I work here and still eat it everyday. I love these sandwiches. We do not pre portion our meat, we make every sandwich to order and the meat is outstanding! I would highley recomend the wreck if you can't decide

Potbelly Salds. I visited the Potbelly located in the downtown Houston Park Shopping Center for the first time today. I ordered the Veggie Salad, and it is the WORST salad I have ever eaten in my life. Everything in the salad was old and soggy. If I hadn?t been so hungry I would have thrown it away. If I ever eat at Potbelly?s again I will not order a salad.

The best sandwich around! You will be happy you stoped by.. I heard this place made a great sandwich, but I had to try it myself. I always try the tuna salad pretty much everywhere I can. This was the most unusual tuna salad I have ever had. It tasted as if they marinated and grilled a tuna steak then chopped it up with a very light dash of mayo. The flavor was outstanding! I can't wait to have another one. This was definitely did not taste like tuna from a can.

Did not live up to expectations. The sandwiches my wife and I tried were ok but not near the expectation we were led to believe. Bread was ordinary, portions of meat scant, toasted not baked. The best part of the sandwich was the hot peper mix. The cup of Cole Slaw was nothing more than a souffle cup and did not stand out. The dining area is nice but I would rather have had a great sandwich. When we are in Columbus we always make a stop at a place called wg Grinders. There are a few of them also and those oven baked sandwiches are the real deal.

OK food, for a chain.. I thought the voting was for a Chicago place. Potbelly is a chain not a Chicago place. If that were the case isn't Mcdonalds the best because they sell more burgers and sandwiches that anyone else. All those billions and billions can't be wrong.

Potbelly's is usually very crowded and the food is pre-portioned - in other words, the employees pick up a slab o' meat and place it between bread slices. A regular restaraunt will make your sandwich to order from ingredients.
