    Baked potato soup and chicken pot, pie soup
    Tara G.

    I used to order from the Potbelly location in Northern Virginia. Always had a fantastic experience. Four years in Fredericksburg, first time getting food at this location. Ordered for takeout. Got the soup and sandwich combo, with the "Wreck" and a cup of loaded baked potato soup. I also purchased a cup of the chicken pot pie soup. With taxes my total was $16. I literally got one slice of see-through, thin slices of each of the meats on the sandwich. And they didn't even fill up my container for the potato soup. I will never order from this location again. Absolutely pathetic!

    If you have not had potbelly yet, you need to. The sandwiches here are great. They hot food tastes really fresh and if you get the peppers, they have a solid kick. Much better tasting than other chain sandwich shops (i.e., Subway, Quiznos, etc.). This location is no different. Great food.

    $13 for a big Italian these days, expensive, underwhelming, service was incredibly slow, just not the potbelly's I used to appreciate. Generally bland, even their whole pickles are much less enjoyable than they used to be.

    5 Stars all day long. This location is a great one! Let me start by saying I love Potbelly Sandwich Shops. I've been to 2 or 3, and this one is right up there with being great. The workers were attentive right when I walked in. Even the way they took my order I felt like a sandwich professional was handling my sandwich (as odd as that sounds). They made my sandwich quickly, and were very efficient in getting me checked out and ready to eat! Very glad they did because I was hungry... I got the Grilled Chicken and Cheddar. It is my go-to, but I've tried others in the past! I also tried their mesquite bbq chips, which were a-mazing! I can't wait to visit this location more often in the near future! Thanks guys!

    Food was very good but the place just seemed tired! No enthusiasm from the servers and just a drab and out dated interior.

    They close early, don't believe the hours. The staff will refuse to serve before the actual closing time.

The staff here is friendly and this location is central to the errands I need to run in Fredericksburg. If only there was one Stafford... I like that I can make my bowl as healthy as I want.

When I walked in, the young lady serving me was leaning against a table with her gloved hands. She then came over to assist me while carrying on a conversation with another employee who had walked through the swinging doors. During the conversation, she used the same gloved hand to hold the door open. She then proceeded to grab my bowls and serve my food with those same gloves. Afterward, she went to the register and handled my payment without removing or changing her gloves. After I paid, I watched her take her cell phone out of her pocket and scroll on it while still wearing the same gloves. This is a basic food-safety concern. Gloves can become contaminated just as hands can, and they need to be changed frequently, especially after touching doors, personal items, money, or other potentially contaminated surfaces. Hands should also be washed appropriately between glove changes and food-handling tasks. Before handling clean plates or bowls and serving food, she should have put on a fresh pair of gloves, and those gloves should have been removed after handling the bagged food and before moving on to other tasks. I truly enjoy the food and would like to continue supporting the business, which is why I'm bringing this to your attention. Please consider retraining your staff on proper glove use, handwashing, and food-handling procedures. These are fundamental food-safety practices, and I hope this concern is taken seriously.

    While Firebirds is a chain, the food, service and dining experience are all very good and this…read morelocation is no exception. For a steakhouse, the prices are relatively reasonable but by nature it is a bit more expensive than average. The service has been consistently excellent and the staff are friendly. There is a nice bar and some seating in the bar area as well. In the cooler weather the bar area seating enjoys a well placed fireplace. I recommend the double black diamond martini. The steaks, chicken and salmon dishes I have had I enjoyed. I think the NY strip is my favorite and I like to get the port mushrooms and a baked potato as the sides. I tried the Tomahawk pork chop recently and it was delicious and a generous amount of food. Most steak places also know how to properly cook fish and the Salmon is always very good here. The three course meal deal is a good value if you are hungry and the dessert is a full size. My one complaint is that the last two visits, the air conditioning did not seem to be working properly and the restaurant seemed a bit uncomfortable. Please fix your HVAC!

    Came here on a Friday night with a group of friends. It was relatively busy, but definitely not…read moreslammed. First thing we noticed was how incredibly hot it was inside. It genuinely felt like there were some kind of air-conditioning issues happening, which already made sitting through dinner uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the service didn't make the experience any better. Our server, Diego, seemed annoyed from the very beginning. Maybe he was overworked or having a rough night, but he came across as unfriendly and irritated by fairly normal questions. We ordered a good variety for the table, including the deviled eggs, ranch onion rings, meatloaf, penne with steak, and chimichurri shrimp with mashed potatoes. When I asked whether the quinoa that came with a possible dish I was looking at, could be substituted for something else, Diego responded that it was "good for me" and that I should get it. That wasn't what I asked, and the response felt unnecessarily snarky. Then there was the margarita. Why are we putting regular table salt on the rim of a margarita? It may sound like a small detail, but at this price point and level of restaurant, the details matter. It just felt sloppy. The biggest issue, however, was my chimichurri shrimp. After cutting into one, I realized it was raw. Not slightly underdone. Raw. Eventually Diego came back around and I let him know. He took the plate away, but it took roughly another 30 minutes for the replacement shrimp to arrive. By that point, every single person I was dining with had finished their meal. I essentially sat there while my friends ate and then received my food after dinner was already over. What shocked me even more was that the meal wasn't comped. There was no meaningful attempt to make the situation right despite serving raw seafood and then taking another half hour to replace it. Mistakes happen in restaurants. Kitchens get backed up, servers have bad nights, and food occasionally needs to be remade. What separates a good restaurant from a disappointing one is how those mistakes are handled. Serving raw shrimp, leaving a guest without their meal while the rest of the table finishes, and then charging full price as though nothing happened is not good hospitality. Between the uncomfortable heat, dismissive service, questionable attention to detail, raw food, and the way the situation was ultimately handled, this completely put a damper on what was supposed to be a fun Friday night out with friends. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark in too many ways for me to overlook.
