Love this place! Its my hangout spot to read and relax...
I absolutely love Panera Bread Sandhills, not just the food but the people there. Brandi and Brianna are awesome managers and Maria and Cherish up front rock!!! I love them.
Great restaurant. Very clean and airy. Very efficient staff, quick service and easy parking. Typical Panera food, always tasty, and nice location in a strip mall with stores.
Fast, friendly & delicious. We love the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad.
I visit this location often and I’m always happy with the food & service, especially when Valerie is working! She is an awesome example of how management should supervise, plus she remembers just about every customer either by name or face! I hope Panera knows what they have in this young lady, she makes you feel so welcomed.
This Panera is better than the one downtown in my opinion. Even so, they have room for improvement. The food is generally good, but it's mainly the staff that can be unreliable, depending on the time and day.
For instance, the other afternoon around 3, I ended up checking the bathroom 3 times because there was no tissue in the ladies room, over the course of an hour and a half. Also, I witnessed a manager having to pretty much argue with 2 workers to get back to work. I thought were off duty by the way they were sitting down chatting. Turns out they were still on duty and were just not working. Not a good look, especially when me and several other customers were sitting in the same area.
But then today I go in, bathrooms are clean and all the employees are working. This was mid morning. Again, pretty solid experience, I guess just depends on the day and time. 🤷
