guy who helped us popped over to the table after we sat down to ask if he could give our son some mini oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Props to him both for the thought and for asking first (we of course said yes - you don't pass up free cookies!) The staff was very nice and friendly, although their loudly tie-dyed shirts were a bit much. There was a brief serenade from one of the guys while we were dining (I believe the song was Applause by Lady Gaga) but I believe this was because it had to do with their conversation with some of the other guests, so we didn't mind too much. The decor in the restaurant is nice; the layout is similar to many quick sandwich shops (counter, register, and soda along one wall with tables along the other), however the furnishings are nicer than the norm, the lighting is warm instead of over bright fluorescent lights, and the decorations are comfortable and unique. Pricing is pretty typical of this sort of shop, and the fact that the sandwiches are as good as they are means that this is a good value. I absolutely recommend checking this place out! Hopefully they'll expand into the East Valley soon so that we can stop in more often :)

I am the hubby that was referred to below and, yes, I had the Wreck. It was a decent sandwich from a franchised sandwich shop. The decor was neat and the store was clean. The menu was a little hard to read though. The sandwich maker was friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. Overall, a good sandwich (better than Subway) at a good price.

I am a new visitor to Pot Belly. Pot belly has good sandwiches ... but offers a great, cheerful experience along with the food! I was waited on by Olivia and Kenan and they were positive and upbeat ... really went the extra distance to serve up a great atmosphere along with the yummy sandwich. There are several typical chain sandwich shops closer to me ... but potbelly's positivity is rare in the fast food industry, so I will gladly drive a little further. I have recommended PB to several friends as the "happy place" to go to! Whomever hires here does a great job! Kudos! A little pleasantry goes a long way!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!! I love the chicken and cheddar, but the wreck is good too! It's my go to lunch spot when I want to eat out :) Love when they have live music! Get the banana milkshake- you won't regret it!
(5)Sarah M.
Love it!!!! I'm addicted to these sandwiches. They are the perfect size, not too big. But if you need a bigger sandwich, they now offer that! Hands down, my favorite sandwich is "A Wreck" meats and cheeses and the hot peppers are to die for! Their cookies are delicious and homemade. And they have delicious shakes too. They are always super fast and the people are really friendly. I highly recommend it!!

Sandwich was good, service was helpful, will come back for sure.

Food is good, Their fat free dressing is pretty yummy too. And if you love shakes, you must try EVERY SINGLE shake flavor they offer.

I have been here a few times, each time hoping it would be better than the last. I love sandwiches and wanted so badly to like this place. However, their meat is not to be desired and despite the fact that you can add hot peppers and seasonings to your sandwich, mine have completely lacked flavor every single time.

I was really upset about a previous experience and lack of delivery. Every time I got the office to order with me and collected money, I'd place the order then be told there were no drivers. Out of frustration and pregnancy hormones, I sent a not so nice email in the heat of the moment, never expecting to receive a response. I got a response right away. We did get our order the next week, we were promised our future delivery requests would never have any issues. This makes me so happy because we have so few delivery options and this is by far our favorite. Thank you for making sure we were well taken care of.

Cannot go wrong with sandwiches here..never be afraid to try something different from the chains..will definitely come back when I'm in town
(4)Hailey I.
Great lunch option - the cookies are especially delicious. Glad you offer a delivery option but I wish the minimum wasn't $25 for delivery. Have to go with jimmy johns when you can't find enough coworkers to join in on your order.

This location has never let us down. The service is always fast with extra attention paid to details...tonight was no exception!

I tried Potbelly's for the first time today. I tried the chicken salad and it was really good. I have never had a toasted sandwich with chicken salad before but it made a real believer out of me. I also liked the sandwich was a good size not too big and priced just right for what I got. Service was good and Kayla was especially helpful and friendly.

I have to admit that I'm not a frequent visitor of Potbelly's but I have become a fan lately. I'm not usual a sandwich eater which is what has kept me away for many years. I was in need of a quick and healthy meal so I popped into Potbelly's and was pleasantly surprised by their salad offerings. They have a few salads to choose from and you can add or subtract any of the sandwich toppings you would like. I get the one with chick peas and add spicy peppers and feta cheese. It's a few steps above Subway salads for the price so I can't complain! The staff is always super friendly and helpful as well.

Today, I have to give this place only 3 stars. We come here a lot and today it was not up to standards. I hope it is not slipping into doom. We ordered the Wreck salad. The grape tomatoes were all wrinkly. When I bit into it, a gross taste filled my mouth. I hope they fix this.
(3)Mitchell I.
I have to admit I am biased. I have been going to Potbelly's for over 20 years. It started at the first Potbelly's in Chicago over 20 years ago. I do make a point to get the roast beef, double meat, everything, no peppers, extra mayo and mustard. Also having BBQ potato chips and a root beer helps with the experience. No matter the location, Potbelly's never disappoints.

This place was pretty happening when a friend and I came in for lunch. There was a guy singing and playing the guitar, and we came in at peak lunch hour around noon. We both ordered the Mediterranean sandwich (only vegetarian option) and it was really good. She got the hot peppers on hers and I'll have to do that next time since I love spicy food. I got their tomato soup, pretty good.

Potbelly's makes a tasty little sandwich for $4.80, and an even better one for $5.00. I was here today with some friends for their Pre- Grand Opening slated for tomorrow. A suggested donation of $5.00 went to Scottsdale Christian Academy Baseball Team (see photo). After giving my donation, I won a free shake on their spinning wheel. All the places were food items. Potbelly is a yummy Midwest sandwich place that has live music in all of their shops. The older locations have tall ceiling where a banjo, or guitar player sits on the top of the booth area while playing away. This location has a guitar playing in the corner on the right as you come in. Very cool. As for the food, Potbelly is known primarily for their their Wreck sub which is $5.00. It's made with salami, roast beef, turkey and ham along with swiss cheese. They also have two similar subs called: "Italian" with capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, salami with provolone cheese, also $5.00; and a "Pizza Sandwich" which has many of the above cold cuts but with marinara sauce. I've had both before and they are good too. Those are their three upscale sandwiches for $5.00, but their regular ones for $4.80 are equally good. I particularly like the Roast Beef (which I had today, see photo), but the Turkey Breast, Smoked Ham, Meatball are all delicious. I've been told by Jim their JV Manager, that their 30% larger sandwiches, called "Bigs", will be rolled out later in the year. Nice. You also need to try their hand-dipped shakes and smoothies. Delicious! Enjoy!

This place is great for a quick lunch in North Scottsdale. I get the Italian sandwich and I like that I can get the bread thin-sliced. It's always the perfect amount of food for lunch without over stuffing you. The employees are always incredibly cheerful and helpful!

The hubby and I came here on Sunday night at dinnertime, which must not be a popular time of day to go to a sandwich shop because we were the only ones in there. But when I opened the door, I thought, "oh wow, what a cute little place!" Kudos for decorations and a fun theme. I had to strain my neck to see the menu, which was way up high on the wall. I appreciated how I could get "thin" bread, where they slice some of it off so there is 1/3 less. I got the Mediterranean with no cheese and added chicken. It was stuffed well with peppers, artichokes and the likes. The prices were very fair for what you got. I don't know if its the most awesome sandwich I've ever eaten, but I would definitely go back. I tried my husband's Wreck and thought it was pretty tasty.
(4)Irina H.
Tasty sandwiches, and very cute for a corporate place. Great for vegetarians! For a sub shop, they have a great vegetarian sandwich - this isn't just a cheese sandwich with extra pickles. Humus, artichoke, feta - delish! The sandwiches are heated, and you can add mushrooms, as well. It comes out delicious. Also try the pizza sandwich with no meat - throw in some mushrooms and hot peppers and you won't be sorry! They also have cookies for your sweet tooth and calories listings right on the sign, in case you want to know how much you're eating.

This place has been on my To Do List for some time now. After reading the menu online, I finally went there for lunch. I ordered: Italian Sandwich (Capicola, Mortadella, Pepperoni, Salami & Provolone Cheese), $5 Zapps Chips, $1.10 yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… yelp.com/biz_photos/potb… There are a few things that make this sandwich shop unique: + The Bread is thinner than most (see my pics). + They offer Hot Peppers that are like Giardiniera...and they're hot. + They have Zapps Chips...very hard to find outside of the South. The Sandwich is toasted and is very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. The Hot Peppers are legitimately spicy and add flavor to the Sandwich. I love Zapps Chips and was very happy to see it offered here for sale. The employees here are very friendly and helpful with making your Sandwich. The only complaint is that when I asked for a 'Big' sized Sandwich (30% larger according to their website), they said they don't have Big Sandwiches yet....what? Why have it on your website then? Logic would tell you not to post it on your website....or at least post that it's "coming soon". Anyway, it's not the employees at the store's fault, that's a corporate office problem. The store has plenty of indoor seating and a small outdoor seating area as well. I was there on a Saturday at 11:15 and it was pretty busy. I would expect them to be really busy on weekdays for lunch. I'll have to come back when they have 'Big' Sandwich options ready. Return Factor - 80%

I've been driving by this place for a few months and always wanted to try this sandwich place. Finally the day has come. Walked in and there seems to always be a line but it goes really fast. The service is very friendly and smiling which makes your visit even more enjoyable. The place is clean, very inviting and just the atmosphere encourages you to eat there. I had the roast beef sandwiches which had lots of meat and toasted. What a toasted goodness. The only problem is that its a small sandwich but its so good. My kids had the wreck and inhaled it. They also had the broccoli cheddar soup which was also very good. I really enjoyed this place and can't wait til they add the big sandwiches to their menu but in the meantime I got to try their other sandwiches. Enjoy

We got sandwiches and salads here when some clients were in town. The staff was quick, nice, helpful and polite. The food was only OK in my opinion but that's just what I got - a chef salad. Everyone else was fairly pleased with their sandwiches and somehow we got an extra sandwich so I was able to taste something other than my salad. I wouldn't return for a salad but I would for the sandwiches.
(4)Tracy V.
I don't even remember what sandwich I ordered it was that mediocre. What I do remember is that 1) the bread was incredibly greasy on the outside. I toasted it but you can do the same thing at Subway without that result. 2)I wish I had ordered Jimmy John's or Jersey Mike's. No issues with service, but not coming back.
(2)Alyse H.
In my book, Potbelly is 5 stars all the way. I am used to getting Potbelly in the Midwest, complete with that Midwest hospitality. That was definitely what was lacking when I visited this location in Scottsdale. I am used to the employees asking "What ya havin'?" and getting people through the line so quickly, efficiently and friendly that it is a treat to eat there. The employees at this location were a little less than enthused to be there and didn't acknowledge me until I was standing there for a few minutes waiting to order. They also don't have the BIG size sandwiches which was a disappointment because my hubby can eat way more than the normal size Wreck sandwich. The taste of the sandwich was just as good as I expect, but I needed a little bit more hospitality to reach 5 star normal Potbelly caliber.
(4)Chris K.
Decided to stop in and give this place a try. They make really good sandwiches. More importantly, however, the staff is amazing. They are really friendly and willing to have a nice chat while you order and they make your sandwich. I would probably go back just for the service but the sandwiches are delicious as well.
(5)Patrick H.
Larger than the store on FLW and 101. Fast and friendly service. They even had a guy playing guitar at lunch. My wreck sandwich was as good as usual.
(4)Diana B.
Awful, dirty, food not cooked all the way, shakes are with syrups!!!awful. Will never go there again, workers are rude.
(1)Scott R.
Busy sandwich shop that always delivers great food! Been here a few times and have only tried the vegetarian sandwich yet the menu offers a lot more variety than other sub shops. Despite the crowds, they get you through quickly and for a decent price. Rather limited in toppings (no spinach) yet otherwise a great alternative to Subway.
(4)John G.
The sandwiches taste fine but the servings are small and the menu is really lacking variety.
(1)Rick S.
The best sandwich shop place around. This franchise is out of Chicago. Used to eat there all the time when they had just 1 location. I highly recommend this place to get away from the boring sandwich chains
(5)Lindsey D.
Those hot peppers are...hot...and I like it! In fact, I might have also bought a jar of the hot peppers to take home. What can I say? I like it hot! The sandwiches here are tasty. Every sandwich comes out hot off the grill and they provide the calorie count on the menu next to the item of food. I personally enjoy the chicken and cheddar sandwich and add the hot peppers. If you like chips, make sure you get the Jalapeno or the BBQ Ranch chips. Both are really tasty. I'm happy that Potbellys came to Phoenix. I only wish one was closer to my house!
(4)Joe P.
Open up a shop in the west valley, pronto!
(5)Michelle P.
I order Potbelly almost once a week for lunch meetings and for guests/VIP's we have come into our office. The food is always fantastic, service is always very friendly, and the online ordering makes everything a breeze! Not to mention the prices are extremely reasonable!! Everyone should do themselves a favor and check Potbelly out...I can guarantee you'll be back!
(5)Dan M.
Love me some potbelly's:) Get the roast beef with double meat, double pickles!
(5)Derek N.
Nicely done sandwiches. Quizno's replacement. Stay away from the dream bar (unless you like nightmares).
(3)Emmy M.
There are a couple vegetarian friendly sandwiches. My favorite is the Mediterranean. So yummy!!

Being from the Midwest, finding out there was a new Potbelly coming in within easy driving distance was like a gift from the heavens. Potbelly not only has delicious sandwiches, but their shakes are to die for and they come in flavors you dont find all that often. The bread the sandwiches come on is delicous, almost like a larger, softer, baguette. The ingredients are fresh and the servers are always friendly (must be a Midwest thing ;) ). My real favorite however is the banana shake, which I have failed to come across really anywhere else. Made with real ingredients to keep out that yucky candy-banana flavor, they are delicious (and if you are on a diet try the smoothie version instead!) There is something for everyone from giant pickles straight out of the jar to delicious oatmeal cookies that are always soft and taste fresh baked. Defiantly worth changing up your Subway or Jimmy John's routine for, you'll keep going back.
(5)Dana B.
Loved this place! variety good, prices great. Very helpful staff when I asked about ingredients because of my food allergies. Loved the food - perfect bread. My son (8 yo boy) said it was the best sandwich he's ever had - he ordered the pizza sandwich. And loved the giant pickles which were only $1. We'll be back again
