With all the gloomy weather we had this week, I needed something to warm and lift my spirits. I decided Chicken Broccoli Soup would help. I ordered my food prior to arriving which I thought was a great feature. Also love they send a lot of discounts when you sign up for their program! The food arrived quick and was very satisfying. I don't get the salads often but I've been missing out. The Caesar salad was great and large portion size. The service I did received from food pick up was great. I also like that the sitting area in Panera gives you plenty of options, clean and was also a great spot for working some after my lunch. read more

I love Panera bread soups in the winter! I ordered the home style chicken noodle. It was tasty, but I wish it was a little hotter. It was easy to order and I receive my food quickly! The restaurant is usually quiet, so I can pop in here and get work done! read more

Panera Bread - Blueberry Bagel Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Wow. What happened to Panera? This use to be one of my favorite places to grab a nice fresh lunch. Not anymore. I got a pick two meal. A cup of broccoli cheddar soup and a chicken Caesar salad. The croutons in the salad are no longer made from their baguettes. Instead they are more like something you'd purchase premade in a bag from Walmart. The soup was fine. The portions seemed much smaller and there just isn't the value that their use to be. Especially with the quality in food gone way down. The service was fast. But that's to be expected if everything is premade and they are more or less just assembling and heating it up read more

Anytime I come here the service is always spot on. I never have any issues. The restaurant is very clean as well. It's never been busy the times I've visited, so the service has been fast. On 9/5, there was a little bit of a wait but waiting on fresh food is always appreciated. My mom ordered a sandwich and enjoyed it. I had been told I needed to try a few of their cookies. I tried the lemon drop cookie & I LOVED it!! (Thanks Lucy). I definitely will be back to try more of their amazing looking cinnamon rolls, brownies , scones, fresh bread, bagels ,etc. I could go on and on. You get the point! read more

What I like about Panera Bread is they have a consistent menu that offer healthier food choices depending on what you're getting. Placing your order at the drive thru is a breeze, but it does take a while for your food to be ready, but I don't mind waiting as long as I'm getting my food made fresh. The only thing that I'd tried was there bbq chicken salad which is so good and I always get the full size salad which I have plenty of food leftover. The service is always good during my few times I'd been here. read more

it's a great place to work from all day. I always go in to get breakfast and stay past lunch. being able to have options is great so I can eat both meals there. I normally do the app to order from my table. read more

our first time to visit any site and it was a joke all the way from the individual that was swaying and semi jumping at the register to the food.....I asked the guy was he dancing and I was smiling...good mood....he said to keep his legs from going to sleep....NEVER smiled at any point or thanked us for the business....food is over priced dry sandwiches read more

Service was great. I had the spinach egg white breakfast sandwich.. love it. Would definitely go back again. read more

Panera Bread - Spinach egg white sandwich. - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

*** Updated Review *** I have recently picked up dinner a couple of times as well as stopped for a snack a couple of times. For the pick up occasions, I ordered ahead via the app and it was ready on arrival. I had the Pick 2 Creamy Tomato Soup and Four Cheese Grilled Cheese with Bacon. The sandwich seems to have shrunk considerably. If I had not upgraded my soup to a bowl instead of the cup, I would have been extremely hungry. I probably will not order again and this used to be my go to order during cold weather. I really like their seasonal iced shortbread cookies. Lately a few times I stopped by to get a snack have been disappointed that they had run out. **** Prior Review **** Pretty typical of the fast casual chain. I have been multiple times drive thru breakfast pickup, dine in breakfast and dine in lunch. I have never had an issue but nothing special either. read more

We had come here a few times recently and not had any issues. However, our most recent visit, was disastrous, and we probably won't be back. We ordered online to have the curbside delivery. I arrived about 5 minutes before the order was supposed to be ready. After waiting 10 minutes, I started calling the store. No one answered after calling repeatedly (4-5 times). It had been 20 minutes at this point. I walked inside. No one was at the front register either. I walked to the 'to-go bins' where the food was stored, waiting for someone to take it outside. Ours was there, and no one had noticed. I grabbed the food and asked the people in the kitchen area if they were delivering curbside anymore. They said they didn't know there was any food left. No one had bothered looking outside or noticing the online app said someone was waiting on their food. No one ever offered an apology. This kind of customer service is not good, esp when someone is making sure to frequent your business to keep it going. Considering there are other options, I doubt we'll be back after this experience. read more

My past Panera experiences have been at the UAB student center. This was my second time ordering at my local Panera and what a disaster it was.... I ordered online and asked for Rapid pickup via curbside. The instructions were to park in the designated spot, tap "I'm here" on the app, and the food would be out. So I followed the instructions and my food never came. After 10 minutes, I called the store. No one answered. I called again. And again. And again. And again. That's 5 times if you're keeping track, and not once did they answer the phone. So 20 minutes after I checked in, I walked into the store. My food was sitting on the counter... cold. I got the attention of a worker and said "are you not doing curbside tonight?". He said he thought they had taken care of everything. Super disappointed. I called their corporate office and after being on hold for one hour and 35 minutes a representative finally answered the call. 95 minutes y'all. And all they offered me was an apology for my experience. Never again. They lost a customer today. read more

Have eaten at Panera bread so many times I keep coming for more. I had a few breakfast And lunch sandwiches with different breads and overall have not been disappointed! Love the variety of bagels and breads and some pastries!! All the coffee is also good! read more

Stopped in the Trussville Panero's, clean restaurant always. ordered the creamy chicken & rice soup and half steak and cheese sandwich , my guest had the chicken flatbread pizza and broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl. My food was really good, the soup was so hot and creamy on a really really cold day. my guest got a whole flat bread pizza but was only suppose to get the half with the soup so it was a lot. Also it has some type of sauce on top that she wasnt very fond of. I got the charged lemonade. I mixed all the flavors and topped it with guava lemonade. soooo very good its addictive and it does charge you up. drink lightly if you can. Bathrooms were very clean and presentable. staff was nice. read more

Worst Panera I've been to. I ordered two full salads and they looked like half salads. I asked if the portions have changed and was told that is the full size. For $10 a salad it should be full. He did give me another bowl of romaine lettuce. When I go to any other Panera I get the full size and it is double the size of what I was given. I also asked for the white bread French baguette and was given wheat. The Apple for one of my sides was mushy and not edible. I also ordered the new vegetable soup and it was awful. Couldn't even eat it. Won't be visiting this location again. read more

I love Panera!! This place is a go-to for comfort food!! Being vegetarian, they have so many Plant-Based options which is rare. I love to get the Strawberry caprese salad, and the soups are amazing. I also love the Mac n cheese. You can't go wrong!! Also stop in for breakfast and try there bagels for breakfast, there to die for!! They make it so easy to order ahead and pick up your order in the "rapid pickup" area. From order to pick up was less than 10 minutes on a Friday night. Quick service and great quality fresh food. read more

They forgot my sandwich, the soup was good but no sandwich, they also messed up my friends bowl and forgot her guacamole, I tried to call multiple time but no answer, read more

Every single DoorDash order from this location has had huge food items, food from the bakery, or entire meals that I paid for and never received over the past year or so and we are done. They won't even answer the phone at this location when you call to try and talk to someone about it. Panera has the worst customer service I've had other than USPS and that says a lot. You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to find an email address I could write to. Then I got some generic, robotic response to my email about some "thanks for sharing your experience" bs that never addressed the actual issue. Pathetic. read more

This is a new location in Trussville so it was very crowded when we visited. I love Panera so I think every location is good. This one is small and the line was long, however they have kiosks where you can order for yourself so we did not have to wait at all. Once we ordered, our food was ready as fast as any other Panera. Our sandwiches were great and I really liked my soup too. Quality was up to snuff. There were plenty of staff who were coming around cleaning up and seeing if you needed anything. So it was a very enjoyable experience. They seem to be well on their way to being a solid business. read more

Yay for a quick, healthy, affordable bite to eat with the option of a nice glass of wine too! The Chicken cauliflower bowl - with cauliflower rice is nothing like eating cauliflower. It's a refreshing protein packed meal that fed me twice for $10.88 They have a drive through Excellent online allergy menu read more

So this is my first time here and they are extremely busy. They move rather quickly when preparing the food. The sandwiches we ordered were very hot and seem to be completely fresh. The cuatomer service was great as well. The man at the pick up window was ver nice and helpful. Once your order is ready, you go to the window and pick it up and the man is extremely helpful when helping you get your food. I would definitely come back to this location because everything was excellen. I didn't dine in so I'm not sure how the dine in service works. I had a call in order and that service went very well for me. read more

Place was cklean . Lady next to us was mad her whol eorder was wrong and when she complaine was told she got what she order. Willl not go back!!! read more

Pretty good - the cooks in the back are friendly & are willing to answer questions about silverware, food, etc. Ordering at the register is a bit awkward, but there are also self-order kiosks inside (2), if you would rather do that. The food itself seems lower quality than some of the other Panera locations, but it isn't bad. read more

Disappointing! No doubt it's not getting any customers anymore even on sundays! Cashiers are untrained, they made me feel unwelcome and the feeling of we made a wrong choice at eating in this place. And we were right! My husband ordered a grilled cheese, it was $7.00 and some change for a whole sandwich , so we expect something good but our expectations were too high, apparently! Send back the 1st grilled cheese with almost no cheese and all bread. Got the 2nd grilled cheese (shown in the picture) which is no good at all. Half of the cheese was not melted all the way and the rest of it was everywhere as you can see. Not appetizing to eat at all! It was very disappointing. No one even bother to come back and check our table, for the second grilled cheese. We should have ask for refund that food. We won't ever comeback to this place. Very dissatisfying and disappointing. Management should do something about this and their crew training. read more

Hey I just wanted they are racist pricks. So my sick mom , my son and myself went through the driveway and placed an ordered for two drugs combos, 2 lemonades and a flatbread pizza. The pizza was fine but the lemonade was watered down. I was crunched for time so I let that lemonade situation go. Long story short once I got to work and ate my soup there wasn't any soup and my mom didn't have any either it was all broth maybe to scoops of meat noodles etc! I called and asked could they replace my full meal except the pizza for my inconvenience. Tedra the manager answered the phone and stated that he could only probably replace the soup and that I had already called before. Which was not true; not sure if he was stereotyping or just being pure racist. It's seemed like it was a problem so I advised him that I would call my credit card company and request full refund. The disrespect and rudeness was appalling and I'm also with lunch for the evening!! First and last visit to the place!! And I will be calling corporate. read more

Absolutely amazing. The food was yummy and the service was nice. We both got cheddar broccoli soup, which came hot and cheesy and a crunchy baguette. That itself was superb. I also got a Blood Orange Lemonade that was so good. It was not to tangy and not to sweet. Totally will be going back. read more

I'm upset that they quit serving the chili lime chicken salad. It was my fave!!! Please bring it back.

Ordered delivery this morning. They shorted us a soufflé. Apparently it was delivered by door dash, when we called the manager said, "well you don't need it today do you?" To which my wife replied.. it was my breakfast! The manager said, "well can you come get it? "... Um no, that's why we ordered delivery idiot. No apology offered, no offer to send. Manager said she would have to go back through door dash and she couldn't do that, but she will make a note to give us a free one next time we come in or order. Really? You can't at least credit my card? Nope. Think we will ever go back or order delivery again .. nope. Hope they close soon and good restaurant comes to town read more

So where do I start...let's start with the customer service.The cashier at the front had a horrible attitude, instead of saying may I help you she just stared at us with a blank look.I asked her could she explain the pick two to me because normal restaurants give you one price for any two items.rudely with a sigh she says you see where it says pick two that's the price for each item. Then she wrong all order up all wrong. I'm the type of person who first grades you for your customer service and then the food..( example as high as publix is I would rather go there than deal with Walmart customer service). This needs to be address immediately because your food is expensive and medium in taste and horrible customer service on top of that doesn't go well in gaining customers..Good luck Panera Bread in Trussville read more

My daughters love Panera Bread. I feel pretty good getting them something light and balanced. The menu is diverse and gives you lots of nutritional info to make good decisions. I am compelled to write a review of the Panera in Trussville based on the experience I had last Sunday with my daughters and my parents. We all ordered and in the chaos I forgot to place an order got my mom and when the manager overheard me, he immediately cans to my aid, asked what she wanted and went into the kitchen to prepare it quickly. He save me from disappointing my mom and added to the experience. I did not catch his name, but it made my day enough to write this review. Please visit this location as often as you can. read more

This is my second visit to this Panera Bread location. The atmosphere is relaxing, clean and a great place for a quick lunch or a sit down with friends. I got the pick two option, with loaded potato soup and the spicy thai salad. You also get the option of chips, apple or a baguette. My food arrived quickly and it was very fresh and enjoyable. The drink options are also nice, coke products, many tea options ( I like the passion green tea) with coffee options as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and experience... I will be back! read more

My favorite part about this Panera is that its so close to my office. So anytime I'm trying to avoid fast food, this is my go to for lunch or breakfast. I've never had issues with the service or the freshness of the food. I love that they have a drive thru for the times I'm in a hurry, they are always very fast and friendly. read more

I am so excited to have Panera Bread in Trussville finally. The setup is very different from any others I have been in but I really like it. We have been 4 times since opening and have used the rapid checkout 2 of those times. We really like it during busy times and will try ordering on the app next time too! The service is always excellent and they stay well stocked. Other locations are always out of my breakfast souffle by 9am but not here. The restaurant is really clean and has a good amount of seating inside and out. My husband has used the drive thru and appreciates that option when he is in a hurry. read more

Very clean and service was excellent! I was unhappy that a grilled cheese is 7.29 and a drink is 2.39. Just a thought why not add a drink into the buy 2 mix and match. read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could! I placed a mobile order for curbside pickup and was charged a dollar "convenience fee". I sat in spot #4 for 25 minutes waiting on a salad, I finally just went thro the drive thru asking if I could pick it up at the window since it had been ready since 1:14 pm. The man working gives me my order, no apologies for my wait, NOTHING. I checked to make sure it's correct and they didn't give me a fork. I went around again got a fork and suggested maybe they speed things up, no one even acknowledged their mistakes. This place is TERRIBLE! read more

I should have done this months ago but anayways...I had a mobile order and was waiting on it. Almost immediately the store manager called me and said they were out of something I ordered and apologized profusely. He offered me many different choices at no extra charge and made sure I had extra bread to compensate. When I went to pick it up, they gave me SO much food. And we're so nice. The food was delicious. read more
