On Monday, December 22 from 10:30AM - 12:45PM, come visit Santa and get a sandwich from Potbelly! This is a ticketed event and costs $8 per person with each ticket including a kids combo or a skinny combo for adults (turkey, ham, chicken, or veggie only). There are three time slots for this event, so everyone is able to snack with Santa and get their last-minute wish lists in! The time slots for this event are 10:30AM–11:15AM, 11:15AM-12PM and 12PM-12:45PM.&nbsp; Everyone ages 1yo and up must have a ticket to attend.

We choose high quality meats, cheeses and veggies, then slice, cut and chop them ourselves. Our sandwich makers build amazing toasty sandwiches to order and get you through the line really fast. While every Potbelly Sandwich Shop is unique, they all have friendly folks behind the counter that will make you feel at home. Potbelly Sandwich Works at the Arboretum features the best sandwiches you’ll find in the Chicago area. Each restaurant has a classic antique décor that patrons enjoy. They have a variety of sandwiches that are all served hot on regular or multi grain wheat, and are prepared with fresh ingredients.



Free WiFi is available at this location.
