Panera Bread — Restaurant in Town of De Witt

I'm only doing a review because I ordered something new on their menu. The Ciabatta Cheesesteak.

I modified the order to change provolone for American cheese. I know, I know, Tommy, American cheese is so pedestrian. I don't care. Provolone can overpower, and I wanted to get a good sense of the overall flavor profile. I also nixed the peppers. It's fine if you like that, I don't.

With that being said. The steak was cooked nicely and tender. The Ciabatta was toasted, thumbs up for that. The caramelized onions were slightly sweet and cooked just right. I never would have thought to put garlic aioli on a steak sandwich, but that was a game changer. Level up.

If I'm being completely honest, I would have liked a little more steak in my cheesesteak, but I ain't mad about it.

To me, this is not a Philly cheesesteak, nor does it claim to be. You gotta Ciabatta,...

We have always enjoyed Panera for so many reasons fresh organic food, great coffee, amazing dessert, organic drinks and cool vibe of the place.

We felt the same at the location. Customer service was fast, crowd was busy inside and outside of the restaurant. Menu was clear from the distance and the kiosk was working as well. I heard it’s much faster but they are useful when it’s crowded.

Right after we ordered our meal, we would see our order on the screen usually they don’t work right but surprisingly it was working and our order took longer than usual. But I ignored it since the chicken frontaga was delicious 🤤.

The only complaint I have is, why do they make only limited desert. Like this is the third or fourth time that we were looking for chocolate brownie but they don’t have it. :/

Recommended food: pick 2 chicken frantiaga with white rice...

Not great. I won't come here again for a while. Much worse than it used to be sadly. Not worth the price at all. I go here to get a bowl of chicken noodle soup and since my bowl wasn't really filled completely, I respectfully asked if I could have more since there was not much in it. They said they had "pre-made" portions, and that was the reason why they couldn't give me more. If you make soup in a pot, reasonably, you could just take a scoop of soup and add more. At least have good customer service when I have to pay $7.50 for just a small bowl of soup with little to nothing in it. NOTE: Take-out portions are even worse, so the "pre-made" portion thing doesn't even make any sense. At least the soup tasted fine, and would be sort of worth if it was like 5 bucks. It shouldn't be this expensive to...
