Panera Bread

"Ordered delivery to work. Rec'd wrong food, way overpriced. Ordered Chix Caprese melt @ $20.00, rec'd sans Chix and even if I ordered it sans Chix it was like $14-15.00. Ridiculous for 3 slices of tomato, 2 slices of cheese and some spread."

"This Panera Bread is awesome overall. The Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt is unmatched, and the Creamy Tomato soup is pretty good as well. This Panera specifically deserves the 5 stars because they always have all the ingredients to make my order (Yes, I’ve been to other nearby Paneras that didn’t offer this same luxury). Staff are always welcoming and relatively quick in making my order. The seating area is decent and clean."

"Just returned from Pamera. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. It was priced for $12 as a pick -2 deal. I considered it very pricy, but still ordered hoping it may be a good sandwich as I had never eaten a spicy chicken sandwich at panera before. When I got the sandwich it was just a average piece of meat, looked like a synthetic meat, no tomato, no lettuce or any good dressing on it, within two buns. Buffalo sause on one of the buns. On tasting, it was high in salt, horrible tasting and did not feel like it was a chicken sandwich in texture. For this type of sandwich no one should pay even 2 dollars. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich for half the price is thousand times better. Then panera ask you for tip when you insert your credit card in the machine on the counter. TIP FOR WHAT?? PANREA SHOULD BE ASHMED. THE TABLES WERE DIRTY. NO ONE SHOWED UP FOR ANYTHING IN THE EATING AREA. EVERYTHING WAS A SELF-SERVICE. PANERA IS USING THE TECHNOLOGY TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AS CUSTOMERS HAVE TO DECIDE FOR TOP WHEN THE CLERK IS WATCHING YOU. IT IS A SHAME THAT MANY RESTAURANTS ARE NOW ASKING FOR TIP PRIOR TO DELIVERING THE SERVICE. IS THE TIP FOR THE CLERK FOR TAKING YOUR ORDER, HOW GOOD HE/SHE BEHAVED?? TIP SHOULD BE GIVEN ONLY IF THE SERVICE IS GOOD AS IN OLD DAYS. THIS IS A BUTCHERY OF TECHNOLOGY AND FOR TIPPING IN RESTAURANTS. MY VIEWS. BECAUSE I COULD NOT EAT THE SPICY CHICKEN SANDWITCH MORE THAN TWO BITES. I HAD TO THROW IT IN THE TRASH. A TOTAL WASTE OF MY MONEY. I AM NOT GOING TO PANERA AGAIN. YOU SHOULD ALSO THINK HARD BEFORE ORDERING THE SPICY CHICHEN SANDWITCH AT PANERA."

"I've loved Panera since it was st. Louis bread company and I had the fortitude and physique to eat the broccoli cheddar bread bowels with hazelnut coffee 25 years ago. The hazelnut coffee still carries the same joyful Aroma that it did back in the day. Now I temper it with a hefty dollop of almond milk and decaf coffee taking full advantage of their $8.99 unlimited sip club. Walk into any Panera and what really makes the difference are the employees who joyfully greet you, for the most part. When you stop by as frequently as I do for the free coffee you get to recognize familiar people. It is those very people which make Panera successful. And the ridiculous value of the Sip club. The food is okay; and my wife finally calls it Hospital food. I've enjoyed it many times and it is consistently what it is. From the classic ham and cheese sandwich to the famous cheddar broccoli soup it delivers a satisfying meal."

"I placed an order to go. We only had a short time to eat before a meeting. When we could stop to eat, we realized our order was wrong. They gave us chips instead of bread and no utensils to eat with. We couldn’t eat a salad or soup without utensils. We called the place, the manager said there was nothing she cold do other than advice me to return to get utensils. I had no time left to eat, im diabetic and can’t eat after certain hours, however the manager instead that I couldn’t get a refund because there was nothing wrong with the food. Im taking the food back to the store after my meeting because I cant eat it any more. Instead im using the time I had to eat to wrote this review, to inform you that this restaurant is only responsible for the food they serve but not to provide utensils to eat their food with."
