OMG, this Panera was the MOST nastiest, filthy, messy, stanky, alas trifling looking restaurant out of the other Panera Bread I've been too. There was piles of dirt and food debris from other customers join every table able seat and not one of the Staff chose to keep the lobby, tables, alas seats thoroughly cleaned. Then the restroom smelled like an open rotten sewer with bowel movement and that was just disgusting after I had just got done eating. And even the atmosphere here was just so and totally "OFF" and weird and dysfunctional too even amongst the workers and their Leadership. I'll NEVER choose to waste My time or My money,diners, or moolah HERE again, geesh this establishment is horrible, Smh

They had a guy cosplaying as Paul Blart barking at people immediately upon leaving their parked cars threatening to call someone on the spot to tow your car if he doesn’t see you walk into Panera. He also had two (his pets, I assume?) dogs tied up to a tree for some strange reason. Mind you this is in the direct sunlight with no water bowl visible. Maybe it’s to add to the “security guard” tough guy aesthetic? Either way, I’m not sure what the intention was - intimidating and harassing people minding their own business seems to be a counterintuitive business practice. Panera’s already not cheap and the food’s mediocre. You aren’t doing yourself any favors, and if this location wasn’t next to a college campus of liberally spending students, I’d reckon they’d have to close due to a lack of business.
Odd experience to say the least. Guess it’s safe to say based off other reviews this is a common experience. It’s quite bizarre and never seen before in my experiences that a fast food restaurant with a parking lot adjacent to other businesses employs a power hungry man with a Napoleon complex who yells threats at you the second you walk away from your car. Even if you are intending to eat at Panera, this behavior’s not appropriate for a paying patron. Felt like a dystopian episode of the Twilight Zone.
