My husband had just had hip replacement surgery in Wichita and I was starving. Panera was just a couple of blocks away so I drove over there as quickly as possible. I ordered both of us soup and sandwiches and the food was delicious and filling. Fell asleep shortly after dinner in the hospital room and didn't hear a thing until 10am the next morning. Their food always seems to be really great!

Kind of a bougie place. Food is so-so. They don't clean well-bathrooms often have no paper. They run out of certain items. Definitely not a place for a large family.
