    Greek Salad with Chicken and Rice Soup
    Lynda H.

    Panera is one of those places where I always feel I can depend on to be consistent in flavor. I was a bit disappointed with this restaurant and why I only gave it three stars. First of all, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was helpful. Also, we didn't have to wait long for our order. I ordered the greek salad with the Chicken Rice soup. The soup was yummy. The bread was hard (not sure why they can't put it in the microwave for a couple minutes to soften), but it was fine when I dipped it in the soup. What I had an issue with was the greek salad. Everything was fresh, but the salad dressing had no taste. I've ordered this salad several times at our Panera in Indiana and it was always delicious. I should have asked them for more dressing, but not sure that would have helped. Maybe I'll try something else when I'm in the area again.

    Awful... a friend, bless them, offered to get us dinner tonight, my husbands chicken sub had barely any chicken on it, my flatbread the same thing!! The kids chicken avocado had more chicken on it than either one of the ADULT entrees. Awful!!

    Paid $10 for this and the sandwich is smaller than the cup of soup.

    I Paid $10 for this and the sandwich is smaller than the cup of soup. This Panera keeps ripping me off.

    Panera makes me happy, happy makes me Panera.

    One of my favorite paneras that I've been to. I used to go all the time in New Jersey and I've only been to one Panera since I moved to alabama. It was disappointing and it led me believe that, the quality might just be may be subpar in this state. Not this location! What a redeeming experience. This Panera had high ceilings, fast wifi, tons of sunny seating space, and friendly servers. The only downside was one that's common to most paneras and that is the dirty floors. I assume that's typical of a coffee shop that attracts people who spend hours sitting eating and working in one spot. They could definitely keep it more clean to get a 5th star from me! Will be back and definitely recommend.

    Don't expect to get items on menu

    My food was good, but way overpriced. Plus, no sweet tea. It's the south. You got to have sweet tea.

    If you like your food being inconsistent, then this is what you want. I don't recommend Panera.

    So... I've attempted to go to Panera in Athens, AL a couple times this week. There are signs on the door that say "CAFE CLOSED" and a bunch of smaller writing I couldn't read from my car.…

    It has been about a month since I was up there, but I believe just the inside dining is closed.

    Really more like a 3.5, FWIW…read more Took a lil roadtrip out to Athens with my folks on a day off last week. We wanted to try this place. Since it is in the main part of downtown, super close parking is a bit of a big ask; we parked at a public government building about two blocks down and walked over. The inside is very small and only has a couple of two-seater tables and one bench setup, but there are multiple nice metal tables outside to sit at if the weather is good. Fortunately, we lucked out in that regard, as it was a nice day. The inside of the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing, so I was excited to order. Their lunch menu mostly consists of sandwiches and burgers, with limited sides like chips, broccoli salad, soup of the day, and so on. Bottled drinks and a couple of desserts round it all out. My parents split a Philly cheese steak sandwich with pasta salad; I got a chicken cheese steak with a cup of the soup of the day (potato), and we shared a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for dessert! The employees were nice enough to bring our food out to us while we were at a metal table on the patio, so that was sweet. Food came out relatively quickly and was definitely fresh. Overall, it was fine! My favorite thing was probably the strawberry pretzel salad; I wish I'd had a little more but I should've ordered my own portion! lol. The potato soup had really nice garlicky croutons on top that I enjoyed, though I wish there'd been bigger chunks of potato in it. I liked my chicken Philly just fine though I feel like it was missing some sort of flavor somewhere. My parents felt the same about their regular Philly. Unlike me, though, my mom unfortunately got several gristley bits she had to spit out. The chicken didn't have that same problem. Overall, a pleasant enough experience though I wouldn't say our socks were knocked off, haha. I'd return and try other menu options if I come back in the future.

I'm…read morevisiting from California, staying with my boyfriend here in Athens, Alabama, and I was seriously craving pizza. He suggested Marco's, but I wanted to try something new and closer, so I compared reviews between Marco's and Mozza--and Mozza definitely came out on top. We ordered a large half Supreme/half Meat Lover and a side of Garlic Knots. Wow. The pizza was incredibly flavorful, and the Garlic Knots were perfectly soft and delicious. A little suggestion, they should cut the slices smaller though. Even my boyfriend, who usually sticks to Marco's, admitted that Mozza is way better--and he's officially switching over. Oh and they were really quick with our order too. Highly recommend! Oh it was so good that we grubbed and forgot to take pictures of the whole pizza.

    I've been to the Jordan Lane location before. I went for lunch here to get some to go pizza slices…read more Grabbed cheese, margherita, and buffalo chicken. Pizza was reheated and served in one of their boxes. They were helpful in letting me know what was behind the glass case for their pizza of the day. I know thin pizza wouldn't exactly be as crispy as I wanted so I can't complain too much, but it was kind of falling apart when I was eating it. It was also dripping in oil. I only had two slices and I was already full. One thing I would caution staff is if someone asks for a "vegetarian pizza" that there shouldn't be any meat on there. If you look at the margherita slice, there's a piece of chicken on it. Even though, my experience here was decent, I'll probably still give it another try at a different location since I enjoy thin crust pizza.
