    Have gone to this Panera twice in the last month. Both times waited over 20mins in the drive thru line. Neither of these times did anybody come out and even acknowledge that it would take a little longer than usual. Horrible customer service. On the second time coming through, I was the ONLY vehicle waiting in line. We ordered a cup of soup and a side salad, that's it! Waited over 20 minutes and when the girl working the window gave us our food, no sorry, no offering to make it right, nothing. Will never be coming back to this specific location and will tell all of my family and friends to avoid this Panera Bread. They SUCK

    Food was hot and tasty. I didn't like how one person would take a big table and spread out with their computer and such.
