So I suspect this is likely shame on me as possibly I should have heeded the rumblings I've heard about the Panera Bread on 105 in Montgomery but last night I bought a salad from there through the drive thru. The lettuce was truly sub par - going bad with actual brown rot in some cases. When I got home I called and Brenden who answered the phone spent the beginning of the call telling me I was wrong about the lettuce. Not the best way to start. Long story short, in order to receive any recompense I had to bring the salad back to Panera and Brenden was just as delightful in person as he was on the phone. I got my $12 back and found something else for dinner somewhere else. I will likely not spend my cash at the Montgomery Panera Bread location again and add my voice to the rumblings I'd heard about this location to forewarn others. #panera read more

My host was Randle and he did an awesome job of taking care of me and my weird sandwich request! I recently had jaw surgery so this is my first sandwich and it had to be fabulous or it wasn't going in my mouth. He made me a Black Forest ham Gouda on toasted baguette then we added turkey AND bacon! Randle also recommended that we join the Panera club. I did it right at the register and was eligible for a free huge cinnamon roll because my birthday is on Saturday. I'm not normally a Panera kind of girl but Randle definitely made this an awesome stop in our day!! read more

Panera Bread - Kelli's MARVELOUS yummy toasty sandwich - Salad Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

Pros: this location is always clean and friendly whenever ordering for dine in. I've never had an issue with service or the quality. Cons: EVERY online or pick up order I've had has been incorrect with items missing and quality could be better. The order I picked up today had two incorrect coffees and an expired cream cheese. If you're not eating here, skip this location and go to the McDonald's drive thru across the street read more

My Mom and I went here for dinner on 4/8/25. We had gift cards from Christmas, otherwise, we probably wouldn't ever have gone thanks to the reviews seen here. However, we both ended up being pleasantly surprised. We walked in with apprehension and gave the restaurant a once over to check for cleanliness, and found everything to be perfectly fine and in order. The employee that took our order was nice and our food came out exactly as ordered: I got the You Pick Two (half fontega chicken sandwich with no tomato and half chicken Cesar salad) and my Mom got a half Asian Sesame Chicken Salad. There were absolutely no issues with any of it; everything tasted great and fresh. Our entrees had ample chicken, toppings, and dressings. The only reason I'm not giving this restaurant a perfect 5 stars is because the tables probably stand to be replaced thanks to some light staining. Please don't let the negative reviews here deter you from giving this Panera Bread a chance. read more

Absolutely no one in the store or drive through. I pull through and pickup my online order. Two soups in bread bowls. Thankfully I checked because no bread bowls.....it's not like they were busy. The drive through person was more interested in chatting it up with her co worker than completing a customers order correctly. Manager...pay better attention. read more

Everything.bread is ok but did not have packaging to take the sliced bread home.the cashier wearing ball cap sideways but he was friendly.the new management has to get a well trained staff and a new bread slicing machine.very dull. read more

I want to love this location but they're so hit or Miss. a lot of the times they are out of things on the menu. Or they make you the wrong thing like chicken salad instead of tuna salad. Mistakes happen I get it. The manager fixed that issue that day. However the reason I'm writing this review is they advertise their new items. I went to try something new on their menu. When I asked to order it they said that they were sorry and that they didn't have any of them prepped. When I asked is it an item you only have on certain days like their soups, to which he responded no it just depends if someone preps it or not. If it's not prepped then put a paper over it on the menu or make it on certain days if the staff can't prep it everyday? What's the point of even having new things advertised. read more

I haven't eaten at Panera bread for two or three years and ordered the broccoli cheese soup which is now been cut halfway with water. It was horrible. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich which had maybe 1/18 of a pound of chicken, I took on side of the bread off And still had no visible chicken If you're cutting back because of cost, you should say that or keep your quality and raise the price. You will not see me back there again. read more

Food is so yummy and the restaurant is clean. It's kinda hidden on 105 but don't forget about it!! Plus it has a drive thru!

Do not eat here. The food is not fresh. They are out of avocados chicken, most kinds of lettuce. But most importantly, the lettuce was brown. This place do not eat here. The food is not fresh.

This has to be the worst location of a Panera that I've ever been to. It started with the girl at the register when we came in to order. While I realize it's hard to find good workers these days, she neither smiled or seemed at all friendly. This is the customer's first encounter with someone at your establishment. She was horrible. The food was mediocre. Nothing like I remember the Panera of days past. I went to the ladies room and no hot water came out. The lone sink looked like they had taken it from an abandoned farmhouse or something like that. It looked 50 years old with all the 50 years of dirt on it. It was disgusting. I asked to speak to a manager- surely it's against code to not have running hot water in a bathroom? She seems so unconcerned or interested in hearing my viewpoint or experience at her location. It was like she was irritated that I wanted to voice my concerns. This is the last time I will ever step foot in this location. I should have followed my gut when I saw the 2 star reviews!!!! read more

No staff at registers. Cold coffee. Dirtiest restrooms. Seems the chain is going down hill in general. This location is particularly disappointing. . read more

Horrible good made my boyfriend sick. Thankfully I stopped eating before I knew something was off with the chicken. Health department asap.

I moved to the area about four months ago. Loved my old local Panera bread. I must say that this location is awesome! Sarah helped me today get my turkey club on Chabata. She was engaging and sweet. Whenever I've ordered fir pickup and they' were out of something, they were very accommodating and apologetic. I realize sometimes things won't be in stock but we are in unusual times. I'm grateful for the smiles they the pleasant attitude they have when they hand me my order! Keep up the good work! read more

This Panera I've been to a handful of times now and I like that it usually is pretty quiet, clean, the staff is friendly and I receive my food quickly and accurately. However at least two separate times my broccoli cheddar soup was not very hot when it came out. That was disappointing but I guess that's what happens since it's not too busy. But like I said other than that very pleased read more

Panera Bread - Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Green Goddess Cobb Salad - Salad Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

they forget items from your order every single time. don't waste ur time coming to this location.

Today, I ordered 2 small mac & cheese bowls (the bowl is literally no bigger than my fist), a sweet tea, and a coffee, and my total was $18. I didn't initially mind the price because I have always loved Panera's dishes and found them worth it. BUT the MAJOR ISSUE I'm reviewing about IS THE INSECT BODY PART that was found in the cheese. After finishing my bowl, my boyfriend and I looked down to find an insect leg in the cheese. And no, before you think it (because initially, I did), this insect did not come from the outside because I was inside the entire time the container was opened. Needless to say, I am beyond disgusted and extremely dissatisfied with this location's services. Sad to see so many other horrible reviews and ratings for this location. read more

Sorry to read about some unpleasant experiences... Good, healthy food is not sitting under a heat lamp waiting to be served. Our experiences have been exactly the opposite. We moved to Montgomery in late May and Panera delivery really came through for us during the move week. So much so, that we order frequently now. The staff here have been friendly, helpful and efficient. We have tried several items and really enjoy that most come with that great crusty bread or a choice of another. In soups: Broccoli Cheddar, Baked Potato, Creamy Tomato and the Southwest Chicken Tortilla Bowl. In sandwiches: Steak & White Cheddar Panini and Steak & Arugula. In salads: Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken, Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken, Spicy Thai Salad with Chicken and Greek Salad. And finally from baked goods we have enjoyed: Cherry & the Chocolate pastries; Cinnamon Crunch & Wild Blueberry Scones; Raspberry Almond Thumbprint & Lemon Drop Cookies; and the Double Fudge Brownie (my fav). Also tried several bagels. It was a nice touch when they were out of a bagel we ordered online - They gave us 2. Everything is always fresh, tasty and decent portion sizes. I can only say the only thing I would have changed out of all that was a little more steak on the sandwiches, a little more cucumber when it's a side added to a salad and a little more feta in those dishes. I like this place and feel good about ordering out when it's like this. read more

See all

You get what you get. I order delivery from here a few times a month. Its really the only place that delivers near work. I order the same thing every time. Grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup. It seems it's really the only item they can't mess up. It's not great. It's not terrible. Any time I order something different, it's just wrong. From frozen chicken on salads, no dressing, sandwiches with broken bread (like can't even hold the sandwich). It's DECENT fast food. And I'd rather eat here than anywhere else on 105. read more

Panera Bread - Grilled cheese. Tomato basil soup. - Salad Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

We attempted to order online but for some reason it would not complete so we went to this location on Lake Conroe and ordered our food to go. When we told the young lady at the counter that we had difficulty with the online order and did she have any idea why, her only response was rude and short - very unfriendly. Now for the food - we ordered 2 salads and 2 sandwiches. The salads we not edible. Lettuce was not fresh at all - it was all soggy and nasty tasting. Panera advertises fresh and wholesome food. This is NOT what were served. When you pay a premium price for food you do expect a certain quality and this was terrible. Some fast food restaurants serve better quality than this. We were going to cater a small gathering with Panera but this experience has completely changed our minds. Be ware and forewarned. This place has pathetic quality and rude employees. Never going here again. read more

Ugh....that's what I get for giving it another chance. Another 1-star review. This is a franchised Panera that simply is awful. Most recent order, again a catering order, and literally EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. was wrong. I purposely picked it up, because I didn't want it to get delivered, wrong. It was 30 minutes late coming out, missing several items, and even the salad dressings that GO WITH THE SALAD were the wrong ones. One salad had 2 little dressing containers of DIFFERENT dressings! Seriously!!!???? I even pre-tip my catering orders, and I was so mad, I wanted to take back the tip. Do yourself a favor.....make the drive to the Panera at 105 & I-45. Always ready, always right, clean location, super nice. I've ordered from that location for years, literally maybe 50 or more times, and I have NEVER, not once, had so much as one item missing. read more

First time the restaurant was dirty with a bad smell at the beverage station. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, asked that the egg be cooked with no runny yolk, was assured it would be thoroughly cooked. Food was take out, in the car first bite into sandwich runny egg yolk dripped everywhere. ‍ Second visit was with friends who wanted to eat there, so I went along. Again, bad smell at beverage station, dirty tables, disinterested staff, gross food. Six months later I needed a quick salad to take to a meeting so decided to try again, hopeful past issues had been resolved. Salad consisted of limp iceberg lettuce (the kind you would probably throw out), a few pieces of chicken and croutons. After eating half I bit into some plastic wrap , had to throw the rest out. I love the concept of Panera, the menu, and usually quick service. However, this location just doesn't know what the heck they're doing and I won't go back. read more

only got a drink and cup was filthy don't go here! food is normally pretty meh. dining room looks like crap smells, and is filthy. Shut this place down! read more

I bought a loaf of bread. It was sliced thick like chunks of bread. I called as soon as I got home and asked to exchange it. They basically said oh well sorry about that. I feel the staff is poorly trained if they don't know to ask how odd like it sliced and the default slice should not be chunks of bread. Very disappointed. Plus they changed the recipe. Lacks density of the old recipe. read more

This location just cannot get it right. Every time I have ever visited something has been either missing or wrong. Tonight my mother ordered us to go food. I ordered a you-pick-2, half tomato soup & half Caesar salad-- mine was admittedly right, besides the salad being miniature (even for a half, I exclusively get this order and have never had my salad be this small) and there was hardly any cheese, but it was fine. She, however, ordered the Turkey Avocado BLT and it had neither avocado or bacon.. I just.... the ingredients are literally in the name!! How? How?! The employees are very sweet most of the time, they just can't seem to actually do their job correctly. This is the last time my family and I will be visiting this location or perhaps Panera Bread in general. Do yourself a favor and save your money, time, and frustration. read more

I recently moved into the area where this Panera Bread is located and have ordered food using their online app several times. I've yet to be disappointed with either the food or the service from here. One item I find myself ordering every time is their broccoli cheddar Mac & cheese. It has a very creamy cheese sauce and the broccoli brings lots of flavor. All the sandwiches and salads I've had from there have been fresh and as good as expected. The flatbread pizzas need some work though. They taste good, but lack the cheese you would expect. My only real complaint is the price of the food. It's very easy for two people to spend $30.00 or more on deli fare. Overall this location is fast, convenient and offers decent food. I just don't feel that they are reasonably priced for what you get. read more

Love the food, but super disappointed in the customer service. I'm usually not one to complain on drive through or food workers because I worked in food for 4 years. But the customer service here was not good today.. my sandwich looks horrible, the girl working the DT was super short and rude. Maybe she was having a bad day... I always try to give people the benefit of doubt, but this was my first time eating here since I moved into town in March and I probably be going back read more

Well we usually eat there 2 days a week We order at drive thru and the Hispanic girl At the window that takes the orders is VERY VERY RUDE!!!!!! This is the second time today that it happened i Have had it !!!!!! There are too many hungry people looking for a job that would act so much better at a window!!!! This girl Has no business greeting people period !!!!!!!! Look at all there reviews they are awful!!!!!!!! read more

Drive thru for one breakfast wrap and a tea took 15 minutes. Food was fine, but don't have a drive thru if your drive thru customers have to go and pick up the order and the order comes out incorrectly. Nice apologetic manager, but on the pickup box it has a statement something like, 'If your order isn't correct, we'll give you a free pastry.' It's as if they are expecting to make a mistake. read more

We love Panera I miss their delivery drivers that they use to have. Now they are using door dash for their delivers. The reason why I am giving them 2 stars is because of our food being over half hour late and us having to call door dash to see where our food is. Since they are not using their own delivery drivers. I hate to give Panera 2 stars when it's not Panera's fault it's door dashes fault. Do not do delivery if you want Panera do pick up instead. read more

Very small portions and long waits. Paid $20 and waited in the drive thru 20 minutes for the attached image. Called the manager, who in her defense was very nice. She said, "Ma'am, the portions come in a bag. We just heat them up." Chicken was rubbery and slimy too. read more

Okay so I frequent Panera in Montgomery off of 105. There have been numerous times that I have been in and they are out of numerous things. It happened again today when I went in there. Currently, there are members of staff, as well as one I believe to be a manager on duty, sitting down in the lobby on their phones and laughing astoundingly loud. This is not the first time this has happened, in fact I have changed where I sit if I am going to be in the lobby for a period of time because it always seems to occur. Like I stated they are very loud and stating obscenities. This is very unprofessional and causes a bad look for the establishment. I hope this issue gets fixed. read more

Food is ok and things looked clean. Issue here is service. The little things you expect when you visit a Panera bread aren't there. The place decided to substitute ingredients and didn't ask before hand. That'll eventually get you sued when someone has an allergic reaction. My chicken Caesar was served with a "southwestern" seasoned chicken breast and I wasn't asked if I'd like an apple or bread. Nothing major, but enough to know this place has plenty of work needed. read more

These guys are making us crazy. We love their SW Salad with Chicken and several of their soups, and we'd order takeout at least twice a week. BUT they can't seem to keep anything in stock - today they're out of LETTUCE. So we'll go somewhere else, again. Two weeks in a row, three of the last five, we couldn't get what we wanted. And, we're not talking foie gras here, we're talking LETTUCE, or Corn Chowder, or Tortilla Soup. Yes, we realize times are tough, and we're lucky they have anything at all. But let's compare them to the rest of the restaurants up and down 105. No other restaurant in the area has run out of anything more than once, or most never have. Fajita Jack's, Wolfie's, Tony's, Kitchen Tales, etc. - whatever you want, whenever you want it. Oddly enough, Panera is the only one of these that's part of a large corporation. Shouldn't that make it easier for them to get stuff? Shouldn't they have more resources, more suppliers, more stability? Guess not. read more

In regard to the negative comments about food and drink quality, you must first understand that Panera is simply overpriced hospital food and is microwaved for the most part. In regard to orders being messed up or poor customer service, their staff consists of teenagers that won't ask for anything above minimum wage. The only saving grace for this establishment is Kimberly/Kimmy, she properly cleans equipment, is kind to all customers, actually makes sure that things get done efficiently. David knew what he was doing when he hired her but it is a shame that her co-workers don't bring the same standard that she delivers every time she clocks in. read more

Awful... Ordered 3 bagels toasted with cream cheese, 1 vanilla latte and 2 mocha lattes. Not a difficult order. Received 1 toasted bagel with cream cheese.,2 bagels, not toasted, no cream cheese and no knives, 1 vanilla latte as ordered and 2 regular lattes, not mochas as ordered. I told the manager about the screwup who seemed to not care. I told him he needs to train his people to get orders right, his response was " I'm sorry you feel that way" and walked away. Never to return! If I could I could post a minus one, I would. read more
