Panera Bread Turlock Reviews
Very nice place food was great
We ordered the flat bread pizza here. Although it was clean and the workers there were nice, the pizza was JUST NOT IT! We've had this pizza at a Modesto location a number of times and it's been DELICIOUS!!! BUT, NOT HERE! I mean, I appreciate their effort, but it just Was NOT up to par.
Had a small issue with my pick up order, I was dumb and ordered the wrong thing. I called a few minutes before I was supposed to arrive because I noticed last minute like a not so smart person. I called and asked if I could make a change. Denise was delightful with assistance, she provided me with the items I needed changed. Despite it being so last minute they helped me when they did not need to or could have easily refused! Especially on a super busy Sunday! Thank you again Denise for your amazing customer service!
Always delicious! I ordered my 5-year old a grilled cheese sandwich and he didn't like it. I went ahead and ordered him mac and cheese and the cashier lady was kind enough to not charge me. Such a sweet gesture!!
Very clean establishment. It's lovely inside and the Agave Lemonade is to die for. My Hubby loved his sandwich. I wasn't hungry but I will go back again for a sandwich and their Lemonade.💗
I stopped in for breakfast. The place was clean and the staff was very helpful. I don't go to Panera much so I had some questions. My breakfast sandwich and cappuccino were great. It was a little pricey for a quick breakfast but I enjoyed it and will definitely go back again.
Hot sandwiches are so good.
The manager was so helpful. I ordered soup in a bread bowl and it wasn't put down on the order. The manager over heard me asking for my bread bowl and gave it to me, just to make my order right!! And they're turkey sandwiches have real turkey, not slices turkey, and it was straight up 🔥🔥!!
This is my morning spot it has the nicest people working always helpful polite welcoming .There are some employees there that know my phone number and my name even know my order except every once in a while I'll switch it up and order something different I highly recommend this place I have been to other Panera's and get a much colder reception and the service isn't as good but food is always Adequate
Have placed an order With the Panera app and unfortunately, I had made an error with Substituting an item. I was currently having a bad Saturday and I turned to Panera for comfort food. when picking up I acknowledge that I had made a mistake on my end and had brought it up to the cafe artist name Ray Ray. Ray Ray was happy to help me with my order & was able to provide spectacular hospitality Service. I am really happy that Panera has employees that really care about their products their service and help people with care.
I'm a member of the sip club so stop into this location on a somewhat regular basis. I sometimes order in the app and other times at the counter. Every single interaction I've ever had with the folks here has been wonderful. The staff is super friendly and not bothered that I'm just there for a tea or soda. I never have to wait, and everything is always spotless. This might seem minor, but I so appreciate that they always, without exception, have fresh cut lemons in the drink area for tea. It's the little things... It's yes for me and allows me to enjoy taking breaks to grab something to drink. I'm a huge fan of the sip club.
👋 So I've been a sip club member for 4 years I regularly visit panera's in Modesto , on this day I visited Turlock panera and asked for a refilling on my 🍓 Fresca and was told that " WE DONOT GIVE REFILLS FOR THAT DRINK" !! . So I my sip club membership is a big FAIL for turlock. Maybe this establishment I hope should retrain the employee's on customer service. So I returned to Modesto and visited my local Panera and questioned my favorite employee's at McHenry location and they informed me that yes it is a sip membership worthy of refilling. I will be revisiting turlock location in the future to see if customer service on this matter has been investigating and correctly addressed. Thank you for your attention on this matter 🙂
Nice large place. Easy access off of Hwy 99 makes it convenient for meetings. I was disappointed to learn they're not bringing back their seasonal pumpkin muffins; those were excellent.
Great place our sandwiches were fresh & well made.
I had ordered a Smokey Buffalo Chicken sandwich with french loaf as the bread and fountain drink, got potato chips on the sides for free. Overall the Sandwich was okay, portion size could be sufficient for one. Would recommend to wisely select your fountain drink, I found a few of them as pretty disgusting tbh!
Order at the counter, pick up food when ready. Wonderful selection of soup, salads, and sandwiches. Baked goods as well.
Fully recommend because the quality of the food is amazing and the store nice and clean
Great restaurant, clean, WiFi available, Great service, and the food is fantastic.
It seems like a very popular place. Like most panera's the salads are terrific!

I like to go and get a little bite with coffee
I love this location of Panera nice to dine in for lunch or take out for dinner. Me and my family absolutely love their bread bowl entrees and bakery treats!
Panera is great for any occasion. Breakfast, lunch or even a treat. Fresh tea on tap.
Great atmosphere for relax and have a nice little meal. Quality of the food is definitely good and worth the money. Green tea there is my favorite, must try if you haven't already. Staff was super friendly and helpful with getting some green tea ordered to take home as well as finding best selections based on preference. Restaurant is very clean and kept up inside and out. Will certainly return and make routine visits for lunch.
Love my panera! Coffee and bagel , what could be better.
Love this place. Their sandwiches are awesome, great choice of soups and fountain drinks (pomegranate hibiscus ice tea is so delicious). The atmosphere is so relaxing, just a great a place to have lunch. And very clean and friendly.
Everything I had was delicious.Service was good.Atmospher was really nice to.
One of my wifes fav places to eat from. Good bakery goods, good salads, and now they have black bean soup!

Panera has a variety of foods to choose from. There is a variety of sweet along with savory items to choose from. The employees are friendly and the service is quick. I’ve never experienced any issues with quality of the food either. The bagels are good for breakfast and their soups, salads, and quinoa bowls are delicious and filling. This is a fast casual restaurant and I think they do a great job keeping the restaurant cleaned and well maintained. Although they do not have a drive thru, they do offer curbside pick up.
We ordered online. Due to dietary allergies, we had to make some adjustments in what we ordered. It came to us just as we ordered! 😊
Looks good but menu and structure of ordering is confusing and tedious. Quick look paper menu doesn't have prices. Is limited too. Never got the chance to eat there. Your standard list of "variety" salads looks strangely like others " variety" blends. Prices: pompous. Variety of items: snobbish and overrated. Tried to think of a reason to give you a try again, but no. I know of other places that serve unique items with less pretentiousness. And better suited to local wages.
Nice people who work there. I'm a sip club member and like to go sit and work sometimes. I'm not thrilled that the power plugs are covered now, though, which makes it hard to work and sip my coffee. I do love the chicken and wild rice soup. Always crave it! I did try the new strawberry poppyseed salad. It was very yummy!
It’s been very hit or miss with this Panera. One consistent aspect is the front counter cashiers are always friendly and take my order correctly. However in the kitchen is where things get a little tricky. There’s been a few times where my pizza is missing basil or only has 5 small burnt flakes (yeah i’m being serious lol). I order the green goddess melt quite often, one time I ordered two and I received one of them with no Arugula. Easy fix, just went back and had them add it back on. There’s been other times where I was missing an entire sandwich but thankfully I was still in the parking lot. To customers like me if you’re eating to go, please check your bag to save yourself the hassle of driving back. As for the kitchen crew, they’re nice people but seem a bit over worked/ fed up. I think if they slowed down a bit to focus on the details of the order they’d make less mistakes. As for the quality of the food, some greens end up burned/ crispy if they go through the toaster. The soup has always been great, never had an issue with that. The baguettes are pretty hard, like, cut up your mouth and hurts to take a bite hard. But besides that, big thank you to the ladies and gents at the front counter! Very welcoming and attentive to detail.
Usually I am very happy coming to Panera. Today, I ordered a Mango Smoothy. Twice I took a drink and plastic came up through the straw. I brought it up to the food counter, and the guy immediately fixed me a new one, without plastic!!! Beyond that, the size of the cup is 4 1/4" compared to their small, which is 5 1/2" tall. That's quite a blunder on the part of Panera to charge $6.89 for a very small portion of Mango Smoothy. I didn't like that. Plus, it's dang freezing in here!!!!

First time at this location. First impression fell short. Service was fine, but not very personable. Restaurant seemed a little unkempt, especially the floors they were filthy. Food I'll say was just ok. Kind of just thrown on the plate. Wasn't what I expected for a Panera Bread.

Healthy and tasty food! Got fullsandwich with added avocado for 99 cents. My sandwich was the size of a half sandwich! Very disappointing. I got a small slice and a half of pithy avocado. My table was dirty and I was directed to wipes to clean it! Chicken breast was dry and deep fried different than shown on board...Served with small bag of chips and not given choice...my total bill over $15! Will not be going back...
Very frustrated with my past visit. I always get the value meal and ask to switch the bread for an apple cause I won’t eat the bread and they always do it for me. This past time they told me no and that it was company policy not to switch, I asked if that was new and they said no, they’re just enforcing it more. If it’s always been company policy, then everyone should follow that and not make exceptions because then it leads to customer confusion and dissatisfaction.
Although food is good.. correct orders matter most. And this is the 3rd time I've ordered the Mexican Corn Chowder and they've gotten it wrong. Mind you, it's only been out recently..which should tell you how often I've been to Panera or ordered this soup in the last 3 weeks. 3x out of 5x they get it wrong. And of course I don't learn to stop and check my order.. the other 2x I checked and it was correct. I don't check this time and boom.. they don't forget to disappoint you when you're really looking forward to it. Which makes this review so much more helpless. They take the order and then the kitchen mess it up!!! Infuriating when you live across town, and it's already 630pm, you don't want to drive back!
The office ordered lunch and even though our order was mostly correct, the Quality Control for our order was less than what we normally get. One of our side-dishes was an expired apple, as if they didn't care and just gave it.

The food is really good when you order inside of the store, any time I order online, the food is either wrong or just very poorly cooked and just thrown together. Today they clearly pulled cheese off my sandwich because I ordered it without cheese. You cannot remove the flavor of cheese from an egg, it stays even after you finger it to get all the cheese off. Absolutely pathetic employees cooking or putting together online orders here.

Very discriminatory against people who stay longer than 20 minutes. Would not recommend studying here. Management like this is very justifiable towards canceling SipClub permanently. $12/month is not worth dealing with threats from some power tripped manager.
the food is good as long as you don't order to go. i ordered a salad to go along with couple of sandwiches asked for no tomato's guess what they forgot the salad and gave me tomato's. people make mistakes that's OK but when the manager doesn't even apologize or offer to make good that's just terrible service. sad thing is this all happened after i had just explained on my previous order to go i had received soggy bread literally wet all the way through like uncooked.
They didn't have the item on their order kiosk that my wife ordered, which many other panera's have figured out how to put sold out, so this isn't an issue. They weren't very kind to us about it and didn't tell us until we went up to get our order. Then they were trying to just get us to order something else so they didn't have to refund us, and they did this in a really gross way.
Asked NO DAIRY in my salad and they gave me a salad with dairy and when I said what’s this dressing on top…I asked for balsamic. They said it’s a yogurt drizzle. I asked to have it remade and the man behind the kitchen counter gave me the dirtiest look and didn’t want to do it. The lady next to him was happy to remake it. Not very nice service
Me and my mother have been coming here for 2 years now and still get stared at everytime we come it and he is creeping us out. If you can fix the man harassing us we would feel more comfortable in our town . Stop the dirty looks and the judging too.
Placed an order through DoorDash. Ordered a chicken balsamic green salad, pulled pork sandwich with 2 brownies and 2 baguettes. Salad came with no chicken. Pork sandwich came with minimal pork. Basically 2 slices of bread with a couple spoons of meat. Looked nothing like the picture. Instead of my 2 brownies I received 2 cookies with a note on the wrapper that said “sorry for the inconvenience”. Only received 1/2 baguettes This was my first and last time I order here again. Unbelievable how it’s that difficult to get such a basic order right.

Lately, my experience at Panera has been a mixed bag compared to what it used to be. In past visits, the food tasted fresher and portions felt generous for the price, but recently I’ve noticed both quality and quantity seem to have dipped. Sandwiches and soups sometimes come out colder or less flavorful than expected, and salads that once felt hearty now feel skimpy in toppings and protein. It’s frustrating when the menu still carries premium prices but the portions don’t match what you remember from even a couple of years ago.
Food is okay, but more times than not my order is incorrect. I order online and have multiple issues with incorrect items. Staff is not very helpful or friendly. 3 people walked past me before someone asked what I was picking up.
Should have read delivery reviews terrible! Missing one soup, called Panera they said I have to re order my one missing soup then call em back to get my refund 🤦 figured 20 % gratuity would get me taken care of... Nope!
