Panera Bread San Antonio Reviews
Great food! I like the tea selection here.... They should have silverware out in the open for you though, along with other stuff instead of just asking for things all the time...! But the food is definitely good! The sandwiches are awesome along with the salads, such is what we had. Pretty much everything here is delicious!!! 😋. I can't believe we spent about $40 for 2 people at Panera.... Lol. But it is delicious here!
Trace and Cassie are AMAZING! My husband was in the hospital all day today and I ordered Uber Eats for the two of us and our kiddo to make life easier - but half the order was missing. I called, and Cassie and Trace pulled it together to not only get the food delivered to us quickly but with kindness and thoughtfulness on their part. Most restaurants treat it as not their problem if its through Uber Eats, but these guys went above and beyond. On days like today, people like you make such a big difference. Merry Christmas to you both, and thank you so much!!!
I've never been in a Panera, and this one was close (Lincoln heights) to where I was heading. I stopped in because the elderly person I have been watching wanted some homemade chicken noodle soup. So, I ordered a bowl. There are a couple of kiosk places to order before reaching the counter, or, just do as I did and order at the counter. The staff was very professional, customer service oriented, and courteous. Although, this being my first time I wish they cashier had advised there was a pickup window. Thus, I waited around, and finally noticed a pickup cabinet, and farther along an order pickup window. Low and behold, there was my order. I thought it was kind of odd that the name or order number was not being called out, but then again it was quiet in the restaurant. There were good smells, and people eating. I would imagine they all were having a good time. I'm sure I'll return sometime to try the food, but that wasn't the goal on this visit. Enjoy
Confession: went here twice in a week lol! Just moved back to a city that has Panera so I'm kind of wearing it out. Anywho I dined in the first time and never get a salad so I got the Cesar. The dressing was kind of all at the bottom though I tried to mix it more so probably will stick to my broccoli and cheese soup which never misses and I got the second time. The first time I ate inside on a busy day and they seemed short staffed as the tables were behind on being cleaned. The second time, I picked up to go and it was noticeably cleaner and less foot traffic. I got the half toasted garden caprese sandwich both times since I don't eat meat and that's the only option for a sandwich. Absolutely loved it! Of course I'll be back.
The food was great! The tea was old though. It had that funky 'mold at the bottom' taste. I will give this location another try. It was around 8pm on a Sunday.
Very hit or miss. I love the chocolate croissant at Panera. When I get it here, sometimes it's great, other times it tastes old and kinda hard.
I LOVE Panera, but this was sad. I have a cold, so my husband went to get me some chicken noodle soup. For $9 there was THREE bites of food in my broth, 2 noodles, 1 carrot, and 1 piece of chicken. 😅🤒😭 Would love to have Panera make this right. 💔🍲
Visited at 6 on a Sunday. The majority of the empty tables weren't bussed, and there was a huge mess under most of them. The booth we sat in had a broken seat that sloped towards the floor. Customer service at this location has always been so-so in my opinion. And I use them regularly for catering. Lately, it's been good, but they can be inconsistent in arriving on time and with the entire order. Overall, I come back for the food but not the experience.
This is my first time going here and I actually just got delivered to my job. I was super excited to try the chicken noodle soup when it came. It was nice and warm, but as soon as I opened it, I realize that I was only given, bro there was no noodles no chicken at all, so I was forced to dip the bread into the broth and drink it. I really hope that the workers had more common sense than to serve someone a bowl of broth for next time.
Panera What the hell has happened to you??? I just had my lunch delivered and the grilled cheese is burnt and cold And why is my little cup of tomato basil soup only 1/4 full??? It looked like you filled it and the poured it back out . My roommate says hers is exactly the same. Shame on the quality and quantity.
Person who took our order was friendly and professional but when they had to fix an issue with the promo they needed a manager who wasn't around and couldn't be found. We just paid the full price as we were tired of waiting but then couldn't find any clean tables. Just ended up wiping one down myself. Disappointing.
These folk clearly don’t like their jobs. Ask for to go, and they clearly don’t listen. Ask for a lid for my drink, they’re out and have a dirty drink station. The girl looks me dead in my eye, ask me if I ordered a dessert, I confirm. And she bags up the rest of my food, failing to put in the dessert she just asked me about……chiiiiiiiile
The cashier was not trained. I asked for the bagel pack, she looked at me like I am an alien. At the end, she charged me half dozen twice to make it a dozen. On top of that, she was wearing that type of long nails, so took her quite some effort to put on gloves. Bagel was good as usual. But definitely need some professional training there.
I usually go to a different location but we came to the one in Lincoln Heights. We started with bad service. I had to repeat our order about multiple times and then when I checked the receipt she still had it wrong. When I explained this to the manager who was also preparing the food she was very uninterested and gave an excuse and had an annoyed attitude. I thought we had fixed everything and received my order. I began to prepare my child’s little Turkey sandwich when I noticed the dirt on the cheese and took it out and was going to give him one of my slices of cheese but when I opened my sandwich I noticed a hair. At this point I was worried for our health and asked for refund. The same manager with short curly hair once again was not apologetic , empathetic, nothing. She was very dry and her only words after i showed her the food was Ok, What do you want me to do ? We did get a refund but I just wanted the company to know that their business is not in good hands and may want to look into things.
