    I ordered my food to-go on the kiosk in the store. The employees were qioluck to fulfil my order so I could get back on the road.

    4th time in a row they’ve messed up our to go orders. Getting sick of it for how expensive it is and then they have the nerve to ask for a tip when they can’t fill a simple order when their dining room is empty and employees are standing around. Got the new stacker thing that’s on an Asiago bagel and it looks pitiful. For reference their advertised picture is in the review. There are like 10 pieces of shredded cheese on the bagel and then well, you can see the sandwich. Advertisements verses reality should be criminal like in Japan. Forgot all of our rolls for the order and we have 5 soups. No chips that ordered with the sandwiches. Ignored the order that said no pumpkin seeds on the soup. These things seem somewhat small I know, but we really need to keep higher standards. I really just want to give up on them at this point. Oh and we placed the order for a certain time for pickup and they were 25 min behind. Go to Potbelly or anywhere else. Kroger has better sandwiches these days.

    Food is fine, service is fine but for the price you pay there is not a lot of value. The bathrooms are a bit disgusting. I like Panera Bread and the convenience but it could be a bit better.

    I came in on 12/14/25 around 5:20pm to get a bread bowl w/soup and was told by some young blonde girl with reindeer ears on that they don't have any. Then my mom points to the ones on the bread rack and the girl states "they're for tomorrow and we don't have any for today." Then she said "everyone's been asking for them and we've been turning them away." That's the only thing we came for so we left. That's trash service not to serve someone a bread bowl with soup and turn customers away. Your workers can make more bread bowls so there's no excuse for this behavior from employees. Your losing money from lazy staff!
