Panera Bread Reviews
Ridiculous long wait for an order places in the app. They were obviously short staffed and prioritizing drive through orders. IMHO they should have shut down the drive thru to focus on the many dine in and take out orders that were stacked up. I would have asked for refund but honestly did not want to delay any other poor folks who had waited even longer!!!!
Do not recommend! 10 vegetable soup was all broth. There was not a teaspoonful of vegetables in the bowl.
Constantly out of items. Tried to order the chicken sandwich on multiple occasions only to be told they don’t have it even though it’s their signature sandwich. As a substitute, tried to order the teriyaki chicken sandwich and they didn’t have that either. Was told they have NO BOWLS, NO CHICKEN SANDWICHES. This happens quite frequently. Do not recommend this location.

Panera Bread offers a consistent dining experience with good food and some standout menu items like the mac and cheese. The restaurant has been known to host unique events, such as allowing an employee to wear a fursuit, which adds a fun surprise for customers. The music selection can be hit or miss, with some customers wishing for a change in the playlist. Prices for some items, like bagels and soup, may be high, especially when ordering online, where a "convenience fee" and delivery charges can make the cost seem excessive. Despite these minor issues, the restaurant remains a reliable place to enjoy a meal. Customers often find the staff friendly, the dining area clean, and the food satisfying, especially the toasted cinnamon crunch bagel and broccoli cheese soup.
