Panera Bread

The food, love their pick 2 for lunch, live their soups, French onion, pumpkin harvest soup, broccoli cheddar, absolutely delicious. Self service for the most part, I don't care for that, but people are still friendly and helpful.

This location was a pleasant surprise! It’s a cozy spot to sit and relax, with everything looking clean and well-kept. The large parking lot made access super easy, and while the staff kept to themselves, they were clearly focused and efficient. Compared to a different Panera I visited—where things felt a bit neglected—this one stood out as well-run and cared for. Definitely a refreshing change of pace. Also, they have a nice outdoor eating area.

Never go wrong with Panera bread sandwiches, add a few new items that was a must already. Good place for a quick lunch

Made a great sandwich. The cabrese only criticism is put more paper wrap around it. It's so juicy and drippy or always put it in a plate even to go

It was my first time in this location and Tyler was friendly and very helpful. I will be back because of him.

I normally go to this Panera pretty frequently but today (11/23/2024) the service was so good. The young lady who rung up our order was very polite and there was a young man who offered to grab our dishes when we were done with our food. Food came out fast.

I came here to grab some lunch.And it was very good nice and hot.

The food is fresh and healthy. Mainly sandwiches & soups. Homemade pastries. I love their green tea.

Came to this location since it was rated higher than the others. Atmosphere and service was top notch, super chill vibes to hangout or grab a quick bite. I found the soups were not very hot when served, would’ve preferred to have them hotter especially to go with a cold sandwich. Would still try their other menu items and other soups given the atmosphere.

Food is yummy, line is long though, all the ordering tablets are not working.

I had been in the Paneras in Chicago. I just didn't know the menus would be so different. The choices in this location are minimal. I got a two item entre which included chicken soup, cheese macaroni and bread. When it came to my table I was shocked by the tiny portions. It felt like I was having a snack. The macaroni was good. The soup was watery and not hearty. And the bread was cold. Good thing the food was not overly salty. The staff was friendly though. The total lunch bill, including tax and tips, was close to $14 which is more than I want to pay for lunch. I really should have walked next to Chipotle.

I ordered a large bowl of soup. They only gave me a half of what they used to give. When asked, the server insisted she did by the rules and didn’t seem to care. Why so I order a large bowl again? I feel ripped off.

The sandwhich was made terribly. Ordered my son a grilled cheese and was headed home to eat with him. His sandwich had half a brick of cheese and 3 or 4 bacon bits. See pics. That was $3 extra worth of bacon.

EDIT: This location needs improvement. Today I had my husband pick up a to go order for chicken noodle soup, a turkey bacon sandwich, and blueberry muffin. As you can see from the pictures, there was more lettuce on it than anything else! I picked most of it off because it was way too much! There was hardly any bacon at all, and again, from the pictures, the only piece of bacon I found was mostly fat. Hardly any turkey and super small piece of gouda cheese that didn't even cover the slice of bread! For the prices they charge, this is completely unacceptable! They better step it up on their food prep before they start losing customers. I won't continue to pay high prices for crappy food. Overall, Panera is a good, healthy place to eat. Their breads are good, and they have the best blueberry muffin ever. Recently I made an online order for two southwest chicken broth bowls. I did not care for it at all, and neither did my husband. There are other good food items on the menu though, and they have a nice assortment. Also, the online order system is really fast and easy. My order was ready in 10 minutes and waiting in a special section when I walked in. Since you pay online, you can just walk in and get it without any interaction with employees, which makes it even faster. I'll definitely use that again. I also joined the rewards program and got a free pastry since I just joined.

Internet service will be less than 5MB/s here. Also note, you will pay full price and get half servings! SAD SAD SAD. Yes I asked the manager to reset the router, she cannot do that. Yes I asked for a full bowl, they can’t do that either? Huh-SAD
