Stopped in at Panera for a quick lunch and tried the Chicken Roma Asiago Stack -- I was genuinely impressed. It might be my favorite sandwich they've had since the turkey artichoke (and that's saying a lot after more than a decade). It was flavorful without being too heavy. I paired it with a cup of French onion soup, which was also delicious. The downside was the service. It felt almost non-existent. We ended up ordering at the kiosk because no one was at the register. Seating was what you'd expect from a typical Panera, and parking was easy. Overall, the food was great, but the company could do a better job with customer service, especially since it's positioned as more than just fast food. read more

I do on occasion order a sandwich from Panera Bread online. I like to try new things, but I have settled on a favorite that is customized to my satisfaction. So, I ordered it, added a cookie, and went to pick it up where it was waiting for me. The only problem I have is that they ask me what time I plan to pick something up before I can order it. I would prefer to figure out what I am going to order, then put in the time I plan to pic it up. read more

Placing an order at this Panera location is tedious beyond belief. Have to repeat everything three times, then wait while the dumas repeats everything back two times, and still end up with missing stuff in the bag. They never put extra stuff in the bag, they make you pay for stuff you don't get. Bad place--don't expect very much from them. read more

The food was greasy and appeared as if the food was just throw together. The service workers we short and a little rude. The ambiance of the lobby was ok but tables, and floors were dirty. The mango smoothie was good so I am giving it two star. But I wouldn't recommend coming here. You are better spending your money somewhere else read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! Ordered 1 1/2 dozen bagels on website. Delivered one dozen via DoorDash driver. Repeated calls to store go unanswered. When they finally answered, they blamed DoorDash. DoorDash said the order wasn't placed thru them so call Panera. When they finally said okay, we will make it right, BUT you have to come pick them up. Ridiculous. This was supposed to be a celebration at work for a returning coworker. Never again Panera. read more

It doesn't matter which Panera Bread we go to, the orders include almost the same thing every time. A strawberry smoothie. My youngest loves the strawberry smoothie from Panera Bread. I really like using the kiosks inside for when I order because it remembers my favorites list. Every Panera looks similar, not a ton of frills. The drink stations are nice because you can refill your drink before leaving. The open kitchen is nice because you can talk to a person in the event you have a question or issue. My food might not always be the best, but as long as the Strawberry Smoothie continues to be made the exact same way at every location, I will continue to give 5 stars because you made my kids day. read more

This Panera is in the midst of a large shopping center area with tons of things around. We stopped for lunch earlier today (and I think have a few times while on this route to DC or back) and had some delicious, fresh salads. They were ready very quickly and had fresh ingredients and staff were friendly. Standard Panera - but it's clean and was well-stocked in the pastry department and tea. read more

Asked daughter to bring me a salad from Panera bread. I said I want fresh avocado, as she was on the phone when she placed the order I heard her say fresh avocados please. $14.50 wasted, Avocado looks like it has black mold and a gray fungus, smh. Daughter tried to get refund over the phone as we live too far away, but management refused. It was a Fuji salad with added avocado. I don't know where this salad was before my daughter bought it, but I'm not eating it. Examined the salad and found mixed greens brown. One lid of two on the salad dressing , smeared with something, not salad dressing. I spoke to Candace, not the manager my daughter spoke too earlier which informed me , I can get a refund anytime we are in the area again. She said the refund owed is written in a book. She was very sweet and apologetic. read more

Panera Bread has great food choices and the cutest booths to eat in. I gave this location 2 stars because the staff was not really into their jobs. No smiles for any customers, constant griping about their work hours, their boss, boring routine, they were bothered by my questions about the Take 2 menu, basically they did not want to be there and they let us know. The tables and floors were not clean. We wiped down the booth we wanted and brushed the crumbs from the seats onto a few napkins. The trash area was full of dishes that needed to be taken to the back and washed. Our food was served to us as haphazardly as they could get away with and still call it soup and a 1/2 sandwich. The ingredients were slapped up on the bread without a plan or care. I realigned it so I could get an even bite. The soup was good. We left feeling like we spent Panera money for a 7-eleven meal, not fun. Panera is usually great just not in this location. read more

My husband and I went to Panera in Central Park with my granddaughter and all I wanted was a BLT. The cashier asked if I wanted avocado & I said yes. I was charged $12.99. When my order came up it looked like all chicken. I said all I wanted was a BLT. The girl that took my order said there wasn't a button option for a BLT, so she ordered the Chicken, Avocado, BLT. She then said I should have told her I didn't want chicken, while she complained to her coworkers that it wasn't her fault. I reiterated that I just wanted a BLT, so they removed the Chicken and brought me the sandwich with 1 broken up piece of bacon spread out, 2 pieces of wilted spring lettuce that looked like sea weed and tomato, no avocado. When I looked confused, the cashier said they could only use the portions that were allotted for each sandwich. Finally, she did bring me a cup with broken pieces of bacon for my sandwich. It was the worst sandwich I'd ever had! Plus, we have been regulars since this restaurant opened and no one ever cleans the bathrooms! The floors have 20 years of dirt on them and the toilets are filthy, filthy, filthy! I have complained, but no one cares! I was hopeful when this store was remodeled, but alas, nothing was ever done to the bathrooms. read more

This store has always been to the standard I expect of a Panera Bread. Today I came here for breakfast right at 10:00. The older gentleman in front of me came to purchase a $100 gift card. He was obviously a regular and the staff member at the bakery was very patient and caring towards this nice gentleman. She then apologized to me for my wait. She was gracious and gave me the soufflés I enjoy so much. I think this lady was concentrating on customer service, so maybe they are turning around. read more

The food is consistently great tasting. I had the Fuji apple with chicken salad. My half sandwich was the beef steak and cheddar. It is what I get every time. I have the iced green tea. The service is prompt with ordering and then the food is ready in minutes. It is normally easy to find a quiet section to enjoy the food. read more

Do not bother with the broccoli cheddar Mac and cheese - I placed order for the large- when I received this in drive thru I looked at it and asked the girl about the amount - 'this is a large and it's barely half full ' she had no response so I asked again and she still didn't have an answer . The large is 10$. Expected to be a full bowl. Then to top it off got a sandwich with hardly any meat! Ridiculous. Pay a lot more to be 'Healthier' Frustrating! read more

Zero stars would be more accurate. I have never gone to this Panera on Patriot Hwy without them screwing up my order. I am always patient. Went to pick up an order I made 2 weeks ago for a party. They didn't have what I ordered and the manager BRITTANY was incredibly rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. IT IS NOT WORTH going to this Panera. The one in Central Park is 1000 times better. Brittany is an embarrassment to Panera. Don't waste your time going to Panera on Patriot Hwy.You won't get the correct order and you'll have an ignorant unprofessional idiot behaving in a way that should make Panera's management question her employment. read more

Hey Panera management, I was just there and placed a to go order. When I got home I discovered one of the salads I ordered was not in the bag. Not too big a deal, figured I'd call and ask for a remedy. Four times I called and each time it rang and rang until it just disconnected. I've been a customer of yours for years. I'm done with you. I could forgive the mistake, but the lack of an ability to call that in is UNACCEPTABLE. I paid nearly 10 bucks for the salad. Keep it. You lost in the long run. Hugh Kanter read more

This restaurant is attractive and clean, but they are frequently out of baguettes--which are the main ingredient of many of their featured sandwiches! I are here today and they were also out of other varieties of bread, too! This isn't a one time thing--there is a definite problem here, in a restaurant with the word "bread" in its name! read more

I usually love Panera bread but I was definitely disappointed My soup was cold when I picked it up and bread my burnt The restaurant was not appealing or clean. The drink station was really sticky and I was just disappointed overall read more

The staff is always friendly, the tables are clean, and food is exactly what I asked for.

i have given them THREE tries and each time they have forgotten something, got something wrong, did the order half ass, or just simply threw a whole bunch of random stuff together and hoped for the best. today EVERY SINGLE item of my meal was messed up in some sort of way. 1. ordered: pick 2 with margarita pizza and a half greek salad with two added hard boil eggs what i got: pick 2 with a slice tomato pizza and a quarter/side sized greek salad with NO eggs. PICTURES INCLUDED 2. i also ordered a sandwich for someone else and they couldn't be bothered to cut it in half as they always do. PICTURES INCLUDED absolutely DO NOT recommend this panera and if you do, definitely check your order BEFORE you leave the store! read more

A little pricey for the food and amount you get. I do have to say that. My complaints aside, Panera Bread, I am quite fond of its soups and various bakery items. I cannot say I dislike anything from that section. Salads and sandwiches can be better. Love it. Self service is a breeze. Cafe is clean and looks lovely from an inside and outside perspective read more

I cant express how much I love panera The bbq chicken salad is my favorite. The Flatbread pizzas, white cheddar Mac and cheese, chili. Or a bearclaw and oatmeal and berries cookie from the bakery! read more

We stopped in to get a sandwich for our daughter who was at home, and I decided to get one too. I saw the two for one price, and decided on a half sandwich and salad to go. What they dont tell you is that it's two items but EACH is ONE price...separately! What a dipsh!t way to advertise. Anyway, the portions are ridiculously small for the cost, and the sandwich they prepared for my daughter was insulting! read more

The great thing about Panera is the flexibility of the food. I love their salads and always gravitate to the Greek salad add tuna and then they allow you to add other ingredients such as spinach or avocados. Not only is the food flexible but the ways you order from your app to ordering stations and for dine in they bring it right to the table. Rapid pickup is also a awesome benefit. read more

Worst quality control of any of the are Paneras. Always something missing from and order. Today it was the dressings for the Fujii Apple Chicken salad. Also, in the evening they're always out of some of their breads and pastries. Poor management read more

I was NOT impressed. I visited this location for the first time and jeez, this is probably the worst one I've ever been to. My salad was wilted and just nasty. I waited in the drive-through line forever and they didn't record my phone number so the points didn't even get registered for the visit. I gave the place 2 stars because it has a drive-through and my green tea was pretty good. I'd say if you have other options, use them! read more

Panera at Cosner Corners could not even make a grilled cheese sandwich. I wanted grilled cheese and tomato sandwich but instead was given two pieces of bread loaded with uncooked bacon (of which I'm allergic) a half piece of cheese and blackened pieces of rotten tomato. I reordered and got two pieces of bread with the blackened rotten tomato pieces and a half piece of cheese. They can't even make a grilled cheese right! Stay clear of this poor excuse of a restaurant read more

Been getting lunch here for a few years, and really had no problem until recently. My last couple orders were green goddess salads. The last one had no pickled onions. Okay, no big deal. They run out of ingredients sometimes. Today's not only had no pickled onions, but also the wrong dressing. Maybe it's my fault for not opening the bag and checking how the salad was made before I drove away, but I think I'll be taking my business elsewhere for awhile. read more

This is a nationwide chain restaurant that offers up premium quality sandwiches at low prices. In rural areas like Spotsylvania, this is the best sandwich shop around. I usually opt for the half and half special choosing the Italian Combo sandwich and one of the soups. The Italian sandwich is great with the homemade ciabatta and pepperoncini really making it stand out. Some quirks with this location worth noting though: - They close at 9pm sharp. But don't be surprised to arrive at 8:59pm and find the door firmly locked. - Watch when ordering the clam chowder. On two occasions, I was served baked potato soup instead. It is similar in appearance, but costs less. - If you arrive late in the evening, the ciabatta bread usually runs out. Many of the substitutes don't work well either. I'm not sure why this is a recurring issue here. It seems like you should be able to project how much bread you will need. So given these quirks, 3.5 stars overall. read more

This Panera is close to where I live and is right around where I do most of my shopping. Having a location that is in the perfect spot for me is great and on top of that the staff is very fast, helpful, and courteous. I went in this time to get a turkey bacon bravo and I love the bread that they use for the sandwich, I'm not sure exactly what it is, bust its sooo good.The only complaint I have is that the food is a little too expensive. Personally, I think the staff's quick work makes up for this though. read more

I was home sick when my daughter picked up a bowl of soup, a 1/2 sandwich and a mitten cookie. The restaurant was sold out of pumpkin muffins and muffies. After eating my dinner, I looked through the bags and couldn't find my mitten cookie! As well, she didn't give my daughter a receipt! I tried calling the restaurant after 7pm, as suggested on the voicemail. The voicemail then said the store was having technical difficulties and my call was transferred to corporate. After a ten minute wait on this line, I hung up. I called the restaurant again at 8:15 and after several rings, the call was disconnected. This is so disappointing, hopefully a Mgr will contact me! read more

I would not feed Panera to my dog or cat. Or any pet for that matter. This Panera is consistently the worst one on the east coast. I have been to funerals with a better atmosphere (and better food). This store in particular once tried to serve me a blt with cardboard for bread hoping I would not notice. If you want a good sandwich you are better off going to downtown Fredericksburg, va and begging. read more

Oof. We ordered through Uber eats, they sent someone instead bc uber had no drivers. Took them 2 hours to drive a 10 minutes route. They didn't even bother wrapping the baguette, just threw it in there in the middle of a pandemic. The broccoli Mac and cheese as you can see for yourself had barely anything in it. The chicken salad sandwich was $10 and barely has anything on it. This is your sign not to go there. I couldn't even get a refund. You can get a better chicken salad at 7/11 read more

Very sad to see that Panera is serving kale that is turning bad. I got the modern Greek with quinoa and it just a pet peeve of mine to not serve greens that are turning bad. They leave a bitter taste and it's just doesn't hold up to the claim that they are serving fresh food. It wasn't just one leaf, it was quite a bit of the salad. Very disappointed. read more
