Potbelly’s “Clubby” sandwich is a cult classic, and not a lot of stores or employees will make them for you since they don’t actually appear on the menu. That’s not the case today, had the pleasure of dining at the Potbelly’s on King Street, and the employees were friendly, Happy and glad to see you. Walked up, ordered my “Clubby” sandwich and the employee got to work making my order. Within no time I was selecting my toppings and getting my drink and cookie. Before I forget, the bathroom at this particular location was immaculately maintained. I’m talking surgical room level of cleanliness. If you’re looking for a good meal for a low price check them out!

I have never had it before. Everything was very fresh. The meat wasn’t salty. The bread was amazingly good. Just right, soft and crunchy at the same time. The soup was so good(Chicken Pot Pie). The service that I received was something I haven’t had in a while at small stores. The crew that was there when I went, are great!

Very strange..not sure what the attitude problem towards females is. Rude & unfriendly to females. (I wasn’t the only one) However..very friendly, and attentive, to males. I wish she would have asked me what else I wanted on my sandwich..it was dry and the chicken unseasoned. I guess she was having a bad day ….the sandwich girls seem to be kind of angry at this location. I made sure to say ” thank you & have a good day” ( maybe.. help with their attitude towards females who come in?) but, in return, just got the angry eyebrows & silence. Oh well. Was just visiting to have my parents interned at Arlington National Cemetery…… hadn’t been to a Potbelly in a long time.. disappointing location.

This is my first time at a potbelly’s and I thought it was pretty good. The shop was really cute with fun pictures on the walls and stuff. I ordered the mushroom melt which was one of two vegetarian options for sandwiches. It was quite good. The Mac and cheese reminded me of the Panera bread Mac and cheese which is pretty good. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Great place for lunch.

I ordered a sandwich two steakhouse sandwiches regular the sandwich girl was great she also put on the dressings but when I went to pay there was nobody there the cashier was making a milkshake and then she starts yelling her name and the guy is not even there for the milkshake and I’m already waiting six minutes at the cash register mind you it’s packed so I sat down right in front waiting for the cashier past six minutes no cashier first person that comes along she runs to them and Pay For sandwich then the next person To pay for their sandwiches I also waited I didn’t wanna be rude then after the third person I jumped in and told her I’ve been waiting 10 minutes she had to look of a deer in the middle of the road so I didn’t say anything I left I left the sandwiches too I will never go back to potbelly.

Do NOT try to order for a large group. The store is NOT helpful or capable of providing lunch for 20 students!

I ordered online and the order went through twice. I called to speak with them they told me to call the other location to see if it was placed there. I called, no order, so I called back to figure out what was going. That is when I got the pleasure of speaking with Bianca. I’m shocked how a “manager” can speak to customers. The lack in training of how to deal with issues or properly speak to a customer is horrible. I’m out $110 dollars due to the order going through twice and no food. After I requested her name or a form of ID number to report her behavior, she offered to have it delivered. If you order online, watch your account. If you want poor customer service, then feel free to eat here. Tonight I had the pleasure of speaking to an argumentative poorly trained manager, spending 40 minutes disputing the charges with my bank(they handled it), and figuring out food for 5 people. Thank you Bianca for your rude conversation and I do hope you learn how to speak to customers asap.

I come to this location frequently never have i experienced this. But i was there yesterday and got the Chicken Salad on Wheat in Big size. the sandwich was wrapped up when i sat down to eat half of it i ate it. The Second half was still wrapped up i sat down today to eat it and a dead Fly came out of the sandwich. This is so disgusting to the core! I called today and spoke to the Manager who doesn’t have time to credit me what i spent but she offered to make me another sandwich. I am sorry i lost my appetite to eat from there again! I mean this Dead fly literally dropped out of a fully wrapped sandwich with the Lettuce and chicken salad. I would like a full refund please! I don’t have a receipt as i never take the receipt. I have been coming there for years but this was a first and last.

Typically there is great service and I love the sandwiches. I ordered a delivery for postmates for two sandwiches and it took an hour and a half to make and get delivered. The postmates guy was waiting for an hour. I called to ask the status of my order and they claimed they were so busy and the lady on the phone said “I don’t know what you want me to tell you” meanwhile the postmates guy said there was no one in the shop. I am very disappointed with the service and customer service of the lady on the phone.

I used to always come to this potbelly. I usually have good experiences. Tonight I went in, there were 3 young employees. They all stood around for the first few minutes, I figured they were just organizing their section. But soon after, one of them looks at me and says “ I’m not making any more sandwiches, I’m going to wash dishes” the other two just stare at me and continue to whisper amongst themselves. Needless to say I did not order my sandwich, took my business to the broiler!!They don’t need these kids in there running the show without adults. Bad business, horrible attitudes.
