Potbelly Sandwich Works

Okay, this is the second best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life! After Earl's, but it is close! Also, there are a lot of these everywhere in Chicago, even at Midway Airport.

I ordered the "skinny" turkey sandwich. I was not expecting it to be amazing nor did I have an appetite because I am usually not a huge fan of sandwiches. Omg, I love how wrong I was about it not being amazing! You choose what sandwich you want and what you want in it. Hot peppers are a MUST!! The sandwich did not take long to make or wait for, and I also got a huge pickle for only a dollar! The sandwich was seriously amazing, those hot peppers were definitely a great addition to the sandwich.

The staff were really nice and friendly. They were also patient while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to order. Glad to have come here, and now that I am back in LA, I miss it now.

If you're in the city and need a fast sandwich or salad on the go, Potbelly is a place to visit. As a west coast kid here on business, I came to Potbelly with my fellow coworker. Walking inside you see a fast moving line with a waitress waiting to take you order so they can make it and get you on your way. It puts Subway to shame if you ask me! The menu's on the wall and it's pretty plain jane.

For sandwiches, you have a choice between white and wheat bread, and then you have your add-ons such as lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, mayo, or mustard. The types of sandwiches range from italian, meatball, or roast beef. I opted for the chicken salad since I didn't want to be over done and full for lunch. I got it with tomatoes and mustard. It wasn't the best sandwich, but it wasn't the worst. The chicken salad was dry, but the tomatoes and mustard helped it out a bit. The toasted wheat bread I put it on was rather tasty alone. If I had to re-order, I probably would of went for a salad. That looked more refreshing and appetizing then the sandwiches for some reason.

2.5/3 Stars in my book.

Clean restaurant- very standard for Potbellys.  Friendly and helpful staff during our visit.

The food:
Chicken salad sandwich- dry added mayo on side and it was better, but I've definitely had better
Wreck sandwhich- my husband declared this the best sandwhich he ever ate, but I didn't taste it, so I can't confirm his feelings.
We ordered a regular fountain drink, and there are free refills, so if you are dining in, there is no reason to order the large drink.
