    The asiago steak sandwich was pretty good. The service not so much. I walked up to the register and the worker just stared at me. No welcome, hi how are you?, what can I get for you? Just a blank stare. Got my to go food and no thank you or have a good day. Mannerisms don't seem to be taught these days.

    This location is pretty bad compared to other Lincoln Panera’s. Very Very watery coffee a just go to McDonald’s or Scooters - even a gas station does better job than here.

    Nice place but expensive. $12 for half sandwich & cup of soup. In spite of prices, I'll go back, its within walking distance of my house and they have a fireplace which is inviting on a cold day.

    Pictured is what they claim is the French Ciabatta Dipper ordered here on 01/15/26. For this to cost more than a few dollars is criminal. I have also included a picture of the Panera official advertisement…
