    Unfortunately the coffee had some grounds in it from the decaf canister. Otherwise everyone was great and it was very consistent with other Paneras.

    Used to go here all the time but since the shopping center installed Flock cameras that sell license plate tracking info (and work with ICE) I haven't and won't return.

    No politeness, no smiles. No pride in having excellent customer service. Average tasting food. But clean looking facility.

    Not sure how to rate. I usually get a turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Sandwiches are not made as nicely as used to be. The avocado is in chunks, and not many, the turkey is in bits and pieces like a patchwork quilt. Not very conducive to eating. I usually cut the avocado into slices, albeit very small ones, but at least flat. The turkey meat is such a jumble that I just have to hold the sandwich in such a way the meat doesn't fall off. No rice sliced larger oieces. But I find this to be true of all the sandwiches. Flavor is still Good!
