Potbelly is a chain of fast-casual restaurants that focuses on serving toasted sandwiches, salads, soups, cookies, and other baked goods. The company was founded in 1977 as a small antique store in Chicago that also sold sandwiches to customers. The restaurant gradually became popular for its sandwiches and expanded to various locations across the US, including several franchised outlets. Today, Potbelly offers a relaxed and friendly dining experience, with a menu of signature sandwiches, sides, and desserts, combined with live music and a welcoming ambiance. The brand prides itself on using high-quality ingredients, homemade recipes, and fresh-baked bread.
Potbelly provides a variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, and side dishes. Their menu includes classic sandwich options like turkey, ham, and roast beef, as well as more unique offerings like the Wreck (a combination of multiple meats, cheese, and veggies) and the Mediterranean (featuring hummus, veggies, and feta cheese). They also offer vegetarian and gluten-free options. For sides, customers can choose from items like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and chips, and their soup offerings change daily.
