This was my $18 sandwich.
Doug N.

1-Star Review -- Potbelly Sandwich Shop (Dulles Airport, Concourse A) In 53 years, I have never written a bad review. But I genuinely feel a moral and legal obligation to share this experience, because what happened was beyond unacceptable. I approached the Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Dulles Airport (1 Saarinen) and immediately encountered what can only be described as the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Three employees stood together talking and completely ignored me. I walked to what looked like the order area -- no signage anywhere -- past a young man who was the only one actually working. When I finally asked for help, one of the employees snapped at me, in a harsh and dismissive tone, "Do you want to order? Then you need to go back there and order." No greeting. No assistance. Just attitude. I ordered the Avo Turkey. The key word here being "Avo." They handed my sandwich off to the toppings employee, who then asked me what toppings I wanted, even though the ingredients were clearly stated on the menu. Then the same rude employee asked, "What did you get?" as if she had paid zero attention to the entire process. That's when it hit me -- they were charging me for the avocado without putting any avocado on the sandwich. When I pointed it out, she begrudgingly unwrapped the sandwich and slapped some on, then reassembled it like she was angry I caught the mistake. I'm sorry, but this felt like a slap in the face to me, to Potbelly Corporate, to their shareholders, to Dulles Airport, and honestly to the entire city of Washington, D.C. This ruined my day and my 6-hour flight. It was like watching an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head -- except those two would have provided far better customer service, and at least they're entertaining. Do better, Potbelly. Much better.

The bread's just okay, but the overall sandwich flavor is good. It's not the spot if you're looking for a really satisfying, "wow" kind of sandwich, but it works great for a quick, balanced meal when you're on the go.

I am a big fan of Potbelly. Whenever I see them around, they become one of my top choices of fast food places to go. I like grilled and hot sandwiches, not a big fan of cold cuts or sandwiches that are served cold. Here they prepare your sandwich, the way you like it and then it goes through the toaster over conveyor belt, making the entire sandwich, hot and toasty.... Then they place whatever toppings you want. I got the grilled chicken and cheddar and it was yummy.... Lots of table in front of the restaurant to sit down and eat.

I know their specialty are sandwiches and they are good, but you need to try their soups! I ordered the Broccoli Cheddar soup. Omgggg it was delicious. Perfect in flavor and not salty at all. Was glad I ordered that. Can't wait to try other soup choices!

Bacon egg and cheese sandwhich

Service was really fast and got my order in so I can pay and run to my flight. Price is fairly reasonable considering the airport pricing. But overall food was great and filling before in flight snacks. Workers were nice as well so that's a plus for sure.

Probably the best value for money in the terminal. Efficient well made sandwiches. The original was plenty. Big if you are ravenous. Will have to remember this place to bring sandwiches onto the plane

Chocolate milkshake
Rabia J.

Potbelly ' neighborhood sandwich shop' - - It's a sandwich shop in IAD terminal B with a ton of options like: prime rib, Turkey, chicken, tuna, skinny choices (with few calories), peanut butter and jelly, Mediterranean, veggie sandwiches. In the menu also they have have Mac and cheese, sides, salads, soups etc. In drinks they have made to order milkshakes. I ordered the milkshake in chocolate flavor. The employee was efficient in making it and it tasted good. It came with a little cookie on top of the straw. That was a cute touch. The prices not steep as some airport choices. My order was to go before my flight. But they do have a good amount of seating in their small shop. Overall, decent quick place to pick up or sit down to eat or drink before flight time.~

Farmhouse Salad (To Go.)
Shante A.

This was my first time noticing the rise of both hunger and emotions. With an "Eat first, snap later-" kind of mood. Potbelly's Sandwich Shop caught my attention for dinner. I had the urge to taste both Potbelly's Traditional Dressing and a simple Balsamic; therefore, I went Dutch on their Farmhouse salad (a rendition of a Cobb salad.) I drizzled half with their traditional dressing and the other half with their balsamic dressing. This salad had my taste buds singing, "Old McDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-Oooh... with some oink, oinks here and cluck, clucks there... here's some bacon bits there's some diced, boiled eggs... and every where was a layer of deliciousness within a bite. One of the Austrian Airlines' flight attendants couldn't resist complimenting the salad.

Tuna Salad & Swiss
Che M.

Scary! My stomach is quivering just thinking about the person who eats this tuna salad! is that milk or mayonnaise? Yikes!

Turkey 6in
Gregory B.

Everything tasted fresh, even when I was ordering at 6:30am and not at a normal lunch time. I was anticipating shredded turkey breast, but got chunks of chicken. I guess that's how they normally do it, so just an FYI. I ordered broccoli cheddar soup and the employee yelled it out, but I realized after I left that I never got it. Don't know if I paid for it since I threw away my receipt, so I wished the workers had better communication.

Pretty standard sandwich with slightly better bread. Their "big" is kind of disappointing at 8 inches, the size of a regular Jimmy Johns.

The price is not cheap and not totally expensive so:T not bad. Haven't been to the store but when I'm in Chantilly I plan on stopping by with friends and cousins.

Vegetarian and Vegan never tasted so good…read more Yes it's organic, it's naked, it's good for you and me and I actually felt myself getting energized with every bite and sip. Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8.

The only downside was that the music was a little louder than I prefer, making conversation slightly difficult at times.

The food more than made up for the wait. The biscuits were absolutely fantastic. The spring salad was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. The grilled chicken on top was seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly, juicy and tender without being overdone. I'd definitely come back for the food and the welcoming service.

But I was craving that delicious crispy meat over a savory waffle. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Not a single person complained. If anything, they said how much food they got! When in the area again, will take a stop here to enjoy their food again!

Ordering online, arriving at the store to just have the order not even prepared yet. I recently just visited on 4/23/2026 and it was the worst of them all. They were out of about 3 ingredients that went with my hot honey chicken bowl. The worker there did not know how to even make my bowl he kept having to look at the instructions on how to even make it. To add to that the blackened chicken wasn't even available as I ordered and was told when he was halfway done making it. Of course as soon as I paid for my meal the cook from the back walked out with a fresh batch of blackened chicken. The worker preparing my bowl didn't even bother to go back and check as he was making it to see if anymore was being prepared. All he did was say "sorry" and smirked as I walked out. The slaw that goes with my order was just raw onions, and also missing other ingredients. This location is horrible and it will be THE LAST time I go back. Ever. Don't go to this location at one Loudoun you will be highly let down on the quality of food and service provided.

I sadly felt like everything on my plate lacked flavor. The meat could have been seasoned/marinated better giving a more flavorful skewer experience. The portion size was good and price was very affordable. As it pertains to parking, the options were abundant.
