    Where the meat?  They probably forgot it with the mayo and mustard...
    John H.

    The service was very friendly. The food came out fast. Unfortunately they gave me what looked like half a Memphian Sandwich. If I'm not mistaken they used to be full sized sandwiches. There was enough "spring mix" to make a salad on my plate. They forgot to put mayo and mustard. They also forgot to put the meat. The menu states "a lot". See picture to share my shock at their interpretation of "a lot". Being a Sunday afternoon, it was busy. Too busy to go stand back in line for 20 minutes waiting to get this mess fixed while my family finished their meals. Just like the 82nd and Quaker location...this place is not worth the time or money. For approximately the same price you can get twice the food from people that pay attention to what they're doing at Firehouse.

    I was greeted immediately with a smiling face eager to take my order. The establishment is clean and well organized. This is a smaller location of McAlisters Deli with a drive through access. McAlisters Deli does have order ahead as well. I had the BLT+A with potato salad. Very fresh greens and the bread was perfectly toasted. Thank you for a great visit and a convenient location.

    Bread bowl with mold
    Morgan M.

    I've been a McAlisters customer for years now, but this is just disgusting. Mold spots on my bread bowl. It's right on the top so you know they had to notice it as they were wrapping it with the plastic. Lazy and extremely gross, I will not be returning to this location again.

    Picked up our order from McAlister's and it was frowning at us. Last time we're going to this location.

    The customer service sucked, the girl was rude and they didn't even get my order correct. Worst food service ever.

    The orange cranberry club sandwich was awesome (especially with the bacon add-on).

    This may have actually been the most disappointing food I've ever had in Lubbock, I love local…read morerestaurants but this one just isn't it. This isn't to say this is the worst food in existence, but for the price point I can't recommend this place. Let me start by saying this restaurant seems to have a massive variation in the quality of its dishes. I imagine the positive reviews probably ordered some sort of specialty signature dishes as what I got was just reprehensible. Do not order the tomato soup and grilled cheese, don't even consider it. For $9 I got a small cup of soup and HALF of a sandwich, must of been pretty good for the price right?.... I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that when I accidentally burn grilled cheeses at home, they are still better in every category than what I received here. Zero flavor. The tomato soup looked really good, but also had such little flavor that dunking the grilled cheese in it actually made the grilled cheese worse. This meal would've been a tough sell if my 5 year old cousin made it for me when I was sick. My friend also gave their green beans cause they didn't want it... and I can see why, it was also horrifically bland. Also nabbed a few tater tots from the chicken steak and they were super breaded, not bad but not impressive. The "shining" star of the experience was the mulita I got as an appetizer, quite good, like a 3/5 good though, still rather dry and covered in cilantro, came with some sauce, but overall the best thing I had. The decor of the place was just baffling. High ceiling, high chairs, white walls, random TTU alumni adorning the walls, tvs with sports running. Seemingly trying to be a nice place, but the kind of nice place where you can watch the latest football game while having an overpriced beer and the worst grilled cheese of your life. The service I got was fine, on the lower side of quality (especially for the price point). I did like the brown overalls they were wearing, very steampunk. When I saw this place had an overwhelmingly positive reception, I was excited to go there, but this was one of the most disappointing places I've visited in Lubbock which sucks cause it's local. For $20 i got half a grilled cheese, worst than canned soup, and 3 mulitas (which I shared). Maybe to some they would say this was a middling experience, but have some standards for yourself people. I sincerely hope that I just had rotten luck picking the worst item on the menu, and this place is actually quite good, but that's all optimism and no reality. What I got was one star, please fix your grilled cheese. 3/15 (+ brown overalls, + mulita, -everything else) Fails in pretty much every category, I'm sure some dishes are good, but I won't revisit in some futile attempt to find one

    If you love fries, curry and dim lighting, this is the place for u! The service was good! Almost…read moreevery meal includes French fries. Food was definitely flavorful, even a little salty. Overall the food was good. Very different from a usual restaurant!

    At my Sisters suggestion, I finally tried Pot Belly after all these years. Decided to because she…read morehad a Buy One/Get One Free coupon on her "App". It was my time to pay, so I said Why Not. Save me some money. (LOL) Not that impressed. I tried the BLT. Size of the "Sub" style sandwiches are way smaller than Subway, Jason's Deli, and Jimmy Johns. Not impressed with the bread either. Too dank, hard, like stale old bread that's been sitting on the shelf for a while. DRY as patootle. Girl asked if I wanted peppers. Said Yes. Then asked if on the sandwich or on the side. Told her go ahead put them on the sandwich. Didn't really notice what she was doing at the time (Can't really see them making the sandwich behind that 6ft counter), but I could hear her scraping the bottom of the pan with her spoon as she was scooping up peppers for my BLT. I later realized she was scooping up all the trail ends up (seeds, last of the peppers, the CONCENTRATED build up on the bottom) and packed my BLT with the last of what was left in the pan. Guess she did this to get rid of the old to put fresh peppers in the pan. I'll get back to that later. Then we checked out. 2 Sandwiches, 2 .39 cent bags of chips(.39 cents if we were at 7/11), 2 Drinks. After they scanned my Sisters BOGO code, it was $30 something dollars. I looked at the Guy like Uhhh, Buy one, Get one free. Guys said Yes Sir, it's still $30 something. What in the hell?? Sandwiches a 3rd of the size than Subway, at 3 times the price. Never doing that again. Then we get home. I bit into that sandwich. What the living hell. I tasted nothing but PEPPERS. HOT Concentrated PEPPERS at that. That Girl just totally packed ALL that trail ends of that pan onto my sandwich. I love peppers on my sandwiches, but that was ridiculous. I scraped off what I could, but the damage was done. I still ate on it best I could, but the sandwich was absolutely ruined with all that pepper concentrate soaking into the sandwich on the way home. Bad first experience. But, I gave it a try a second time. This time I just had a medical procedure done. Could only eat soft foods the rest of the day. Sister suggested Soups from Pot Belly. Said OK, but NO PEPPERS this time. (LOL) Went through the drive through. Got 1 BOWL Chicken Pot Pie, 1 CUP of Potato. Close to $15. Kinda though $15 was high for soup, but you usually get a LOT of soup when ordering at restaurants, so I didn't think much of it. Didn't look in sack either on the way home. Boy was that a RIP OFF. The "CUP" is about the size of 1/2 a can of Campbell concentrate soup. The "BOWL" is almost the size of a can of Campbell ready to eat soup. I paid $15 for the same amount of canned Soup I could have gotten at United for around $3. I don't see myself going to Pot Belly ever again. I don't get the "APP" Generation that are paying these prices for such little food. Their APP gets them all sorts of rewards, but come on, is it really worth it to be spending $300 on Pot Belly's APP for $7 worth of rewards? No it is not. The APP Generation that is keeping Pot Belly in business just do not get this.

    Used to be one of my favorite sandwich places. But recently the service is terrible and the app…read moredoes not work. I've placed two orders on the app, was given a message (I will attach a picture) after that I NEVER RECEIVED AN EMAIL with any details. Really ruins your 30 minute lunch break when you order, leave work, go to the shop you placed an order at and they say there is no order under your name. I won't be going back. Potbelly, fix your issues.
