    Just not a great experience. They didn't call our name for food, messed up several parts of our order (which they did fix) and employees just didn't seem to care. And the sandwich was nearly $7 for bread and a slice of ham (because they messed up the order)

    UNLIMITED SIP CLUB IS NOW LIMITED!False advertising. I paid upfront for an annual Sip Club membership specifically to get coffee whenever I needed it, including late afternoon and early evenings. Midway through my subscription, my local stores stopped serving coffee after 2:00 PM. Panera refuses to issue a refund or offer any compensation for cutting back the service I already paid for. Incredibly poor customer service and a total rip-off. I strongly discourage paying in full up front for this bait and switch. They can just change the rules of the game whenever they feel like it and keep your money. Rip off.

    Consistent quality food and atmosphere, healthier options, clean environment. Mattie was effervescent, smiling, friendly, professional, going from one task to another continuously (she not only took my order but in her rounds even cleaned my table as I was finishing up. Have my own business. Love to hire young people with her outgoing, bright, positive attitude.

    Coming into the Merle Hay Road Panera from out of town today. We were tired from our trip so we used the drive up window. Service seemed faster than usual but when we got home found my husband's sandwich missing. He called and was told he could drive up and pick it up, they do not refund the charged card. That would have been a 40 minute trip! This is the third time it has happened to us, the second time at this same Panera. The gal on the phone said something about an error message to excuse it and was not apologetic but had very matter of fact attitude. My husband was not angry, just hungry! The first time this happened at this place the manager promised to send a gift card in the mail but it never came. I do like the food here because I am allergic to preservatives and I feel like it is healthy. But there has to be a better system than this!!!!!
