    A "hint of mushy chicken" in the new chicken salad sandwich. Not good at all
    Barbara P.

    Panera is... Panera. If you've been there you know what to expect, and this W Shaw location delivers it: comfortable and spacious tables, self-serve ordering and seating, the basic soup-salad-and-sandwich menu and friendly staff. I do want to give a particular shout out to the staff at this location who were all very warm and friendly and helpful. And you know -- Panera food is a bit like other large chains, in the sense that "you get what you get and it's very consistent and it's typically fine." So why only the three stars? Oh it was the chicken salad sandwich. I had been sad that Panera -- quite a while back now -- got rid of its chicken salad sandwich. It's not just my favorite thing to eat there, but it's literally the favorite of most people I know. We all loved that sandwich. And it was discontinued for reasons unknown. But then wait! "For a limited time" Panera was offering a chicken salad sandwich. You'd think it was good right? Well. It was OK but it was nothing like their old chicken salad sandwich. It was a horrible disappointment, for three reasons. 1. It is mush. Instead of the old chicken salad sandwich, which had definite chunks of chicken and other items in it, this was made of shredded chicken mush. Kind of the texture of a soggy tuna salad sandwich with low-grade flaked tuna. Extremely disappointing. 2. It tastes sweet: ugh. A little sweetness in a sandwich is ok. But this was really sweet. 3. The proportions were way off: whereas the old chicken salad sandwich had a heft amount of filling this one had, I joked with my husband, "a hint of chicken." Lettuce and thick tomato acted as filler and there wasn't much chicken. And yes, I'm aware that I'm saying "the chicken wasn't very good" AND "there wasn't much of it." But in the old sandwich, there was a lot of chicken and it was delicious: so. I doubt they'll bring back tbe old chicken sandwich. It was probably kind of expensive to make and all the Panera portions seem to be shrinking. But I wanted to warn other Panera chicken salad sandwich fans -- if you liked the old one, you're more than likely going to be horribly disappointed in this one.

    Mac and cheese  with bacon

    I haven't been at Panera since pre Covid times and I was in for a fear surprise. I tried their popular bacon avo melt. It's crispy and hits the spot on a rainy day. They have many new sandwiches. As a side I went with the bacon topped Mac and cheese and my taste buds were so happy! It was extremely flavorful and so creamy. To round about my lunch, I opted for tye cinnamon roll. I cannot explain the level of deliciousness in that dessert. So "gushy" and warm in the middle. I enjoyed every bite.

    Whenever I am craving sourdough bread I go to Panera to get a thick sliced bread bowl, it's so good with butter, I don't really order anything else.

    Birthday gets me a free reward! Thank you! Drive-thru taken. The worker was very nice! I ended up getting the pecan braid. They use your number to get the reward. Received the pecan braid after being greeted and wished happy birthday! Thank you! Great service and delicious pecan braid! Highly recommended!

    I wouldn't recommend, the food portions are small not worth your money. The friendly cashier was probably the only good thing there

    They don't tell you your order is ready when they run out of pagers. Give them your name and the food just sits there. Non helpful staff.

    This Panera ALWAYS makes mistakes, especially in the late afternoon. I'm cooking from home for now on. It's not worth the hassle anymore.

    No friendliness or greeting upon walking in. It was my first time here, I wanted to study the menu,…read morebut as I was doing so the cashier was staring at me rudely as if I was taking up too much time. Mind you it was not busy at all. I ordered a turkey and a brisket sandwich and specifically stated no barbecue sauce on the brisket. As I was waiting for the order, I went up to her just to make sure that she wasn't adding barbecue sauce like I had requested. She replied with. " yes I did and I already made the sandwich." Indicating that I had to accept the sandwich as is because she already made it. Again, very rude. It wasn't until the manager or owner came into the picture and went up to the cash register. she then proceeded to come over to me and ask kindly if I would like the sandwich remade. She only did that because of his presence. very fake. The sandwiches were both lackluster, and the brisket sandwich was extremely skimpy. I'm not sure if she did that purposefully because she was bothered. Sourdough was good though. All in all, I cannot come back here after my experience. The manager or owner was kind and gave me some coupons but I still won't return.

    I am not a sourdough fan but this place changed my mind. the sandwiches here are amazing and we go…read moreby or door dash frequently. they have really good salads and the portions are massive. i have yet to have any kind of mistake with my orders, their staff pay really god attention to details and really want to make the customer happy. i recommend trying and and you will find yourself hooked on this place.
