    The sandwiches were amazing, full of protein. The only concern was that a couple of the employees were making weird noises in the back and it was very concerning, I even heard a lady say she thought there were cats in the kitchen.

    I was the only member of our seven person group to order a whole sandwich. The others got some combination of sandwich and/or soup and/or salad. So I was startled when my "whole sandwich" arrived. What I had on my plate was two halves of two different sandwiches. Both halves had the same ingredients. But there was no way to configure the two rectangles to make one larger rectangle because of the length of the sides. The two halves also looked a little different and they tasted different. One, the larger of the two, was quite tasty. The other half was considerably cooler and slightly soggy. I kind of regret not taking a photo.

    The food has really gone downhill. My Asian inspired salad was all iceberg with fake looking wontons, barely any sliced almonds and a sad sandwich which was not what I ordered falling over off the plate. It really is sad. I will never eat at Panera again.

    This location skimps like no other I've been to. Got the Pick 2. Half sandwich was 1" x 3" and had 3 bacon bits and 2 tiny slivers of chicken. Salad weighed less than 4 oz and was missing chicken all together. I'm not fond of wasting money and never will return to this location.
