    Panera is honestly a hit or miss for me every time. This visit was a hit! With the chillier weather rolling in, I was craving their soup and sammie "you-pick-two" combo so I decided to stop in. Plus it's a nice atmosphere to get some work done. It was lunch time, so the line to the main register was long. I like the speedy check-out option to use the touch screens yourself - my order was in before half that line! They call your name when it's up at the counter, but you can also opt for a text to your phone to be notified. I went with veggie autumn squash soup and half chipotle chicken avocado melt. Both were honestly great! The black pepper focaccia they make the sandwich on is my fave and you really can't go wrong with a combo of smoked gouda and chicken. The soup was pipping hot and a nice rich blend of pumpkin and butternut squash. Notes of cinnamon and curry too. It met my craving needs! All of these meals come with a side of your choice too, so I opted for an apple. Otherwise you can choose chips or french bread. I feel like 10 bucks for the pick-two meal is a pretty good price too. All in all, happy with the visit!

    Tortellini Chicken Alfredo. Chicken was few and far between.

    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.

The spice was not overwhelming and the overall flavor was very comforting. While my order came thru, I was able to notice the decor. There is such an attention to detail and cute fixtures to notice throughout the space. I was also happy to notice the water station that included both still and sparkling! If you're looking for an awesome coffee spot in the Milwaukee area, stop here or one of their other locations!

This last time, we got the 50 piece whole wings ($58.99) and 34 piece legs and thighs ($47.99). Enough to feed 20 people. With this order, we got 7 little packets of coleslaw. Hubby keeps picking up and forgetting to check, but we really needed more coleslaw. They also forgot bread. But a lot of hot sauce. One time, we got the 15 piece whole wings and 8 piece legs and thighs. It was plenty to feed two men and one gal with big appetites. Should be plenty for 4 people with big appetites, with leftovers. I generally get a lot so we can have leftovers. **On many occasions, they forget to pack coleslaw and bread. Check! 7/2024- Fried gizzard on this last pick up order. A+! Notes: - fried whole wings - deliciously golden, not too salty. They are whole wings, in 3 sections, which is nice if you like the wing tip area like I do. - potato wedges - these are more expensive than regular fries, but there's no Merrit in paying the extra. Regular fries are pretty good, and the wedges are subpar. - don't get lost. They are located right on the corner of Teutonia and Good Hope, inside the gas station. (and don't get gas here - it's cheaper just down the street)

I am still in pursuit of getting this card replaced, but I'm having a very difficult time reaching the card provider. Further, reaching customer service at Cousins Subs is a chore beyond belief. What bothers me most about all of this is that cousins used to be a fine local company that cared. I never have this problem with Culvers when there is a problem. Cousins has outgrown his ability to properly service the customer. Purchase at your own peril. If anything goes wrong with the transaction, you will get no support from this company

I can say this place serves delicious doner kebab on fresh housemade bread on par with what I tasted in Germany. Doner Kebab can be ordered as Classic on their housemade bread, as a Wrap, as a Bowl, or as a Donerdilla (quesadilla with Doner using their wrap), and you can choose beef or chicken. They have a couple of side dishes, including fries and loaded fries, plus fountain drinks and bottled drinks. The dining room seats about 20 people. I visited twice, so far. First visit was for dine-in about 2 weeks ago, but there were large orders ahead of me, so my wait time reached a point where I asked them to switch my order to carry-out, and I ate it over 90 minutes later after my appointment. After 90 minutes, the doner kebab was still delicious even without reheating it. Ofcourse the fries became soggy as expected but seasoning was really good. I went back over this past weekend for dine-in. Wait time was only about 15 minutes, and this time the fries were perfectly crisp and still had the great seasoning blend, plus a tasty garlic sauce for dipping. They do not have ketchup for fries, and I like that. They have 3 sauces to choose from: garlic, herb, and spicy. The Classic Doner Kebeb was even better eaten fresh, but flavors were about the same as my carry-out sandwich eaten "cold," which speaks to the consistency. Be patient in your visit because it is a small team of 2 taking and prepping orders, and there may be call-in orders or large orders ahead of you. I will definitely go back to try everything else on the menu!
