    Tomato soup
    Alejandra D.

    We've went to panera probably 3 times in the last week since we moved and love it. Panera Bread back home was always my favorite stop for studying and hanging out with friends (it was also my first job lol). Me and my husband love to come in and talk or plan things out at panera. The atmosphere is always great and quiet, so is the service. The food comes out quick and it is always clean inside (the 3 or so times we've been to the one in Madison).

    Stoped her today for my morning coffee! As always the coffee was great! The staff working were having a good time talking to each other so it took a while for them to give me my cup even though there was no one else there waiting but I didn't mind the long wait. The staff that did help me were super friendly as always and the coffee was great!

    I love this Panera! Great dining room and seat selection with cozy spots to eat and get some work done. I got the Broccoli Cheddar Soup and it was absolutely delicious. Tasted very fresh! The staff is very friendly and was quick to help in any way I needed. I'll be back to this location and would recommend it.

    My bill.

    Bad financial and service experience at Panera. I was in a bit of a hurry and the line was long so I jumped over to the self order kiosk. I ordered what I wanted and didn't pay a lot of attention. As I enjoyed my food--and it was really good (the only reason I gave them two stars), I scanned the marketing material in the dining area. My chicken noodle soup was really good, but did you know...my order should have cost $6.99 plus $3 water plus $2 Pecan Braid?! I looked at my receipt and found that I need to pay more attention. I paid $20 and tipped them a dollar for nothing!! I asked for a manager and was told they were "really busy right now." Not having time to escalate, and feeling my blood pressure rise, I pushed off to my barrage of meetings. Thievery sits wrong with me, though. Customer service--0 stars. Price--zero stars. Food--5 stars. Average is rounded up to 2 stars. Watch your wallets when you dine here!

    Pick two

    Not good like it used to be . Panera use to be a go to for soups and salads but not since they sold to the company that owns Krispy Kreme it's not longer good . They cut their pastries to almost nothing and the quality was cut as well . I would say go somewhere else for soup and salad .

    Mediterranean bowl and half Cubano. The Panera bread was good too
    David V.

    Not bad. Pretty fresh and staff is friendly. Just order your stuff and they give you a sensor when your orders ready and you pick it up. It's not cheap however, but the quality is actually good. I liked it. First timer here, I like how they have healthier options for eats compared to other places in the area. After your order they always ask if I wanted to purchase a pastry or cookie for $0.99. Slick. I got the Mediterranean Bowl with Chicken. The bowl Came with rice, tzatziki, tomatoes, and chicken. It was a nice combination together. I'd get it again. I also got a half sandwich of the Cubano. That was good and the bread was fresh and crispy, and the meat was flavorful and moist. I dipped some bread in the creamed broccoli soup as well. That was good. All in all, I'd come back again.

    Supposed to be a grilled cheese

    Ordered tomato soup (which was great) and what was supposed to be a grilled cheese. I got a melted cheese on doughy bread samdwi

    Freshly opened bowl of pasta. Not close to being full.

    Portion sizes are way too small for the amount of money you pay. Cashier tried to charge me $55 for 2 cups of coffee, large Mac and cheese and a smoothie. Smoothies are now only 12 oz for over $5 The bowl of mac and cheese was only 2/3 full.

    This was the "lettuce" in my Cobb salad tonight. I never write reviews but this was gross

    Quick service via the drive-thru for a couple of fresh salads. They were very accomodating when we asked to swap the romaine for spinach.

    Ordered two whole salads today - more like side salads. Ridiculously small portion and over priced. I will not be returning.

    The fountain machine needs a thorough cleaning. The ice dispenser in particular was really gross.

    Early in the week, I made online reservations for Friday at 7pm. I got text confirmation of that…read morereservation. Something came up making Friday a bad choice, so I made another reservation for Saturday and cancelled the on for Friday. Once again I got a text message for both the Friday cancellation and Saturday booking. The automated replies made it convenient. We arrived a few minutes before or reservation and were seated right away. They were quick to respect my request for a nearby booth, as I have a disability walking. We ordered the steak appetizer roles that were outstanding! My wife ordered a Caesar salad that was huge, along with the filet with a baked potato. When I looked at the menu days prior, I was eyeing the shrimp and grits, but after seeing nearby tables entrees, I quickly ordered the ribeye. Our server, Jesstina was off the wall spectacular! Our appetizer came out quick, and our main course came out soon after we were done enjoying our appetizers. She made sure our every need was taken care of, and her attitude was as if we were her long time friends. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary of 23 years, and the dining experience was perfect! Spectacular service, an outstanding food selection and a 10 out of 10! This was our first time at this Stoney River, but it won't be the last! And you can rest assured, we'll make sure Jesstina will be our requested server!

    Stoney River delivers solid flavor and quality, and the ambiance makes the experience even better…read more The atmosphere is classy, dimly lit, and upscale without feeling overly formal. It is a great spot for a date night or a special evening out. We started with the crab cake. It was definitely good, flavorful, and nicely prepared, but at 18 dollars for a single crab cake, it felt a little steep. The standout of the night was the Wild Mushroom Meatloaf. It was hearty, well seasoned, and something I would absolutely reorder. We paired it with asparagus and Parmesan fries. The asparagus was fresh and succulently seasoned, cooked just right. The Parmesan fries were crispy and flavorful and made a great complement to the meal. I ordered the London Dip, which had good flavor overall, especially paired with the roasted wild mushrooms. That combination worked well together. However, for the price point, I think next time I might try something else on the menu. It was good, just not quite as memorable as the meatloaf. We also tried the smoked gouda mac and cheese, which was rich and tasty and definitely a solid side option. Overall, Stoney River offers good quality dishes with strong flavors in a classy setting that makes it perfect for date night. A few items feel priced on the higher side, but I would return, especially for that meatloaf.

    I guess the people that eat here want to keep it a secret because this place should have WAY more…read morereviews! The food was great. Friendly service. And the restaurant was spacious and clean. (I love when I can eat without breathing down my neighbors plate) We went in for the wings, fries, and pizza but last minute decided to try the Chicken 65, Southern Curry, and Tandoori Pizza. The Chicken 65 was good but I feel like the wings would've been better. Now the southern curry didn't disappoint. And having shrimp as my protein was the perfect match. It does have some kick to it, so keep that in mind. The Tandoori Pizza was also a star. You're not going to get anything like this anywhere else. Crispy crust and a hearty amount of toppings. This pizza has jalapeño slices so order a drink to cool your mouth. lol I will say it was a pleasant surprise to see teas/juices instead of soda machines. We will be back! They have daily specials so that's a great way to try out their menu. And for the night owls, they special pricing for a few things after 8!

    I've heard so many of my coworkers talk about this place so i had to give it a try. Let me just say…read moreit did not disappoint!!! Starting off with that shrimp curry taco, CHEF KISS. It was scrumptious, i wasn't sure if i would like it so i only got one to taste and im upset I didn't get 2. The wings were pretty good as well, they were fried just right but also juicy! I did not get a picture of my butter chicken and rice but just know it was devoured! The inside was so nice and clean also bright! The service was great as well. My favorite thing about tikka shack is that they have a self serve kiosk where you can take your time looking through the order and ring yourself up without holding up or talking to anyone if you are on the shy side!
