Potbelly is always a reliable place to get a good soup and sandwich. I usually get their Italian, but I tried their Chicken Club this time. While I missed my deli meat, the chicken club did not disappoint. The chicken was seasoned well and was elevated by the bacon topping. read more

Whenever Im feeling like having a cheat day , Potbellys is my go to. Currently their SW AVO chicken wrap is my favorite. Grilled chicken with provolone and avocado with all the trimmings. They also have delicious $7.99 deals.. of all the places that does milkshake they my favorite. I love the mini cookie that goes with it. They do make good cookies. I do like their roast beef subs, and their skinny chicken subs too. My only gripe, is I wish they could make Reubens or carry pastrami. Service is always great. read more

Have eaten a couple of times at this chain, with this being my first visit to this location. Enjoyed my ham and Swiss on multi grain roll. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was reasonably priced. read more

Had another BOGO coupon and maybe should have stayed away this time. Got the Mediterranean chicken and Prime Rib steak and both were just OK. The steak sub didn't have much meat at all, but had decent flavor, mostly due to the garlic aioli. The chicken one was really bland. As much as I love hummus and feta, this barely registered. I'm kinda done with Potbelly read more

I like their milkshakes; so yummy! Chocolate, vanilla, oreo cream; . Flower cookie on top makes me _______. Price kept low, so come and taste. Nom nom slurp! read more

This is a review for catering: IF YOU NEED A LARGE CATERING ORDER, DO NOT HESITATE IN ORDERING FROM THIS LOCATION.!!!! I have ordered from here 2x for company events and both times, my orders have been delivered on TIME, all items packaged WELL, as well as orders being CORRECT. And, most importantly, being SO GOOD! It's always left me wanting a PB sandwich for dinner after having it for lunch!! Both times, Potbelly employees delivering the food have been kind, attentive, and did i mention on time? Thank you to the Rio location for easing my anxiety with these company events and being a huge hand in why they run so smoothly. read more

I ordered a salad. Most of the lettuce was brown, the avocado was brown, the tomatoes looked like raisins. Disgusting. Never coming back

Main reason for bad reviews is their customer service , everyone rushing us to choose, worst part about this place was one of the staff members was sweating so hard that it was dripping from his neck head face and hat down on his shirt, it dripped to my sandwich and salad, so unprofessional, I think he was on training with the other staff and she could see but didn't even say anything, he cleaned his forehead all wet and discussing then with the same gloves fixed my salad. I wasted 100 dollars money yesterday ,Food is okay however they didn't ask if I wanted jalapeño or not, we bought 4 sandwiches all super spicy , I have not eaten my salad due to dirty staff I don't recommend this place at all read more

Potbelly Sandwich Shop - disappointing - Sandwiches Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Food is great BUT last night was a disaster. Had about 5 employees working and apparently a lot of to go/online orders. I ordered then waiting. My salad was made without asking me what dressing or if I like it the way it comes. My sandwich sat on the belt with other sandwiches piling up on top. Then I had to wait at least 10 minutes at the cashier. Could have just left and no one would have noticed as all they were focusing on was the online orders. Many customers waiting. You can't let those order take over your walk in customers. The food was great, experience this Time was terrible. read more

I ordered online to pick up lunch to drop off to my partner at work. Loaded Baked Potato (Cup), $3.69, plus Mediterranean Salad $8.28, No Chicken, No Meal Deal, Feta, Egg, Cucumbers, Croutons, Italian Seasoning, Potbelly Vinaigrette. Unfriendly manager in a blue polo. I walk in, get no "hi," no "hello," no "how are you?" I mean basic courtesies. I learned that at age 15 at my first job at a bakery. Nah, he just stares at me as I approach the counter. I tell him I'm here to pick up an order I placed online. He gruffly tells me that it's in the pickup area and doesn't clarify where that is. No "thank you," no "have a nice day," nothing. Asking him for extra vinaigrette seemed like a bother to him too. I get that life sucks now with COVID-19 causing so much disruptions in our lives, but his bad mood shouldn't transfer to me. Hope for his sake he has better days. If I don't feel welcome at a place, I do not care to come back. I won't come back to this location. RIO area has tons of restaurants where my business can be better appreciated. read more

I have been coming to this potbellies for many years and I've always had great customer service, but not today. Today my boyfriend and I went into this store and were greeted by this very nice young woman with long hair who I did not catch her name (SHE WAS GREAT). She made both of our sandwiches immediately while her two coworkers a boy and a girl with red hair stood in the corner and yapped the whole time. I asked for an Oreo shake the same time I ordered my sandwich. The nice girl who took our order asked her two coworkers to make it while she did our sandwiches. We were the only ones in line with maybe 3 other people eating in the establishment. Once our sandwiches were made by the same nice young lady, the two individuals still had not made my milkshake as they were still talking about their outside of work problems. They didn't start making it until after we had paid. I sat there for probably three minutes, watching them talk while she very slowly made my shake (she couldn't multitask). She then proceeded to continue to talk with my completed, shake, sitting next to her without handing it to me, completely oblivious to the fact that I was standing there waiting. The nice young woman noticed I had been waiting for a while and went to check on my milkshake. When she realized the shake was just sitting there done while the other two individuals just kept talking she mentioned to them "Hey this girl is waiting" The girl with the red hair replied "sorry" and the nice girl said "Don't apologize to me. apologize to her". Which, in fact, they did not apologize they just gave me this look like I was the problem. I just shook my head and walked out. The sandwiches made by the nice women were great. I wish I had caught her name! The date that we were there was 6/8/2025 at around 6:15pm. Hopefully the two that were very useless will get a talking to and the sweet girl who made the sandwiches doesn't have to be scheduled on a shift with them again as she seemed to be doing all of the work! read more

My husband and I were in the area. I had never tried this chain before, but he had been to a Baltimore location. I ordered the chicken club, and he got the prime rib. Very tasty and fresh. I also got the dream bar for dessert so delicious. The staff was friendly and professional. The eating area was clean. Overall, a great experience. Great job! read more

Why wouldn't u put everything u claim that comes on my sandwich actually on my sandwich? So my wife is annoyed her food isn't what they said. All bread no meat .. I should've just asked for a roll with some sauce on it. 3 workers no personality. No assistance no recommendations. 0/10 would not recommend . read more

I stopped by and ordered a original sub meal that comes with chips/drink and a purchased cup of soup. Total is 18.00$! Yes I was shocked. By the way, they didn't even fill my soup up to the top. The staff looks miserable to be there. I am not coming back. Firehouse tastes way better! 5.00$ bowl of soup not worth... read more

This has to be my go to spot for a good wholesome deli sub sandwich. Located right off the Rio center by the lake with curb side parking. A great place to grab and go. Every time I come here, I seem to always get the 'Wreck' sandwich with everything on it. And if you love a little spice in your sandwich, their brand of peppers will do the trick. Add a side of their fresh baked chocolate chip and Zapp's BBQ chips and you got yourself a delicious meal. read more

I haven't had Potbelly since I moved here from Minnesota. I didn't feel like going out and decided to order. THEY HAVE FREE DELIVERY!! I forgot how good the sandwiches are. I was craving an Italian and a frozen custard, but they revamped the menu a while ago. No more custard. I decided to settle for an Italian and an Oreo shake. My boyfriend got soup and the Wreck (not pictured because he devoured it in .2 seconds). The Italian is as delicious as I remembered, always add HOTS! The soup was creamy, thick, and flavorful. You definitely need to order their massive pickles - fully of crunchy sourness. The delivery was fast so the bread was still warm, shake was still frozen, and soup was hot. read more

Food was great as always. Today had a wonderful experience with the employees that were working. I had an issue that was my fault with my mobile order and they helped me out without hesitation. read more

The staff are miserable. Either it's too much pot, or not enough; or maybe the pot's of a poor quality. Either way their pot needs tirated appropriately. read more

Chicken "SOGGY" Salad with a side of attitude! The rudeness and attitude from the staff after 8pm on a Monday is poor . The entire staff was rude and gave 0 customer service . The girl who made my sandwich literally PLOPPED IT TOGETHER!!! Never again !!! Hello subway !! Hello Chipotle JUST NOT POTBELLY ‼‼ Very upset with this location I expected better customer service ! YUCK!! read more

Tuna melt did not taste like tuna melt. It was cold and so salty...couldn't even taste the melted cheese....ugh. read more

The staff here are friendly. I typically order in app for pickup and my order is always ready or being made as I come in. I have ordered the catering here before and it was all fresh and ready at the promised time. My go to order is the apple walnut salad and you have to get an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! read more

I love eating at Potbelly! I usually order online (they save may previous orders, which is helpful since I like to re-order the same sandwich), but you can also order by fax or of course on site :) They have three sandwich sizes, which is great, because you don't have to over eat: Skinny. Regular, and Biggie. I really like their sandwiches, but the one time I tried their salad, it was awful. The lettuce was wilted, the chicken was unappealing, and the worst part was that it contained bacon! I specifically asked for no bacon, but there were more then just a few pieces of it. BP and I had to throw it away after we found the bacon for religious reasons. On the positive side, their cookies are delectable and I love their shakes. There's nothing like having a cone from Potbelly while walking down the Rio Boardwalk. They also have live music at nights. read more

Clean place with friendly service. Apple Walnut salad was fresh & loaded with extras. Roast beef sandwich was tasty. Good prices. Good location. This place was recommended, so the recommendation is passed along! read more

Great sandwiches, delicious milkshakes and cookies to die for, oh the cookies!! MY kids love the sugar cookies and I love the chocolate brownie cookie. Wish they had french fries! I only wish they would have a few more interesting and less standard sandwich options. The hot peppers on the sandwiches are a great addition if you like a little heat. read more

Potbelly Sandwich Shop - The most delish cookie ever!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I ordered my salad, soup and strawberry milkshake on Potbelly's website at 7:47 pm tonight. The meal arrived at 8:55 pm after I received numerous notices that it would arrive at 8:20. . Although I did receive my salad and soup, I did NOT receive my strawberry milkshake. The website says to call the store directly for problems with your order, so I did. The store manager yelled at me, told me he was too busy to deal with me and then hung up on me. He hung up at my request to be emailed confirmation that I would receive a refund. Instead of being apologetic and accommodating, he yelled at me about how busy he was. . This is NOT how you treat a customer who spent her money at your establishment and did not get the item she paid for. This is not how you treat customers!! Horrible experience!! read more

One of my favorite sandwich spots. They're quick and have some of the higher quality sandwich ingredients in the area. It's also right by the lake and has a great location. The service here has always been satisfactory. read more

Thank you For my deliciously prepared turkey sub served hot with chips-and soup. Was hearty and tasty. Even brought one home to eat later. read more

This is a nice place to grab a sandwich, located right on the boardwalk of the Rio lake. It's kinda expensive for a simple sandwich and the employees never look happy to be there, but the sandwiches are tasty and filling and always ready at the store when I order ahead. I did have an incident at this store where I received a chicken salad sandwich with no chicken salad - literally just bread and mustard. Not sure how their system is set up to allow that mistake to even occur, but they fixed it quickly when I brought it back. read more

Great service, fast, friendly, exactly what you want from your friendly neighborhood Potbelly.

I haven't been to this location in a while but the only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because of my experience at lunch the other day. I understand that lunch rush gets hectic but you need a better system. They had someone taking the orders which is good but they messed up my order. The guy in front of me never placed his order with her so it took longer for me to move along with the line because he had to order his food. They also forgot my coworker's order so she had to cut in line and remind them for it. To top everything off, my sandwich was not put well together. It looked rushed and the hummus was all over the place. I need to try the new location in the Gaithersburg Square. Hopefully I'll have better luck there! read more

I like Potbelly. The staff here is friendly, albeit hurried. There is a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps and salads; Each could use more meat but like every other sub place they seem to keep prices lower by not actually using much meat. The drink prices are too high. Good cookies and shakes. It can be loud. read more

I've been to this Potbelly a couple of times. The sandwiches are delicious especially A Wreck, but really all the sandwiches are quite good. They have Zapps potato chips, which is one of my favorites. I always get the BBQ ones. Additionally, their cookies are huge & incredible. One noteworthy occurrence was a friend meeting me for lunch in Jan. 2017, who told me that her job had fired her for having one wine during her lunch break. Days later, she passed out from drinking way too much for her birthday. It seems she doesn't drink as much in 2018-19. I will always associate this location with her drinking and consider it a viable option for lunch or dinner while at Rio. read more

The chili does not taste like real chili. The taste is similar to the beef from chef boy r dee which I'm very familiar with because I used to eat chef boy r dee growing up. The sandwiches are ok read more

I ate here because I have eaten at different Potbelly restaurants in Chicago many times. Like all past times, I was not disappointed. The quality of the food is good, and the staff was pleasant and geared towards getting you served quickly. You get a second to look over the menu, and then you must give your order to someone that is prepping the meat, cheese, and bread to go through the toaster. Then on the other side of the toaster is someone taking your topping order that is behind a counter too tall to see what's what. Finally you take your sandwich from them and to the cash register where you pay for the sandwich, and any drink or chips you might have picked up along the way. I got the roast beef original with everything on it, and powered through eating the whole thing. I had my own drink from Starbucks down the street, but got these popped chips that were quite fantastic. Never had those before... In any case, It's always a good experience to go to a Potbelly. Even the one in the Airport in Chicago is good. If you are looking for a sandwich, then consider going here. read more

Hit them at 1p with an order for 10 sandwiches. They were quick, food quality was superb. Warm sandwiches were done right. The only issue was that the drink cabinet was in the middle of the food ordering process - and we didn't think to check the fountain machine selection before getting in line. It made it tricky to figure out drinks. Otherwise, everything was great. read more
