    Sometimes it’s good, other times it’s decent and I’m just grateful to be able to eat. However, they don’t do pup cups anymore. My dog told us we have to dogcot (boycot) this place now. It’s been real Panera.

    The worst Panera I’ve ever been to. I stopped even trying to eat here because the wait times are insane. No one in line and I’m waiting over 10 minutes for some soup in a bowl……no one wants to talk to you, staff isn’t helpful. When I was door dashing I would skip orders from here because they never had them ready on time and you had to basically beg to get your order.

    A homey Panera that I feel comfortable doing my Devotionals at. The coffee is good and so are the bagels. Just be a little patient when you wait to recieve help at the counter as they are busy in the back.

    I rarely write reviews but I’m so over this Panera. Every time I go I am met with rude staff, food is never done on time, and my order is always incorrect. This evening I ordered in the app around 5:30PM and set my pickup time for 7:30PM. Got there when my food was due to be done, but wasn’t even started once I arrived. I decided to go in and wait for it. Staff was loud and obnoxious in the kitchen and just glanced at me, didn’t ask if I had an order or anything. I shrugged it off and waited. Food was finally done at 7:40PM, 10 minutes after it was supposed to be complete. Worker that packaged my food threw my food onto the counter, glanced at me, then walked away without saying anything. I get home to eat and half of my order is wrong. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it will definitely be the last. Do yourself a favor and just skip over this location, it’s not worth your time.

    Great drive through experience. We've been having an extremely bad holidays our cat died on my wife's birthday which was also Thanksgiving. I've been laid off and my wife just had been in the hospital for seizures. She bit her tounge real bad and all she could eat was soups so you guys were the first place we went to while it was snowing. Well they forgot our latte but fixed it at the window and gave us a cookie it was just a nice positive interaction on a day that literally felt like our world was ending. Good soup too got broccoli and the chicken and rice
