    I go to panera on my lunch break. I wait on the drive through like for 25 minutes and they only server 2 cars. Too bad I couldn't get my food in time because I had to head back to work to clock back in. This is the 3rd time in the past couple months this has happened so I will not be returning back there again.

    Everytime order ahead and go through drive through, still wait 30 mins or more. And the order is never right when I do finally get it. Lost a customer. I’m done

    Honestly same response as the guest’s below me. This Panera is a filthy mess in every aspect you can imagine. Quality of food is not fresh with the exception of the lettuce(this time around). Where the heck is management? I just see a bunch of teens running the place with no supervision. There are enough people on the clock to at least have someone bus around and take the mounding piles of garbage out, wipe surfaces, sweep etc. Not an appealing experience.

    Went to eat tonight 10/25/ 25 the restaurant was empty first thing I see is the place is a mess floors garbage all over. I wait at the register for 5 minutes while tge employee is talking to two friends then realizes oh wait I have a customer. After ordering I proceed to get my drink and again garbage everywhere counters are a mess. I coukd understand if the place was busy but there were 5 customers. Then I go to find a table we'll of course they were all dirty and the booth seats most of them had huge rides in them after cleaning my own table I waited for my buzzer to go off. When I picked up my food not a friendly face any where and my sandwich was not good at all. Very poorly run if there was a manager there no were to be found. I well not be returning to that location.

    Wish I could give 0 zero stars! We traveled many miles from other state to attend workshops. Just wanted a simple grilled cheese and asked for cheddar. No cheddar and the American cheese was so thin I want to call this a bread grilled cheese. Barely grilled and just awful !!!!
