Crappy service. The guy claimed they closed at 9 instead of 10, then proceeded to make sandwiches worse than subway.

Potbelly is a great choice when you want a sandwich with a little more flare than Subway. We always get the Wreck: salami, roast beef, ham, turkey and one of their salads. The sandwich is toasted and there are a variety of toppings. As a warning: if you get all the toppings (we usually do) or just like a lot of the toppings, the sandwich can get VERY WET. We are huge fans of sauce but the combo of mayo, mustard, and oil can be too much. So one tip is to ask for less of whatever you want. The salads are hearty and we usually get the cobb. As a warning, the tomatoes are pretty smushy quality and every time I get the salad, I pick out the tomatoes even though I normally love tomatoes. They also have soft cookies by the register and they are actually a great way to finish lunch. The employees working there are very pleasant and the line moves quickly because they are very well staffed.

I never get particularly excited about Potbelly. I'm not sure if it's just that I grew up on other sandwich chains or I've been ordering the wrong things...but I am starting to like it more each time I go. And I'll keep going anyway because pickings in Charles Village are so slim. The most recent I ordered was the roast turkey with swiss. So far it has been my best pick at this place....but I think next time I'll try the wreck because that's what my boyfriend got and it looked great.

I ordered a "big size" Chicken Salad sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and hot peppers. I've had this before, and I do enjoy eating here. I'd choose it over Quiznos and definitely over Subway. It's just as nice as the Potbelly on Pratt Street. It was a little crowded at lunchtime so we were stuck next to the restroom and the blaring speakers which were blasting bad 70's music! The sandwich wasn't quite as good as it was other times. The bread was over-toasted and ended up being hard. The chicken salad was fresh and wasn't too rich. The toppings were fine - the pickles gave it a nice crunch and the hot peppers gave it a little bite. I had a can of Pepsi with it, making for a good, albeit heavy lunch. The prices are reasonable and in-line with its restaurant category. Although I didn't have one this time, I highly recommend the milkshakes!

For some reason this place is never crowded. Its a chain. Its nothing fancy or amazing. As far as chains go, its pretty decent and reasonably priced. I nearly always order a wreck with nearly everything on it. Its always perfect. Great selection of salads or sandwiches. They also carry soup, which is CLUTCH in the winter months. If you're still eating at subway, go ahead and upgrade yourself. I love this place; I can get a sandwich a drink, chips and cookies then use the wifi to study or surf the same way I would in starbucks without having to deal with the crowds or noise level.

Potbelly is alright but service was damn awful at this one. The server was rude as hell (shouted at a customer to close the door, was visibly annoyed when I said I'd be ordering 4 sandwiches). Cherry on top was when I got back and opened the take-out bag only to find that he had screwed up our orders.

I've been craving a meatball sub an this is one of the few restaurants that have it on the menu. The multigrain bread is good. the meatball sub could have had more marinara sauce. the regular size was perfect - not too big, not too small. Most importantly I was in & out with my hot sub in hand in well under 10 minutes and there were even 3 people ahead of me. Great speedy service on my lunch break is key! I'll be back for sure! Food - tasty & good quality for the price Service - pleasant and speedy Location - clean and convenient on St. Paul Street main drag Parking- free if you park on 32nd st, bring a quarter if you park on St Paul just in case the meter maids are out

This Potbelly is pretty much the same as all of the ones I've been to in D.C., with one exception; I have NEVER seen a line in here, ever. As a matter of fact, I've never even seen it terribly busy in here, not like in Chipotle down the street. Now, I don't know if people consider that good or bad as a rule - for me, I love it because I don't have to dodge idiots while I'm trying to enjoy a relaxing lunch. If you like quiet atmosphere, this place will serve you just fine. Prices are pretty good. I had a chicken salad salad (without the cranberries) and there was a fair amount of food for a tiny amount of money. I was good and filled up after it was said and done - again, not out of the ordinary for a Potbelly. Definitely recommended. The salads are particularly delicious (chicken salad salad and Farmhouse are the best ones). Tip for Diabetics: The salads (mostly) are A-OK here. Some things you may want to leave off, such as dried cranberries for the chicken salad, unless you can handle them. The sandwiches are another story - unless you get a "Skinny" you're probably pushing it on the carbs. As always..... Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. YMMV. Seek medical advice and tailor my review to your situation. I simply provide opinion.

Lately, when I have been at work, I have stopped on through. Since its by Hopkins, you will find lots of college folk there hanging. Metered street parking; although, I have yet to pay, I just park, grab my food and go. Love the sandwiches, I think they are made great, my favorite is the wreck... The staff are always pleasant and I have yet to wait in a long line. I know I'm going back!

Staff is nice, menu is simple, sandwiches aren't bad. Everything is simple and cheap. Reminds me of a slightly better version of subway.

I just went back to visit Baltimore and was surprised to see that the Charles Village area is slowly upgrading. It's strong competition for the favorite Uni Market, and most definitely an upgrade from the Subway down the street. I had the Wreck, which was delicious and the "Big" size is decently filling. The toasted bread and warm meat made it very easy to eat. I asked for pickles, and I guess the waitress heard me wrong, so she gave me a whole pickle, quartered. Seating is a bit tight inside, but enough space. Definitely not for a romantic evening though. The menu is very visible and as you move down the line, you can easily see which toppings and condiments you can choose from. It's a really nice sandwich shop for a collegetown. Since it is new, I hope they always keep the quality as if they just opened.

This place is ok I just wish they had a little more variety in the sandwich choices. I like the idea of toasting the bread. This is a quick bite to eat type of place.

This joint is my first introduction to Potbelly and color me impressed! Prices are solid ($5.30 per large sandwich) and the portions hefty. I've been there a few times now and my favorite sandwich is the Italian. It has a great dollar/calorie ratio if you're cheap and enjoy stuffing your face like I do. They don't have many toppings and options, but that's not a big deal. They do have the essentials and the hot peppers really hit the spot. When you have a craving, get something sweet too. You can get a large shake or smoothie for about 3 bucks too. I've only gotten the smoothie (which uses froyo) but I've heard good things about the shakes (they use ice cream) too. The people who work here are really nice. Like, irrationally so. As a new place, they face many customers who have no idea what to get. Employees are patient and helpful. Beyond the employees, Potbelly does have some nice charm too. There may be a corporate and calculated effort to produce a certain vibe, but I don't care. It works. I can't help but compare this to the Subway half a block away. Potbelly has a little less variety and is a bit less healthy (depending on what you get), but it tastes a bit higher quality and wholesome even with a good price tag. Check it out.

The service at this potbelly store is great. Fast and friendly every time I go there and I've been going here since it opened. If you've never had Potbelly and you're trying to decide which sandwich to get... get the Wreck!

Oh, my God! This place is absolutely AMAZING! I've loved Potbelly's since I lived in Chicago, but this location in particular is by far, THE BEST. They greet you from the door with an enthusiastic, "hello!", the line moves quickly, the sandwich makers are attentive, the food is simple but done well, and everyone seems to really want to be there to make your experience as great as possible. I know, I know, it's just a sandwich shop, but it's a welcomed gem among the drab eateries that line Saint Paul. It just opened up so they're working out the kinks with the staff, and getting into a groove, but that's to be expected. And I might add, that it's smoothing out nicely and quickly!

This place is just a subway with a "quirky" atmosphere tagged onto the price. Mediterranean sandwich made me gag
