    Panera has nose dived since its birth, now long ago. Prices are so high! Portions are small. Quality does not match the prices at all.

    Order food online and picked up in restaurant. Ordered 3 sandwiches and group serving of chicken wild rice soup. The Ciabatta Cheesesteak was very skimpy on everything, especially the meat. Reminded me of the "Where's the beef" comericals. The group soup is very expensive for the serving size ( $22). Way overpriced for the quality and quantity of food in my opinion.
