- LKLarry KaplanNov 15, 20252.0Absolutely question how often floor is moped, backs of booths are not sanitary— horrible — month 3 and place should be tagged by Health Department
- DSDavid SimmonsNov 2, 20255.0Half Chicken Salad Sandwich with Half Walnut Chicken Salad and onion and cherry tomatoes and vinegarette dressing with goat cheese sprinkles....Well Done 👍
- MSMiddle SisterOct 25, 20251.0Will never order takeout again!!! Salad, a "whole" was very small, side of baguette was rubbery. Very disappointing ☹️
- TSTruth SeekerOct 21, 20253.0During my last visit, the cashier was a bit brash, but she was extremely efficient, which was a definite plus for this Panera location. The food was as expected, except for the black bean soup. I had never tried the black bean soup and was quite excited that they had it on the menu. The soup was thick and should’ve been tasty, but all I could taste was the over abundance of sodium. I ended up throwing it away because it was just too overwhelmingly salty. Hope they can work on the cleanliness as well and I don’t understand how around dinner time, they always seem to be out of many of their offerings, which is quite annoying.
