Been a while since I’ve been to a Potbelly and get a chili there. I thought from before they asked if you want cheese but nothing at this place. I also recall the chili tasting different from before (and better). Maybe corporate changed the “recipe”…meaning whatever mass produced shipment that gets shipped out to all locations.
It did pass the eye test…good color, mix of meat and beans and a few peppers in there. Aroma was pretty good too. For being a national company I’d put it up against any other chain restaurant. It could have had a touch more flavor and been a little warmer, temp-wise. I did notice just a smidge of heat and it did have a varying flavor profile depending on the bite. If you had a few peppers you mainly tasted that…some more bean flavor so try to mix it up good. We got bowl which was basically a large cup. For the value stick with the cup… overall not too shabby. It is a good side for the sandwich and sure I’ll get again.
