    We love Panera. Food was 5 stars. My son and I came in to the Lexington, SC store on a busy Saturday afternoon after lacrosse. We were pleasantly greeted by our cashier, Nikita. I’d give Nikita 10 stars if I could. By far the best service and attitude I’ve seen in a while. She was super friendly and helpful and her positivity was contagious. She was everywhere… taking orders, cleaning up tables, talking to patrons. Even my 9 year old said, “Mom, she was sooo nice. Can we write a review?” Done. Give Nikita a raise.

    I was here the other day and overheard a supervisor telling staff they couldn’t take a break until everything was done. Stop mistreating your workers! Most of the workers here look like high school and college students. I would never recommend anyone letting their kids work here based off what I heard the supervisor saying to her workers. My cashier was friendly so this has no reflection on the service she provided. Food was not the best so I won’t miss coming to this location. Corporate if you see this get better managers and treat your workers better shame on you.

    We eaten at this location 2 times and the second time unfortunately i got food poisoning from eating a salad and sandwich. I really think it was the salad because the sandwich was hot. As much as i loved it i thought it tasted funny. I ate it not knowing i would be sick for 5 days. Just wanted everyone to be aware. I love this place but scared to go through this again! The lady there who helped us was very nice and helpful…. service was great!
