    Panera Lake Elsinore Ca
    Ron B.

    Have you tried the Panera blueberry bagel freshly made early morning. I had mine hand sliced and toasted today with cream cheese. Freshly made bagel's are so delicious. Also got their ham, egg and cheese on Asiago bagel. Love it.

    The Pick two sandwich meal.

    This was an unplanned stop but it turned out well for a decent lite meal. Panera Bread continues to serve quality food. The restaurant was quiet with few customers this helps when you want a relaxed meal. I do recommend this restaurant and will continue to support the restaurant.

    Burnt Asiago Bread Sticks.

    Burnt. They shouldn't give this to drive thru customers. Didn't open till I got Home. Don't Trust Panera. Declining Quality Over the Years.

    Hair in Sandwich

    Placed a order in the app. Received my sandwich with a hair inside that made me gag. My husband couldn't even finish his food once he saw the hair. The GM Vincent who's not there would not allow for a refund to be made in his absence. This is appalling and beyond even a subpar performance and quality. I will not be back period except to collect my refund which I have to now drive there for on Friday (today is Tuesday). Quality and customer service is in the negative. If you're in the area just don't go, period!

    Placed a rapid pick up order for some coffees. Clean restrooms. Quick service & friendly employees.

    I don't think I've ever been to this Panera location, because it was very pretty hidden in this Lake Elsinore area, all I can say is the place were well kept, everything setup nicely organized and tidy, cleaned thru and thru. Has outdoor seatings and a drive thru, and the most important part is the vanilla syrup bottle is presented at the coffee station. I don't remember if they had Dr Pepper fountain drink at other locations, but this one does have it as an option if you got tired of Pepsi. Trying to get away from the heat of the area, so come inside here and enjoy some AC and stay for awhile

    They have those order yourself kiosks and it was easy and served very quickly..I had the autumn squash soup with pine nuts ..so yummy..nice and hot..and a cáptese chicken sandwich (1/3) and a fruit cup ..my family had a fresh Caesar salad, broccoli cheese soup (always a hit) and my granddaughter had chicken noodle soup..that bread is delicious as always and let's talk about their pastries ..so much goodness..in glad they were behind the glass..can't leave without one ..(at least a COOKIE) lots of beverage selections too! ..we sat in a cozy little booth ..

    Greek salad
    John S.

    I want to like this place but really? Is lettuce that expensive? Seems like they are getting cheaper and cheaper with the food but the prices are expensive. I said this is the size of the Greek salad? Yup

    Frontega Chicken...with nothing on it??

    This is my favorite Panera. The drive through always gets my order perfect and they are so friendly. The food is great but expensive.

    Don't get my review mixed up. The food here is amazing. I love this place. Coming from Hawaii,…read morethis is the closest place to getting Hawaiian style food at a fast and convenient place. I am writing this review because this metal fray from either a bbq cleaning brush or a metal bristle style S.O.S. Sponge. It was caught in the back of my throat and tonsil and caused minor lacerations and bleeding. I am reporting this place to the BBB,FDA, and OSHA! I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Metal string was in my fire chicken plate.

    This would have been a solid 5 star experience as I was craving fish and they had an $8 Aloha plate…read morespecial where I got their fried fish, it was so good, their tartar sauce was bomb! We ordered online for pick up, did some shopping across the parking lot while we waited. The food wasn't ready when we got there, but it was done and delivered to my husband in the span of time it took me to use the restroom. Service was friendly, the bag was tied up and we were told everything was in there. We didn't realize the guava pie we ordered wasn't included with our order, that was a deduction of a star as your restaurant was empty at lunch so I don't feel like this should have even been an issue. Then I deducted another star because I emailed customer service in regard to the issue and was never contacted back and we live 30 minutes away so I wouldn't drive back for $4. At least I know that I like the fish so I will be getting it at another closer location to us for our next visit.

    Yes! We came in today during Mother's Day and stood in line for approximately an hour---I will tell…read moreyou 100% it was worth the wait! I have been to Golden Corrals throughout Texas and some were not very good as far as food quality. Although, there was non-stop traffic coming in thru the door, chaos behind the food line, the food was tasty and this is probably one of the best ones I have eaten at! Our busboy/server was Jason and he is definitely one to keep-very professional and attentive! I tried to sample just about everything but yeah, my stomach said no more after about 2 plates! Everyone is friendly and the restaurant is definitely big enough to walk around and be comfortable.

    When this place first opened, this place had great food. Now the passion of cooking food has left…read morethis place. I paid $18 for two lobster tails (on top of the entry fee of $21.99) and the tails were undercooked. It was really bad. My wife ordered a steak that was waaay overcooked and it tasted worse than a Sizzler steak. She also got the baked chicken that was undercooked (still pink inside). And to top it all off, there was a dead roach next to my son's chair in the floor. I informed the waitress of the roach and she even gagged when I told her what was on the floor. She went over and disposed of it but again a roach at a buffet?? Definitely a bad sign for sure. I'm super disappointed with this visit. My daughter wanted our family to eat here for her birthday so we did. We had a party of 26 with our family. I'm definitely searching for a better place and don't really want to return here. The positives? The waitress was nice and helpful, the manager offered me another lobster tail, I was too grossed out with the first one and declined another one. But ya this place has declined so so much and I don't want to return to this location.

    Aza is a hidden gem in Lake Elsinore. I'll recommend this place to anyone looking for a good sushi…read morespot. The restaurant's clean with great ambiance. We were seated shortly after walking in. Khoi was our server and he was fantastic. He got us drinks and a complimentary appetizers while we wait for our food. He was present and made sure we were taken care of. I missed ordering miso so I asked if I could get one and bring it out with the sushi. I got exactly what I asked. Very attentive. Great staff. Our table ordered: cherry blossom kenji aza tonkotsu ramen shrimp tempura sushi and roll combo beef teriyaki bento orange chicken We didn't wait very long at all. Delicious! Big portion and the sashimi slices are thick compared to other sushi restaurants. Sashimi's fresh, didnt need to use soysauce at all. They have sushi that actually has flavor! Don't forget their fried ice cream before leaving! Overall great experience. This will be our go to sushi restaurant now and will bring friends and family from out of town. We will definitely come back for their Flaming Dragon.

    First time coming here..It has changed a couple of different times do was a little skeptical…read more I was greeted right away and sat in a booth. I was solo for lunch.
