New southwest chicken cobb salad.
Martin H.

We went up to have lunch with my sister who resides near the Southside of indianapolis and to shop at Costco. I wanted to try out the new salads at Panera Bread. I tried out the new southwest chicken salad. I enjoyed the salad and have enough for another meal. I also want to talk about the layout of the restaurant as a disabled person. The parking spaces are nicely placed around the outside of the restaurant. The ramp was added later. The asphalt ramp works well. I appreciate the Panera Bread app and how easy I was able to place an order.

Ciabatta French dip
Chris R.

A lot of people online say this is overpriced hospital food. I'd tend to agree with them in their cheaper items. Don't fall for the grilled cheese option, they shouldn't charge people money for that. I recently got the French dip and it was actually pretty good and very filling. The half is $9 and the whole is $13. You might as well get the whole and save some for later.

Chicken Noodle Soup with Chips
Richard Walton C.

This location and the Avon location seem the same to me - a confusing layout for ordering. I like the Plainfield location much better where it is very obvious after walking through the front door where you go to order. After ordering, they called my name to pick up my food before I could get my change back into my wallet. That is fast service. Granted it was only a bowl of soup and no sandwich needed to be built but it was as if it was instantaneous. I ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup in a bowl. For an $8+ bowl of soup there wasn't much to it. The bowl was only half filled with the broth, no biggie I guess but after six spoonfuls, none of ingredients of chicken, noodles and veggies were left. I had much better chicken noodle soup at the other Panera's. Now what little of the soup there was tasted very good. I've had it before from Panera and that's why I ordered it. I wasn't disappointed in that regard. Another disappointment are their fountain soft drinks. Only one diet drink is offered and it's the old Diet Pepsi. There are none of the new Zero sugar soft drinks offered. Every major soft drink has come out with a Zero option but sadly 99% of restaurants are out of date with soft drink offerings.

I used to come to this location almost weekly. After today, I am never coming back. I also get the same order every week, and it's pretty unique so I know they recognize it. The attached is what I received today. This sandwich is already supposed to come with avocado. I asked for extra on top of that. What I got was 2 slices on the entire sandwich, and one was rotted, as you can see. I threw this BS away. Absolutely pathetic, and costed me $15. You guys suck.

My Greek salad

Already going downhill...this was what my salad looked like today. The back prep area was incredibly dirty. Sad to see it go downhill so quickly. This lettuce should have been thrown away. Will not be ordering food anytime soon.

I used to frequent Panera pretty regularly, but have fallen off the wagon as far as eating there. On Sunday we decided to have a surprise sprinkle for one of my friends who is having her third child soon and Panera was decided upon as the meeting place. This location is down on the Southside amongst a ton of other stores. It is kept clean and looks standard to what other Panera models follow. I assume most people know the drill, you order at the counter and you are given a buzzer to indicate when your food is ready. Panera has a ton of options in the ways of eating. I get the you pick 2 option. I went with the French onion soup and I love this soup. It's actually the first thing I ever had at Panera, I just love the flavor of it. For my sandwich I got the turkey BLT and a side of the baguette. Delicious and I'm sure I'll make my way back to a Panera soon

What I got.. Garden Avo Toast

I was super excited to try the new Garden Avo Toast. Please look at the picture of what I was expecting vs what I got...

Panera is a sold lunch spot, especially if you are trying to escape the fried foods served at most fast food venues. We have been coming to this southside location for years. It could use and interior refreshing or remodel. The staff is friendly, and the food comes out of the kitchen area very efficiently. My favorite thing on the menu is their seasonal turkey chili but unfortunately, it was out of season during my visit, so I tried one of their new signature sandwiches instead. It's basically a fried, frozen and reheated chicken breast on a brioche bun with 4 nickel sized parmesan crisp and a minimal smattering of mayo and greens. I think it really lacked flavor and could use another helping of mayo. I would not order that sandwich again. My wife always gets the broccoli cheddar soup and she said it was great per usual. We will go back to Panera again soon and she will order the soup, but I'll try something else and report back.

It's very cool on the inside with vintage and Indiana-themed decor, tin ceilings, and, of course, a potbelly stove. The staff were friendly. But brother and I were very confused about the ordering process. There wasn't a lot of directional signage showing where to start and each step of the process. I watched a few other customers go through and they didn't seem like they had a problem so maybe it was just us. Next time I would probably just order online and pick it up so I could avoid the in-person ordering process altogether. I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. I would say definitely a step up from your typical sub sandwich chain in terms of flavor and toppings options. I tried the chili mac as well. The chili is definitely à la Wendy's but I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good as well. I'd probably get either on its own but not together again. I also tried the Potbelly/Zapp's collab chips, the Hot Pepper flavor. They were good but are definitely not for everyone. When I visited, most of their fountain soda options were out of order so I settled on a no sugar added Pineapple Passionfruit juice/soda which was actually pretty good. We'll definitely be back - especially to try out their milkshakes!

Same owner as 1823 Bakehouse in Franklin, so you know the coffee and matcha is going to be good. I had a matcha latte with honey and lavender and it was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet and the matcha was the star. While I got mine to go, this would be a great place to meet someone for breakfast or lunch as they also serve some bakery items like açaí bowls, juices and sandwiches. The decor is fun, with literary vibes and there are some cool artwork on the walls too, including a mural. Loved chatting with the owner and the barista working the front counter who advised me on what flavor matcha to get. I will definitely go back to try some other things!

I gave a different review back when the company had a different name (Roots to Rise) - same ownership - and I hadn't been impressed with their coffee or açaí bowls. With the new branding, I figured I'd visit again & stick to juices. They quickly became my post-yoga stop on weekends. I would have went before work on weekdays but they aren't open early enough for that. Today after I ordered I was warned there were a few orders ahead of me. That knowledge before ordering would have been more helpful. Normally a 5 minute wait or so, I was guessing a 15 minute wait would be reasonable. I went outside listened to 3 songs, back in, still no drink, went back out- 2 more songs, back in, still nothing. Ordered at 11:15, drink was done at 11:51. I think good business would have been upping my size for free, or a coupon, or even a thanks for your patience. A simple, "Thanks," while kind enough, caught me off guard. Any gesture to recognize that wait was unreasonably long would have sufficed. The juice was still delicious, I can't lie. I don't know if it's staffing (2 employees on Sat. morning- no Now Hiring sign tho) or what, but if you are in any kind of time crunch, I'd probably avoid the wait. If you are on vacation time- by all means- go enjoy their offerings. I realize it's what comes with a small business, but also something to recognize an unusually long wait would also be a small business quality. I'm disheartened by this. Greenwood is very slack on fresh juice options, although I saw an Ever-Well going in on 31.

They do make everything fresh to order so be ready to wait for about 10 minutes. It was worth the wait. My chicken Philly cheesesteak was excellent. The cheese on this made it next level.

Food: We got a beef cheesesteak and an italian and definitely enjoyed the italian more. I think some of the problem is that they have relatively large rolls/bread which throws off the ratios and makes it feel skimpy. They either need to bake a 20% smaller roll or add 20% more protein to really make each bite satisfying. That said, the ingredients they use are actually good. I could actually taste the spiciness in the capicola and the salami had a nice rich flavor, they also topped the italian with a herby vinaigrette which was great. The fries are slightly more on the shoe string thinness which was fun but flavor was pretty standard. Overall this place isn't bad but it has some stiff competition, you get better price-performance from a cheaper chain and probably a better overall gourmet sub from Capriotti's which isn't that far although you'll probably pay 2x the price.
