    Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad with Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup You Pick Two
    Cat C.

    On our drive home from the Midwest, we were looking for and quick, convenient and healthy dinner. This is located a mile off the highway in a shopping center. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and efficient. You can't go wrong with a meal at Panera, it is delish!

    The workers here aren't very attentive and the people in the kitchen especially didn't seem to be putting much attention into anything. My sandwich came out so tiny, one slice of turkey, and barely any bacon. Not to mention how thin the bread was! It was not worth the money at all, I've never been to a Panera that served their food like this, it is horrible.

    I've seen a few other reviews on this place, and they're pretty much exactly as they seem. Granted, I've had this ciabatta cheesesteak a handful of times and it usually isn't this rough. The workers who prepared the food were super disorganized, the one young lady, "Carmel" was so chaotic and she had knocked into the other employees a multitude of times. It took 36 minutes for the cheesesteak to be made. Overall the line was annoyingly long, and the expression from other customers were accurately similar to mine. I'm completely discontent, and would not recommend to be served by this same woman again.

    Panera Bread has always been a reliable place for decent food, nice selection and friendly staff. Tonight, the United Methodist Church of Waterloo Village held a fundraiser at this location, so of course I happily supported their cause. Also, it was a great excuse to purchase cinnamon scones and some cookies! Their salads are my personal favorite, tonight tried the southwest Chile lime with chicken, nice! Plenty to take home for tomorrow and I love Panera bread.

    One of my favs from panera. Chicken soup in a sourdough bread bowl! Mmm

    Any chain like panera everything will be the same food wise. The decor and restaurant layout will be very similar. But the thing that will set them apart is the staff. I love most things that comes out of paneras kitchen from the smoothies to paninis to soups. There is a wider variety to chose from. My favs include the tomato mozzarella panini and the chicken soup in a sourdough bread bowl. They service at this particular location is fast and friendly Recent I had used their new mobile app ordering system to order and 1/2 and 1/2. Half soup and half sandwich. When I got it home I opened my dinner to see there was now turkey on the half of a turkey sandwich I order. So o called the store talked to the manager and what they did for me was beyond satisfying. The made me a whole sandwich fresh refunded the full amount of my purchase have me a few bags of chips and offered me a free bakery item. Overall I walked out of there a happy customer and will continue to be for many more dinners to come

The waiter then told me it was because they ordered a new brand..... apparently this new brand can't be cooked properly and won't come out the same time as your food... Drinking my coffee, I get to the bottom of the cup and there is a hair that looked like a pube at the bottom of my cup....

Plenty of soups to choose from if you are so inclined. Hubby and I wanted to split some mousaka, but alas they didn't have any so I opted for the Greek wrap sans onions. It was tasty but could've used more chicken. It was more of a salad w/ a smacking of chicken wrapped up. Hubby got the chicken raspberry salad. It was huge but considering the size, there was only 1 piece of chicken and he said that it wasn't really seasoned. There were a fair amount of walnuts but he had to ask for more dressing. The apple was cut into slices so hubby asked for a knife and cut it up so he could cut it up himself. He wasn't thrilled with the salad and left half of it which was $18.58! He thought it could use some type of cheese or something to give it more umph. On a side note, they need to update their bathrooms. The toilet was cracked and leaked when you flushed. There were no towels and the hand drier didn't work. All in all, it wasn't the best visit we've had but our server was nice and I would like to come back again and try their coffees.

My entire family enjoyed all their meals, from the veal saltimbocca, to the grilled salmon with honey mustard. Loved them all. The appetizers of calamari fried and delicious, the charcuterie boards were plentiful, with salami's/prosciutto and the best sliced mozz I've had in a while.

This was, sadly, not a good meal and based on expectations easily one of the most disappointing experiences I've had in recent memory. I came here yesterday with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex, along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum, fresh off a 20-mile walk down the Sussex Branch Rail Trail - so a bit tired and very hungry. Black Forest got me (and my appetite) in the best situation for them, in theory. Unfortunately it stayed just a theory. The atmosphere in here by far is the biggest selling point. I love a good taxidermy situation, and this place had it in droves. We were seated near a bear, and had eyes on numerous other wildlife, preserved for eternity. The stained glass throughout the restaurant is also pretty wild - it feels like you decided to go to church in a European hunting lodge. It's also deceptively large in there, which I discovered later as I tried to locate the bathroom (there is no signage for that) and wandered into two or three different dining rooms. Just wild and really does set this place apart from virtually any other restaurant in the area (maybe the far superior Walpack Inn can lay a claim?). I was intrigued by the Potato Pancakes w/ Applesauce on the appetizer menu, which ended up being the best item I ate. As you can see in the attached photo, they're basically big hash browns. They were good, and the applesauce made for an interesting palate combo. In what ended up being a bizarre theme throughout the meal, the accompanying applesauce came in a small plastic container that you had to open. This to me is one of the more egregious self-inflicted wounds I've seen from a restaurant, but also pretty fixable. This wasn't a crab shack at the beach or a taqueria in Newton - this is a restaurant with white tablecloths. Why aren't you serving the accompanying sides in a nicer dish, like a ramekin? What makes it more mystifying is that they HAD ramekins or something similar - they served the wrapped butter for the stale dinner rolls in it. I genuinely don't have a clue what the thought process was, but it honestly cheapened the optics and is something they should stop doing immediately. For my entree, I went classic German with the veal wienerschnitzel and a side of spatzle. The wienerschnitzel itself was fine - I've honestly had better from a food truck in Jersey City called Mordi's (I just checked and sadly they've closed), but it had no sauce or anything so it was super dry and overall not that tasty as a result. It would have even been an upgrade to get one of their infamous plastic containers of basically any condiment. The spatzle was honestly terrible; I had an excellent version of this at an Austrian restaurant in FiDI called Schilling (which has now converted to a French restaurant, apparently; I can't with these closures. Lord.), and this was just utterly tasteless. My chum likened it to "brain noodles," meaning the noodles you'd use in a blindfold game around Halloween. Fair, but even some of those probably had some flavor to them. Huge miss. I'm not sure why I kept going at this point but I decided to end this situation with the Black Forest Cake. It was a little stale (maybe it's kept in the same area as the dinner rolls?), but it was okay. Could have been worse, so I'm taking that as a victory of sorts. The chocolate mousse within it got positive remarks from my other dining companions in the context of their items, so that's probably the play if you're hitting up the dessert menu. The service was mediocre. Our waitress was very nice when she came to our table, which was infrequent. It seemed like she was waiting for food to come out (which took a while) as the context for a visit, rather than taking initiative to check on us. The Young Pup Chum waited close to 15 minutes for a second soda, which shouldn't have happened, especially given that we were there at a VERY slow time (just before 4pm). And the price point was honestly close to insulting. Neither of us are opposed to plunking down some Jacksons for a nice meal, but getting a bill for $200 (plus tip!) for not great food was not a fun feeling to close out our afternoon. I hate to end this on a dark note, but given that my two recommendations for German food in the area have both closed, you might not have much of a choice but to come here if you're hankering for schnitzel.
