The Potbelly menu at a glance
Potbelly grew out of a Chicago antique store whose owner toasted sandwiches on an old potbelly stove, and it opened as a sandwich shop in 1977. The menu still centers on warm, toasty sandwiches, along with soups, salads, cookies and hand-dipped shakes. You order at the counter, pick your toppings and grab a seat or take it to go. RaceTrac, the convenience store company, bought Potbelly in October 2025 and said the shops would keep running as usual.
The prices here are estimated typical U.S. prices, and big-city shops usually charge more.
