  1. Tried the grilled chicken cheddar…and you got to get the hot peppers!  Delicious, quick service around lunch… i came about 12pm.  if I could just be a little nit picky I would say, I wish they spread the toppings out a bit more so I can get chicken, hot peppers, lettuce, etc in every bite… towards the end I tasted all my hot peppers at once….

  2. Potbelly is a Chicago-based sandwich shop, but a national chain with locations across the country and even Europe & the Middle East of all places, lol.

    And although I've been to several locations here in NYC, I might like the Financial District location the best because of the space and it's usually less crowded than the other locations.

    My Rating is really 3.5-Stars, but I rounded up for a variety of reasons:

    1. They're fast, so if there's a line, it moves quick
    2. They scoop bread from the roll if you want less
    3. They toast the sandwich so it's warm & crispy
    4. The space is big with a lot of tables to sit at
    5. The cookies are excellent
    6. The prices are relatively cheap

    If I want a cold, more basic sandwich (turkey, ham, roast beef, etc), then I usually go to Jersey Mike's across the street, but if I want a warm, toasted sandwich, then I come to Potbelly where I get the grilled chicken & cheddar, which I think is very, very good.

    So, if you want a higher quality, warm, toasted sandwich, served fast and relatively inexpensive, come to Potbelly, it's perfect for that.

  3. 3.5 stars. Came here to grab lunch during the work day after receiving a "Buy one get one free" coupon. Tried the Italian sandwich, which was surprisingly really good for such a fast casual place! Definitely add the hot peppers to your sandwich-gives it a good kick. The coupon also advertised a "birthday special," which we claimed for one of our friends. The staff was quite confused about this but in the end turned out the special was a cookie. Staff was super nice and good-natured about everything!

  4. I love Potbelly in general. I was first introduced to it in my hometown (Chicago).  I came into this location on Monday afternoon. I ordered a Wreck on flatbread, but this time, added an oreo milkshake to my order.

    I was a little skeptical at first, since milkshakes can sometimes be a little too milky. But I was desperate. It was a little hot, and I had a sore throat that could not be tamed. So I wanted to try drinking sometime cold to sooth it.

    The wreck was amazing, but the milkshake was BOMB. for only $3.50 you get a really thick milkshake that came with little shortbread cookies around the straw. It was such a great experience. I want one now, so bad, but I am really trying to cut down on the junk.

    Oh well. Maybe next week 🙂

  5. I was afraid that the sandwiches here would resemble those of Subway (yuck!), but I actually really enjoyed my pizza sandwich! I am a fan of the combination of sausage, mushrooms, melted cheese, warm toasted bread and a ton of other ingredients – super flavorful! If you're one to enjoy an extra kick of spice, be sure to ask for red peppers. Normally I don't like eating sandwiches on a cool winter day, but this hot sandwich was just the amount of heartiness that I needed. The portions are also just right for lunch. I am not in a post-lunch food coma, nor did I create a huge mess while eating a hot sandwich at my desk. For less than $7, this was a solid deal for lunch!

  6. Low-quality, high-price, small-portions. Just about everything is about what you'd expect from a forgettable place like Subway, only slightly "better" but a lot more expensive and everything is smaller. When PISILLO is nearby, where every single ingredient is fantastic, and the portions are gigantic, I'll never return to Potbelly's — I was disappointed different three times — but their pickled peppers (with celery & carrots) are pretty tasty (and available separately).

  7. My go-to place whenever I don't feel like paying $9ish for Jersey Mike's for an Italian sub. It became a huge turn off for me after the one incident where they gave me multigrain rather than regular. Didn't think multigrain would be such an impact that I haven't  been back in awhile.. However, the pickles are great over here! I would always order a pickle on the side.

  8. I WISH POTBELLY EXISTED IN QUEENS.

    'Twould give Subway a run for its money.

    My favorite part about eating sammiches from here is the fact that everything doesn't fall out after I try to take a bite. Prettttty satisfying and filling, all for ~$6.
