Delicious bread bowl. I placed my order online, online said they were out of the Mexican street corn chowder so I selected broccoli cheddar. However, when I got to the restaurant I asked and thankfully they still had some Mexican street corn chowder so I was able to swap. Great customer service! Definitely recommend.

Bought a half dozen bagels today and the lady brought me my bag, and said oh are bagels came out smaller than they should be so we are giving your a dozen. I thought cool, and said thank you. Come to find out the bagels were not just smaller they weren’t cooked. Gummy on the inside. Do better Panera before you start losing business.

So, I've been here a few times now. Out of those times, my order has either been incorrect, had something missing or undercooked. Today I ordered a tuna duet and ended up getting an undercooked grilled cheese and 1/4 cup of tomato soup without the topping that should come with the soup. There seems to be some communication issues when ordering through the drive thru and food prep is below expectations.

Good is served fast. Pretty good. I don't love their bread but I don't like hard crust. The soup is good though in the bread bowl.

The food is fantastic.But the portions are light. They offer a variety of drinks, but none of them are Cokeacola and a barely steight up tea, lots of foofoo if that's your drink.
