    Thank you Javier for such great service and for being patient as I try to figure out my order. Truly changed a bad day into a good one! Thank you!

    Dirty stains on the wall

    When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted. There was another person in front of me ordering. There's two self service machines to place orders so I waited until one of them was free. Placed my order. The machine does take gift-card payments. Waited about 5 minutes. Found a booth, but it was kinda dirty? Not sure if anyone really cleans the tables and walls. The sandwich I ordered was really good, it was chipotle chicken with avocados. The bread wasn't as hard as I thought it would be so that was good. It was my first time trying it and I was satisfied. The chips were tasty too.

    Food ALLERGY not checked

    I have returned three times since my last experience here and I'm happy to say that they have been reading and taking extra care with my food allergy of "No Dairy. " It is really important to me and it shows that they care and it's important to them as well. I relaxed and studied inside in their loving environment and smiling staff.

    Then sliced baguette

    I put in an order through DoorDash. It was delivered in timely manner with everything packaged nicely. I got a half a turkey ranch sandwich with a Fuji apple half salad and it was very good.. I got a half dozen bagels and cream cheese and they two were good as well as a baguette cut up and thin slices.. Give them a try Bon appétit

    this week I decided to go to multiple Panera in multiple different areas. This location is located in the aNTIOCH Brentwood area at Lone Tree. I ordered the same thing every day and it looks like the croissant sandwich keeps getting smaller. It's not as smashed down as the one yesterday and San Jose but still total for the sandwich was $10.72.

    Avocado melt sandwich I got.

    I have been a regular at least 2,3 days a week customer of Panera Bread at Concord and Brentwood for last year. Panera was my to go place for last at least 5yrs. But last six months I have noticed that they really try to save on the fillings while the price is going up. There's no avocado or other fillings in the avocado melt and the soup is filled 1/2 way in the container. Bad move Panera. Two stars are for the flavor.

    Ordered a egg and cheese croissant sandwich. I had one a few months ago and it looked like the picture on the website and in store. Today I received one almost the size of an egg mcmuffin. $6 for this tiny sandwich. They should be ashamed of themselves for ripping of customers. I included the photo of my sandwich and their website. It was barely bigger than the tip of my small coffee.

    It's been several years since I've sat down at a Panera and now I remember why it's been so long. The god awful 70s music they pipe into the restaurant at a high volume is unbearable. I couldn't wait to finish and get out of there. Couldn't even enjoy the food. It was tasty food using high quality ingredients, but SOOO overpriced. I mean $14+ for a cup of soon and 1/2 sandwich? Seriously, I could have went to a nice sit down restaurant with actual table service for the same price or less.

    Tuna Sandwich

    Me and my wife just dropped off our kids and thought of having a breakfast date. What I have in mind was a traditional cafe but she suggested Panera Bread and we were on our way. Panera Bread never occured to me when thinking breakfast but upon seeing their menu, their selection was pretty good. I was homing to a sausage type sandwich when I saw a Tuna sandwich and I am an absolute sucker for tuna sandwich. My wife had a Chicken Cobb sandwich and a few moments later our order was waiting for us in the counter. I must admit, it is the 'tuna'est' tuna sandwich I had ever have. It has very good flavor on top of a heap of leafies with make for a very hearty sandwich. Their brand chips was very good as well, albeit a little less than normal. Wife's chicken sandwich was good as well. Overall, I had a good breakfast at Panera Bread and felt good too afterwards.

    Receipt 3rd item down.

    Went in for an early evening ramen craving after my husband suggested Ramen 101. I wasn't too…read moreexcited, but decided to give it a try. We ordered the chicken karaage, seafood ramen, and chow mein. The chicken karaage was the highlight--crispy, flavorful, and definitely the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, the ramen and chow mein were pretty underwhelming and didn't stand out in terms of flavor. The experience was also a bit lacking overall--the soda machine was out of ice and they didn't have Pepsi available. The place was just okay in terms of cleanliness. But the lady who waited on us was very nice, and pleasantly very gracious. So if I come back anytime soon, it's probably because of the service and the karaage.

When I got in, it was rush hour and all tables except for one were full. The sign at the front asks customers to wait and order before being seated, so I waited at the ordering station. I was immediately preceded by a gentleman who decided to go straight from the door to the one open table, without checking in as the directions want customers to. He did this in full view of the staff who seemed to allow it. I waited for a few minutes for one staff member to come I was quickly turned away due to lack of tables. The optics of this experience were quite negative. I appreciate that this gentleman would've been seated before me if in theory he was placing an order before me, and that would've been fair. However, in this situation, staff allowed him to go straight to a table to claim it, without him actually ordering, and because I had stayed at the order kiosk as asked by the posted directions I was subsequently told to go elsewhere for a meal. It's a shame this place prioritizes pushiness over politeness.

We were in the area last month and I really wanted pho, especially since it was a chilly and stormy day. Golden Gate Pho came well recommended, so it was a no brainer for us to try their food. It was a quiet day, but service was friendly and attentive. We were seated immediately. There were only a few others dining in, so it was pretty peaceful. The restaurant was clean, with ample seating. We got to sit at a comfy booth this time, but there were also regular chairs and tables for larger groups. I went with the #60 pho, which comes only in the large size. My husband went with one of his favorite Vietnamese dishes, the beef stew with bread. We didn't have to wait very long for our food to arrive. The baguette that came with the beef stew was a really nice size. It was toasted and crunchy on the outside while pillowy on the inside. I tried a bit of the beef stew itself and it was tender and seasoned well, with a rich broth. My pho was so good. I loved that it was served with the rare steak on top for me to cook at the table. The herbs were fresh and the meat was tender. There was a good amount of meat as well, and the broth was flavorful without being heavy or oily. The noodles were perfectly cooked. This was definitely one of the best bowls of pho I've had besides at my usual spots in Sacramento. While we don't go to this area often, I would really love to return whenever we next pass through. Nothing beats a solid, comforting bowl of pho, and Golden Gate Pho fits the bill.

I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ chicken, and honestly, it made me feel like I was transported straight to Hawaii. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with that sweet and savory BBQ flavor that just hits the spot. Every bite was satisfying and comforting. The sides were just as enjoyable--the macaroni salad was creamy and well-balanced, and it paired perfectly with the meal. I also loved how the plate came with veggies and two generous scoops of rice, making it a complete and filling dish. The portion size was no joke either--it's definitely big enough to share, or you can save some for later like I did. The place itself was clean and had a nice, casual vibe, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.

I also got the grilled shrimp on the side, and my husband ordered the short rib--both were really tasty. The service was great as well. The server was quick to assist us, even though he seemed to be the only one working at the time. I also liked their menu board--it looked modern and well put together, not cheap at all. On top of that, the prices were very affordable for the amount and quality of food we got. If I had one critique, it would be that the place could use a bit of updating. Other than that, it's a solid spot, and we'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.
