    About a 1-1.5: After running an errand in the area, I noticed that this Potbelly was located literally a block away - I ordered my usual of the Chicken Salad sandwich; unfortunately, they skimp out on the protein and loaded up only on the toppings. Staff are fine - there are seating inside as well as some tables located in the front for those who prefer al fresco dining. Metered parking can be found in the area. +less protein, more toppings +metered parking available

    Decided to try the sandwich and soup combo for lunch. The toast beef and provolone sandwich with the works was great but the pot pie soup was out of this world. Service was friendly and fast, prices reasonably, menu selection good and dine in area nice. Overall, experience was very good.

    Side chip and drink. Delicious

    I had the Roast Beef Steakhouse Beef Sandwich with extra provolone, it was excellent. The service was great. The servers were courteous and professional. They clarified the order and answered questions without appearing to be agitated. The person closing the order did a great job and provided a cup, although small for ice and water. The tables could have been wiped down and I wasn't sure where to throw out trash. Great spot for lunch. They were quick.

    Picked up some takeout this afternoon (10/22/22.) Ordered the avo turkey with provolone cheese plus a roast beef and provolone also. The roast beef was cooked all the way through; which I love and kind of reminded me of a cheesesteak inspired sandwich. I noticed they have lots of variety and also staple sandwiches on their menu . The sandwiches are delicious!! And I absolutely love their store motto: "GOOD VIBES. GREAT SANDWICHES."

    Ordered Avocado Turkey sandwich on multigrain, and one on a flatbread. The flatbread was not toasted, which was surprising because I assume all potbelly sandwiches are toasted. Order was ready on time and I have not had this issue at other locations.

    Great sun shop wit a friendly staff. I ordered the avo Turkey and I added bacon. It was good but after getting halfway through the sub I noticed they didn't put any avocado on it. Outside of that big mess up they would have been 4 stars.

    I'll be honest. I swore off Potbelly ever since I got food poising from them 3 years ago. Today I had a taste for a sandwich and decided to try them again considering this is in a completely different side of DC. I must say I wasn't disappointed! The staff was super nice and although I visited during the busy lunch rush, the staff did a great job of keeping everything moving. They do have tablets to help take orders ahead of you reaching the sandwich making area. The staff working behind the scenes were very fast and accurate. They also had wonderful customer service skills. I was in and out in a flash. They do offer mobile ordering to this is an option for those not wanting to wait. Overall this location probably has changed my mind about Potbelly. I give it a thumbs up!

Honestly we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the burgers are! I had the Capital Burger which had such incredible flavor and the burger itself is thick and juicy. Despite having just had a big dinner somewhere else, as I write this, my mouth is watering. My daughter had the wild mushrooms burger and she loved it -- the aioli had the perfect tang to go with the mushroom and Swiss, both burgers were cooked perfectly medium as requested. The old fashioned was just your typical old fashioned with a slice of candied bacon attached to the outside of the glass.

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.

SweetGreen location is for "pick-up" only. Sweetgreen charged me $19.56 to my card. When I went to the location to retrieve the order, the Manager (a short, Hispanic male) told me that their power had been down, so they hadn't received any orders. Yet, your company charged me $19.56. I asked him to provide me a refund, and he stated he does not know how to do that. He told me that I will need to request a refund through the app or the website. I go to my app and pull up the website from my cell phone and asked him, where do I request a refund? His exact words were, "I DON'T KNOW". I asked him for the number to Corporate or to someone in customer service who does know and can answer questions that he clearly did not know, and his response to me again was. "I DON'T KNOW". I spent 35 minutes of my lunch hour in there with no help, no refund, no food and not knowing how to request assistance for the refund. I left, went back to my office, and logged back into SweetGreen's website, where I placed the order. I logged into my account, only to find that all the contact numbers for SweetGreen were not working or out of service, and they only allow you to chat with AI. I explained in detail with AI. Heitzel R. stated she could assist me further, and after that I sent an additional 5 messages because Heitzel R. stopped responding to me. Then I received a message stating that the chat ended. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? No one was able to assist, and at this point, I'm EXTREMELY FURIOUS, I'm out of $19.56, I didn't get a chance to eat lunch, and my problem has YET to be RESOLVED. I will NEVER in my LIFE order from this place again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I would've given this location ZERO STARS if I could, but unfortunately, Yelp does not allow that.

First off, after navigating to this location I got to the door and didn't realize it's a mobile order only location. It doesn't state that on Google, or Apple Maps! That means you have to scan a QR code on the door, make an account and download the app just to make an order. Very user unfriendly and it took way too long for that whole process. I should at the very least be allowed to order without making an account or from a website but I digress. Or it should have an iPad inside for you to order from like most places do! After that process I got my bowl and it just was not good. The ingredients didn't taste fresh, it just felt like a bowl of slop if I am being honest. I personally don't see myself ordering sweetgreen again for a very long time after this experience. I used to be a big advocate of their bowls but I can't support a location that doesn't even let you order inside at a window or something. I'd say avoid this location and find a different place to eat within DC if you can. It's not worth the time, money or energy for the product you are receiving from my experience.

The curry itself had a wee bit of spice and was a bit sweet - but that could have been from the sweet potatoes. The chicken was served in a bowl on the side, which felt a bit... odd...

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.
