    This used to be one of my favorite places couple years ago, but I have seen a gradual decayed overtime - specifically the food quality is going down; the food quantity is going down even faster….!

    Omg. Has the manager walked out on the floor lately? The place is filthy with napkins crumbs and trash by each table. I was shocked

    Besides the sketchy looking pickle I received, my sandwich was adequate. Good amount of mayo and I was satisfied after eating it. You kinda know what you’re getting into with Panera bread and I haven’t been to one in a really long time. Just went with a turkey & cheddar sandwich to play it safe.
