Good vibes. Great Sandwiches.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop - Good vibes, great sandwiches at your neighborhood sandwich shop. Potbelly started in 1977 when an antique store on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago started selling toasted sandwiches. The same care and attention used to select our antiques went into the recipes and menu preparation. Meats and cheeses were sliced in the store every day. The bread finished its baking as the sandwich came out of the oven, making it perfectly toasted on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Fresh, crisp vegetables and condiments are added for a tasty sandwich like no other. And folks could add an old-fashioned, real ice cream milkshake that was hand dipped especially for them. Potbelly still does things exactly the same way today. For over 30 years we have maintained this distinctive homemade quality and pride in our food that made our first store on Lincoln Avenue a favorite.
