    I have not been to this particular Panera for several years. Only one person at the cash register, still have to figure out how to use the kiosk. I like human contact and interaction as well as find out the latest products. Ordered the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.89) which was very good. It was light and not heavy. After meeting friend over coffee, went back to order lunch for the kids. They have Value Duets for $7.99 (these are fixed item 1/2 sandwich plus soup) went for the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich with Wild Rice Soup. Soup was a tad salty. Sandwiches were awesome. Never had their bread bowls (sourdough bread) before. Saw so many photos from Yelpers so you got me ordering one with Chicken Noodle Soup. ($8.89). ***Tip- If you Taking Out or Pick Up or Carry out. Make sure you have all your items before leaving the store. The ladies who prepared the food order did not put it the Chicken Noodle Soup. That sourdough bread bowl would have been naked and lonely without the hearty soup. Tables were not clean. Had to switch tables. Did not see anyone cleaning. Bring wipes.

    For a pastry ( bear claw croissant) to be in a bag with no individual label or packaging is wild; to squeeze it and put a pack of petite cookies ON TOP OF IT is even wilder. What's worst than squished food?? the flatbread to not have THE ADVERTISED RANCH OR CHIPOTLE SAUCE IN IT. So dry cheesy bread for the win I guess. IDK If this revenge for complaining about my last order but I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN Like no sauce. AT ALL. Hopefully my refund processes but they need to do better especially for its location

    Side of chipotle sauce yummy

    I don't know how, and why this Panera only has 3 stars. I came in today to grab a quick bite , and upon arrival this place is HUGE. There was so much seating to dine in (even though my order was for pickup). There was lots of traffic but it moved very fast . The store is broken down, 1 side is ordering and the other rapid pickup. The restaurant was also very clean, I saw a nice man sweeping up before my exit . I honestly waited no longer than 10 minutes over my pickup time for my food, and given it was busy that was no problem for me . I was even offered 2 cookies for the wait which I declined but really appreciated the kind gesture. I ordered the chipotle chicken and avocado sandwich which was amazinggggg, with the chipotle sauce on the side . I also ordered a half of a tuna sandwich, which was also really good and large portioned both sandwiches were very fresh. Anytime I'm back on these sides of town I will definitely stop back in. Great customer , and fresh food you can't go wrong .

    Tomato soup

    Ordered delivery thanks to the "spend fifteen get ten dollar off" promotion. Got a full grilled cheese and a tomato soup bowl. Can't say the grilled cheese lived up to its name because it was far from grilled. Barely cooked on the exterior and was still smushy like any ol' white bread. American cheese smacked between some white bread is not the worth 7-9ish bucks (but I guess that's Panera for you). The tomato soup is plenty and I plan on making my own grilled cheese and eating it together (I'm sure I can get a couple more sandwiches out of it). The service at the store is really great and that's about the only good part of the overall general experience.

    The pastries of Panera Bread are decent and we visit there every one to two weeks when we don't have any idea what to eat for breakfast. We have subscribed to their unlimited coffee plan for months and this was our first time seeing that all the coffee wasn't served in hot & fresh. Hence, we were disappointed with their service at this location. The indoor dining is currently available and their safety procedures for COVID-19 is pretty good. The staff checked temperature for every customer and kept social distance between tables.

    Love this restaurant! Their app and kiosk come in handy especially when you don't feel like going to their cashier. I'm a big fan of their pick two option. I got their chicken Caesar salad with avocado since they ran out of croutons and chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich with extra chicken. Also got a side order of their chicken noodle soup I enjoy as well. Always a good time when I eat from here. First time trying their juices..and I liked their Strawberry lemon Mint with Guarana & caffeine the most.

    After shopping for furniture for my new apartment I took my mom here to pickup dinner. She's never had Panera Bread so I wanted her first time to be memorable. We opted for our orders to be to-go. We were beyond exhausted and wanted to get home in a jiffy. We were greeted and treated so nicely by the young lady who worked the register. She took her time to explain the combos to my mom and what certain items contained. My mom ordered half steak & argula sandwich with a small lobster Mac & cheese. I ordered a full bacon turkey bravo sandwich. Once we got home we decided to dig in. My mom couldn't stop raving about her sandwich. She liked her Mac and cheese sans the lobster claw. It was extremely fishy and salty. We were both under the impression that the Mac and cheese would have sliced up lobster pieces mixed in, however we were sadly mistaken. She also stated that the Mac and cheese was a little too cheesy for which says a lot because she loves cheese. My bacon turkey bravo sandwich was on the bland side. I couldn't enjoy it because it was dry and lacked condiments. I tried jazzing it up but I ended up tossing it.

    Broccoli cheddar soup with cesear salad

    This Panera is extremely fresh, clean kept, and provides excellent service. There is a giant fee parking lot which is very convenient especially being in queens. They have the kiosks to self order and it is very convenient. My favorite thing to have Panera is the broccoli Cheddar soup with caesar salad ( add avocado). This Panera is my absolute favorite Panera and I would highly recommend

    Yuk!

    Panera usually has pretty good coffee. This place does not. Extremely watered down, and virtually tasteless. If you want a better cup of coffee, go to a gas station. Service was good, and the place was clean, but what good is that when the coffee is only suitable for pouring down the drain.

    Chunks of frozen chicken.
    Samantha N.

    Chunks of frozen chicken in my salad. They made the small mac & cheese even smaller, as well as the salad dressing cup. Panera, you have the damn nerve to ask if I wanna tip the staff when they don't wait on you- they stand there and throw frozen chicken in salads. Get real.

    See all

    I did a delivery of 2 sandwiches recently, and both arrived fresh and packed well. I got the "Aged…read moreto perfection" which was prosciutto, and the "US open fan favorite" which was roasted chicken breast. Both came with generous amounts of meat, not too saucy either which sometimes makes sandwiches soggy. I got the regular sub size which I ate half of. It can easier feed 2 people! I could have done without sundried tomatoes in the prosciutto sandwich but overall it was very delicious. I would get it again, or try a hot sandwich variant next time.

    At one time this place was a force...now it's left somewhat of a lackluster feeling all the way…read moredown Austin St. I was in the area for an event and I needed food stat! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a sandwich from Stacked since I haven't had one in a while. I I walked in and waited to be greeted while the staff chatted and gazed at me for about 5ish minutes or so. Finally, I'm acknowledged and asked "what can I get for you". I saw they had a Thanksgiving sandwich called the "Gobbler". I asked how long they would have it as even though it's the November special, sometimes places might make it last through the holidays. When asked I was told "it will be available until whenever November ends". This whole interaction made me feel so unwelcome. It didn't look like there was much going on there in the relm of orders, but it still took them a while to make my sandwich. Finally they bring it to the front counter. Pack it in paper and a paper bag and I'm off. I didn't have much time to eat so I scarfed it down in my car before heading down Queens Blvd. It was very good. Not my favorite, but def has potential. I also feel like, though this is a nice sized sandwich, they were a bit stingy this time around. I would say the star was the stuffing. It just tied everything together. As you all know, I love a good sandwich shop. I wish this was as good as it once was to me. Not sure if I'll give it one more shot just yet.

    Absolutely lives up to the hype!…read more The pastrami is insanely tender like melt in your mouth kind of good. The sandwich is definitely messy, but that's how you know it's done right when its packed and stacked with meat! Even with a line out the door, the guys behind the counter cutting the meat are friendly and keep things moving. They even hand out samples while you wait, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming (and honestly makes the wait easier).

    Update: I've finally tried the pastrami. The sandwiches are huge. We got the pastrami cheese…read morefries, and a corned beef reuben. The pastrami is really good and is very tender. The fries are steak fries, which I don't typically love but it worked well as a vehicle for the pastrami. The corned beef is a bit dry. We had some pierogies but these were superrrr oily. We also ordered a matzoh ball soup because I've never had it before. But the second I saw them microwave it in a plastic container, I knew I had made a mistake. It was basically just a matzoh ball in very salty chicken bouillon water. I'm sad that was my first matzoh ball soup experience but am not deterred from finding a real one elsewhere. Based on my previous visit and this one, it seems like you should just stick to a classic pastrami sandwich. It's big enough to share between two people. Next time, I'd like to dine in and eat it fresh. The sandwiches also come with a bunch of pickles, which was nice. Tip #1 - there is a parking lot but because there are so many stores and it's next to Bratek Deli, it's a nightmare. It did also happen to be Good Friday, so maybe that made it worse? I don't remember it being that bad the first time around. Tip #2 - I called ahead to place my order but still had to wait 15 minutes extra after the quoted time. They prioritize walk-in customers, so you might as well just order in store.

I like their sandwiches, but the bread is where it needs a huge upgrade. My most recent purchase was the Bon Jour, which had delicious thinly sliced ham, brie cheese, artichoke, and dijon mustard. However, for a sandwich named after the French, the bread is not befitting. If they can fix that problem, their rating would easily be 4 stars.

    I wanted to place an order here for the longest time after trying a catered sandwich at a birthday…read moreparty, which was incredible. Entering the store, which is a long and a narrow yet fairly sun-lit location, the two employees seem flabbergasted. We placed an order online and I'm not sure if it's because it's the beginning of lunch time but they seemed disorganized. Then we finally got our sandwich and I said we'll eat right at the few spots by the window. Incredibly convenient. Asked if they could cut it in half since we wanted to try it fresh on the spot. One guy was friendly, the other was lukewarm. I had to explain, it's our first time ordering so will understand to clarify instructions in the online order to have it cut in half in the future. Besides the customer interaction, the sandwich is pretty good. Great crunch in the bread, ingredients are just enough (not like Stacked but good enough to fill you up). It's certainly a great option for sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Probably better to order online than in person as they can be busy just making sandwiches and not be able to tend to in-person interactions as quickly.
