- JBJosh BaileyOct 3, 20255.0Matthew Garcia is my favorite employee at this establishment. One time, I went on a date here and she didn't actually finish her food but Matthew made my food and it was absolutely delicious. Service was quick, and costs were really good even though I paid for 2 meals. Would bring a date here again as long as she finishes her food and Matthew makes the food 😂
- ABAl BeOct 2, 20251.0Help me find ANY TRACE of chicken in this $19 chicken sandwich. Just any.
- CCcharles ChoiJul 29, 20251.0we always love this place for a very long time, but recently my orders haven’t been correct, wrong food item, or missing item. today i used the mobile app and ordered for pickup but my whole order was incorrect so i was a little dissatisfied and disappointed on the service and food. My order number: 6051715954506835. I asked for no pecan but there was extra pecans on my salad. It also came with sauce for the salad but there was no salad sauce. i hope to have a better experience with panera bread.
- UUUsJul 2, 20255.0We love this Panera Bread location and my husband and I eat here about once a week. It is always clean and you are always greeted upon entering. There are plenty of tables inside and outside, we like having the options. Our food is always so good and we feel that you get very good size portions. One of my favorite things is how easy it is too order through the app and the customizations you can do. We appreciate you all and see you soon! =)
- FHFaheem HayatMay 28, 20254.0The staff member that we dealt with made us repeat our order 5 times. Too little attention span. They need better employees in the front.
