- KCK ChristopherJan 30, 20265.0This location must be under new management or something; the food this past time we went was great! I'm so thankful it's trending up because I love Panera!
- VHV HotJan 14, 20262.0Today they clearly skimped on the croutons; it's easy to see if you compare my picture to the picture in the menu. Today they clearly skimped on the croutons; you can easily see that if you compare my picture with the picture on the menu. I buy this dish often, and this is the first time this has happened.
- SDSherlyn DoigJan 3, 20265.0Stephen, the manager, goes above and beyond! Everything but the kitchen sink cookies are the best cookies I’ve ever had in my entire existence!
- DFDana FiguraNov 30, 20253.0Very bleh experience. They got my order wrong in multiple ways then when I asked for cream cheese on my bagel they said I had to go back to re-order and pay for it. Seems petty to me.
- BSBailey SamsonNov 15, 20251.0This review is not to reflect on the employees as they were perfectly fine. I will start by saying I haven’t been inside a Panera for years. It is absolutely ridiculous how minimal the human interaction is. I have to take my own order, or wait for an employee because there is not enough staff and I have to bus my own table yet the quality consistently declines and prices rise. On top of that, the food is barely passing as warm. The workers are doing the best they can with a full restaurant, minimal staff and minimum wage.
