- RGRobert GardnerJan 16, 20261.0Dining room was busy as usual and nasty as usual. Carpets are nasty and tables were not wiped off. The cashier unfortunately had no idea what she was doing, could have been new. I ordered my usual, chicken salad on a croissant, bowl of broccoli and cheddar. My wife had the soup and an Italian, which she couldn't eat because the bread would have ripped her mouth to shreds. My croissant was cold as ice and the chicken salad appeared different than normal. It also looked similar to cat food. Soup was consistent which I'm sure they don't actually make. My lettuce was severely brown on the edges and unfortunately we were super hungry this day and I didn't return it. Drinks were also not mixed properly. This is actually the first time we've had a bad experience at any location, with the exception of the dining room conditions. My intentions are to hopefully allow the managers to make improvements as needed. We shall see.
- PLPat LebertDec 24, 20253.0Breakfast ok but got mine wrong.
- ABAngelia BowdreDec 22, 20253.0The food was tasty, and I’m glad I tried it! The portions were smaller than I expected, and the 3-pack dessert wasn’t quite as big as I imagined, but overall it was a nice experience. I’m hopeful they’ll keep improving and offer something even more satisfying in the future, but overall it was a nice experience. 🙌👍
- KBKyle BowenDec 21, 20251.0This was our first time eating any Panera Bread. I was highly disappointed. The young lady who took our order was very polite, but everything went down from there. The dinning area and drink station were not clean. (I did not take a photo of the dinning area out of courtesy to other customers) The amount of food for the price was insulting. Needless to say we won't be having Panera Bread in the future.
- VVVeeOct 6, 20255.0Okay, so I think he said his name was Luke, but there was an employee that was absolutely amazing today! It was something simple over a decaf coffee but he was so kind and funny that my whole Panera experience was wonderful. So if his name isn't Luke, to the guy who wore a blue flannel on 10/06, you made my day with that decaf coffee and your charming personality. To Panera, KEEP HIM.
