    Panera is always pretty consistently a good meal. I got the Autumn Squash soup and a Chicken dipper sandwich (pick 2). My only minor complaint would be the soup was a little think. I know that as the soup sits in the warmer, it's gonna thicken up. They just need to add a little stock every now and again so it isn't quite so thick. It was still good and I ate every bit.

    THE SLOWEST DRIVE THROUGH IN LINCOLN. when you watch through the window as your waiting they have no sense of urgency. Its like their just there to hang out and talk to their friends. This has happened more than once.

    Very nice atmosphere compared to other Paneras. Bistro Onion Soup was very salty and not very nice to my palate. Cream of Broccoli was wxcellent!
