Just a simple sandwich shop, but their food was delicious. Warm, toasted bread, condiments how you want them, and good meat options. The atmosphere had a retro/homey feel to it. My husband raved their Italian sub was the best he's ever eaten.

We were visiting a patient at University of PA Hospital and saw Potbelly's across the street. Delicious sandwiches, reasonable prices, friendly staff and fast service. We tried the mushroom melt, chicken salad and grilled chicken with cheddar sandwiches - all delicious and fresh. The salads looked great too, large and fresh.

The sandwiches come in three different sizes, ranging from about four to six bucks (not including tax or drinks). We had a ham & swiss and a roast beef, and found them both to be... More
