Panera Bread is my choice for healthy fast food. My dinner was tomato soup and Greek salad. Both were good and served promptly. Actually was here for early dinner (5:00PM) and it was not too busy. Have found Panera can be very busy at lunch time. Pro trick: Order on-line or with the app and you can sit back and relax until your order is ready. Others mentioned waiting in line to order their food. Drive thru is available too. Good health score. Lots of free parking. Conveniently located in Cartersville. We hiked Red Top Mountain State Park (highly recommended) and stopped at this Panera Bread after our hike. Will return. read more

You can't go wrong eating at Panera bread. Eat here often and I tried the new toasted italiano sandwich so good and a lot to eat. Broccoli and cheddar soup is my favorite. There's not much to say about their tea I got half unsweet and half sweet it all taste like water down. read more

Really bad and disappointing. The bread was so hard my jaw and teeth hurt :( I got the green goddess salad which I used to love but it was all chunky white bits of lettuce mixed in with brown spotted lettuce and I understand lettuce can be hard to keep fresh sometimes but it was like half the salad and it happens every time I come. Not to mention it was extremely flavorless. I was hoping the bread would at least be good but it was so hard. I got the pick two and paid $19.45 and I wished I had asked for a refund or something. I feel kinda ripped off :( read more

Great Panera Bread! The employees are always happy to serve you and my order is always accurate.

I have been by there multiple times between the hours of 2-5pm and they have so very few bagels left that I have to walk out empty handed. Definitely, they never have any plain bagels left, which I would think would be a big sign that they need to have more available if they're not going to make them throughout the day.. Which makes me wonder if these are not frozen bagels to start with.. anyway, once again today I go in to the store around 2 o'clock and I don't think I even counted 12 bagels left, and there was no sign of any more bagels being made. Nor any mention of it from the register operator just sorry, no plain bagels.This is all we have left!! They are open until 9 PM.! And they're already out of bagels every day mid day!!. I'm not sure what you do with the rest of the day, but I went elsewhere to get bagels. I'm trying out new places at this point because this is pretty consistent with this location. read more

Had a Tomato Mozzarella Flatbread and it was amazing. The bread was light, easy to eat, large for one person and very tasty. I was very surprised. Enjoyed the espresso as well. Did not know that they served "good" coffee. One of my friends had half a sandwich and Tomato Basil Soup, one had Soup and the third one had Mediterranean Grain Bowl with Chicken. Everyone was happy with their meals and I am convinced that what ever I will order next time will be great. Restaurant was clean and service was great. Staff wore masks and plastic gloves. I will go back. read more

Panera is the place you go if you want fast food, but not fast food, ya know? Every single thing on the menu is super solid. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast you have your pick of bagels, pastries, quiche and smoothies. If you go the bagel route I'd recommend trying it bread sliced to get your selected topping in every bite (you can thank me later). As far as lunch and dinner fare, they are known for their broccoli cheddar soup which I ordered today and came out hot and delicious. I got the Greek salad as well and it was also good. Their Mac and cheese is to die for and their selection of sandwiches always pleases. They are very quick and this one has a drive thru which is a plus. The only reason I gave it three stars is that the person in the window handling and bagging food had her mask on but NOT covering her nose. Everyone around her had their masks properly covering their mouth and nose, but literally the one person bagging it all, handing it to you etc. wasnt, which was pretty disappointing. I know it's not ideal and annoying but it's just so so important we all do our part. read more

Paid too much for this it had 4 pieces of chicken 5 tomatoes globs of hot sauce..hard as a rock and over half has nothing on it just hard dry bread. read more

I'm updating my review because today's experience was the exact opposite of my last experience. My bread was soft and it was just right. I got the Mediterranean grain bowl and it was really generous and very good. The place is very clean and it was decorated really nicely for Christmas. read more

So we have sworn off Panera twice before due to bad food or wrong orders multiple times. We hadn't been here for about 2 years and decided to see if things had changed....they have not. Service is horrible, 75% chance your order will be wrong and when they do get it wrong and take it back they don't let you know it is ready. Now you have the correct order but cold. Staff seems like nobody could give less of a shit if lives depended on it. This used to be a place we came to every weekend years ago. Not sure what happened.....but it sucks. Go somewhere else. By the way....sign says if we get your order wrong you get a treat. I guess our treat was a cold sandwich. read more

Not often do I write a review. However I can't let this one go. I ordered from here less than 2 hrs ago. I ordered the pick 2 with half green goddess cob salad with chicken. The half salad was $7.50. I got it home, at the bottom of the container more than half the greens in the salad was old & wilted, chicken was gray in color. It was either eat it and risk getting sick or ... yeah no! I threw the whole thing out. So sad management isn't managing and allowed spoiled food to be sold. I've eaten Panera Bread at other locations, I suggest save your money and frustrations and go try a different location read more

Food is always as good as other Paneras the only issue I have here is the service. The kitchen will not talk to you unless you happen to catch their attention. Many times they plop the food down say nothing and walk off. At times I might have some issues or need something else and they just look at me and fix it. I don't ask for much but after looking at the reviews here I think sometimes being friendly might stop all the negative comments. I like panera and will always return read more

Not sure what all the rage is about Panera? So the bagels are solid, but they never toast them completely, the pastries are average at best and if I was to choose a better one it would be the chocolate croissant, stay away from the cinnamon rolls as they are always a big block of hard tasteless nothing! Finally back on yelp due to my last visit ever here! Came in for some lunch and ordered the steak/ cheddar sandwich as they have it one the menu and mind you it's not cheap... I've never paid so much for a sandwich with a heaping pile of pickled onions and BEEF FAT! Absolutely disgusting!!!! A company that prides themselves as being green and pure is a scam to extremely over charge you for a plate of crap! From the weird smell once you open the front door to the again over priced crap on your plate... just save your money! read more

Always check and verify your order before you leave drive through. Not pleased with quality of service. More than often than not they forget sandwiches and add ons. Constantly short orders. read more

I'll get right to the point....good food. Especially if you want to eat healthy, you can do it here. My only complaint is that the tables are sticky...like they've never been cleaned. Yuk. Other than that...this would be at least 4 stars. read more

I went through the drive thru tonight. I immediately noticed that my husband's flatbread was missing, and had to turn around and go inside to ask for it. Then, when I got home I realized BOTH my soup and sandwich were not what I ordered (I'm allergic to the sandwich they gave me). I am so upset by the quality of service and the fact that I am starving and can't eat the dinner I was craving and spent almost $40 on. Absolutely horrible experience. read more

Ryan the manager is very racist towards me he made me wear a mask even though I have a medical condition and told me other wise to leave so I complied with the mask so I could eat and shortly after multiple people came in without mask and was served when I asked Ryan about it I was told to leave. Also my pizza wasn't good at all but more concerned with the manager and his decision making on choosing who wears mask also I asked for a grievance paper and was told he wasn't giving me one. So over all food is not good and the staff is worse wouldn't send my worse Enemy there. Very disappointed!! read more

I have always loved Panera Bread for the great food and service but last night they went above and beyond again. I went to the drive thru at lunchtime for my favorite steak and arugula sandwich and the broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl. I got home and much sadness when I realized they forgot the bread bowl. Had to get back to work so just ate the sandwich and intended to go after work to see if I could get the bread bowl. The kind girl and guy at the counter apologized several times and said sadly they were out of bread bowls by then, but that they had one more loaf of the sour dough bread, which is what they make the bread bowls with. I agreed to that and they asked if they could slice it for me and if I preferred thick or thin slices, then asked what soup I was getting and gave me a free bowl of it with a free chocolate chip cookie! I was more than blown away by their kindness and numerous apologies and the generous offer of the foods that I loved so much. Plus the fact that they could make things right and not have to go through a bunch of red tape or five layers of management like most companies do. This type of service is very hard to find nowadays and is very much appreciated more than they know - please keep it up! read more

Shame Shame Shame! Three times they have run out of Cinnamon Crunch Bagels. Last week we were told our bagel was ready and when picking up the order was asked to order a different bagel. No reply to our email when we pointed out the miscue. read more

We came here for breakfast and it was fantastic! We were on the way to Starbucks after getting disappointed with our hotel "hot breakfast" and saw Panera on the way and decided to go there instead. It was the right decision! This Panera even has a drive thru! We ordered coffee and coffee latte both of which were great! And turkey avocado BLT sandwich with half Green Goddess salad. They were able to customize it to our liking (no bacon). The food was delicious! The service was great and the facilities super clean and inviting. Great place for off the highway (75 and 113) travelers! read more

I was very shocked to see that Panera has changed its opening time in the mornings. I used to pick up items to take to the office at 6 am as advertised on Yelp. Now it opens at 7.. Lost a customer. read more

The food is good but way too expensive. I went there with my wife and we each had a sandwich which comes with a bag of chips, an apple or a piece of bread, and 2 drinks and it was like $30 or more, I cant recall. The food was good but damn! To be clear we both enjoyed our food but this is just not a good value. I imagine this place may appeal to people who love starbucks and pay $7 for a coffee. read more

I thought this panera was really nice. I went through the drive through, which was a bonus in itself. I was surprised to find out that you could order anything from the drive through such as their soups, etc. The kid in the window was very friendly, Jonathan I believe. He made our first experience at this Panera amazing. He was very sweet and welcoming. I got the turkey and cheese sandwich with mac and cheese on the side and a smoothie. Everything was hot and delicious. My only issue was minor- when I asked for change so I could tip he forgot one of my ones. Not a big deal, especially since they are so new, just make sure everything is right and they'll take care of it for you :) they were very courteous and because of that, I'll return over and over again! read more

Love panera bread in cartersville great employees and service. Awesome food. Had the chicken panini and it was wonderful.

This place is way too expensive. My husband and I got half soup/ half sandwhich meals. It was about $30! And my sandwhich was not much bigger than a mcnugget! read more

This location has terrible service. We visit often (because it's the only one in town) and the food is very good. However, 80% of the time the order is wrong, missing an item or takes forever. read more

One person working front on a Monday morning! Staff came to help but took people out of order someone in management type uniform extremely rude when ask how to get help for food! Just picking up premade items such as cinnamon rolls took over 20mins! read more

Ordered a pick 2 meal - should have been around $12 - when I received the receipt via email I was charged $15. I was still in the restaurant and walked up to speak with the manager who simply wanted to tell me that I ordered wrong - fact remains still got 1/2 sandwich and a 1/2 salad (same as a pick 2). Not worth arguing, but not a good look read more

Today we got Panera drive through around 7 PM. First, we were at the window waiting for 20 minutes until we actually got our food. Then a worker handed us our drinks, and ten minutes later another worker tried handing us the same drinks again as if they had forgotten we already got them. Next, the worker at the window was short with us. We finally got our food, and we both ordered baguettes as our sides and they just tossed them into the bag and our bread was just sitting open at the bottom of the bag unwrapped. Next, I had ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and what I got was two pieces of bread. I had to pull the sandwich apart to find the tiny amount of cheese they actually put on it. Lastly, they gave us the wrong pastry. I have never been that upset to write a review on anything but this was different. Very disappointed with the Panera drive through and will not visit again. read more

Tortellini wasn't very fresh. Chicken was chunked largely on top. I wouldn't order pasta again. Family said Broccoli Cheese Soup was great Brownie was hard. I've heard it said not to order dishes that aren't trademark and I believe e that to be true...especially after this pasta dish. Stick to soup and sandwiches. read more
