    Tortellini Chicken Alfredo. Chicken was few and far between.
    Megan L.

    I suppose I can sort of see why people eat here, and yet, I can't... I am currently eating here and I've already decided that I'm not coming back. I received a gift card, which is why I am here in the first place. So, I'm considering just giving the four bucks I have left to some fool in line just so that I don't feel obligated to return. 1) Service is not good. I ordered my meal, said I wanted it "to go." The cashier then proceeds to ask me if I want my cinnamon roll on a tray or in a bag. To which I replied, "in a bag..." I wait for my order, which takes 3 minutes. When I go up to retrieve it, both my orders are on plates. I paused and considered just taking it. But then I said, "Eeee can I get this to go? I had asked for it to go." The guy huffs and rolls his eyes. He's clearly pissed by the sudden inconvenience. He starts bitching to whoever is in the back, saying whoever is taking orders needs mark items to-go, followed by more mumbling and complaining. I apologize for the inconvenience and then decide that I'm going to eat my meal there because I got called for a last minute babysitting gig, which leads me to the food... 2) The pasta is not worth it. More specifically, the Alfredo tortellini. You pay $9 for a subpar meal, when you could have bought a bag of tortellini at that point and make it better yourself. I got the Italian combo, warmed for my fiancé; It comes with chips. But since I hated the pasta, I ate half. This sandwich wasn't too bad. I would recommend it. However, at $9? Again, for me, not worth it. Also, the guy who was pissed off put the sandwich together poorly. It was poorly put together on the plate and then I watched him toss it in the container. Very sloppy. 3) Pros? Free wifi so that I didn't have to waste my data writing this lame review. Place is clean. Annnnd that's all I got for pros. Haven't even bothered to try the cinnamon roll yet. So We'll see. Don't recommend this place. Won't be back.

    Caramel Pumpkin Scone - delish!
    Carrie G.

    I need to lower my expectations at all Panera locations. The bakery is hit or miss; although I must admit I've had more hits. Take today, a pumpkin caramel scone was fresh and flavorful and obviously made fresh. It was light and airy on the inside and the caramel glaze gave a nice crunch to the outside. It's the tea that challenges me every time. I don't drink coffee so tea is my steady fix. And while I adore Rishi I'm realistic enough to know it's not going to be everywhere, and especially at a regional chain. Enter Republic of Tea, which can be good. There's loose tea has some nice flavors and their previous bags also fell into the not-too-bad realm. But about two years ago something change. Not sure if it's just the tea they do for Panera, or across the board, but in an attempt to go green and make their bags from recycled paper, they've diminished the flavors of all their blends. As soon as hot water hits the brown paper pouches a terrible earthy-on-the-verge-of-rotting-smell radiates from the cup. No matter the variety, they all smell bad. And that pretty much ruins the taste of the tea. So big note to self, and anyone else that enjoys a good cup of tea; skip it here and drink something else, or nothing at all, the tea is not worth the disappointment!

    Fruit cup served not even half full.

    I have often frequent Panera especially when they were offering free coffee, which by the way I really enjoyed. I usually have a good experience as staff are very friendly. However, I decided to order a fruit cup which was not worth what they are charging especially since the fruit cup wasn't full. I called to complained and they offered to me a new fruit cup and a treat for my kids which was really sweet. I was amazed that the 2nd cup was prepared the same way. I kindly accepted it and went on my way. Everything else that I ordered was great!

    The Port Rd Bayshore location is on a downward spiral. Yet ANOTHER rapid pick up order not accurate. Missing multiple items. Love the squiggle who signed off. No answer when calling so had to drive back to get the rest of the order. Completely disgusted.

    The customer service here is awesome!!! We came in with those new age gift cards, that work at multiple locations. We came in, swiped it, tried to pay the remaining balance and then everything went a little weird. The transaction was declined, the wonderful lady taking our order brought it straight to a manager and then he took care of us, quickly and without much incident. They definitely focus on their customer service here and it shows. Can't wait to come back again.

    Food is basic and low in flavor. Restaurant is never clean. Floor is dirty. Service is distracted.

First glance at the menu, I admit I was a little unsure. Lots of unique offerings, with the Grain Bowls, Plates, Greens & Grains being made with black rice or quinoa. The latter of which I am not a fan. Still, on my first visit, I decided to try the Thai Bowl. I ended up really enjoying the black rice. The roasted veggies were tender, and the thai basil pesto had a bit of spice to it, which paired wonderfully with the subtle sweetness of the curry. The portion size was perfect, satisfying me but not leaving me full. I also tried the Ginger Tepache, which was extremely refreshing and delicious. A wonderful alternative to Kombucha if that's not exactly your thing. The restaurant is bright and airy with bar, high top and table seating. I had to wait a couple minutes before someone took my order, but once that was taken my food was ready very quickly.

Recently ordered delivery from this location, and while the delivery arrival was 40 min late (to the fault of UberEats, not Forage), it was worth the wait. I had the Golden Greek plate, a first for me, which was packed with hot honey chicken, quinoa, roasted beens, and all of the makings of a med salad like tomato, cucumber, red onion, and tzatziki. Honestly so damn good, so damn statiating. Oh got their kombucha too which is a nice drink to pair. I'll be back :)

The accompanying fries were very good. BF really enjoyed his Reuben, which was filling and meaty - thus the 4 stars.

There were several servers hanging around and it wasn't clear where I could order. Sat at the counter and was ignored for 5 min. The server came over and told me to go to the deli area. It was a challenge to understand the clerk. A quart and pint of soup with a bagel and lox was $40. While I waited i read recent reviews and was alarmed. What happened to the best Jewish deli in our area? The lox tasted very fishy, like smoked fish. Unlike any lox I'd ever eaten. I asked for capers and regretted it; there were so many and with only the tiniest shmear of cream cheese, it was inedible. Too salty to be edible. The bagel was ok, but couldn't eat much of it. The chicken soup with mishmosh also disappointed. The lid was swimming in grease. I discarded it carefully. There was 1 matzo ball (ok), tons of noodles (meh) rice (ugh - underdone and inedible) and a kreplach ( I had to spit it out - filling was rancid and sour). The broth was tasteless and unseasoned. What happened to Benji's? So sad.

This place has really flown under the…read moreradar, I'm at Bayshore somewhat frequently and didn't realize they were even in this spot. The restaurant is large, spacious, and well decorated. We had a group of 8 and were seated right away on a Wednesday. We got there in time to order a few $5 apps from the happy hour menu. We all liked the elote fritters! The walleye and crab cakes were also good. We all tried something different. Between the NOLA Salmon, Ahi Tacos, Shrimp Cobb, Spicy Pasta, and even the cheeseburger sliders. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. They even brought out an Apple Pie for my dad's birthday! The only complaint I had is it was very slow. From ordering, to getting our food, and the longest wait was for our bill. With a 1.5 year old, we were eager to get going but waited about a half hour after finishing dinner to get the bill. Prices are pretty fair for the quality and quantity you get. Definitely would still go back, just not if we were in a rush!

A QR code on the table with an online menu might be a better option? Or come in to yelp and check out their menu! I've added pictures below. Bartenders were superb and the food was quite amazing. Crispy Brussel Sprouts: If you hate Brussel sprouts, skip it, but if you want to give it a chance, I'd say this is the place to do it. 1/2 LB Burger is actually cheaper than the Brussel sprouts. They complement each other quite well. It can get quite loud inside, so not your romantic spot (go down the street to Buttermint for that), but if you're looking for a fun, loud, delicious spot, this is it. UPDATE 3/2024 The steak salad is absolutely gorgeous to look at and delicious to the tastebuds. Dressing is probably not keto friendly, but I love it so much!! Maybe try to ask for the dressing on the side next time.. UPDATE - 6/2025 - no longer on the menu SAD. Steak Sandwich is flavorful according to Hany.
