This is by far my favorite Panera in the Charleston area. Their breakfast sandwiches beat the ashley phosphate location hands down (APhos has a funny definition of 'toast') and they are generous with the ingredients. Customer service is where they really shine. Especially Brendan, who goes above and beyond every day! read more

Not impressed but not overly disappointed, had the Broccoli and cheese soup with chips because they had no baguette bread. Never had that happen before and was really looking forward to it. read more

The past three times we have been there the service has been terrible, they are usually out of half of the menu, and the quality of the food has not been good. We ordered a chicken sandwich and there were two very small pieces of chicken on the entire sandwich. I never leave reviews but this place has got to change, or go. I hope they can improve! read more

Limited selection of sandwiches, if you can't even get ham then what's the point? If I'm going to pay for a sandwich it's not going to be grilled cheese or Mac and cheese. read more

I usually love the fresh menu items at Panera but unfortunately today I couldn't enjoy a breakfast sandwich because the cashier did not know how to ring it in. It should not take a cashier 5 minutes to ring in one breakfast sandwich ever. Whether this is an issue with lack of training or lack of management presence it needs to be corrected. Most people who go to Panera in the mornings have to be at work and choose to quickly pick something up on the way. Timeliness is key for a restaurant offering breakfast options. read more

I have been here many times on weekdays, but rarely on a weekend. Service is not nearly what I was expecting. Order takers totally oblivious to customers standing in front of them. They're not rude, just not interested. I was never asked if I had a loyalty card, and had to suggest entering my phone number for the credit. If I was a first timer at Panera, I would not return. But I know each location is slightly different so will simply delete this one from future weekend breakfast plans. The seating area is in need of a good cleaning, and our first booth choice was unusable due to cushions falling out. The Panera in Columbia near Ft. Jackson is about the same. Maybe a management issue? The food was good, which earned two stars. The staff attitude and general cleanliness would have been one star at best. read more

This Panera Bread is located right by the Tanger Outlet. I needed a quick breakfast, so stopped by and had a bagel. I wanted it toasted, but it almost tasted like it wasn't. Coffee here is very good. They also have tons of seating. read more

I scheduled last week to have 20 box lunches delivered to my office today. I asked for my lunches to be delivered between 11-11:15. They arrived at 10:45. 2 peoples lunches were missing. Had to call back just to find out although this is the location I ordered from, catering comes from their Calhoun location? Had to describe the delivery guy for whatever reason. They finally stated they'd get the 1 lunches to us. Around 12:45 we finally received the missing lunches, an apology and a $3 off coupon for the next visit ‍ Then, I personally opened my lunch box to find a turkey sandwich that was soggy and when I took the sandwich apart discovered my turkey was white on the way she's but pink in the center. Needless to say, I did not eat it. Overall, we spent over $300 lunch and their way of fixing the overall issue was to show up late with more food and give us a $3 off coupon. NOT IMPRESSED read more

What used to be my favorite place to grab lunch is now my least favorite. I get it that the Pandemic has been rough on the food and bev industry but atleast try to make things correctly. Their portions have become smaller but prices have increased. I ordered the You pick 2- what I've always done. I got the half chipotle chicken avocado melt but it lacked some of the ingredients. With it I got the Green Goddess Cob salad with chicken. The lettuce was wilted and turning brown. There were no pickled red onions. I ordered extra goddess dressing and I got 2 cups that were barely filled with dressing . No more Panera. It's not worth the price. read more

Most disgusting Panera. Dirty windows and staff is utterly rude and unhelpful... feel like they are doing me a favor with their rude attitude and actually annoyed at me for asking for things on the menu and saying they don't have them out of spite. Am sure Panera is unaware of this shitty location. read more

You can't go wrong with Panera! This location has to be one of my favorites. I don't usually eat lunch in the facility itself as it is small and quite cramped, but I do love going here. I usually call ahead to place my order, so I don't have to wait in the long line to order and then wait for my food. The staff is super friendly and always fun to talk to. I usually go on the website to figure out what I'd like as well as to check out the interactive nutrition calculator. I love that I can customize my own meal, which is super helpful. I would recommend this location for breakfast, lunch or dinner- as all of their menu options are delicious. read more

I love all things Panera and never miss an opportunity to grab a fast, clean and delicious breakfast or lunch when I'm in West Ashley, or North Charleston. So, this morning, before hitting a few stores at Tanger, I stopped at Panera Bread on International Boulevard for my favorite breakfast sandwich ... the ham and cheese power. I placed my order with an associate at the point of sale and within two minutes my sandwich was ready ... two slices of perfectly toasted, yet chewy, whole wheat bread, a fresh cracked egg (yolk still soft) a slice of lean ham and slice of cheddar cheese. OK, it's nothing out of the ordinary ... but, it was, and is, always delicious. I washed it down with a piping hot cup of freshly brewed hazelnut coffee ... and I was good to go. How I wish Mount Pleasant would get a Panera Bread of its own. read more

They still are exceptionally a delicious place to eat or dine in and the types of food they have never let's you down most recently I have become a rewards member because I really enjoy there food and they even have healthy choices like thier green goddess salad which is remarkably delicious and those almond cookies they are alittle pricey and I remember taking my mother whos now deceased to Panera bread and she thought they were expensive you couldn't get alot of food from the $10 giftcard I got her but I still feel its worth buying thier food as a treat sometimes. I especially like their smoothies you can tell they put effort into each flavor that they make. Even thru all this crazy cov-19 they still treat there customers with respect and I will definitely continue to eat Panera bread foods whenever I am on the go with work, or out of town and need a quick bite to eat. read more

This Panera is in a popular location, which makes it pretty busy during normal lunch hours, but they are usually able to get through a line fairly quickly. If you catch it on a day that the Airforce guys decide to eat there, seating can be tight. The seating area is large and offers a back corner nook with seating and dual occupancy booths for those looking to get away from the noise. Food is served in an efficient amount of time, even during peak hours, and is always delicious. I'm not sure why, but this seems to be a really popular hangout for college study groups, which is cool if you like to make fun of of ditsy college girls while eating your sandwich. read more

So first I only get sweets from here don't ask why it just calls my name when I walk through the front door. They have all the muffins, cookies, rolls etc all behind a glass case you have to walk in order to get to the register (I smell a set up lol) well they get me everythime. Today I had a pecan roll and I must say it was delicious read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston, SC was the worst Panera we have been to! We frequent Panera in Illinois. Our tuna salad was Very Skimpy!. Team lead who was at the register taking our order wasn't sure if they served Coke or Pepsi. read more

Ownership should be ashamed of themselves. Letting this place die a slow death is not cool. Panera has a great thing if it's executed correctly. read more

How hard is it to let a customer know you need to step away from the register to walk around in circles and pretend like you're doing something? Apparently as hard as it is to make a drink correctly. Absolutely no form of communication from the cashiers. The walking dead would provide better service. I'd give 0 stars, but alas it's not possible. At least the the drink came out fast, albeit it was the wrong one and I didn't find out until getting back to the office. Also ordered a muffin. It was soggy and overly sweet. Prison cafeteria food and service is better. Waste of money. Never again. read more

Food never disappoints no matter if I'm in Queens, the city or Charleston, I can always depend on Panera to give me great service while also being confident that the food will be fresh and delicious. We had the Tomato soup with Caprese sandwich, both were nice and warm on a chilly day and dipping the sandwich set the flavor profile on 10. read more

I go to Panera very early (before 7) on my way to work. Nothing special about this location - no one ever says anything when I go in after ordering through the app using rapid pickup. The first time I used it, my order wasn't ready, I had to stand in line, and when I asked about it the girl looked confused and asked me for my name. I guess they didn't check those tickets because it wasn't ready yet. I'll stop here if it's convenient but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at this location. read more

We had such a good experience in Rock Hill we decided to pick up coffee for our meeting here (called in order the day before). It was not ready. It took forever. Got the same egg and ham sandwich we got in rock hill. The egg was horrible. This place was a massive fail. read more

Awful. Just awful!! This is my 3rd visit in the past year and each time, the food is terrible and the service even worse. The squash soup tastes like flavorless mush. The French onion soup is lacking cheese and the croutons are gross. The turkey BLT was basically lettuce and thinly cut tomatoes messily thrown onto white bread. The turkey was tiny hacked up pieces (looked more like chicken salad) that fell out when I bit into the sandwich. There was one undercooked strip of bacon and a quarter size piece of avocado. For $6 for a gourmet HALF sandwich, this is stupid. I can go across the parking lot and get a giant delicious sub for the same price. Also, what happened to the pickle spear that use to come with sandwiches?! Let's talk about the unclean drink station(s). First, why the heck is the hot coffee not back with the soda drinks? But they leave a tiny carafe of cold coffee by the soda. When I ordered coffee, I didn't see the wall of hot coffee tucked away by the front entrance and ended up with gross cold coffee. It wasn't until I asked for a lid that the employee rudely pointed me to the hot coffee. The hot coffee area is also where people stand in line to place a food order so forget social distancing. This place sucks! Never again. I'll spend my $16 on real, hearty food elsewhere. read more

Horrendous. We placed a Rapid pickup order that was 45 minutes late. There were at least 10 other people just waiting on orders. The employees were slow and didn't seem to care about the delays at all. I tried to cancel my order and couldn't. What a terrible experience. read more

Location wasn't bad good customer service. Four stars because I had to go ask for a fork after being given my food. It wasn't just me so clearly the kitchen wasn't paying attention because they were not busy. Hubby was missing a dish after we order, but they gave it for free after he mentioned he didn't get it. read more

Usually I love Panera. It had been a while since we've been to this location. When we walked in and the place had trash on the ground everywhere. Tables weren't cleaned. I could understand a little bit if the place was packed, but there was only about 5 people there. Anyway, so we order and the girl knows nothing about the menu and is questioning items we are saying, making it really confusing. We order a Mac and cheese, and she ends up accidentally ringing up a group Mac and cheese making the order $70. Already charged our card so they had to refund it. If I could rate this a 0, I would. read more

I had the worst steak and white cheddar panini. The beef tasted like it been microwaved, had barely any cheddar and none of the horseradish sauce that comes on that sandwich. The bread was so hard I could barely bite through. It was toasted but also felt very stale. Same for the baguette side I got, so stale on both cut sides. Terrible. The grilled cheese was so hard my son couldn't bite into it. Had to knife and fork a grilled cheese. read more

Service unprofessional. Children running the restaurant at night. Coworkers criticizing one another in front of guests. The help was kind but needs training on how not to speak in front of guests at the register. Pick up area personnel was kind and quick to deliver. read more

The turkey , avacado, bacon was a good sandwich got half before flying out of town it was just right . The facility was appropriately devoted with plenty of seating . The staff was pleasant as well . Lots of back noises so it was a little hard to hear the clerk . Bathrooms were icky .. only down side .. they advertise their food is clean they may want to also work on the bathroom read more

I absolutely LOVE Panera. Just not this one. Maybe I could love it if the salads weren't wilted and the tea fresh. Maybe I'd like it a little more if the Chicken Noodle Soup didn't taste as though someone left their dirty socks soaking in the bottom of the pot. Even their cinnamon rolls made me want to cry. I think I cut my mouth on it, it was so hard and dry. We've gone multiple times, and it's almost always the same amount of horrible. The pros? Coffee is generally good. Bathrooms are clean. Lots of seating, including a part that's fairly closed off from the rest of the restaurant -- meaning I can feed my son without people staring at my b@@bs. read more

Great place to go for lunch. Had the Turkey Bravo on tomato basil bread which is so soft and good. Don't forget that broccoli and cheese soup which is delicious & the fact that I love cheese make it 100% better. I ordered water because I don't drink soda like that. Since it was a business lunch we ate in and I end up getting the tea, don't remember the name of it but it was orange with carrot turmeric and lemon I believe. Would that be considered stealing I hope not I just had a little. Love Panera will be back. read more

Panera Bread - Turkey bravo with broccoli cheese soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I officially give up on this Panera. The only reason I gave it 2 instead of 1 star is because the service is fast. It may be fast because they don't fully prepare your meal though... I ordered a half and half (which is way over priced) over $13 with a water. My salad was not bad though it looked nothing like the picture what so ever. The sand which was my usual, roasted chicken and avocado blt. Correct me if I'm wrong but bacon is supposed to come out hot right? This sandwich was cold and the bacon was obviously pre cooked (no big deal) and cold/greasy. The sourdough bread was flimsy even on the outer crust which is supposed to be firm and have a crunch. This is the second time I've come here and has less than par food. Disappointing when Panera has been my favorite chain restaurant for years... read more

Panera Bread - Cold ingested bacon that was on my chicken avocado but. Disgusting! - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The Broccoli Cheese soup is the best! The Chicken noodle soup is good, too. I had half a grilled cheese sandwich...a bit too cheesy. You place the order , pay, and take a lighted coaster & number ... pick the food up from the counter when your coaster lights up. Pretty fast service. Lots of delicious cookies to choose from...the best deal is bowl of soup with bagette bread or bag of chips, half a sandwich, drink, and a cookie. Variety of sandwiches and salads..wellness eating.. read more

I thought I'd give Panera was last chance. It was most definitely the last chance. The food quality just isn't what it used to be. I'm not sure what happened to the Panera I used to know and love, but I just don't anymore. The food is a bit more salty than it used to be, and it just doesn't seem to be the "healthier" choice I used to make. read more

Rapid Pick-Up is not so rapid. Definitely order 35-45 min before you plan on getting to this location. This is the second time I've ordered online ahead and I still have to wait after arriving. I used Rapid Pick-Up and placed my order at 4:52 PM. I was notified it should be ready by 5:02 PM. I asked the cashier about my order after waiting 30 minutes, and she just told me, "Oh, it should be ready. It's not ready?" Well, we could both see the Rapid Pick-Up shelves and they've been empty the entire time I've been waiting. I've been standing next to the shelves for the past 45 min now. I go to the pickup area and they act like this is the first time they've seen my order. By now they've completed orders for other patrons that ordered in person 40 minutes after me. I wait more. I see the staff just standing around doing nothing. So I ask the cashier again. Now she gets the supervisor who realizes no one is logged on the computer for the online orders, and that their website doesn't have my order. I show the receipt in my email. They start making my order an hour later. They hand me my order incomplete, so, you guessed it, I wait longer. Finally over an hr after I ordered, I get my food. Please train your staff to double check orders with customers instead of just standing around. read more

This location has very fast and friendly service. My meals are always exactly as I order. I always make it a point to stop when I am in town. read more

Next time I want an Italian dressing sandwich I'll come here. My Togo order was wrong and let me with out a lunch due to dietary restrictions. read more

Panera's soup is the best! I always get the broccoli and cheddar because I know it to be delicious and satisfying. There is almost never a wait to order, however, they can get extremely busy at this location. Sometimes it's hard to find a good table. Their sweet tea can be a little too sweet, so I'll mix half and half with the unsweet. Last time I was there the sandwich bread was torn in half, due to an air-pocket, making it impossible to pick up. You would think the preparer would have noticed this and rejected these pieces of bread. Food was still good though. Great location near the Auditorium, multiple hotels, Tanger Outlet, and many shopping centers. read more

Stopped here this morning before a long day of traveling. I ordered a simple bagel with cream cheese and coffee. I was really looking forward to a warm toasted bagel with cream cheese. Bagel was half toasted and semi warm. I think the picture explains the rest of my story.... very disappointed. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I normally love Panera, but I would give this location ZERO stars if I could!!!! The cashier rang up our entire order wrong which caused the line cooks to go yell at her, and the receipt was overcharged by $0.50 something cents. When we confronted the manager she said it's just 50 cents! HELLO YOU'RE the manager, where's your customer service?!!! I will NEVER return to this location by the outlets. It took over 20 minutes to be resolved getting our correct meals and proper change! Not even an apology was given and the restaurant was not even busy! read more

For what it is, it's good. Food is served quickly and it's fresh. The lines get long at lunch and the tables aren't cleaned quite quick enough. The baked goods are well stocked and they are quick to get the ingredients book out when questions come up about the carbs, etc. read more
