I was meeting my team for the first time before we participated in a curling bonspiel, and we had a nice brunch! One wanted breakfast, so we planned on 10:45, but I was looking for some protein that I could eat in between games too. I ordered a new salad that I hadn't seen on the menu (it's been a while since I ate at Panera); it was a delicious green salad with grains, banana peppers or pepperoncini and grilled chicken. My food was ready fast, tasted great, and we had a great weekend curling! read more

I ordered a Tuna sandwich and wanted a different bread. I ordered it on Focacia bread. the sandwich was awful; there was more Bread and lettuce than tuna. The tuna looked like it was used as a Spread instead of actual tuna to be on a sandwich. I called to speak to a manager; however one of the staff members proceeded to tell me what Tuna actually was; which was insulting because if I ordered it I obviously know what it is. Manager never came to phone, so I hung up. My company is new to area, and we have given them quite a lot of business over the past 3 months; but things will be changing if I have a say in our catering choices and I DO!!! read more

S Kings Drive location Charlotte NC. Sandwiches NOT made on time, claimed they didn't get the order, acted like they didn't understand english, rude kitchen staff, no management to be seen, no apologies, and more importantly my Meditteranean sandwiches were of very poor quality, lacking ingredients and skimpy. LOOK at the pictures of my sandwich. You can see what the sandwich is suppose to look like as pictured on the online order page. The other 5 photo's are the sandwich I received. read more

I had a coupon, I was hungry, happened to be near this Panera YES! What a lovely experience. Addison was my cashier, she was so friendly, helpful and efficient. I had a lot of questions and she was also patient with me which I appreciated. I wasn't sure how to use my coupon so she asked for help from the asst mgr who worked it out. She listened to what I wanted and helped me figure it out. This restaurant is clean and nice. Near Northlake mall. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Even when my order came up and I asked for it to be packaged to go. No problem! Thank you Panera! read more

Ordered a BLT, never had bacon served refrigerator cold, TERRIBLE. 1st and last time for me. And try to find a clean table. place is bad. keep driving! read more

This Panera was very busy when I e visited however we did get our food in a timely manner. The fact that Panera now has flatbread is mind blowing as I've always ordered salad, sandwich and/or soup. The expansion to flatbread is a great one as the margarita flatbread is full of flavor and made fresh. The breakfast is also good here. My go to is oatmeal and my husband the spinach and egg white breakfast sandwich. Overall this is a good location. read more

I just went into Panera after having a horrible experience at McDonalds nearby. Panera ended up running out of espresso for my coffee but one of the sweetest workers gave me caramel to make my own iced coffee there and a free pastry. I can't remember her name, but all staff was sweet and working hard. It was busy and they were all keeping a good attitude. I will be going back to this location! Thank you Panera staff!! read more

It was one of the best salads I have had in a long time. Trying to eat healthier which is a challenge, but giving it a chance. Ordered the new Southwest Chicken Salad. Added seared chicken thighs. It came with romaine lettuce, fresh avocado, cilantro, grated parmesan cheese, Chipotle aioli drizzled and topped with blue corn tortilla strips. Babee dat salad was excellent. Service was excellent with a wide menu of bakery items, bowls, pizza, spreads, soup, and salads. Made to order. Quick and fast! My new favorite salad as the portion is truly enough for 2, lol. Ambiance is cool with tables/booths and free Wi-Fi. read more

I ordered a Cinnamon Swirl and Raisin bagel with plain cream cheese and an unsweetened iced tea...good as usual. The cashier was friendly and the restaurant is clean with enjoyable background music. Panera Bread is one of my favorite places to sit quietly and catch up on emails, etc. Perfect location...right next to Northlake Mall. read more

What place ever I used to buy there for 10 years the manager Kathy KATY the worst manager I ever encounter she crashed me out where useless the sandwich was terrible and not fix it at all. Didn't need to fire her so if you need me hung up the phone I was so upset. I will report it to headquarters. I have Witness! read more

Food was o k. Drink machine wasn't working. Just not what I expected. Seems to have gone down a bit. Service was good.

It's hard for me to find chicken salad I like but I rock with the chicken salad at Panera bread! The service was good per usual.

Went with a friend for lunch. We ordered two turkey sandwiches on French baguette. About 10 minutes later, a friendly woman came over but it was the wrong bread. About five minutes after that, a guy came over but it was the wrong bread (same bread as before). On the third attempt, we both received well-done bread, dry turkey, and barely any mayo. It very much felt like an assembly-line sandwich (no heart put into it at all). The pickle looked sad. If you could imagine what a sad pickle looked like, that's how pickle appeared. I ate it to take it out of its misery. Chips were good. Company was great. Friendly service even though they kept getting order wrong. This is usually a reliable Panera, but I guess there's too much traffic now for them to really care about each meal. Another Panera, another disappointment. I'll give this spot another chance. Good experiences in the past. read more

They need to bring back the Turkey chili. I tried the new Fireside chili and it could be best described as a big mush of spicy beans. I could not taste the beef or tomatos, Were they even there because all I saw and tasted was mashed up kidney beans with a lot of chili peppers. Yuck for me! read more

Always a great option for healthier fast food! The food came out quickly and the staff was very nice. I got the BBQ chicken salad, m&m cookie, chips, and charged lemonade. All of it was delicious. I sat outside which was semi-clean but there were plenty of clean tables inside too. The bathroom was quite dirty but other than that it was an overall good experience. read more

Consistency here is an issue. I've figured out a "whole" sandwich is basically two sandwiches -- four pieces of bread. Where things get interesting is the half sandwiches. A kid's grilled cheese have been one whole sandwich or a literal half sandwich. The same with other half sandwiches. My spouse and I each had the pick two with the same sandwiches but his had added bacon. My sandwich was made with two whole pieces of bread and his was a literal half sandwich made with one piece of bread cut in half. When you get the same meal and one meal is obviously smaller than the other one has to question who is getting ripped off. Basically I never know if I want to get a half sandwich because I will not be happy spending six dollars on a piece of bread with toppings. Also, I order sliced bagels to save myself time and they're never sliced evenly. read more

This is a judgement free zone right? Okay, cool. Sooo y'all, ya girl was really hungry and unsure of what I wanted so like a true foodie I got a little bit of everything! Still a safe space right? Cool... I ordered the Pick 2 where I got a half turkey sandwich and upsized my southwest chicken tortilla soup from a cup to a bowl. I also got a side order of chips, a small cup or fruit and a piece of french baguette bread. The southwest chicken tortilla soup is new on the menu. It was very salty and gave me more of a chicken chili taste than chicken tortilla soup taste. I probably won't get it again. My fruit cup was fresh and mainly filled with cantaloupe with a few pieces of strawberries and grapes. I placed my order through the Panera Bread app and it was brought out to my car in less than 15 minutes. The app is very user friendly and allows you to pay by gift card, Apple Pay or debit/credit card. If you're curious..yes, yes I did eat all of it in one sitting. read more

Order through the app a few times for delivery and pick up. This panara doesn't care what you order they are going to give you want they want. Their staff don't care. It's awful. Then when you say something they look at you like your in the wrong. I don't recommend this Panera at all. read more

Panera Bread - How can you not have any bagels because baker was late? Shouldn't you have a backup for things like this? I'm just saying. - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Panera is as Panera does and this place Paneras pretty much as expected. Getting parked is pretty straight forward: use the east lot because entering the store from there is just that easy. Center Lake Drive is right out and the connect 'em road isn't much better so just park on the east end. Once you're inside there's order kiosks or real people ready to trade cash for food and stuff. The bread wall is pretty standard as are the counter displays; the prettier the item the closer upper it'll be to encourage an impulse buy. Coffees are close by but still get-to-able from the dining room. Coffee black and a scone is my choice when the souffle is gone which is half the time before work and always after. Dining room is kind of a jumble and doesn't look to do well with groups, apparently someone isn't a fan of lines. The dual patios means options for soaking up sunlight but getting out there can be a chore; might be easier to walk around the building to the outdoor seating. read more

It is all about Rapid Check-In. Without it I would not frequent Panera that much. It just makes my life so easy and so simple. No lines, no waiting just order and pay online and BAM! it is ready when required. I'll spare you on the food - you already know since it is a chain. No complaints. Always good and fresh and I am in love with the soba noodle bowls. Best thing they have ever added to their menu. read more

Panera Bread - Delicious and full of flavor. Soba noodles with chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This Panera is tops due to its efficiency! I'm a huge fan of places who know how to deal with heavy lunch crowds and this location fits that bill. Now that I work in the area, I find myself stopping by here at least once a week. Thankfully, every time I know that I'll be able to pop right in and out should my schedule call for it. This location does fill up on the inside during lunch hours so be prepared to grab your lunch to-go but there is also a small outside area that is nice. Friendly staff also help make this location a winner! read more

I can describe this Panera in just two words: nothing special. I only go occasionally because I work close by and we don't have a lot of great restaurants around Northlake Mall. I love the broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl. The macaroni & cheese is good too. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomato soup and I wouldn't order it again. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the chicken salad sandwich. I ordered the side Caesar salad a few times as part of the You Pick Two and it was just ok. One time, the dressing was just plain sour, but I didn't have time to complain and wait for a new one because I had to get back to work. I also got a burned shortbread cookie once, but they quickly replaced it when I showed them how burned it was on the bottom. Don't go to this location if you're looking for peace on the weekends either. Anytime I've ever come on a Saturday afternoon, I've always regretted it because screaming kids just love sitting next to me. All in all, just an average, overpriced (but they all are) Panera Bread that I wouldn't go out of my way to try. read more

I can't believe this is my second Panera of the day....but then again I've seen crazier things happen. I came here after stopping by a Dunkin Donuts with no Wi Fi and figured why not Panera.....again. They have an awesome Pick Two Lunch Special with a side item for $6.49 and they list the calorie content clearly for you to see and make a smart decision. I always say I'm going to try a different kind of soup but their broccoli-cheddar keeps me coming back for more! The place was bumping, even before noon on a Friday! It was difficult to find a table but I found a small booth nestles in the back for some privacy and just enough room to get some work done and enjoy my grub. All kinds of people--young, old, professional, students, loud, quiet, stinky, nice smelling. Variety is the spice of life! Parking can be a beezy here---remember to bring your My Panera rewards card (I feel like I'm totally pimping out that program today!!) read more

Probably the worst Panera I have ever eaten at. I always get the smokehouse chicken sandwich. The chicken is usually pretty decent. This location seems rather careless. I got two giant slices of chicken skin/ chicken fat that was a half inch thick. Absolutely revolting. Of course I'm too shy to ask for a refund and I didn't even want a new sandwich at that point. Appetite gone. read more

Northlake location used to be a great restaurant. I have watched it decline considerably in the last five or six years. Several weeks ago I ordered a pepperoni melt. The sandwich was on a really long loaf of bread and I counted five slices of pepperoni on the whole thing. I was there today at around 2:30, with not many people in the restaurant. It took them more than 20 minutes to prepare my order. I ordered a Frontega sandwich, but there was hardly any meat on it. $17 is a ridiculous amount of money for such a small sandwich, a bag of chips, and a small soda. read more

Just remember these words: Jalapeno cheddar bagel breakfast sandwich is the bomb. Im still dreaming about it. Oh how I wish there was a panera in new orleans! The iced coffee regular size with free refills was also very good. The cheese danish was as good as it gets but the sandwich really stood out and is the best breakfast sandwich ive ever had in my LIFE. I will be stalking Panera locations from now on. read more

Employees are nice. But for a place called "Panera bread" they sure don't ever have any bread. For the past x3 times I've come here they've had no bread bowls. Or I've had to choose a different style bread for sandwiches because they are out of the original type. Very disappointing. read more

Love the pumpkin muffins and cinnamon crunch latte! Makes for a yummy fall flavored breakfast at the office. I wish they were a little more consistent when it came to checking the orders before they go out on the shelves, are brought out to the car, or delivered. There have been a few times where I ordered soup or a smoothie and would get back to my office and a spoon or a straw would not be included even though I asked for utensils and it was checked and signed off on my receipt by an order checker... Normally not a big deal if I was picking it up or getting it delivered to my house but I don't have spare spoons and straws laying around my office so that is a bit of a large inconvenience when that happens. But when you specify that you DO want them included just double check the damn spoon is in the bag. read more
