- LLLindseyOct 27, 20251.0Waiting in line for over 30 minutes is a little ridiculous for a bowl of soup, even if you order ahead on the app you have to wait in the drive through for an awful amount of time.
- 222DUOct 6, 20253.0We had lunch at Panera on 86th Street and the service was so slow. We inquired about the delay after 25 minutes of waiting, and were told they had many orders ahead of us. The restaurant was almost empty. Then we find out they are filling online orders ahead of customers actually in the restaurant. You need to take care of people who are there first.
- NMNancy MeyerAug 27, 20255.0Great place to eat 😋
- SJSusan JohnsonAug 27, 20251.0I had what has to be the world's worst grilled cheese sandwich at the Panera in Urbandale this afternoon. It was dry bread with a couple of slices of Kraft American cheese. I was starving and didn't want to waste it so I did eat it. Come on Panera. For almost 10 bucks you can do better. Oh yeah it was also cold.
- DWDenise WilliamAug 13, 20255.0Love Panera. Great deals on food. Install the app to get coupons. Mondays always have a coupon deal. I love that I can pre-order through the app and pick it up myself. My order is always spot on. Thanks Panera for a great app experience every time.
