    Lemon drop cookie
    Alesa W.

    It was my first time back at Panera since covid. I love Panera not sure why I stopped but it was always a fave. I went today and got a whole Fuji apple chicken salad; it's my fave salad not a huge fan of the chicken in the salad but overall it's definitely a salad I always get. What brought me by surprise and makes me sad is that they got rid of my favorite sandwich which is why I had to get a whole salad because I usually do the pick two-the tomato mozzarella sandwich was my go to! OMG why did they get rid of it?! None of the other sandwiches compare, ugh such a good sandwich. It had been so long since I've been I forgot to get an apple with my salad instead of bread. Tried their lemon drop cookie and it's was delicious, all in all my lunch was good and although disappointed in my sandwich being gone, I will be back!

    A ridiculously small half Greek salad!
    Karen S.

    Every time I visit Panera bread, I order the same thing a Greek salad. I was shocked to discover that the size of the bowl has decreased, and the portion was ridiculously, ashamedly, embarrassingly small. I complained, which I never do. The manager claimed they were always this size. Do they think we are all fools? After ordering this salad for over 15 years in multiple locations around the country I know that this isn't the size it's always been. Is lettuce really that expensive?

    Toasted Steak and White Cheddar Sandwish
    Kristin D.

    I ordered food through the Panera app and was really looking forward to my steak sandwich. However, it was missing all the toppings except a small amount of cheese. The horseradish sauce and onions make this sandwich special so it was disappointing that they were missing. My mother ordered the same thing, her toppings were also missing and she barely had any steak on her sandwich. I'm used to better quality from Panera. Not sure if it's just this location or a bad day.

    Iced Green Tea

    Great place for a early morning snack and refreshment before going shopping. This location is always super sparkling clean. The food is fresh not usually crowded, easy to get in and order grab a seat and pick up food and relatively relaxing atmosphere. The refillable teas a good bonus to take one for the ride out. The girlfriend loves the soups and I have been making the flat bread pizzas my thing lately.

    This is the soup I was given. The ring of soup in the bowl is from me carrying it to my table. note the couple shreds of cheese in the soup

    I ordered French Onion soup. The soup had four croutons floating on top with no melted cheese. The bowl was large and the portion small. When I tasted the soup, it was very salty and lukewarm, No Where Close to the temperature that hot soup legally must be served at. I asked the woman working why there was no melted mozzerella cheese on top of toasted bread (it is a bread company after all). She said customers don't like the melted cheese on top!! She then sprinkled 1 tablespoon of cheese shreds on top of the croutons. Where the heck did they get this crappy recipe and such awful execution?

    Typically Panera is a solid choice for any meal of the day. But the last time I went was the most lack luster lunch that I've ever received. Thankfully they are a chain restaurant so the food tastes the same pretty much every time . That being said the soup I ordered was on par but the sandwich I ordered was loveless. It didn't taste like anything and the meats were so cold they must have just been taken out of the freezer. I'm still going 4 stars because honestly as long as I go to Panera and get the soup and some bread that will always put a smile on my face.

    Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and Broccoli Cheddar Soup from the "You Pick 2" menu
    Shed-laure R.

    Everyone raves about Panera but I wasn't impressed. I've only eaten Panera bread about 3 times before and couldn't remember my experiences there so I was up for trying it again with my group of friends. I ordered from the "You Pick 2" menu, which is misleading by the way. The price in green next to "You Pick 2" makes you think that's the price of the meal, when in fact it's just the cost of the half sandwich. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with the broccoli cheddar soup. I understand that it was half of a sandwich but it was so tiny! It was barely the size of my palm. I couldn't believe that was $5.80. I expected it to be a bit spicy or at least a little kick to it being that the name included "chipotle" but there was no kick whatsoever so I was disappointed by that. The avocado was really fresh and was a great taste to the tiny sandwich. The soup was good but not as flavorful as I expected. We were a large group of 9, so we were kind of squished in a tight corner. Maybe more room would be great in such a busy restaurant. Overall, I was disappointed. I don't see myself visiting any Panera Bread restaurant soon.

    I love me some Panera bread! They make fresh bread that is so delicious to your senses it is almost a shame to take advantage of their outside seating, or it would be if you wanted to be selfish and leave the family dog at home. Panera Bread offers anything you could want in my opinion. They have frozen drinks, delicious sandwhiches [that come with a pickle!] , baked goods and yummy soups. I like to get mine in a bread bowl as it is satisfying to see a completely empty plate.

    We recently visited and were honestly really impressed. First off, a little over $1 for a soda…read morethese days is almost unheard of, so we were excited about the prices right away. My husband and I shared the dumplings and both loved them. The texture was perfect and the flavor was really good. The portions overall felt like a great size and everything tasted freshly made. I ordered the pork fried rice and really enjoyed dipping it into the house made dumpling sauce, which honestly made the meal even better. Our waitress was very pleasant, and made sure we had what we needed. The vibe inside was very quiet, cozy, and romantic, making it a really nice spot for a relaxed date night. The restaurant was also extremely clean, which we always appreciate, and there was plenty of easy parking. We'll definitely be back once they add the ramen noodles to the menu!

That said, the vegetable fried rice and dumplings were both a 5 out of 5. The dumpling dipping sauce was honestly one of the best I have ever had and really stood out. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The space is on the smaller side, which was fine since we went during a slower time. We were not able to choose our table, which would have been nice, and while you are not right on top of other people, the tables are close enough that it can be hard to have a private conversation. There were a couple things that held it back. I was served a drink that was close to eight months expired. I did not make a big deal about it and still drank it, but that is something they definitely need to stay on top of. Also, the menu said Pepsi products but only Coke was available. With better inventory checks and a more updated menu, this place could easily be a five star spot. It is just not quite there yet.

    I broke my yelp hiatus just to post about this meal. This is the best grilled pork I've ever had,…read moreand as you can tell from the photo, the portion size is WELL worth the $15. Oh my god, I took a single bite and didn't speak to my friend for 15 minutes as I continued munching it down. It was amazing. The vermicelli comes underneath this mound of pork holy grail, and while I'm used to having my vermicelli with these bowls cold and a bit thinner, and there being significantly more noodles than meat ratio, I'm thrilled to say that not this bowl - this bowl was 60% pork, 30% noodle, and 10% veggie. I'm taking every bite with 2-3 pieces of pork. I'm soaking up the juices with the noodles. I'm crunching on a few cucumbers to balance it out. I'm savoring every piece. Absolutely wonderful. I'm so excited to go back and try every one of their dishes. The restaurant itself is small, located inside of a shared mini-food court place with a pasta-to-go restaurant and a boba tea shop, and has a really cute sitting area. There is a nice older lady who works the front/takes orders/delivers the food. Well worth trying to fight to find university parking just to eat here.

The portions are generous and the food is really tasty. The service was great and I absolutely adore the old Vietnamese couple who run this eatery. They do a great job making sure all their guests are satisfied and have a good experience. The owners knew a lot of the people who were coming in to eat. I found this to be a good sign of positive, constants business. The inside isn't too big, but there is seating, and it is kept clean. Ordering is simple--you can either order takeout or order at the counter and eat there. I wouldn't necessarily call this a sit-down, more of a casual eatery. The menu isn't huge, but there is surely something for everyone between entrees and appetizers. The appetizers could easily be a meal for one as well. I ended up opting for the Vietnamese Crepe which consisted of an Ulta-thin crisp rice flour crepe, filled with savory pork, shrimp, earthy herbs, bean sprouts, and crisp lettuce. I didn't know what expect as I've never indulged in Vietnamese food, but this was delightful! The crepe was super thin, with crisp edges. The inside was filled with some pork and shrimp, and ample amounts of both bean sprouts and onions. I could have done for some more meat and less of the onions specifically as they were a little overpowering. I really enjoyed the lite sauce it came with as it tied the flavors together. This was a lot more filling than I was expecting too. Overall, I was surprised and impressed with the whole experience! The food was great, but the service was even better. The prices were also unbeatable, especially concerning how much food you get. I really enjoyed eating here and most definitely will be returning to try more of their menu. A lot of people seem to enjoy the Pho, so I might need to order that next time! I will be back for sure and I would recommend to anyone in the area.

My favorite is their red, but you can't go wrong with anything. While their food isn't spicy at all, even when ordering spicy, it's fine, because the flavors of their dishes are naturally prominent and mouthwatering. Service can be spotty depending on your waiter, but the food is always worth it to me. I've never been when it wasn't full of customers, even on random times on random weekdays, so it's nice to see Gainesville knows how delicious this place is. The interior is fine, nothing stand out, but its unique location (next to the motel) and weird parking lot definitely makes it a fun experience. I love this place, it's delicious, and definitely one of my favorites.
