Panera Bread

Food was average — not terrible, but the amount of meat on the sandwich was minimal for something marketed as a meat‑based option. The bigger issue was the dining room. The front door, floors and tables were dirty, and there was a person yelling in the corner (not a customer), while staff didn’t seem interested in addressing it. Overall, the environment didn’t feel managed, and it took away from the experience.

I really liked how you can order on the machine. The food that was eaten was a pick two soup and sandwich. They made the order correctly with the right ingredients and preferences indicated. I assume it is fresh. Also I had a toasted bagel with plain cream cheese. It was delicious. Food came at an average speed. The food is very expensive at Panera and I personally don’t think it’s worth it.

I did their drive-thru order today and got the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup in a bread bowl w/chips (you have an option of baguette, chips or apple slices). For beverage, I love their Passion Papaya Iced Green Tea so got that in a large. Recommend! The soup was delicious as well! It was still warm to eat when I got home. I have a little cold too so soup was perfect and especially because of the crazy random cold weather we got today here in MN. I love going to Panera Bread when I want something simple to-go or warm meal to enjoy.

I was excited to eat my yummy Green Goddess cob salad but was very disappointed to find rotten salad mix in my salad (more than a few leaves). They were also very cheap with the dressing it was only about 2 teaspoons. I was very disappointed since I have Panera 2-3 times per week.

Just got my Turkey Bravo and found cartilage in my supposed smoked pulled chicken (See pictures). Please check your food before pick up.
