    Ordered almost $50 for my family and I. We didn’t even get half the items we actually ordered. Called the store and the manager allegedly can’t (won’t) attempt to work towards a resolution until tomorrow. Called corporate instead and got a refund on the missing items in 5 minutes. Completely unprofessional, incompetent, and lazy management here.

    Spent over 30$ for two small cups of soup, with two sad soggy grilled cheese that fit in my hand and two pieces of bread loaf. Have tried ordering from this Panera over the years, they consistently have not gotten my order right and have been a total let down in quality control. They do not care about your take out order, the only decent sandwich I have ever gotten was an accidental dine-in order; when they know you will come back up to them if it is done poorly. Save your money if you want quality, spend it elsewhere.

    It was so cold inside the restaurant that our “hot” food cooled on the way to our table.
