Like many other transplants from the Midwest, I am so incredibly excited that Potbelly's has made it's way to Arizona! It is worth the drive downtown just to eat a little piece of "back home". And for those who aren't familiar with the magic that is Potbelly's, I truly think you won't be disappointed. I usually go with the Italian with extra peppers or the Chicken Salad, although I don't think I've ever tried anything I don't like. But the atmosphere is great, I've never been to a Potbelly's anywhere in Illinois (and I've been to many) that did not have the kindest and most reliable customer service. The service is fantastic, food is amazing and I even kind of like those weird, smelly hippies they hire to play guitar on the loft.
This is the one and only toasted sandwich shop. But the chili, chicken noodle soup and milk shakes are amazing too! Now all I need is a Noodles & Co. and FlatTop Grill!
