    All portions have decreased. How is Panera still in business. If they R going to charge this much for so little. I would think they would clean tables. Filthy !

    Kyle, the manager, is ubiquitous and omnipresent. He holds his staff together and makes accommodations himself. I am regular, since this is my wife's favorite restaurant. Kyle's ingratiating service always starts my Saturday morning's with a smile.

    Sandwich was good, as was the Service but I got a half Sandwich and was the size of a half of a half and was expensive. Another customer came back to front after picking up his sit down order to ask if that was all the soup he was getting. As he walked by the big bowl was only filled a quarter of the way..

    Hello, I recently came across and saw a review mentioning a lack of noodles in our chicken noodle soup by Neil Militar. Since I cannot reply to any reviews I would like to clarify that our soups are portioned according to standard recipes to ensure fairness for all customers. While the guest noted that there were only three to four noodles, we want to assure everyone that when we prepared the soup, it contained the proper portion of ingredients. My manager also informed him that we cannot provide extra noodles every day that he comes in and asks for only noodles every time as it would affect the consistency and fairness of our servings. Thank you, just would like to clarify that since I work there and was there during this time and my manager had handled the situation moving forward.

    I ordered a bowl of soup to go, I paid for 2 bowl of chicken noodle soup and each one has 3 to 4 noodles in it. And they say that’s how it comes up in a scoop. Don’t go here.
