Asian chicken salad
Brian M.

I was visiting relatives in Virginia Beach for a relatives birthday and stopped by about an hour before close for a quick dinner. I use to love Panera Bread although now it's just ok. Don't get me wrong, everyone was very nice, helpful, the food was good for what it is. I think the issue is that I used to going to a regular restaurant where food is fresh, sometimes farm to table, and prepared individually. It's hard to compare Panera to those types of restaurants. What I would recommend that they change some of their fixtures, the chairs and the garbage station looked very worn. We had the grilled signature chicken sandwich, the Mexican corn soup, a favorite which is the Asian sesame chicken salad. It was quick and worked for me. Prices are fair and I have nothing bad to say. There was an older woman who took great pride in her job which was cleaning. I wanted to give her props and hope their manager read this. I would recommend them for a good, quick meal.

Green goddess cobb

Dined in with my daughter this past Saturday evening. One Cobb salad, 1/2 turkey sandwich, fruit cup and milk - $30 later my little one and I were still hungry. I cannot even comprehend that half of a turkey sandwich was over $8. Even with inflation, I can get a half pound of deli turkey at the grocery store for $5. My salad was missing avocado. The sandwich didn't even include cheese. Half of the grapes in the fruit cup were mush. And the staff ALL looked like they'd rather be anywhere else while blasting profane hip hop/rap music from the prep station. If I weren't trying to do something fun - like dine out with my daughter - I'd have gone straight home. Never. Never. Again.

Order pick 2 and my chicken avocado melt had absolutely no avocado way too much sauce that just ruined the sandwich! Never had issues with a Panera, huge disappointment! Feel like I was ripped off!

Chicken Caesar with extra chicken at Panera
Bruce K.

I like tablets or kiosks for ordering food. The lack of needing to explain things to people makes my life so much easier! And that's what I did here today at Panera. Push the right buttons for my Chicken Caesar Salad with extra chicken, pay, take a pager, find a seat, wait. Super simple, super easy! My salad arrived within five minutes, exactly as requested. (I forgot to have them hold the croutons.) Delicious, filling and completely within the lines of my keto diet. Awesome! The restaurant does get super busy during lunch time but I did find a good seat. Tables were clean, trash cans were not full and the condiments/drink area was tidy. I'm a fan!

Not many patrons on Fri night despite a jam packed parking lot oriented like a moat. Place has changed significantly since my last visit including a rebranded facelift and process flow improvements like Order kiosks, digital signage, and to go racks. New logos escorted in refreshed white analog menus signs and wall decor. Son opted to utilize the employee behind the counter to order his Mac n cheese kids meal. She was patient, kind and efficient. Redeemed a school issued certificate making the visit's grand total $0. Food wait was minimal, practically ready after he filled his cup with a fountain drink. Drink station was a bit messy but forgivable. Order was made correctly with perfectly announced pronunciation of his (our) name, a rarity indeed. My wife and I didn't order anything. To us, Panera was once a very good soup/sand/salad shop at value prices in a WiFi rich chain "restaurant" environment; over the years, prices increased while portions and quality decreased. It's 3-3.5 star quality that's quick and convenient; a notch above Wawa for sure. All in all, our son enjoyed his hot, creamy Mac and French baguette. We delighted in seeing his smile.

Pepperoni mozzarella melt

We ordered catering No a bad sandwich bread was little hard but good flavor, one thing they need to put in the box more than one napkin...

This is not my "home" Panera as it's a bit further, but this is the one a bunch of friends and I meet once a month. We prefer their layout as it's open but with nooks to separate your group from the others. When we come here, we usually order on our phone and pick up at the window. It's always so fast to order, and it takes 10 minutes for your food to be ready for pickup. One thing we noticed, was that if you order on your phone and want to order certain items, it will tell you they are "out" of it but in fact they were not. We saw it in plain view. I ordered the 4 cheese flatbread pizza and it was delicious. Their bloody orange lemonade was also very tasty! The manager giving out food at the window was super helpful as well. I do love this location.

Toasted Steak and White Cheddar Sandwich
Beth H.

I'll start by saying my Broccoli and Cheddar Soup was perfect and delicious. However, my sandwich was not good at all. It had about half (maybe less) of the amount of ingredients it used to have. Additionally, it was very dry and hard to chew. I was very disappointed! I know it's a rough time for everyone, but this isn't a lack of workers - this is a bad job! Nothing about this was worth $10.

Chicken & Pepperoni Melt.

This should be called the skimpy chicken and pepperoni melt. Very little to none chicken and pepperoni, especially for the price. The food was delicious but for the price, I expect to get what I payed for. It was just a baguette with a smear of cheese, chicken and pepperoni. The Mac $ cheese was nice and hot with lots of flavor. The green tea was just right!

Fresh Baked Breads yum
Ronnie D.

Had a late lunch with the kids at the Greenbrier Panera in Crossways Shopping Center. It was clean, and the associates were very friendly. It was around 3p and they were already out of certain bread options, so went with a different option, which was good as far as flavor and freshness. We ordered 2 bread bowls of the cheddar and broccoli soup. A flatbread pepperoni pizza and a pick 2 tuna sandwich and another bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. We had 3 regular sized drinks, which scored us half off on bakery treats, so we added a chocolate chip cookie and 2 brownies. The food was great in flavors, but I didn't feel there was much difference between a bowl of soup vs the cup of soup as far as portions. The flatbread pizza was a hit with the kids. The desserts were fresh and yummy. The restaurant was clean and had a decent amount of patrons within it. I was a little shell shocked by the cost 56 was steep for what we had and the small portions to boot. All in all we enjoyed our lunch, but for soup and a sandwich, with half price cookies/brownies costs, I don't think we will be returning any time soon. For another twenty we could have had bigger plates of seafood!

Wax paper
Clinton R.

Usually dont have a problem with panera but lately they have been sloppy messing up my order. Todays episode of messing up my order, they left in my sandwich the wax paper like from what you see what separates the cheese slices.

Asiago bagel with their hazelnut coffee... So simple... But so good

The meat was fresh and seafood was delicious. I wish they had soft tofu though Service was mostly a serving robot. We went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't crowded.

Came here with a friend of mine who absolutely loves hot pot. I had actually never had it before,…read moreso I had zero idea what I was in for. But honestly, it turned out to be such a fun and tasty experience! For anyone who hasn't tried it: hot pot is basically a big simmering pot of soup right at your table where you cook all your own food. You pick all your ingredients from soup, veggies, meats, noodles, mushrooms, whatever you want and drop them into the hot broth to cook. It's super customizable and kind of like a mix between soup and DIY cooking right at the table, which is actually a blast once you get the hang of it. We both went with a hot, spicy soup base which was perfect for warming up on a cold day. I threw in broccoli, mushrooms, ribeye, and noodles. The best part is watching everything cook right in front of you and then pulling it out when it's just right. The broth soaks up all those flavors and gets even richer as you go. The flavors were amazing! Really bold and satisfying. The spicy broth was exactly what I needed, and everything we added came out perfectly cooked and delicious. It was warm and cozy, which made the whole thing even better since it felt like the ultimate cold weather meal. I look forward to retuning and trying something completely different!

I stopped by Jason's Deli today during the middle of the lunch rush, so waiting in line for a few…read moreminutes was completely expected. What stood out to me wasn't the wait it was the exceptional customer service. A gentleman (I'm not sure if he was the manager or owner) kept apologizing for the wait and even offered me a free cookie for the inconvenience. I politely declined since I'm not much of a sweets person, but the gesture itself meant so much. I've always chosen Jason's Deli because the food is consistently great and the customer service has always been excellent, but today they went above and beyond. It's rare to see someone so genuinely focused on putting customers first, and I wanted to make sure that effort didn't go unnoticed. To the gentleman at Jason's Deli hats off to you. Thank you for reminding us that kindness and great customer service still exist. It truly made my day.

I had The Carmela which was a bit spicy due to crushed spicy relish. My wife had the Big Chef salad with their ranch dressing. She loved the unique taste of their ranch. It truly was Big! It was delicious. The manager delivered it to our table and came back around to make sure it was exactly how we wanted it. They definitely earned our five stars.

We always choose the Greenbrier location in Chesapeake since there's ample parking available, and the service is very good. Tonight I tried a new salad, the Lemon Basil Harvest Blend, and I appreciated our server, Jackeline M for asking if I preferred the dressing on the side. Yes, please! I'm so glad she asked! This mixed greens salad has some star ingredients that caught my eye: charred artichokes, green olives, and grilled balsamic chicken. Yum. I'll be ordering this salad again. My bestie ordered her favorite bc combo with Tomato Soup and the Wine Country salad. She says that soup and salad combo never disappoints. She finished it! But, we always save room to share a trusty bc favorite dessert: the Wimbledon (strawberries with whipped cream crepes). Although it's no longer on the menu, the Greenbrier location always whips it up for us when we ask. It's an oldie, and a goodie! We enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Baker's Crust and find that our dinner catch ups over their delicious food and dessert are always long overdue. I boxed half of my salad to take home and Jackeline was kind in bringing me extra salad dressing to go. Very thoughtful. We'll be back soon!
