Panera Bread is pretty solid overall. The food is good and usually tastes fresh, but the service can be a bit slow depending on the time of day. If you go during busy hours, expect a longer wait for your order.
The portion sizes can feel a little small, so how filling it is really depends on what you choose. Some items are more satisfying than others, but the quality is consistent.
Overall, it’s a good spot for a quick meal or a light lunch, just keep in mind the portion sizes and possible wait time. If you go during off-peak hours, you’ll probably have a smoother experience.
So bad…everyone is behind counters preparing and serving food, but don’t try to get to the soda-it’s a sticky filthy mess. The garbage is full to the rim with trays stacked up next to it…no one is concerned about the sticky nasty floor or the mess at the garbage. Even staff walk through the sticky mess to get what they want and keep going. I forgot to mention the dirty tables. Thank goodness I was traveling with wipes to clean up. All I can say is…SHAMEFUL!!!!!
