I see why everyone is giving this Potbelly high star ratings! While I would normally say that Potbellies are a dime a dozen, this location in Terminal B really stands out. Considering that it's pretty small, the staff are really efficient. I had a grilled chicken and cheese flatbread, which I've had loads of times at other locations, but y'all...the chicken was MOIST, the bread was FRESH, and it was HOT! Perhaps I've had too many lackluster Potbelly experiences in the past, but it was actually a really tasty sandwich. I also tried the chicken pot pie soup, which I was pleasantly surprised by. It was a nice consistency and was flavorful. Considering that the other option in B is Starbucks, I know where I'm coming back to the next time I need breakfast over here! read more

Even if you're not at the United Terminal or Southwest Terminal at Dulles International Airport find your way here if you're hungry! You won't be disappointed. Flying to Europe we will pick this airport (even though its old) just so we can eat a sandwich here! Potbelly Pig Works is the best sandwich shop I've ever been to and I'm not even a subway type of girl. We always order a warm Original Italian Sandwich for only $4.50 with Peppers on "regular" bread with all the fixings and we split it. It's just like the Subway shops, you choose the toppings. All I can say is, I love this sandwich! The unique peppers are their speciality and we even had a friend that bought a huge container of them to take home-that's how good they are! I'm not even an Italian sandwich eater-so for me to go on and on about this sandwich is crazy. Every bite is to die for. My husband who eats here all the time when he's in DC would swear to me that I would love this sandwich and OMG he was right! People, it's the only franchise that I would consider buying! I hope VEGAS gets one! We need Potbelly Pig Sandwich Works in Las Vegas please!!!! Other airports where you can find Potbelly Pig: If you're flying into Chicago they have one at Midway-but not O'Hare (is what I remember). They are all over DC and tons in the city of Chicago, Washington (Seattle), Texas (Dallas) and several other midwest states. I heard Arizona, NY, and Massachusetts is the works to get Potbelly soon. read more

Fast service. Low prices. Easy ordering. As someone who's watching her weight, I appreciate the ability to order thin-cut bread. Loved the Pizza Sandwich. A great option in the Dulles Airport. read more

The bf and I were unable to grab dinner before heading to the airport, and when we looked at the places to eat, this jumped out. This is a sandwich place, and it has a good selection. The best part about it was that this is TOTALLY affordable, especially at the airport! A large sandwich for about $8?! That's how much a Mickey D's burger costs, and it's not as nearly filling or satisfying! We got the italian, toasted with the works. It was awesome. Since we had a long wait, we considered getting another sandwich for the trip, but instead we got the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies... GOOD CHOICE! Neither one of us are fans of raisins, so we usually shy away from oatmeal cookies, but with chocolate chips?! Bring it on! These cookies are so good! They are soft and chewy and just YUM! Definitely unexpected at a chain. Will definitely not worry about getting a meal before leaving Dulles ever again! read more

In October 2013, my husband and I stopped at IAD airport on our way to Rome, Italy. We had a 2 hour lay-over before our trans-Atlantic flight, so we grabbed a bite to eat at Potbelly Sandwich Works. It was close to our United Airlines gate. We ordered 2 large sandwiches; can't remember what kind we ordered, but it was very tasty. It reminds me of TOGO's style sandwiches, where it can be toasted and you can pick what items you want inside the 'wich. Prices were reasonable, and lines were not that long. Seating available inside. read more

Hmm... so this is another East Coast chain The sandwiches are pretty decent, but not a whole lot better than Subway in my opinion. Still they get +1 star for having uninflated prices at the airport. read more

It is so rare to find a great airport food join! I tried this place while passing through DC due to Yelp and I am so glad I did. I had a meatball sub that was as good of a sandwich as I have had anywhere. The meatballs were tender, deeply favored and nicely spicy. The sandwich was nicely toasted and came with an amazing jardinera that was simply incredible. If you in Dulles you really should check this gem out! read more

My wife and I popped in for a breakfast bite before our flight. This was our first time at Pot Belly for breakfast. We weren't sure what to expect and at first couldn't even find the breakfast menu. Turns out it is tucked in the corner over by the ordering station. We both selected their bacon and egg sandwich on a bagel. The sandwiches were a little over cooked for my liking but filling for our six hour flight. We regretted not taking up their offer to add sandwich toppings to our meal. In retrospect, our sandwiches would have been much better with some lettuce and a tomato slice (or maybe avocado) on top? read more

Pretty darn good for the airport food. The tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat with the hot pepper spread toasted large for $6 ish is worth the money nothing else compares in this airport! read more

Potbelly - Terminal b and potbellys - Sandwiches Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

See all

This is my 2nd time eating at a Potbelly Sandwich - both times were at an airport. LoL. There's something about a Potbelly sandwich that makes me really happy. Perhaps it's the name or perhaps its just that this airport food is very satisfying to me. How many times have we purchased a quick meal at the airport and regretted eating it? For me, countless times. At some airports (My home airport, San Diego Airport being one of them), I will skip a meal and/or eat a bar instead. This is not the case when I run into a Potbelly Sandwich shop at an airport. My eyes always light up. I ordered the same as last time; Roast beef on wheat with lettuce, tomato, cheese and pickles. So delicious. The bun is soft, small enough where I can easily take a bite into..and very tasty. I like that the bun is soft but flaky enough to give it a little crunch without tearing up the roof of your mouth. It's...perfect. I realize this chain is found outside of airports and all but I'm glad they are there for us travelers. In the two times I've at a Potbelly, I've been very pleased. I'm certainly a fan. read more

I had to fly out of Dulles again tonight but it was a suprisingly smooth experience for once. I pulled into the blue lot and there was an open spot next to the shuttle stop and shuttle passed by a moment later. There was no line at security and I didn't have to use a mobile lounge as I was able to walk to Terminal B. Wow, the universe did not hate me tonight. With all this extra time, I was able to enjoy a leisurely dinner. I recall reading Kevin L.'s Potbelly review recently and thinking, what I wouldn't do for some Potbelly's. Lo and behold, there it was next to my gate. I had my usual Italian (assorted meats and provolone) on white with mayo, oil and Italian Seasonings only - none of that veggie nonsense. What my sandwich lacks in girth is made up in flavor. I had a cup of chili as well which was not as spicy as I hoped but it was enjoyable. And of course I had to have a vanilla shake to top off the meal. If I can borrow the words of Will Ferrell's Frank the Tank in Old School, "When it hits your lips, it's so good!" read more

Dunken Donuts (a 3 minute walk away) appeared to have better breakfast sandwich choices but I elected to eat at potbelly and it worked. You have a choice of flatbread or bagel for the wrapping of whatever egg concoction you choose. It tasted ok but surprised me with a calorie count of 500 that sure didn't feel like I'd eaten 500 calories, but maybe that's because I'd been eating way too many croissants in Europe the last week! read more

normally I would be wary of a place that calls itself "Potbelly Sandwich Works" ("works"?! puh-leeze -- it's got to suck, just because of the corny name!) but this place makes a surprisingly decent sandwich (I like the thin cut bread especially). the prices are great - there is no noticeable airport-inflation (I think $15 for 2 sandwiches, 2 big bottles of water and a giant cookie). You can do a lot worse in an airport. read more

Skip it if possible. Although this is in an airport the food is not impressive. I had a chicken salad and it was not good at all. The chicken was tough, the seasoning was non-existent and I regretted ordering it. No one near me was particularly thrilled with their selection. The beer I got with my meal was cold though. B. Major Grade: D read more

Look, Dulles sucks. Once you accept the fact that Dulles sucks, it will suck less. Having said that, these folks do a very good job. Fresh food, smiling faces, and several great areas to sit and watch the miserable travelers go by (those who have not yet accepted the fact that Dulles sucks.) I had a tuna sandwich and chips and a cookie and while it ain't a five star Manhattan sushi place, it did the trick. If you find yourself trapped in the hellhole that is Dulles, this is an excellent stop for nourishment. read more

Wish they had this place at every airport! Sandwiches, flatbread sandwiches, soups, salads, chips, cookies, and shakes! Fair portion for price, absolutely great flavor, and fast service! read more

Potbelly - A wreck sandwich and orea shake! Great airport food! - Sandwiches Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Another solid performance by a great chain. Subway and Potbelly are occupying two of four chambers of my sandwich place heart. I ended up starting my journey here and getting a Wreck on wheat for breakfast - I mean, nothing else says good morning like a spicy Italian sandwich, no? The line moved fast, prices consistent with what's going on away from the airport, and the breakfast sandwiches actually were cheaper than any other breakfast I'd seen over there. Did I dare to try the chili this time? No, I did on another trip and I don't think my stomach had the fortitude for it this time. But a quick bite here and I was ready to brave the crap Delta Airlines would give me that day! read more

Terminals C&D or notorious for making passengers miserable. It's dark, cramped, and long. On top of that, your food choices are quite limited. Either you settle on fast food or overpriced and mediocre restaurants. This is where Potbelly comes to the rescue. I had a late arriving flight and missed my connection, so United hooked it up with a $10 food voucher. I decided to give Potbelly a chance and was pleasantly surprised. With my voucher, I was able to get a Mediterranean sandwich with chicken, an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and a bottle of water with some left over. The sandwich had a good variety of ingredients that all came together well. Hummus, feta cheese, and roasted peppers all make it a great choice with the chicken. The fact that they toast is is even better. The cookie is fantastic and is definitely worth it. Very light and chunky. I took it all to go and it lasted me through my 6 hr delay at LAX in the evening, so the sandwich keeps well. Service varies. Sandwich makers seem like they don't like their job too much. The guy behind the counter, who seemed like the owner, was very friendly. You don't see that too much at airport establishments any more. read more

Great the bagel sandwich, if you consider you are eating at a chain in the airport this place is 5 stars for sure. Get the hot peppers they are great. Fast and helpful. A solid place for a quick layover. read more

Came by to see if it was open (because it says it opens at 5 am) before running to my flight. Asked the woman at the front table what time they opened and she rudely responded with we're closed. I then asked what time they open and she ignored my question. I asked again and she repeated, we're closed.. I asked one last time, what time do you open and she rudely tells me to check the schedule... potbellys is delicious but that woman was horrendously rude. Shouldn't have a woman like that working there ‍ read more

This is my fav place to get food when i'm in the airport for a lot of reasons: 1) It's one of the cheapest options around and the food is portable--eat now or on the plane later 2) The line here is always shorter than 5 Guys 3) The staff is always super friendly 4) I'm a fan of the Wreck --combined with a strawberry banana shake AND one of their killer oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and I'm good to go. This combo can ease the pain of almost any delay. 'Nuff said. read more

Awful. Gave me walnuts in oatmeal instead of cranberries and oatmeal was runny thin soup. Seemed to not care at all.

Very good sandwich (as always; potbelly never disappoints), and quick service. Best thing - probably the best deal in the airport. Salads here are cheaper than the 3 day old 'grab-n-go' salads at the express places. Also, if you want something other than a breakfast item in the morning (I'm not a fan of eggs) - this place serves lunch items all day. read more

Good sandwich shop. Limited selection. They also offer soups and salad. Very good. Like a subway or similar. They toast all the sandwiches. The conveyor belt sandwich chain moves quick in gym. Reasonable prices. read more

So the sandwich was really good but the service was phenomenal. I ordered my food, thought I had lost my wallet and before I could find that I had only misplaced it, they offered to buy my lunch. What? Who does that? On top of that the entire staff was elated that I actually found my wallet and seemed genuinely concerned about the whole situation. Oh, did I mention the sandwich was really good too. read more

Toasted subs, you pick your bread, you can add toppings. I have had the turkey and Swiss and the roast beef when visiting. "Big" is filling. Cafeteria style. Not a huge amount of seating. Not sure it would be good on a plane after a few hours. $10 with chips and a pop. Airport food. Not a bad sandwich. If it was out in the street this would be a middle of the road place. read more

Nom nom nom! I love these sandwiches, and also love that I can get a decent meal at the airport for around FIVE BUCKS!!! Yay! As with all Potbelly locations, calories for the sandwiches are posted. What you may not know...is that the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie is a whopping 450 calories. That's the same as the turkey sandwich with no mayo! So choose wisely. read more

Airport dining can often be a pain, especially if you are a frequent traveler. You often end up settling for fast food, or simply paying the ridiculously high rates for slightly above average foods like Chili's. Thankfully, there seems to be an influx of more affordable dining options in the past couple years. Potbelly brings decent food to hungry travelers without killing their wallet. Ive been to Potbelly several times in the Minneapolis area and it never disappoints. We had this chain before we had Jimmy Johns or Firehouse, so it was clearly the best option for sandwich shops at that time. It exceeds the taste and quality of Subway by miles--almost to the point where it's unfair to compare. They toast their subs much like they do at Quizno's, but Ive always given the edge to Potbelly in quality and flavor. You get the same quality at the airport that you would in the regular restaurant. It's definitely not a bad option. The roast beef is my favorite and they also make tasty shakes. I do think, however, that the product is somewhat small. If you have a big appetite you may want to consider that. Also, I would definitely avoid buying drinks there because they are pretty pricey as youd expect at the airport. Overall though, if you typically are satisfied with a regular sized sandwich, then this is as good of a deal as you will find at the airport without settling for McDonald's. Pros: Excellent airport value, good quality subs Cons: Beverages are pricey, lines were crazy when I was there, very limited seating in the restaurant read more

Whenever I see one of these listed on a map at an airport, I instantly breathe a sigh of relief. I know I can get fresh flavorful food, and in an airport. The prices aren't far off from regular on the street (though usually drinks are hiked up, but hey, you're inside the TSA maze, you won't be getting much of anything cheap). Not to mention the added humor of ordering a Wreck as you move through the line. So get in line, pick a sandwich, and chow down, because unless you're lucky enough to be flying JAL, this is going to be the last good tasting thing you get for a few hours. read more

I used to go to this shop when I worked in the area. Nothing out of the spectacular but they are very efficient. When you want something to eat you come here and they do it quick! They also invite music artists here playing guitars and singing. The ambiance is definitely very relaxing and it distinguishes itself from other shops (for this reason I rated them high). I enjoy my times here eating and talking with whomever I have the pleasure to dine with. Note that there free parking across the street so its very convenient read more

Excellent sub at excellent price----Very good bread, high quality fillings, and I love the hot pepper mix! Big size feels up almost all hungry travelers for 7 bucks, no wonder its frequented by the airline crews and airport staff. Worth walking 10 minutes away from your gate. read more

Quick service, which made it easy to grab food and catch our flight in time. However, they did not necessarily listen to which vegetables or sauces we wanted on our sandwiches. Unfortunately, we didn't realize this until we were already on the plane! read more

Don't hesitate. Eat here or order a sandwich to take on your flight. The lines for all the other eateries were long, so my friend and I settled for this sandwich shop. I was hopeful when the guy in front of us said that we would love their sandwiches and that he always made it a point to eat at one of their locations when visiting D.C. The staff was efficient and friendly especially given the long lines. Thumbs for the vegetarian, roast beef and peanut butter sandwiches. Grad at least two of the cookies at check-out. One isn't enough! read more

Is this a chain store? I'd never heard of Potbelly coming from Cali but the Italian sandwich here was easily one of the best toasted sandwiches I've ever had. Comparable to Quiznos in terms of layout and target customer but vastly superior in taste. You have two size options: Regular 6" ($5.15) or Bigs 9" ($6.55) and can add extra meat ($0.75), double meat ($2.00), and bacon ($1.25) amongst others. Regardless of what sandwich you select, the hot peppers are an absolute MUST. They make the sandwich. And for you non-spicy eaters, they're really mild - best described as tangy with a sharp kick at the end. If you've added every single extra and are still somehow hungry (or are just bored with a long layover and eat to kill time like me), they have amazing hand-spun ice cream sandwiches ($3.00) and shakes (yet to try but delicious according to the pilot I conversed with). Potbelly is located at the end of the C-D concourse near gate C1. read more

I ordered a Big Wreck. The sandwich was good, but the guy making it kept asking me if I wanted to add extra items to it for an additional charge. No, I don't want mushrooms. No, I don't want bacon. No, I don't want avocado... I told him several times that I just wanted what was already included, but he would not give up. Must be hard up for the extra dollars. read more

Grilled chicken sandwich on wheat with bacon added is perfect. The salad with fruit is as well. To get a good salad with fresh veggies and chicken for under $10 at an airport is amazing. We went with balsamic dressing which is a bit thick but works well with the salad. Grab a sandwich and go have se wine at vino volo. The chicken sandwich bread was toasted perfectly, unlike subway. The bacon add to the chicken and cheddar is a nice addition but definitely have to get the hot peppers on ANYTHING you get from here, they are delicious. read more

Yes, Jake is right. As I depart for faraway lands in terminal B, the familiar smell and taste of Potbelly is comforting. It's just like the ones downtown or in MD or VA-- fast service and even at 6am, fairly friendly people. This place is especially nice when you can resist eating in the terminal and unwrap your sammy at 30,000 feet. Make the other people in your row jealous!! I don't think this Potbelly has salads, but I could be wrong. I never asked. It's more tidy to have a sandwich on a plane anyway. read more

At near Gate D14 at IAD. Just back from Busan Korea, a 13 hour flight from Peking. Nothing like a Potbelly's Italian sub. Nicely toasted, with plenty of meat and vegetables. Just finished it, and I feel good again. read more
