I would highly recommend anyone passing by to stop in for breakfast lunch or dinner, though their breakfast is the most popular.”

    “I used to be a huge fan of Chick-fil-A and would eat there at least once a week. However, as my city expanded and developed, the chicken they serve back home became incredibly salty, spicy, and dry. Coming here brought back all the feelings from years ago—the casual, friendly conversations, the warm smiles, the fast yet patient service, and of course, the delicious chicken sandwiches. I will absolutely add this stop to my road trips in the future—even if it means making a detour just to come here.”

Have had good experiences but this was a total disaster. To top it off would not give me my receipt so I could stub. That was odd. Think meal was eleven something. Will try again and hope this was just a bad day.”

We have been ordering from this location for about 6-8 months and the staff (Ashley in particular) has been gracious and making a seemingly mundane task of ordering food a fun experience. The food is always fresh and quality is great. We had an issue with the last pizza not being very hot and spoke with Ashley tonight prior to ordering and she ensured the door dash driver placed the pizza in a delivery bag to keep it hot. Pizza came piping hot and yet another fast and great order from this location and staff, they deserve some kudos.”

    “I went for a Taco Salad last night ticket #3349 restaurant #00010925 Volunteer Parkway Bristol, Tn. I was served the slimiest, nastiest, grossed salad EVER for $9.28. It looked like a Science project. I had to drive ALL the way back and go in this time instead of the drive thru. I ask for a salad that was fresh. The lady looked into the frig were they are stored shook her head but didn't trash the other nasty ones they planned on serving but did request for me a new one fresh made as I requested. Was scared to eat it even because the man that made it was highly pissed when he brought it from the back. I never got an apology for my trouble, no manager spoke to me to apologize. Stood there forever and when I ask for a small cup for a drink since I had been waiting so long that was refused. I shall never eat there again. Times are tough and just to come home still scared to eat what they gave me because they were pissed is sad. Lesson learned $9.28 down the drain 😔 threw it away as well as my relationship with them.”

They were kind when I added on an M&M McFlurry at the payment window. I know, maybe I shouldn't have done that but I had forgotten to order at the speaker. I received the correct modifications to my burger and got all the sauces I asked for as well as an appropriate amount of napkins and did get the spoon and straw, some places forget those. I was pleased with my order and know that this is a location that I can return to for accurate and good service.”

They have the food ready when promised, the food is always fresh and hot, and all the items you order are there. Many restaurants could learn from my experience with Panda Express. They open at 10am, and I caterer a ton of meals each month for my job. I have never had to wait like I do from other places, and the staff here is incredibly nice and professional. I have worked with the manager Corey a few times and he is top notch. Now let’s talk about the food, value for the price, and ease of placing the order and picking it up. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The value of the quality of food, portion size, and variety are top tier. The apps for a group like the chess rangoons or egg rolls are really good. And as stated earlier, the food is ready on time and the entire staff is so helpful. 10/10 for this Panda Express”
