Panera Bread

I've eaten here once before and simply wasn't impressed much, so it's not a place l would call a regular favorite, but since l had an hour long wait on a tow truck, l thought why not try it again while l waited. Upon my entry I was immediately and warmly greeted by a very enthusiastic staff member named Caidyn who was running the front register. The line progressed quickly and soon l was having my order taken. The menu is impressive in size and scope, leaving loads of opportunities to second guess on which selections you really want to try. By time l arrived at the register I'd already changed my mind a dozen times, thankfully Caidyn assisted me along with abundant cheerfulness and a note worthy willingness to assist me as l stumbled thorough the menu. I knew l wanted the French onion soup as l had recently read about it and it had some impressive reviews, so that was a given. Additionally l observed the Ham and Gouda melt sandwich on the menu board which sounded equally tempting. Combined with a bag of potato chips, l felt l had chosen wisely and would soon be enjoying a real treat. As l filled my drink at the self serve soda bar l noticed one of the staff members bussing tables. It didn't appear that tables remained unaddressed for very long. As l toured the dining area trying to find the best seat, l noticed that the seating area appeared clean and free of any unsightly issues. My food arrived in short order, delivered table side by another highly enthusiastic staff member who cheerfully extended her assistance if needed. Additionally upon delivery of my order, she had provided me with plastic tableware and abundant napkins, this rare seldom seen mastery of common sense allowed me to remain seated and immediately start enjoying my food without having to undertake a treasure hunt to aquire any necessary accessories to start eating. l was extremely pleased with the foods inviting presentation. It demonstrated that the kitchen staff had actually applied some pride in its production. I found my French onion soup to be deliciously delightful. Right on cue with those hefty reviews that l had recently read. Chalked full of flavorful caramelized onions in an equally delicious broth. My sandwich was equally delicious. While not stuffed with ingredients, it certainly wasn't lacking for anything, including favor. My bag of house brand chips were tasty and free of any deficiencies. Overall l truly felt treated and valued as a guest by any staff members whom l came into contact with. Additionally l found the dining area to be clean and free of any noticable deferred maintenance issues. I found my food to be hot, fresh, flavorful and extremely delicious. I truly felt that on this visit, it more then made up for the numerous short comings on my previous visit. I would gladly revisit this store for a nice meal. Panera proudly honors a 🇺🇲 military discount. 🇺🇲 This is a restaurant that l can easily recommend visiting.

I love the food there, always on point. But they gotta work on customer service. The cashier I had this last time was the worst. I walked in and mentioned that the app was giving me trouble, hoping she’d kinda help but she didn’t even acknowledge my statement. When I was ordering (a few different sandwiches) she kept trying to just like finish I guess, she’d be like “okay that’ll be…” giving me my total. I kept telling her I’m not done though. She seemed annoyed. Just gives a bad rep for this location. I will not go back. I rather drive out further than have her take my order again.

Get the sips club you get it free for 2 months and you can cancel after that you get juice and hot drinks like coffee for free every 2 hours so it's worth it just use a pre paid card so you don't get an unexpected charge that you didnt want I canceled it right away so I avoided that and they still gave me the sips club for 2 months it's nice to be able to get something cold to drink in this heat and coffee when it's cold and the cold is coming

Super friendly staff. Lots of indoor & outdoor seating and so many yummy choices to choose from, both sweet and savory. Start with a sandwich or maybe one of their famous salads or soups . but definitely end with a pastry ! Cookies, brownies, mini-cookies, croissants, breads and the list goes on ! This is a definite must if you just want to relax & enjoy a meal ! Highly recommended!1

We went for lunch and it was delicious. The bread on my sandwich was toasted but still soft and my tomato soup was the best tomato soup I’ve ever had!! My meal in the picture was just $6!! My father in law got a salad and it was giant! The kids had a flat bread pizza and loved it! I highly recommend!
