- AOADRIANA ORTEGAOct 30, 20251.0Showed up just before 8pm and they were closed due to not being properly staffed. It's been an issu at this location since they opened. Also, if you come in within 2 hours of closing it is highly likely that you will get a watered down soup. Very unfortunate, given their steep prices on soups and sandwiches.
- AOAntonio O'CampoOct 18, 20255.0I've been to at least 10 different Paneras throughout California, and they have always been just ok. But this location in particular was the absolute best Panera I have ever had. The bread was fresh and fluffy even at 7:30pm. The food had far better flavor, everything was prepared correctly, and it looked good and not just thrown together. My expectations for a Panera have forever changed. Bread bowl was crisp but the inside was fluffy. Each bite of the turkey bravo you could taste every ingredient individually, not just one mashup of the same taste. I hope it's always as good as it was here.
- ELErik LehmanSep 16, 20254.0I like their French onion soup. It's very good
- ADAnthony DemarinisSep 10, 20251.0Picked up a bowl of Broccoli Cheese soup and I was given a bowl of colored water and 2 small pieces of broccoli. Called the Manager who advised when he returned from lunch he saw the soup was watery and threw it away and refunded the cost. All good but are the employees so stupid that they didn’t notice the soup was of poor quality? I don’t know how much they get paid per hour but they are a clueless bunch. I’m glad I didn’t leave a tip! I will never go back to Panera in Riverbank. Hold people or businesses accountable maybe they’ll get better employees to control quality!
