The Auntie behind the counter was very kind and gave me a taste of the harissa paste.

We love that the food is healthy and fresh and everything tastes delicious! They have black lentils! We opted to eat there, and because I couldn't finish my gargantuan bowl, I needed to go back in and ask for to go bowl. Also I wanted to get two more of those brownies-dang those things are unreal! It was so busy then! You must be very polite to the Aunties behind the counter especially when they're busy because they will snap at you if you don't wait your turn and don't say please and thank you.

Extremely disappointing experience at Panera Bread Harbison Blvd…read moreI'm writing about an extremely disappointing experience I had at this Panera location. During a previous visit, I ordered a Turkey Bravo sandwich and a frozen strawberry lemonade. I specifically told the cashier that was all I wanted. When I received my receipt, the total was $26.02. I noticed I had been charged $6.99 for chowder, which I never ordered. When I questioned the cashier, she asked me, "You didn't want the chowder?" even though I had already explained that I only wanted the sandwich and lemonade. I was on my work break and had to leave, so I was told I could return later for a refund because the manager was unavailable. I was not told that my name needed to be taken down, and nobody asked for my information. On September 12, 2026, at approximately 3:43 PM, I returned to this location. I was actually there to purchase food, not simply to complain. I ordered chicken noodle soup and a strawberry banana smoothie for approximately $14. While at the drive-through window, I remembered the previous $6.99 charge and asked about receiving a refund, Panera points, a gift card, or another reasonable resolution. The cashier got the manager. I explained what happened, but the manager said he could not take "random receipts," even though the receipt was from the same location and the date and card used matched. Instead of addressing the refund, he asked if I wanted something else from the menu. I explained that I did not want additional food and was simply asking for a refund or another form of compensation for something I was incorrectly charged for. While I was still speaking, the manager closed the drive-through window in my face. I had already paid for my food and was still waiting for my order. After waiting and not receiving it, I went inside and asked for either my food or a refund. I was ignored for approximately five minutes. While I was on the phone with a family member explaining what was happening, the manager eventually brought my food to the counter and said, "Here's your fucking food. I'm not giving you a damn refund." He used profanity toward me in front of other customers. Around the same time, another customer was also complaining about receiving an incorrect order. Because of how I was treated, I no longer wanted the food and requested a refund. My father eventually had to come inside to help me. The manager continued speaking rudely, repeatedly interrupted both of us even when the conversation wasn't involving him and also spoke disrespectfully toward my sibling. My father eventually yelled, "Shut the hell up, everyone." The manager refused to refund the food I had purchased that day and told me I would have to contact corporate for the refund. My father ultimately had to handle getting the refund because the manager refused to assist me. What started as a $6.99 incorrect charge became a much larger issue involving poor customer service, refusal to address my concerns, profanity from a manager, being ignored after I had already paid, and disrespect toward me and my family. Police were also called after the situation.

First Watch

9 ROMEO members ventured out to First Watch today, and for many of us it was our first visit. We…read morequickly discovered that First Watch doesn't believe in a shortage of choices. The extensive menu made deciding what to eat almost as difficult as deciding where to go for lunch! Our group sampled quite a variety of the menu, including three Bacon Maple Croissant sandwiches, three tacos, a Pecan Chicken Salad, two different orders of pancakes, and a bowl featuring barbacoa beef, chips and eggs. Our waitress, Meleva, did a great job handling our party of nine. She managed to put together a table for us and squeeze us in so we could get started. Fortunately, the table next to us emptied about 20 minutes later, so our temporary seating arrangement worked out just fine. There was one order that got messed up, but that one really can't be blamed on the waitress. There was a little miscommunication while we were trying to figure out what I wanted. She moved on to someone else, and when she came back around, I had completely changed my mind and ordered something entirely different! So, in this case, we'll give the waitress a pass. The Food Overall, the food was good, with ratings ranging from a 7.0 to a 9.5 on the ROMEO scale. The Pecan Chicken Salad received particularly high marks. The average ROMEO rating was 8.05, which translates to approximately 4 stars on the Yelp scale. Personally, I wasn't especially impressed with my Bacon Maple Egg sandwich. The egg itself was very good--fluffy and covered with cheese. The bacon was good, there were some nice hot jalapeños, and the croissant was decent. Then came the maple syrup. I like maple syrup as much as the next guy, but putting it on a croissant sandwich just didn't work for me. In my humble opinion, maple syrup belongs on waffles or pancakes--not in a breakfast sandwich! The maple flavor just seemed to take the sandwich downhill. ROMEO Verdict Food: 8.05 / 10 Service: Very Good Menu Selection: Extensive! ROMEO Rating Range: 7.0 - 9.5 Yelp Equivalent: 4 Stars

I had the Rustic Frittata which was even better than I expected it to be. The greens with it were just okay. Others in my party had the biscuits and gravy dish (which filled him up quicker that expected!) and another had the Trifecta with bacon and waffle, and a delicious Iced Mocha. That last dish, and accompanied warm maple syrup, prompted me to get a blueberry pancake, as I did initially want something sweet. Overall, I'm glad we came here over other options.
