  I went to Panera for lunch. I had the u pick two : 1/2 soup 1/2 salad . I chose the  signature Thai chopped chicken salad. It had romaine lettuce, cashews, fire roasted  edamame, red peppers, carrots , fresh cilantro, & wanton strips tossed in a spicy Thai chili vinaigrette and drizzled w/ peanut sauce. If u like a spicy dressing then u will love this! It's sweet and spicy. but not too hot. It came with a baguette and because I did the 1/2 1/2 I also got the broccoli cheddar soup it had real pieces of broccoli in it yum ! My daughter had the full portion of mac n cheese. It was made with  Vermont  white cheddar sauce over shells.It was very creamy and delicious.and she also chose a baguette. If u don't want a baguette , u have a choice of natural chips or an apple.  My advise is the lines get very long at Panera. Before u go look up the menu so u have an idea of what u want and what kind of bread  u want it on so u don't hold up the line if its at lunchtime. There are so many variations! This is a place I have never yelped but have been to many many times and will keep coming back!

No bread crumbs !! No pickle !!! And the  the manager was rude !!! The bean soup we got was cold !! Waste of a night out with frnds as well as. $100 !!! Should shut down the franchise at once ... Lots of more censored words for the staff !!!  .... IN Short pathetic

  It seems like the food quality at Panera Bread has gone down. I used to work at Panera Bread (at one of their very first restaurants) and they used to be BIG on quality, service and freshness. Welp, not anymore.
  The prices have increased but the quality has gone down. I ordered the "You Pick Two" special. Half tuna fish on honey wheat with Asian sesame chicken salad with extra dressing.
  First, the cashier was on her cell phone texting. I started off my order by telling her that my food was "to go" and after she took my order she asked me, "Is it for here or to go." I seriously hate repeating myself but I did in this case.
  Second, I picked up my food and I decided to "eat in" instead. Luckily I did. They didn't give me any napkins and the bread they gave me (I guess it was for the salad) appeared to have been wrestled away from a rat. There was a big chunk missing. How dare they serve another human being something like this?
  I just pushed the bread aside and decided to let it go and eat my lunch. The sandwich looked sloppy and the portion I was given didn't look like it could fill a toddler. Oh and lo and behold...they didn't give me my extra dressing. And unfortunately I was not surprised. I had to get up a second time to get extra dressing.
  Panera Bread needs to go back to their original core values..quality, service and freshness.

  I tend to be a procrastinator. Paired with my friend, Jessica, we can annoy pretty much all store owners...
  
  I know you close in two minutes...BUT....
  
  Panera was no exception. I had never been but Jess had and was raving about the iced chai and creamy broccoli soup.
  
  How could i say no? Energy paired with cheesy stuff thatll make me poop green...sign me up!
  
  We flew in and said our normal line...and surprisingly enough the kind gentleman behind the counter didnt grunt, and the floor didnt open up in some sort of hellish bad movie to suck us in and make us pay for our sins.
  
  As he took our chai order jessica asked for a sample of the soup. Not gunna lie- I was a bit embarrassed because i already felt so bad making him serve us anything at 8:58 when they close at 9:00pm.
  
  Quickly i learned why he didnt really mind...we had our chai within a single moment, and it took me longer to blow furiously on my soup and cool it to eat then it did for jessica to pay and have us walking out the door.
  
  The location was perfect, the service was great, the food was amazing! The very decent sized sample of that soup has had me back twice now. The restaurant was so clean and set up was fantastic.
  
  Def finitely happy i tested my luck with the devil on this one.
