I ordered from this store on Uber Eats. BeWARe!! Youll waste hard earned money because this store says they are not liable for the food quality or service they give to customers who order delivery. So, we ordered three bread bowls 13 each. Fruit cups 3 each. Smoothies 8 each. Totalling to almost 100 dollars (same cost as eating at Spurriers if you will) and what we recieved was disgusting. Three small cups of gross soup that might have sat our for days. Chunks of ice in these so called smoothies, which only the strawberry banana tasted okay and not watered down, and alot of the fruit is unripe. This business is terrible. The manager wont do anything about it. They said to tell Uber eats to get a refund. I did. And they refunded five dollars out of almost a hundred. Not even covering a quarter of the drivers tip... yeah oh I missed the best part of my bread bowls and bread stick... THERE WAS NO BREAD. Its like they dont even check the order, they dont
Confirm the contents. They will theow some stuff in a bag and call it a day. This Panera is disgusting and a waste of money. Save yourself the stress of this place.

Stephanie should be recognized for her great customer service! Not only was she very pleasant, but when the wind blew a dollar out of hands during payment exchange, she almost came out of the window trying to help catch it (we caught it).

This Panera bread is at a convenient location less than a mile away from the interstate. We like the Panera rewards that adds up to free stuff like a side chips or cookies. When parking at this location watch out for limited spots in the front, additional spots available on the side by the auto shop.
