Wonderful as usual! The only critique I have is that they serve too many one-hit-wonders! Their pimento-cheese chicken sandwich, for instance! I go there all summer to get this delicious blast-from-the-past, and then, I go back & they've stopped serving it! Never to have it again, I guess! I haven't been back! read more

Obsessed with the soup and bread also mac n cheese. Context: I am not my best first thing in the am. I used the drive thru, keep in mind they do not serve lunch till 10am I can say I should be more diligent about time. HOWEVER, the woman speaking got noticeably irritable. " We do not serve lunch till 10am.." I will not be taking the drive thru unless it is my only choice. read more

We go there at least once per week for lunch. Great quality Clean Fast service My husband loves their chili I think their chicken soup is perfect for mud day. read more

We love Panera! We love our sip club memberships! We've been on the road for two months and have visited dozens of locations in seven states! We ordered in the app, walked in and grabbed our cups and filled them with caffeinated deliciousness. This location was clean, staff was on point and the coffee was delicious. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Very clean and well kept area and surroundings. Food was excellent. Very fast and friendly service . With the low rating on yelp, we really had second thoughts on choosing this. No regrets. read more

It's been about a year since I've visited Panera. When I lived closer I used to love their chicken avocado melt sandwich and eat it all the time. Today I went in and ordered the sandwich. To begin with a single sandwich and a small drink cost 22 dollars, which is absurd all by itself. But then the sandwich came and it was disgusting. Not the same sandwich in any way shape or form. There was a single chunk of cold chicken with a slice of melted cheese and a small drop of sauce in the very middle. I actually took two bites and threw the entire 20 dollar sandwich away. I will never be back. As an added bonus we got to brush the previous customers crumbs off out table. I guess they don't wipe those down between customers. read more

I like Panera and this is the first time I've ordered something that was not up to par. Tomato soup was good, grilled cheese was not. Despite this, I would eat here again. read more

First of all, for the most part I like Panera Bread. However, in the Missoula location I have never gotten the same quality food when going through the Drive thru that I can get by going inside and sitting down to eat. The drive thru is pre-packaged (I have the Fuji Apple Salad) in a small bowl, with very little ingredients other than lettuce. And some of the lettuce wasn't even cut up and some was brown (bleh!). Small portion of dressing. My iced tea had zero ice in it. For this, I paid $16 dollars. I have tried the drive thru on different days of the week and at different times thinking that surely I'd get a different result, but nope. I don't believe that I'll ever trust the drive thru again and will have serious doubts about going inside either. It's like they just don't really care about drive thru customers because by the time you discover your meal is gross...you're too far away to do anything about it and they already have your money! Do better Panera Bread! read more

It's absolutely authentically delicious! Prices are fair helpings are large it's as if you were sitting at their mother's table. I get excited on my way there the meat melts in your mouth like butter they concoction of the sauces is perfect and then oh my God have you tried the mango yogurt smoothie?! These guys in the taco guys in the dark horse saloon on my two absolute favorite places in all of Missoula to eat! read more

I had a very yummy broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl. It was really good. It's sad that we don't have an actual person taking my order. The interface, however, was really easy to use. My friend and I sat by the fireplace on a very frigid day with our soup. Enjoyable experience. read more

I have only ordered delivery from them. But food came in a timely fashion and there was one item missing. Called and the manager rushed it right over to me. Great customer service. read more

Panera Bread - Salad yum - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

First my husband and I are Panera fans ! We love the harvest squash soup from Tucson! The true story of Panera in lynnwood wA. First we drove up for lunch and no one was there at Lynnwood. Not one car was parked in Lynnwood Panera. We compared it to Tucson Panera which is excellent. Stay away from Lynnwood wa because you could almost see through the bread and the tiniest sandwich I have ever had at a Panera!The sandwich was very thin the bread tiny and there was supposed to be basil. I went back and asked why basil was not present in the tiny sandwich. He said it's in the bread!! We were shocked because you certainly couldn't taste it in the thing tiny sandwich we had! Very few people were eating there and now we know! It's a tiny poor example of Panera. Drive to Tucson Panera it's wonderful!! Timi read more

Panera is fairly new to Missoula and is one of only three locations in Montana. It is located in the Target shopping center right off Reserve Street. There is plenty of parking and designated handicapped spaces for those who need them. They offer both dine-in, drive thru, and curbside pickup, making ordering a breeze. Thr first thing I notice whenever I walk in is how clean the restaurant is. The trashes are not overflowing and the tables are all wiped down after each customer leaves. The stations to fill up your drinks is constantly being wiped down and cleaned and the attention to detail shows. In the 20 minutes or so we were in here today, I watched the cashier wipe everything down at least three times. High five for that! Now for the food part of my review: Their food is pretty good! I have not had anything that I didn't like. My one complaint would be portion size. For the price you pay for the items on the menu, I would expect the portions to be bigger. I feel that issue stems from the corporate aspect of things, and not so much from the actual location itself. The quality of the food is definitely there, and you can taste the freshness in each of their menu items. The small portions certainly will not keep me from coming here, as they do have some really good items. We purchased a loaf of artisan bread a couple weeks ago to go with an Italian dinner we were making and it was delicious! I love that they bake their loaves of bread daily because it is a quick and easy to stop to pick some up as a compliment to dinner. One thing I didn't mention is there are charging outlets at each of the tables. I personally would probably never utilize them, but it is a great idea for those who will. If you haven't already......go get yourself some Panera! read more

See all

I recently visited, and overall, the food was good, especially the mac and cheese. We got it for my toddler, and it was so yummy that I wished I had ordered it for myself! Both sandwiches we tried were also tasty. However, I did have a strange encounter with one of the employees. While I was walking with my toddler near our table (we weren't finished eating), the employee saw the table and got a bit upset about it not being cleaned up. He didn't realize I was right behind him when I mentioned that we weren't finished and would clean up. The interaction left me a little taken aback--it felt a bit rude. read more

absolute disgrace. order a vegetarian sandwich, hurrying back to school i begin to eat my sandwich when i notice somethings not quite right. IT WAS A CHICKEN SANDWICH! i'm incredibly appalled as panera has broken my vegetarian streak of 7 years. the vegan police are now after me. my stomach is in shambles. you may be wondering "how did i you not notice the chicken?" my answer is simple... HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT CHICKEN TASTES LIKE. #nevergoingtothisestablishmentagain read more

Panera Bread - not veggie sandwich - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Good food but the place is very dirty no one cleaning tables or floors bathrooms bad too looks like very short of help, won't eat there again. Tried to buy desert nobody to take order hardly any selection about to walk out. Not sure who manager is but somebody needs to use a broom or wash rag . We had to clean our own table just to sit down. They were not very friendly probably because they were short of help but it looks like it's family owned and operated read more

I absolutely love this location all the staff is friendly, quick and polite. I appreciate how clean they always keep it. This is seriously one of my favorite places. read more

My daughter went here while I was in the car with her. I should have had her drop me off somewhere. I think it took close to 25 minutes to get her so called "fresh" food. There is almost nothing here that is actually fresh or even not frozen. If you don't believe me look it up. The coffee was crap, the frozen microwaved Mac and Cheese was straight up slop. Her sandwich was just okay but not what she ordered. The people in this town just don't care what they eat for the most part as long as it comes from a giant chain of crap. The worst part is this shit is dam expensive. There is way better options, albeit not many, places to go in this town that are local. Skip this place, your wallet and stomach will thank you. read more

The service was horrible. Waited almost 2 hours for the food and they forgot things. Very poor service.

We ordered on the app and showed up - turns out my order didn't go through (my fault) and the manager was so kind and once I ordered correctly, they rushed my order. The manager was so helpful, friendly and kind and they were super busy so I didn't expect my food to come so fast. We ordered a flatbread and chili and it was so delicious! Definitely coming here again! read more

Came in town to visit family. Went through drive through for breakfast and it was great, especially the chocolate crescent. Went back for lunch had sandwich and soup, cream broccoli was great. Next day liked it so much went and got sandwich and pizza. All of it was Delicious! Service was great too read more

Skip it ! Worst customer service of all time! Kitchen staff extremely rude, place was also dirty!

Grumpy employees and place was a mess. Food arrived quickly but was just okay. The customer service needs a reboot.

What a disaster! Where to start. Haven't eaten in the restaurant for a while. First cup of self serve coffee, my favorite at Panera, hazelnut...literally room temp. Dumped it and got a cup of dark roast, even colder, dumped it. Light roast was nice and hot but no flavor! Breakfast served, steel cut oatmeal. Iced cold, dry as a desert floor, and a pain to get a little milk. Returned, money back. Breakfast sandwich was at best luke warm. Bye, bye Panera! read more

I love getting the soup there. It is always very tasty. However today I treated myself to a brownie and it was hard as a hockey puk! It seemed several days old. Will not be buying that again. read more

I have been going to Panera bread in so many different states mostly Michigan Kalamazoo Grand rapids I believe Austin Texas and various other towns in Texas and found it to have good service fast and good coffee today I discovered the Panera bread and Missoula Montana which is the worst Panera bread in the country. I waited in line for 20 minutes for coffee there was a problem with my subscription but that was not the main problem. The main problem after waiting that bomb I did not get three creams of my coffee and my coffee was the most disgusting cup of coffee I ever had a Panera bread read more

Not what I ordered and found a hair in my food. Tried to call the store about my order but the phone rings out. Took it back and walked out. I'm glad I wasted my money. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Went through the drive through and ordered a large Caesar salad with chicken with no crutons, which was over 10.00. I got home and had a salad that didn't seem very large with nothing but powdered Parmesan and two cups of dressing. I called and the guy was nice and said they would fix it so I drove back to Panera. Got back to work and the salad was still small, I'd hate to see the small size but at least it had chicken on it. I started eating it and found one of the ends of a Romain lettuce head in my salad. And I also found a disgusting brown piece of lettuce in my salad. It was so gross. I'll never go back. read more

Panera Bread - This was also in my salad - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Horrible on so many levels. Wrong salad swiiiimming in dressing. Left off part of our order. Manager flirted with the cashier then left her a cookie ON THE BARE COUNTER in front of me whilst she screwed up the order. Signage in the store offered a "combo" that the store doesn't offer. I'm starving and from out of town--fingers crossed we aren't throwing up later. read more

Went through drive in ordered soup and sadly did not get any spoon. Got a knife for bread and butter but no spoon for my soup. But still food did not fail to impress. Love Panera but no spoon for SOUP! read more

Great curbside service. Their online ordering was a bit of a hassle. Very disappointed with the portion size of their ten dollar broccoli Mac n cheese. Small. I have a pic which I hope to post. Also, the broccoli in that dish is squish. Frozen and unplentiful. Lots of cheesy sauce though. Gross. The sandwich was tasty but tiny as well for the price. Better options for sure in this valley. Yelp wants me to do shit I don't want to in order to post the pic of Mac and cheese. I'm also old and not internet savvy. So, there's that. Very small quantity for the price. Great service for pick up. Buyer beware. read more

Standard food at an un-standard price. The bread making helps in creating appetizing smells, the cost that you pay for a small bowl of soup is outrageous. The cost of a sandwich is way more than you would spend elsewhere. If you like a place that is a fad restaurant, then this is for you. I can take it or leave it. read more

Love the fact they have a drive-thru. Super convenient and easy. Pretty consistent and nothing like warm soup on a cold day

Really wish we had read the recent reviews first. We ordered 4 soups and a sandwich. One soup didn't come with any silverware so we asked for a spoon. We were rudely told to use a "to-go" plastic spoon. Found brown lettuce on an otherwise mostly good Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich (the tomato was pretty good!) The baguettes were mushy, not enough to call soggy, but ... spongy, maybe? Then we discovered that two of the soups (broccoli cheddar) had hairs in them. The employees tried to convince us that it was just the way this soup is. We regularly eat at Panera's in other locations around the country and have never experienced this. The employees took those two bowls away & gave us two new bowls. Same thing. A third bowl ended up having hair in it, too, so we picked it out to examine it. DEFINITELY hair. We wasted $50 because none of us could eat any of it after being so disgusted (repeatedly); even my iron-stomach son couldn't eat his soup. This was 100% disappointing. Travelers beware! I hope the owners are reading these and get this location fixed. Upsetting experiences seem to be the norm here. read more

Ordered ahead and when I got there it came out right away and it stayed nice the 20minutes home!

We waited over 45 minutes in the drive through. The food was okay. But they gave us the wrong drink initially and then gave me my drink only partially filled. Their customer service was not great. Won't be returning. read more
