First time into this location! For the most part, we're fans of Panera's food, so it's an easy yes when were out and about and need a quick lunch. My husband and I brought our two kiddos in for just that. It was clean, spacious, and updated. Plenty of seating. A fireplace that was on- delightful in this cold weather. For the littles, we ordered a kids grilled cheese meal which comes with one side. We opted for fruit and this time it came with various melons and pineapple (a hit for out kids). The sandwich itself is big so was plenty for them to split. The bread is always favorable here, but the cheese on this one was giving 'Kraft' if I'm honest. It's great they have plenty of children's drink options as well. We grabbed them each a milk. I had the 'pick-two' and got chicken and rice soup paired with the green goddess salad. Soup was delishhhhh, as always from Panera. The salad was a little lackluster though. My husband also raved about the broc-cheddar soup. His paired steak sammie was a little cold however, and it's advertised as being served hot. Overall this was an A-OK experience, but it'll take a lot to put us off from Panera. Still enjoyable a majority of the time! read more

Great quick service. Food is always good. I always have hated the Panera menu, its very difficult to follow and read, but what can you do that's not the staffs fault, just me being picky. Join their rewards program to get special deals :) read more

Just witnessed a male employee use the bathroom and return to work without washing his hands. I watched to see if he would wash his hands at all behind the counter (which is still disgusting) and he went straight to working a register. read more

The food at this location is okay/good. The staff is not very welcoming and the tables, floors, bathroom and doors/entry way are dirty. Makes you wonder how clean the kitchen is. read more

Here for lunch, yesterday. This is a location we eat at about ten times a year for the past couple of years. We've consistently received good quality food here. Two things I've noticed about this place, though, that I never see at any other Panera's and that bugs me to no end and, thus, a three star rating instead of four: #1 -They ALWAYS under dress their salads at this location. I always find a large portion of any salad I order absolutely dry. (I don't get it. Doesn't happen at any other location). #2 - When grabbing any prepared order here, after being called to the counter..... or when I've returned to the counter to ask for more dressing on my salad, the folks behind the counter are always unfriendly, and most times somewhat contemptuous. I really resent this. Management would do themselves a favor if they give those folks a bit more supervision and customer/server skills training. Just sayin'. read more

I visited this location recently for breakfast and enjoyed my egg white spinach and avocado breakfast sandwich. I probably would have prefered such a sandwich to have yolk in it, but that's personal taste preference rather than a health preference or something. I rather liked my chai tea latte (the mug was nice and large and comforting. We got good service from the staff in this location as well, who cleared our table, delivered our food, took our orders, and even took our photo (when we asked). The restroom was clean and well maintained as well. There was ample parking. read more

Menomonee Falls location is great! Good food and great service. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Brookfield, WI location.

This was a lack luster experience to put it mildly. Simple order of two breakfast sandwiches, 2 fruit cups, a soufflé and and a drink to go - 20 min, and wrong- TWICE, after they half forgot about my order which sat around half completed. In an interesting twist at Panera, they clearly feel that people wanted / needed more service so now they have servers bring your food to your table and have added the layer of a manager / expediter to move orders out... but it only seems to work at some of the locations. Why? I feel because team behind the scenes seem to vary wildly by location. This group partially young and sadly not real sharp, saying in response to me very politely pointing out the recurrent errors ... "I guess that's what happens when you work on 4 hours of sleep". Wrong comment. Correct comment out loud, "so sorry, for the repeated error!!! It was my fault both times, I should have clarified the first time and verified your the second before you left." Mentally saying in your head- I need to get to bed at the right time on Saturday night if I have to be here at 5 AM! Training is tough, and the workforce is young, but both have always been true and rather than being hard they represent a great opportunity. As Panera's food gets cleaner their process gets sloppier and the prices are getting too high. Prices are starting to feel like restaurant prices in a cafe environment. read more

I really like Panera's food. I find it is always fresh and I leave feeling full but not overly stuffed. I appreciate how they have added calorie counts to the menu; I'm trying to be more conscious of what I am consuming and having the calories next to the menu items does help me make healthier choices. The next thing I would like to see is sandwich ingredients on the menu so I don't have to ask if what I am interested in has onions/mustard/mayo/etc to ensure I order food the way I like. From reading the other reviews, I realized it is not just me who finds this location always busy. I had a later dinner here last night with my family, was past the typical dinner hour, and there were crowds of people. Service is usually pretty quick; I wouldn't expect them to prepare food any faster with the high volume at this location. I would be very careful if you have a food allergy and request a modified order. Last night my sister ordered chili and asked for no croutons as she is allergic to wheat. They put croutons in her chili, and then when reminded it was no croutons the girl put on a glove and picked them out. After my mom said something, they prepared a new bowl... but just removing croutons from the chili for someone with severe Ciliac's disease would make that person very very ill!! It seems most of the employees are post-high school/college kids but food allergies are so common these days that employees should receive proper training on food handling (-2 stars). Very good food (I'd give the food 4 stars for food alone) but a tad overpriced... I do recommend the cream of chicken and wild rice soup - super tasty! read more

Great place and super service. Nice people work there . Bagels are great along with the cream cheese read more

Ordered lunch and got the creamy wild rice chicken soup and the soup is so watery has no creamy texture whatsoever and is super bland like they don't season it or something, I always order this and this time disappointed me and I had to write a review read more

Favorite place to catchup with old friends, so this time I picked up Panera and brought it to her house. Love the rapid pick up! Fresh food ready to go when you are. Great and healthy food to go, love it would rather to pick up food here than any other fast food restaurant read more

I love Panera, but my first visit to this one didn't go so well. I ordered online because I live 30 minutes away and order specific things. I ordered the Turkey Bravo sandwich with no tomato and extra bravo sauce. For some reason the tomato basil bread it's supposed to be on wasn't used. That's my favorite part of the sandwich, so that was disappointing. Plain, thin white just doesn't cut it. I also ordered a half fuji apple salad with extra apple chips. I got no apple chips...in a fuji apple salad. I ordered online and an hour and a half before pickup, so there was plenty of time to get the order right. Unfortunately, I live 30 minutes away, so I didn't discover any of this until I got home. read more

Disappointed. Panini first bite was burnt. It was flipped over so I wouldn't notice. Avocado had black spots. Yuck! How can you burn a sandwich and serve it to someone. It was takeout so I couldn't send it back. The Garden Chicken Woton Bow soupn was good but $9.29? I used to love Panera but this is the second time I have been scratching my head thinking how can they charge so much and the quality is not there. read more

There is this man that's work at this location that constantly stalks our workers at Chipotle right next door, he tries to get with the girls that work here and comes in for certain girls shifts when they work. It is starting to become constant occurrence and it is getting out of hand so just be aware while you are there young girls. But the food is great tho and MOST of the employees are amazing as well! read more

Had lunch here at Panera with my wife. Facility was crowded but we found a table. We both had there 1/2 sandwich and soup or salad combo. Both were served hot, fresh and delicious. I also had a frozed strawberry lemonade. Food and service excellent. My only complaint was that I thought the price was a bit high - was $20 for the 2 of us - perhaps about $3 above what I was expecting. read more

For just dining out for a quick meal, this location is more of a 3 star place.. Tasty eats, friendly service, busy and crowded environment around lunch, and a little pricier than it's worth. They were out of focaccia bread today at about 1:30, which was honestly the only reason I chose this for lunch. Was kind of bummed about that, to tell you the truth. Four stars for fantastic catering though! I recently had a two-day retreat at work and was dreading the typical pizza and sub box lunches that is usually part of these meetings. But we got Panera instead, and it was really nice to have something like this for a business group lunch. read more

I do enjoy Panera. They will often make things that aren't even on the menu - without a 2nd thought. I love that. In this case I just wanted a bagel before heading to an all day class. The staff was friendly enough but I felt that there were many other priorities for them before me. I wasn't greeted. I wasn't told that they would be with me after they made coffee etc. If I had... more stars. read more

What's to be said about panera bread that hasn't already been said? The prices are a bit high for what you get. But the food isn't bad. I like the Chicken noodle bread bowl, but man over the years have they gotten SMALL! The pick two combo isn't bad but the sandwich's are pretty small also. This location is pretty nice though, and the people seem decent. read more

I ordered ancient grain, arugula and chicken salad to go, only to find out that my salad was chickenless. I drove back and told them about the error they made, they didnt seem surprised. read more

Good food, moderate price (for soup). I usually get chicken noodle in a bread bowl. Yum.

I enjoyed my visits at Panera's. The staff is very friendly and cooperative. The food they prepare is very nutritious and delightful. For dinner I had the best tasting turkey, chicken and melted cheese flatbread sandwich ever along with a Caesar salad and a piece of bread. I also like how the restaurant is very clean and organized with all of the bakery lined up behind the counter. I would definitely come back to this place again and I highly recommend it for anyone to try. read more

I do like Panera Bread a lot, My only issue I had with this location was how unfriendly they are. I have been here a few times and I have nothing but rude employees. I would say this is the worst Panera Bread store I have ever been at. read more

They have wonderful food and all the people are very nice and have grate customer service and they do amazing work and also they are the best read more

Panera is the perfect combination of healthy food and cozy atmosphere. I love coming to Panera because it satisfies all of my needs, from studying to catching up with a friend to grabbing a quick meal. All of the food at Panera is excellent, my favorites are the mac and cheese and the cinnamon bagel. Be sure to try Panera's to go soups and pastas too! A perfect meal to keep in the fridge for a quick dinner. read more

Excellent! very clean store, the menu is varied and they accommodate allergies and most of all the staff is friendly and the manager really cares about a great guest experience! read more

Overcrowded and overpriced. Did not have a great experience but the food was decent.

I generally have good experiences with Panera. But, this store is a complete mess. We've had one occasion where we stood without recognition as staff diddled with something in the register, then told us to move to another line, where we were put in the back to wait our turn once more. Two other times we were caught by the bakery counter clerk to take our order, giving up a place in line, to be put behind someone else, leaving us standing, as they took care of someone else, while the original line moved along. This store also makes errors on orders far more frequently than any other we visit. From complete misses (wrong item) to failure to recognize a request for removing a garnish or item from a standard order. I'm personally done with this store and will not revisit it again. The last time we were manipulated, then ignored, we left and went to Potbelly's, off Capital, where we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. read more
