- APAthina P4 days ago3.0I love Panera, unfortunately the past couple times I’ve ordered to-go, it was missing items. My last order was mini brownies and a regular brownie, a YP2 and a bowl of soup. I was missing the regular browning and the soup from the YP2 🙁 Go inside or check your to-go orders before driving off if you want to get all your food.
- KGKeith GosselinNov 16, 20253.0Clean, good staff, food was out quick. Daughter was really looking forward to broccoli cheddar and they were out. 😢Bathrooms need some work. Others may have a better experience.
- RBR BNov 16, 20251.01 star feels generous. Looking closer at the reviews it seems like consistency, rotten food, and cleanliness are consistent problems at this location. We were just stopping thru on a road trip. Here was our experience: -Ordered 2 bowls of oatmeal. 1 was watery with no sugar, and 1 was basically hard and dry like they scraped the bottom of the barrel, and then it was loaded with sugar. My husband had to dump it over to pour the sugar out. Where was the consistency?? -Ordered a yogurt parfait for my toddler. The fruit seemed to have spoiled in it, so there was a LOT of thick brown liquid on top. I couldn’t believe they’d serve that to someone! We threw it out without opening it. -The bathroom was dirty (soap all down the walls, handles gross, paper towels on the floor), and the floor was strangely sticky.
- D4Dee 4EverlandNov 12, 20253.0Ordered on the app.and went through the drive-thru to pick up. Got home and found out I was missing our cranberry orange slices. Called and had to go back up there to get them. Waited for several minutes to be acknowledged and waited on. Was told "we are out of cranberry orange slices" but there were several in the case. PLUS I was told when I called they were setting 2 slices aside for me. She finally found them. But I do have to say, there weren't very many cranberries in it!! See photo - frustrated that I had to make a return trip AND the product - while tasty- didn't look like the picture in the menu
- MBMatty BNov 9, 20251.0Waited in the drive thru for 25 minutes yesterday . There was no explanation or apologies when I pulled up to get the food . Very poor customer service. The drive thru and building needs some work as well. Very disappointing.
