Christine W.

I've been to many Panera breads and have always had a good experience. Not so much at this location. Was looking for a place to get a cup of coffee and something to eat after an appointment at 9:30 am. Panera was next door to where I was at, so I decided to walk over there for coffee and a bagel. I order a whole grain bagel with cream cheese and coffee. I'm told they are out of whole grain bagels. I tried a sprouted bagel. Again out. I asked what they did have: plain, cheese, cherry. So, I ordered a spinach artichoke souffle. Out, again. Next was a ham and cheese souffle. No go..all they have is cheese only. My last attempt was the chicken and avocado on whole wheat wrap. Bingo, they had it!!! I got my coffee cup and my buzzer. I had my choice of coffee and decided on the regular roast. But when I went to add half and half to my coffee, they were out! I mentioned it to the woman at the counter and she said she would look into if they have any. What? How do you not have cream for coffee at a coffee bar?!?! After a few minutes, my buzzer goes off and I get my wrap. Presentation was definitely lacking when I picked up a huge place with a small wrap on one side of the plate. Made me wonder if something was missing on this big plate with a little wrap. After all this, the wrap was pretty good. Warm, fresh wrap with egg, avocado and slight spicy chicken. The coffee was really week, which was ok, since I didn't have any creamer. It tasted more like water with a hint of coffee. This was my 1st trip to this Panera and my 1st breakfast at a Panera. Not planning on coming back to this location again, but I'd give breakfast another try at a different location.

Awesome iced coffee! I have the 9.00 a month subscription and it more than pays for itself. The staff at the Jefferson location are always awesome whether I do "rapid pick up" or curbside. Pastries and bagels are always fresh and the selection is better the early in the morning you get there. They also have by far the best and freshest breakfast sandwiches. I love the brioche with a perfectly over easy egg and cheddar cheese, just be warned you'll need a bib but if you love a perfectly cooked runny egg this is sandwich for you. I also love the scrambled egg and cheese on ciabatta. The ciabatta is tender and crisp with just the right amount of chew. One suggestion....please offer jelly or jam.

We decided to have a small diaper shower for my coworkers na s me living a theme called it Bagels and babies. I needed bagels to feed about 20 ppl. I stopped by Panera because it was close to my job. I walked in and it smells amazing. It smells of fresh baked bread and the display is filled with beautiful, delectable looking pastries. Once it was my turn I told the young lady what I needed (which I wasn't too sure). She was very patient. I got 1.5 dozen bagels. Mix and match. There was only 2 blue berry bagels and she dropped one I just picked another one. The honey walnut cream cheese is very good and I don't even care for it but I will get it from there The service was very good and quick. I will definitely go back to cop a quick bite to eat.

Chicken Frontega Panini
Zemira B.

In the spirit of being fair I'm giving this location 4 stars because my Frontega Chicken Panini was delicious but honestly my experience...Meh. Side note: I hate that Panera changed the pastry recipes. SO DISAPPOINTING, they ruined the cinnamon crunch scone smh. But yea I've gone to this location a couple of times and they have always made my sandwich exactly as instructed. I usually feel comfortable enough to sit down and eat at Panera but this location didn't give me that vibe. Also literally EVERYTIME I've gone their are never enough bagels. I'm not sure if it's b/c ppl are buying them all or they aren't making enough??? But at least my sandwich was tasty!

Just ordered from there and my bun is burnt... Panera is usually amazing but I don't know what happened with quality there.
Tarana G.

Bun was burnt... sucks cause I love Panera.. maybe just an off day... I'll try again maybe

I hope it's a fluke
Dayne N.

Not the quality I am used to from Panera. Noodles were over done and very soft and there was a cream seem to be dried out in the macaroni and cheese. They also gave a much smaller piece of bread I couldn't eat it

I'm pretty sure Panera Bread could've done a better job than this. Supposedly this is a Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt
Tara F.

Years ago when they first started building this location I was genuinely excited. A fast and healthy option in an area I frequent? How that go wrong? Well, in the beginning they were great. Everything seemed fresh and it was all tasty. That eventually all went down hill. It seems someone must've made some cut backs. The menu has changed and what's replaced it seems to be less quality. I preferred a chicken sandwich with chicken that looks like actual sliced chicken breasts. Today, I got a chipotle chicken avocado melt and let me tell you...disappointed is not the word! I sat in the drive thru longer than needed just to get a sandwich with processed chicken thrown on it and sloppily prepared. I paid $7 for a half of a sandwich that I never took one bite of. It looked disgusting. Also, let me say this. This review isn't just based on this experience. Panera Bread has unfortunately steadily gone down in quality which I think is very sad. People need more fast and healthy options, it would be great if this were one!

My "chicken Caesar" for dine in. Just lettuce & dressing. Plastic container while others had plates & silverware.
Rachel F.

Ordered a small chicken Caesar salad and a soup. For some reason , they gave me my salad in a plastic container and it only had dressing on it.. lettuce and dressing. No chicken, no cheese, and no croutons. They gave me plasticware instead of silverware to use. My soup was good and was in a normal bowl like other customers' meals. One day my husband ordered to-go from here (a half of a sandwich and an apple as his side). He picked it up and went back to work only to realize that they only gave him an apple. He could not go back since he had an afternoon full of meetings, and they did not refund him since he did not have a receipt. Poor quality control. Poor service. Poor management. I won't be back for to-go nor for dine-in. We've tried both, and I was disappointed not to get what we ordered either time.

Seasonal watermelon arugula salad
Chantel V.

I love Panera! So I ALWAYS get a 2 for meal and you should to. That way you don't have to endure the stress of choosing one or the other. I like to switch it up from a salad and a Sammy to a salad and a soup or if I'm really feeling fun a soup and Sammy. My faves are the tomato mozzarella Sammy, broccoli cheddar soup, and the strawberry summer salad. So cool stuff, they have an app where you can order your food to go and it will be at the door for pick up. So if you need a quick lunch, whoop there it is. Also, they know their baked goods are crack, it's totally why they give you that piece of bread with your meal, it's a lure. And then, if you can believe it, they give you any baked good for a mere 99cents when you buy a meal. They know what they are doing. Don't get the pecan braid /roll. Trust me. It's not really crack, but it is crack-ISH.

Romaine stems from the salad.
Lauren C.

Overpriced and underwhelming. Broccoli soup was ok but the Thai salad was gross. FULL of Romaine stems and WAY too much dressing. Yuck

This is for their catering- I had a business meeting and for lunch, they ordered Jason's Deli. We…read morehad to pick what we wanted a couple days before the meeting, so we could get what we wanted. For catering, I was surprised at how many options there were! There was salads, sandwiches, vegetarian options and lots of sides and dessert options. Because I didn't know if the sandwiches would come with sauce on them, which I don't like, I opted for a Cesar salad with a brownie. During our meeting before lunch, Jason's Deli delivered our boxes and put our names on the boxes so you knew which one was yours. I really liked this inside of just categorizing by lunch type: sandwich, salad, soup. When I opened my box, my Cesar salad was there with a big cup of dressing on the side. There was also two slices of bread and my delicious brownie. The salad was delicious and so was the bread and brownie. If I'm ever needing to cater for something, I am definitely doing Jason's Deli!

The muffalata sandwich was average, you only get to choose from ham & salami or turkey. When ordering we got the quarter muffalata special, the guy made it sound like you had to choose between ham, salami or turkey. It tasted decent, but not the real deal. Currently they have French onion soup, delicious! It was full of onions. Would def get it again. The salad bar was constantly being refreshed with new food. $7.79 and you can get a "side salad". I was so filled from the salad I didn't even need the sandwich. For $20 you have 2 full meals. Can't beat that.

But after looking around for a moment, she found a more descriptive menu. I suppose if you're a regular, that's not an issue. For a first timer, it's weird. I came here with high hopes for an Italian hoagie ("The Italian"). A good Italian hoagie is hard to find in the heart of po-boy country. The meat and cheese on this version is good, but the sandwich is kind of small and a bit dry. The menu says it includes roasted red peppers, but that was missing from my sandwich. It does appear they have a nice variety of bagels. Overall not bad, but I'm still in search of a good Italian hoagie.

Our results were all similar; we all agreed that JM was the best of the bunch. My wife and I liked Inga's more than Cheba Hut, while I preferred Cheba. However, when the final scores were tallied, Inga's came in 2nd. I wouldn't say it's a bad sandwich by any means, but I wouldn't say it's great, either. The steak imo wasn't nearly as spectacular as I'd been led to believe. Personally I'd rate it 3 stars, but since my wife and son enjoyed it more than I did I'll give it 4.

So it's pretty much two meals (unless you're super super hungry and want to eat the whole sandwich in one sitting like I did yesterday:)). They are always super quick too! I called in my order to pick it up and it only took 10 minutes. Also, the woman who is always working is super nice as well! I'll definitely continue to be a regular at this place, one of my favorite spots in Baton Rouge!

The asparagus could have been seasoned a bit more. The baked potato was also over baked and for some odd reason I didn't have bacon bits and my friend did. The gumbo was fantastic I wish I would've gotten a bigger bowl! The salad was simple yet delicious. It could've had more veggies and the cherry tomatoes could have been cut. I don't like having them roll everywhere trying to cut them on such a small plate. The drinks were amazing and don't owe me anything!

Now they are in a much better, but still cozy, space on Government Street. This facility has indoor dining space, patio dining space, and plenty of parking, including a back overflow lot. Anthony's has been in business so long due to authentic Italian cuisine, including a great variety of take out deli items. If you need some real Italian grocery items for your home, there's a good chance you can get them at Anthony's. However, if you would rather let them prepare your meal for you, that's an excellent option as well. I think they have a first rate muffuletta, and it's important to have the right bread and meats for those. This is something they have covered! Their Po-Boys are also my favorites. These are pressed so they are crispy and flattened. I typically like to get these with a small salad, which is indeed an excellent choice. If you have room, there's always some great dessert choices. Another consideration is picking up something to take home for later, I think a tub of high quality imported olives are a good selection. Don't forget their cheeses as well, these can lift your home cooking to a higher level. Next time you are in the Government Street Arts and Entertainment District, drop into Anthony's for a bite, dessert, or take home items. You'll definitely thank yourself later!

First, the store was dirty. Plates were piles up on numerous tables. The floors were sticky. Next, I ordered behind a group of three people. After they ordered, the employee walked off and I waited another five minutes or so to order. I had to repeat my order twice and correct the drink as she was pouring it. I stepped aside to wait. While waiting, a couple of kids walked in. They waited about 10 minutes without being acknowledged. They left and two employees who just needed to acknowledge their existence made some snarky comments for all to hear. While I was waiting, there was clearly a tussle in the kitchen with employees shouting at each other and one lovely f bomb dropped. Another employee mediated and calmed it down, but they all had attitude. The trio in front of me got their food after about 20 minutes of waiting. A door dasher came and waited a while during that time and got his order. Someone finally asked me what I was waiting on. I am pretty sure at that moment they just started to make it. Here is where the only star was earned - A very nice employee walked out with my food after another 10 minutes and apologized for the wait. She offered me a free item, but I just took a refill of my drink. She was friendly and acknowledged the fact I had been waiting for so long. (35 minutes for slathering chicken salad on a croissant) I walked out the door just in front of that trio who had finished their meals and I had just received mine. So I took my order home..... no side. The sandwich was correct, but they did not give me the entire order. That was disappointing. And I paid way too much for that sandwich. I won't go back. As much as I loved the restaurant and love the menu all these years, this location sours it. Someone in corporate needs to visit this location because it will not and should not make it.
