    Food was very good. Employees were not super friendly (no smiling). Floor in front of drink machine was soaking wet. There were no lids for medium size drinks. Ladies restroom had no toilet tissue.

    I sat in drive-through for over 25 minutes while people talk and laughed and joked at the window not doing their job. Absolutely ridiculous for a new restaurant. Love Panera bread but if this is the service that you get here will never come to this location again management really needs to dial in their people

    Took my grandsons here for lunch and everything was ready quickly and tasted delicious. I tried the chicken cranberry walnut salad sandwich and it was very good

    Stopped to grab something quick and didn't want anything greasy. There is a sweet young lady with pink hair that took my order. She was friendly and had such a kind spirit that I know will take her far. Fast food is not easy. Customers aren't always nice. I told her to hang in there. This is temporary.
