    Every time I go to this Panera, I get a chicken CAESER Salad. Every time I am given ranch dressing. When this is a $12 salad the least you can do is give the proper dressing. I know Caesar dressing and ranch are similar in appearance but do better. If you cannot do the job well and offer the product correctly, don’t offer it at all.

    Panera is certainly one of the more appetizing chains available. This location in particular can sometimes take a little bit of time to prepare the food, but it is always done right and consistent. Parking is very easy and accessible

    Panera USED to have pretty good food, however the quality is poor at best. I ordered a soup and a sandwich. The soup was watery and lukewarm and the chicken in the sandwich was in pieces instead of one slice. Very disappointing!

    An expected and warm Croissant Benny to start a Fri. workday, not sure why the limited or unavailable breakfast breads or pastries eg; cheese danishes, banana nut bread, cream puffs, etc., sufficient drive-through service am overall pleasant visit.
