Panera Bread 1837 Homer M Adams Parkway, Alton, IL 62002

"We order Panera/delivery about twice a month. There has never been anything wrong with the food, not sure how there can be one star reviews. Yesterday my wife had a fav of hers, the pick 2 white mac and cheese and a Greek salad, great as always. I tried the tuna salad sandwich and it was amazing. Why $11.79? It's HUGE (had half for dinner and half for lunch today) and high quality. This isn't fast food. I always get the French onion soup, it's the best I've had. If we have breakfast, we always get the cinnamon crunch bagels with the walnut cream cheese tub. Yum!"

"I come here often because I have a sip club membership. The cost efficiency on that has been awesome and it's quick and easy to grab what I'm getting each day. The employees are always friendly and the inside is always clean."

"I swore I wouldn't return to Panera, but I received a gift card. I thought that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't taste like microwaved hospital food at 20 bucks a person? Nope...First- the grilled cheese. It was cheese placed on white bread and then microwaved. No grill marks. WHAT?! (This microwaved cheese bread was about $8. I think most people know grilled cheese is not just bread and cheese placed in a microwave.)The bagel was burned on 90% ot its surface. I received the incorrect soup and half was spilled in my bag and it seeped into the baguette. Which would be fine, but I abhor tomato soup. Oh, Panera! Why do I always come back and you always disappoint? For future customers, please know that grilled cheese is actually grilled and toasted bagels are toasted and not charred."

"When people think of restaurants they would describe their favorite, like with quality food and drinks, feeds your cravings, reliable service, and more. Panera Bread is my favorite restaurant for these reasons and even more. Panera Bread is an Italian restaurant located in Alton, IL. It serves breakfast from 6:00-10:30, and lunch from 10:30-9:00 pm. They focus on Italian food which specializes in pizza, subs, pasta, more. The reason I tried Panera Bread in the beginning was because my mom loves their coffee and requested that I try it. It took a long time for me to allow her to take me there. After living in Calhoun since I was 3, restaurants started to get tiring so we decided to try new ones around Jerseyville & Alton. I am qualified to write a review because I try different restaurants every Friday. This is how I ended up trying out Panera Bread in Alton, IL. As you can see I have many reasons. I would like to recommend Panera Bread for your next restaurant you try out. The first reason I would recommend Panera is because of their unique salads and subs. I have tried almost everything on their menu, but my over favorite is their southwest salad. The southwest salad is a salad dressed in a really good southwest dressing, with corn chips, and more. The second reason I recommend this restaurant is their seating. They have many options, they have booths, tables, and other little couches with tables to sit on. The restaurant is new, and smells really good. These are the main reasons why I would recommend Panera Bread Co. In conclusion, I will now discuss who I recommend this restaurant to. I would recommend Panera Bread to people who like pasta, subs, salads, and more italian food. I would also recommend this restaurant to someone who loves to sit in booths. I would recommend Panera to this type of person because they have a lot of Italian food, and many seating options. So, find a few friends, set a date, and go eat at Panera Bread Co. In Alton, IL."

"I got a pumpkin muffin. They are always so moist (hate that word), and they really do a great job getting them cooked to perfection. The bagel is a cinnamon crunch bagel, and the cream cheese is plain. I must say that the cream cheese cost well over the price of the bagel, but I always get it because I don't want to wait to get home to have a few bites. The sandwich is the grilled Mac and cheese sandwich. The chips come as an automatic side option; you can get a piece of a baguette or a pickle instead. My partner likes this sandwich, although it is filled with carbs. He has nothing to worry about in the department, though. If you get this, be prepared to take half home; it is a lot for anyone to handle. He also loves the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sandwich. He gets it with just meat cheese and sauce. The crispy fried onions are not something everyone would enjoy, so I recommend getting them on the side"
