Potbellys is awesome!!! Best subs around. Will search them out. Great, hot sandwiches, nice staff.

The last 3-4 times I placed an online order, it was never placed on the pickup shelf or ready on time. I'm confused because I always showed up at least 5 minutes after the pickup time too. Why are these employees always late? Once I got back home, I started eating my sandwich and noticed it was too spicy. They put jalapenos in my sandwich instead of using the hot pepper ranch DRESSING. Your employees are super incompetent. This is my last time ordering here. read more

Order Uber for their bbq sandwich and soup and it is now my favorite combination. The chicken pot pie soup was creamy, lots of protein and vegetable and perfect size. I wish it did comes with crackers next time. Delivered right on time for lunch too so service was great! read more

Potbelly - Chicken Pot Pie Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Great experience. The manager bin something is really nice and helps customers out a lot. I would highly recommend going to this location. Maria is also very sweet and does a great job making your sandwiches. read more

Potbelly used to be good before COVID. Lately, we haven't enjoyed their sandwiches anymore. Either too dry, too mushy, bland. it seems like Potbelly has lost it's drive to make a good sandwich. read more

Hot peppers are a must! Potbelly's is now using the LevelUp rewards app, which is an added plus. I usually get an original Wreck with no mayo on white bread and lots of hot peppers... Oh, and did I mention: extra hot peppers? A cup of chili is also a great side item, for the extra hungry folks! read more

Came back today. Ordered ahead, using the online order system. When I arrive to pick up my order, there is only one employee sitting there and he hasn't even checked the ticket box. My order is hanging there, infilled, while he relaxes. Then it gets worse. Another customer walks in. This one employee serves him before he starts my call ahead order. Unreal. I am still sitting here waiting for my order. There is no management nor customer service in this store. I asked the employee if there is any benefit to ordering ahead. He smirked and says "not really". Nice. read more

What is going on with this place? I am admittedly remiss for not reviewing this place for the last few years because I've been coming here for lunch for a while. And during that time I'd probably have rated it reasonably ok. Yet here we are... I remembered to check in recently when I went there and I've had such a high frequency of not-ideal interactions at this place that it warrants some cautions. 1) Check your food. I've ordered online for salad several times and come in, picked it up (it was ready on time!) only to find in one instance there was no dressing. In another instance there were no eggs (there were supposed to be eggs). What gives with the randomly missing things all of a sudden? 2) I apparently can no longer order a Wreck Salad from my app. So I'd started coming in and ordering it in line. That worked until last week. All of a sudden nobody knows what a wreck salad is anymore. And it no longer costs $8.something, it now costs $12.something and rings up as a chicken salad salad? Admittedly all of this may be my fault because I've been ordering nothing but a Wreck Salad for 20 years from Potbelly, but I'd rather get a "oh, sorry we don't do that anymore" than the randomness that has been my recent experiences. Do or do not. (you know the next line) read more

This was one of my favorites Potbelly location, too bad the manager of the store the way he gave me my sandwich at the register, literally he threw it on top of the tray, if you a have problem with different races I understand or if your ex cheated on you with a guy who has my skin color, get over it and respect the food that you're selling or serving. read more

Potbelly - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I was a regular at this location but their incompetence and horrible customer service has taken its toll on me. I have had my order messed up so many times and I never complained, I just sucked it up and dealt with it. However, last week I finally had enough of my sandwich not having anything on it when I got home and eating two pieces of dry bread, so I called to complain. The manager or assistant manager (not sure at this point) 'scott' is very nice and he apologized and I understood that he would be taking care of my order the next time I was in, which is bi weekly for a tuna sandwich, pizza sandwich and a smoothie. I got to the store the next time and of course Scott wasn't there. The other manager, I think his name is 'Joe', was extremely rude and condescending to me and argued that only one sandwich was to be given for free. I told him both sandwiches were messed up last time and he continued to argue with me saying that everything is pre measured and portioned out. RUDE. He ended up giving me both sandwiches after being extremely annoying and awful but still made me pay for my smoothie. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will never return here and this guy 'Joe' or whatever his name is should not be a manager in the service industry. And please train your incompetent employees to 'measure and portion' out the food correctly. read more

This place is a cut above most other franchise sandwich joints. They have a nice selection of healthy sandwiches. They have the 'skinny' and the 'biggy' so you get a low cal choice. This place is an upscaled subway and little more pricey. The buggy turkey is great. Plus you get the option of a couple of different soups. Not bad for a quick lunch. Now and then, this location has live acoustic during lunch. read more

So disappointed at the service I received from Manager Mario today. I tried ordering a combo meal deal advertised on their chalkboard and was told by manager Mario that the deal no longer exists. I asked him to honor it because it is still being advertised in their store. Mario told me no that he could not do that and he would not do that. After going back-and-forth with Mario ( which should have NEVER happened) over a total of about $.30 difference he decided to give it to me for free. I am not pleased that Mario was not more professional and chose to handle this simple situation this way. Mario needs a new job with less responsibility and less customer interaction. I know it's hard to find good help but please do better Potbelly. read more

Potbellys catering is the WORST. This is not the first time that they have screwed up. Katie is supposively the manager, and she is awful. I called when my order was supposed to be delivered and they told me any minute now. I called 20 minutes later, and she couldn't get in touch with the driver. When I asked HOW LONG??? She said "I don't know." Apparently she is the highest you can go in Potbellys which is such a shame. I am still waiting for an order I have tried to get delivered 30 minutes ago. Stay far away from this horrible catering company. They are awful and not worth it. And Katie - man, learn some customer service skills. read more

Very weird experience. Went there with hubs second time and it was completely empty again. The taller guy with longer hair was behind the counter making everything while the guy with glasses with sweeping. We asked how he was doing and he said rudely two more hours and I'm off finally. WTH! We were a little taken back with the rude tune. Then we were ordering 4 of the same sandwich with one different. He kept repeating it over and over with more confusion. The only difference was the bread. Then I think he realized how awkward he was making it and rude he was and was trying to make small talk. When he got over to toppings he just didn't seem into making anything. I get it you may be having an awful day and I'm sorry but do you have to take it out on your customers. I worked in the industry in college I get it. But please don't do the sighs. It was uncomfortable. Then we finally got to pay which seemed like eternity and he messed it up too. I do feel bad and I do love potbelly. He did wish us a good night. I do hope he gets better training or over his bad day. read more

This place just opened last month or so, and the food is just great. It is very healthy eating at a pretty affordable price. I got an italian sandwich on whole wheat and a "wreck" salad, as well as an ice-cream sandwich (I had to order the ice-cream sandwich after reading the rave review of this item elsewhere) I thought it'd be good portion as the sandwich and salad are both sub-$5 item... But I was wrong... the salad is a full size salad (MEAL size salad), and the sandwich is an 8-inch long thing, with full of good stuff. They were not cheap in filling it up. After the sandwich (I ate it first because it's warm and toasty), I had to put the salad in the fridge and ice-cream sandwich in the freezer. Before putting away the ice-cream sandwich, my temptation got the better of me and I took a bit of it... yum! the ice-cream they use is those traditional ice-cream, so it's creamy and smooth... I had the salad and ice-cream sandwich for dinner, and they are just as good. Definitely my new cafeteria. read more

Great food and awesome delivery service, soup was still hot! Driver sent notification and was very professional

Sandwich = Good. Service = Sucks. Have you had a cashier/server blatantly avoid talking to you? It's quite an awkward experience. I ordered online, picked up at the front. She processed my payment, handed me my sandwich without saying a word and walked away. Problem was, I also ordered a milkshake and was truly confused. She went to the back, came back, avoided eye-contact, made my shake, then handed it to the wrong person. She grabbed it back, then handed to me, walking away again without saying a single word. Sandwich tasted good, however. read more

For a chain, this is one place that I can get enough of. I mean, it's like wheat-bread-crack for me. Seriously. Of course my office mate continually picks the stuff up for me so I can comment about the food in this review. This time, I acted on Miriam's question and ended up getting the meatball sandwich. Now keeping with the tradition of meatball sandwiches, I didn't get anything on it other than just meat, cheese, and sauce. However, this one came out rather dry and bland without any exceptional flavors. I have to say, the wreck will always get my check! The chili here wasn't as good as the one in Crystal City - it lacked any tang. I mean, it was still hearty and will always remain a solid choice in my book. I liked the fact that the store clerk was lazy and didn't bother to pluck the bags apart so I ended up with two pouches of oyster crackers - always a soup garnish for me. Overall, I've docked the joint a star since the meatball sandwich wasn't anything special. Maybe next time I'll ask for extra sauce to make sure there is a bit of moisture in the gut-bomb and also get some hot sauce in my chili - but that would require me to be there. On a side note, I have eaten a wreck from this place before - always a good thing to get! read more

Potbelly epiphany realized today. Now serving BIG sandwiches. I believe the guy behind the counter said it was NINE INCHES of pure sandwich bliss - or - 30% more for the propeller heads out there. For one whole extra dollar. Sold. Pretty amazing what a few extra inches will do to a sandwich. I could swear they include more meat as well. Maybe it was my imagination. Or the swine flu getting to me. Bah. I assume since Potbelly is a franchise this is a global ploy to increase our waistline and lighten our wallets. I hope so. read more

Great place to stop by for a quick workday lunch. Lines are generally long because of the large workforce around here, but it moves decently well. Staff is efficient and friendly. The dining space is generally enough but can get tough at peak hours. My friend actually plays guitar/sings here at lunch hours on occasion, so it's not a bad location at all. I haven't branched out too much into their menu, since I usually get The Wreck with everything except mayo. So good. read more

Ah the wreck sandwich was what I really needed to help me feel better from last night's NYE festivities. This potbelly location was nice and spacious. Everyone was accommodating. The wreck has to be one of my favorite sandwiches here. It's packed full of flavor and I always get it all the way with the chili!! mmmMMm good. Also, I just get the original size (6in I believe). I've tried the Fairfax location and it was alright :/ pretty disappointing. I also like the turkey sandwiches, but I found the turkey breast sandwich at potbelly wasn't that great. Hmm... I don't know, I just stick to the wreck. You can never go wrong with that. Pizza sandwich was pretty good too. read more

Second time I've come here and it's been closed early. Expect them to close at least 15 mins earlier than they're supposed to.

Great Food Great People. Get the Chicken pot pie soup ... its soooo good! I usually get a the wreck it Italian with avocado ... they also have underground sandwiches too... ask them about the them when you order. Lucky seven 7. read more

Not sure if they had these in California where I live now but enjoyed potbelly when I did live in the Herndon VA area. It is different than most sandwich shops they have some very unique styles and tastes. There's also another one in Sterling Virginia that's really good. Potbelly isn't necessarily the healthiest place however It definitely tasted amazing. read more

Your typical Potbelly's, the food was good and the location was clean. Seeing as they are a chain you know what you are getting, this location does a good job of moving the line through and keeping the tables clean. read more

Potbelly is great and the portions are just right but you do wish you had more of the good sandwich like today I had the Mediterranean Chicken.. yum! Love that sandwich! The Peanut Butter and Jelly, Wreck, Chicken Salad are all great! The shakes are great and just right too.... and cookies??? YUM I would have to agree it does get busy during the lunch time but the lines do move great... and hey you can also order/pay online... gotta love convenience. read more

Nearly got asked to leave the last time, but that was on us for trying to remake a picture we had taken 7 years earlier. All was cool after explanations. Really wish they could keep the same staff here. They do a good job of making sandwiches but it seems like we always have someone new on the register. Not going to grade down for that though. Quality is always good. read more

Seriously, I HAD to give mad props. I eat Potbelly on occasion and every time I go... I order the same sandwich. Today, I had THE BEST POTBELLY SANDWICH EVER. Giovanni is the sandwich man at this location; if you want that thing done right - he's the dude! Mad props. No other Potbelly sandwich artist has even come close to comparing. Give this guy a raise!!! read more

First time coming to this Potbelly, and it was a great experience! I was very indecisive about what I wanted to eat but alas I narrowed it down to a salad. Michael helped me decide which one and it was a great choice! He was very kind and helpful. Everyone was friendly. Best Potbelly I've ever been too! Thanks guys! read more

Great sandwiches as always. However that location has a management amd customer service problem. Wait I'm line was very long and the attitude of the workers wasn't positive. Definitely not up to Mr Hastings's standards! read more

Potbelly sandwiches are above average as far as $6 sandwiches are concerned. This location is a great spot to grab lunch. The parking is a bit of a PITA to deal with during lunch, but once you get inside they are very organized and operate at great efficiency to get you back out of the door and back to work. Potbelly's chicken salad is a step above the rest: always tastes freshly made every time. read more

Disappointed to say that I was very unimpressed with the customer service at this location. Eye rolling and a bad attitude had me never wanting to come back to this location. read more

Good service and fast service. Not that expensive. Good for the wallet. Quick and efficient. A great place to just get lunch with friends or family read more

This is a review of the chain at large, but I am posting it here to support my local/home Potbelly store. Best. Sandwich Shop. Ever. Let me first clarify that normally I am not a hot sandwich kinda guy. It's just not my thing. Potbelly requires every sandwich be warm/toasted, so you'd think this would be a turnoff for me. Instead, it's given me an epiphany. Does a BIG Smoked Ham with my favorite toppings come in at a whopping 889 calories for lunch? Yes it does. Do I care? Absolutely not. The price is unbeatable -- the large-sized sandwich is like $5.50 (a normal is under $5!). It is WAY more filling than Subway/Quizno's effort. $5 Footlongs just would never cut it anymore. The only type of place that even registers on the same wavelength as Potbelly for subs/hoagies/sandwiches/whatever you want to call them -- would be those little local delis that exist in like every town in the greater Philadelphia/South Jersey area. You know the type of place I mean if you've ever lived there. They know sandwiches, and you get a boatload of food for minimal amounts of money. Oh! And live music during lunch hour? Who cares if the performer is mediocre? It's still really cool and adds to the ambiance of the place. That's how Potbelly works, and to be a chain? Amazing. There will never be a greater sandwich chain. read more

I really enjoy this place. The sandwiches are great, the services is great and the establishment is clean. A few coworkers and I went in there a few weeks ago and they had a girl playing guitar. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear her very well over the busy lunch crowd. Their uptown salad was tasty. I love the dressing they use. read more

I totally screwed up!! I places the order thru the app and didn't check the closing time. I walk in just as they're closing up. The manager Omar takes control of the situation and gathered our order up for us super quick! He was the real mvp tonight!!!! read more

OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE, The sandwiches are made to order with what ever you'd like. It's not like any subway or quiznos. The sandwiches are always fresh and tasty. I always get extra mustard and pickles on the side. They have this really good mustard, i don't know how to describe it but yummy. Well pretty much everything I've had has been so far so good. The little macaroni salad, the chili with cheese and onions very hearty and good, the salads are always awesome. All and all a great choice. read more

I'm a big potbelly fan but the customer service at this location is horrible I was disappointed by the attitude of the manager.

Potbelly's makes a damn fine sandwich. My standard order is: A Wreck on wheat no cheese. Pickles Hot Peppers Mustard Italian Seasoning Tomato Lettuce And an Orangina to drink. The bread is really good, the sandwich is really good, the peppers actually pack a little bit of heat, and the price is right. Sandwiches are about $4, which is really pretty fantastic for this area. Oh, and the cookie! They have THE BEST oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in the area hands down. Be sure to get one. If you can get them right out of the oven, get two! They do not have a huge selection of food, and pretty much only do sandwiches. They have salads too, but I can't comment on them. If you want a low priced but delicious sandwich and a cookie made of crack, give Potbelly's a try. The herndon location is less noisy and busy than the Sunset Hills location. The food is exactly the same. read more

Two stars (instead of one) because the sandwiches are good and unlike those of any other chain, but this restaurant location loses three stars. I used to go here regularly; earlier this year I went and there was entirely new staff and I almost wrote a negative review, but decided to give them another chance. I just returned (same time of day as usual) and it's a yet another staff. The prices have gone up and the sandwich was smaller than usual - not a good value at all. The staff was new and not well organized - perhaps they will get their act together, but for the indefinite future I won't be returning to this location. read more
