Panera Bread Niagara Falls Reviews
I love everything at Panera Bread. The broccoli cheese soup is delicious. The sandwiches are delicious. Portions are great, for lunch get the half size soup and sandwich, as the full size is way too much for lunch. I love that you make your own tea, as you can make it to your own liking. As there is a drive thru, it can be a bit time consuming to sit inside, or to get take away as they process drive thru with priority, or so it seemed. Oh and the bread is great too. The photos show the full portion of soup and sandwich, the sandwich did go home!!
The manager here went out of her way to make a pot of fresh coffee in the afternoon. Thankful for the new people at the register who are very friendly and helpful, it makes a huge difference in how people feel when grabbing lunch. Very clean even when busy. Highly recommend. For quiet visit on the weekends, usually packed for lunch weekdays. Also this Panera is in the hub of everything and a Outlet Mall as well.
Ordered online because my Panera NEVER can give me an Asiago bagel when I just pull up to the building no matter what time of the day or night, so I’ve got Tuesday13 bagels for my freezer - but saw this Four Cheese Souffle and just had to try it. IT IS EXCELLENT and I think the first souffle I’ve liked in over 3 decades! Fluffy & moist with a great cheese taste! Do yourself a favor and get them before it’s gone like so many great offerings are!
Stopped in for a quick lunch wanted to eat soup and sandwich it was no brainer for being out of town new the menu and what I wanted !! New veggies corn chowder soup and half Mediterranean sandwich with NO feta cheese with after lunch pastry - Bear Cale . They have Tabasco package to add to soup which I do .. look for it at drinks station lower level also mustard salt peppers etc . Also have cup for water which I prefer at no charge ..common at all stores
They are sporting a new menu again. The steak sandwich with sautéd onions, peppers and a garlic aioli solved my hunger puzzle. The chicken bacon ranch on ciabatta bread is another great pick. Employees were friendly. The restaurant was very clean but I’m not sure how they make money with multiple people sitting there for hours on end.(admittedly I wasn’t there to witness their lengthy stay but you can tell when an individual makes a place their own living room)Very difficult to find a seat sometimes
Panera is good for a fast food chain. The iced green tea is fantastic. Their hazelnut coffee is better than most because they don't use the syrup shot. Their food is good. Their portion size isn't fantastic, especially for anything that comes in a bowl like soup. It can be pricey for fast food, but it's better quality than the burger joints. I enjoy their seasonal salads the most. The sip club program is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
I generally do not go out to restaurants a lot, but I have been here a couple times within the last month because the people I were with wanted to go here. The staff is okay but nothing great, the coffee has been cold both times, and I know closer to the end of their day that they won’t have a lot of baked goods, but they could make them look more presentable.
By far the busiest Panera Bread I have ever been to. Parking was limited and it took almost 25 mins to get 2 cups and 2 baked goods that took zero preparation by staff. There seemed to be a lot of staff as far as fast food chains go, at least 5 in the kitchen, 3 behind the counter, and 2 bussing tables, but the wait was still ridiculous. The guy who realized they had missed our order apologized and was very nice. Seemed like a place where many regulars met up with special requests and lots of badly behaved kids so kuddos to the staff anyway. We were there on a Thursday around lunchtime and there were probably over 30 customers inside not including a constant line in drive through.
I usually love Panera, but unfortunately, this location was a letdown. I’m giving 3 stars only because the food still tasted good. I had customized my sandwich, but the customizations were completely ignored. Instead of correcting it properly, the staff member handed me a bunch of vegetables on the side—ingredients that should’ve been part of the sandwich. I can usually adjust, but what really bothered me was the attitude. She didn’t acknowledge the mistake or offer an apology. Eventually, she offered to remake the sandwich, which I appreciated. However, when I went to pick it up, she told me I could only get the new one if I threw away the old sandwich myself. I found that very strange—I've never seen a customer being asked to trash their own incorrect order. Most places would either let you keep it or discard it themselves without putting it on the customer. The service here really missed the mark.
Bought 2 brownies but they just gave me one and I only found that out once I got home. Their free bread “unwrapped” that comes with a purchase of salad was just tossed inside the paper bag with all the other wrapped pastries and the salad. I asked why they did not put it in a bag, staff said that it really does not come with any packaging. Poor handling of food.
I’ve never thought something like this would happened to me. Long and behold it did. I wasn’t going to post this because people have slip ups from time to time. I am posting this because of the way the situation was handled. When I returned to Panera and notified the worker there was a fly in my salad he immediately took the salad and said “Ok”. Not a sorry or can I replace it with something else just “Ok” that shouldn’t just been brushed off you served a loyal customer a fly. There should’ve been a better way to handle the situation but not only that refunded me for my soup in which I wasn’t originally returning and snatched the bag with the soup in it. Panera need to teach their employees better mannerisms because they was that was handled is unacceptable!
While the employees at this location are nice and friendly, I always have an issue when I come through the drive thru! For whatever reason, I’m almost always missing something and it’s VERY frustrating! Please do better….🤷🏽♀️
Terrible drive through experience,the young man that took my order spoke like he was in a hip hop song instead of a customer service position,which tracks because almost every guy in the kitchen,had their pants around the bottom of their rear ends. They took a solid 10-15 minutes for a pick 2 with mac and cheese and a sandwich,asked for no onions,and of course there was onions,also they forgot my baguette. As I sat there waiting for my food I watched employees laughed and carried on. While they worked slowly on what I presume to be one of the last orders of the night.
This locations managers and employees need to be retrained or fired. Always a horrible customer service experience every time I have gone there. They are extremely unhelpful and they have no sense of pride or urgency. The orders take forever and are poorly made. No wonder they have the most complaints of all fast food chains currently. They beat out Arby's for that title. Let that sink in.
I just had to do the side by side, and let the picture speak for itself, it doesn't lie. I call this work of art "Menu vs. Reality." Incidentally, shame on companies that are constantly fooling people into wasting their hard earned money like this. We've just accepted as part of our reality ("Of course it'll never look like that in real life," because someone spent hours propping up the egg to one side with toothpicks, melting the cheese with hair dryers, and spraying it all down with hairspray to get that FALSE picture, but it's still ok by law, because *technically* it's what they serve...) Justify $6.99 for what I received. Not even a whole egg. Shame.
We are very disappointed with this place. First, they missed some things from our order, and then they messed up our order by not adding our customizations. They made our having here order as go to. The food was cold, and the soup was not soupy. The sandwich was cold and lacking in everything. I love panera but this place is not it.
