    if I could give a LOT more stars, I would proudly with no hesitation! long story short my husband took our daughter to the ER (negative on RSV n Covid) but deep nasty cough that no parent wants to hear. Doctor recommended a good bowl of chicken noodle and my mind went straight to Panera bread(is a huge favorite of mine especially when I was pregnant with our daughter). There is less than 10 minutes before closing and they hadn't even been given medicine or discharged. I called ahead and explained what was going on if they had any chicken noodle available if they'd mind waiting a while longer past closing. No hesitation and arms wide open gave me instructions in what to have my ride do as I was home with our other child. HUGE THANK YOU not only for the delicious classic but for the best customer service in going past expectations in your job title as employee/manager.

    I love Panera but this is the only location I wait about 28 minutes in for my 30 minute lunch. I'm highly upset bc I keep trying to trust them to do better and they always take forever. EVEN if my order was placed ahead of time. Theres not a lot of places for lunch in Porterville so I do hope this can change soon for this location.

    Hit or miss… unreliable with order accuracy across different visits ( not just a one time thing!) …lucky if you get your order right…
