    I've been a loyal customer for over five years and usually love Panera's sandwiches, soups, and bagels. Unfortunately, my latest lunch experience was highly disappointing. The corn chowder I received was completely solid-so dry that it stayed stuck to the bowl when turned totally upside down. I showed the manager a picture of this unappetizing meal, and though he apologized and gave me a $5 credit, I expected a bit more care and accountability regarding quality control. It left me with an uneasy feeling, and I am hesitant to return.

    So disappointed. First time I’ve been in about a year and will never go back. The floor and tables were filthy. Ordered a grilled cheese that was, well, disgusting. Cheese was still fully formed and barely lukewarm. Soup tasted like Campbells from a can and the portion was SO SO small and COST $9 DOLLARS. The manager in the food area was very professional though. My order was wrong (I added mozzerella cheese and white cheddar to my sandwich but neither was on it). She took care of it right away and was super nice. The sandwich was still gross, but she was great.

    The food, service and dining room were all great. The bathrooms are in need of remodeling (and better cleaning). For a fast casual chain that puts an emphasis on healthy eating with an inviting, well thought out atmosphere, it’s surprising the bathroom quality is so poor.
