This article was in today's Daily Candy (with a link to this on their home page, too):

Daily Candy is an extremely popular site with a lot of national coverage, so this should be a pretty big deal for Potbellies (and well-deserved, IMO).

Too bad they only have 5 or 6 tables! :-D

No, I probably should have though as my friends coke was flat as well. Really, not a big deal. I think I was more disappointed that they still haven't gotten their beer and wine license.

sorry if this has been asked or mentioned already, but does that mean we could BYOB if we wanted?

[Karl S]

No. You can't do that in Boston. It's especially risky for any place that has an application for a license pending, as here.

Ok, so I finally made it to Potbellies the other night and I'm not quite yet on the band wagon, but I would go back. For the positive, the sandwiches were generous, of good quality and creative combinations. For the less positive, the gingerale, served in a can with no offer of a glass or straw, was flat. The dinner choices were few and since nothing jumped out at me I went with the sandwich. Within seconds of placing the order, they started posting new specials on the blackboard. I would have loved to try the mussels or the meatloaf but didn't get the chance. Since we were the only ones in there I think the service could have been more attentive. Of course, this could just be a lack of experience. All in all the sandwiches were good enough to make up for everything.

Did you get another soda? Flat canned ginger ale sounds like a defective can.

Just as an update, they're not open until 5:00 on Saturdays. I wanted to try it this past Saturday and ended up at Amhreins.

It is well deserved. Went there last night with a couple of friends. Everything was very tasty, thoughtfully made and presented, and I love the tall if smallish space; things move there but the tables were almost always full even as people came and were seated, ate and went. There are 4 seats at the bar in front of the kitchen; no liquor license yet, but it's pending so *no* BYOB as a result. Great service; wonderful couple who own and run the place. Try giving them some business on some of the slower nights (and days: it's open 8AM-10PM IIRC, but closed Sundays); this place deserves to be supported by Boston hounds.
