I’m not completely certain of her name I believe it was Eliss but the employee who assisted me during my visit showed behavior that was absolutely unacceptable for any business. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and shockingly unprofessional from the moment I approached her. She spoke to me with clear frustration, rolled her eyes when I asked a simple question, and acted like helping a customer was an inconvenience. At one point, she walked away from me mid-conversation without saying a word. I’ve never experienced anything like that in a customer-facing environment. This wasn’t just “bad service.” It showed a complete lack of respect, basic courtesy, and proper training. I left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable, and it honestly made me question how management is supervising their staff. If this is the level of behavior employees are allowed to show, it raises serious concerns about how this place is being run. I really hope leadership takes this situation seriously, because no customer should be treated the way I was.

Laughable. Pathetic serving sizes for the price. Unkept overall. If you're in the are and want a decent sandwich there's a Sheetz right across the street.

My wife really enjoys Panera and has never complained about any time she's sent me here to pick up lunch for her. I do wish Paneras would tell you where to go pick up your orders (every one has a order register up front then a pick up spot hidden away somewhere else).
Personally I never order anything from any Panera when wife sends me. The food is generally good but i find it to be WAY overpriced.
