- JFJan Ford2 days ago1.0Worst Paneras ever been in!!!! They are short handed and took forever to get food that we finally just threw in trash and left. Normally would complain and get replacement food but it’d take too long. Avoid this Paneras if possible!
- AGAaron GrahamNov 2, 20255.0The pretty lady behind the register and in the dining room is a real hoot! She has personality for days. I believe she said her name was (Shirley) ? I come in just to be treated well almost daily. Thank goodness she’s back.
- CBConnor BissonDavisNov 2, 20255.0Shelly, the lovely woman that works behind the register and provides exceptional customer service--hands down makes this panera feel like a five star restaurant! Rock on, Panera at Merchant!
- ANAndrea NelsonOct 27, 20251.0I’ve been waiting for an HOUR when no one was ahead of me in the drive thru. She had me park and then came out with half my order missing 40 minutes into waiting and hasn’t returned yet with the rest of my order. Will probably be another 30 minutes so I’m just driving off with a cold sandwich and my salad missing. Avoid at all costs as it looks like this is a normal thing based on past reviews.
- BTBarbara ThompsonOct 18, 20255.0Stopped here for lunch, very pleased with the food and service. Clean restrooms and plenty of parking. Lots of food choices.
