    I came to this Panera Bread to get some work done. This is a great place to do this. The cafe was nice and quiet with just enough noise so that I didn't feel alone. I ordered a kitchen sink cookie and a strawberry smoothie. Both hit the spot. They were out of some items because of a menu change on April 1st. The manager was very accommodating when I ordered items that they didn't have. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I look forward to coming back and trying their new menu items. I highly recommend Panera Bread.

    Standard panera location with a good amount of parking and friendly service. The interior is pretty spacious and good for casually enjoying a bite in a setting with a light level of chatter. Like every panera, there's a good selection of healthier options available at a slightly higher price point.

    Spicy Chicken melt had a lot of flavor. Southwest chicken salad with ranch I think it needed more spice. The chocolate croissants was the best part of the meal. Came during lunch it was a bit busier. The restaurant was clean.

    Two years later and they still are putting the salad dressing container inside of the container with your salad. Oh and it's not even a full serving of dressing! This time I ordered via DoorDash. I ordered the BBQ Chicken salad and was disappointed. My lettuce was mostly the hearts of the romaine, not the actual lettuce. After picking those out, I wasn't left with much. I guess the half full container of dressing was sufficient. If you're going to order using DoorDash, be aware that you can't make any modifications. Panera...please adjust that functionality. I often order my salad with half spinach and lettuce.

    water.

    the broccoli cheddar was given to us as water like what even is that i thought it was supposed to be creamy nice the flavor was like water GUARANTEE they put water in it they need some help over there.

    This is a "Toasted Steak & White Cheddar

The location was on the back of a building along Randall Rd. There was a lighted sign which helped. Yelp directions got us there. The cafe was modest size with about 6 tables. Food was ordered along a counter. Ingredients were fresh and good quality. The service was good and the staff very pleasant. The wait time for the food was appropriate considering everything was made from scratch. I ordered a Cuban sandwich. It was delicious and was served with a side (I chose potato salad). There were cucumbers, tomato, and pickle as a garnish. My friend had the California Chicken Club and commented that there was fresh chicken breast not just lunch meat. We both enjoyed having lunch there and would return again. I recommend this little cafe. They also seemed to have many customers who picked up food for carry out.

The greasy smell was a little over powering. If I could give them zero stars, I would. It was a total waste of our $45.90. Do NOT visit this establishment, you're better off flushing your money down the toilet.

They started us off with some grilled bread and butter that was perfectly toasty and warm, which I paired with a creamy soup for a great start to the meal. I also finally tried schnitzel for the first time! Along with spatzle, which I enjoyed it so much even though I didn't know what to expect! The dessert was easily the best part, though. We shared a butter pecan malt shake with chocolate fudge and it was amazing . They still use those old-school milkshake machines and bring you the extra in the metal cup, which is such a great nostalgic touch. The atmosphere inside is lovely too, especially all the framed photos of historical buildings that used to be in downtown Elgin! The staff were so friendly too. The waiter was such a sweetheart and made the experience even more enjoyable.

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more! Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.
