    Prices are too high. Food is eh. I do like the atmosphere and the plugs at the tables for charging.

    Fifth car in line and wait over 30 minutes. Finally get to order a tea. Get to the window and they left me sitting there. After waiting that long for just a tea?!? You can see the employee standing right there and she couldn't serve one tea after that long of a wait? I just drove off. Panera is slipping on several issues. Skimpy bacon sandwich ( 1 piece), you're lucky if you get 2 thin slices of beef on a sadwich and pretty much out of the popular pastries. Hello, they are popular, stock more! Thanks for nothing.

    After a long wait and spend $51.00 I got horrible sandwich. I had a really disappointing experience. The chicken was dripping water which made bread soggy and unappetizing. The avocado was in very poor condition brown and mushy instead of fresh. Overall it didn’t taste good at all and not worth of price.

    First time trying panera bread and for sure the last me and my significant other got a mac and cheese bowl and barely got any mac in cheese in a big bowl and came with a small pice of bread overall I think this was a rip off especially if your teenage kids eat a lot SMH 🤦‍♀️. And 4 dollars for a medium soda 76 you can get a 1 dollar cup that’s bigger then this “medium” cup 🤦‍♀️. And I almost chocked and no one was in sight or came and asked if i were okay BIG ZERO.
