    Ordered the You Pick 2 a couple of weeks ago. No croutons or cheese in French Onion soup, and tuna sandwich had a bitter metallic taste. I called, spoke to a manager named "emily" she told me she would email me a gift card. Never received anything. Panera is overpriced. They mess up your order and serve processed crap. I paid over $44.00 bucks for lunch for myself and my husband! I could have had a sit down meal at a nice restaurant for this price. Let's boycott these corporate overpriced, bad food, and bad service restaurants. It's a shame how expensive and downhill Panera has gotten.

    Avocado and spinach were not fresh in the variety of sandwiches we got. Otherwise it was okay. Pricing for portion size is a tragedy. It is way too overpriced.

    I had a pick up order for a value duet meal. Comes with half of a turkey and cheddar and a cup of chicken and wild rice soup. I love that soup! However, I got home, opened up the bag, and it's chicken noodle freakin' soup! NOPE! You had one job!! Called the store and the manager is "out". Ha!
