- VAVonEric AbernathyNov 10, 20251.0DO NOT EAT HERE. This is by far the most filthy restaurant I have ever visited — and I gave them at least six chances over the course of a month. The dining room floors are consistently dirty and never vacuumed, and the men’s restroom is worse than a truck stop. You can smell the urine from outside the door. I called three separate times to report the issue to management, but each manager dismissed my concern, suggesting it was just a missed cleaning. That’s simply not true. Anyone with common sense can tell the difference between a single missed cleaning and ongoing neglect. I could never eat in a place with such unsanitary restrooms. I even explained that I lead a local group of 12 preachers who were planning to meet there weekly, but the conditions drove them away. Despite my repeated requests for improvement, nothing changed. There has been body hair on the floor and dried feces on the toilet for at least three of my visits over the span of a month — absolutely unacceptable. There is no way any employee who’s entered that restroom could be unaware of its condition. SAD and extremely disappointing.

- HSHannah SimSep 13, 20255.0I came into this Panera recently and was really impressed with the service. My order was taken quickly, and everything came out fresh and exactly as I asked. The employee who helped me, Isela, was especially kind and attentive when I asked about some of the items on the menu. She greeted me warmly and checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. You don’t always get that kind of friendliness at fast casual spots, so I wanted to write about it. The restaurant itself had outlets everywhere and lots of seating. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location.
- ABAlexander B.Sep 12, 20253.0Listen, it's a Panera. You're never going to get what you pay for. I'm just writing this review because the staff are friendly here, the place is clean and well-managed, and it's nobody's fault they have subpar ingredients to work with. I do remember coming here often during Killer Lemonade Summer. God I loved that lemonade. I think my bloodstream was 50% Panera Killer Lemonade at some point. And you know what? Even though I lost a foot, I'm proud of it.
