Super crazy busy & large location, this Panera has 4 people taking orders and money, and even more in the kitchen. I don't quite understand the option of a side of extra bread with a sandwich lol so I opted for chips, they are included in the price which was cool. Service was fast, hardly had time to get a fountain drink and my tuna sammich was ready for pickup. Came with a pickle too but a little skimpy on the tuna salad, grr. Vegetarian rating: 3+ stars, my veggie driver brought us here specifically for the veg options which included soups and mozzarella/tomato sandwich. Not too hard to get a table but don't bring a big group at noon! From the lunch crowds here you'd think nobody else serves food near APG, but the staff seems to handle it well, except for occasionally wiping off tables, that would be nice. read more

Terrible breakfast ...after a 3 hour drive from Stafford...stopped for a pit stop and breakfast. Usually, I hold Panera Bread in high esteem...but I could have had a better breakfast at a truck stop. The coffee was stale and old ..and the soufle was a day old and heated up in a microwave ..gummy and lukewarm....mmm .mm...just how I like it. I felt my $9.00 breakfast didn't live up to the standards other Panera Bread stores maintain. No would have mentioned something to the manager...but he/she was nowhere to be found...and complaining to a teenag worker bee early in the morning...well we all know how that conversation would have gone. I think I will get my morning repast elsewhere from now on while visiting Aberdeen Proving Grounds. read more

Wile catching the excitement of Aberdeen I had to spend a morning in Panera Bread. I saw Its trying to get away from that Maryland personality but defeats itself, the other complaint I have is the outlets are worn out for the other Aberdeen Tourists before me. read more

This is a very poorly run Panera. Literally the manager is yelling across the store at employees, then yelling at customers. They made my order wrong, I didn't say anything cause it wasn't a big deal. But then I could over hear the manager say to the employee that they shouldn't tell me. They were more concerned that their "regular" received my order. read more

The cashier was unfriendly. It was not even crowded but It took awhile to get my food. The roasted turkey avocado blt was not good. I want the Sierra turkey back on the menu. read more

Adequate for a Panera bread. After reading the reviews I was a little worried. I've seen cleaner restaurants but I've also seen worse. The town itself seems like a dump so I'm not quite sure what some of the other reviews were expecting. I got the Greek salad and tomato sandwich combo and also a cup of tomato soup. The bread was a bit chewy but that's my only complaint. The sandwich had a lot of arugula which was nice, and the salad had a good amount of topping and dressing. Soup seemed a bit old. But it's also June. If you need a vegetarian meal in the area this is a safe bet. read more

I visit Panera all the time. In Maryland it's my favorite place to go. Although, here in Dover they are very pleasant; I constantly have to go back inside because they forget to give me something. I ask for 2 extra dressings and today they gave me one full one and one with almost nothing inside of the cup so I guess they kinda got it right but still..... come on. I don't want to have to come back inside to ask for something that you were supposed to give me every time I come through the drive through. It's just a dressing. Like it's small but it matters to me. Other than that they are great food always good. But dang it I want my extra dressing. read more

I would give zero stars if I could, I waited 45 minutes on a curbside order and when I went in to ask about it I was treated very poorly and with disrespect. Management was very lousy and lazy and made me make my own drinks since I was "complaining" about my wait time. I won't eat here EVER again. read more

Had a great breakfast sandwich there. Staff was fast - nice place to sit and enjoy a quick breakfast. read more

Imagine looking up at the night time sky. And it was completely dark. No stars can be seen in any direction. Black. But alas, you turn around and notice one star. Glimmering brightly. If the sky represents Aberdeen, then that one star must be Panera bread because there isn't much of anything else worth going here for. The Panera itself is uneventful. Exactly what you would want and expect. Prices I think are a little more than typical fast food, but the wait is quick and the quality is a step higher. The staff is always nice. And there is free internet if that's your thing. read more

One day, a few months back, I went to this Panera location for my favorite - creamy chicken and wild rice soup. The cashier was rather friendly. I paid for my soup and waited at the counter. Unfortunately, though, they had run out of that particular soup that day, and the cashier didn't know it. She felt really bad, offering me another type of soup. I thanked her, and said it was ok but that I'd just take a refund instead. I wasn't mad or anything. She kept apologizing, and I told her it was ok, no big deal, mistakes happen. As I was about to walk out, she actually offered me a free brownie. I thought it was really sweet of her. It's that kind of customer service that will keep people coming back! read more

Not good service people didn't want to be at work on the we were there Sunday couldn't get breakfast at 1130

Today I tried something new, The Smokehouse Turkey®. Which is described as: Smoked turkey breast, smoked bacon, smoked cheddar & sun-dried tomato ale mustard grilled hot on our Artisan Three Cheese bread. I normally always have the Chicken Noodle in a bread bowl, but I needed to change things up. I enjoyed the sandwich but I really don't like mustard so the flavor of the Sun-dried tomato ale mustard threw me a little. Not that it was super strong, but I could taste that mustard "tang" on the back end. Otherwise this sandwich was quite good. A good helping of meat, excellent bacon and the bread was very good. read more

I love to eat here in a pinch. Health options when you are runny on a time restricted schedule

If you are eating here between the hours of eight and nine, beware the mad sweeper. She will come and sweep the floor around your table until you leave. Otherwise the food was really great, and luckily they don't charge for the extra dust from the floor. read more

As a frequent go'er to this establishment I owe it to them for being very consistent and quick. However, the place deserves a 3.5 as the food itself is mediocre, but definitely not the worst I have had in the area of Aberdeen. I feel that there are times that things could be better, and with the newer establishments popping up in Aberdeen, we will just have to see if this place will still remain as a top choice for lunch. read more

Thanks to http://www.veganeatingout.com/panera-bread-menu/ I have discovered my favorite menu item: Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich (without Feta Cheese) and a Classic Cafe Salad with pepperchinis. The Tomato Basil Bread has honey on it, but you could choose a different one if that bothers you. Also, I add one of those ketchup-sized Tabasco sauces to it. I want to try their Black Bean Soup soup, but I don't want to learn that it is made by either adding hot water or by defrosting a plastic bag. There is still a lunch time rush, which is unlikely to change. The staff is friendly, so it's not an unpleasant wait. Since they are busy, it is especially important to check that your order is correct before you leave! The seating is very comfortable, kindof like putting a bunch of tables and chairs in your living room and inviting strangers over to eat and drop food on the floor. I haven't been to any other Panera Bread, so I can't compare this place to another. Even if it is one of the better places to eat in the area, it's not five stars. read more

Very nice location- generally no wait time - image that - the food across the board seems to be the same at every location which is great - I do wish I could have whatever soup I want vs waiting for chicken n rice day read more

Poor service and the staff doesn't know the basics they couldn't even toast a bagel properly. The bagel tasted old and was dry. Very disappointed and I left a tip before I got my food. Pass this place by and pick something else read more

I just wanted a soup, sandwich & my son wanted a pastry... There was a customer leaning over the pastry stand literally touching the all cookies on the top row and then He Coughed Twice!!! (WTH) we looked at the employee & she said nothing (giggled) my wife asked her to say something "at least make him step back & take ur arms & face from over the glsss... The employee walked over and said "that couple over there wants you to get from over the counter. I guess people over there are used to people hacking Ebola and touching their cookies... I'll pass.......... read more

I come here all the time and I've never had an issue. If you have never been to Panera and are into eating healthy and don't mind spending a pretty penny then I would suggest Panera bread. read more

"Food as it should be" is the motto of this business. I guess that means BBQ chicken mac and cheese served cold. When my son took it back to the counter the man pointed to the microwave by the front door and told him to go warm it up. Seriously? You serve undercooked food and it is the responsibility of the customer to make sure it is edible?? Management's response was significantly delayed (after she initially tried to defend the cook's actions) and completely unsatisfactory. There is no excuse for undercooked food and asking the customer to fix it is completely unacceptable. read more

The food here is predictably good, since they are part of a nationwide chain. It gets crazy busy around 11:30 am during the week and really hard to secure a table. There is one particular employee here who is a little brash and can be rude. I assume he's either an assistant manager or part of management. They keep the restaurant pretty clean and organized and the staff are willing to help with any food requests you may have. read more

Food is, of course, comparable to any other Panera Bread you may have been to. So it's good and made fresh. I gave this location 3 stars, however, because it's always just a little more hectic and chaotic than other locations I've been to. Sometimes the line stretches to the door. All the employees I've dealt with there are nice, just maybe need a few more of them. read more

I love the bagels, but seriously, how do you not cut a bagel right? read more

Panera Bread - I got bagels to go. I foolishly did not check them before I left! This is how they were cut and only had a small amount of cream cheese! - Sandwiches Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I am SO frustrated with this specific Panera store. I like to customize my orders to maximize the value of the food I order. That being said, especially when ordering via the mobile app (where everything is literally written out) and customizing, how is it that this store consistently messes up my order?!?! EVERY TIME!!! One of the few times my husband or I called (instead of dealing with things going wrong, which is our usual course of action...) the manager's reply to the various things that were wrong with the order was "Sorry sir. The kids try their best. Maybe you should reconsider your future orders and not make them so complicated." --Or maybe you could teach them to read and follow directions or train them better? I know it's not rocket science, but: it's not rocket science! FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!! Get your managers' acts together and conduct some proper training. read more

Stopped by with the kid on our way to NC and everything was excellent, clean, nice restrooms and great food and beverages, win.

They took my money; but they forgot my order. Poor management - poor service. Totally not in the mood; got my order refunded. This also happened to a Soldier (while I waited to not be served). Lunch hour wasted; won't happen again; won't be back. read more

Every time I order from Panera lately they get something wrong, but today is the worst experience yet. I will NOT use this one in the future. I was having food delivered and they were out of something--after I ordered it--it still shows available on their online menu, and instead of contacting me directly they had the Door Dash driver do it. Door Dash is outstanding, but a Panera never should have put them in this position and should have contacted me themselves. Horrible service. read more

Food at Panera Bread is predictably good, which is great because there's not much better in the area when you're just wanting something quick without subjecting yourself to the likes of McD's or Taco Bell. Friendly staff, clean environment, good atmosphere. What is there not to like? I'll tell you: the soda fountain area is simply too small, causing no end of bumping and waiting as people fix their tea just so. If you happen to hit the lunch rush hour, the drink line experience is a lesson in patience. As there no room for proper queuing, a mob forms as people with food try to wade through the mass of humanity standing there with empty cup in hand. Good thing there are usually police eating there too, as I am tempted to hurt those inconsiderate apes who stand there sipping their tea as they squeeze the lemon once (sip), no... Two times (sip)... Then add sugar (sip)... Then add a little more sugar (sip) "Ooh... Too much!" Then dump a little out and add unsweetened tea to fill it back up (sip)... Then fumble for the lid and a straw... Then look at you and smile weakly with expectation that you'll move for them as they wade through the "line" they've created. All that so the next inconsiderate ape can do the same. read more

I love it all plus they are now on door dash! Huge bonus. Their tomato soup is always perfect and I've never had a sandwich that I didn't love! read more

Had the turkey apple and cheddar sandwich. It was pretty bad. Something was way chewier than the rest of the sandwich. Maybe grissle? Had to spit out a few bites. My daughter got a few spoon fulls of Mac and cheese with a peice of bread for 5 dollars and she was still hungry after finishing. read more

"Panera Bread" is the kind of thank god for Chicken Noodle Soup lifesaver that I can depend on, so I'm always glad there's one in every other shopping center. Not great, but hearty enough to hold me over for a couple of hours. #pithy read more

A typical Panera, to be sure. The one thing that I love is that by the time I walk from the register over to the pick-up counter, my food is usually ready! Besides their speedy service, it's a nice location, the seating is well designed (has a quiet corner if you want to get away from any kids inside), and the prices are average (a bit pricey, but hey, it's Panera! The food rocks!). The only down side of it is that I can spent hours in there, chatting with friends and refilling my drink. Is that a down side? Well, it is if you have chores to do! read more

Tastes like every other panera. Good service and plenty of seats. Good for a small group of people or to grab a quick lunch.

Good ol' Panera bread. My go to place for breakfast. When I want to be healthy I get the power breakfast sandwich and when I don't care, I get the bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. :) read more

I like Panera's menu in general, but on my last visit I decided to try their Pick 2 pairing of French onion soup and the turkey kale panini. Sadly, neither item was well executed. The croutons in the soup were soggy from bite one, as if they'd been simmering in the soup before it was served. The panini bread was soggy and floppy as well. There were two bites of turkey. The kale was bitter, not caramelized. On the whole, truly disappointing. Not what I expect from Panera. read more

I really have a hard time rating this Panera. Sometimes I have been there, like last week, the food and the service has been fine. Other times, the service was so bad, that I've had to write the company. (Once, when they put the bagels through the slicer, it didn't even slice most of them. The two it did, it only took the tops off.) I guess the best I can say is that they are inconsistent. read more

Half hour wait after ordering lunch is really not acceptable, could have visited a sit down restaurant and had less of a wait. Need to figure that out. Used to St. Louis Bread Co (Panera) with a 5 minute wait max. No kiosk to order from. read more

Food here is good, service is ok. I just find it a bit pricey and they are always talking about "real food". Check the fat/calories. I don't eat here on a regular basis because of it. read more
