    Although they did not have the Veterans Day special (free bagel and coffee), the asst manager Beth went above and beyond to provide excellent service and offered the free bagel and coffee to a veteran… will definitely return here on another occasion…

    Got a Cesar salad last night for dinner. Was disappointed with the salad. A lot of the white part of the lettuce was in it. There was not a lot of green lettuce. I even had the white core part that you take out in my salad. For the price I think we need to do better with these salads. More green lettuce less white.

    When my gift certificate runs out, I won't be back. French onion soup is about the best they do. Was there today and my chicken and rice soup was water and vegetables. My dipper sandwich which was "limited time only" was mostly just bread, and it only took 20 minutes

    My elderly husband and I came in at 7pm out of the rain and after a long drive. We were hungry. After purchasing just over $35.00 on sandwiches and a soup, I requested some extra dip for the large French Dipper sandwich and was refused by both an employee AND the restaurant manager. I was told I could purchase a soup to use as dip, but no additional dip would be given to me. The large French Dipper sandwich came with a cup filled 1/3 of the way, barely enough to dip HALF the sandwich. What a shame to be both shorted dip AND refused more to enjoy the sandwich as it was designed to be eaten and enjoyed. Very disappointing!

    Great drinks & food, but MOST DIFFICULT drive-thru to enter. Silly. And OF COURSE....Panera is the only drive-thru chain that lets people order full meals and hold up the line, instead of asking them to pull forward when they have to make a steak dinner or complicated order. Every other chain asks people to move forward.
