Panera Bread

The Gold Standard for Lunch – Amazing Service & The Perfect Asiago Sandwich! I honestly cannot say enough good things about this Panera location on Dirksen! I stopped in for a bite to eat and was completely blown away by the entire experience, from start to finish. First off, the food was incredible. I had the Asiago sandwich, and it was fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. You can really tell the difference when the kitchen cares about what they are sending out. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time—hot, cheesy, and exactly what I was craving. But what really sets this location apart is the atmosphere and the team. The customer service here is top-tier! The employees were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making me feel like a valued guest rathe

I had a great experience at the Panera Bread on Dirksen! The restaurant was clean, the food was fresh, and the service was excellent. Eric, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He’s friendly, attentive, and truly cares about the customers. Outstanding service all around and I would highly recommend this location!

My mom and I went through the drive thru. Person taking our order didn’t seem happy with us and hand a bad attitude. Tyler who was our cashier did a wonderful job at the window, and when we questioned why something on our order wasn’t on the reciept the girl who took our order with pink hair yelled and screamed at us through the window. Everything else was great besides her…

I was disappointed in the service since I asked for a sesame bagel but they gave me an everything bagel. When I asked them why they didn’t give me a sesame bagel, they said they were out. They should have told me when I was ordering so I could’ve chosen my own bagel since I didn’t want an everything bagel. Otherwise, the food was average for a Panera. Nothing special.

I got my food delivered today from Dirksen and for the fourth time, you forgot to put chicken in my apple fuji chicken salad...FOUR TIMES. Seriously?? Weird thing is that the west side Panera has done the same thing. Very dissapointing.
