This isn't my first time at this Panera, and I'm disappointed. I ordered a chicken sandwich and couldn't completely shred the whole pieces that were placed in the freezer. The caramelized onions on my husband's sandwich were awful, and the soups were terrible. It's very different from any other Panera I've been to. I'll definitely never go back to this one again.

I have placed several Panera catering orders before at other locations, but I was absolutely blown away by this location's service. I ordered 4 bagel packs that needed to be delivered to 4 separate locations. The employee who packed my order not only made sure the bagels were varied correctly, but also put the plates and cream cheeses in separate bags for easy delivery. I did not request this, they just did it because they thought it would be helpful. I would definitely order catering from this location again.

If I could give zero stars, I would I’m new to this location move not a week ago in morning to try this place out since I have never tried Panera bread before we will definitely say it be the last I got the four cheese soufflé in the steak and weight the soufflé was OK Way too creamy in the steak and bake. I wasn’t even able to eat. It was uneditable. The baguette that I had it on was so hard I couldn’t even bite it. I bit it in. I cracked it too, trying to eat. It will not be going here again.

Asian chicken salad was meh. Someone else in our party ordered a half sandwich-not a Pick 2 and it was more than the posted price. I was told they only posted the pick 2 prices. That's decieving. If I come back, I'll know better, Panera.
