Skimped steak and wake.
Anthony T.

Panera used to be reliable, but lately it feels like you're paying full price for half portions. Today was another disappointing visit. My wife ordered an iced coffee through the app, simple enough, yet it showed up warm. We also ordered a steak and white sandwich with extra steak and added avocado. They charged almost $5 extra, but the avocado was barely a quarter of one, and the meat was practically nonexistent. The oatmeal wasn't any better. It came with almost no strawberries or fruit and was only filled halfway. We also ordered a bagel, which was the only thing they got right, but considering it's premade, it's pretty hard to mess that up. While I was waiting, another customer also had part of their order missing, something they had paid extra for. The manager seemed to give them a hard time about it instead of just fixing the issue, which came off as unprofessional. For what Panera charges, the portions, accuracy, and customer service just aren't matching the price. This location is consistently hit or miss, and unfortunately, it's mostly a miss.

Cinnamon rolls

My husband bought 4 cinnamon rolls and a brownie which cost 25.99!! Not only an outrageous price but the cinnamon rolls were tiny and hard. Never again!!

It's my first time here, the place is pretty big and was busy. The lady who took my order was super nice. While I waited for my food, I washed my hands in the restroom, and it was clean. People who worked here were super friendly and nice. This is the first time I placed an order to go, and the lady handed it to me. I was shocked. The bagels were fresh and nicely toasted, not burnt. I felt like the people who worked here took their time to make sure your order is done right.

this is after returning to Panera to get my sandwich made correctly. It's all bread sauce and tomatoes. No meat and a ton of rock salt on it

I've ordered from location store about six times in the last month. Three of the six orders have been wrong and caused me to back to get my order fixed. If you plan on ordering food from this location, plan on spending hours doing it! The worst thing is they don't offer you a coupon or a free sandwich for you having to spend 25 minutes out of your day going back to the location to get your food remade. Corporate better change this quick. Update: I just got back to my house with my sandwich and there was no meat on the sandwich and a ton of rock salt. I'm not sure what's going on at this location with the manager's name was Ari and she was extremely rude and seemed bothered that I came back because my order was wrong. You cannot have kids as managers. There's plenty of college graduates out there that can run a store properly and thoroughly. There's a very few 18 year-old kids. I can do it. I would demote this girl quickly.

Bacon Double Take

Service was slow, food expensive for what was being offered. Every table I wanted to sit at was dirty, and it was early in the morning so they probably didn't clean them from the day before. Don't waste your time going there because you will be disappointed.

Cheerful greeting and delicious sandwiches made for a pleasant lunch en route to San Francisco

Here is the half sandwich with the "bowl"
Jean V.

Food is good. Not really any service because younpre order, and pick it up yourself ‍ But ordered a pickn2 with a full sized bowl of soup instead of a cup. So I got the "bowl" but not a bowl full by any means. I guess this was a learning experience. (A bowl means bigger charge, not portion). Ambiance? It's fine. But music is loud and nit pleasant. Just sayin

So I will preface this review by saying that I am an absolute fan of Panera anyway. However this location was very clean and well maintained... especially in spite of how busy it was. I was here On a Friday at lunchtime. There was a constant flow of traffic. Thankfully they had the bagels we wanted for the next 3 days and I was able to get them quickly before someone else did. The service was super prompt and the team members were very friendly. The manager was a hustler - she walked around continually working cleaning tables, serving customers, cleaning the dining room et cetera. Because of the coupon I had she needed to come over in assist and she was extraordinarily helpful. The food was fresh and served warm. I got the broccoli cheddar soup because it's my absolute favorite. If you're curious about the flatbreads the chicken bacon is really good as well. If you want a grilled or hot sandwich the frontega chicken is to die for. I also like the Asian chicken salad. The dressing is amazing you should try it. I love dipping baguette in the dressing and soup! You get a choice of apple, chips or baguette. I prefer baguette because they make bread fresh. The food is clean here i believe... Now I'm also a part of the sip club its worth it to me.. i stop by panera every day on my way to work back home. The Passion Papaya Green Tea... is... well... addicting. Adding room in this location is actually larger than I expected. Overall this location feels spacious and airy. If you're in the area give it a try.

That right is IT!

Usually when I pass through this part of the road, I go to the store next-door. However, I have come to appreciate more of the style of service and food that Panera has. We were served with friendly service, and everything on the menu as well as the products behind the display were listed Very well for your convenience. There is the option to order with a cashier or to order on a device. I picked up the oatmeal and a cup of hot chocolate and that meal held me over well until I got into about four hours of my drive. The oatmeal was delicious! It was cooked to perfection and the highlights of fruits and nuts gave it the accent it needed to make it unique.the next time you pass through here, do yourself a favor and go to Panera instead of Starbucks. While Panera may not have a drive-through, there is less of a wait time and the food is way more wholesome than their next-door neighbors. Enjoy!

Black hair under my sandwich in the wrapper. Disgusting.

DELICIOUS!!! Absolutely delicious. The place is clean,…read moreorganized but the food is amazing!!! The chicken is freshly made - worth the wait. Great price for the combo plates. The baba ganoush is my favorite but the food was perfect! The woman was kind and attentive. Had asked her some questions about some dried herbs she had and she was patient in explaining. They had a sale of dried herbs for $1.50 which is cheap! They sell many other items that i dont know about lol

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in south county!…read more The food at Olives is delicious- especially the kofta and the beef/lamb gyro plates. Their baba ganoush is my personal favorite- I only wish they were a little more generous with the serving size! I also really appreciate that they offer smaller appetizers like lentil soup and samosas, which makes it easy to sample a few things or build a lighter meal. Everything is flavorful, well-seasoned, and made with care. When you walk in, you order and pay on a tablet, which is quick and convenient. They've messed up on my order once or twice, so it's worth double-checking your food, but it was never a big deal and definitely wouldn't stop me from returning. The restaurant setup is a bit unconventional: the seating consists of tables in the middle of a small market filled with imported goods. That being said, it's actually part of the charm and gives the place a cozy/casual vibe. Can't wait to come back!

Walking in the lady greets you and allows you to select your own seat. It isn't packed at all. The waitress is very kind. My bf ordered the chili verde burrito and I ordered the chicken bacon sandwich. Our food was absolutely amazing. The chili verde had the softest meat I've ever had (yes, I stole some off his plate!). The flavors were very authentic, the colors vibrante and the taste was like homemade with love. My chicken sandwich also didn't disappoint. I decided on a salad so can't rate any fries. The chicken was delicious perfectly seasoned and not dry AT ALL. We also ordered the chips and guacamole that was the best I've had anywhere. Extremely fresh feels like it was made to order. We drove home and enjoyed our large amount of left overs (because the portions are large) for dinner and it was still amazing!!! We will be back just to visit Dany's!

Dany's offers basic breakfast and lunch options- with some interesting daily specials. I have been here a few times now ,and ordered the same thing both times. I opted for the chile verde and eggs with country potatoes and beans. Not the best chile verde I have ever tried , but not bad. I like the double carb combo with the beans and potatoes. I order my eggs over medium to get the yolk blended in there with the chile verde. My breakfast including tip came out to about 25.00. I feel like this place is a little pricey for a breakfast spot , but it is a step up from Denny's. I'll be back , but will have a hard time ordering something new as I know what to expect from the chile verde breakfast.

I asked for a hot pastrami and provolone, and the worker told me I could only order the sandwiches listed on the menu. So I tried ordering one of their sandwiches with pastrami and removing the other meats. Then suddenly he tells me I can order a custom sandwich (completely contradicting what he said earlier). When my food finally came out, it wasn't even hot pastrami. I paid premium prices for a sandwich that was honestly WACK. Definitely not worth the money or the frustration.

He let us know where we could find the menu up close, as opposed to the giant one listed above us. My partner and I decided to go with the Cowboy Pizza and the Pesto Pasta. BOTH OF THESE FOOD ITEMS WERE SPLENDED!! Compliments to the chef, seriously. We really wanted to pair our food with lemonade, but they did have any like they listed on the menu. We ended up going with two ciders from "2 TOWNS CIDERHOUSE." My cider was POG Cosmic Crisp but unfortunately it was a little flat and not as enjoyable. My partner got the Mango Cosmic Crisp and he enjoyed his better. I wish they had lemonade, or I wish I would've just stuck to a water cup or a different type of beverage. They have a lot of options for 21+ but they also have a Stubborn Soda Machine with 8 different flavors. There is plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors! The inside is decorated with lights, plants, and a majority of the seats are a nice brown leather. Overall, it was wonderful.

I chose cornbread, baked beans, and coleslaw. The burnt ends are by far my favorite! They were so flavorful and absolutely the most perfect texture. Not too much fat, but so much flavor! The ribs were also delicious. They weren't "fall off the bone", but not everyone likes that anyways. I thought they were amazing! The baked beans were fine, I was expecting them to be sweeter but now I know. Next time I'll get the potato salad. I got to try it and it was delicious and unique. The coleslaw was good and fresh, perfect crunch. It was a nice contrast in flavor with all the meat and barbecue sauce. The cornbread is not the sweet kind. Which is nice because you can put your own butter and honey on it to your liking. They have an awesome selection of beers in the fridge and some on tap as well. I will definitely be coming again, and soon!
