    The scrap of paper/plastic I found in my broccoli cheddar soup that I almost swallowed.  Yuck.
    Bailey B.

    Y'all know I don't review chains much and I probably leave 1 stars even less frequently but this experience was pretty unacceptable so here I am. We ordered delivery via a 3rd party app from this spot so we didn't have to leave the office to get some lunch. That being said, I can't speak to atmosphere or service because I've never physically visited this Panera location. I'm pretty sure it's somewhere inside/at least very close to Huntsville Hospital. No problems with the delivery time. Prices were high for the amount of food, but that's Panera and that's delivery for ya. Someone drew a friendly smiley face on our receipt, so that was sweet. I wish the same care had been paid to my food. Packaging was mostly okay -- they remembered cutlery for everyone so that's good - but the paper bag the baguettes were in tore with 0 warning while I was passing them out, flinging one of our four baguettes on the ground. Bummer :( My three coworkers all got the same thing: you pick two, with French onion soup and a half ciabatta cheesesteak. I got the you pick two with an Asian sesame chicken salad and the one thing I really like from Panera, their broccoli cheddar soup. All the baguettes sans the one that fell on the ground were fine, so at least there's that. My coworkers were disappointed with their food. The cheesesteak, which they'd had at a Panera in Decatur a few months ago and enjoyed, wasn't as they remembered, lacking peppers almost completely and dry from relatively little aioli. Everyone's French onion soup had cheese at the bottom instead of the top, and cheese was solid and not at all melty. Gross. My order is the real reason for the one star though. I'd not had the Asian sesame chicken salad before. I did like the almonds and the wonton strips and the dressing was okay. However, the lettuce was often discolored and old looking, there were enormous cilantro stems in there (lots of soapy bites), and the chicken was also an unpleasant color and very rubbery. I mostly ate around the chicken and cilantro and yucky lettuce, but there wasn't much left that didn't fall into one of those three categories. The real kicker here is the soup though. It tasted good, maybe a little more congealed than I expected but it was delivered. But I was enjoying it with my baguette. Except about 60% of the way through, I got a weird bite that initially felt like a very large piece of onion. I covertly spit it out because 1) I don't like large pieces of onion and 2) something in the back of my head said it wasn't actually an onion. I'm glad I did, because it wound up being a large, exceedingly soggy scrap of....paper? Plastic? I can only assume it's from the bag the soup arrives in at the restaurant (as I know they don't make it in-house). That's what I hope it's from, at least -- anything else sounds much worse. It was absolutely disgusting, and upsetting. I didn't finish my soup (obviously) and I didn't want to keep eating anything else, either. My stomach was uneasy for a while after. I understand mistakes happen, but this one is pretty unacceptable to me. I won't be ordering again, and this has very strongly diminished my already dwindling positive (more like neutral) feelings toward the chain.

    The soups are so hearty and fresh! Their customer service is great and I enjoy the space. It is always clean and the ambience is nice.

    We were on the west side of Huntsville and decided to visit Jon Smith Subs again. The Authentic…read moreItalian is still hitting flavor memories and both of us said YOLO! We arrived after 1 and the restaurant had 2 customers. We were warmly greeted and placed a to go order. The restaurant is very clean. The footlong Authentic Italian hits all flavor profiles for an Italian sub. Both of us cannot eat enough of the Authentic Italian. The combination of meats complement each other very well. Our favorite sub here. 5/5 We tried a footlong Chicken Bomb this time. I loved it. To me, the chicken tasted so much better. Both of us were surprised at how delicious the chicken was since the Steak is the most popular sub. 5/5 I signed up my first visit to be a rewards member. I was able to get $5 off my order yesterday. I earned points and my next visit I will get another $5 off. What a deal. If you like subs, grinders or hoagies, please stop by and give this locally owned restaurant a try. The Authentic Italian is the bomb to us!!! 5/5

    Really wanted to like this place as I love a good deli sandwich and they are near me…read more Unfortunately, not sure if I tried the wrong item or if it was a bad day. I tried the Cajun steak with Cajun fries. The fries had twice the flavor than the steak. Honestly, the steak didn't have a Cajun taste, much less any seasoning really. I can't speak for the service because I had my sandwich delivered.

    Came here because this place had 5 stars and not a lot of pictures. This restaurant is located…read moreinside the Botanical Gardens but you don't need to pay to eat here, it's located next to the gift shop. Sometimes the food venue in a place like this can be terrible and over priced -- this isn't the case with Fern & Feast Bistro. The food selection here is pretty decent, sandwiches, tacos, salads, burgers, flatbreads etc, most in the $9-12 range. They have some kid options (chicken nuggets, grilled chese, quesadilla, etc) for picky eaters at $6 each. Downside is that the sandwiches etc don't come with fries or chips, so that could increase your meal price. I ordered the Uber sandwich because I feel like that is a good gauge of how the food will be and is pretty standard at most restos. Mine was served relatively quick on an environmentally friendly plate made if recycle paper products (I don't care all that much but I know some people will appreciate that touch). Club was delicious, but make sure to grab mustard and mayo. Bread was toasted just the right amount; it had some char but was not too dry or crunchy. Lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the proportions and amounts of the turkey, ham and beacon was great. But the best reason to come to this place is the scenery. From the back of the narrow seating area you can grab a seat that looks out over the Botanical Gardens or of you keep going back they have outdoor seating available. The weather was wonderful today and so I ate my sandwich on the patio taking in nature and avoiding the man with three children who all needed discipline in their life inside. If you're looking for a place to stop and relax with decent food while the weather is good - this is your place. Give it a shot!

    A little pricey for the amount of food you get but i can understand since it's a gift shop styled…read morequick eat place. fun little shops near and around the restaurant itself. staff was friendly and accommodating.
