People were friendly, food tasted just like it does at every other Panera, but I hope the kitchen is cleaner than the disgusting bathroom.

Took 20 mins to get two sandwiches! And they didn't put the bagel we paid for in the bag! Employees verbally complaining about having to complete orders.

Looks like they are doing some painting. I frequented this Panera for years and I think this is the first that they’ve done anything to spruce it up. I hope they hit the restrooms too because they look pretty tired.

Every time I’ve been to this Panera it’s an issue. Normally it just takes forever to get through the drive thru, or they get the order wrong. But today they topped that, by telling me I can’t add tomato to the sandwich I was trying to order. When I asked why I couldn’t add tomato to the sandwich I was told that Corporate won’t allow him to add tomato to my sandwich. Ok Panera you win. I won’t go to your restaurants anymore.

Way over priced. Food is mediocre. Management is an utter joke. Don't follow food service cleanliness standards.. food inspections need to happen ASAP. Also consistently violate labor laws. Eat here at your own risk.
