Their website shows a breakfast menu...is the Toronto location open for breakfast?
I wouldn't mind trying their breakfast sandwich. Better yet, maybe they can make it available all day?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

What makes this place special? I don't see anything particularly unique or creative as far as the sandwiches go.

Nothing. It's nothing but college town grub.

Went to one in Washington DC; it was good and not too expensive.

It's an alternative to giving Subway sub all your money. It's not a sub shop, but it is a sandwich shop...

yes. this location open for breakfast. not been yet. walk by it everyday. nice change from the store selling junk that used to be there. but since Hero burger closed, i hope the landlord did not gauge the franchisee or this could be short lived...landlords are so greedy. so many places sit empty because of greed for MONTHs.

Quality sandwiches

I've never had but I hear they are very good - better quality than Soobway. Also very reasonable $$.

Next time I'm downtown I will definitely pop in.

Potbelly is my favourite when I'm in the states.

They are just simple but quality sandwiches

The large is maybe 8 or 9 inches only, but they aren't stingy with the meat so its satisfying.

Get it with the hot peppers, they use pickled hot giardenera.

Yup. Seemed to be pretty popular at lunch. A great addition to the core for sure and nice change from the other subway places that are so cheap these days.

About 100x better than subway or Mr. Sub IMO

I will attest to that. Bought a Italian and a wreck with everything. Super fresh ingredients. Wow. Great spice from the hot peppers. Dijon mustard. Very decent size for regular.

The building it is in is huuuge. Nice decor also.

I'll be back for sure!!

I have had Jimmy Johns many times - very good subs also.

I was going to pop in to Potbelly on Sunday but the traffic was so bad because of road closures I killed the idea. Soon!

I went today. Had the Pizza Sub. Really fresh bun and ingredients. Excellent sandwich.

That place gets busy. I was glad I was there before 11:30 at lunch time.

Have never heard of this. So Toronto now has Potbelly and Fatburger? Hmmm.
I would like an In-n-Out, a Culver's and a Chick Fil-A please!

Anyone try both Potbelly and Panera Bread? How do they compare? I've never tried the first but tried the new Panera sandwhich place in Aurora. Good sandwhiches but way too expensive at about $10 for what looked like half a sandwhich.
