Pros: Food, Quality, Price
Cons: Some Unhealthy Choices, Poetry Nights
Summary: As I sometimes get annoyed at high school students, who can eat all day and not gain a pound, I've learned that your metabolism quickly changes once you hit your thirties. Thankfully growing older is inevitable, but growing up isn't. My spare tire that's ... read more

Pros: Reasonable sandwiches with reasonable prices and a LOT of taste!
Cons: They're phasing out COFFEE?! CAFFEINE MAN MAD!!!
Summary: Potbelly Sandwich Works is the oddest thing I've ever seen in my fast food lifetime. It is also one of, if not my absolute, unquestioned favorite fast food joint. In a world populated with fast food places which taste only a little bit different and look ... read more

Pros: Cheap, quick sandwiches; yummy shakes with mini-cookies.
Cons: I wish they wouldn't toast everything that wasn't nailed down.
Summary: As much as I complain about chain restaurants, they’re not all bad. In fact, there are some regional ones that I wish were more widespread, so I could binge on their food year-round instead of having to travel across several states to get to ... read more

Pros: Great Food and Great Atmosphere
Cons: Nothing Really!

Pros: yummy sandwiches, plus live entertainment at an extremely reasonable price
Cons: limited menu
Summary: I love the Potbelly Sandwich Works restaurant. They offer a limited variety of sandwiches. I have tried the Italian one and the turkey one. I think they have about 5 or 6 choices, and the ones I have had I liked very much. You stand in line to order ... read more

Pros: Freshly made delicious sandwiches and ice cream creations at a modest price.
Cons: Sometimes the live music is a good thing, sometimes it's irritating.
Summary: My lunch buddies and I tend to be somewhat predictable and redundant when selecting our restaurant choices. If we want hamburgers, we go to one place, Chinese food, another place, pizza, another place, etc. But, for some reason, when it came to ... read more

Pros: The warm sandwiches are almost enough to win me over. It's still fast food.
Cons: It's still fast food, possibly not the greatest ingredients in the world
Summary: When Potbelly Sandwich Works began to open restaurants like mad in Washington, D.C. last spring, I was mystified. I had never heard of this California based chain and wondered what all the fuss was about. Fuss? Well, the usual puff pieces in ... read more

Pros: efficient, delicious, open till 11pm in many locations
Cons: crowded, can be long lines
Summary: Imagine this- you're chowing down on a warm, toasted sub made just the way you like it. Instead of doing takeout, you decide to sit down in the restaurant at one of the wooden tables to take in the decor, the people walking by on the street, and the ... read more

Pros: Gotta get it hot! Tons of toppings; great desserts and shakes too.
Cons: Long lines; limited seating.
Summary: That is not a title I throw around lightly. When a friend of mine heard that I had never had a Potbelly sandwich, she immediately insisted, "we're going there for lunch." So there we waited out in the street in a line that I thought would never move. ... read more

Cons: Overcrowded; limited to the Chicago area.

Pros: Wonderfully fresh inexpensive subs
Cons: Always a line, but it's not that bad.
Summary: First, the total meal could cost only $6.00! Now - Picture a snazzy 20’s style atmosphere, antiques abound, wacky guitar songs serenading you from a tattered velvet couch high above the bench where you eat. (The musician, dressed in a tux--no ... read more

Pros: Warm subs; clean stores; friendly staff
Cons: Small portions; long lines not worth the wait
Summary: Potbelly is springing up all over the city. But they don't offer much that you can't get at other sandwich shops - sure they are hot but others offer that too. I find the portions to be small. The lines are often long so if I see the long line at the
