I've never been to a potbelly's before and decided to go one day. when I got inside I got immediately greeted with a smile. since this was my first time here it took me a while to order. Ethan the manager made it really easy to pick a good sandwich. the manager spoke nicely to his team and the customers. when I finally order and paid, the service was pretty fast. I got my sandwich and it was very delicious. the food and service were excellent and I would definitely come back again. read more

They come with chili, cheese, olives, jalapeños, tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado. The soups are ok just a bit water down for my taste, the baked potato soup is ok and not that many potatoes in them. The chicken and dumplings has good flavor but again not that many dumplings. The grilled chicken sandwich is ok but but need a bit more seasoning for my taste. The best salad that is on point is the southwest chicken salad, and their house dressing.

I've always noticed that the size* of the (probably pre-manufactured ) pizzas vary sometimes and…read moretoday I might have found out why-- Today is Thursday, the special day where you save $1.51 on the pizzas ($6.99 vs 8.50 regular price). I believe* they are using smaller pizzas on Thursday to make up for the smaller 'sales' price, which would be underhanded and misleading. I picked up my pizza, opened the box and immediately noticed a smaller than usual pizza size..... maybe 1-2 cm smaller. I believe it should be the same size no matter what day, deal, coupon, etc. IMO. Can Buona or anyone else explain to me how this *isn't false advertising, similar to Subway footlong BS, Walmart Black Friday deals, etc? It just shows dishonesty and lack of decency towards the customers which makes me think hard about going back. I smell a class-action lawsuit if the right people (not me personally) get ahold of this information. Please do better Buona, because I know you can. (I didn't think to take picture before I started eating it, but attached is a pic of what's left when I realized what's probably going on. You can probably imagine a whole pizza and wonder why the box is so big compared to the pizza. They have people to figure out ideal box size to reduce packaging costs).

This has an interesting look - nice and open, a variety of tables, comfortable seats. Good stuff. We looked at the menus to the right as we walked in, and kind of figured out what we wanted. While we waited, we saw their video which shows the various levels of "moisture" you can have for your sandwich, which was very helpful. A regular sandwich is 6" and a large is 9" - we both went with the regular with hot Giardiniera peppers. My wife chose hers with the "easy gravy" option, while I went "The Chicago Way" with the ends dipped. The sandwiches came out fresh and hot. The beef was nicely done, well cut (no gristle) and melted in your mouth. The Hot Giardiniera was HOT as advertised (which is why I ordered a small fry to help soften that later.
