Had a mishap with DoorDash taking over 45 minutes to drop off my order when the store is less than 10 minutes away. I called Panera, they not only remade everything but went above and beyond in customer service when I picked it up! My son enjoyed the gifted cookies.

We ordered for dine in at Ballantyne Panera area. The order was ready they did not even bother to call out when the food is ready and I’m not aware it’s ready. Had cold soup and bread. Pathetic service. Completely deserted. Food is not good as other locations. Salad arrived without Roman lettuce but not compensated with any other ingredients - staff told they were running out!

I stopped here for lunch. No one was at the register because I believe they were too focused on the self serve kiosks. Would have been nice to speak to someone.
