In what country is that considered a bowl worth of soup!?!?!? It was over $18! With a half sandwich, now a whole! At lease I know not to go backthere again which is sad because I work close by and would go all the time if it was reasonable.

Well... that's what I ordered. What I GOT was a dry, overcooked (sat under heat lamps for hours? chicken filet on abun slathered in some anonymous sauce... with NOTHING else on the bun. I removed the cold chicken to heat it up and took pics ofthe bun, as it was served to me. I did end up putting my own sauce and veggies on the sandwich, but nothing was saving that bitof chicken leather. I ended up feeding a chunk of the chicken to my dog. Nothing against the employees, and I sometimes enjoythe coffee and baked goods here. But... WOW. For a $10+ sandwich, throw a pickle on there, or something.

While I generally think Panera is good, I rarely leave a restaurant feeling unsatisfied and still hungry—but that’s exactly how I felt after breakfast here. I’m not a regular at Panera and have been there fewer than five times, but I’m confident their lunch and dinner are tasty, though a bit pricey. However, their breakfast menu needs reconsideration. When I arrived, I was pleased to see breakfast options, but the selection was limited—mainly a few sandwiches and lots of oatmeal. That’s fine if they do a few things well. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on brioche, which looked appetizing, along with a cookie and iced coffee. I struggled to find a good side to go with the sandwich, and the staff taking my order didn’t offer any suggestions. After wandering around trying to locate the iced coffee, another employee kindly helped me find it. The layout of this Panera felt oddly arranged and not very user-friendly, making me question my own observation skills. When I finally got my food, it looked decent at first, but the taste disappointed. The sandwich had one bland slice of bacon in the center, bland cheese, and an undercooked over-easy egg with raw whites. I enjoy over-easy eggs, but this one was clearly not properly cooked. The bread ended up being the best part of the sandwich. Maybe the restaurant was having an off morning, but I probably won’t be having breakfast here again anytime soon. On a positive note, the chocolate chip cookie was delicious, though the iced coffee was lacking. Overall, I’d rate this experience a 3 out of 5 because Panera is generally reliable.

Where is the rest of the pickles they advertise for this sandwich? I got crumbs? 6 people working in back and 1 person up front who needs help taking orders. 40 bucks for all my food and my sandwich is basically cold. Irecommend not going here.

It seems that they might be adequately staffed, so there weren't long wait times and the quality was actually worth the price. All of thestaff was so friendly and the place was pretty clean.

While the staff did make a couple of errors with our order, they quickly fixed everything as soon as we pointed it out.

I've had their Margherita pizza twice, and it has been consistently excellent both times. Thank you! read more I've had their Margherita pizza twice, and it has been consistently excellent both times. Thank you!
