    Pulled up to Panera Bread in Manahawkin NJ. I was surprised the place was empty at 6:30pm on a cold Friday night! I went in thinking I hit the jackpot however I soon found out the jackpot wasn’t going in my favor. Waited at the counter 10 minutes ordered a hot coffee and hot soup and got a COLD CUP OF COFFEE and a COLDER SOUP! I would understand if they were short staffed however they (Panera) had 8 employees on cleaning the kitchen up! No manager anywhere to be seen! Coffee station was cluttered and dirty. I did ask the young girl in the kitchen if I could get a hot coffee and soup and was told “We are cleaning up give me a minute! Never again A simple coffee and a soup!

    This is a nice and cozy restaurant. If I didn’t have a wife I would have never stepped in this place, but I am glad I did. We got the Chicken Bacon Rancher which is excellent and the Bacon Turkey Brand which is my favorite. The wife also got the Broccoli Cheddar Soup which is her favorite and the chips with a Passion Papaya Iced Green Tea. Great lunch spot to go with the spouse.

    Ordered a grilled chicken dish with bacon. Order came out with tiny bits of chicken & no bacon. Got home & my stomach was hurting. Basically, the food left something to be desired.
