    The grilled cheese is delicious, much better than the popular ‘cheese specialty’ restaurant. It’s disappointing that they discontinued my favorite teriyaki chicken bowl especially after discontinuing my other favorite bowl years ago. But that’s a corporate issue. Go early to get a kitchen sink cookie because they sell out fast. I also don’t recommend the MLK store. It’s closer to us but we drive to this location due to the service and lack of selection at MLK.

    If you want a good morning/afternoon/evening, do not go to this place 🙂 If you want to make somewhere on time, do not go to this place. Genuinely such bad service. Waiting for 20 mins in drive thru for a bagel is genuinely diabolical. Additionally, their salads are extremely underpacked. Please don’t go to this location! Trust when I say the food is not worth the bad service!!! The employees genuinely do not care, and they will give you attitude….

    I've been to the panera in springdale and rogers. But Fayetteville has the absolute best crew. Always positive, always professional, and timely service. My man on the food line in the mornings is the best when ur craving a toasted Italiano. If the manager sees this let your staff know how much u appreciate them.

    Don’t order a sweet tea, at least in the drive-thru, you’ll get an unsweetened tea instead

    This location has terrible service and they don’t even care. I have had more than several experiences like this but this week it happened twice. The first time, my food was never put on the shelf until an employee asked if I was waiting for something. The bag that sat there for 20 minutes AFTER the app said it was ready? Yes that is mine. Employee shoved it in my hand, no apologies what so ever. After doing the survey someone reached out and offered a pick two and bakery item. That was nice. Today I put my order in at 11:38am, app said it would be ready at 11:47am. Got an alert they were running behind. At 12:03pm the app notified me the order was ready. 12:08pm they finally called my name. Thirty minutes for a sandwich and half sandwich/half salad. I emailed them back about my experience. They blamed it on being a game day and how busy it was. It was not busy at that time. Neither the parking lot nor dining area were anywhere near full. Employees are standing around looking clueless and management obviously does not care that it is a constant problem. You have to show up minimum of 10 minutes after it says your food is ready if you want any chance of it actually being ready, even then it is iffy. I like the fact there are a lot of things not added in the food but, it is not worth the lack of service. Done with them.
