Flatbreads were really good
Fetima W.

3.5 Stars I've always enjoyed dining at Panera Bread. It's been over a year since I have eaten at Panera Bread, so I wanted to try the flatbread pizzas. We received good customer service and got our food in a reasonable amount of time. I thought the flatbreads were pretty good and my niece thoroughly enjoyed her sandwich she ordered. I of course purchased a Panera dessert for the road and it did not disappoint. Overall, everything was pretty good.

What is supposed to be a Smokey Buffalo chicken toasted baguette

Come on now, Panera.... This location could use some serious quality control in the kitchen.. I ordered take out and when I got home found my "Smokey Buffalo chicken toasted baguette" to simply be bread nearly devoid of chicken or other toppings. This is not the first time I have had poorly prepared food at this location. I always check my orders before leaving when getting take out to make sure everything is there. I guess I'll have to start checking to make sure they include the filling in the sandwich next time. Edit: After this review and filling out a survey from Panera, they reached out, were apologetic, and refunded my meal. That is very good customer service. At least know that management's head is in the right place and they are trying. Hopefully this will show in the product going forward.

Went thru drive they for my favorite things: cup of chicken noodle soup, kettle chips, & a blueberry muffin. Service was fast and the cashier was friendly. I don't have any complaints. The soup didn't seem fresh though, but I still tore it up. Guess I was just that hungry. Lol.

Plastic in my son's soup
Janice H.

It's my daughter's birthday and she wants to eat Panera bread as birthday dinner. We packed our dinner for 5 and found plastic bag in my son's cheddar broccoli soup. When I picked up in the store, I saw the countertop was messy but a plastic bag in soup is far below acceptable.

Drove through here one morning to grab a bagel before heading to the office. I was working out of town so this was right next to my hotel that I was staying at. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel. It was great and hot. I did have to wait awhile for it, and I was the only one in the drive thru, but I know the staffing shortages are real right now! No complaints for me!

Macaroni sandwich

Nice place,with a very big selections of tasty food, and desserts. and you can also order online .

Nice service but my salad is frozen..? But into my chicken Fuji apple salad and the chicken is broken solid?? Do y'all not make the salads fresh or at least make sure the chicken isn't frozen?

It was honestly so refreshing to find this healthy fast casual option on a day I needed a cleaner…read moremeal. Overall I was impressed with the variety and quality of fresh ingredients! They were in the process of training a new hire at the time, so the line took some time to move through, but I still got my food pretty quickly. I ordered the harvest crunch vegetable which had all of my favorites - the mushrooms were so flavorful and my favorite part. The only two critiques I had was that 1) I asked for half/half rice and romaine and my bowl had way too much romaine, it really overpowered all of the other ingredients that came in the bowl and 2) the tofu was not my favorite - it wasn't crispy or as flavorful as I would like it, so that's something for the plant-based community to keep in mind. That said, I imagine all of the other animal-based proteins taste better! If their tofu was improved, I would absolutely return to try some of their other unique bowl combos.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and really enjoyed it! We ordered takeout using the website and…read morethe food was prepared on time. Everything tasted very fresh! I got a wheat wrap with some steak, spinach, and mushrooms, while my wife got a mixed grain bowl with chicken and bacon. We were both very happy with our meals, and while the food wasn't cheap (about $15 a person), I didn't feel ripped off either. The website mentioned that the ingredients were high quality and that the dressings were made in house, and it definitely tasted like it! Overall, I'd definitely come back here to get a healthy meal.

I have tried the Mac & Cheese bowls, Tacos, different proteins and bases and all the sauces. I don't have a favorite, I eat whatever I feel like for that day. Definitely don't miss the chocolate chip cookies! In response to the other review, we've never had a problem with the portion size of the proteins or veggies. In fact, we find them generous and a hearty meal, including a post-workout meal on a Sunday afternoon. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out on a unique experience of flavor and an tasty alternative to the same old burger or chicken and fries.

Our whole experience here was pretty bad. We ordered drinks and tried to put lids on the cup but…read morethe lids seemed too big. I asked the cashier at the front about it and she told me that there are lids under the drink station. I guess she was too busy to get them for me and tried to make me do it? I couldn't find them so I gave up. She did eventually come out and replace the lids though but never told me that she did it. They also ran out of broccoli and had to drop some more but never told us how long it was going to take. So I was waiting for 5-10 minutes for my girlfriend's food to be ready as my food got cold. Wouldn't have been as bad but they never told us how long the wait would be and we were both getting hungry. There were also a good amount of flies in the restaurant. We tried to sit outside but there were a lot of flies there too. Instead we walked to the brewery where the flies seemed to leave us alone. My food was seasoned well enough and had a good flavor but it didn't really taste that fresh. Not sure if it was from the wait but I'm sure it didn't help. It seemed like the ingredients may have been sitting out a while. I don't think I'll be back which is unfortunate because I was excited to find a healthier fast food restaurant.

Milos Morning Bite 16.90…read more Vegetarian. Toasted focaccia, smashed avo, smashed egg, goat cheese, spring mix. The bread was really good with this slight crisp. I think the avocado and the goat cheese compliments egg really good. It could do with a little more flavor to pair with the spring mix. May introduce me to this cafe and from what I heard they are quite known for their focaccia bread. I also tried a bit of my friend French toast and it was really good but not too sweet. From the outside it looks very simple and you might catch it just passing by. This place seems to be always busy and seats fill up fast. You order at front and take a number to your table. It's is on a slightly pricier side but the quality I think it's worth it. I think I'm not sure that they make the focaccia themselves.

Overall pretty yummy. The prices are what we expected for a smaller cafe and the food was nice and…read morefresh. The crepe was warm and filling and I had enough to save some for later. The croissant sandwich was yummy but wish it had a little more bread, buttt we know some heavily prefer more filling to bread. The side salad was fresh and light and complemented the sandwich well. Also got an iced hibiscus tea which wasn't too bad but would probably save on the tea next time. A little pricey in general but not out of the regular range of a smaller cafe, and the food you get is decent size and I was definitely satisfied at the end. Nice atmosphere and ambiance with flowers and giant teddy bears decorating the inside. I did wish the wooden benches and chairs had some cushion since it seemed like a lot of customers were doing work here. The parking is a bit annoying since it is right off the road and sometimes hard to exit.

Small and very clean, almost hole in the wall kind of place in an old shopping center in a…read moreresidential neighborhood. Arabic music playing. Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

"Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

Once I walked up to the bar and requested a waiter, the waiter that helped us was nice. Started the meal off with Brixx Stixx that were definitely freshly made but a little dry and needed the marinara sauce and it was lacking flavor without the sauce. Ate the Roasted Chicken Penne which was yummy. I split this meal and was pleasantly surprised that when I mentioned the split to the waiter, the meal came to the table with presplit portions.

When they packed the wings along with the side of celery and carrots they placed the loose carrots and lettuce in the container of hot chicken so the veggies were hot when I opened the container. They used to be packed, wrapped in aluminum separately from the wings. Gets worse. When I got toward the bottom of the pile of wings one wing appeared to be shredded into strings of meat, off the bone. On top of that the reward program was changed. I think I may have lost my accumulated points, and no one asked about scanning the code from my app so I did not get credit for tonight's meal. Overall very disappointing.
