    Been going to this place for years, and months go by i see this place becoming more of a slum! Sticky floors, the floors are so sticky that I hear me and my husband’s foot steps. RIDICULOUS. ESPECIALLY the bathroom floors. Hair always on the toilet seat. One of the line cooks never have a hair net on which is health code violation. This panera location looks like it’s being ran by kids, I hardly see a manger in sight. I’m so appalled. Things aren’t the same, and what I mean by the “same” as clean as it USED TO BE.I really hope this place become presentable as it used to be.

    Was very disappointed in this Panera Bread. Came here a few weeks ago. Got two different sandwiches, a salad and bowl of Mac and cheese. Nothing was good at all. Sandwiches were horrible. The salad was ok. Mac and cheese was watered down cheese. Not what I’m used to when I go to other locations. Was a real disappointment. Spoke to a manager and they just shrugged it off.

    Feel the need to call this out as I left totally frustrated. Went for lunch, ordered soup and sandwich w piece of bread. Got chips instead of bread and brought chips up and asked for bread, she said bread was still in oven. Ok fine. Went back to my table and 5 min later woman next to me walks up w her plate and there’s bread so I figured it was done. Went back up and asked and woman was very rude and said there’s no bread. Watched everyone else have bread. What’s soup without bread. Just left frustrated.
