Pockets

This was a nice alternative compared to the plethora of fast food chains littering our society. I didn't know of Pockets until I purchased their Groupon Now! deal and so, I was willing to give them a try.

I wasn't really impressed by anything. The environment did not have much going on and the menu was a bit confusing. I ordered a calzone-typed item (hence the name) and waited for about 10-15 minutes. I noticed that they used freshly-baked wheat bread with their fresh ingredients, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the meal and had some leftovers to save for lunch the next day.

In conclusion, I would recommend to anyone who desires a spontaneous lunch option but not as a regular place to go.

I just moved office to be a block away.  When I first ate there, it was just ok, but since it's so close I figure it would become a lunchtime staple.  After today though, I realized that I'm probably not going to go back there.

They have pretty slow service and they got rid of the half salad option, so now you have to pay 8 bucks for a salad that's way too big for lunch and not worth the price.

I think Subway is better and that's not saying a whole lot.

If there were a Pockets near me or my job, I would probably own stock in this company. I could probably eat here daily and not feel guilty...except for the ginormous serving they give you.

I love the Southwest Calzone. Tastes delicious and I do feel better about not hitting up the local fast food joint.

It's inexpensive and if you go there enough you can get a card where they stamp it for every sandwich/salad/calzone you buy. Buy 10, get 1 free. Yeah...that's a lot of visits but free is free.

As a matter of fact, I thoroughly enjoyed my free southwest calzone today!
