I enjoy hanging out at Panera and ordering their lunch food. They have a lot of options and you can customize everything. Some cheaper options like the "value duets" or "you pick 2", but can be a little expensive if you get a whole entree or "you pick 2" with expensive choices. I try to find a discount code when I can. The service is exceptional, over time some people have started remembering me and will say "hi" and ask me how my day was. A lot of employees are genuinely friendly, like August and Misty. A nice place to meet a friend at, study or do work at, or sit and hang out because it's cooler than your house lol.
Something that could be improved on is the power outlets as the ones by the drink fountain don't work well, and there's a few times I've seen water on the floor and had to alert an employee about a tripping hazard. Also, this is not with the employees, but the way this Panera was built is quite open-spaced and has 0 privacy lol, and around 2-6 the sun will shine heavily onto the patio/front area and block your vision. Otherwise, this place is great, the service and food are...
Read moreI used to go to different locations a lot but it seems the flavors might have a bit of a change. The chicken soup I didn't care for anymore it used to be my favorite, the steak and cheese sandwich had no meat and way to much sauce couldn't taste anything other than that super tangy or zesty whatever it was. Broccoli and cheese soup was good and the Mac and cheese broccoli kind tasted just like the soup with pasta but sadly the pasta was over done, bread was hard, chips were really good and so was the turkey BLT wasn't skimpy at all. That muffin chocolate chip cookie thing was just like a fluffier cookie not bad. Oh and lastly the soda tasted like mostly carbonated water. I had to save to take my kids here I'm sad it was such a disappointment. The seating inside and out is nice. It took a good few mins for some to take my order. Looked like the manager was there or some people of importance but still it took forever and everyone disappeared after the conversation they were having. Wish I would of gotten a receipt. Over 50 bucks almost 60 to just to be hungry and...
Read more$32 for two people. One salad, one "pick 2" & 2 drinks. Indoor seating is totally crowded, Tables are back-to-back with very little room to move between them or even pull out a chair to sit down. There are a couple to :long booth" tables that you would need to share with others. It doesn't appear that Panera has taken any social distancing into account. There is some outside seating as well. I had a turkey and avocado sandwich which I was mostly displeased with. The sandwich consisted of ONLY two small bite-sized cubes of Turkey and two very thin slices of avocado. I had a totally difficult time getting a small cup of mayonnaise for my sandwich. The cashier did not think the kitchen had mayonnaise! I finally had to go ask them myself and yes they did have it. The salad that my friend had looked very ample and she said it was very tasty. I think there are very high prices for the small amount of food that you get for...
