    I spent $35 on 2 sandwiches. There is there is barely any meat on them and as small as heck. I guess if I want a real sandwich. I need to keep going to Jimmy John's. If anything the amount of meat they give, they should up their prices and people would still buy it. But anyway, I was very unhappy. And this is what I got. I'm gonna try to include a picture if I can figure out how to do it. But I will not be going there again. I mean, if you got a little appetite and you got a big wallet, then I guess you can go all you want, but I sure aint.

    We decided to come here one day after a day of shopping and it was decent. Not the friendliest employees, no one greeted us or even talked to us besides when they called our names for our food. The food portion was disappointing considering we ordered bowls of soup and cup portions. Facility could use some cleaning and attention for sure. I wouldn’t come out of my way to come back here.

    I love Panera. Consistently good on most things. I do wish they could serve the grilled cheese more toasted like they used to. It was so much better. And even though I like cheese it almost has too much on it. I think the bread not being very toasted is what makes so much cheese not good. Sometimes the bread is almost white with no brown whatsoever as if it was warmed in a microwave long enough to melt the cheese. I will say other Paneras seem to make it better. This one did in the past.

    I always loved this place because they working fast and making really good salads. But my last two visits wasn't that great. This Monday (October 13th) I ordered Green Goddess Cobb Salad as it's my favorite and there is was no avocado in it, and no sauces at all. Also it was huge not eatable parts of the cabbage or whatever it was. I didn't eat it because it's not suppose to be eaten. On the next day I got this salad again, and luckily I got sauces and avocado in this salad this time. But this huge pieces of cabbage were there again and it was just ewwww. I know that you doing a great job guys and I love your place, so please just check who forgets put items in the salad and put uneatable parts in it. Thanks!

    Very upset with the service tonight. The girl in the Drive-Thru gave my order to the car before me then ask for the customer to give her the food back and tells me that I have to take the food because the customer didn't open the bag when I spoke to her about food service and about covid and the flu she got an attitude with me. Very bad experience
