Feeding our Potbellys

Mmmmmm Potbelly I have yet to be disappointed at this place. So instead of doing the weirdest and most popular food item we just picked two random sammiches. Mine was the pizza sub. Now if you haven’t noticed I like big amounts of food. I want tons of meatballs, I want tons of cheese, I want tons of fries! So when I ordered this I was expecting tons of pepperoni. Lo and behold I got like 4 pepperonis. Normally this would bother me but I was distracted by the mushrooms. I hate mushrooms. I don’t like the texture it just feels weird. But for that sammich the planets aligned and I did not (AAAAHHHH!! A ginger just walked by! Ok he’s gone… never make eye contact they can steal your soul) get grossed out by them. I think it was the Italian seasoning. It was good it added to the overall experience. Size wish the sammich wasn’t very big. I would say 10 inches (you know what else is 10 inches... my foot! Where did you think I was going with that? Bunch of perverts). The atmosphere was hectic. The reason why was free Pita day at the Pita Pit. I think there were about 258 people outside. All just for a free Pita, no thanks I’m not waiting that long for a free pita. So it was hectic in Potbelly’s because people saw the line and beelined for Potbellys. There was also a dude in the corner playing his guitar. His music was pretty good, but I didn’t go to Potbellys to listen to him croon for the ladies. I was hungry I wanted to eat and get back to my internship. Plus Emma kept swooning over him so all I had to hear, “that boy is cute!”

hmmm potbelly.

let me start out by saying....we went to potbelly on free pita pit pita day. so the line for pita pit wrapped around the block right by potbelly. crazy. also, as a sidenote, HOW IN THE WORLD DOES PITA PIT MAKE MONEY OFF OF FREE PITA DAY??? seriously? yeah yeah as if they get more people to come by giving out free things, it doesnt seem to add up in my head.

also my prof just swore in class then said "sorry i cussed" hahahahahahhahahahahha. (NO IM NOT WRITING THIS IN CLASS!)

anyways......

i am not one to stand in line for free food for more than 30 mins. therefore the original plan of potbelly still stood.

i was starving when i walked in there and ended up being full and satisfied. however, the food wasn't anything spectacular, the menu is a typical sandwhich shop. therefore, it is a good place to eat but if you were trying to impress someone with a fancy and wonderful msu place…id pass on potbelly.

you have choices of multigrain or white bread (WHITE all the way! multigrain? psssh who wants to be healthy) and all of their sandwiches are “typical”. although, they do have a peanut butter and jelly one YUM YUM! they also have those giant pickles in a jar so all of those who aspire to be snooki should go here to get your pickles.


place: potbelly
time: noon
date: september 29
what i got: meatball original, chocolate brownie cookie, sour cream and onion chips, coke.
value: giving it a 4. everything is generally well priced.
service: 3.5. not much interaction with the people, but they are friendly!
taste: 4.5, my meatball sandwich was warm and delicious! and my chocolate brownie cookie things was SO good.
time: 4. food is ready fairly quickly!
and for the new rating! presentation: 3.5 nothing fancy. just straight up sandwich, i really like the way they wrap the food up and cut the sandwich in half so it is a bit easier to eat =]
avg: 3.9

overall i liked it! i want to restate that these opinions are subjective so i rate based on what i think it should taste like. does that make sense?

anyways...atmosphere...this place was hopping! they had an adorable boy singing and playing his guitar. i think he made lunch more enjoyable. and ryan loved me talking about him the whole time!

it was pretty busy in there, but we got there RIGHT before the rush so we didn't have to wait very long anddddd we got a table.

i like that they have fun drinks like in a bottle as well as fountain pop...that is cute. the place itself has charm which is always nice, cozy...i think that is the word i want.

my word of advice...get the choco brownie cookie. no, really. get it. especially if you just went to a traumatic dr. appt. you wanna hear what happened??? skip past the next paragraph if you dont care....

EMMAS TRIP TO THE DOCTOR: i had to go up to the woman at the desk, IN FRONT OF A FULL WAITING ROOM. and say..."um excuse me, there are not cups for a urine sample in the bathroom" yeah. that was just part of my fun trip to the doctor. (inappropriate for a food blog? OH WELL.)

sooo whatchu think??? any comments? who wants to go where and when you wanna go? we are open to you and your free time.

anyone want to start funding this project ;]]

tell all your friends about this, especially ones who want to give me money for my thoughts =] ha just kidding (but really)


i love you people. you keep me young.
