Panera is up to their old tricks again,! The take out salads are so small now like before. Not worth the money. It just doesn't make since. They did this once before. Maybe they thought we would forget! Nope! Panera is expensive! I want my money's worth and this was not it!
Then my order was wrong. I asked for broccoli cheese soup and got Mac and cheese instead. I lived too far to take it back. Further it tastes like the Kraft Blue Box Mac and cheese. Definitely doing the drive through. I will take my money down the street to establishments that value take out customers hard earned money.

The third time where I’ve came and picked up a Uber Eats order and they had me wait 5-20 minutes each time and all times the order was ready the whole time I was waiting without my knowledge even after showing the name the first time this happened

Legit so slow, the employees don’t even acknowledge you. A simple “be right with you” wouldn’t hurt. I waited 15 minutes in line and another 30 for my order absolutely insane. Get more employees if it’s that bad.

This review is about the service. We are fans of Panera and have been coming here once a week for years. As of late, the counter service has been terrible. We consistently have to stand and wait for an employees finally come take our order. No one ever apologizes and they usually act put out to have to take our order. We watch employees take out trash and other chores while we stand there and no one even acknowledges we are there even though they are standing nearby. If you are too busy doing other chores and ignore customers then why are we here? Logically, someone should be assigned to watch the counter for customers and greet them. Very poor customer service.
And, we had to wait a long time for our order,which we were eating in the restaurant. Too much emphasis on takeout orders and not on live customers in this facility. Very disappointing.
