    We come here often but I realize the sun beams down but it's just so hot in here, you need to put some air or fans on for circulation. Hot stale air is not healthy for food or humans. Also most of your employees are nice, but some don't talk at all when your on ordering. It's like talking to a wall. Sorry

    FILTHY! Unfortunately this place was pretty filthy. I couldn't find a single table that had been wiped and it wasn't even during a rush...it was 3:30pm. I final found a semi dirty table (see photo). The spoon they gave me for my soup was really filthy (see photo). Food was ok, but not worth the price. Frontega chicken sandwich had maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken at best. Chicken with rice had minimal chicken. Not impressed and I'm hoping I don't get sick. If their prep area is as filthy as rhe silverware and table, I will be spending the night in the bathroom from the results. Panera...you can do better. You advertise "clean" food, but you're extremely dirty.

    No thank you! The young cashier with blonde hair, I didn’t catch her name but I’m sorry if you don’t like your job then why are you even working? You were absolutely RUDE with everything! I cancelled my order told the manager which did nothing go figure. You are the most cleanest Panera bread I have been to but never again. Sad how 1 rude cashier can make me and my family cancel a food order for dine in to just go somewhere else. And to the manager do better!! Sunday at 12:30 pm
