- VFVirginia Fitzpatrick1 day ago2.0The mac and cheese is worth it and so was the coffee, but everything else is not. I got two sandwiches and they both were just a mountain of bread with 2 peices of meat, and no cheese, and theg forgot a few ingredients on both. I got two soups and they were both very very bland, and looked watered downm The broccoli cheddar soup tasted like there was no cheddar in it at all, and wasn't creamy in the slightest, I was the only order they had inside, but it still took so long and the food was mediocre. The tables were also dirty and sticky. There was no one in the front to help me, as it was my first time here and I didn't want to order on the tablets, but that's the only option inside.
- SWSidney Williams1 day ago4.0It’s no reason why every time I come here there are no soufflé is ready if y’all know people like them especially the bacon and spinach. Why not make more? Why is there always 20 minute wait
- JBJennifer Barnett2 days ago2.0Ordered the chicken and wild rice soup and was so disappointed. It was very goopy, I could hardly tell what was even chicken & the flavor was just not good.
- KLKorea K LaarianOct 30, 20255.0Lockland has amazing customer service! I was upset with the location at first and in the midst of me writing a negative review his patience and understanding was great he even helped us when we wanted to change the order very grateful for his presence at this location. While other employees saw us and kept walking he as well as Jazz made sure to take our order and ensure we got what we wanted. They changed the experience just that quickly!
- SNSuzanne NemethOct 26, 20252.0I'm not sure what's going on with this location, but they have been subpar with long waits, food outages, unstocked/dirty dining rooms and restrooms for a few months now. I frequent three different Panera locations often asa place to dine while doing some work on my computer, and this location used to be just fine. I'm here now, and I think I'm finally going to give up on this location and stick to the Lawrenceville-Suwanee and Sugarloaf locations. I waited 47 minutes tonight for an order that was simply a bowl of soup, a pomegranate tea, and 3 macaroons, and even when my order was finally at the counter, I had to go back to the front to ask for my macaroons (something this location always makes people do that the others do not). A crowd of people are waiting for their meals, but otherwise the dining room is quite empty. 2 out of 3 stalls in the ladies room were out of toilet paper when I went in about 20 minutes ago. I'm not sure if the dad state of this Panera is due to a short-staffing issue, management issue, or ? I'm done with this particular location, though, at least for a good long while.
