    I had one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten at a Panera Bread. I ordered the avocado chipotle chicken scrambled egg sandwich, and it was prepared very poorly. The chicken was still frozen, the bread was stale, and they didn’t even include the avocado. When I reported the issue, they were unable to remake the sandwich. Very disappointing experience.

    Bad food: ordered a yogurt with fruit and received a pre-prepared yogurt with fruit that had turned bad and became watery. Order two steel cut oatmeals that were prepared and served wildly differently. One had a heap of sugar on top that would have sent me into diabetic shock had I not turned over the oatmeal first and dumped it out. Fortunately the oatmeal was so old and congealed that it stayed in place as I tipped the container to empty the sugar. All workers seemed disengaged. Panera as a franchise has went way down with respect to quality. I keep forgetting and re-remembering this every time I'm out of town and go to one. Very spotty from location to location.

    I like the location compared to those visited. The worst drive thru ever! The people in the drive though are just as worse. I watched people go in and come back out before us The wait is horrible even if you order ahead, order at window, or order in-app while waiting in line😒😮‍💨. They for some reason prefer to not use the drive thru wait lanes and make everyone else wait. Lazy would be more like it. Other than that the food be decent depending on the day.

    I have been sitting almost an hour for food and watched half of my order just sit on the counter. I am going to lose it if the food is cold and I have to reheat at home. Service didn't care and moved with no urgency. I understand short staffed, but nobody cared to do their job.
