    The food was good. Some of the best I've had from Panera in a long time. The girl who ended up helping me was wonderful, but their ordering kiosk let me order 2 things of which they did not have, and then it put me in the queue behind 20 (yes 20) other people. I'm not sure how? Because I don't think there were even 20 other people in the restaurant. So this was very hit and miss. It will be awhile before I go back.
