The sandwiches and cookies are always fresh and delivery is always fast. I noticed today a 15% tip was automatically added to my bill? Who does that go to? the delivery driver? the sandwich makers? Please add a prompt letting customers know who they are tipping.
Good afternoon Potbelly,
My order below was place on Friday Jan. 3, 2020 for delivery on Monday Jan 6, 2020 @11:30am. IDEA lunch was delivered today at 12:15pm and we requested Garden Vegetable soup (missing). I asked the driver are you sure we have all the soups she said yes. I only ask because we are always missing an item from our order and it seems this store does not care if orders are correct or delivered on time. Other items today were also missing but, I’m...read full review
I really love this place! I actually drive 30 mins from my work just to get the loaded baked potato soup! It's my favorite! Today is the 2nd time I ordered loaded baked potato soup, and got an extra one for tomorrow's lunch, to be so disappointed when I get back to work and find it's not loaded !! The cheese and bacon are what makes it so good! I will definitely be checking my order from not on!! Not happy right now at all!!!!

Potbelly is a sandwich restaurant that offers a variety of meals, including the roast beef sandwich, Italian in wheat/whole grain with everything (but tomatoes), and soups like chili and Mac and cheese soup. Customers appreciate the flavorful roast beef and the Italian sandwich, which is toasted to perfection with the right amount of peppers. The outdoor seating and convenient parking make it a good spot to visit, especially on weekends when it’s easy to walk from nearby shops, the metro, or the Residence Inn. The ambiance is liked, and the location is accessible, though the entrance is not automatic.
Service at Potbelly varies. Some customers received great service, especially from morning crew and managers who went out of their way to help, like quickly resolving an incorrect order. However, online orders often have issues — orders are sometimes wrong, like sliced pickles instead of a full pickle or a sandwich with no meat. There have also been complaints about the oven producing smoke and a lack of management oversight. Restrooms are generally clean, with soap and paper towels, but the busy environment can lead to messy tables and floors.
Overall, Potbelly is praised for its delicious sandwiches and friendly staff, but inconsistent online order accuracy and some management concerns are noted. Customers enjoy the outdoor seating, parking, and its location near Old Town shops, making it a convenient spot for a quick bite.
