We shared the truffle arancini--absolutely delicious. For mains, she ordered the salsiccia (without mushrooms) and really enjoyed it, while I had the artichoke pizza with added anchovies, which was fantastic. I'm usually pretty indifferent toward wood-fired pizza, but I'd definitely come back here again. It feels like this spot doesn't get talked about enough in the downtown Bethesda dining scene. The ambience is great--especially if you can sit outside on a nice day--and the staff is warm and welcoming. Overall, I don't have a single bad thing to say about the food or the experience.

I recently had the chance to stop by French Press while I was in the area, and I had such a…read morepleasant first experience. I ordered a caramel iced latte, and it was delicious, smooth, refreshing, and exactly what I was looking for. But what really made my visit memorable was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly friendly, and we ended up striking up a conversation. During our conversation, we discovered that we're both originally from New York and both small business owners, which made for such a nice and unexpected connection. He was genuinely kind and welcoming, and interactions like that are one of the things I appreciate most about supporting local businesses. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. The space was relaxed and quiet without feeling empty. There were people enjoying their food and drinks, working on their laptops, and simply settling in for a while. It felt like the kind of neighborhood coffee shop where you can grab a great drink, get some work done, have a meeting, or just enjoy some peaceful time to yourself. Great coffee, warm hospitality, and a comfortable environment made this a wonderful find. I'll definitely be stopping back in the next time I'm in the area, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu!

I'd definitely come back and try it again.

They have a cute little special for BCc students that included any sandwich a slice of a pickle chips and a fountain drink for $10.99. I wish that deal was for everyone, but their prices are pretty reasonable lol. I had got a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll and honestly, it was really good. All the ingredients tasted fresh and I really enjoyed that the sandwich came with horseradish on it. I don't see that as much these days so it was really appreciated. I got my food quick but next time I would definitely call ahead so it's ready on pick up. I noticed that they also had cookies, and a whole assortment of bottle drinks if something on the fountain didn't appeal to you. I was kind of disappointed that they didn't have sweet tea. They just had unsweet tea. But overall, definitely a good experience and definitely would go back to try more sandwiches. They have a lot to choose from from sandwiches to salads to wraps and combo specials.

I've been to this location three times. Each time, I've interacted with different team members. The personalities and friendliness of the team there is top notch. I've had some good laughs and conversations with them. The location is always clean, the service is fast, and the sandwiches are tasty! My go to, you ask!??.... "The Wreck!" Make no mistake about it. Thank me later! The sandwich is beastly good!! Loaded with just about every meat and topping, they have to offer. You can go full Monty or scale it down to your liking, but either way it is mad delicious and you can't go wrong with this sandwich. You can't go wrong with this sandwich shop and I recommend!

I've been coming here for years, and it's always a dependable, tasty stop when the hunger pangs strike. My go-to is The Wreck -- loaded up and, of course, with extra hot peppers. It's not just a sandwich; it's a life experience. Every bite feels like it's giving my taste buds a standing ovation... and my sinuses a pep talk. I also love their chili -- hearty, comforting, and exactly what you want on a chilly day (pun absolutely intended). One of my favorite things is the mix-and-match approach here. Half a sandwich, half a salad, whatever combination makes your stomach sing -- they make it happen. I'm partial to a sandwich-and-soup or sandwich-and-chili combo, but honestly, they could hand me a sandwich and a pickle and I'd still be grinning. The Pick-Your-Pair deal is my secret weapon for avoiding food FOMO. I get a little bit of everything without having to choose -- because why should lunch be a time for difficult decisions? I will say, I do miss the days when the rewards program felt, well, more rewarding. You know, something that made loyal customers feel like VIPs instead of "Very Intermittently Pleased." But that's a small gripe compared to all the deliciousness they serve up. A few Potbelly-themed jokes for flavor: Why did The Wreck go to therapy? It had too many layers of emotion. What's Potbelly's favorite band? Bread Zeppelin. My doctor told me to eat more greens... so now I get extra lettuce on my Wreck. Problem solved. Whether I'm craving a sandwich that could make a grown man weep, a bowl of chili that hugs your soul, or a meal combo that lets me have my lunch and eat it too -- this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!

If you are vegetarian do not expect to have a ton of options as meat comes with almost every dish. The waiters are quicker and the food is quicker.

The long, flat top stove is the focal point of the diner and every customer can see his/her order being prepared. The old-timey wooden booths are a throw-back design and solid, refills of hot coffee are done regularly, and you can get your food cooked as you want it. It's old-style service, meaning that it's efficient, straight forward. All I've ever gotten here is breakfast, so can't speak to the lunch and dinner menus. Breakfast is available all day, so love that. I enjoy this place, puts me in a good mood. Last time that I was in (yesterday), the waitress was excellent, attending to our every need. The French toast was spot on, the sausage patties were hearty, and the eggs prepared nicely. The rye toast was lovely and balanced; a lighter rye not dominated by too many caraway seeds and toasted golden. 'Nuff said.

I don't get me started on the two cocktail options, whew. It's all delicious. I need to return for brunch, and I have had some of their entrees way back, but that was their original location in DC. But I love the place and I wish them the most success!
