This order is for today Tuesday August 16, 2022 Typically I have photos with my meals, but due to being semi annoyed with this order, I was not in the mood to take photos, sorry. Giving a rating for this location is just a hit or miss. I signed up last week with their website to order a meal, last time my order and delivery was awesome no issues, all items there. Today not sure who was having a bad day, but who ever does not know how to quality check meals if prepped properly and if there, better get on the ball due to an issue I did not notice after my first call, because they were closing, I mainly called about missing item, it was brought to my attention afterwards of the possible problem that would been a trip to ER for one of us. I will explain below. Items Ordred: I will posted all items as listed on the receipt: 1 order of: Srawberry Chrged Lemonade 1/2 gal 1 Order of: Custom Chicken Fuji Apple Salad(for my lady) Salad was edited, some items that come with and then some taken off: + Spinach, + Pickled Red Onion, No Gorganzola Cheese, No Red Onions, No pecans, + Xtra Apple Chips, + Crispy Carrots, + Xtr Fuji Apple Drs. 1 Order of: Custom Chicken Fuji Apple Salad(for myself) Salad was edited, some items that come with and then some taken off: + Arugula, +Spinach, + Xtr Chicken, + Olives, No gorganzola Cheese, No Red Onions, No Pecans, + Xtr Apple Chips, + Crispy Carrots, + Hard boiled Egg, + Pineapple, + Xtr Apple Chips Drs. 1 Order of: Custom Tuna Salad Sandwich (half for my lady and half for myself for today) Everything that usually goes on the sandwich, but with edits: + tomato Basil Miche, + Spinach, No Salt & Pepper, No Red Onion. + Sliced bacon, + Pickled Red Onion, + Peppadew Peppers. 1 Order of: Custom Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich: (for myself for my lunch or dinner tomorrow) So majority some the items it comes with and then took off some others: No Salt & Pepper, + Xtr Turkey, No Gouda Cheese, + Pickled Red Onion, + Peppadew Peppers 1 Order of: Custom Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich:(for my lady) So majority some the items it comes with and then took off some others: No Gouda Cheese, + white Cheddar Cheese, + Xtr Sliced Bacon. 1 Order of: Bowl of chicken Noodle Soup(for my lady) 1 Order of each bakery item: (basically to share between my lady and I, during the week) Cranberry Orange Muffin Pumpkin Muffin Vanilla Cinn Roll Bear Claw So items missing: The the Bowl of chicken Noodle Soup The issue that could caused a trip o ER if we did not pay attention to our food: The apple Crisps, when Panera as a company or maybe the Anderson, IN location, as I am unsure how those apple crisps are prepared, but the apple seeds were all left in our apple crisps, whether dehydrated or not, no one is suppose to consume those seeds. Seriously are you guys trying to kill someone? I know honest mistakes happen, but when establishment is dealing with food, you need to seriously be careful. So the other issue was how the Rep took my call. I know the location closed at 9p, so I tried to call in before closing to inform them of the issues of a missing item, I did not know about the apple issue until after they closed. So I phoned in about 8:12p, a woman answered expressing I phoned into Panera, no name, I felt I had to work hard to try and get a name just to respectfully address the person. I guess companies don't like employees representing the company properly as no one says their name I guess. a simple my name is so and so, think you for phoning Panera, how may I help you would I guess be too much to ask for. Either way, The woman seemed to be in rush to close or maybe had one too many customers that caused an issue, just the tone of her voice, but either way, she said she would refund the soup that never came. also in the instructions where either my lady or I place a big order we like to distinguish our meals from another, so I put notes for what was her's and what was mine, sadly neither last order or this order, did anyone bother to check ingredients of the sandwich or even mark a name on the wrapper. Seriously it is simple, take your pen, or marker, take cap off, look at instructions, put name of person on wrapper or eve first letter if the people done have same first letter in first name. Or take a pen mark ingredients. Originally I would have given 5 stars I all was great, I subtracted 1 star due to missing item, subtracted the other star due to apple seeds. I should have given 2 stars, but trying to be nice and give 3 stars. I will say big difference from ordering and coming in, you seem to get the order correct when we come in, but can not get it right when delivery, If you need to just slow down, take your time, quality check and make sure everything is good to go with green light. We would come in every time as you are down the block, but I am medically unable to drive and my partner is usually on clock working. Come on Panera, you can do it! Just take your time..... read more

Service was quick and kind! My Mediterranean bowl (altered to be vegan) was extra warm and delicious. I can tell that a kind employee put extra effort into assembling it for me, it looks beautiful! I also got the green smoothie which is fabulous read more

Panera Bread - Mediterranean bowl, made with extra effort by a kind employee - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

I don't often come across a bad experience but I couldn't go without mentioning this Panera location. My grandmother loves Panera so I brought her for lunch. We were immediately greeted with muddy floors and had to watch where we stepped. Ordering food was fine and seemed normal but once it came out I was pretty disappointed. The salad ingredients were not fresh and appeared old a top my salad. My grandmother's salad was loaded with toppings but had old salad underneath. She went to fill her cup and there were sticky floors all surrounding the beverage dispenser so I had to step in and maneuver to it for her. The teas were much more sugary than usual. I did not get to take as many pics as I would've liked because I was trying to make sure my grandmother was in a good spot. read more

Panera Bread - Peppers on my salad were wilted and slimy seeds on the inside :( - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Quality of food has always been on point; however, the place could be cleaner. Food quality is why I'm giving 4 Stars. Fingerprints on glass surfaces make me cringe. My staff experience could be better, everyone always just seems so sad (or annoyed) to be there. They have forgotten to pack all ordered items, at times. I recommend double checking your bag, before you leave! Parking lot doesn't really accommodate for the amount of traffic this location sees. Order for curbside pick-up! read more

Nice clean restaurant with the typical Panera bread food staples. The staff is friendly and the food was well prepared. Best place in town for fresh bread and bagels. Free refillS on drinks for the win!!!! read more

Panera Bread - Chicken Caesar - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Great friendly employees, tasty food. Order available quickly at 1 pm lunch hour. Variety of selection is great and I love the pick 2

What a disappointment. I ordered a Pick 2 with 1/2 Asian Sesame salad from the store on Mercantile in Noblesville. The container wasn't even 1/2 full. I paid $7 for less than a handful of lettuce read more

Panera Bread - a bowl of salad and a cup of coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Absolutely love this Panera's. Every time I come they are friendly, smiling, the restaurant is clean, the restrooms are clean and the coffee is fresh. The only thing I miss today is the company of my best friends. This is a great place to meet for each and good conversation. Not too loud and all of the clientele are equally as nice as those who serve. Also one of the best things is, I can ask and I am shown exactly what the ingredients are for any menu item. I am always on the search for items that meet my father's plant-based food plan and that also do not contain oils, nut, eggs or dairy. Panera actually has several items that meet his criteria. read more

Panera Bread - Best place to stop for great coffee good entrées good soup! Bread is actually very good as well! - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Out of bread. Panera BREAD.... Got a very nasty substitution. Both the Cheddar Broccoli soup and the Turkey Chili were extremely watered down. I have never had an experience like this from them, it's downright a ripoff for the price. read more

As usual, the food quality was more than expected and the cashier was extremely friendly. However, I made the mistake of using the men's room and I could not believe the filth particularly the urinal and sink! It was as though it had never been cleaned and I can't believe the store manager allows that situation to continue. I will contact corporate and let them know that I will give Panera one more chance. If the men's room continues to demonstrate such filth I will NEVER again spend another penny at a Pandora or associate chain store. This store demonstrates a complete lack of care for its patrons! read more

Placed a large order for pick up. Order was ready and waiting on arrival. Staff was friendly and courteous never saw anyone waiting in line very long. Placed a separate order while there to go was inside maybe 10 minutes at longest. Good job Panera bread Anderson. read more

The food was great. It seems like every time I go to this Panera it is dirty. The floors have food crumbles on them. Its gross whenever you sit down your feet crunch on stuff underneath the table . read more

It is a Panera. What could be bad? The place was bright, clean, and staff was friendly. The food was up to what we have grown to expect from a Panera. I think this "chain" has it down and these places have become one of the go-to places when we are on the road. read more

This store has extremely horrible customer service, especially from the managers! I pay $10.99 a month for their "Sip Club" and have been since April. Tonight the manager decided that I'm not a member (even though it shows as a reward in my account!!) and insisted on charging me for my drink!! Rude, unprofessional staff and the store could definitely be cleaner! read more

Can you say overpriced - I was sticker shocked with my $40 plus bill with two kids on Sunday afternoon - I have never understood the tip at a place where we pickup the food, pour drinks and clean the table after an overpriced meal... sorry folks rather have Texas Roadhouse for same amount including tip! read more

Couldn't fulfill my mobile order even when the app allowed me to purchase and told me my order was ready. Wasted my time driving all the way to the store for no food. Would not recommend this location to anyone. read more

Absolutely terrible catering service from this location! Do NOT recommend! I'm a Panera fan in general. So I decided to use them to cater a lunch meeting. I'm not from Anderson so I placed the order on the phone before coming into town. Everything was set with free delivery because order was over $150 The morning of I called to add coffee to the order and they said it'd delay the food order. So I simply asked to treat the coffee as a separate order and pick up it up right before the noon meeting. I asked to still have the food delivered at 11:15am. The manager even told me she'd tell the driver to was on time. 11:15 came and went, 11:30 and still no delivery as promised so I called them. I had people showing up for my lunch meeting and no food! Ends up Panera decided to keep the food there until we came for the coffee and pawned it off on us to bring it instead. This made the food 15 minutes late to the meeting. We had to set up the food while everyone stood there waiting on us. I made us look unprepared when it was completely Panera's fault! I called them and talked to the manager who took the order. She basically blamed it on me and said she thought we were picking everything up which was a total lie. She knew exactly what happened and took zero responsibility. When I asked them to compensate me in some way because they made us look bad she only offered 10% off my next order. NO THANKS! You aren't getting my business again! read more

On the road driving over 800 miles to visit family we were excited to have this healthy option. My husband ordered a steak panini and when I handed it to him he said it smelled funky but took a bite. He gagged on it because the meat was so bad. He sent it back. My son got a Caesar salad and found a bug in it when he was almost finished. Fast forward 12 hours he is throwing up and having terrible diarrhea. Watch out this Panera will try and give you food poisoning! read more

Stopped in for bagels and coffee. Service was friendly and fast. Bagels and coffee were good. read more

Not all Panera Bread's are equal. The one in Anderson is a bit sub par. The main reason is high price for small portions. I love soup but the last time I ordered their clam chowder, it was microscopic clams and 2 or 3 of them at best. Soup is very runny, not thick. You would think crackers would be available for such runny soup. Great for bread dipping though, HA! No crackers but they do have bread. I do like the baked potato soup. Want better soup, get a full quart at Bob Evans for 5 bucks, mega thick and good choices. I do like their Sierra turkey sandwich and that gets a 5 star. The Asiago cheese bread is so good on it's own, to add other goodies to it is bonus central. the addition of chips is also a bonus. Half the time, only in Anderson, they forget my pickle wedge. There are a lot of potential good entrees here I've yet to try and I do like the atmosphere when they take care of cleanliness issues. The staff has always been pleasant and nice. read more

Hoping they will do something about the flies. They are eating more than & before the customers. No problem for the manager/s or employees tho.... read more

Food is always good, but I ask you.... Does this really look like a $15 meal? Check out the picture of my untouched meal. The salad was good. The Asian vinaigrette was perfect in taste and quantity. As for the soup, you might as well call it chicken won ton soy sauce soup. It is not the first thing you think of flavor-wise when it says Thai Chicken Won Ton Soup. It is very salty because of the amount of soy sauce used. The won tons were good but the soy sauce was overpowering. Good enough to finish but almost too soy strong to finish. Overall a 3 Star. Quality of ingredients was fine but the use of them (TOO MUCH SOY SAUCE) should be adjusted. read more

Panera Bread - $15 meal? Not sure. It is delicious but a bit pricey. Bowl of soup is less than half full, and I left the chicken off the salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

There massive array of bagels and smears make Panera Bread the best place to order bagels for those morning meetings. But don't forget about the amazing soup and sandwich menu. Hands down, best French Onion Soup around! With the Panera Bread app you can even place you lunch order and have it ready when you get there. No more greasy fast food lunches for me! read more

I mean, the bagels are great and I'm not sure where else I could go to find a better bagel experience. The coffee is meh, and everything else on the menu is just - well, gross. I will always come back for the bagels. read more

We ordered dinner from here to go tonight and were fairly disappointed once we got home, unfortunately. The food WAS ready promptly when we got there since we did the "order ahead" function on the app, so that's why I'm giving 2 stars. However, my sandwich was made incorrectly and my boyfriend's soup had a medium length grey/blonde hair laying directly on top that he got a mouth-full of when he took his first bite. In addition, we had no forks for our fruit and no napkins which isn't ideal when you're eating something away from a restaurant or home. read more

Food is a little pricey but worth it for the quality. Delicious. Unlike other reviews I've seen, my last two visits at the Anderson location were FAR from clean. Tables, chairs and floors...messy with food and trash. read more

I really like it. It has good food, decent service, and (not trying to sound weird) a good atmosphere.

I love this place with one exception: the system for ordering. The person takes your order and then proceeds to fill your order if you order a bakery product or certain kind of drink. This is highly annoying to the other people in line as it happens with every single customer and is very time consuming. Should be a more efficient way to more the customers through the line. read more

Always have good food, whether it includes soup, salad, or sandwiches. Fresh bread, great choices, even if you're on a diet. Delicious pastries & all kinds of drinks hot or cold. People are friendly. Just wish they had a drive-through for pastries & coffee on the way to work. read more

Chicken noodle Soup didn't have enough chicken and veg. Tortilla dish too salty, but good taste otherwise.

I am a repeat customer Panera bread I buy bagel packs by the multiple for my work I've never went in to buy a pack and had the manager wait on me and go on and take the next order chat with the next order and tell some stories still don't do my bagel pack as people run around looking like the heads cut off and I said with somebody make my bagel pack oh honey we are well I'm not your honey mamma sure is more how you dress somebody because we're not on a personal level and the service was her Renda's. Then as I was leaving the story the manager was telling to the off duty worker the off-duty work or thinks it's OK to walk outside and start yelling at me telling me to find my order in if I don't like to wait no Panera bread take the orders in the order of the people standing there and finish the one order before you start the next order read more

I picked up my dinner here tonight after a long day at work. The staff here was awesome and super friendly. I waited extra for part of my order because they needed to make more. The staff member apologized multiple times- even though she said it would only be a couple more minutes- and offered me a free bakery item. I declined because it was only a couple minutes. I was super happy with my experience. I didn't check my order and came home to find part of my order missing. I was kind of bummed and called to see if I could get a coupon for my next order or something. The manager apologized multiple times and refunded me my whole order. I'm still 100% happy with my order even though I'm missing half of it. It's nice to see that there's still great customer service out there!! read more
