Nice and clean location, but the customer service leaves a little to be desired. The guy at the counter who took our order was very cold and robotic and didn't even offer is the receipt (we had to grab it ourselves off the printer) and it is a good thing we did since when our order came out we were missing the full bowl of Autumn Squash Soup. And while I can appreciate that when we told the guy at the pick up counter we were missing part of our order he asked to see our receipt, usually if a customer tells you they are missing part of their order, it isn't them trying to pull a fast one and cheat Panera out of a bowl of $4 soup...just a note for future customer service reference. Needless to say, it was lucky we grabbed it the receipt, otherwise we would have been out money and soup. The only other thing of note is the poorly placed changing table in the women's restroom. When it is pulled out the person in the first stall is held hostage as you cannot get out w/o the door hitting the table. So unless you are the size of a sheet of cardstock, you will have to awkwardly wait, like I did, for the close of baby business. read more

Super rude staff!! Talk to you like you're stupid. Customer service needs a lot of work and there was only a couple customers and it took forever. Won't be going back Would 100% not recommend. read more

Saturday at 7pm, store is out of all menu items that require bread. Time to change name of restaurant from Panera Bread to just "Panera". Or perhaps the bread is held up on a ship at one of the ports with our holidays toys... read more

Food is good for a chain, but the interior feels dilapidated, in disrepair and terribly inadequate for the Galleria. Ugh.

This was the grossest panera I've ever eaten. I ordered Mac & cheese, easy classic from them. It was so nasty tasted like old spaghetti, I was there to take a conference call & unfortunately couldn't return to get my money back. So disappointed, never had a bad experience at Panera before food quality or taste wise but noted & I won't go back or recommend to anyone in the area. read more

This location has zero quality control. I've been coming here for years and has not gotten any better. Mobile orders must not be well liked by the staff. Items are sometimes missing. The sandwiches are not cut consistently and more often than not they use the wrong bread without telling you. This location also runs out of essential items as part of most of their sandwiches. My interaction with the staff is hit or miss. Overall my rating for value/price is poor. read more

Every time I come, the quality goes down! I used to love coming here for the "You Pick Two" option. I would get an apple and I would always comment on how crunchy they were! Now the apples are mealy, the "You Pick Two" price is super high, and the Thai and Asian Sesame salads are practically just lettuce covered in fried wontons. Even the cookies aren't anything special anymore. read more

Some of the slowest service I have ever experienced and the employees completely unconcerned with the massive line of people waiting on to go orders and the very long wait time for those of us eating in. Zero sense of urgency, which was incredibly frustrating. Update, finally asked for it to be to go bc I was running so late. Employees were standing around trying to figure out what went into orders and were clearly untrained. While I stood there 3 more people came up to complain. read more

Doors were so dirty. Not sure they had Been cleaned in weeks. No hand soap in woman's bathroom. Was given choice of apple slices or chips. Served an apple with no knife. read more

This place wouldn't pass my standards with any stars PERIOD! Sad to say when those promotions like free bagel month comes here what has happened... 1. One Saturday I came in around 12 pm and I explained I wanted a free bagel because of the promotion the older lady didn't understand and I showed her the email and my Panera reward.. Even worse she didn't know how to ring the promotion up and was getting ready to charge me. I mean I explained to her it was a free bagel month. IT WAS SIMPLE BITCH you take my F*** reward card and swipe and give me my Damn bagel BITCH!!!! 2. Saturday 4/22 I placed my order I placed my order on the Panera bread app and guess what happens when I arrive... my order is not on rapid pickup when I was picking up my order. I told the kitchen staff and they scrambled to look for my order and I told them my order, when I said... plain bagel, sliced NO TOAST and guess what happens the bagel gets sliced (correct) and toasted it (OH HELL NO). Cream cheese wasn't something I wanted but oh well it was free... LOL!!!! 3. Tonight 4/24 AGAIN I placed my order on the Panera bread app and guess what happens when I arrive... my order is not on rapid pickup when I was picking up my order. I told the kitchen staff and they scrambled to look for my order. The kitchen staff and they said that the person TRASHED my FUCKING order SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY? And the customer is right IN FRONT waiting. In summary this location UNLIKE the Gateway and Cedar Park I have no issues but this is BULL SHIT off the bat and I'm not satisfied period! If my order messes up again not only I will take this to corporate office. I will F*** shame your location on every review page and fellow locations I do business with. I'm taking this review and POST onto CORPORATE Facebook page!!!! I'm SICK and TIRED of your attitudes do it right or I'LL take my order to a different location and I'll TRASH talk your location to other locations I do my orders with. read more

This place is unbelievable, $6 for half a sandwich? I ordered an over-easy egg on this tiny "breakfast sandwich" it was cooked over hard smh, for the money get some real sized portions read more

My co worker LOVES Panera! As an office we decided to have an order for her and her family delivered to her as a surprise. This location had OUTSTANDING customer service throughout the process. I asked if they could write a special note and the manager made it happen! Customer service superstars! read more

I love Panera Bread but this location is dirty, old and terrible. I can't believe Panera Bread company would even allow this! Corporate needs to come in and do something fast. read more

I had a most unpleasant experience at this Panera today. Came in for a late lunch at around 3:00, ordered a soup and sandwich, and proceeded to look for a table to sit at. The restaurant was not busy, only about 3 tables had people at them, and staff was standing around idly. What I found was quite unappetizing, and had I already eaten, I might have lost my lunch right then and there (though that's a slight exaggeration, the following IS an accurately description of what I saw). The MAJORITY of tables had one or more of the following on them: dirty plates, napkins, liquids... there were used napkins and crumbs on the seats and floors in and around these tables. It was really disgusting. Especially since it was not busy and as I said before, plenty of staff standing around doing nothing! I approached the manager and politely shared my observations with him. He was sitting at a table doing some paperwork and his response was kind of unexpected: Rather than express any genuine concern, he simply nodded at the account and very casually acknowledged my observations. Obviously, he's set the tone for his staff. The men's bathroom was equally filthy, with paper towels strew about the floor and (I kid you not) long hairs in the urinal. I was in there a few months ago and it was super clean. This time it was really gross! What happened? I won't be going back there any time soon, that's for sure. Hope you guys can make the necessary corrections at what should be a comfortable place to eat. Right now its far from that. read more

Nothing is ever right at this place. I just cant stand it. But i do get roped into going here on occasion by family. The food is decent but too high priced for the quality, quantity and service. Over $10 for a quarter sandwich and cup of soup. $33 for two adults and a kid with only water. You have to basically serve yourself. Get your own silverware and condiments. The menu is confusing, the staff is usually mediocre. They started making the portions smaller and then give you a bigger piece of bread with your meal to fill you up. Again, food quality and taste are fine. Nothing else is enjoyable here. read more

I love Panera Bread. This is a quick stop for me after work on my way to school. Hardly ever seems busy. My food has always come out correct. Its nice its next to Trader Joes. I just wish the salad Togo containers were bigger because what u get sitting down is not the same as getting it to go. But the great thing they do is donate all unsold bread & baked goods to local hunger relief & charitable organizations at the end of the day. read more

I like the food here, just wish they would read the menu order when it comes through. The 2nd time I've had cheese on my salad when I asked for none, with my cheese allergy I need to be very careful.. Hate throwing away food when i'm back at the office. read more

I rarely give a bad review but I just walked out today. This location must have trouble finding help or something. 1 lady in front of me ordered like 2 things to go. I stood there for 10 minutes to order coffee and a roll. Perusing the very limited selection of rolls, and I turned around to see they didn't have dark roast coffee, with a sign up saying they have limited selection certain times. This was at 9:30 am and you have limited coffee? Clerk was still trying to run the cash register. I gave up and went up the street. C'mon Panera you can do better. read more

Every time I come here the food and service is consistent and great. Last night I made a user error ordering on the app and the employee and manager couldn't have been more helpful/ handled it promptly and to satisfaction. Great spot to get a quick and healthier meal! read more

It's Panera... Typically all the same. However this particular location has served me ice cold "Hot Panini" on more than one occasion, and I was told my beloved Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice soup was discontinued. That's the main reason I go to Panera, THAT soup! I took my complaint to panera's FB, and the company themselves assured me the cashier at the Hill Country Galleria location was mistaken. Giving this location 3 stars due to the multiple cold hot paninis, the cashier (and her manager who assured she was correct), and the fact that patrons at this location don't seem to understand the fact that you clear your own tables and don't let your hellion children block the doors. read more

love love love me some Panera Bread!! i always get the mac n cheese (game changaaa) and have only been disappointed once, because it was over cooked (better over than under, right?). the desserts and breakfast items are delicious and are always fresh. I could eat the coffee cake forever!! if you haven't been there, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! go!! like now!! read more

Panera is in our lunch rotation and we have our go to items. Like all locations you can order via a kiosk which is quick and easy especially when you just reorder the same menu items every time. Unfortunately this location is not the best. I love their soups but I swear this location serves day old French bread as the side and that is disappointing. Given the proximity to our house we have to go here but have resorted to getting the soups to go so we can eat with our own bread. read more

What's good? I had the roasted turkey, avocado, and bacon sandwich. It was tasty. Their soups are usually pretty good too. I also dig the Acai tea. What's not good? The best help $8 an hour can purchase, exemplified by the cashier who literally threw a pen in my general direction after handing me the receipt. Would it have been that hard to hold it for another second before I could take it from her hand? This location is quickly becoming run down and losing any appeal it might have originally had when it didn't feel like a downtown Burger King. Someone needs to buy this place some cleaning materials. There was a girl wandering around with a rag, but it's questionable how much cleaning was being done since the tables were all pretty gross and the floor was looking equally rough. It wasn't that busy of a night that keeping up would be too difficult. Also, the employees were freely admitting "we're pretty much running out of everything." How's that supposed to make me feel about eating your food? I'm concerned for the Hill Country Galleria's reputation as many of the shops in the area are either trying to go upscale, or are struggling to hang on and can't care to try harder to keep an upscale-ish appearance. Panera is an example of a location on the downhill slide. read more

order modern caprese with no cheese, but I got with cheese , when we asked the crew member he said the order was with cheese after we confirmed the cashier who took the order he when got us another sandwich with out cleaning the plate. I gave 3 stars to the delicious sandwich. Not the service. . read more

Poor food and service quality. My breakfast sandwich was poorly made and the green tea was watered down. The managers on duty, Casey and Jay, were unpleasant when addressed about the issue. I would have preferred to make a private comment to corporate but OH WELL. Like their attitudes. read more

The girl bringing out the food was abrupt, no conversation, no thank you! Three stars because a man helped us at the kiosk

I just can't do Panera anymore. It used to be one of my favorite chain sandwich shops, but it seems like their changes over the past year or so are completely ruining the restaurant. Between ordering, pickup, getting drinks, the process is almost completely incoherent at this point. Employees are always nice and professional, I actually feel sorry for someone who has to try and deal with such absurd changes. This restaurant chain has clearly become only about the bottom line. They haven't even gotten to the 100% DIY ordering that I recently read they are transitioning to in the news, that's a trainwreck waiting to happen. Something as simple as ordering an espresso has become tedious. Why would the person taking my order have to leave the counter and make it instead of a dedicated barista? No buzzers anymore for to go orders. Nobody asked for my name so I guess they're just going off the name on the credit card? Standing in a 3ft hallway with 8 other people also assuming someone is going to call their name. As far as food goes, some of it is still fairly good. The eggs on the breakfast sandwiches are hardly edible. Soup has a lot of salt. Fresh breads are great. The seasonal flatbread sandwich things were surprisingly really good, southwest one especially. Most of the sandwiches and salads are very good. The pasta experiment is a joke, soggy, salty, and otherwise flavorless noodles of despair. But, the deliberate transition into another soulless commercialized chain, is their undoing. Everything that originally made me want to go to panera is being deliberately tossed out in what I can only assume is some experiment to see how much profit they can create while removing as much character from the restaurant as possible. They're basically trying to create a life size vending machine which is why I'll eat somewhere else. read more

I ordered through the panera website. They did not deliver 3 bread bowl, and my soup was also missing. They also did not deliver 4 baguettes either. I tried calling the store and no one answered. I tried to leave comments on their website and could not get past the delivered page. Very frustrating. I understand businesses are hurting but I'm not asking for over and above. I'm asking for the items I paid for. This happens a lot and why I don't normally order from Panera. read more

I did not have the experience of rude service or dirty tables when I visited Panera a couple of weeks ago. The service was in fact friendly and the tables and restrooms were clean. I had the Thai Chopped Chicken Salad. The salad itself was pretty good and the baguette it came with was delicious. I had been to Panera only once before for a bagel (well they aren't "real" bagels, more like big circles of bread, but still delicious!). The array of pastries looked tempting but I held off :) I would be back to try something else on the menu and snorkel some pastries if I'm feeling extra glutenous that day. read more

Husband picked up dinner from Panera Bread, we got a cup of soup with mostly both and a sandwich that could fill a small child, the bill was over 20 dollars!! Very disappointed!! This is the second time this has happened. read more

I used to eat here all the time. The roasted apple cheddar sandwich is divine! Cranberry bread sets it OFF! Only had one bad experience when the bread was soggy. EEEEKKKKK! Regardless of that, I still recommend it. This place is a bit pricey for what you get. A small half salad is over $7. The chicken broth bowl was pretty good. Definitely have to be in the mood to for it. Shame you can't have this as an option for pick 2. The cashiers are usually patient to help decrypt the menu. That's a plus! read more

We love Panera but we had the worst experience here today. Our broccoli cheddar was watered down and barely lukewarm and it's bread was cold and hard. We asked for coffee to enjoy a pastry and our coffee was not even lukewarm! It was COLD. The chairs are tearing, area was unkept or dirty, and appeared as staff hadn't received any training. True disappointment read more

I went to Panera today for a quick bite. I ordered a small bowl of chicken soup. When my order arrived I noticed the spoon was not clean so I just washed it with water. I began eating my soup only to find the soup bowl was worse. I had this brown grunge all around the botton side. I used my finger nail and scraped it up. GROSS! I went to the front counter where 3 ladies where just giggling and talking and said," excuse me, but I dont appriciate eating out of a dirt bowl." Their respose after looking at the bowl was, "sorry." That's it! So if you work as a food inspector I would definatley check them out before someone gets food posinig or some other illness from eating from dirty silverware or dishes. Bee Caves read more

I have fond memories of Panera on the east coast and usually enjoy it. My first visit to the Galleria location wasn't very impressive. How are you gonna charge me $8 for a grilled cheese sandwich that isn't even grilled? I still like Panera, I will probably just never go back to this particular one. read more

Reached out a couple of times about things not being correct and thorough when placing delivery. Last time, it was never addressed or corrected. Today it happened again, our business uses them frequently but unfortunately when things are not addressed it forces us to go elsewhere. Looks like you guys have lost a customer. Things should not be missing as frequently as they are here. read more

Dirty and disgusting. Roaches in bathroom, water all over the floor by the drink machine. Can't imagine it being any worse. Who manages this place??? read more

Customer service sucks, as I sit in Panera Bread and write this review. I'm so annoyed got my order wrong, when I ask for what I wanted it's like I'm asking for a million dollars! They should be honoring their customers as they walk through the doors with their exceptionally high prices for soup and a sandwich! Last time my family will eat here ! read more

Why are ALL Panera's so dirty??? They are dark and dirty! Food, trash all over the floor. Food left on tables outside. We are here at noon so it's not like the rush had happened. Clean up your stores!!!! The food was gross today. I found a hair in my salad, wilted brown lettuce. The Cuban had NO meat on it. The chicken noodle soup was cold. It was AWFUL! Avoid! read more

Our kiosk ordered dinner was missing an entree item. This is the second time this has happened. The first time it was just a cookie. No big deal. Last night it was a whole sandwich. My boyfriend didn't notice the error until he got home. Called the store within 10 minutes of the time stamp on the receipt but it was too close to their closing for them to answer their phone apparently. Called again in the morning and was told it couldn't be refunded over the phone. We'd have to come in to the store and they would refund or give a free sandwich. It's not free. We already paid for it. It should have been sitting on your counter last night with our contact number in your kiosk system. They seem to be underutilizing their technology in this location. They don't use their order screens to make every item or verify the order is complete before handing it to the customer, they don't use their credit card processing system in a way that refunds customers without further inconveniencing them, and they don't use their telephones within 5 minutes of their closing. This was my favorite restaurant at the galleria. Waking distance from my apartment. My kids and I would eat here often. Signing off with the infamous words of every scorned yelp user "I won't be back." To other to go customers: make sure you check your order before you leave because they aren't. read more

We always enjoy eating at Panera Bread. I love the Pick 2 menu for a combo of salad and sandwich. It's great how they post the calorie count right on the menu. My only complaint is that it can get a bit crowded, especially on the weekends. read more
