I had a great experience at this location. The food is what you'd expect from Potbelly but the team behind the counter made all the difference. It seemed like one of the guys was a recent hire so our order took a bit longer which was not a problem. Rather than giving the new guy shit for his mistake, the team was supportive and encouraging. Good vibes!

For years and years people have been telling me that I had to try the sandwiches at Potbelly. It's not that I never wanted to before, it just never happened. I finally got around to checking one out a couple weeks ago and I would have to say..I understand the hype now. I came in for lunch on a random weekday early afternoon and the place was pretty packed. It seems like all the restaurants in this Rookwood shopping area are always busy no matter what time of day or night. The set-up here is similar to other sub shops. You approach a counter, choose what you want off of menu boards and customize your sub down the line as it's being made. I decided to try the Italian with hot peppers and a side of mac and cheese (which I had heard a lot of great things as well). This was a good solid Italian sub. I got it grilled (I wholly prefer hot subs over cold). The meats and cheeses tasted fresh, the bun had a nice crisp taste to it, and the hot peppers really provided a nice kick to the sandwich. Did it absolutely blow me away? No not really. I might have built my expectations a bit too high from all the great things I had heard. This was definitely a good sandwich tho. I would for sure go and try one again at some point. The mac and cheese was pretty tasty too. The noodles were this, the cheese was hot and creamy. A really good side dish that complimented the sandwich nicely. The staff here that I encountered were all really friendly and helpful seeing that I hadn't eaten at a Potbelly before and needed to be guided through the processes there. Some of the nicer employees I've encountered lately. So yes, I did enjoy Potbelly over and I wouldn't hesitate to go back and have this sandwich again or try another one. Side note, Potbelly being so good finally ended a really bad streak of food/experiences I have had at all the restaurants in this plaza. So, good for them! By far the best eating option in this Rookwood Plaza in my opinion.

I remember loving this place but my mom and I had lunch and there was live music. Maybe we were at the one in Kenwwod.....oh who knows! The sandwich was good and so was the potato soup. It was fast and friendly and now.....if only they had Sweet Tea!

Nice spot for a sandwich and soup - lots of variety in breads, meats, and toppings. Wide variety of drinks beyond the soda machine. We always seem to end up there for lunch, so I haven't been able to check out the music as I see a mic and amp up front.

Made my own imitation of the Baked Buddy from Larosa's. Really good!

It feels crazy to give a chain sandwich joint 5 starts, but I think this place deserves it. The service is awesome, all of the workers are always super friendly. They always let me make up my own sandwich and don't get aggravated with me. I think the quality of the food is awesome. Their bread is fresh and the meat quality is good. They have a few different bread options, including the option to "skinny" your sandwich by scooping out some of the bread. I love the topping options, and that you can get a small side of the hot peppers. They also have a good chips and bottled drinks selection! Bonus: they have awesome shakes and malts that come with two cute little mini cookies on the straw. I've been coming here for almost ten years now and I still think they do a great job. If you're in a pinch for a quick bite, I definitely think this is a solid option for the Hyde Park/Rookwood area.

The staff is nice enough and speedy. The 4 stars however is due to everything else on their menu being so pricey as well as the fact that the burgers have a sweet flavor to them which is honestly so odd. Ambiance wise its a drive up, park your car, turn on your lights to get an order type rodeo.

The server brought us out paper menus and told us to turn our headlights on when we were ready to order. We ordered a shake, well tried to order a shake and their shake machine was down....That was a little bit disappointing. We received our food, the server forgot straws and condiments. We had to flash our lights to get his attention. One of our drinks was mostly carbon water, we had to flash again to get that replaced. They weren't very busy, but this was not the best first impression. The food was kind of bland, nothing to really brag about. I will give them another try. Maybe it was just an off night. The server was very polite and apologetic. I decided to order a second time before I posted this review, to give it a fair chance. Today is 2/10/25 and I am even more disappointed than the first time. My cheeseburger was raw. My burger was not even thick, it was like a smash burger. I was so disgusted when I bit into it and tasted the texture of raw meat. The shake was okay, I got a hot fudge shake. I taste mainly vanilla and not much hot fudge. I ordered a brownie, they didn't put it in my bag. The fries were crispy like I asked, but had way too much salt on them.

I will do this in the words of Henry Ford himself:…read more "The grease in this place is of the good kind... the kind that smells of honest work and assembly lines, not the rancid oils you find in those fly-by-night lunch counters. I found myself halfway through the signature burger, marveling at the assembly--not a bolt out of place, everything in its proper station and the lettuce crisp as a cold-rolled steel sheet. A man appreciates a system that functions without chatter or delay. Sitting here near the assembly plant's ghost, I couldn't help but admire the vintage fittings; they've managed to capture the spirit of progress without the clutter of modern inefficiency. My wife has a constitution that demands specific care, and the server handled her requirements with the precision of a master machinist, wasting no time on unnecessary pleasantries but delivering exactly what was ordered. The restrooms, surprisingly, have a sense of humor, though humor is a luxury I generally leave to the salesmen. It is a good price for an honest meal, constructed with a respect for speed that would make a production line foreman nod in approval. It is a well-oiled operation and I shall return to see if they can maintain this level of output." And normal: From the moment i stepped in... the atmosphere hit me like a wave. It was a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication with antiques that told stories of a bygone era. The restrooms while quirky, added a unique touch to the experience. What truly stood out was the service. It was swift and efficient, with our server going above and beyond to accommodate my wife's allergies. Grant our server did amazing job ! I ordered the Ford signature burger, and it was an absolute masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the quality was exceptional. The presentation was top-notch, and the speed at which it arrived was impressive. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and i couldn't be more satisfied with my dining experience. Overall, Ford's Garage is a must-visit for anyone looking for a high-quality, efficient, and enjoyable meal. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is truly special. i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food and wants to experience a unique dining experience. - Atmosphere: 9/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 10/10 - Value: 8/10 - Would Return: Yes.

My boyfriend enjoyed the beer selection but the portion size for his fries seemed small, especially with the pricing.

I stopped by for a quick lunch during the week and wanted an easy to-go sandwich. They have a medium sized menu but a lot of different options which makes it a bit hard to pick haha!

They also had good, homemade or freshly made sides like potato salad and other salads you could get. It was great.
