Kellie D.

Recently started visiting this Panera because it is close to my job. I usually stop in for a soda before work and at lunch. It is always clean and well stocked and employees are friendly. The parking lot is very small, though, and sometimes is full. Today I ordered a salad for lunch and cinnamon roll to go. I ordered on the app and it was ready and correct when I arrived. I ordered the chicken balsamic salad with greens and grains. They were out of avocado but the app did alert me of that when I ordered. The salad was really good -- lots of flavor. Overall a nice lunch.

Though I have lived in Cary for over 20 years I seldom visit Panera for the reasons I encountered today. Basically they run out of stuff & don't tell you until after you've ordered & paid. Not a great customer experience at all & the food is meh. I ordered a soup, coffee & muffin for a total of $15.32! I used the kiosk for this order. Once completed my payment I grabbed a cup & poured what was warm coffee at best. I waited & my soup was ready rapidly. I was then informed that my pumpkin muffin was not available & I was asked if I wanted another treat. I commented no as that was for my daughter. The guy at the food counter said he would refund the $$ & within 24 hours it did go through. The time of my visit 3:29 pm. I'll avoid this Panera in the future as my experience today was very similar to past experiences. I'm not keen to pay top dollar for luke warm coffee & no muffin. I spoke with the team manager who said that it's normal for them to be out of stuff after the morning. He said I should see a refund within 24 hours. The girl at the front counter was on her phone & as I told her about my situation she was literally speechless. Maybe next time I should visit in the morning?

The few ingredients for my sandwich.

This is the new recipe for the toasted garden caprese. They need to work on something more than their recipes!?! Quality would be nice. I can't believe any employee would think this was sellable.

Whipped Butter Packet in the bottom of my salad bowl

Gross and acted like it was no biggie. The salad which I unfortunately started to eat had a Ton of dressing and then this- so I was fine to cut my meal short

Chicken noodle soup bowl

I gave it a 3 because of being quick. Now I think Panera needs to ramp up their food. We paid 20$ my husband got a tea I got a water I ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup with a apple. Hubs ordered chicken avocado melt with chips. That's not much and if you see the sandwich they really put a thick slice of avocado but not enough chicken. Sadly we never come to Panera anymore or rarely because they just have not been up to par. This just showed us yet again why we rarely come here. Staff was friendly and nice. And fast and efficient.

Apple, chicken strawberry poppy seed salad along with berries and vibrant citrus fruits as well as a Mediterranean sandwich

WHAT THE HECK?! They are so nice here!! They actually anticipated my order at the drive through and were smiling at me when handing me my order at the window! I haven't experienced that at many other places so that says a lot how they select their staff. Small gestures go a long way to make someone's day. LOVE this Panera since they are SO ccommodating to folks with multiple food allergies! I am deathly allergic to nuts so eating out is hard. Also allergic to milk and avocado so options are limited. However they take the time to make choices that are are SAFE for me. Other Panera locations literally just said "just look online" and put little effort into helping. The staff seem to magically remember my order every morning really makes me feel valued and happy to support this business! Love their menu and how I can eat healthy foods even on a limited diet. Big fan of their Mediterranean sandwich without cheese and strawberry poppyseed salad without nuts! So beautiful too!

We finally got a chance to stop by Panera Bread to see what all the hype was about over their new Flatbread Marketing promotion that's on tv these days. Im also participating in their three month free coffee promotion which is an awesome deal by the way, so we went for it. The Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Flatbread did not disappoint. We ordered it through the drive through and it was ready in about 3-5 minutes after we got to the window. Id love to see how they are executing their flatbreads in the kitchen one of these days. Im going to have to go make friends with one of the managers LOL. It was a great flatbread, full of flavor, slightly crispy and quite enjoyable. Id recommend giving them a try. #eatingwithchefseanandre Its Gon Be Dope! #wefindthefood

Trash under every table
Kenneth D.

Wow where to start! Terrible stench as we entered. Must be from the carpet. This place is filthy. Lots of trash under every table and doesn't look like they ever sweep. These pucks were during slow time when they could be cleaning but looks like they would prefer to just goof off in back. Will not be back. Permanently off our list.

Baja Mac & Cheese Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Chai Tea Latte
Jaime S.

I love Panera Bread! It's the perfect place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I visited this location in the Park West shopping center on a Tuesday afternoon. I chose this location because I had an event later in the evening in the Cary area and I had a few hours of work to get done before hand, and Panera is a great place to get work done too. I tried the Baja Mac & Cheese for the first time as part of my pick two and loved it. They add the perfect amount of pico and avocado to pair with the Mac & Cheese. I also almost always get the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, which is always delicious. Another great visit at Panera Bread!!

Yummy veggie soup !
Tammy M.

I have to admit that their new service of order online and pickup (on a special shelf in back of the store) has become one of my favorites. You specify what time you want your order to be done. I have used this several times and have never been disappointed. Their vegetable soup has become one of my favorites. It has so many vegies in it. Maybe even barley ? Quinoa ? I can't figure it all out by the stuff is delicious. Last time I got the "Pick 2" and had the soup and a half of the Frontega Chicken (I think) it's a panini. The sandwich was very good. Just a tid bit on the greasy side (from the grill). I will come again and I will use the "Rapid Pickup" again. Good job Panera.

They were doing everything right, even down to the Dr Brown's, and they had ZERO flavors too. There is a meat and cheese counter,r but most of the length of the shop is pastries, cakes, pies, es and other beautiful-looking treats. We ordered our sandwiches; I had an Italian sub, and it was just ok, kind of dry and lacking in flavor; frankly, Jersey Mike's makes a better Italian. But my wife got theReubenn, and it was simply the best Reuben we've had outside of Katz in NYC. I order Rueben's all the time, and I'm consistently disappointed. Most are dried out, have too little meat, and the corned beef is often dry, but not in this case. The sandwich was truly worthy, and we are ready to go back and have it again. Moist, flavorful meat, a generous portion, and the dressing andkraut weres well balanced. The bread was grilled, not toasted, and was itself rich and flavorful. Altogether, it is a Reuben worth driving a distance to have it. We are already planning to come back and try some of the baked goods, but also get the Reuben again too.

This time I ordered ahead and made my own. Yum. Loved skipping the line and just picking it up. Marble rye toasted, mustard, smoked cheddar, spinach, red onions and turkey. The sandwich was huge. I also asked for a pickle and got two over wrapped spears. While I didn't love all the plastic, they were great. Nice surprise. I had the second half for breakfast the next day.

You walk in and have a little self-type market area and immediately to the right there are refrigerators with prepared meals to buy and take home. Straight after the Shelf section there is the butcher shop with all cuts of meats. I liked the concept where you could even pick your meats and have the chef cook them there for you and you can dine in! They also had an area for dining in and sitting at a bar. The bar had many choices of drinks and a wine section in the back to the side. There was a patio area as well. I decided to have some lunch so I got the salmon BLT which was delicious and I got the side of hot honey brussel sprouts. I ordered some lasagna to take home for a meal later. The salmon was cooked perfectly at a medium temperature and the flavoring was great. The brussel sprouts had just enough kick to them and was a great portion size for two or more. The lasagna was good and also a good size but it is a little bit spicy so if you dont like spice be prepared for a little tiny bit. All was delish.The pricing for everything is on point and not too expensive. They also have specials most of the days of the week! Peyton helped me with my to go orders and I met Ralph the owner who told me about the concept of everything. I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend! Second time back was wonderful! Sat and dined in. I got the $1 wings special with barbecue, mac and cheese, and salmon salad. The wings were jumbo size which is great because unlike other places they weren't the size of your pinky. The mac and cheese was very flavorful with the small crisp. The salmon salad was neat because it came and deconstructed segments so you could really pick which toppings you wanted on each bite. The dressing on it was amazing and so was the ranch for the wings. I was attended to by Desiah and Liam who were other so personable and lovely! All of the portions are amazing and I love it because I have food for a few days. Definitely going to come back again to try some of the new items that they've added to their menu.

They have a full menu or you can pick out a steak of your choice and they will grill it for you. There is no corking fee so you can buy a bottle and drink it there with your steak. A huge selection of meats and wines. As far as the 6 course dinner, everything I had was really good. My favorite was the Pan Seared American Wagyu and the Olive Oil cake.

The interior is glass on two sides, so it very bright, and appointed with comfy chairs with waist-high dividers around the bar and small table area. My friend arrived at 5:15 as promised and we were escorted to a table further down the building. The bartender brought my bill to the table later, and I asked if it could be added to the total but he said no. I had read about the pimento cheese wontons, so we decided to try those as a starter. They arrived hot and dressed with a red pepper jelly sauce. (Not too hot, a nice foil to the pimento cheese!) My friend liked them as well. Neither of us are eating large meals these days, so we opted to share an entree. We decided on the NY Strip steak ($38) which comes with smoked potato au gratin and collard greens. We tried to sub the greens for anything else, and the only other option was Brussels sprouts. (Green beans? Broccoli? Asparagus? Anything else? Nope, just stinky stuff.) So, stinky veggies were the only option. (We asked the waiter not to bring them, but they arrived anyway, and we had someone remove them quickly!) The potato's turned out to be more a chunky soup, rather than a casserole, but were tasty. Just difficult to share. (No spoons were offered for the soup!) The steak was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection (rare/medium rare) with a nice finishing sauce, and was just enough. Somehow, that steak, the wonton app ($11) and a regular house marg were billed at $88 after tax, which meant over $100 with tip, but I was enjoying my friend's company too much to dispute the bill. After I left, I did the math and figure they charged extra for something in there. But I was gone and never take the receipt, because most waitstaff do a good job of putting info into the POS system. Maybe I need to reassess my trust of waitstaff data entry. Suffice it to say this will not be a regular spot I go to. Stinky veggies, poor data entry and sides that can't easily be shared made for a sour first impression. The steak was good, but I can't find that extra $30 in anything, unless it was the toxic veggie disposal fee.
