“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Here in St. Louis. On our way to Maui. Phil and the staff very helpful and friendly. Food was amazing , many different flavors. The sauces really spiked our taste buds. A+++++. 👍👍“

“The concept of this place is really cool. The ingredients are fresh and they offer a wide variety of selection for what you can put in your bowl and your soup base. It didn't take long for the staff to cook my bowl. Very delicious and filling. What a unique experience!“

“Decided to try a new dish somewhere new to me. This was the best of Chinese options. Small. Unpretentious. Cheap. My entire lunch special was $6.99. I can't remember what I last saw prices like this, and the food was great. A little sweet. A little spicy.“

“Love the food, love the friendly service. if this is your first time ordering take your time. there’s a lot to choose from. he will help you with whatever you need. if it is your second time he will more than likely remember your order, and always remembers his customers will always go back“

“Moving my reviews off Yelp. This one was originally published in 2016 but I was back multiple times. Great place!

I had never heard of this place before a yelp friend suggested we go there for lunch. Now that I know about them, I will certainly be back. In fact, I've already decided which of my customers will be my next lunch invite to the place.

I had a soup & sandwich combo. I was expecting a smaller portion of each that would add up to a whole meal. What I got was more like a whole sandwich and a bowl of soup with a fresh pretzel breadstick. Probably a meal and a half.

Everything was delicious! The au jus that came with their interpretation of a French dip was beefy without being overly salty. The bread was soft with a nice bit of chewiness. The beef was not the star of the sandwich and that was a little bit of a letdown. The high point though was the cheese. French dip is generally a very tasty sandwich but everything is better with brie! I also had their roasted red pepper soup. I probably should have consumed it first but I got really excited by the sandwich and that plan went right out the window. I did finish my soup and I enjoyed the salty, chewy breadstick very much. I ate more than I had planned to eat for lunch but everything was just so good!

A few quick observations:

* They seem to develop a line to the door at lunch. Go early, go late or plan to wait.
* Don't do the soup & sandwich unless you're really hungry.
* They have small brownies for a buck or so. I'm trying to avoid eating dessert with lunch these days but they were awfully tempting.“

“The best beef fried rice around. Fair prices and great service.“

“Fantastic sandwiches and a fair price. Bread is outstanding!“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“Ok, not your typical garden restaurant. Take a look at the salmon rye or avocado 🥑 toast pics. Really tasty well prepared items in an indoor or outdoor dining space. Very nice. Give this place a chance next time you visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Great for a refreshing lunch.“

“My family love like 👍 good food 🍱“

“St. Louis Bread is one of my favorite lunch spots. I absolutely love the artichoke sandwiches. The people are always friendly and get your order out fast.“

“Bread bowls lately are a disappointment, no matter which soup I try in it. Bread is tasteless and kind of wrinkles up. I don't know how to explain it. This has always been my favorite thing to get there, even in the summer but the ladt 4 times, the bread was a disappointment.“

“The reviews did not do this place justice.

There was a large variety of buffet items including salad and dessert bars. The food was hot and fresh. Some items on the buffet were new to me but I tried them and I really liked everything I put on my plate.

The streamed dumplings had much more filling than I am used to seeing, the stick chicken didn't have sticks but they were better than I'm used to, and I was very happy with the Mongolian beef as it was not spicy at all and some places make it very spicy.

I did not see ice cream. I was not overly disappointed because I was quite full from the meal and was content with some mandarin oranges and a piece of coffee flavored cake.

The price was nice, also. It was $12.75 plus tax for an adult and most Chinese buffets at lunch are a couple dollars higher than this. The supper buffet is $15.45 plus tax and all day Sunday is that same price, which is again, a couple dollars cheaper than other places I have been.“

“Staff is always friendly and the food is good. My only real gripe is I miss the fireplaces. Always made for coziness.“

“The service was great! They brought the food to the table. They cleared the table and wiped it down for us. They put the plates away. The food was good too.“

“Came for a fundraiser and food was yummy. Amber was so nice and helpful.“

“I had a horrible experience the last time I was at Panera Bread in this Central West End location and was definitely hesitate on returning again. I love Panera Bread though and decided to try again … Shanda B., Jayla H., & Devin Y., were all on staff when I decided to try again & they made sure me and my guy food was fresh and accurate. I’m pleased to know there are still people in customer service that care because some people truly don’t! I thank the night shift on Friday night & I’m going again on Saturday to get the same thing. Thank you Panera Bread and the night shift from a loyal loving customer. Job well done.“
