    Food was really good. The dinning room was a little dirty for as few people that were in there and the dirty dishes were overflowing from the bin.

    We love Panera Bread, and today’s visit was especially wonderful thanks to Chase! He was so knowledgeable and friendly, taking the time to explain the new fall menu items. I tried the chicken salad and the Autumn Squash Soup, and both were excellent. Chase’s great attitude and customer service made our visit fabulous. Thank you for making Panera even better!

    Paid for a chicken bacon avocado and only had ONE slice of avocado on the whole thing. Won’t be coming back. Schlotzkys is better. I went in and the manager saw and didn’t care.

    Kat was excellent, and very patient as I'd wanted the broccoli cheddar soup and she went and confirmed first. She also helped with the sandwiches suggestion. Such a great person to have on your team.
