- MSMichael SaftNov 2, 20255.0This Panera Bread location is newer, clean, and very inviting. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, which makes it a great spot for a casual meal or coffee break. The food is consistently fresh and well prepared, and orders usually come out fast even when the place gets busy. It can get a bit crowded during peak times, and there’s not a great spot to stand while waiting for your order, which can feel a little awkward. Still, the overall experience is positive, and the comfortable atmosphere and reliable food make it a nice addition to the area.
- TCTravis CoppleNov 2, 20252.0First time going since they started outsourcing their baking. Bagels are not as good as they used to be. They also forgot an item on my mobile order.
- SCSadie CampOct 24, 20252.0They were out of almost everything, but did not tell you until you received your food without something and you went up to ask.
- FBFi BOct 11, 20253.0Ordered a salad, there were literal rotting pieces of romaine. When I go out to eat, I want good fresh food. I used to love panera, it feels like it's going downhill now and I'll be finding other restaurants to spend my time and money at.
- JKJohn KilpatrickSep 26, 20251.0We had a good front counter person waiting on us at this restaurant. After that it went downhill and they called us several times to the service counter to tell us what they didn't have and to try to offer some substitutes. They completely left all the chicken off of a salad and it was supposed to be a full salad, but the ball was merely half full at best. They forgot the chicken and I took the salad back up and they asked if I wanted the chicken in my hand to put on the salad myself, finally got the chicken for the salad. They did credit the salad back to our card. In addition my wife wanted hot water for tea, and was promised she would have the hto ware in 7 minutes, and didn't recieve any hot water until 25 minutes later. I would not recommend this location.
