Panera food usually always tastes the same however this location was out of onions for my Mediterranean sandwich. I ordered the autumn squash soup and harvest salad. Staff were kind and patient while ordering. Clean atmosphere and not too busy which was nice to be able to find a table. read more

Won't complain about customer service, it wasn't anything special, but it was ok. When did three half sandwiches and 1/2 three Mac and cheeses and two drinks start costing $58. Too much bread and not enough meat in between. The Mac and cheese wasn't anything special. Each sandwich was just blah. read more

I come here often and I'm always very disappointed in the way the employees communicate and the frequency of them being out of menu items. They are borderline rude, don't seem to be happy working there and rarely apologize for being out of things, which is very common. The food is usually good, which keeps me coming back, but they have very few employees that use common courtesy. I'm often made to feel like I'm bothering them. Hope you can work on that Panera on 76 in Branson. read more

Stood in line for 20 minutes just for them to say they stop serving breakfast at 11 am. When we asked if there was any way to order since we were already in line the person taking our order rolled her eyes went to her manager then came back saying they were out of eggs. The fact that this is in a tourist area the service was very disappointing. read more

Brand new panera, very clean. Like the order yourself option from the ipad - was very convenient to use. Quick and quality service. Good food. Pretty standard Panera bread. read more

Panera Bread - butternut squash soup and greek salad - A meal consisting of a bowl of butternut squash soup garnished with pumpkin seeds, a Greek salad with feta cheese, sliced red onions, black olives, and a green pepper, served with a piece of bread on a tray. The soup appears smooth and vibrant orange, while the salad contains fresh greens and toppings. The bread is partially visible, placed beside the soup and salad. - Salad Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Had never been to Panera bread before and was looking for something different than the standard fast food. Enjoyed the food and the place was clean and the staff was friendly. We'll go back again read more

Ordered breakfast on mobile app. Food was good. Our lattes were cold. The young lady at the drive thru tried to make our drinks again. Steamer wasn't working. Felt sorry for her. Definitely not her fault. read more

Never have I ever sat in a drive thru for ten minutes just to order. Then told "we're filling a sport order so it may be a minute." Sounds like poor planning to me. Don't offer a drive through if it's going to be thirty minutes to get our food. In all my life I've never waited in a drive through so long. I would have canceled the order but the woman never came back to the window. Just shut down the drive thru. There are so many options on how this could have been handled better than just apologizing and doing nothing. read more

Terrible food management and preparedness. The employees need to be better trained and communicate with each other. I ordered a Mediterranean Bowl with chicken. When I went to the window to pick it up, I was told they are out of the tzatziki sauce. They did not communicate that with me before making my my bowl. He offered me the bowl and asked if there was another dressing I would like in its place. I requested the dressing for the southwest bowl. After a minute or two he came back and said sorry we're out of that one as well. I asked for a regular Italian dressing as a substitute and went to eat my bowl. And then realized they had left also out the hummus, so I went back and said may I have the hummus that goes on the bowl, and he said I thought I put that on there. I started eating my bowl and realized the chicken had also been left off. At this point, it was not worth going up again. There is no excuse for leaving 3 items off an order. The very polite young lady, who took my order, should have been updated by her manager and kitchen staff of the shortages of dressing. I ordered at 9:30 am. That was ample time for that to be made known when customers are placing orders. read more

Slowest drive thru I have ever been to. Literally. Nobody in line both times I have come & both times it takes 20+ minutes. Never again

So actually got on here because it took so long for me to get my food. But honestly, there are two girls cooking as I saw seven orders up on the screen moving as fast as I can I watched the manager (older heavy female) come to the kitchen to grab herself a drink and go back to the office instead of helping out. And then as I go to leave, I see that manager one of the employees at the register asked for change for a guest and she basically said no, and went to the bathroom. Definitely need a new manager on site! read more

Stop asking for tips! This is a fair review after our family eating there yesterday. This is one of my wife's favorite places, so we go when we are around one. We would all say that the food was pretty *delicious*. And the portion sizes were also very adequate. I did take off 3 s because: 1. They charged $5.79 for a fountain drink for a 30oz cup. 2. They also ask for a tip when there is no tipable work being done. We came to get all of our food. We got our own drinks. We also took time to sort our dishes and trash (about 3 minutes extra). Also, the ordering process was confusing as extra items were added without us saying so. read more

Really good Panera. My bread was very nicely toasted for the steak and cheddar that was very good. It was worth the wait. The soup was served piping hot. Our food took longer to arrive, however it was much better than the faster Panera's we are accustomed to. Friendly service. Only disappointment, they were out of coffee and squeeze yogurt. read more

Stopped by to get my dad some food. He said it was pretty good. Service through the drive thru was a little slow but nothing too bad. Great location overall. I'd go back for myself if I had time this week. read more

My wife and I went into Panera Bread today just to try their advertised new Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Bowl. Well we were greeted by a young lady who's badge said she was a Manager. When we ordered the two bowls we were told they were out of rice. It is so sad and frustrating these days to go to a chain restaurant to be told they are out of food. Really, isn't it a Managers job to assure that they have rice for their rice bowls? And the person did not even seem to care. We told her we would eat at some other Restaurant and she just said OK. She was a Manager who did not care. Treat it like you own it. read more

I placed an order on Panera's app for delivery.. it said the food would take just over an hour to come. 45 minutes later I missed a call from a Door Dash driver asking what kind of bagel we wanted because the one we ordered was no longer available.. when I didn't answer or call back (I don't answer obscure, out of state numbers) they canceled my order. I received an email from Panera... they said they refunded my order in this email. Feeling oh so hungry and with disappointed kiddos, I replaced the order for pick up.. My friend picked it up for us because he was already driving my by Panera and coming here to fix my sink tonight. They left out a drink, a turkey sandwich, and a large mac n cheese. And all of the food was cold. Literally cold soups, cold everything. I noticed along the way that my $76.25 was not refunded but instead, double charged. So I paid $152.50 for nothing.. I called Panera and they said DoorDash had to refund, I called DoorDash and they said Panera had to refund (keep in mind the charges are from Panera on my acct). So I called Panera corporate and they said they'd escalate the issue, but I've not received any type of refund. So when we found the missing meals, I called again.. and they were unbelievably rude. The manager asked for my card number to refund the 2 items, apparently the rest of our meal being cold and terrible didn't matter to them. Or the fact that I had now spent upwards of $200 for some cold soup, sandwiches and a cookie.. You can't make this stuff up. So I read my card #, then another person came on unannounced and said "ma'am, your card number"... I said "I just read it to you", she said "no that was my manager and she had to go". HUH? We will not be going to our local Panera again. This is not the first time things have been missing or unacceptable.. but my patience has run out. *I didn't want to review because companies have a way of demonizing customers with bad experiences, but my kids insisted saying something was the right thing to do.* read more

Food is okay. We Ordered lunch online and it was quick and easy to order Online but food was just okay. Not bad not great just okay. read more

2 hairs in my salad. Forgot my apple. Tea was basically water. My friend got cold soup with odd things floating in it. Brownie was the only good thing. read more

I ordered a bagel...they didn't slice it or warm it or anything ...just threw it in the bag

My husband and I went out for date night, and we had a very good time. We shared a pic two where I got a roasted turkey and avocado BLT and he got the mac & cheese with bacon. Both were absolutely delicious and the service was very pleasant! The cappuccino was really good as well! On a sidenote, Apple Pay worked great for me while I was there, so if you're into that you shouldn't have a problem. The only complaint I have is that the parking lot is way too dark at night. At least, it was when we went. read more

Very crowded, but it was lunch hour. Had the chicken pepperoni melt. , Very filling. My wife ordered the teriyaki broccoli, chicken bowl, but they were out evidently it was a very popular choice. read more

To start off, I love and always have enjoyed Panera when I go. This time was a bit different. Me and my family decided to come here for lunch on our Branson trip. One of us ordered a bagel with cream cheese, when it came out it was not cut or toasted like we expected. When we brought it up to the counter and asked them if we could have it cut and toasted they said to cut it ourselves and warm it up in the microwave. I have never gotten told to do that at a Panera, meanwhile they had a bagel slicer right behind them! Also, most the tables weren't clean, a employee drug a trash bag across the floor that left a trail of trash juice across the floor and didn't clean it up. The bathrooms weren't very clean either. This was just disappointing for a Panera, I've always had a good experience at Panera in my hometown. For the food, I ordered mine to-go and they didn't add napkins or silverware. The rest of the food wasn't bad. read more

This is an above average Panera Bread. It's spacious, clean, and they even had a Mickey Mouse mascot in the corner. Reasonable coffee as well. read more

Up until today we have had a good experience at this location. No so this time. We arrived at about 6:15 pm and it was somewhat busy. We only had to wait a few minutes which was no problem. My wife and I ordered soup, I usually get an apple but she gets bread for her soup. We were told they were out. How can a company with bread in their name be out of bread so early in the evening. I asked if she could have a slice of bread instead but was told they were too busy to give her one. We almost cancelled the order but decide to wait anyway. I handled the bread situation by buying a bagel to have with the soup. Our soup was brought to our table in 35 minutes, but at least it was fairly hot. We probably won't be back, at least in the evening. read more

This is a good place to eat I got a HUGE pizza a whole one! This place is ok but the cookies YUMMY

Grumpy, grumpy and grumpy work here. Very rude workers today. One even walked right into me and didn't say a word. Grumpy. Carryout was fine, but tomato soup did not have the advertised focaccia croutons. By the way, no one wears a mask so mask up when going in. read more

This is the worst managed Panera ever. Out of Turkey, cheese and other stuff. One person, who has know idea how to, taking orders. Its nuts. read more

Worst Panera ever! Ordered online and it wasn't ready, that's the least of the issues. My daughter asked twice if there was ranch and crackers in the bag and the girl assured there was... nope. My son was sick back in the room and needed the crackers. We also ordered 2 cups of soup. The grilled cheese I ordered for my sick son was inedible - tiny and burnt for $6.00. Ridiculous. Avocado gross and bacon tasted old. Just go to Subway. It's cheaper and sadly, better. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Enjoyed. Friendly atmosphere.. good & generally healthy choice food. Convenient locations.

Rather disappointed in our Rapid Pick-up today at Panera in Branson. As a Panera regular, I have come to expect an experience from my favorite locations. This one was sorely lacking. The large order (almost $50) was placed via the app and ready upon pickup. The Lentil Quinoa bowl was barely half full. For over $9, this is unacceptable. The chicken noodle soup had about 5 noodles and no chicken. The salads were maybe half full on their take out boxes. The sandwiches were thrown together. I was quite literally shocked because I've never had this kind of food delivery from Panera. Will be writing to corporate about the experience too. read more

Pretty disappointed in the quality of service for this location. The cashier was not friendly and acted like we were an inconvenience. The latte machine was broken and therefore could not order the coffee we wanted. There were no napkins to be found, tables were dirty throughout the dining room. We asked for our order to go and they brought it out on a plate. All of that after we stood in line for 15 mins just to order. They were obviously under staffed. read more

YELP for Panera would not let me post this review without 1 star Actually we give this Panera a Negative 5 stars DON'T SHOP HERE This Panera bread in Branson, Mo. just off of Hwy "76" - has the very worst service of any Panera from Calif to Arkansas and Missouri. We shopped for sourdough bread at Panera for many years. Using the Panera app. we ordered Sourdough bread and 2 sesame bagels and paid for it in the app yesterday 7/11/21. We drove 1.5 hrs to get to Branson today. When we went in to get our order after the appointed time, we were told, "We don't have it." This is the same answer by the clerk and manager at 4:10 pm on 7/12/21. The clerk even remembers seeing our app order earlier in the day. There were no phone calls to us the customer; no excuses at all. They had sold their supply without regard to a prior Panera app order that had been paid for order from the day before. And, they never cared to call the customer whose bread they sold. They never offered to check any other Panera to ship it to us. The management here is l o u s y and shows extremely unprofessional conduct. We will have to write to Panera's CEO: Niren Chaudry in St. Louis, Missouri Very Disappointed Customers, John and kathy Armington Attorney and Judge, retired read more

The location was out of numerous items, had to wait a very long time for food and was told by the employee that she would not be bussing our tables and to do it ourselves. Do not recommend. read more

I have visited this location several times, and I have always been greeted with a warm smile and friendly customer service by the employees. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast and quality, and the environment is welcoming. There are several instances where friends and I have been here doing homework, and we stay 15 til closing time. We have never been rushed out. read more

My husband an I went to this site in Branson, MO on January26 and got lunch.We waited 10 min by a register to order lunch with 5 employees standing near us and talking.

Terrible service! !!!! read more
