    Feeling under the weather, so I went to Panera since i didnt find what I was looking for at chick-fil-a. I ordered 1 large passionfruit drink, 2 chicken noodle soup bowls, 1 full grilled cheese, and I ask baguette sides. $30 some was the total. I get my drink (loved it), I get 1 bowl of chicken noodle soup, and 1 bowl of broth (not a single noodle, chicken, or even veggies), sides was baguette with the scent of whatever they had on their gloves at the moment of serving it (ruined the bread for me). Grilled cheese was cold, but that's my fault since I made a few stops before eating. Yeah, $30 some dollars. I'm not bashing panera, nor the crew. They mightve been having a bad day, or an off day and didn't really pay attention to what they were doing. I'm just sharing my experience and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

    You can judge an establishment on how they make your food by how carelessly they keep the bathroom dirty

    Well, 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 😖
