Panera : perfect spot to order lunch and get quality ingredients and yummy options. I love coming here for lunch and to catch up on some work on my computer. I love how they now bring your food to your table and usually come quickly to clear your table. I usually get a soup & half sandwich which is a perfect portion for lunch. The chicken wild rice has always been my favorite. I usually do a turkey sandwich with my soup, but was looking for something different today and the greeter gave me a wonderful recommendation of the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. YUM!!!! Definitely my new favorite and I will be back for this sandwich. They also have some wonderful options of iced teas. It's fun to try the different ones! Prickly Pear Hibiscus Fresca is delicious! Never had a bad experience at Panera. read more

Here for Father's Day and the size of the steak sandwich was so small, hardly any steak and my Mac and cheese bowl had only half ( if that) a scoop in it. Very small portion. Very disappointing. read more

Tried the new Croque Monsieur Croissants toast and I am still thinking about 5 hours later. The spread they put on it was creamy Guyere cheese mixed with carmelized onions and it was ahhhhmazing. The ham and provolone filled this soft croissant sandwich. The bread is thick but soft. I always use rapid pick up which is super convenient. This restaurant is clear and signage for pick up is well marked. I will be back for this sandwich read more

I'm not sure what the issue is with this location, but the staff is very nice. However, there's dirty tables everywhere and the order is always incorrect, especially if you order it for delivery. read more

Ordered Strwaberry Poppysees Chicken Salad. There was not one piece of chicken on it. Very disappointed!!! Bread was a bit stale.

I'm a sucker for the green goddess salad at Panera, and the many drink options! The pick two is my favorite when I can't decide on something. They often make mistakes at this location and get the order wrong, but they correct it if you let them know at least. This location is quick and clean! read more

The food is amazing! The service is really fast, especially for mobile orders!! Definitely will continue to go here

What happened? This used to be a favorite morning stop. Today we were greeted by a growly woman at the counter. She chastised my husband for changing his coffee order from a large to a mug. I ordered a bagel with veggie cream cheese. The burned bagel arrived with no cream cheese; they are out of the veggie. They did substitute plain; I should have sent the bagel back. Like cardboard. Hubby ordered a ham, egg & cheese breakfast sammie. One slice of thin, cold bread with maybe an ounce of ham. Ordered an over easy egg; arrived over hard. Most tables were dirty; no excuse. They weren't at all busy. Coffee was as great as ever but the food and the service were awful. Darn it. read more

I used to love Panera, but I honestly don't think I'll be going there again without a gift card or some other way to offset the cost. I hadn't been there for awhile, but had a gift card. The prices had jumped up several dollars per item since the last time I was there, and I thought it was steep then. The food is still really good, but the prices are higher than a lot of full service restaurants for the amount of food and direct service provided. I'm sad about this because it used to be one of my favorite places, but if I'm going to spend that amount, it will be somewhere else. read more

Achoo! Excuse me. It seems every time I come to Panera, I have a cold. The wife and I love the Big Kid or Fontina grilled cheese sandwich along with some of their delicious tomato soup. Nothing warms us up better than the soup- in a bread bowl- or not. Either way, delicious. I have most recently discovered their breakfast menu and am currently going on the tour for those options. The Burnsville location has one downside and that is parking. It sucks. It's not their fault though, it's mostly the ninja mall customers parking to sneak into Dick's sporting goods. The store is always clean and the staff is always friendly. Service speeds tend to be a bit slow here so you will find yourself meandering by the fountain drink station waiting for your food. This is the case mostly with to-go orders. If you're eating in-store, they give you a buzzer to hold onto at a table of your choice. Overall it's a valid noms option if you're in the Burnsville Center area and you're trying to avoid Applebee's (as you really should). Their sandwiches are delicious, pastries are delicious and of course, their bread. Stop by for breakfast especially and some grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup if you're under the weather! read more

I never really thought to do a review of Panera since it's kind of chain that most people know about, but the other day I wondered if people knew how amazing their morning souffles were, and I thought "Hey....maybe I should write a review"? So, most people know about their bagels and their soups and sandwiches, but they also offer these amazing souffles in the morning. I only allow myself this as a treat sometimes because I have to be an adult and go to work, and when I have a harder day than usual doing that, I will head to Panera and enjoy one of their rich, strong cups of coffee and a Spinach Artichoke souffle. Sometimes I will have a 4-cheese or a ham and cheese instead since I really do like them all! It has a croissant/puff pastry-type base and sides and is filled with this lovely quiche-type filling which is creamy and flavorful...so dang delicious!! Panera also offers breakfast sandwiches, some limited bakery options, and fantastic bagels (their Asiago bagel...oh yes!). The thing I appreciate about Panera is that they will add new things to their menu to move with the times, they use really beautiful, fresh ingredients, and there is a lot of variety. For instance, the Pick Two is fantastic! It allows you to mix up soup, salads, or sandwiches in whatever combination feels right that day and it's always so fresh tasting! Their side of baguette with a little butter...and some chicken wild rice soup....amazing! If you haven't tried Panera for some reason (like maybe you are from out of state), it's a really nice, and quick option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. read more

I was so excited to have a Panera close by where I work, but this one turned out to be so disappointing! On multiple occasions, their lettuce was brown and wilted, and I found hair in my food not once, but twice. I wIll definitely never eat at this location again. I don't understand why it's so much worse than other Panera's. read more

I was unfortunately disappointed with my visit to the Burnsville Panera. I am an avid visitor and love to get their Mac and cheese. Today I was given something that resembled their signature dish, but was not the smooth, creamy white sauce. The dish was cold, clumpy cheese and I ended up throwing over half of it away. Normally I would brush this off as a one time thing, but has happened to me once before at this Panera and this location only. I would rather have gone to Target to get the Mac and cheese the in refrigerated section for a lower price than stop in today. I will still continue to visit this location while close by, but will choose another when convenient. read more

Panera used to be pretty steady on service and food. Lately I'm starting to wonder what is going on. I do a lot of business with Panera because I'm on sales and I'll probably try to move my business to Zupa's instead. They mixed my gluten free cookies in a box with gluten cookies. I brought lunch to my customer and they totally forgot part of my order. Embarrassing. I gave the customer my lunch and didn't eat. Then when I called to see if they would deliver the missing items they said no. Lastly they said they would send me a certificate for the missing food. WHAT?!? Gee thanks for sending me a certificate for the food I paid for. Apple Valley is much for steady and if I have to do Panera I'll try to pick up from there. read more

Panera Bread used to be so good! They have really gone down hill and that makes me sad, as they were a healthy alternative to fast food. Their portions are TINY. I needed to go somewhere else for dinner after here because I was not filled up, and spent way more than I wanted to for what I did get. read more

I haven't been back to Panera for a few years since the last experience when I got an itty bitty sandwich at expensive prices. Well, thought I'd try it again. This time, got a ham sandwich and guess what? Once again got an expensive sandwich with hardly any meat in it. I'll attach a picture and you can judge for yourself. I took it back up to the counter and the manager said that is the "normal" portion size, so it was made correctly. I won't be back to make the same mistake a 3rd time. read more

Panera Bread - Latest 'tiny' sandwich from Panera. Was told this is the 'standard' amount of meat so it was made correctly. - Sandwiches Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

The portion to price ratio is wildly off.. 9$ for an 11 oz orange juice and half of a breakfast sandwich. Literally 1 slice of bread cut in half, a small egg white, and maybe 1 oz of ham. Honestly, probably the correct sized portion that one should eat.. #FatAmerica read more

Essentially run by teenagers who do not seem capable of quality control. The two breads we tried were rubbery. The tomato bisque soup was oily and the wild rice soup lacked flavor. The soba didn't even taste Asian. The bathrooms were stinky. As bad as English food from previous centuries. read more

I order lunch from here just about every workday. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating (I've seen some reviews saying they aren't, I don't know what that's about because I've only had good experiences), and my orders are always ready to go within a few minutes. I've never had a problem with my food here, it's always delicious! This place is obviously well managed, staff are always so nice to me as soon as I walk in, they've really got the whole customer service thing down to a T! Only thing I could say is that, at busier times, tables tend to get a little dirty, but that's to be expected when you've got a mob of people trying to get dinner. Otherwise it's always pretty clean here! So if you're looking for a good spot to grab a bite that's got great customer service and food, this is a good stop! read more

Easily the worst customer service experience I have ever experienced...anywhere. Not a one time ordeal, but after three progressively worse lunch trips I've sworn off Panera forever. Went from small problems like not having the pre-ordered lunch ready on-time the first two times to my last ever Panera trip. I ordered lunch online early in the day because they have a cutoff time for lunch orders. As usual, when I went to pick it up, the food was nowhere near ready. After ten minutes, one manager thought she had me in a box and rudely asked "well, what time did you put the order in?" She was unprepared for me to tell her 9:45 (for a noon pickup). After another 15 minutes of her acting unprofessional in-front of staff and customers they had my food ready. They didn't charge me for the sandwiches, but they're lucky I didn't just walk out and leave them holding the sandwiches. Have not been back since, bring up this experience whenever someone mentions Panera (often I do say it's probably just the Burnsville location) and have no desire to ever go back. read more

Absolutely ass would rather die than go there again sandwiches was burnt as fuck and the cheese was green And sour to two hours to be delivered, Would not fuck recommend ever read more

If you're looking for an alternative to lettuce and other mixed greens salads, look no further than Panera's spinach and bacon salad. I tried a Pick 2 version this week and was pleasantly surprised. So, on Wednesday evening, I tried a whole spinach salad. Talk about HUGE portion, but I managed to devour it without much trouble. I was a bit apprehensive with the pickled onions at first (acid reflux with raw onion), but the pickled pink onions had no effect at all. I highly recommend this salad. And there is a generous portion of real bacon bits and fried onions. The vinaigrette dressing is just right. Yummy!! read more

Very tasty. Had the pick 2 combo and opted for the half chipotle chicken sandwich on sliced grilled French bread which was very good. Then had the chicken rice soup for the other half that was oatmeal in texture (needs more broth) and needs more flavor. Overall I will be back for sure. Has an older crowd because of the home cooking feel in their foods and probably why I am the first to post a review on yelp despite the location being here for a good 4+ years read more

I have been to this Panera Bread location a couple of times, but the last was probably two years ago. I had good service and good food when I'd been there before, so when I found myself in Burnsville around dinner time a couple weeks ago I decided to stop there with my daughter. We should have just left right away given the rude cashier we had to deal with. She seemed annoyed that we were bothering her with ordering food and informed us that they were out of bread bowls, as well as the bread that is meant to go with the chicken sandwich I ordered. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich with a cup of wild rice soup and my daughter ordered a bowl of wild rice soup with a bread side. As we waited for our food we noticed how dirty the whole place was. It looked like it had been quite a while since it had been cleaned up and surfaces wiped down. As for the food, the soup was only lukewarm and it tasted heavily of flour. There just wasn't much flavor to it. My sandwich was skimpy and looked like it had come out of a package and warmed up, like something you'd find in the frozen food section of the grocery store. While we ate our meal we had to listen to workers behind the food pick-up area argue about who had done more work on a previous shift. One worker was accusing the other of doing nothing but sitting in the office for hours with another employee during their last shift together. They bickered about this through our entire meal and were making no attempt to be quiet with their disagreement. I agree with the review on 9/23/2015 that this seems to be a place run by teenagers who not only have no idea what they are doing, but they just don't care. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Horrible delivery experience. I live about 6 minutes away from this location and my food arrived 54 minutes after the text alert informing me that my food left the cafe. Food was cold and wilted by the time it got to me. I know it's "Panera", but come on guys.... you can do better. read more

Great service and my rapid order was ready in less than 5 minutes. I screwed up my online order but the male manager fixed everything for me! read more

The old lady in the morning is just rude. So unavailable she has a attitude and talks to u in a bad manner. Get your customer service up Panera y'all on games. I will also be telling my family and friends not to go to this location. read more

Don't know why this Panera is not having a terrific rating. Food is always well prepared soups very tasty. New on our visit was the new kiosks so you can order and almost get your food by the time you sit down good stuff read more

Aside from having my cinnamon roll swiped from my table when I got up to use the bathroom, this and after many rude experiences at this Panera, I won't be back. I know an employee eager to clean my table, when I saw many other ones dirty, took my roll and probably swiped it. The crowed here is snobbish suburban trophy wives and uppity people who won't say excuse me and just bump into you and the service and atmosphere are very rushed here. What a shame about my cinnamon roll and dear little privledged white-bread upper class high schooler who just HAD to clean my table, even though you could tell, since I left my drink and receipt there, I was still dining there, you have little understanding of anything. read more

Food was fine, it's Panera, you know the deal. But this place was seriously not clean. Spilled coffee all over the beverage area, clearly dried and been there a while. Dishes piling up at the trash/return, to the point of covering the entire cupboard. Tables not wiped down. I'm hoping it's just a matter of "all of the staff just never looked out into the dining area" because the possibility of "the kitchen is just as bad" is pretty gross. We didn't really see how bad it was until we sat down, but we were there a while, in the late afternoon (not a rush) and it only got worse. I don't get it. read more

I was running in to get a couple of drinks for my pregnant wife and I while she sat in the car waiting for me to return. After waiting almost 9 minutes for my drinks, I brought them out to the car. My wife was disgusted at how runny her strawberry banana smoothie was and asking me to get her a new one. I went up the the counter where I picked up my drinks and I asked the woman manager with overly long hair that was standing on the other side for a new smoothie since mine was way too thin. She then rolled her eyes threw it away without asking if I wanted to keep both drinks. I heard her after she walked up to the girl making the drinks to make a new one and told her to spit in it since I was "being an ass" to her. I feel like I was polite enough, and that was just over the top to tell your employees to spit in my drinks. read more

Trash town! They were out of bread bowls...The chicken wild rice looked like vomit (truth without exaggeration), tasted as though it had been in the warmer for 3 days, their turkey chili was not fresh, bland color and taste...basically both had been cooled and reheated several times. And the grilled cheese! White dry bread with generic plastic yellow cheese shoved in a panini press WITHOUT BUTTER! Foul. Won't go back! read more

We love Panera Bread. Especially their half sandwich half salad combos! Why would you eat fast junk food when you can have fresh avocado sandwiches in only a fraction more of the time? read more

Yesterday I went online and created an account to place a catering order. I was looking for breakfast items and I loved that the website allowed you to choose delivery or select the store for pickup. I also loved that I could customize my bagel and cream cheese variety pack! I paid online so all I had to do was pick it up in the morning and it was ready as soon as I arrived. I came in, signed the paper and left in around two minutes total! The store was clean, the service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious! I would definitely do this experience again! I also appreciate that I get points on my MyPanera card for my catering order! read more

Really happy with my visit here. My soup in a bread bowl tasted great and I left feeling healthy. Nice environment especially for families.

Never eaten in the restaurant but I've done the rapid pickup many times looks nice in there by the Burnsville mall

The front cashier Heather was by far the best cashier I have ever experienced. I was having a down day when I went in for a bite and she cheered me up and talked to me until I was feeling better. She was very kind and warm hearted. Food was good too. read more

Nice place with plenty of seating, plus conveniently located by the Burnsville Mall. Chicken and Wild Rice soup is the best, as well as Asiago Roast Beef. I always get these as a combo. read more
