    Well on 12/16 it was my first time to go to Panera and will be my last probably. I ordered the broccoli cheese bowl after I ordered it I had waited about 7-10 min only to have the girl tell me they were out of cheddar broccoli soup and I would have to wait 2hrs, she said I could order something else or get a refund, so I took the refund because I wasn't going to wait and went to KFC instead.

    25 minutes for an easy pick two. Bacon on BLT cold and soggy. Didn’t get side with order, had to go back I was here four days ago and the order was actually screwed up twice if that’s possible. Simply because the cashier was not listening.

    We had a Turkey & Chedder and Bacon-Turkey Bravo sandwiches with Creamy Tomato Soup. The sandwiches and soup were good, but he extra bread on the side was too hard. The environment wasn't as good as I expect from Panera. They weren't even slightly busy and we passed sitting at two or three booths that didn't appear to have clean tables. There were small pieces of paper that remained, indicating that they weren't cleaned after the previous guests. Also, when I went to pick up our order, there were two flies walking around on the same countertop. Not exactly what you expect or want to see in late October, or anytime really. What happened to the microwave in the customer area? I like that convenience so I can re-heat a warm beverage or soup to my preference.

    Ordered online for drive thru pick up at 1:30pm , my food was supposed to be ready by 1:41pm, I got in line at that time and waited an additional 20 minutes, made me late. I ordered a turkey sandwich with Mac and cheese, which there was no fork or spoon provided and not a single napkin. The Mac & cheese was also over cooked mush. Will not be back.
