Gross. We should've walked out as soon as we walked in. The stench!! I assumed it was a clogged drain but the whole place reeked. The food was embarrassing with the prices they charge. Bacon on a sandwich was bacon bits, basil was just a few shakes of dried basil, grisly chicken, I could go on and on. There are SO many restaurants in this area, I don't know how they're still in business. I think it will be closed soon, and rightfully so. Oh and the tables and bathroom were filthy. If we hadn't paid $35 for two sandwiches we would've left.
Completely negative experience, we came on a rainy day and we saw a lot of students from HBHS were coming in they got kicked out of the restaurant in front of patrons. They were not being loud, disrespectful or disrupting anyone. They were asked to leave because they were not yet ordered anything, the female student informed the employee they were about to order food and the employee told her they can only get to go orders. I find it so offensive and I asked why so they explained to me that a few YEARS ago some students vandalized the place, so this was years ago and not the same kids today still they are being punished for something they didn’t do. Now as an adult when I asked for my own food I informed who I believe is the manager they were out of ice tea and he replied with an attitude
Overpriced. $36 for 2 children to eat. I passed on food. Why starve mothers, Panera? Zero service. You have to order yourself. There’s almost nothing going on in the kitchen. People are here, though. It must be for the free WiFi. Chick-fil-A is a better value.
Decent salad, the soup was good, the service was kind of…mean for some reason. For $20 this meal needs to be great, it’s not.
I’m honestly disgusted by the smell of this restaurant. The overwhelming stench that hits you the moment you walk in is absolutely unacceptable. It smells like a dirty sewer or pipe that oozes bad smells. It’s not just unpleasant, it’s horrendous and deeply concerning. What’s even more disturbing is that the employees are expected to work in this environment. No one should have to endure these conditions just to earn a living. This isn't just about bad business, it’s about basic human decency. If the owners are aware of this issue (which they must be), and continue to let it slide, they should absolutely be held accountable. Whether it's a lack of proper ventilation, poor waste management, or just outright negligence, this place is a health hazard to the workers. The food is good and th
