“As a long time customer of the Posh Nosh, I have to say the service, atmosphere , and food is impressive. The Rachel is my go to sandwich, however , any sandwich will satisfy any palate. The Matzo Ball soup and Chile are two of my favorites as well. Kudos to the new owner for sprucing up the restaurant.“

“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+++++. 👍👍“

“This was such a cute little family owned restaurant. While it looked like most people picked up for delivery, you can eat in and they give you paper plates. We ordered the popcorn chicken which had fried basil in it and it was so unexpected and delicious! My littles loved the stir fry noodles. Also unexpected was what they called Chicken Chili stir fry! The pork belly melted in our mouths!! Absolutely delicious. We will be back“

They have a lot of broth to choose from, but they have dry stir fry as well.

Anything you pick is delicious.

“Ate the buffet with a group of friends 11/19/25. Food was fresh and well prepared. Several in the group who had Indian food elsewhere in the past, said India Palace was better than what they had previously. Reasonably priced and would definitely return.“

“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.“

“The staff was very helpful on the phone, answering the questions I had about the online ordering for catering, and helping me adjust my pick-up time. The food was ready right on time, and the staff member who loaded it into my car was very courteous. The food . . . was amazing - the best shrimp and grits ever! And the chunks of turkey in the red beans and rice - delicious!“

“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.“

“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“

“Service was great. Wonderful athmosphere. Food came out fast and it was delicious. I recommend this place!“

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

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“Sassafras is the perfect place to stop for lunch after exploring the Missouri Botanical Garden. I ordered the Turkey BLT, and it was outstanding—perfectly crispy bacon, fresh ingredients, and excellent flavor. The service was fast and friendly, and eating in such a beautiful, relaxing setting made it even better. Five stars all the way!“

“What an amazing lunch. Special shout out to Delores for being the best server in town. She was extremely friendly with a great attitude. She recommended the creamy mushroom ravioli and i am so happy I listened to her. It has a great sauce that I couldn't get enough of. The Fettuccine alfredo with broccoli was served hot and fresh. We didn't have much of a wait but even if we did it wouldn't have mattered. Olive Garden is lucky to have Delores working there. We can't wait for our next lunch.“

“Love my iced vanilla lattes!❤️“

“I truly enjoy visiting Panera Bread. The large self-order kiosks at the front make the ordering process quick and convenient. The food is consistently fresh and well-prepared, and the staff members are always friendly and professional.
I especially appreciate the two fireplaces, which create a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is plenty of seating available, making it a comfortable place to dine, work, or meet with friends. Meals are served promptly, which adds to the overall positive experience.
Overall, it is a welcoming and well-managed location that I highly recommend.“

“Everything was fresh, & delicious today like always! I love that even on the morning that we wake up late, and have to run out the door without a lunch packed, we have you guys to save us. Also, you've made staying meatless so much easier. �“

“I came in on a day where it was REALLY busy and a lot was going on. Luckily, I had time to sit and wait for my food. I had ordered ahead and Linda and Kat at the front were was trying to help me find my food. Then, Jacquelyn came over to speak with me and hesitantly told me it could be 15-20 minutes. Told her it was no problem and I had my NYT games to play. She offered me a free drink while I waited, apologized profusely, and checked in whenever they were working on my order. It was a hectic day but the customer service was doing a great job.“

“I go to PB for soup.
Some time they fill full bowl, sometime almost half.
My friend had chicken soup but only 3 pics of 1/2inch cubes.
Manager always corrects it.
Suggest following :
1. Train and test your people regularly.
2. Use video at serving station for manager to see whenever...
3.for chicken, let us know how many cubes to expect in a large bowl or a cup.
PB is outstanding organization.They certainly don't want to shortcut on details.
Manag3nt has work cut out to address above problems.
PS: I am continuing to go to PB.“

“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.“

“My family love like 👍 good food 🍱“

“I have been coming to Joy Luck for many many years. In all the times I have patroned this restaurant, it has NEVER disappointed. The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable with the perfect amount of lighting and an aroma of freshly made cuisine that gets your mouth watering as soon as you enter. As for the food; I have occasionally ordered an entrée, which was absolutely perfectly prepared, but I mostly order the buffet. The buffet is quite possibly the best in St. Louis. It continuously has the freshest selections from their salad items all the way to their hot foods. No matter the time or day, I walk out, not only impressed, but left wishing I had not gotten that last plate. It is absolutely delicious. The staff who see you are taken care of are attentive and eager to assist you in any way they can. I never thirst for a refill, that's for sure!! Overall, Joy Luck is by far one of the best restaurants in St. Louis I have ever experienced, and I look forward to my next visit.“

“Something about this bread co just stands out above the rest.
Isaiah takes personal care of his guests in the store. I come in maybe 2-3 times a week and he always has my breakfast ready to hand to me, instead of placing it on the cold hard counter.“

“They have me the wrong salad dressing and I put it on my salad, before I realized. I had to go back to get another salad. I was testy, but they remained friendly and professional. They gave me a generous compensation for having to return. Thank you Panera Bread Crestwood.“

“Broccoli cheddar soup is to die for - turkey bravo is delicious! You Pick 2 is my #goto“

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

“great staff and on par service“

“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.“

“Everything was amazing! 👏“
