    Might be the absolute slowest drive thru in all of town

    I was seated at a table with my water bottle and coffee and stepped away for less than a minute to use the restroom. When I came back, everything had been cleared and thrown away. This is the second time this happens here. Clearing a table that is clearly still in use is unacceptable. I hope management takes this seriously.

    A few months ago, I started running, and on my way home there’s a Panera nearby, so I began stopping there to grab breakfast. I initially enjoyed the convenience, but unfortunately I’ve had repeated issues with order accuracy, which has become very frustrating. On one occasion, I ordered four sandwiches but found only three in the bag after I got home, requiring me to drive back to the store. The following week, I checked the bag before leaving and confirmed the quantity was correct, but later discovered that one sandwich was missing bacon. Again, I had to return to have it remade. Another time, I ordered a family meal that allows either two full-size sandwiches or four half-size sandwiches. I ordered one full-size sandwich and two half-size sandwiches, but when I got home, the full-size sandwich was missing. None of the sandwiches were labeled, so it was unclear what was missing. When I returned, the manager offered a refund and remade the sandwich, but the refund never appeared even days later. Most recently, my son picked up a chicken sandwich from this location while in a hurry. While eating it, he realized there was no chicken in the sandwich—only egg and avocado. Because these mistakes have happened repeatedly, I’ve stopped going to this location. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect orders to be accurate, especially given the time and inconvenience caused by having to make multiple return trips.

    Service and management are excessively rude, sandwiches were cold. And place was unswept and carpet was very dirty from food and crumbs. Avoid this location

    I’ve ate at several locations and the meal choices keep getting better!! I purchase a Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich & Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup. I also tried a new drink today, it was the Pomegranate Hibiscus and it was good. I choose the drive thru service but the inside is always clean. They also have a bakery selection which is amazing for everyone’s needs. Give them a try and let me know what you think!!
