- RFRichard FoxNov 6, 20252.0We are uncomfortable every time we go here in the late afternoon. There is always a school tutoring class going on . They don't have the courtesy to go off to the side they park right in the middle of the dining area. If I wanted to hear about asorted school subjects I would volunteer at a school. Panera needs to put them off to the side or turn off the wifi so the tutor will hold classes at her home.
- FSFran SchillerOct 6, 20252.0I haven’t eaten in a Panera since I left the Wilmington area, I decided to stop in , was shopping in Mayfaire. The restaurant and service was great, I ordered the steak dipper and I literally threw away most of the meat, it tasted old… The tomato soup was delish though!
- KRKeith RequardSep 6, 20252.0Portion size keeps getting smaller and smaller. Prices are higher than in the past. Several menu items have been eliminated. Panera Bread used to stand out because it offered great food at reasonable values. Now it's just another so-so place.
- ADAddy DickAug 21, 20255.0Awesome place and great customer service. This guy named Bryce, I believe, was the best guy to order from. He had great patience and was really nice and helpful, the food was great and me and my boyfriend will definitely be back!
- CMCarlos MariscalJul 17, 20251.0I walked in and thank God I walked past the iced tea dispenser—it had gunk floating around in it. So I took a peek inside the iced coffee dispenser and it had floating gunk as well. DISGUSTING! I walked right back out without ordering anything
