They have never made a sandwich for me that was edible. I do not know why I have given them so many chances! It is a complete waste of money to go to this location. I just spent nine dollars and I had to throw everything out because it was disgusting and I not edible! it also took 45 minutes to get my order ready. Also, the condition of the kitchen is very poor. They need to do some deep cleaning. There are stains from different sauces all over the kitchen that have been there for a long time. The computer monitor that you can see the back of from the lobby is covered in dust! This time was truly their last chance. I am done wasting my money at this place! Every day they are sold out of tons of things, especially bagels very early in the morning. This is because they don’t make the amount of bagels and other items that they are supposed to make and they never will.96th at location almost always has bagels.This is the worst location I have ever been to! They’ve also served me a burnt croissant sandwich in the past. every time I have ordered a lunch sandwich, they make it completely wrong. They messed up my lunch sandwiches at least three times for me before I stopped ordering them!there’s so many problems with this location! Unfortunately, I give places too many chances. I saw that they finally weren’t sold out of the bagels that was a miracle.I ordered two sliced bagels and an almond pastry.The bagels they did not slice properly. They sliced them evenly at the 96th street location here they always slice them all jagged. Then I looked in my bag for my almond pastry, and they had given me a brownie instead! The employee offered me the brownie for free, but I declined and told them they could throw it out. At least they had an almond pastry.Hopefully this will be the last chance I ever give this place because I have spent way too much money and they have messed up my order over half a dozen times! My order was very simple this time and they still could not get it right I really don’t understand!

One of the best restaurants in existence... Panera. It is good quality and tastes even better than you'd expect. It's somewhat expensive though, at least when you compare it to Arby's, which is very close to this particular Panera. Sandwiches at Panera are incredible quality though, from the way the meat is cooked to the texture and taste of the bread. I got a side of bread too, which was not the greatest choice... would be a good choice if I had ordered a soup though. The bread (as a side) is somewhat hard on the edges, which is by design. You either like that or you don't - I mean they also offered an apple or chips as a side. When I was sick one time, my fiancée picked up some chicken soup for me from Panera, and it was amazing. They have lots of varieties, not just chicken, but it's the classic "I am sick" food. The prices are too high for me to buy a whole sandwich and a whole soup - most people would buy the half sandwich + small soup combo, as it is likely the most common menu option here - but I just choose one or the other because whatever you get is too good to only have a small amount! If you're really wanting to splurge though, get a whole sandwich and whole soup, and go for one of those awesome drinks too. They make all these fancy teas and lemonades and such. They have lots of coffee options as well, but I prefer tea, so I've yet to try it. Really it's hard to go wrong with Panera, other than if you were wanting to go all the time, in which case you'd be spending all your money eating here instead of Arby's. I only go like once every 4 months though, which keeps it affordable as a lunch option and keeps it awesome.

Panera Bread is one of the best family-friendly restaurants for fresh, healthy meals served in a relaxed café-style environment. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with kids and adults alike. The menu is full of options that range from soups and salads to sandwiches, bowls, and bakery items, so there’s something for everyone.

For adults, I recommend the You Pick Two option, which allows you to pair a half sandwich, half salad, or a soup. A favorite combination is the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. The sandwich is warm, flavorful, and filling, while the soup is creamy and comforting—perfect for a balanced meal. Pairing it with one of their fresh iced teas or lemonades makes it even better.

For kids, Panera Bread offers a great children’s menu with smaller, healthier portions. The Grilled Cheese with a side of fresh fruit is a classic that kids love, and the Mac & Cheese is another favorite—creamy, cheesy, and portioned just right for younger appetites. Parents can feel good knowing the kids’ meals are wholesome and made with quality ingredients.

What makes Panera Bread family-friendly is the variety of menu options, the ability to customize meals, and the relaxed dining atmosphere. The bakery section with cookies, bagels, and pastries is always a hit with kids, while adults appreciate the healthier choices and fresh flavors. Panera is also a convenient option with online ordering, delivery, and a clean dining space that makes family meals stress-free.

Panera Bread is a reliable choice for families who want fresh food, affordable pricing, and a restaurant where everyone can find...
