Tried Potbelly Sandwich (East Colonial store) for the first time, and it was AWESOME! Service was excellent and patient with us first time boomers. I ordered the Big version of the Prime Beef sandwich thinking I'd take half home for leftovers. Unfortunately the 1st have was so darn delicious, I ate the 2nd half. Yes, I'm uncomfortably full now but due entirely to my lack of discipline . The sandwich shocked me how good it was. We used to love Quizno's toasted subs but they have been long gone. So glad to see a toasted sub place again. The wife ordered same sub - original size, and loved it too. We will definitely be back again and again to try different options. read more

I was excited to see that there's a Potbelly here in the Orlando area. I used to visit Potbelly often when I spent time in Chicago and always enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to trying this location. I stopped in after doing some shopping and placed my order online so it would be ready by the time I finished. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and a Dream Bar. It was after 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. My order was ready ahead of the quoted pickup time, which I appreciated. However, the sandwich didn't quite live up to what I remember. The bread didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and the sandwich was lukewarm instead of warm and toasty like I've experienced at other locations. The Dream Bar was also not quite what I remembered. It didn't have the same richness or taste that made it a favorite for me in the past. I'm not sure if the time of day impacted the quality, but the overall experience just didn't match the Potbelly I remember from Chicago. That said, because I've had great experiences with this brand in the past, I'd be open to giving this location another try.

Potbelly Sandwich Shop - Chicken Bacon Ranch Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Drove by on my way to get a facial one day and immediately knew I wanted to have lunch there. You had me at sandwich shop. i love a good sandwich and i was pleased with the one i got here. I actually got the soup and sandwich combo. Since it was my first time I asked for the most popular items to try and so I ended up getting the Wreck sandwich and the chicken pot pie soup. As a soup lover I feel that was the only thing not getting my 5 star rating but everything else was great. Will i be back?" Yep. read more

I had never been here before. I saw that there was a deal if you purchased an entrée after 3 PM you could get a free kids entrée. Once I got to the register, I had asked the worker about it, he had said my sandwich choice for the kids was not eligible, but he gave it to me anyway because I was not familiar with it. I have got several other sandwiches as well. Honestly, the workers, great attitude and kindness just meant so much so we will definitely be back. read more

I was in the area for a show and decided to give this place a try. I was one of the only customers in there when going in on a Friday around 6:00 p.m. So the service was really quick. I did have to make some alterations to my sandwich and salad but they were able to accommodate me. Personally, I'm not a big fan of toasted sandwiches so if I came back I would definitely ask for it not toasted. I didn't know they toasted all of their sandwiches. The salad was fresh and the portion sizes were good. Inside had a lot of seeding and looked clean. They had unique artwork on the walls. I would say it was worth the money. I definitely need to come back and try their banana pudding shake. read more

This location looks way better than another location I've seen in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful when suggesting menu items. Love the different sandwich sizes. The sandwich was 3/5. It was alright but nothing really stood out with the flavor or quality of the meat or bread. If I'm hungry and in the location I'll consider stopping by, but I won't go out my way to eat here again. read more

Potbelly Sandwich Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Love this sandwich shop chain is popping up around town. Highly recommend downloading the app - there's extra "underground" sandwiches available. The skinny A Wreck is a solid go-to if you want something filling without going overboard and can mix-n-match your toppings to make it even mightier. read more

I've ordered sandwiches a couple times and have not been disappointed. Plenty of parking, seems like many people mobile order so there hasn't been a line when I've been in. Lots of options including tuna fish which so many places are taking off the menu. Sandwiches were made fresh to order and tasted delicious. Next visit I will hopefully remember a picture or 2! read more

Potbelly is a solid choice when you're craving a quick sandwich that still tastes fresh. I ordered A Wreck with the signature hot peppers, and it came out perfectly toasted with plenty of turkey, ham, roast beef, salami and melted Swiss cheese. The peppers added just the right amount of heat without overpowering everything else. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and my order was ready quickly. Definitely save room for one of their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies--they're soft, chewy and one of the best parts of the meal! read more

Potbelly has already taken so much of my money, but in a good way! I have become obsessed with their sandwiches and cookies! And not to mention, their rewards program is phenomenal and you are doing something wrong if you aren't earning either a drink or cookie on every other visit. My favorite sandwich is the turkey with avocado, but I have also enjoyed a meatball sub or club from time to time. I have not tried their milkshakes yet, but look forward to trying them out soon. read more

The Chicken Pot Pie soup was to die for! I ordered to-go but their inside has a charming personality and lots of seating. The Rib sandwich was nothing to complain about, very Philly cheesesteak style which I love. I genuinely really can't wait to come back for their soup again and try some other sandwich's! read more

They're pretty good so far as retail chain sub shops go. I guess they're somewhere near the top of the list not including Wawa or Publix opposite Subway. I really like the bread in all its crispy chewy warm glory and those hot peppers tho! Wowee!! ...the meats, however, tend to blend into the bread and symphony of condiments marginalizing their flavor. While you could double the meat, you shouldn't have to for the money and the sandwich doesn't really need it; just more than what's sufficiently sufficient. That's just the way of it now, though, unlike the way old school sub shops used to feed you. read more

Food is delicious. Restaurant is clean and well kept as well as the bathrooms. Service is very good. Would eat at this location again

Weeknight. 8:45pm. Super quiet. We loved it. Hubs and I are the only patrons in restaurant. In a super huge plaza. Got the Five Below, Starbucks, Hobby lobby. Bunch of stores. Asked one of the guys that worked there what's a hit. He suggested some. We got something for us and a meatball sub to go. Can't comment on that, that one isn't for us. We've heard good things about the meatball sammie though. I had the roast beef on white. Hubs and the Build a Wreck on white also. He killed his sandwich. We got the Italian seasoning on the side as I didn't know if I liked it on the sandwich or not. We also got a garlic aioli on the side as well. Definitely enjoyed that. I even went back and asked for another to go as I couldn't finish my sandwich so I wanted some for lunch tmrw also. All the staff there is so nice, welcoming and understanding. First time there. Definitely won't be the last. The restaurant was decorated for Balentines day. Super cute. The crew that worked tonight definitely knew the menu and knew what to suggest and recommend. Appreciated that. read more

Yuck. Sloppy. Boring. And overpriced for poor quality and portion. Bigger portions turns out not to be the problem cause it like the rest would likely end up in the trash. A coworker ordered a chicken salad sandwich. Sloppy! I ordered a turkey sandwich. Sloppy. Two sandwiches and two cups of soup with sparse toppings cost $53 and worth maybe $11.99 including tax. read more

Have you had the hot peppers?! No?! You're missing out. Then take a jar home. Also, get a milkshake. I'm so glad we finally have a potbelly here! Being from Chicago I have been familiar for ages and there just wasn't one here. The staff were really nice, there were a lot of them! I do love a toasted sub, and I'll take this over Jimmy John's, firehouse or subway any day! read more

The manager was very snappy and rude I would never recommend no one to eat here very prejudice environment

Potbelly is one of those spots I keep coming back to when I want something fast, filling, but a step above typical fast food. I ordered the Mediterranean on multigrain, and it hit the spot. The bread was toasted just right--crispy edges with a soft inside--and the turkey was fresh, not the overly salty kind you sometimes get at sandwich chains. I added their famous hot peppers (a must!) which gave it just the right kick without being overwhelming. On the side, I went with the broccoli cheddar soup. Creamy, flavorful, and not watery at all. It paired perfectly with the sandwich. My friend got the A Wreck, which is their classic loaded sandwich, and it lived up to its reputation--meaty, cheesy, and satisfying. The staff here were friendly and quick even though it was the lunch rush. They kept the line moving, and our food came out hot and fresh in under 10 minutes. The shop itself was clean, with cozy little tables that make it feel more like a café than a sandwich chain. Overall, Potbelly is a solid choice when you want something comforting, quick, and consistently good. I'd give it 5 stars--reliable and tasty. read more

Ahhh, Potbelly! Saw that there was one in Orlando, so this Chicago guy had to make a run. Ordered "The Wreck" and it was exactly what I was looking for... a great sandwich and the comfort of home all in one! I'll be stopping by again soon ( and so should you)! read more

I feel like this place is a fictitious place in a Harry Potter movie or something. It has an old-timey vibe and the decor is a bit odd. The decor is interesting and I was just waiting for a magical creature to appear and offer me wooden nickels for my cookie bag full of lettuce (more on that later). They have a bunch of different sandwiches and I figured I'd start with "A Wreck" which had 4 meats and my choice of toppings. I was disappointed with the amount of meat on the sub based on the description. I was expecting something more gargantuan like, but it was like on layer of each. The sub was good but they forgot to put lettuce on it, so I had to ask for some from the counter, which they put in a bag used for cookies. They also put way too much mayo on the sub. My hands were covered in it... I joined their rewards club before I went in and with my first purchase, I earned a free sandwich. Pretty good deal to start off. I'll probably go back as it's right around the corner from Total Wine! Potbelly Stills go with Potbelly Sandwiches. I may try a meatball with my free sub. read more

I was out shopping and I decided to stop and try this place for a quick lunch. The food was mediocre. They serve Soups, salads and sandwiches. I tried the pick a pair deal and got the steakhouse beef sandwich and a side of chili. The sandwich lacked flavor. For $12 I expected more flavor depth for sure. This sandwich is made with a horseradish aïoli and bleu cheese crumbles however, I never tasted that on my sandwich. It just tasted like blue cheese. The service was great. The person who took my order was patient as I looked over the menu since it was my first time. Same with the cashier they were kind enough to explain to me the perks system and how I would receive a free sandwich on my next visit. The ambiance also was really nice. I really like the way the place was decorated and whoever designed the location did a great job. Plenty of people came in after me and seemed to enjoy their food. So I assume it's just me. I'm going to try this place again only because my next sandwich is free. read more

The Rundown: A neat counter-service sandwich chain with strong, flavorful menu options and friendly staff. The Review: After seeing this chain came to Orlando, I had to give it a go. I enjoy a good sandwich shop - for the flavors and convenience. First impression: I really liked how they set up the interior to fit their "Potbelly stove" theme. It gave a comforting feel, and was a great use of the space without feeling too cluttered. They offered a pretty solid menu, mostly classics (Italian, meatball) but a few twists (like pizza). I did feel the pricing was a bit high, when compared to other sandwich places I've been/in the area. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and service was quick. I'd return, but likely if there's a special or discount. read more

Potbelly Sandwich Shop - Obligatory bathroom photo - Sandwiches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Ok so I will start by saying that my boyfriend used to frequently to this place when he lived in a different state. We visited Colorado recently and saw a Potbelly there. He did NOT stop talking about how he wanted to go; unfortunately, time didn't permit for us to stop by. Fast forward to this weekend. There is now a Potbelly Sandwich Works in Orlando as of a few months ago that he has no idea about, and I just HAD to surprise him with a trip there for lunch. Y'all.. it's my first time eating at this chain, and I will 110% say this blows Pub subs out of the water. He got a Wreck, and I got a Pizza Melt. We got a side of Mac and cheese and also a side of chili. Separate, the sides are average tasting... but we mixed them together, and it was the bomb diggity. It was an extremely silent meal because of how great the sandwiches were haha. PLUS THE STAFF WAS SO SO FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. There is also an "underground menu" on their app that we are going to pick a sandwich from next time :) read more

I had a potbelly sandwich in Washington DC about 10 years ago and was excited to see that the chain has finally marched all the way south to the sunshine state! Everything inside is as fresh and new as the buns. Friendly service too. The chain is known for the "wreck" sandwich, but I love the meatball and pizza subs during our one chilly winter month of January. I went with the pizza melt this visit, and it came loaded with sliced meats, sauce and mushrooms - SO good! Right next to Total Wine, which makes it a great place to grab and go when I'm doing some beer shopping. read more

I just ate lunch at Potbelly Sandwich shop in the colonial Plaza. I've never eaten there before. I went in and the atmosphere was really nice and the place looked very clean. I got up to the counter and I ordered the original prime rib steak sandwich. I didn't order any extra toppings. I ordered it exactly the way it came. And the sandwich did not disappoint. It was delicious! The only disappointing part was with my iced tea. The iced tea was warm, which is normally a good thing because that means it was freshly brewed that morning. The downside was their ice machine was empty so I had to drink my iced tea warm. It was delicious tea . Just disappointing when you were expecting iced tea and it's warm. I asked them if someone could refill the ice machine and I was eventually told that they had to order more ice and it should be delivered soon. I was disappointed, but said that's fine and went back to my table. A couple minutes later one of the girls came from behind the counter and offered me a bottle of cold iced tea. I told her that was not necessary, but she went and got it for me anyway. That was very kind of her! I wish I had gotten her name because she was a very kind and helpful girl. So, all in all, I enjoyed my experience there. I would definitely go back. read more

I've heard about this chain for years. Now we have one in Orlando (which I stumbled on through Yelp - yay Yelp!!). So, obviously, first time in. Some of the attitude and unfamiliarity with products and process among the staff can be overlooked because it's all new for them as well. Things that I notice at almost every fast food place - and I don't consider Potbelly fast food. - were prevalent in the line workers' attitudes. Things like not looking up at you and muttering under their breath, "what's your toppings?" Just felt very McDonalds or Popeye's employees saying, "What's your side." I dislike it in those establishments and hope the disdain for customers it conveys - at least to me - will be eradicated before it takes root. Enough of the negative rankings of an old man. Most was good and I gave the place 5 stars. I could see management was actively training and engaged. The restaurant is clean and boasts a very fun decor. The layout is functional and d easy to navigate from entry to order to payment to food delivery. The food is top notch. Sandwiches come in 3 sizes. Regular was fine for me. I ordered 3 different sandwiches: meatball (pork and beef blend recipe), chicken club made with grilled chicken breast, not deli sliced and the signature "A Wreck" - a glorious blend of meats, cheese and toppings you won't soon forget. The broccoli cheddar soup as well as the loaded baked potato soup were a little bland, but a little added table salt and pepper kicked them right up to great. And the vanilla shake was perfect and is delivered topped with a signature butter cookie that is nostalgic of the simple cookies we who are old enough recall from nap time in nursery school. Home run! read more

I go twice a week! The employees are always welcoming. My food is always ready on time. And the restaurant is always clean and organized.

I am addicted. read more

And their rewards program is awesome. I absolutely recommend. read more

One of the best sandwich shops in Orlando. You can never go wrong with their sandwiches. The ingredients are amazing. Their bread is awesome, and everything in here is just really well put together.

This used to be one of my favorite places, but the quality has declined tremendously. Last time, I tried the prime rib sandwich and the meat texture was really bad and chewy. Today, I had the roast beef and it was the same situation. Couldn't even bite in to the meat it was so stringy. The sandwich looked like it was put together in the dark and very sloppy. Was trying to give a second chance, but I won't be back. read more

Some sandwiches have strong unique flavors like the "Mediterranean", others like the "pizza" and "meatball" sandwiches are better than many other places but not necessarily great. The rest of the menu is sort of blah on flavor. The prices are kind of high. The cookies are ridiculously expensive, $12.50 for six (and that's with a buy 5, get one free deal). Tables have been dirty most of my visits. Employees range from indifferent to reasonably friendly, no terrible customer service as of yet... although the employee that closed the curtains while I am sitting right here less than a foot away from the windows looking out, is a bit rude I guess... especially because the sun has a good 30-60 minutes before it would shine in. Hmmmm read more

I ordered delivery and it came an hour and a half late and with items missing. After calling the store, the guy on the phone said that he would make a note and have his manager call me back to initiate the refund, as the food was not at the right temperature and items were missing. After 4 days I never heard back, so I called again. I spoke with a different woman who is a manager, and she said her boss was still looking into it. And we should wait a couple of more days. I asked if they needed any more info from me to speed up this process, and she said no, he just needs to look into it. I am disappointed as this is very unprofessional. read more

Solid place to get a good sub. I like the customization options. The flavors are always fresh.

It was heated and the blue cheese had melted perfectly. Had a great experience and looking forward to the next trip in to try new items! read more
