Broccoli Cheddar
Katherine A.

First timer at a Potbelly. First, parking is atrocious. There are not enough spaces to support the businesses in the strip mall. We had to wait for a space to open. Ordering sandwich and soup was fairly straightforward. Sandwich was up fairly quickly, but it seemed to take forever to get through the register to pay. When we sat down, we realized that we were overcharged, so had to wait through the line again to fix the bill. The tables were all dirty. I had to wipe one off to use. We never saw tables cleaned while we were there. What a hot mess. For the food, my husband ordered the Wreck, which had a single slice each of salami, turkey, roast beef and ham that were so thin, you could see through them. The toppings were generous and the bread was good. The sandwich was good despite the thinly sliced meat. I had a bowl of the broccoli cheese soup. The soup was thick and creamy. Kid's eat free on weekends, which is a good deal. They cater and push use of their app for ordering and special deals. I probably won't add this to my regular sandwich lineup as there are lots of sub shops in the area with clean tables that can get the bills right the first time.

I've seen this place for years but really had no idea what it was. There is one downtown and the one I stopped in is in Carmel. Someone recommended it saying they have really good sandwiches, and indicated it's like Penn Station. Well I LOVE Penn Station and I was close by so decided to stop in. First off, it's NOT like Penn Station. Sure they serve sandwiches but that's really the inky comparison there is. They have several sandwiches to choose from (not a Philly steak) they don't do fries and they have soups and salads to choose from. I ordered a Chicken Pot Pie Soup and it was very good. Very filling, comforting and the perfect amount on a cold day. I ordered the bowl and it was plenty. This location is very clean no dirty tables, no overflowing trash cans very clean and well taken care of. Everyone was nice, not overly but pleasant. It was pretty quiet in there but I did go maybe an hour before closing. Good experience and if you like chicken pot pies I really recommend you stop in and try it!

I cannot speak to any other food at Potbelly. But today I split the ice cream cookie sandwich with a friend because it was so huge. No, we did not share the same handheld delicacy. Rather, large top and bottom cookies were chosen, then the ice cream was split into two small bowls. It was the perfect amount, my sweet tooth was more than satisfied, the team member granted every request, and two people were made very happy for under $4! #Getlostindiana

We were greeted as we entered this sandwich shop. I was craving soup and a salad and was happy to see that I could have both options. I opted for the apple walnut salad and cup of veggie soup and my husband got The Wreck skinny wrap and a strawberry shake. Everyone was very friendly and it wasn't very loud so we were able to have conversations without yelling, which is nice. Our food was ready right away and they brought the milkshake to our table. They even offered to pour it into two cups if we planned to share it, however, I was opting to stay healthy. My husband looked like he started to be healthy with his skinny wrap and then last second asked for a milkshake which cancelled out his healthy choice... clean. The salad was great and the veggie soup hit the spot! My husband devoured his wrap and milkshake so I'm guessing they were good as well! We will be back.

Did a mobile order. Got there at the time we indicated. It was not there. Waited 15 minutes and asked the cashier. He pulled it out from the counter behind the cash register. He said the stand that says Mobile Order is for door dash. Mobile orders are behind the counter. My husband said he had been waiting by the mobile orders for 15 minutes. He said, "yeah, maybe we should change the sign". They guy did not apologize. This isn't a staff shortage, this is a staff that couldn't even care less. Kindness & empathy in a service industry . That's all that was needed. Fast forward: We got home and realize they forgot a cookie and then we saw the receipt saying "sorry we are out!" Of that cookie. They Could have told us when we were there (hindsight: this is probably why the order was behind the cash register - because we saw a friend walk in and pick up his order which on the mobile Order shelf...) (see picture of receipt) Then my salad had wilted soggy greens () (see picture) And then, 2 out of 3 sandwiches had meatballs in it - we ordered no meatballs (see picture). We called, the manager and they offered a refund and mailing gift cards. We declined the gift cards and asked for a full refund. And for the refund, I give them one star. Now time to order dinner from some other place. This location has let us down almost every time. My favorite place to eat at growing up in Chicago is dead in Carmel.

App-can't order in Carmel

Potbelly is a top two local sandwich shop for me. They get a 5 for my sandwich and a 1-2 for service. Not sure why, but you can never order via app at this location anymore. I've tried many a times and it always says it isn't available. The majority of the staff always seems annoyed that you come in. Yesterday I actually got a lecture by a young employee on "how to make their life easier". So if you want to get a good sandwich-you'll probably get one. You just may get it with a side of attitude (hence why I wish I could order via app).

A Wreck

Great food and service. In and out quick with everything tasting right. Watched 20 people roll through efficiently while I sat and enjoyed my sandwich.

Ordered delivery via DoorDash - working late so I didn't feel like cooking. I order my food around 8:50pm, I get my food almost around 10:30pm. Now I know that's not potbelly's issue, even though my food was cold. I found this piece of plastic in my chili and my sandwich was dry and burnt. Don't think I'll return.

My kid has a surprisingly sophisticated palate, but he always goes for the classics when it comes to frozen custard: chocolate. He got a scoop of chocolate custard in a waffle cone, and really enjoyed it, like he always does. If I liked ice cream and didn't think it tasted like sweet mucus, I would have joined him and gotten a scoop of their flavor of the day (some cookie and caramel concoction). It looked pretty good in the photo on the menu. Instead, I just watched my kid eat his ice cream, and we talked and had a good time sitting outdoors on the patio. The indoor seating at this Culver's is very tidy and clean. I like that they have outlets at the tables, so this might make a good spot to work or study remotely. The service was fast and friendly, like it is at every Culver's that I've ever been to.

I've had good experiences at this location, whether ordering in-store, drive-thru or Curdside.

Sammy could not have been nicer and more helpful and cheerfully said, "Mistakes happen. You keep the baked beans and let us give you your green beans." He really saved the day for us as most of the kids present did not like baked beans. He said, "Have them try them, they'll like them", and they did!

When we arrived, the place was empty. We weren't even sure that they were open until we saw the kitchen staff behind the line. Upon entering, I saw a kiosk where you can place your order, but a woman emerged from the back to take our orders. Being that we weren't familiar with the menu, I told her that the kiosk might be easier. She insisted that it wasn't, and as I went on, I realized the same. The kiosk states that there is a $1.25 charge for the sauce on the side, but she explained that it comes with one sauce free of charge and additional sauces cost extra. We placed our order with her: A small Italian salad to share, the Fatty B calzone with the spicy marinara sauce and the Hot Mother Clucker calzone with the chipotle garlic ranch. We ordered them with the suggested sauces but also order the regular marinara and the garlic sauces on the side. We were given glasses for water (self-serve from the soda fountain) and also ordered a bottled beer and canned cider. By the time we were done ordering, a line had formed. The store was understaffed, which was explained to us later, so we had to exercise patience. We didn't receive our beverages until after the calzones were delivered. Before that, we received our rather large, small salad. It was more than enough for two people. The woman had explained to us that it comes with 4 cups of lettuce plus the toppings. That information helped us make our decision to share. The space is large and we noticed cornhole boards to be used on the patio. Unfortunately, it was raining when we went, otherwise we would have played. The calzones were good and filling. Neither of us finished ours and had food to enjoy at home later that evening. The Hot Mother Clucker isn't very pizza-esque, but dipping it into marinara sort of brought it back into the fold. The suggested chipotle garlic ranch was a better pairing indeed. The salad bowl/plate is oddly shaped, which caused toppings to being spilling off the sides. When it was brought to our table, the woman tried saving the toppings by wedging them between the order slip and her fingers and dumping them back onto our plate. I stopped her. I wasn't trying to be rude, but I don't want to eat food that a stranger's hands have touched. I explained this to her. She tried to assure us that she washes her hands constantly throughout the day, but she'd just come over from the register without a handwashing break. Just let the toppings fall where they may! Let's keep it hygienic.

So, I wound up taking the meat, cheese and banana peppers (it was a Grilled Italian) off of the bread and eating it with my fingers. Sans bread. The Sweet Tea and Fresh Cut Fries saved me that day. I love Penn Station subs, and it wasn't their fault that I ordered the incorrect sandwich, but it did leave me wondering why they even sell those types of sandwiches to begin with. I would like them removed from the menu! LBVS

As someone who loves gyros and Greek food, I'll admit I've mostly stayed around downtown Indy when…read moreI get the craving. But I needed something different, because the Greek food scene here just hasn't hit the same for me after growing up around Chicago and living on both the East and West Coast. This place was exactly the kind of spot I was hoping to find. First off, the owner is an older gentleman and he's awesome. I ordered, stood at the register waiting to pay, and when he came back he asked if I needed anything else. I told him, "I need to pay," and he just goes, "No, you pay after you eat. Don't worry about it." You don't find many places like that anymore. The gyro itself was packed to the absolute brim. Honestly, it could easily be two meals. The meat had great flavor, the pita was fresh and flaky, and everything worked perfectly with the tzatziki, feta, lettuce, and tomato. The place itself is simple when you walk in. Nothing flashy, nothing overdone. But between the owner, the regulars, and the overall feel of it, it almost feels like you're sitting in someone's home you grew up in. Comfortable, welcoming, and real. Definitely a must-try. The gyro gets a solid 8.1/10 from me.
