    Restrooms were so dirty and unsanitary. Get your food to go.

    I stopped in for a quick lunch and really enjoyed the cozy vibe. The broccoli cheddar soup was just as comforting as always, and my sandwich was fresh and made exactly to order. It is a perfect spot when you want something satisfying that feels a little bit better than standard fast food. Even though it was a bit crowded, the service kept things moving along nicely.

    Husband placed a catering order for his company and not only did they lose his order, but they employee told him to contact DoorDash when he ordered THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE & when he spoke to a manager she was basically “our bad, we can’t complete your order as it was lost” but I guess you can’t expect much from a chain restaurant in Lake Charles. Horrible management. Horrible service. Buy local. Avoid this BS.

    Feeling under the weather, so I went to Panera since i didnt find what I was looking for at chick-fil-a. I ordered 1 large passionfruit drink, 2 chicken noodle soup bowls, 1 full grilled cheese, and I ask baguette sides. $30 some was the total. I get my drink (loved it), I get 1 bowl of chicken noodle soup, and 1 bowl of broth (not a single noodle, chicken, or even veggies), sides was baguette with the scent of whatever they had on their gloves at the moment of serving it (ruined the bread for me). Grilled cheese was cold, but that's my fault since I made a few stops before eating. Yeah, $30 some dollars. I'm not bashing panera, nor the crew. They mightve been having a bad day, or an off day and didn't really pay attention to what they were doing. I'm just sharing my experience and hopefully it doesn't happen again.
