Pockets is a good restaurant for lunch if you are on a diet. All the food is super healthy but it doesn't taste great. Lots of vegetables and whole wheat.

My friends recently become a vegetarian and we wanted a quick lunch before heading back to work so we stopped at Pockets. It has light weight food and so many different types of salad and sandwiches. It's also perfect for someone who is watching their weight.

They have calzones, sandwiches, and salads. Their ingredients are fresh. They make the breads daily. You are paying for the quality of the food. A nice healthy meal

Pockets is a great place to go for a lunch or light dinner. Their prices are wonderful, there are plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians. The prices are great, and a salad is enough to keep me full all night. I recommend this for a quick and healthy alternative to fast foods.

Pockets just raised their price for the second time this year. This time they raised their price by almost 20% - ripoff. They were a good value; but now they are just-okay food at premium prices. For the same amount, you would get a better, healthy, lunch at Cosi or Max Kelly's wich are right nearby. Pass this one up until they adjust their prices.
Pros: nearby, healthy, now too much money
Cons: too much amone for an average salad

While non vegetarians enjoy their food as well, I find Pockets to be a great option for vegetarians looking to eat out. The pockets are cheap, delicious, and because meat is optional you won't pay for something that you won't eat. The Greek Pocket is really good, with delicious dressing on a greek salad stuffed inside their warm baked bread. The Southwest is also really good, for those looking for an American taste. Their delivery can be a little slow, but they make sure to make your food right. And their employees are very friendly, both in delivery and eating in. All in all, Pockets is a great option if you want great, cheap food that's actually healthy.
Pros: Cheap, healthy, delicious
Cons: Sometimes slow delivery
Too long of a wait for the worst calzone I have ever had. Frozen "hot-pockets" give them a run for their money
Limited selection of toppings, and a bland sauce as well.
