Subpar "made to order " mac and cheese.
Sara S.

Pretty abysmal. My husband and I stopped in a few weeks ago for a quick, inexpensive bite to eat while out holiday shopping. We had never tried any Potbelly location before and based on this experience, we never will again. How I wish we'd stopped elsewhere- seriously, anywhere else. Granted, this is just a sandwich shop, fast food, more or less, but it was just not good. My husband ordered roasted chicken sandwich, while I picked the so-called "built to order" mac and cheese entree. I love baked mac and cheese and often order it when dining out. I did not, however, like this "baked" mac and cheese. First thing we noticed right off the bat was the slightly surly and abrupt girl waiting on us at the front counter. She looked as if she'd rather be anywhere else on earth and barely grumbled at us. She couldn't adequately explain the "built to order" mac and cheese concept. Despite that, I still ordered it, in part because none of the sandwiches on the menu board appeared terribly appetizing. The next girl at the counter tossed a topping of wet, ice cold "roasted red peppers" onto my mac and cheese dish in a haphazard manner. I also took notice of the fact she was only wearing one glove! Nice! What's the point of wearing one glove instead of none or both? Hmm. Very unhygienic in a restaurant. Our food was ready within moments. True, they were fast, but not good. The mac and cheese was lukewarm and obviously was sitting in a warmer all day, perhaps longer. The limp, ice cold roasted rep pepper toppings were soaking wet and ruined the entire meal. Who on earth would think ice cold, limpid red peppers that were billed as roasted red peppers would be ideal as a topping on a baked mac and cheese dish? Not me. I want to know who had the bright idea to let the roasted red peppers get mushy, ice cold and soaking wet before topping the mac and cheese? Lame. The noodles were cooked unevenly and every few bites I bit into a hard, partially uncooked piece. It was gross and I immediately got indigestion following our meal. My husband's sandwich was a little lackluster and he said the portion was a bit small for the price. He said the quality was barely average and honestly, it did not look very appetizing to either one of us. The portion size of his sandwich was so paltry that he was hungry again only hour later. After we split an ice tea, we still spent about $15 on a very unsatisfying meal. Hmm. For that money, we could have split a sub somewhere else or hit some drive through on Miller Road and been more satisfied. We were tempted to ask for our money back, but didn't. We just won't ever eat at Potbelly again.

Ordered via the drive thru on 7/16/20 and received my sandwich which had raw meat on it. I was so disgusted I lost my appetite to eat anything for several hours. Definitely won't be returning.

Closed early. Served the car ahead of me, and refused to serve me. Good food, but lousy service. Dort and Davison in Flint.

Great tasting burger the onion jam is outstanding, very messy burgers but thats a good thing…read more Staff not very friendly not rude just a I don't want to be here attitude.

Went and visited my son up at school and both of us being burger fans took a shot at this spot…read more First and foremost it was nicer than I expected. I thought it would be more fast food in appearance, and in some ways it was with the self serve drink dispenser and plastic silverware, but aesthetically it was far more pleasing than any typical fast food burger spot. You know who I'm talking about. The counter person was absolutely wonderful dealing with us and our questions. Now onto the important stuff. Burgers are two patties and massive. You are definitely getting your money's worth. We split 3 different ones amongst us and they were all good: the mushroom, the southwest, and the brunch. The meat itself is a little flavorless but that might be cause typically I have the meat cooked to medium and these were well done. We weren't asked how we want them cooked so I'm assuming this is just how the cook all the patties. What I didn't like were the fries. They were cold and chewy like they have been sitting around for a while. My son ordered a caramel and it was absolutely delicious. So that was a huge positive. Overall it was a good experience and the prices were in good for the amount of food you get. I would definitely go again.

It is not just a sandwich shop, it is a sanctuary of sizzle, a monument to meat, and the keeper of my very soul. They lay thinly sliced ribeye upon a screaming hot grill, right before your weeping eyes, onto a roll so soft and pillowy, it holds the heavy burden of glorious steak juices like a protective mother. Then there is the red sauce. It is not a condiment. It is an awakening. A crimson wave of sweet, tangy ecstasy that breathes life into the steak. And the peppers! Those free banana peppers are bright yellow coins of hope, cutting through the rich darkness of the onion-kissed beef. And they have supernatural speed! You order. You hand over your money. Before the register can even click shut, a piping hot, heavy brick of butcher paper is thrust into your trembling hands. How? Is it magic? Is it a glitch in the matrix? Do not question it. Just accept the miracle. My doctor tells me to eat more salads, and they HAVE THOSE TOO! I got one today, the chicken salad with jalapeno ranch. I didn't even have this dream until Big John's told me to dream it. Look, you could go to a lot of different sandwich places in Flint, but seriously do yourself a favor and go here. Choose happiness.
