Panera Bread

"i grew up in Hampton Bays and have been coming to this location at least 2 times per week on a regular basis with family as long as I can remember. My most recent job was across the street from this location and I went almost every day to support them whether it was just for a coffee or lunch or dinner before they close for the day. Due to a few unfortunate circumstances, I became temporarily homeless this month for a few weeks and have been going to Panera to use the bathroom in the morning and grab something like a drink or tea when I am able to get enough money together during these tough times. the manger (brown hair, average size man with mustache, all of a sudden has a problem with me sitting in the restaurant. I did the same thing when I was not homeless and like I said have been coming to this location since I was a child so me and my family spent more than your average family over the years. I refuse to go back and recommend this location until the manager apologizes to the local homeless folks (I am not the first he offended and discriminated) I cannot spend another cent here out of principle and would not recommend giving him your business."

"They got rid of my favorite salads and meals and made a new “era” so sadly don’t think I’ll be going anymore as nothing really strikes me anymore and it’s gotten more expensive (really just like everything else has too so I get that but I don’t find the food worth it). If I had reviewed Panera a few years ago I would’ve given a rave review for their older menu. I know restaurants have to change but for some of us that now means we likely won’t go anymore. But this location itself was always nice and clean, sometimes a little short staffed but the restaurant itself wasn’t bad."

"Don’t order the half balsamic chicken greens and grains- not worth the money- especially since there’s no chicken! And there was only one piece of avocado and no bread with it. I have had the whole one before and that was ok."

"Tired of getting home with my order and a key ingredient is missing. No quality control apparently. Otherwise, food is generally good but at these high prices you need to provide reasonable service."

"The food is good but they always forget to put the sauce on my chicken sandwich, whether its bbq chicken or chipotle chicken. I end up with plain chicken.. not a happy camper.. **UPDATE** 11/20/2020 Recently went and their Flatbread pizzas are decent for not being a Pizza place. But I also tried the broccoli and cheddar mac N cheese and for $6 for a small you'd think they would fill it to the top.. a little skimpy in my opinion.. **UPDATE** 11/11/2021 Once again ordered a chipotle chicken Avocado melt and did not get the chipotle.. I don't understand. Its literally in the name and they never put the sauce on it. I don't get."
