Friendly service. Clean and spacious interior. It was pretty hot inside so I was sweating a bit. I loved the veggie melt! Yummy cheese and lots of mushrooms and avocado. I got lettuce and tomatoes added and the new garlic aioli. Everything was very fresh and tasty. My boyfriend loved the Mediterranean sandwich. Great quality and cute spot in the Printer's Row neighborhood. read more

Good food and good service. Our team loved the sandwiches and I appreciate the staff that accommodated our large order.

food: standard potbelly establishment, one of the better fast sandwich chains service: got pickup, was ready when I got there no complaints ambiance: interior was clean, got to go read more

Have messed my order up the last 4 times I've ordered from here. Always missing items and not getting refunded for it

Not a fan. Cold cuts are nothing special. Okay, I guess, for a sandwich joint. There's much better in Chicago. Service is good, ambience is that of a small but cozy cafeteria. read more

The sandwiches are average, nothing makes them stand out. However, the chicken pot pie soup is "to die for"!!! Nice and savory, it's perfect to warm the insides on a chilly day read more

My go-to place for lunch! Always reliable when i need a quick bite. I always get the BLTA.

I'm from California and stayed in Chicago for a conference. I was situated right across a potbellies and ate there almost everyday. I'm still grieving the fact there are none in Cali I loved the Turkey sandwich with everything including the hot peppers. It's honestly a CRIME we don't have any on the West coast, it's been a month since I was there and I still think about that damn sandwich. Their chili was pretty damn good too. I kept trying to try the Mac and cheese and it was always sold out when I'd go in. Can't wait until I'm back in Chicago again! read more

Potbelly - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Never tried Potbelly, so being next door to our hotel, decided to try it. We were so hungry, forgot to take pics..., but can tell you the AVO Turkey sandwich was great - turkey, avocado, swiss cheese, tomato & mayo on a multigrain bun. The turkey is cut from a breast and not deli. The BLTA was very good as well-blt with avocado. Very efficient process in preparing the sandwiches. Was about 12 people in line, but it went fast. Healthy option for fast food. read more

Potbelly - Potbelly - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I eat at this Potbelly's location weekly, and it has become my favorite lunch place. The staff are consistently super friendly and efficient, the sandwiches and salads are always great, and the fountain drink machine is obviously regularly kept pristine (I drink a lot of fountain drinks, and many other Loop/South Loop restaurants should start following Potbellys' lead). read more

Even if I were desperate, I would not go back here. I live across the street, and have gotten 4 incorrect orders via uber eats. Today, I got a wreck, with only meat, no toppings, no condiments. It even says how I added yellow mustard on the tag, but only got Dijon mustard, which I am ALLERGIC. read more

This Potbelly shop should be shut down. I have never had a worse customer service experience than at this business! I am a loyal customer and order A LOT from Potbelly. I am a constant Potbelly app user and have only had issues with this location with on-time delivery and answering their phones. My last online delivery order was 40 minutes late and they delivered me the wrong food. I have been refunded a total of 5 times from this location due to their terrible service. The manager I have spoken to there is not very friendly, and never apologizes for the late deliveries/delay. I wish the app would stop defaulting to this shop. My current order I placed today I didn't realize went to this shop. I called them 6 times and literally let the phone ring until it cut off. I never received my food. I already sent an email to Corporate about the terrible service. If you have the choice, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS LOCATION. read more

Not quite sure I understand the hype. The sandwich is solid but not particularly spectacular. I had The Wreck and got the large. Not to say I wouldn't be back, but I feel like I won't be going out of my way to do so. read more

I love potbelly, but I recently ate at this location and received pretty terrible service. The woman working rushed us and demanded we pay while I was talking with the other employee making my sandwich regarding the toppings I would like. She also interrupted her coworkers to say rude interjections while I was asking questions/ordering and in general had a very harsh tone with us. I heard her being nice to other patrons, and it seemed fairly obvious that her rudeness was racially motivated. It is extremely unlikely that I will ever support another potbelly after this unfortunate experience. The woman seemed to be a manager. She fanned herself with a purple sparkly fan and was texting at the register for majority of the time we were there while her coworkers were cleaning. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting from SF and he insisted on eating there. I was skeptical in the beginning but it's probably the best sandwich I had tried. Compared to subway their bread is heaven. Tip: you can combine their famous a wreck and meatball, it's called the wrecking ball. read more

Potbelly - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Terrible service. I ordered a VEGETARIAN mediterranean and then got a chicken one. I told them (and they did remake the sandwich which was super nice). I was hoping to get like a bag of chips or something for free (which obviously their right to refuse) but they said no on the grounds that it was my fault for not telling him to make it vegetarian. To be clear, I told him 3 times, even after I saw him put chicken on to confirm that he knew it was vegetarian. And okay let's say it was my fault but to then yell at me about in is just not okay. Workers are super mean, especially the manager. read more

The sandwiches here are pretty awesome. The selection isn't amazing, but unless you are super picky you will find something you like. I hear the shakes are real good, sadly, everytime I go they are finished with shakes. Which is weird, but whatever. It is just a good and quick place to eat. Oh and definitely toast your sandwich. Thats what makes it good. read more

Awful staff. Just the rudest people you'll ever meet. I never will be coming back to this business, and not even because the food is bad. Just sad. read more

The Italian sandwich was delicious. It had a lot of flavor. I had it with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mayo, hot peppers & Italian seasonings. I was going to get the chicken salad b/c people post that picture, but I'm glad I went for Italian instead.. I would get it again & it was so convenient b/c there's literally a location almost every corner of Chi-town lol read more

Potbelly - Big Italian on Wheat - gotta have w/hot peppers - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love cozy sandwich shops. I love Printer's Row. I love Nantucket Nectars. I'm a history buff who likes old print material, and I usually take the train into the city. This Potbelly location is like a vortex of stuff that makes me happy. I can get off at the LaSalle blue line, walk over here, grab a meal, and continue on foot to another destination. The staff is friendly, they have live music on occasion, and yes, this location is one that has breakfast! Not all Potbelly stores serve it or are even open that early. This probably explains why this one always has plenty of OJ in the beverage case. One thing I would like to see different here: cleaner tables. The staff are not as on top of wiping down after customers leave as they should be. On two occasions I have set my book down in a puddle of soup that I didn't see because its color matched the table. Still, it's no worse than at some of the other nearby Potbelly locations, which also tend to be busier and therefore messier. (I'm looking at you, State and Lake Potbelly, with your mayo-coated napkin dispensers and Art Institute Potbelly, with your lettuce explosion chairs.) It's also not as bad as Subway, where I sometimes suspect the tables get cleaned twice a day--once at opening, and again at closing. Bottom line: this is an improvement over many other fast food options in the area. It beats most competitors, too. Get your sandwich here and tell Wabash Subway to eat your dust. read more

The sandwiches here are just ok. The problem with this business is not the food but the works. I've been here a few times already, and find the workers to be rude and unfriendly. I think the company management needs to wake up and smell the coffee and change the hiring and training processes. read more

Awesome sandwiches! For under 5$ you get a good size sandwich, and DANG is it tasty. I had the Italian, the hubby had the Wreck and they were both wonderful. The bread is not too overwhelming, I hate having to fight a piece of bread to get to the good stuff. The veggies, sauce and meat are all high quality and in good portions. The loaded baked potato soup was about $4 for a large portion and it was super creamy and delicious. The staff was nice, service was quick. Potbelly tops any subway, Quiznos or Togo's I have ever been to. I would say besides a real deli sandwich, this is the best you can get. read more

Waited 15 minutes. People behind the counter kept peeking from the service door and hiding in the back. Came out as we were walking out and asked if we wanted to order. No thanks. read more

Service here is pretty bad. It's like they're surprised to find out people are ordering sandwiches there.

Oh great, extra charges for ingredients we didn't even get in our sandwiches. Thanks .

Seeing an employee miss the customer ahead of me ordering a shake with his sandwich and then accusing him of lying about it deserves zero stars. Three stars for the sandwiches we ate though. read more

Good location and quick service- can't usually go wrong with Potbelly when you need a sandwich. My go to is half veggie and half Italian- I was told that everywhere should be able to do half and half and if they say no it is just because the person doesn't want to make it- not because Potbelly doesn't offer that option. This was a good fun fact to discover because only some location actually make a half and half for me. read more

I will keep this review as simple as I can. I know I can get kinda wordy with these things. This is the first time I've ever been in a low-pro sandwich joint and after I was done I went up to the cashier and said, "Wow, that was a delicious sandwich!" To bad they aren't out in Southern, CA. read more

Sometimes you take people that you love for granted. I realized that you can take food that you love for granted as well, when I thought about how some of my favorite fast food (as in "fast food" outside the realm of McDonald's and Co.) places were neglected in my reviews. I thought I should begin with Potbelly, since they have my all time favorite vegetarian sandwich, and I should review the place on Printer's Row, since I worked there for a whole year and miraculously bear no ill will. Well, all I have to say is this: I LOVE YOU, veggie sandwich on wheat (as in "wheat") with extra pickles and giardanera. I just love you. read more

I came in here for a late lunch on Saturday to fortify me for the rest of my errands. I had never been to this location of Potbelly on Printer's Row. The menu was standard- I went with the roast beef original on flatbread- but I felt that that service really put this location over the top. From the order taker, to the person crafting the sandwiches, to the cashier, everyone was across-the-board competent and pleasant. The restaurant itself is laid out nicely, with ample seating. I am sure this location will be a veritable mosh pit next weekend, when Printer's Row comes to town, so I am glad that I had the chance to scope it out and enjoy a bite of lunch before then. Potbelly is always a reliable option and I will make it a point to return here. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a blazingly hot day. I normally gravitate toward the excellent toasted grinder sandwiches whenever I visit one of the Potbelly Sandwich Shops (it's a mini chain, started in the late 1970's on Lincoln near Belden in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood). But it was so blasted hot outside (103 in the shade) all I wanted was a cool salad, a bottle of cold Nantucket Nectars lemonade and a chance to soak up as much air conditioning as I could. I opted for the excellent "farmhouse" salad, a variation on a chef's salad, with lettuce, chicken, bacon, crumbled hard cooked egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and crumbled bleu cheese for extra tanginess. I chose the "Potbelly vinaigrette"--couldn't tell you exactly how this differs from standard vinaigrette, but it was good. The line at the counter was long, as it is at any Potbelly's at lunchtime, but it moved quickly. The salad was assembled in front of me, and not premade, a nice touch. There were enough booths and tables to accomodate the crowd. I didn't see the usual Potbelly second floor seating or an area for live musicians, so this outpost may be slightly smaller than the Lincoln Park or Evanston shops I frequent more often. read more

I always order ahead of time through the app, and the food is always correct and on time. I usually end up eating at the location too. It's a chill vibe in the restaurant and it's clean so it makes a good place to grab a quick bite for lunch. read more

It was 2pm ish and I hadn't eaten all day. It was right next door so I thought I'd check it out. Way cool. for under $7 I got a can of diet coke and on a wheat roll a ham & swiss plus bacon + mushrooms (an extra fiddy cent each) then topped with mustard, hot peppers, diced onions and tomatoes. Simple but awesome. The sandwich artists were very polite, the second one was even like "oh damn dude, that smells good even" and the cashier even after I paid offered and extra bag to hold the sammie and can of coke (I had a backpack on and was gonna hop a cab). A nice solid place for quick and very delicious sammies. I'm a fan :-) read more

Came here for lunch with my husband who raves about this place. Unfortunately, I was not hungry enough for a sandwich so I opted for chili and a cookie instead. The chili was awesome. It was chunky just the way I like it and served at a perfect temperature. Also, I was given a good amount of crackers to put in the chili. The cookie was great as well. It was oatmeal chocolate chip (which is my favorite but is so hard to find!) and it was so good! It was perfectly baked so that it was soft. Only wish they had coffee to eat with the cookie! This is a great place to grab lunch or just a small snack. read more
