I cant believe i havent written about this place yet!? I've come here before to get a sandwich (obviously) on my lunch break.
I've chosen the first sandwich item (chicken and cheddar cheese, and i added some good ol' bacon, lettuce). The sandwich was fantastic!!!! They have many sandich options/sizes.
I was provided service by the lovely ladies behind the counter (i swear im going to come in and ask for their names just to update this review because they were that freaking nice and wonderful!) . The service was friendly and i felt very welcomed. Thank you Potbelly.
The only reason the review isnt a perfect 5 stars is because i felt that the sandwich is a bit pricey. For the sandwich alone (no fries, drinks, etc.) it still same out to a little over $9.
I don't usually give 5-stars, but the minute I tried Potbelly, it was love. They have a great efficient method of taking your order, too. The first time I came in, a nice lady approached me with a tablet and took my order so all I had to do was tell them the add-ons at the counter. I must admit I always get the Italian and practically everything on it, but you can also get special things like artichoke added for not much more ($.60/special addition) The quality is always on point and tastes delicious. The only nit I've had is too much oil, but honestly it depends who you get making your sub, so that's unfair to judge really. I absolutely love Potbelly and one day I will try out more things, but for now I can't help but coming back for their nice and toasty Italian subs. If you are looking for a solid lunch, ya gotta go here!! YUM!
It's pricey but the grilled chicken & cheddar is really good. You also get to put other toppings on as you wish. They give you brown mustard here, not yellow or an option of yellow as far as I know so be mindful of that. The sandwich & banana smoothie I had were filling without messing up my sensitive constitution. Not sure if they give you cookies on the straws of smoothies & shakes in general or if someone working there just liked the look of me me but that was a nice touch. Glad I finally tried a Potbelly; I'd go to another one.
I've been to a couple of different Potbellies in NYC. For the most part they are consistently good. A cut away above Subway or Blimpie. If there is such a thing anymore. Service is on point, orders are always accurate and the quality is there. Their Cookies n Cream Milkshake is outstanding, I take Milkshakes very seriously. If I'm looking for lunch and there is one in the area it's my first choice. Problem is there are not enough of them in NYC.
Five summers ago, as a lowly intern on Capitol Hill, surrounded by people who casually dropped references to a mysterious place known as the Beltway, homesick for all-black ensembles and a good bagel with a cream cheese to lox ratio of 5:1, I ate at the Foggy Bottom Potbelly's six days out of the week. It was fast, relatively cheap, and they always carried the best variety of Nantucket Nectar's.
I haven't touched a Potbelly sandwich until a few days ago, when I truly realized the error of my ways. The Italian and vegetarian are where it's at … though I'm docking a few points because this one doesn't carry avocado, the butter of the gods. Potbelly's also stands a few inches above other sandwich-makers because they have roasted hot peppers, which truly make a sandwich, even the flatbreads, sing.
Also, the guy making my sandwich had sandwich-making in his soul, because he was the kindest, happiest sandwich-maker I had ever come across. He agreed with me that the lack of avocado was a grievous offense, and automatically toasted my sandwich without my having to ask, so that the bread was extra crusty and the cheese was extra melty. Man working the Potbelly's graveyard shift – I salute you.
Great tasting sandwiches, quick and efficient line, but portions feel a bit small and the prices a bit expensive (thought maybe that's what you get for Midtown rents). Like some of the other reviews are saying, nothing special, just a reliable sandwich.
I would call this a high-end Subway.
They have sandwiches and salads. Not a big selection but good enough. The food is fresh, customized to order, and prices are great for the area.
I had the turkey sandwich and it was to my satisfaction.
They get busy but have a great and organized system to get people in and out.
Great sandwiches as usual. Service was decent, clean spot, wasn't too busy when I came here.
Slow slow service, which wasn't good because I missed my train, but I blame myself for even staying- damn to my stomach.
I would go here, but not when I'm headed to the train.
