I have loved potbelly since my first wreck over ten years ago. And love it more that I have had other imitators that just don't do it like Potbelly. Simple, fast, cheap, delicious. Need I say more. And this location has live acoustic music Sundays.

Yeah, I'm not even going to pretend like I don't get excited over Potbelly, because I LOVE YOU POTBELLY! You're always so kind to me, so loving and generous and understanding. You're like a sugar baby: I know you're getting with other people but when we're together you still make me feel like you're all mine... OK, in all seriousness, Potbelly really is delish. Unlike many sandwich shops who seem to go weak on the meat and heavy on the lettuce on top of some whatever bread, Potbelly puts the perfect amount of meat with the delicious toppings of your choice. No matter what sandwich I get, the hot peppers and Italian seasoning and oil always seems to make it on there. I really enjoy the Italian and the roast beef sandwiches, though others (such as the pulled pork) are great as well! You have an option of multi-grain, white, or "skinny" bread and either regular or big size. Soups and salads are also available, the broccoli cheddar gets me almost every time. This location is kept clean and has plenty of seating, indoors and out. It's located amongst a bunch of stores so that's why I usually get sucked in (blame the errands). The staff has always been nice! Live music sometimes. I was going to say that Potbelly costs a little more than Subway, but come to think of it, they're probably about equal in price but Potbelly blows Subway away in quality--duh! I know it's just a sandwich shop, but somehow it has won my heart.

Take three steps back & stay out of my space. Not Myspace the website, literally the area around me, my space. Bring your patience with you to this location because it can be a mad house. I recently came into this location during lunch & it was very busy. The parking lot was a mad house & inside was even crazier. The line here is very cramped & people are rubbing up against you because everyone is that close in line. What I meant by stay out of my space. The staff here was very friendly & tried to take your order & have it to you as quick as possible. Even though the line was a little bit annoying the staff did get orders taken & delivered fairly quickly. I got a tuna sandwich here & it was absolutely delicious. The reason for my three stars & not more is simply because they prices here are higher & the portions are not that big. The place was fairly clean but there were a few tables with crumbs on them but that is to be expected during an afternoon lunch rush. Overall the line was a little bit cramped but the staff was friendly & fast & the food was delicious. The portions could be a little bit bigger but it is worth checking out & I would eat here again if I was in the area.

There are some things in life I just don't have to know about. The cookie ice cream sandwich at Potbelly's is one of those things. While I have resisted thus far, I'm not sure how long my will-power will last. Potbelly's is our go-to for work lunches as our corporate office is a few miles away. During a few training these past months, Potbelly's was a great alternative to the typical pizza and Panera. You can cater for large groups OR have the option to place a specific order. When ordering online, you can customize an order per person so when you get your grub it's all labeled and ready to go. They have a good variety of sandwiches, I'd say there is something for everyone. If a sandwich doesn't suit you, many of their options can be made into a salad. The Italian is my favorite sammie, and I love that they serve it warm. This is the nail in the coffin: their cookies. Oh good LAWD. Their cookies are amazing. More specifically their oatmeal chocolate chip is unparalleled. It's so bad it's good. Whenever I take this one as an "after lunch" treat, it literally soaks through my napkin. I know, I know. That's probably butter and super unhealthy but they're very hard to say no to. Definitely check this place out to shake up your typical sandwich routine!

This Potbelly location really has a nice way of not feeling like a chain to me. I know it is and I know that the chain-i-ness of it is probably what keeps it so consistent and keeps me coming back, but when I'm here, it's cozy and I'm happy. I am rarely in the area for lunch, so this is a quick dinner spot for me. Recently, I have fallen for their "flats" which are lower in calories and quite good. I usually load one of those up with their chicken salad. Potbelly has a great chicken salad with quality chicken breast chunks and it is not dripping with mayo. There's some mayo, but I don't feel like it's calorie overload when I indulge here. I'm also a fan of their soups. I've never had a soup here that I didn't enjoy. Meats and veggies are plentiful and cooked just right. The soup bases are tasty! Top of the list is the chicken enchilada soup for me which had a nice little kick. Often times there is someone playing a little love music in the eating area. It's never been obnoxious or annoying, so kudos to our local musicians. The staff is helpful and know how to capture my interest. They actually got me to switch from their regular bread to the flat and I'm glad that I listened. They know their stuff.

I have not been to Potbelly in about 2 years so today was to be a real treat for us. We got 2 roast beef sandwiches. They were ok. There seems to be no flavor at all and that is sad.The worst part was the beef had grizzle running through it. They must use a cheap processed meat I suppose. I ordered mine with extra hot peppers and the peppers had zero flavor, I asked for easy oil because I wanted the flavor of the pepper but there was no flavor. Thankfully I got some balsamic dressing to dip the sandwich in or it would have been a 1 star instead of 2. When we paid for our food the woman did not even bag it for us we had to bag our order. Very different Potbelly than what is used to be.

Good food but small portions. Great natural smoothies, especially a banana one. I also love the vegan options that are very tasty. And it's cute atmosphere. .nice music. .perfect for a lunch after or before shopping. I also love their pickles.

Overview - Everytime I've gone here my food is fresh and is tasty. I rather grab a Sammy from here than any jimmy johns or subway or quiznos hands down. The food is just better and at a good price. To top it off its always super clean! Bravo to the manager here. Great job keeping staff positive and i hope well rewarded. For keeping your food fresh and tummy and your establishment so clean! Favorite - Love the Mediterranean with chicken. Staff - Any time over come the staff is young, im guessing 16-20 year olds but its refreshing to see such happy, fun, kind young gals who seem to actually enjoy their job. They are always bubbly and helpful and so sweet.

My sandwich of choice is the turkey and swiss skinny sandwich. The staff members are friendly and helpful. I enjoy coming to this location. It is clean and on Sunday there was soft music playing. A skinny sandwich and pop chips will run you about $6. This is about the cost of a meal at most fast food places but it is much better. Tonight I tried the chocolate brownie cookie. It was amazing. Clearly, I cannot have it often but boy it was quite a treat. If you like brownies and cookies, try it. You will be a fan too!

If I'm looking for a hot sandwich and I want it fast than this is my go to place. I think the sandwiches are decent. Try the oatmeal chocolate chips cookies, they are delicious.

I never understood why people would go to Subway when there's a Potbelly right across the street. Subway's oven barely even toasts the bread, just warms it--somewhat similar to Panera's fake panini presses that are really just griddles designed to imprint grill marks onto the bread. Bloody cheaters. At Potbelly, the slow conveyor toaster makes the bread crisp and fillings hot. The workers are cheerful and hustle pretty well during peak times. They have a bit of fun trying to predict what sandwich I'll order since it always revolves. My mainstays are the Wreck, with turkey, ham, salami and roast beef; the Mediterranean with chicken, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, cucumbers and hummus; and the new Toasty Turkey BLT with Nueske's Applewood-Smoked bacon. I almost always get giardiniera (hot peppers) either on the sandwich or on the side because I LOVE THAT STUFF. I'm not sure why Potbelly sees less business than Panera (brand recognition?) less indoor seating, maybe?) but the good thing about it is that there are way fewer loudmouths and screaming children.

I wanted to take a moment to review yet another wonderful experience today with Potbelly. I order in lunches for customer visits to my office. 99% of the time I'm VERY last minute, which makes it tough for me to find places that will be able to fulfill my orders. This is not the case with Potbelly. I called with less than two hours notice for two meetings that we had today. I spoke with Brian, who was just INCREDIBLE. He didn't miss any details in taking the order, and I'm glad he asked questions because there were plenty of details that I would have left out had he not asked me. Brian made sure to bag and invoice the two orders separately for me, and also had each sandwich labeled with the person's name. If you've ever ordered for events with picky eaters, you know how awesome it is to order from somewhere with great attention to detail! Our orders were delivered at the perfect time, and everything was great! Fresh, neatly packed and labeled with care. LOVE IT! I made sure to call Brian after the lunches today to thank him for the wonderful experience, and he offered to keep note of any future meetings I had, and also offered to give me a call a week or so in advance so that we could place the order together. Again - AMAZING service. Where else will you find something like this other than your large catering businesses that charge you an arm and a leg (and don't let you individualize your meals)? Brian's customer service skills are above and beyond the norm, for sure. I've also been in to this location several times to purchase lunch for myself, and the service is always great - you're greeted with a friendly smile and served promptly, even with a line out the door. A+++++++++++++++ Service here, folks!!!

This is the best sub sandwich I have ever eaten. Their soups are also really tasty. It's a little bit more expensive than other sub sandwich places but well worth it. The meats are all fresh and so are the vegetables.

Had Farmhouse Salad - very nice, fresh but be careful, it is an onion bomb. Also had smoked ham and swiss sandwich, nice, good bread. I would say a cut above Subway and Panerra, and for me equal to Jimmy John in quality, cleanliness, speed and attitude of employees. I think Auggies is better if you want to drive another 10 minutes.

I think we've all been to a Potbelly restaurant, so we know what to expect. This location gets five stars from me because not only is the food simple, consistent, and good, the people they hire are fantastic. The whole crew is always upbeat and friendly and willing to crack a joke or two. When my parents visit from Europe, this is their favorite place to go. My favorite sandwich is the Italian with hot peppers with an IBC root beer. If I'm in the mood, I may even splurge on an Oreo shake.

Renita M.
Speedy, tasty sandwiches. On great bread. Say it with me: turkey and cheese with mustard pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion and hot pepper. And they let me swap out provolone on the turkey sandwich (I'm not a big swiss fan). Friendly service, and prompt attention. Oh, and Stewart's cream soda. Mmmmmm. I resisted the urge to get a milkshake, but they're quality. I don't know for sure where my favoritest sub-type sandwich shop is, but Potbelly is definitely up there.

I'm a huge fan of Potbelly! The first time I went to a Potbelly was during the 2007 rain storm in August where all the trees fell down. My sister and I were walking through downtown with no umbrella in search of a Potbelly because we were told we had to try them before we left Chicago. And boy, was it amazing! Especially those hot peppers. You don't get those here in Vancouver... not those kind anyway. My favorite is the Italian which I took this time around for my meal on my plane back to Vancouver. I'm sure I was the envy of the entire flight. :-D They even gave me hot peppers on the side! As far as a chain goes, this place is way better than a Subway or Quizno. However, I'm sure the small mom & pop sandwich shops are of more superior quality. I just have to find them. Next trip.

I love this place. One time I ate here 3 times in one day. The wreck is the BEST. I can't say much for the service because I am usually salivating over my wreck. You can't find good places like this in sucky RI unless you buy the ingredients and make it at home. I know the cold cuts are all Sysco as well as the bread but it is SO good. I want one right now!

This Potbelly seems to never have a super long line, and the guys always get sandwiches right. From time to time the live music is a bit loud, but otherwise it's exactly on par with every other Potbelly I've been to, which is a testament to their consistency that other fast food vendors aspire to achieve.
