This is a great addition to the neighborhood. The staff has been friendly and the food is always prepared fresh & hot. We enjoy coming here for the sandwiches & variety of baked bread/desserts/bagels. Highly recommended read more

Placed an order online and they screwed it up. On top of that the manager was rude and just couldnt care less. Talked to the District Manager and he was great. So today was the 1st time I went back and these people screwed up my order again. Im just done with this place! It's a shame because Panera has great food. Oh well..... read more

The fucking ghetto, ALREADY! It so sad this shit is ghetto asf already. First of all I ordered soup, & a baguette on the side. They gave me a baguette the side of the kids one. Kids baguettes are much smaller than the ones for regular size meals. Usually the bread is about 6inches if you order a regular size soup. This was the size they gave me and then tried to tell me they don't give out anything bigger. The manage or whoever her ass was, came to the window with an attitude like I didn't just spend $30. All I want is the right size bread not this bullshit. Don't half ass me and I'm paying my money for this shit. The first picture is what she threw in a bag after I complained lol terrible service read more

It 9:00am, I ordered a breakfast sandwich on an Everything bagel. Only to be told they don't have and Everything bagels , WTF, It is still the breakfast hour ? Disappointed, is putting it mildly . You got to do better ! read more

First time I went, the food was delicious. A little slow getting our order but it was good. Went back following week & ordered warm grain bowl & they were out of most of the ingredients & only got rice, chicken & cheese in the bowl, after being told they were out of beans, they seem to also run out of corn, tomatoes, and all the other stuff too. I was still charged full price but got half the food! The sandwich portions are tremendously small for the pick two also. Average price I pay every time I go i pay $35 or more & it's just not worth the money! read more

Poor customer service! It's unfortunate that some workers at this store have very rude behavior and seem to have no business to work in food service. This is the the closest Panera where we live at and what a difference when we go visit to Waldorf, Alexandria, or other Panera's outside of Clinton. We have ordered using the app- curbside pick up, and have waited for at least 15 minutes to get our order when the app says it's ready (what's the point of having curb side options if you can't deliver). Another instance is when I ordered iced coffee but got charged twice...when I came up to the counter to ask for a refund, one of the employees quipped, "there's always something..." When the same employee came up to the counter, I told her that it's rude and disrespectful to hear that as a customer...and all I got what "I was just talking to my coworker." Overall, Panera items are good but if you have employees that display very poor customer service, it brings the experience down and turns customers off. @Panera management, what do you plan to do about this? Why are some locations better than others, and why does the Clinton branch have such horrible customer service? I think the clientele in this area deserve better as we are all paying customers. read more

Why I will never return to the Clinton Panera again I had the opportunity to visit the new Clinton Panera today. I received a warm greeting and my order ( 1 bagel sliced and toasted) was taken. I was directed to go to the pick up area to receive my order. After waiting 5 minutes, I returned to the counter and asked if I was in the correct place. I was told yes so I continued to wait a few more minutes. After several minutes had past I returned to the counter and ask for my money back. The young lady left to get someone to assist with my return. She came back with Heath. Heath never asked what the issue was or why I wanted the refund. He just gave me my money back and left. I was more upset with his lack of customer service then with the time it took to get one bagel. If you want to be successful CUSTOMER SERVICE is the key. read more

I'm afraid that I have to agree with other yelpers and say that this Panera locations seem to be the worst in the area even though it is the newest. I found coffee cold several times, mistakes on orders, out of creamer at the serving station, messy station. Overall I love Panera and this location is very close to my job, so I probably will continue coming here but they have issues to fix and lots of things to improve read more

This was my 2nd online order and delivery 09/18/20 food experience was on point, Creamy Chicken Soup and Rice absolute fav... w/ Greek Salad. 09/18/20 Same order not the same quality, Every thing online that was extra was not received the dressing that i ask for was not received my Greek Salad wasn't as fresh from the one i had the day prior . Truly disappointed when your ready for you favorite lunch and can't enjoy it . And you don't have the time to go elsewhere. read more

I have had so many negative experiences with this restaurant. Today they just left out an entire sandwich from my order and the manager relayed to me that there was nothing that they can do for me. I'm so tired of being disrespected from this manager in this incompetent restaurant. You guys have higher standards than this and I'm disgusted. Also my moms sandwich was incorrect per usual. I hate this location with all of my being. I wish I could give 0 stars. read more

This is how they put my bread in the bag with my two salads. This is not acceptable at all. This makes me wonder about their cleaning and hygiene practices during this pandemic. read more

This has been a favorite place to eat dinner with my kids. I've never been a fan of salad until my job ordered Panera for lunch one day. Ever since I've been hooked to Caesar salad with chicken. I love sitting near the fireplace for ambiance. Or the large high table. Service is fine. Never had any issue. Only thing I would recommend is better drink options. The ones I've tried are bland. Maybe incorporate vitamin water as an option. The cold caramel frap drink is good if you like caffeine. Taste just like cold coffee. Other than that, cool place to grab a salad. Oh and did I mention the bread is good also. Not that I need bread. But it's great with salad. I never tried the cookies. read more

We have sadly had a lot of order mistakes with this location. Once they didn't give an entire pizza to our DoorDash driver, and this time they throw our bread into a wide open bag touching containers and boxes that were likely on a different counter. Please take germs and the pandemic more seriously, Panera. Disappointed once again by the lack of cleanliness. read more

I placed an order on the app arrived to pick it up after 15 mins of waiting I went inside to discover my order was never completed. Even after receiving notifications it was ready for pick up. I had wait an additional 15 mins to get my order. None of the staff apologize for the mix up or anything. Poor service at this location. read more

I called this Panera multiple times because I placed an order through the app, had never visited this location, and could not find the store. Although I called multiple times, no one ever answered the phone!! C'mon Clinton, MD, you can represent better. read more

5 star rating for my takeout dining experience here yesterday afternoon. This was my 2nd visit to this location. I ordered turkey avocado club and strawberry poppyseed salad (no chicken). It was delicious! Cashier was polite and courteous and service was timely. Great portion sizes. Please note that this location also has a drive-thru. All employees were wore masks. I read the bad reviews but gave them a chance anyway. I did note a few spots on the floor but the dining booths looked clean. That does happen with self-serve drink areas. Hope management takes note! read more

Disgusted. They put raw bacon on my turkey sandwich. Who does that? Never going to this location again. Because of their laziness I could've gotten sick. read more

Unfortunately this is my neighborhood Panera bread I'm a retired schoolteacher and I cannot enjoy it because it is extremely filthy inside!!! 10:30 AM almost looks like the restaurant was used all day!! read more

The first family feast I ordered they forgot my whole baguette, I can let that slide, but this time, this is the second and FINAL TIME I am ever ordering from this trash place again, the app gave me the wrong soup, my avocado chipotle melt had a piece and I mean A PIECE of avocado, and the other whale of the sandwich had none on it and my second sandwich for my wife was supposed to be a toasted frontTega chicken sandwich, I don't even know what that second sandwich is not am I going to eat it because that is not what I paid for, I understand times are hard because of Covid but if you can't do your job right then quit because people like us are paying for the food and we're not getting what we're ordering and I have yet to be reached back out by Panera customer support to re-correct this problem, at the moment I wouldn't buy from this area ever again. I don't know who manages this spot but the evening short is trash and so is the manager. read more

I love coming here! The people are so nice and of course the food is amazing. I'm glad they finally built a Panera near where I live.

Went to Panera Bread (Pb) on 10/8/22, I ordered two bread bowls (one broccoli cheddar cheese and an onion soup. Much to my dismay, I drove 10 miles to my residence after obtaining my purchase. When I looked in the bag, the bread bowls weren't there. I drove back to PB to inform them that the bread bowls were missing. For my trouble, I requested a complimentary onion soup, and was told that I could get a cookie. I was appalled; I don't like desserts. I was a bit angry, and told the cashier that I will never do business with PB ever! I drove 30 miles in total and feel that PB could've reimbursed me, since gas prices are steep, and the Clinton establishment messed up on my order. To boot, I will never eat another soup BB from anywhere. My advice: do not rely on the help at PB to get your order right! Bad service. read more

Placed an order through the app, I get home and my boyfriend takes a bite of his turkey apple sandwich to find that there is NO turkey on the sandwich. How the hell do you forget the turkey?!! At that time the store was closed and it was nothing we could do. This was my third time at this location since I opened and my first visit wasn't so pleasant but I let it slide because they were closing, but this is ridiculous and I will not be coming back. read more

Amazing costumer service! The staff was so helpful after a confusion at the drive thru also the food and cookies were super good!

This is the WORST PAERNA ever. I'm always trying to give them another chance but they never get any better. One time I ordered a bagel extra toasted with cream cheese. Got an untoasted bagel and when I opened the cream cheese it was liquid. But tonight was the last straw. I did a mobile order for curbside pick up as I have a young child who I didn't want to take into the store. I ordered before I left the house. Got there parked in the assigned parking spots and checked in on the app. I was a few minutes early. So I didn't mind waiting. But 25 minutes after I ordered I went in and said I wanted to cancel the order just give me a refund. The guy working was like well you're orders been ready it's right here take it. I said no I don't even want it anymore and that's not even all of it I ordered a drink too and he said well you can make it yourself. I said the whole point of curbside ordering was so I didn't have to come In here. They finally cancelled my order and I ll get a refund In 3-5 business days I guess. I called customs service and they were more helpful than the actual in person employees I dealt with. Next time I'll just go across the parking lot to Chick-fil-A where they understand customer service read more

Best Panera bread ever. The customer service is just excellent . I absolutely love this place read more

No wonder this place has a two-star rating. The customer service is horrible. You will pay a lot of money for missing items. I never had this issue with two of the Alexandria location. read more

Update: So I recently decided to come back, this time during breakfast and decided I would dine in. Let's just say they are still adjusting to "opening". My soufflé was cold as if it had been sitting out for 10 mins or so. No one, likes to eat cold eggs! And my coffee and my BF coffee was not sweet, to the point I had to go back to get it fixed right. I would think the more "special" coffees like Caramel Latte, or Cinnamon spiced latte would be served sweet or like the picture on the website with whipped cream. Well it wasn't. So I guess some days will be hit or miss! Hopefully someone "in charge" of that establishment reads these reviews and try to fix the small problems. It won't stop me from coming back as of right now, but I probably won't be choosing them as a first choice for breakfast or coffee! read more

Ordered the strawberry poppyseed salad with chicken through in cafe pick up. First the order was delayed for a while , I picked it up looked inside and it looked fine. Got home and began eating and noticed there was no chicken in the salad only fruit and lettuce. Did not call since managers do not handle complaints well. Will never go back and will never recommend. read more

If I could rate this store less than a one I sure would. They messed up my order while I was there I had the issues fixed only to get home and realize other things were messed up. I called and asked for a refund because uh yea why would I pay for items I never received and I was told to just come back... how about no it's a 15 minute drive there and back and gas is high. I was placed on hold and I was on hold so long the phone recalled and hung itself up. I immediately called back and was told they would check back in in 3 minutes... same thing happens phone recalls and hangs itself up. I then call back again 3 more times only for them to not answer at all. Best believe whoever the manager on duty is will be hearing from me. Issues do happen but the way you handle them says a lot more about you than the issue itself. I hope better management and employees will be placed in the store for the future. 0/10 I would NEVER recommend this location. read more

I ordered my food and paid for rapid order at 12:20pm on 2/19/20. I arrived at 12:45pm to pick it up. My food wasn't on the shelf. The person behind the counter stated she fixed my order and it was placed in the pick up shelf. Of course someone took my food and there was no more broccoli and cheddar soup the only thing I ordered. So I had to get a refund for my lunch. My point is being is that there's so much dishonesty out here, maybe the management needs to move the pick up behind the counter so people food that is paid for will not be taken by a dishonest person. read more

This place does not clean the restrooms and when I asked for toilet paper for the woman restroom all I got was ok and no one ever restocked smdh I asked two employees i just walked out. They have the nerve to say they clean often because of covid but you they won't even restock when asked and they were not busy barely anyone was in there . It's getting harder and harder for companies to find employees who actually care unfortunately They all look school age . read more

The first day I went to this new location ( about a week ago) it was so amazing. The food was amazing, fast, and the customer service was excellent. This time, I went through the drive through, the service was a bit slow, the employees were very nice taking my order. When I pulled up to the window, the cashier (Jai) only said "hello". Didn't tell me my total and didn't even repeat my order to me to make sure everything was okay. She just said hello and waited for me to hand her the money. Anyways, I gave her the money and she gave me my change back, my drink, and then my food but rushing me out the way. When I got home, and opened my bag, I was immediately disgusted. My bread was just thrown into the bag. And so was my spoon. I'm sorry but that is just super unsanitary. The bread should be inside of a bag or something. Not just thrown into the bag. The bbq chicken Mac&Cheese I ordered was super dry. The sand which was sloppy and messy to eat (Turkey & avocado BLT) and the agave lemonade was superrrr tart. I hated my experience through the drive through. Seems like they care more about food presentation when you order "for here" instead of "to-go".. read more

Panera Bread - Drive-Thru - Salad Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I am in here waiting on my meal while a cook has her mask completely under her chin- while talking to customers for about 5 minutes- while she stands directly over the bread. Disappointed! read more

honestly this was the worse panera bread experience i ever had. food that was prepared was bland, literally a toddler could have made the sandwich better. the drinks given was watered down. salads came with no dressing. called and tried to speak to a manager and was hung up on, tried calling back, only got a busy line. honestly, do not waste your time going to this panera. nothing will ever be done correctly. read more

I ordered through the app for curbside and not only did my order take extremely long but the food given to me wasn't what I ordered.

Everything prepared just seemed like no effort was given, asked for a sand which... one piece of meat. Asked for a Cesar and tuna chicken salad barley any on it. Spent over $30 on food and smoothies. Learned from my mistake won't be getting anymore of my money. NOT RECOMMENDED read more

I love Panera but not the Clinton location. Poor customer service. The employees definitely need more training.

I went to the Clinton, MD location around 7:30pm on a Wednesday. We sat in drive-thru for almost 45 min. we ordered 1 half caesar salad, a whole Caesar salad, 2- turkey bacon bravo sandwiches. When we got home 1 sandwich had no meat at all, the other sandwich had 1 piece of meat. I called on the way to take the sandwiches back. A young lady answers the phone "Hello"! I asked is this Panera Bread? She said, yes! I said may I speak to a manager? She said, we're closed. You're going to have to call back tomorrow. And she hung up.! When I arrived I knocked on the glass and someone came to the door. I asked to speak to a manager. The manager came out, ( a short Caucasian female with blondish brown hair). I informed her of what happened. She seemed so care free about the situation for saying this is her job. She said, I can't give you a refund I've already closed out for the night. The managed said we can make you another sandwich. I informed the manager why would I want another sandwich when the initial sandwiches were not correct. She stated I can refund your money tomorrow. You can call. She asked for the receipt. I have it to her. She wrote down my name and number. The manager stated she was off tomorrow but she can have one of the three managers call me for the refund. Or her district manager can give me a call. I said okay. I said to her I know it's the close of business but really, this makes no sense. I left and called multiple times the next day and received no answer. But, I didn't get hung up on again around 5:50pm. I guess she took my number to know not to answer the call. Needless to say I still haven't received a call back for a refund. I will never go to that Panera Bread again. Nor will I recommend any one else to. That manager abs employee are making that location look bad. I never leave reviews. FYI, Customer service is everything! read more
