Panera Bread

12-23-25 exceptional experience. Everything was as I specified and staff was busy doing a good job during my visit. Thanks y'all God bless

Fantastic place to stop for lunch right outside Chicago and right off 65. Love the Mediterranean grain salad - so delicious! Lovely outdoor patio.

Placed order online went in and asked about the order was told they did not have it the manager who was a little rude had to push it through. I had also ordered a pastry to try and they did not have any. I asked for a credit to try them next time and another manager in back just said to refund me and was rude about that as well. The managers need to take customer service lessons for sure. All this for a soup.

We didn’t actually eat here, but I had to leave a review for the service I received. We were driving when my son got a horrible bloody nose. Unfortunately, we had just gotten a rental car and had absolutely nothing to use in the car. Panera was the first place I saw, so him and I ran up to the door. I was going to run in and grab napkins so he didn’t drip across the floor but the (I’m guessing manager) saw us and had already grabbed paper towels and met us. She allowed me to use the restroom to get him cleaned up, offered us more paper towels for the road, and a drink to help with any bad taste it may have left in his mouth. She went way above and beyond! I can’t recommend them enough purely off this experience. Thank you again ❤️

The food was good, and I loved the outdoor seating option. However, it was $14 for a half sandwich 🥪 and salad 🥗.
