- AWAndrea Wilkowski6 days ago1.0Well, I had Panera several times, not from the Lake Charles location, and our thought was , we pick up the advertised French dip on the way home. Well, we waited at least 30 min, took so long where customers came to the window and asked what is going wrong with our foods? It was about 4.30PM. Here to the service 1 star, they told the customer behind us, older lady, “oh your food is ready and there’s we have to cook”, what? Here the 1 star to the food -> it was not French dip, it was onion gravy, you could see the onions, thick old gravy in a have full cup, and no meat on the sandwich, just scraped leftover scrubs you couldn’t see it on the bread and not identify the thin see through scrubs of something, and this supposed to be dipped und an old thick crusty onion gravy, what was not possible to do. So here my 1 star, and my advice, if you know French dip, don’t try from Panera Bread Lake Charles 😖
