    Lol. This was $22. Damn, I used to love Panera when I went in my hometown. But Panera has been bought up by private equity and it shows. Save $15 bucks and get a premade sandwich at a grocery store instead. Or if you want a better, local sandwich with quality ingredients, then go to snarf's

    I paid 12 dollars for a tiny sandwich, inside the tiny half of a sandwich was one single chunk of chicken that im not even kidding was like a piece of rubber. I couldn't even pull it apart. Ive never had chicken that texture. I had to take it out and just eat the sandwich with no meat since it was expensive.

    Ciabatta dipper comes with little to no sauce. When I asked a server about this, he responded “Dawg, that’s how it comes…”

    The broccoli cheddar is surprisingly nice. I had it in a breadbowl and that made me quite happy. It seemed like the folks working were really working hard (maybe too hard, schedule one or two more people on Sundays for these guys!) and they were really friendly.

    The only reason I continue to go to Panera is that there are no other fast food restaurants that sell decent soup. Decent, not great. The food is mid. They WILL give you the wrong order, so check it before you leave. Often out of menu items/ingredients as well. As soon as I find quick takeout soup elsewhere, I will no longer be a Panera customer.
