    Love the bread. A hearty crunchy Italian style. Not doughy like other places with their white sub rolls.

    The food quality was good, although the sandwich was put together horribly. A very average experience.

    I was driving through and saw that you have a Panera bread in Wausau and I was so excited about it. I went in there and the manager. Lisa was amazing. She took care of my order right away. I had questions about gluten-free products and she answered those and suggested a few other things. I ended up getting a bunch of bagels for my family and they all loved it thank you so much Lisa for your help. You were so nice and I appreciate that you don’t get that very often anymore from people. It was nice to be treated like family

    Not impressed. Last night I ordered the chicken garden caprice but with added chicken. The guy then said "if you get the chicken fontega and replace the chipollete with the garlic sauce and then add the lettuce it will be the exact same" I said ok. Only to find out they didnt put the dark green lettuce on my sandwich like I asked they put iceberg lettuce on it. Not following what my origional order was. Then they said they would remake it. They remade it but fast. And after I pulled out I took a bite and the chicken was cold in the middle. Not worth 15 dollars for one sandwich. They also didnt give em a baget and didnt even ask if I wanted one.
