    Panera bread used to be so good. So good! But now it's disgusting. I got the French dip. I love a French dip, but this was disgusting. I took 1 bite and spit it out. That's not real meat. I took it back, & told the manager it was so gross I immediately spit it out in my napkin. I asked for a bowl of soup instead, & the mgr gave me a bowl of soup. I was very thankful for that. He said next time I can ask for the "meat" to be cooked longer. I wish I would've told him my thoughts at that moment. No, it doesn't matter how long you cook that stuff that resembles meat. No matter what u do to that lab grown meat it'll always be disgusting. They charge way too much for food that isn't even real meat!!!!

    Dirty. Dishes piled up on return area. Manager and someone else just talking and looking at mess. Food took over 20 minutes. Slow for soup and sandwich. Got tired of looking at mess so I started cleaning it up and stacking dishes. Still no response from manager. Finally an employee said thanks.

    Was completely ignored for 10 mins when walking in to pick up order. No rush afterwards on getting the order to me. In fact, the guys seemed quite content on taking their time after I inquired on the order. Very unorganized team and they all looked confused. Customer service is customer service regardless of dining in, ordering to go, or picking up an order. No one likes being ignored.

    Got too good to go order. I never tried it before but I drove like 20 mins to get here. She gave me the stalest pastries and three little things all gross tasting. And two were the same thing. I kind of want my money back. This was not worth it
