    I never eat at this restaurant because of prices and i will never eat at any ever again. Prices are way to expensive for small portions. I ordered a salad and i could've bouth from Wendy's at a much cheaper price and bigger portions.

    This Panera bread has some of the nicest employees I have ever met! The girl at the cashier is so sweet and always so happy. She makes you feel good when going to place your order because of how much she smiles! Food is always on point, I always get the you pick too for $15 half broccoli cheddar soup & half turkey cheddar sandwich with a side of bread of course to dip in my soup! Always fresh and very healthy for a “fast food” place in my opinion. 10/10 would recommend and the atmosphere is always great also.
