    This is a great place to eat at, take out, and drive thru, to get great food. I know it says Panera Bread,it's easy to think it's just a bread store, but it's not, it's a great food and snack restaurant. I'm not putting the menu on here you can see that at the Website. They have great food here, to eat on dates, or quick food to eat by yourself, or leave with, or go through the drive thru located at the back of the restaurant. Some people have different ideas of what should be on sandwiches or salads. If you want more lettuce or anything else, you need to tell the employees.

    My wife ordered a French dip for me here and it's more like a piece of toast with a hardly any meat on it. Absolutely no pride in preparing their food. Zero stars if I could.

    Trina is an ALLSTAR!! Super nice and professional. We forgot our pager at the register and she brought out our food for us saying “ I didn’t want your food to get cold”

    Restaurant was not clean, area around drink station was nasty. Condiment bins were beyond dirty and sticky. French dip sandwich was terrible and the French soup was nothing but brown salty water with onion chunks . Pantera Bread you have really gone down hill what happened to the once yummy clean place to eat. BTW your bathroom room was nasty.

    The employers are shallow either the orders and customers. They don’t pay attention at all at the orders.
