- AZAndrea ZeiberDec 25, 20255.0My husband and I were looking for a place to grab dinner on Xmas eve. Everywhere was closed, but we stopped into Panera less than 10 mins before they closed, and the staff who was mostly cleaned up, heated up soups and made a sandwich for us. They were super nice about it, which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend this place, especially for the service.
- JJJennaDec 14, 20252.0Tonight 12/14/25 (est 6:35pm) I ordered 2 group broccoli cheddar soups and 1 sandwich with rapid indoor pickup. I was told that I had to wait 5-10 minutes for the broccoli cheddar soups because they had to thaw after waiting for the food to be ready on the app for 10 minutes. After that 10 minutes I was called to the counter and told I could either wait another 10-15 minutes or get a refund/change the soup out for a different one. I waited the 15 minutes and was called up to the counter again to be told it still wasn't done and asked if I wanted to wait. I waited 45-55 minutes after the app said my order was ready and finally got my soup and sandwich. Not once did a manager come out to apologize or offer anything for the wait. The lady at the counter was very respectful and apologized multiple times but 45-55 minutes is outrageous for 3 items while there wasn't a rush and while using the rapid pickup option. After arriving home the broccoli in my soup is hard. Not recommended to eat here on a slow Sunday evening.
- JMJackie MartinNov 8, 20251.0Horrible service. Some of The workers weren’t putting any effort into making the food good. They put No croutons or cheese in the French onion soup. And barely gave enough soup to fill the bowl. Won’t be going back ever.
- IGIsrael GonzalezNov 2, 20253.0Ultimately a Panera Industry issue. I The green smoothie was not worth.
- KFKameron FreemanOct 21, 20251.0Worst drive though I’ve ever been to. Literally only ordered a drink and sat in the drive thru for almost 20 minutes. The saddest part is the restaurant was empty, there was only 1 car in front of me.
