Description

At this restaurant, visitors experience a mix of commendable service and notable shortcomings. Many highlight the friendly and attentive staff, praising their upbeat demeanor and helpfulness. However, concerns arise regarding food quality and cleanliness, with reports of poor maintenance, unappetizing meals, and delivery mishaps. While some enjoy delightful soups and fresh sandwiches, others find the portions lacking and disappointing. Despite its potential, the location struggles with operational consistency. Diners are encouraged to enjoy the diverse menu but are advised to go in with tempered expectations regarding overall service and food presentation. A solid choice for a quick meal, but improvements are necessary.

This restaurant is fantastic with a wide selection of food and drink options. The staff is welcoming and upbeat. The young woman who took our orders was courteous, knowledgeable and hospitable. Kudos to the management for hiring individuals like her.

I enjoy trying something new every time I visit this restaurant, as they have a variety of sandwich and soup options. It is my wife's favorite spot for lunch, so we make sure to go at least once a week. It can be difficult to find a table during lunch hours due to its popularity. The bakery offers a wide selection of items, including more than just bread.

I always enjoy the food at Panera. The girl who took my order today was friendly, engaging, and helpful. However, my issue as a customer is that the lettering for the menu items is small and hard to read, making it confusing and time-consuming to read everything completely. I don't go very often, and I get frustrated when the items have been changed on the order board without notice.

I've always enjoyed their hazelnut coffee and pumpkin muffins! Salads are delicious too!

Used the drive thru and received great service. But when I opened the whole Green Goddess Salad almost the whole avocado was brown and black (see pics) and inedible. Not sure why an employee would think it's OK to put in the salad OR why another employee stacking the clear plastic bowl in the bag would be willing to give it to a customer. Overall...this is a decent location. Just disappointed this time.
