Panera Bread Reviews
Worst sandwich I have ever ordered. Ordered a simple grilled cheese. What I received was apparently two slices of cheese that had been either microwaved or somehow grilled alone then placed on two pieces of white soft bread. Who doesn’t know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich?! How is it possible? Somebody works as a cook and does not know that they grill the whole sandwich not just the cheese.? I tried to put it in a pan and grilled the bread when I got home but...read full review
Ruined their menu to cost save. Felt like I was eating scraps. Who wants to pay to eat the kind of meal you have to eat when you have to make due at home cause need to get groceries? Used to enjoy eating there and that’s what they’re still making money from - their menu before they kept whittling it down to basically kitchen scraps. Not paying anymore for the kind of meal you throw together when you run out of stuff and make just cause you need to eat something.
Very slow service and food was the worst
Staff very rude. Also kiosks we’re not working saying they were out of bake goods. Then when I ask for them to add they got mad that they had to ring it up them selves. Very rude. Oh yeah, then asking for a tip😳

Panera Bread offers a mixed experience. The staff can be friendly and quick, but also unfriendly. Food quality can vary, with some dishes poorly made. Cleanliness is a concern, with uncleared tables and overflowing trash cans. However, some menu items, like the French onion soup, are popular and served hot. The ordering system can be inconvenient and lead to mistakes.
The restaurant seems to struggle with staffing, as customers have reported long waits for a cashier. The drive-thru experience has also been less than desirable, with forgotten silverware, missing sides, and incorrect drink orders.
Despite these issues, some customers have had positive experiences. One customer enjoyed a relaxing atmosphere and a fresh chicken salad. Another customer, who had low expectations, was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, clean interior, and accurate special requests.
