Good Panera restaurant. The menu is good and the food tastes good for the price = good value. This particular location is very busy which is a negative because it can be difficult to find an open table, and not just during the normal lunch & dinner times. There are a lot of people who are working and/or studying at this location and occupy the tables for hours. The restaurant is rectangular and only has windows by the front entrance, so natural light is only found at the front of the store and can be kind of dark & gloomy if sitting in the middle or back of restaurant. The food and price is similar to any other Panera restaurant, so for a quick meal this is a safe place to go, but recommend that you order online or have the food to go.

I dont get the appeal of the place. I find it very expensive at almost $5 for a cup of soup. And I cant remember how much the sandwich was but it very small it had grapes in it and it said almond something sandwich and nothing about grapes and had water in the lettuce so was soggy. Even the drink I got was disgusting. Maybe its me Im a little more Plain Jane okay but who pays $5 for a cup of soup? I dont know I just dont get why this place is liked so much. And the bread they gave me for my side w/soup was hard and didnt taste any better then what I buy at grocery store I could buy 3 better meals for the price that was paid there. Yeah I didnt like it so much.

The service has improved. It is usually crowded during lunch. Ordering is faster, but there are too many people taking a four-person table for their coffee and laptop. They now offer a type of self-service lunch counter and bagged lunch order takeout. The food is the same as the other locations. I find the soups tasty, but the sandwiches often have too much sauce/mayonnaise and the lettuce and tomatoes are very soft, as if they spent a day in the fridge as opposed to freshly sliced. If the sandwiches ingredients were fresh, it would easily become my favorite lunch spot. If you have an allergy, they will look up the ingredients to a menu item.

Today I went in on my lunch break and have never bin more disappointed! If I had time to go back and complain I would. I ordered a whole Frontega and bowl of chicken noodle.,it wasnt even busy but I still had to wait to receive a burnt Frontega with no basil and which in my opinion makes the Sandwich and the bottom of a burnt chicken noodle with no noodles or chicken just broth.barely filled. Wont be going back to this Location . Although Kristen at the front did a good job but thats it never again what a waste of 15$!

Food was great! Lunch time the dine-in space was a little packed but didnt wait long to get a seat and I really enjoyed the meal. After I went back to my office, I realized that I forgot my scarf on the seat. It was a designer brand and I would hate to loose it. Called the supervisor Andrew (sorry forgot his last name), and he was super patient and helpful. He found it right away and saved it for me to come back and pick up. One more reason to love Panera! Thank you very much Andrew!!!

Love the food. Always good! One bad thing though--- I went to go in tonight at around 7:45pm. I assume a manager, that was at the door, turned me away. I have never heard of an establishment closing doors that significantly early on a normal business day for a staff meeting. Especially because theyre a chain. They have a specific, consistent way of operating. I was really put off by this. Theyre supposed to close at 10. Its a shame bc I was looking forward to my salad! LOL

This place is a love & hate relationship. Im giving it 4 stars due to their service and they always try to make it right. However when it comes to ordering by app sometimes they get it right. Sometimes its just way off. Might be a glitch but its rather a nuisance. My major complaint is their bake goods. If you ever stop by for late dinner and order their brownies they tend to be over baked or really dry. I suggest staying away from them even for the $1 offer with meal.

I LOVE Panera Bread. I have the app and everything. But this location isnt that great. Its always super crowded, which is great for business for them but uncomfortable otherwise. Theres barely any service inside and at 7pm, the free wifi was overloaded w/ users. I got a latte from there which was TOO hot and burned my tongue and then I had to dump 9 packets of sugar into it bc it was bitter. Ive gone in twice, probably wont do it to myself again.

Close to home panera with decent parking and fantastic service. I recently went on weight watchers and their systems provide for a great and hearty 10 point meal, but all that is mostly due to franchising, know what to expect, but what makes this place exceptional and great? The location is great and not to crowded, and thier new "plastic buzzer coaster thing" makes the whole order pickup thing so much easier. Great lunch spot!

Panera is Panera, but this location messes up rapid pick up orders a lot, and if theyre out of something you ordered they just substitute whatever they think the substitute should be instead of asking. Ended up getting two items that are not what I would have picked had I been asked to choose something else and didnt realize until after I had left.

Food is the best thing I ever tasted!! The staff are super nice to you and help you choose if you cant. Ever since 2011 I have been going there! You can work there because the hours they isnt many people you can focus. There wifi works well and cant wait till I go again!!

This is the first time I have been back since they messed up my last order. Needless to say, they messed up this order too. Greek salad with chicken, broccoli cheddar soup and they forgot the chicken in my salad. They need to pay attention to detail.

It can be very hit-or-miss. Sometimes the value is very poor for the money, such as the $6 cup of soup or the vegetable sandwich which is nothing more than some sliced vegetables on dry bread. The souffles, on the other hand, are delicious.

Their mac and cheese is definitely improved over the years, and their sandwiches are grille very well. A little on the pricier side, like how my meal came out to $22 dollars, but it was pretty good food nonetheless.

Totally unrelated to the establishment, but this is where I met up with someone on Craigslist to buy one of my most prized possessions - a beautiful Stratocaster Replica for Rock Band. (Haha, yeah, Im a nerd.)

I love Paneras food. They advertise Android pay as an option to pay, but I had an issue that wouldnt allow me to use it. I have used it at other stores and it works perfectly. Please fix!!
