The other side dish I wanted was coleslaw .. however , I mis read the item and ordered a kale , the green purple leafy vegetable mixed with cabbage . I didn't like it . Anyway , it was not enough food for a stocky man, who was a fairly hungry . My friend , who also ordered grilled Salmon, had a side order of cauliflower-rice and side order sweet potato fries which were seriously over cooked , and borderline burnt . I took them back to ready station person and told the young lady that the sweet potato fries were burnt, and could I have another order of the fries ( obviously not overcooked) . She was surprised. But agreed to tell the cook , to make another order of them . After 9 minutes No one said anything to me , so the new perfectly cooked fries would have sat there if I didn't get up and locate them . Also the drink I originally ordered could not be found on the drink machine which I mixed a tea with a little soda . Nevertheless , the grill salmon was nicely prepared , but the skimpy portion of rice and the kale-slaw were not enough for two us. I was feeling like I could have ordered a second dinner , as was my friend, as we drove 35 minutes to meet there from different locations. The young fellow who took our order was helpful in helping us use the touch screen. However , it was our first time at this restaurant chain , and we're both feeling hungry leaving the place .

Simply Salad

I'm a regular at Simply Salad as this is my go-to spot when I want a good affordable salad or wrap…read more I've tried the Chicken Caesar Salad, Cobb Wrap, and Caesar Wrap, and I've really enjoyed all three. I love that I can customize everything exactly how I like it. For the Cobb Wrap, I remove the tomatoes, add extra egg, and ask for easy lettuce and it comes out perfect for me every time. The extra egg makes it even more filling without feeling too heavy. The Caesar Wrap is another favorite, especially when I want something quick and easy to eat on the go. And you can't go wrong with the Chicken Caesar Salad! It's simple, fresh, and satisfying.

I've been a loyal customer of this location for over four years, so writing this review is…read moredisappointing. I once loved their food and frequently recommended this restaurant to others. Last year, I found a dead gnat in my salad but decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, I ordered my usual "Thai It Up" salad, and the chicken tasted extremely bitter with a strange, gooey texture. I immediately spit it out and threw away the entire salad. Rather than leave a negative review, I emailed management to express my concerns and give them an opportunity to respond. To this day, I have not received a single reply or acknowledgment. To make matters worse, a coworker visited the following week and also mentioned that their salad didn't seem fresh. What disappoints me most isn't just the decline in food quality, but the complete lack of customer service and accountability. After four years of loyalty, I expected at least the courtesy of a response. It's unfortunate to see a restaurant I once loved fall below its previous standards. Sadly, I will not be returning. Loyal customers deserve better.

Our server was a little green in terms of his interpersonal skills but we tried to tease the recticence out of him...semi-successfully! Our meal, which was more like a snack since we were in town for a late night performance and needed a place to light, was the perfect meal. Somehow word got out that it was our first visit to this Lazy Dog, and one of the line cooks appeared at our table to welcome us. He was very impressive and welcoming; we were a bit taken aback by the proactive hospitality. He said he'd like to welcome us with a complimetary bowl of their Tangy BBQ chips that came with some delicious dipping sauce. We were delighted. And those chips -- OMG, not your typical homemade chip. Next, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which were awesome and delicious. Then the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that comes with greens, carrots, radish, avocado, pickled cucumbers, peanut ponzu vinaigrette and soy dipping sauce on the side . So delicious! The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL!

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate.

I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning.

This is my first review ever, as well as my first time trying Panera bread. Long story short I waited in the drive thru for about 15 min and upon ordering was recommended the pick 2 (half sandwich and soup combo) Bacon turkey bravo and tomato soup. I added avocado for an extra $1. After getting my order I drove about 3 minutes to my house only to experience the blandest/driest sandwich and sour tasting tomato soup. What made me actually write this review was the fact that although I expected a good quality sandwich for the cost of $10, is the fact that I didn't get the avocado I was charged for. I would have easily moved on with my life if I had eaten a bland sandwich and bitter soup but not giving me avocado that I paid for cmon. I will never buy another sandwich or soup from Panera bread again. read more

It is sad to see that this particular Downey Panera store employees don't live up to store mantra " Accuracy matters " Today I went to this store and order 2Asiago Bagel sandwiches, a minute after order I was called to the pickup window to informe that they have only one Asiago bagel left , that I can choose another one , so I selected the everything bagel and proceeded to wait for my order to be done. When I picked my order, I was surprised that instead to get the everything bagel they decided to give me another kind of bread. When I asked why they switched the kind of bread their answer was " we don't have anymore " I guess they assumed we don't know the difference in Paneras Bread Shame on them , I guess Accuracy and guest satisfaction doesn't Matter read more
