| - With a name like "Potbelly" sandwich shops, I was expecting to get a "Belly-buster" like sub. Sadly, the subs here are TINY! I got the "big" sub, which is still only 9 inches, and seeing how small it was, I ordered extra meat. Still not satisfied, I got a side chilli too. For a whopping $16 lunch, I should have been tapping on my belly rather than still being hungry. Yeah, maybe drink one of their ice-cream shakes everyday and you'll get a potbelly, but eating their subs, you'll just get skinnier and poorer...
Now on to the food... Their subs is essentially the same as a Quiznos sub. Oh, and I got misled with the sign that said "hand-sliced roast beef" thinking it was freshly sliced pot-roast style roast beef that you get at a place like Pumpernickel. It's just the same old processed deli-style roast beef! Why emphasize that it's hand sliced? What, opposed to it being sliced with your foot? Or with an axe?
The chilli was very watery and bland. Even Tim Hortons chilli is better than this place, and I wouldn't consider Tims chilli to be all that good.
I don't want to criticize the employees too much as I realize the place just opened. But if I'm the only person in line and there is only one sub coming out of the oven, do you really need to ask me what I'm having? Geez, maybe take a wild guess that maybe that one sub is for me? And I have to repeat myself again when I get to the cash, since I have to deal with 3 separate people. Quite inefficient...
Overall, the food taste wasn't bad. But for a real shaved roast beef sandwich, I would much prefer Pumpernickels. And if I want the cheap deli roast beef, I could get a proper 12 inch at Subway instead for the same price (or cheaper).
Really lovely restaurant with a nice covered outdoor patio area. But food quality and the miniscule portion sizes just doesn't justify the price...
