    I was really hoping this Panera location would improve on their portion sizes because they really skimp on their sandwich from the meat and all the fixings on the sandwich. They are not putting enough on their sandwiches. This has been going on since 2022. I hope it gets better and I am happy to return.

    Tonight was the second time in the past 2 months we order food from Northbrook location. Quality of food has changed drastically in a negative way. Cram of broccoli used to be so creamy and delicious now it was very soupy and casteless. Bred is no longer French nuggets but rather sandwich bread. Greek salad was so sour. Too bad not sure what is going on but hope they get their act together, we don’t want to lose another restaurant in our neighborhood

    One of the employees (manager) relatives sat in the parking lot blinding the dining room with their lights for almost half an hour. I was told by the younger cashier that its not their problem and they wouldnt do anything about it. There’s better places to sit for coffee or tea.
