- SMSpencer Malcolm3 days ago1.0Drive thru takes 30 minutes.
- SBSheila BootsNov 7, 20253.0Soup not very hot and sandwich was ok. Hardly anyone in restaurant and it was noon.
- SBSammi BinkleyNov 1, 20252.0I do not recommend this location. Both times I have been here I have waited insanely long to get my food. 30 minutes in the drive through and when dinning in, it was an hour. There were several people going up to the counter getting refunds for the wait.
- CMCandy MingsNov 1, 20255.0Isabelle, the window cashier on Saturday 11/1 is doing an AMAZING job!! You got this girl ❤️
- JRJason RoskopfOct 22, 20251.0I was charged $38.69 for food I never got after cancelling my order less than two minutes after placing it. The Panera website says a bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup is $8.59 and a brownie is $3.99, but Uber Eats tried to charge $10.79 per soup and $4.99 per brownie, plus a $20 delivery fee — even though I pay for Uber One, which should give me free delivery. When I cancelled right away, the app said it was successful but then claimed I still had to pay “to compensate the restaurant.” Now I’m stuck filing a credit card dispute just to get my money back. Customer service doesn’t take phone calls anymore, and the chat bot refuses to refund anything. Absolutely ridiculous — charged in full for nothing. Avoid this Panera until they fix their pricing and refund policies.
