Panera Bread

"One of my least satisfactory visits from Panera. The employees decided forget about us and turn off the lights. To be fair it was late but check who's in the store before starting to close or at least let me know if we needed to leave. They seemed pretty dismissive of the mistakes made. Made me feel a bit unwelcome to comeback to this Panera anytime soon."

"At first, I felt that it was expensive until I opened the bag of food from the drive through. I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich with a coke and my wife ordered the broccoli and cheese soup bread bowl and two cookies. We discovered two BBQ chicken sandwiches, a nice size bread bowl and cup of broccoli cheese soup, two large cookies and a nice piece of French bread and a coke for $27. Thinking about the price, two meals from McDonald's for less food is easily the same price or more."

"After my visit to Panera in Clairmont Florida I swore that would be my last. Today, because I'm not familiar with area I'm at was forced to go to Panera Iowa City Route 6. The service was excellent, the veggies on my sandwich were fresh & crisp and the soup was piping hot. Very good!"

"Panera has made some great improvements in recent years switching to increasingly more nutritious food. The convenience of ordering with the app is a real plus. Great atmosphere and plenty of seating options. UPDATE on 28 Sep 2023, I had originally posted the above review about 4 years ago. I wanted to provide an update. Today I stopped in for a to-go order, some food that was set aside since it wasn't showing as available in the app. The items put in my bag weren't what I requested. The person on the phone probably didn't understand my request, or it was relayed to someone else. In any event, once home, realizing one of the items was incorrect, I called the restaurant to let them know. Whoever answered the phone was very apologetic and quickly offered to provide an exchange or gift cards to compensate for the error. It was nice to have the problem resolved. The 5-star rating remains."

"I am super happy with my food! Usually in some locations I’ve been in, I feel cheated with the portions of food and other times the rice is not completely cooked and it’s hard! I’m very satisfied with the service and food! Definitely returning!!"
