A
Random Saturday at the Avenues out of the blue is always fun. Especially if its
timed towards mid day with slow mall traffic. 3 hours of window shopping and
walking relentlessly later, appetites were developed to peak levels. The
siblings and I headed to the food court for a quick bite to Potbelly. From the looks of it people are still in the process
of discovering and trying this place and its working to their advantage. I recognize
this place as the warmer served version of Subway. So if you’re not a fan of
cold cut sandwiches, but yet like less greasier warm sandwiches with a healthy
twist..Potbelly is definitely your place.
So
this is what we ordered: 3 regular sized sandwiches on brown bread namely the
vegetarian, the Italian and the Wreck all with toppings listed on the menu with
exceptions to mayo and oil dressing.
We
ordered an additional order of baked steak fries with 1 diet coke, a mango
shake and water. Total Damages Kd 7.8 which I thought seemed quite pricy for a sandwich
place..but I guess the additional shakes
and such did the damage.
Now
the verdict
The
Good: The vegetarian and the Wreck
sandwich were hands down the best bit about the menu. Crisp, fresh and delish!
My personal bias is for the vegetarian sandwich, given the fact that for a
meat loving person it didn’t fail to satisfy my palette. The regular
sized sandwiches are all big enough to fill one when hungry. If you are a
person who has a well endowed appetite the large size sandwich should definitely
do the trick.
The
ambience of the restaurant is quite disconnected from the rest of the food
court given their separate seating area. It has an old Louisiana diner styled restaurant
feel to it with interesting portfolio style pictures hung across the wall.
The staff are simply amazing..always friendly and always nice.
The
Bad: The menu seems to be oddly styled.
Although they do have a variety of items such as salads,
sandwiches and soup.. the soup selection seemed quite weak with just 2 options.
These 2 were hardly something that would incline on the healthier size. I
recall corn soup being one of them.
The
Affordable: For a sandwich
place that is styled similar to Subway they are quite competitively priced
hence you wouldn’t feel any pinch of the pricy element unless of course you are
restaurant biased. Personally, I felt as thought the shakes were too pricy
given the fact that you could easily get more reasonably priced shakes just
across the food court.
Anywho,
I loved the sandwiches and would definitely go back. Im thinking soon..perhaps
this weekend over the sale madness :P..you should too !
The place lives up to its byline..Good vibes, great sandwiches
Cheerios
all!
