We are all in agreement that Potbelly's is the best sandwich chain, correct?

>> No.7752369

no. subway is. they have the most locations worldwide, so you know they are doing something right.

I live in Chicago and have been to one a couple of times.

Way too expensive for the portions. Would rather get JJ/10

Never been to a Potbelly, they're not out here where I live, I don't think.

However, I'll never understand people liking Jimmy Johns. Worst subs ever. I ate one for the first time today, and it was so mediocre, even worse than Subway or the sandwiches from the supermarket deli. The lettuce was yellow, I asked for hot peppers and there were approximately 2 on it, and those two pieces of hot pepper were the only flavor the thing had. Even the meats were bland. Not remotely worth nearly $8.

Nah nah nah, for my money I'd go for Ike's. Local spot

The best sandwich place here is a local chain called Beach Hut Deli. I'll post a few pics. This is my favorite sandwich, the Santa Cruz, but I get mine toasted, unlike the one in the pic.
At this place, a small is enough to make you seriously full, a medium is enough for 2 meals, and a large is enough for 2 people to share and probably still take some home.

I will NEVER eat at that place again. First and only time I tried it I got something simple - turkey, lettuce and mayo. Got horrible shits from that place. JJs and Subway at least don't bring on the screamin' squits.

Yeah, I never got sandwich shop loyalty. They're pretty low-tier and standard procedure foods, there really isn't much of a ceiling for quality.

Sandwiches can vary wildly. Just look at >>7755097 compared to >>7755040, that's why people have sandwich shop loyalty. If you're going to pay for someplace to make you a sandwich, it had better be a good one.

my nationalish Sammy Chain ranking:
1. Jersey Mikes
2. Potbelly
3. Firehouse
4. Togos
5. Jimmy Johns
6. Quiznos
