    I looked forward to eating here, but have not done so in years. I was really disappointed. The food tasted good, but the portions were small. Photos show a full bowl of soup. I received a half. Mens bathroom was the dirtiest I've seen! Not up to Panera standards of old. Rusted trash can. Papers on the floor. Cleanliness is such a simple concept.

    I think this place gets a bad wrap most people who write bad reviews have never worked in a kitchen and don’t know the stress every time I go here this place is packed drive thru line at least 4-5 cars deep. The food is great for what it is and the workers are great if you are patient and nice to them they will return that kindness!

    I recently visited Panera in Lorton, VA. I stopped before the autotrain to Sanford Florida. The manager TK Flores-Marquez was exceptional. I observed him cleaning tables and engaging with customers. He was stopping by tables and basically attending to their every need. My personal experience was over the top customer service. The food was good and the environment was very clean. TK was a stand out.. fan favorite amongst the coworkers and the customers. Please recognize him and his store for excellence!

    Amna, a substitute cashier, was gracious and professional. The Lorton Panera has well trained, friendly employees who serve very fresh food and keep the restaurant clean, even when it is busy. Amna provided exceptional customer service.
