    Worst Panera I’ve ever been to. Ordered a whole Greek goddess salad, received a half. Lettuce was wilted and rotten in many parts. Restaurant was dirty and service was nothing exceptional. I’ll never return to this location.

    Picked up a Caesar salad and soup to go. Soup was fine, but when I took a bite of the salad I got a couple of pieces of rotten lettuce. They were foul and slimy! Gross!! Before I ate anymore I picked through it carefully and pulled out about 8 pieces with significant rot. C'mon Panera, teach your folks not to cut up lettuce without culling the rot first!
