This is a busy location but it has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. If they are real busy, food will take longer to get out. It was relatively quiet inside. The food was good. I would go back again for lunch. read more

My mom absolutely loves coming here. She loves getting the fresh breads in the morning. I haven't dined at this location for years and wanted to check it out. Their menu is still the same. Sandwiches, salads, soups, pastries, breakfast and more. My favorite is the bacon turkey bravo. I love that Panera offers a pick two or mix & match options. Just recently, I came in and got 4 Asiago sticks from the bakery and a Dragonfruit Sunset Energy Refresher which is new. Both were great and received great service. read more

This Panera is very poorly managed. The manager couldn't even use the register. It appears the staff are such pals that paying customers take a backseat to texting kitchen crew. The food is stale. The hiring is careless. read more

Worst experience of my life, we were the only ones there, two hours till close, plenty of people on staff. Tables and carpet floors were trashed. Completely disgusting. $20 for a sandwich that's about to fall in half which is not even the sandwich we ordered and cold mac & cheese. Shut this place down. read more

Panera Bread - A half salad in a pick two. - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Customer service here was great! Wanted to try out the Asiago steak, but wasn't sure of the bread that comes with it and the staff was able to articulate why i should have that Asiago bread because it really brought out the total flavors of the sandwich. Another great option is their BLT sandwich. The honey bacon brings out the flavor with a slight sweetness. Their chili is a good soup option to get. I usually dip my sides (breads) in there, but if you don't want bread, there's an option for fruit or chips as well. Plenty of dining areas and facilities were clean. No kiosks for self service at this location though. read more

First really fantastic visit to Panera. Despite an entire Tennis team ahead of us in line we were able to order quickly. I decided on soup and sandwhich, Squash soup and Zesty Italian Bagel a bit pricey for lunch but very delicious. Perfect pairing of creamy and slightly spicey. My only somewhat cautionary comment is that the salt content of the food is definitely on the very high side, especially the bread. I will add Panera back into my regular rotation and hope they will keep up the more unusual seasonal offerings read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Panera Bread on Robert C Daniel Pkwy Augusta, GA. Food: Ok, the star and my personal go-to, the broccoli cheddar soup. It's so tasty and comforting. The cheese steak sandwich was good however Panera sandwiches always seem to be more bread than meat. The chicken sandwich was really good. I had pause with the added avocado nevertheless a really good sandwich. Service: Caleb was a great cashier. Friendly, and competent on the new menu items. He really has the personality for line of work! Ambiance: Really big and spacious establishment , booth and table seating. read more

Nice vegan options Was part of a large, catered lunch. The Mediterranean sandwich or salad was one of the options. I had the Mediterranean sandwich made vegan by omitting the cheese. It was delightful, very flavorful. Unfortunately the cookie contains animal allergens (egg and milk). If stuck eating Panara again, I would happily order this sandwich again. read more

ordered doordash here and my sandwhich wasnt put together properly it was two peices of bread on top of the meat. soup was good but they also didnt add the bread included in the order. overall lazy service read more

The food and service was good The bathrooms, at the women's, were not properly cared for - one stall lacked toilet paper, the door didn't lock on the second Definitely not normal Panera quality read more

I was not at all happy with my sandwich. I got there New Philly cheese staek and was very disappointed. There wasn't very much caramelized onions or Perry peppers, and the amount of meat they used was probably just enough for half of a sandwich spread out. I would have been better of going to Firehouse subs or McCalisters. I gave 2 stars because the brownie was actually fresh and delicious. I came here to help fundraising that was being done for a dog rescue group. That will be the only reason I ever go to Panera in the future. read more

The food was fine and I got the food via Uber on time, but I didn't get enough forks and no napkins. There were only 2 small containers of salad dressing for a salad for 4 people. I wish there was an option to choose other items besides a piece of bread to go with the soup or sandwich. I will think twice about my order. read more

how do you have a dip sandwich deal.. and serve a take out meal that doesn't get the dip. it might be good food, but they gotta tighten up staffing before I'll order from there again. That Augusta restaurant is SURROUNDED by other restaurants. if I can't get what I ordered, I'll just go elsewhere. read more

Since I really like that Panera has a program that gives out their leftovers to organizations that feed the hungry, I stop by every once in a while for breakfast or a cinnamon crunch bagel. We stopped in for breakfast sandwiches but missed the window and ended up having to order off the lunch menu. The cashier was very sweet and patient as she tried to explain the "pick two menu to us. I ordered the "pick two" and got half a chicken salad and tomato soup. As a side you have a choice of an apple, a piece of baguette or a bag of chips. I got the baguette. My friends both paid extra to get a whole chicken cordon blue melt with French Onion soup. We all ended up with French Onion as my request for tomato soup went unheeded and I didn't care enough to argue. After we had placed our orders we found a nice table in the bright and clean dining area. We all drank coffee which was good. My chicken salad was good if not inspired. The chicken cordon blue sandwich was overwhelmed by horseradish sauce and the chicken was tough. The piece of baguette proved too chewy to be worth the carbs. The French Onion soup was sweeter than it should have been in a broth that lacked any real depth of flavor. I think, in the future, if I miss the breakfast window, I will forgo the lunch menu, cut my losses and simply order a pastry and coffee. read more

It's Saturday 6:00 am -July 4th and I'm wide awake wanting Panera. Robert C Daniel location opens at 6 and I just go to my Panera app. place my curbside order, select the time- I chose ASAP. Once that's selected and you arrive there's an option on app to check that says I'm here .. As soon as I pulled up that's what I did and a nice Panera associate walked right out with my order. It's that simple! I smiled and said yippee I love curbside. If you're planning on getting a to go order I suggest you download the app it saves a lot of time. After 5 visits you're rewarded with (ex.) $1 off a beverage, a free pastry, $2 off order.... etc... it's just random. I can say I often get emails throughout the month for $2 off lunch or 20% off you pick 2 which is half of any two items.. I guess I go there way too much. read more

Panera Bread - Spinach-bacon, egg soufflé -cinnamon crunch bagel- honey walnut cheese cream. - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Really?!? I ordered a cup of cream of chicken wild rice soup and I got chicken noodle soup. I also ordered it to go and I had to ask the guy to give me a spoon because that was not provided. And the baguette I got is hard as a rock. Seriously, how hard is it to read a ticket and put the correct soup in a cup?! And the audacity to ask for a tip. Why? Can't even give me what I ordered. read more

Panera Bread - Where on my receipt does it say chicken noodle soup?! - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Meh. I mean Panera is always great food right? So I guess it was the service? The lack luster staff? We were on a road trip and so glad to find a place to take a business call and find a familiar lunch. But maybe the staff is just getting use to being helpful or friendly? Order took a while. And it felt like the guy was talking at me instead of to me. Maybe next time in another location will be better. The menu has expanded a lot. Which is a plus. read more

Panera Bread - Oatmeal raisin cookie - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

The people are very nice and the food is good only complaint is it can be a little dirty sometimes

So, honestly I had trouble writing this review because I was torn about the rating to give the restaurant. So the rating is low because of the service I got from Panera in Augusta. So this review should NOT speak for all Panera Bread. I arrived roughly at 11am before the lunch crowd. Their service was awful. First the cashier that was taking my order did not know how to purchase a gift card. The gift card amount was clearly not explained to me about it be two separate gift cards. (Who wants to give a gift card amount on two separate cards?) The plastic divider at the cashier made it difficult to hear what the cashier was saying and she could not even hear my order. I think it didn't help there was a food machine behind the cashier that was very loud. I think someone at the restaurant would have noticed that placing the machine there behind the cashier was going to make it difficult to hear your customers since it was pretty loud. So besides the gift card mix up upon purchasing, the cashier had to call her manager since she was unfamiliar on how to do a gift card transaction. When I asked the manager to merge the gift card so I can give a single gift card as a gift, she told me afterwards that this cannot be done. I kind of wish I knew this up front. After the ordering process was finished. I figure smooth sailing. Well the cashier apparently handed me my beacon to let me know when my food would be finished. In this day of COVID, wouldn't it been easier to have my food brought to my table? The restaurant was packed and I did not see people social distancing. Even when picking on the food at the food counter, there where at least four people crammed together waiting to pick up their order. Upon picking up my food, I realize they had forgotten my side order. I realize it after taking picture of my sandwiches. I guess no QC at the food order So onto the food. I got a 2 - 1/2 sandwich, a steak and cheddar and a tuna salad. The steak and cheddar with red onion was mouth water with the cheddar balancing out the steak juicy-ness. For the next 1/2 sandwich of tuna, I was pretty disappointed with the tuna salad. It came across rather bland the croissant type of bread, could have been better served on a baguette instead of the bread of the tuna salad. I would probably go back to Panera, but at a different location, because the crowd, difficult parking. spot and traffic, the lack of social distancing makes me avoid this particular Panera read more

Although the employees were friendly, the food was subpar and the ambiance was a hot mess. Please do better, your customers deserve better.

I love coming to this Panera bread because it's always clean, relaxing, the food is great, customer service is friendly, and is spacious (perfect for studying). Their food never fails to make me happy, my favorites including the Greek Salad, soup in a bread bowl, cranberry walnut bagel sliced and toasted, pecan roll....so many things! They are a little on the pricey side, but it's understandable as they use natural ingredients and bake their bread fresh daily. This time I came on a Sunday morning to buy their breakfast soufflé. I originally wanted a spinach & artichoke soufflé but they sold out of that so I got a ham & swiss instead. I love how flavorful it was, and that it was packed full of ham. The quiche was a little salty for my liking but otherwise it was great. Next time I'll try their spinach & artichoke one :) read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I ordered from this Panera for curbside pickup during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have however, also dined in this location previously as well. This Panera is generally pretty consistent, but does tend to be sort of busy. It is at the end of a retail strip, and the parking is a bit odd due to how the lot is set up. Overall, the restaurant is generally clean enough (nothing particularly clean or sparkly), and the service is typically friendly, with the food usually being of similar quality whether you order and dine in or if you order for curbside pickup. read more

Ordered the pick 2 but there was no soup so style for a half sandwich and half salad. The Asian Crunch Chicken salad was swimming in the dressing making it too astringent to eat unless you followed each bite with bread. The Chipotle Chicken Avocado sandwich had no avocado at all. read more

I've been a loyal customer, like others on here, for many years but service is now NONEXISTENT! I ordered 6 muffins for Easter breakfast and picked up what I thought was the full order nicely bagged and sealed, only to discover on Easter that 2 muffins had not been included! of course I was not going to drive 20 miles back to the store so I asked for a refund of the order which was a big disappointment. Hunter, the manager at R Daniel PKWY said I would have to come in even though he admitted they had no pumpkin muffins. He wouldn't accept a texted or emailed copy of the receipt! And my Easter was ruined. Lousy service! This was an obvious omission and they got away with it!! I'll go somewhere else from now on! read more

There may be some hope for Panera yet! A year ago, I was not impressed...but when I stopped to pick up my to-go order today for lunch, they had everything packed very nicely and the order was correct. I got the Take 2 with the green goddess Cobb salad and Mexican corn chowder, which were both delicious! Salad had chicken, half a boiled egg, and avocados...super creamy. Corn chowder had a nice sweetness to it and creamy as well with crunchy tortilla strips. Also tried the mango yuzu charged lemonade, can see myself getting addicted to this during the summer...so refreshing! But beware because it packs 260mg of caffeine which is like 7 sodas or 2 Red Bulls. Glad to see they also have individually packaged cream cheese for the bagels now....had to get the cinnamon crunch bagel with honey walnut cream cheese...it's one of my faves! Would recommend trying the things I mentioned! read more

This location is not terrible bad... it's just not that good either. Parking is tight, the tables were not particularly clean. Everyone seems rather overworked and busy to focus on customers service. On getting the order, shrinkflation has apparently arrived at Panera... the bread bowl soup contained barely 3/4 of a cup of soup.. and the bread bowl was half the size of what I recall. I would search for better options in the area in future. read more

Well, this has been a place my friends and I have been visiting for at least 10 years. We noticed though that this place is going down and.... fast!!! For the last year we noticed that the carpets are full of bread crumbs, the tables not swept and felt sticky.. They used to have great coffee but lately it's either empty or cold. Very disappointed because we loved this place and now we are in the process of looking for a different meeting place. read more

We stopped here for lunch on a driving trip to South Carolina. It was relatively convenient to I-20, with a short diversion into strip-mall land. The restaurant is located in a smaller plaza across the road from the larger shops. Their plaza was still busy, but we were able to find a parking place relatively easily. There was a short line for ordering (around 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday). The place was fairly busy. We didn't have to wait too long for the food. Overall, the place looked clean and well-run. If you are looking for a good stop for lunch (whether from travelling or shopping) and want a step-up in quality and healthiness from fast food, this is a good bet. read more

My 98 year old mother and I eat here about every 2 weeks. But on recent Thursday in Oct, we were pretty disappointed with many things . At 4:00, the desserts were almost gone, 2 of the tea/coffee were empty. The floors were covered in trash, dishes piled up in the container and the floors were so sticky. We had to wait about 4 minutes to be waited on and even though several workers came back and forth, no one even acknowledged us. What happened on this day? Yall got to do better... read more

Clean food with natural ingredients, generous size portion at this specific location, free shopping center parking lot, an A rating for their hygienic food preparation, plenty of electric outlets to charge your electronics...This is my favorite casual place to eat around here. I would recommend those dishes: The seasonal ancient grain, arugula and chicken raised without antibiotics was delightful. Another favorite is the salad with Fuji apples. The lentil quinoa bowl with chicken raised without antibiotics was satisfying. As a complementary side, you can choose between a pack of chips, a sweet and crisp organic apple, or a piece of indulgent French baguette. For breakfast, the toasted bagel with egg whites, Swiss cheese, tomatoes and avocado has been enjoyable. You can customize your order. Their bagel assortment is also wonderful. So many delightful choices between the Asiago cheese bagel, the bagel with cranberries and walnut, the bagel with blueberries, etc. Tonight, I tried the soba noodle bowl with chicken without antibiotics. It was average. Please remember to join their loyalty program to earn some free food items. You can easily download their free app on your cell. This store is also currently running a promotion: you will get $10 extra for free if you were to buy a $50 Panera gift card. The point of improvement would be to light up their sign every night. It will allow customers to find this casual restaurant easily from the road. This should generate them incremental business. On occasions, some bakery items tasted a few days old such as the hard Triple chocolate flourless pastry.... read more

This was a challenging one for me, because my husband has been ignored before when requesting someone contact him regarding an issue a year ago. But ....we decided we wanted a light lunch on the way home and it was there. I had a pleasant interaction with the cashier, and she explained the charity program they do each month. I had the Greek salad & Ham and Cheese sandwich and it was tasty. My concern was the temperature in the restaurant was too hot and it's all open windows full on sun, no shade. And the beverage station was empty of supplies, the cabinets underneath left wide open, the trash needing to be tended to and napkins refilled. Maybe it was a shift change, not sure. read more

why was I sold a watery Strawberry Banana Smoothie? ‍...Should I have called and asked for my order to be thicken?

This place has gone downhill. The customer service is poor. The cleanliness in the store lacking. The only thing i enjoyed was my salad, but even in it i found bad pieces of romaine. Management needs to step up, or at least corporate needs to come in and whip this place in to shape. read more

Service after 3 tries on a half sandwich and still not correct. I requested a refund of both sandwich and the tip. Do not tip for any reason. Customer service is -2 and food is not that great. Trash can is overflowing and floor is dirty. We need to contact cc and delete their charge. Will not go to this location. Look at their health check it says silver ware is not washed? 94 out of 100. read more
