    Where's the rest of my sandwich?
    Sarah W.

    What the heck happened to this location? I absolutely adore Panera as a chain and I usually am at this specific location at least once a month, but they have gotten much slower and more rude lately. Tonight was the final straw when I ordered the caprese melt and got a tomato sandwich. No Bueno!

    Cup of Chicken noodle soup and bread.

    Not the friendliest of staff members and the girl who waited on me in the drive thru filled my cup of soup with no gloves then took my money and continued to finish getting my order put together. Not sure if she put a glove or used anything but her hand to grab my bread for my soup. I asked and paid for an extra piece of bread but did not receive it plus my cup of soup was about an inch from full.

    What is supposedly a 'Asian sesame chicken salad' with 'added corn and bean salsa'

    I ordered food from this location for a business meeting. The client I was providing lunch for ordered a "chicken frontega panini with spinach" and an "Asian sesame chicken salad, with corn bean salsa - which I paid extra for ". When I arrived to the meeting and gave the client her order, this is what she opened. There is nothing on the sandwich, and no spinach (as requested). It is also made incorrectly. There are maybe ten lettuce leaves in the salad, no chicken, and no corn salsa (which I had paid extra for). The client who I was providing lunch for was so turned off by this pathetic excuse of a meal, that I had to order a new lunch from another restaurant. When I called the restaurant later in the day, I kindly asked to speak to a manager. The employee then proceeded to just hang up the phone. Terrible service and food. It was EMBARRASSING to order food from this Panera location for a business event. (I understand that sometimes things go wrong, or maybe you have a new employee. I always provide an opportunity for restaurants to redeem themselves....but being hung up on by employees was just inappropriate and unprofessional.)

    Found an avocado peel in sandwich. Not bashing o them cause I know they were short staffed but just thought I'd let them know. Gave me the wrong sandwhich as well, still ate it and it was good probably gonna get it next time too

    I don't want to sound like a d*ck, but I feel like it's important to preface this review by saying that I don't ever eat at chains but this was an exception as this food was provided for me (as well as a large 100+ group of others) during a 12+ hour day (with 5am start time - ugh) of volunteering with a local organization. I didn't choose the catered breakfast/lunch business, and though I wouldn't normally ever eat at Panera (or any chain) in my regular life, they did a great job of providing hundreds of us with a variety of (all labeled) boxed lunches on that day. In general, I feel about a 2-star level of satisfaction for the Panera brand in general, and while my general disdain for chain restaurants makes me want to give a 3-star here, I think it'd be unfair as my experience was a positive one and I did really enjoy the sandwich, chips, pickle and cookie that they made and delivered (with my name on the box so no one else stole my veggie meal), but it's also worth noting that I did not have to pay for said meal. There was a time in my life when I would enjoy an cinnamon crunch bagel with hazelnut cream cheese on the regular, but then I grew up and realized that coming to Panera and paying what is most certainly an absolutely outrageous amount of money for an only adequate tasting meal that didn't fill me up was something that I would no longer take part in... until the volunteer organization-provided-meal this weekend. So it's been about a decade since I had a sandwich from Panera, but the veggie I had with a soft tomato-y bread, hummus, feta, cucumber, spinach and all the Mediterranean fixins' was pretty darn good. In fact, this might have been the only time I've ever gotten a sandwich from Panera that didn't taste like it was on the hardest, stale-est bread ever. In the end, I know I didn't get the full-on dine-in Panera experience, but the reality is that if I had the choice of going somewhere to dine in, a chain would never be on my list of options, but for the size + accuracy of the order, they really delivered and I can't punish them for being a chain when they came through when a non-chain business may not have been able to handle such a huge order + delivery at lunch time on a Saturday.

    Like they say, "we have everything in DeKalb". They do have a Panera. It was not much different than any other Panera. Service was good and so was the food. There was plenty of seating and I believe it attracted a good amount of college students from NIU on a Saturday afternoon. The one thing that may happen at this Panera that wouldn't at all locations is that we saw a herd of deer prancing across the intersection into a nearby field.

    Chicken Caesar salad. It was good and filling and a healthy option compared to most places around here.

    Got the gyro dinner and the Greek salad. Big serving for the dinner but could use more pita bread…read moreand "Greek sauce". My husband really enjoyed it. I had the Greek salad. The chicken was super tasty and I loved the block of feta. Although, for 15.00, I could get double the salad and chicken and get pita bread at another local Greek restaurant. I would suggest adding more to the salad for the price of 16.50. I will try something different next time but I think my husband will stick with the Gyro dinner and we will just ask for more sauce and pita bread.

More of a "hole in the wall" diner....but you could smell the food just walking through the door! The girl working the counter was most accommodating and friendly! Came for the creamy lemon rice soup and wasn't disappointed!! Delish!! Couldn't decide on entree so I opted for the $17.00 plate with pork skewer and taziki (sp) sauce soup and spinach pie! Was looking forward to trying their Pastitsio but they were out of it. Spinach pie was a very good second choice! Only downside was no liquor license and we didn't think to ask if we could byob.... They served fountain drinks and nice jugs of cold water ....one infused with cucumbers which was a nice touch. All in all very good food and way more affordable than a fancy Greek (or Mediterranean ) restaurant. Didn't have room for dessert. But looked like some nice offerings. I would go back...even if it were just for the soup!

    Welcome to DeKalb!…read more When the White Castle closed at this location before COVID, we were sad. Then McAlister's Deli came in. The place is completely redone - you wouldn't recognize it. Food wise, oh was this place good. My wife ordered The New Yorker with corned beef, pastrami, swiss and spicy brown mustard on marbled rye, and I had their Horseradish Roast Beef & Cheddar, which had black angus roast beef, sharp cheddar, red onions, and horseradish sauce on a toasted ciabatta. Listen carefully when you make your order - they ask you if you want a pickle. The pickles are good. My wife went with their Choose 2 option, and got a half a sandwich and a cup of soup. I got the regular sandwich with a bag of Ms. Vickers Salt and Vinegar chips. While they don't have the fountain where you can get it, the staff makes regular tours and offers free refills for soft drinks, and also asks you if your food is okay. My wife enjoyed her New Yorker, and I enjoyed the Horseradish Roast Beef and Cheddar. It had enough Horseradish to taste good, and the drinks tasted great. The place is completely redone, is attractive and clean, with very good service. We'll be back!

The restaurant has lots of windows so there is plenty of natural lighting. The restaurant is very clean and the tables, booths, floors, and walls are high quality. I ordered the Gyros platter and it came with a choice of potato and I picked Greek potatoes. They were lacking in flavor but they had the perfect texture and were good. The soup today was beef and vegetables but I chose to have the side salad with Greek dressing. The dressing did not have much flavor... Just tasted like vinegar. The vegetables were fresh and delicious. The Gyro meat was cooked very nicely and tasted delicious. I would definitely eat this again. There were some really nice crunchy and crispy pieces... Not fatty or gristly at all. I love that they included feta cheese, I love eating that with the pita. This has to be the best gyros I have had in a long time. My husband ordered big farm breakfast. The eggs cooked over easy were good. The corn beef hash was cooked perfectly (which is the most important part of this breakfast in my opinion). The hash browns could use a little more taste. The pancakes were good as well. Definitely filled him up. He would order again for sure. The menu has lots of great items on it. Cannot wait to come back and try something else. Highly recommend dining here.
