Service is awful, the food is below par for Panera, they close the drink station down 30 minutes before closing, food is served on paper products because "we're closing in an hour and don't want to wash dishes", no side bread with choose 2 (really, no bread at Panera bread), packaging of food at drive through is awful..... Management at this location is awful. Such a disgrace to the Panera Brand! read more

Everything here tastes like plastic. Expensive plastic. I don't know why I keep going here, but I finally saw the light. The pastries are always hard and the bread is gross. Even the potato chips taste like plastic. Only eat here if you have no other option. read more

Stopped here to do a take out order today. First problem, no chicken and wild rice soup, which was on the daily menu. My black bean soup had maybe ten beans in it, and my Asian salad was low on romaine. As we were getting our bags, an employee yelled that they were out of salad...at 5 PM! Changes need to be made here or they will lose customers. Prices are ridiculous, too. I won't be back. read more

Place is run by a bunch of incompetent teens. They act like you're bothering them by approaching the front register. I of course do anything to avoid ordering in person and use the kiosk, but they won't give you bakery items unless you go to the front. Last time I was here, there was a group of 10-12 women who came in with Starbucks and let their small children run around playin hide and seek, took up 4 tables and the bathroom , and didn't order anything. Who's managing this place?! read more

Love the Mac and cheese. Only reason I come. But when I pay $8 for a large and it never comes more than half full in the container is not acceptable. read more

The General manager treats the employees like they are nothing. Does not help the employees out nor treat them with respect. I've seen employees come out crying about how they are disrespected and not treated like people. I've seen 1-2 staff members doing everything while everyone else just sat there and goofed off on the line. read more

We came here around 7:00 for a very late dinner. We order, we wait 15 minutes, and everything is going okay. As soon as we get our food, we notice that our order is messed up and we didn't even receive the toasted bagel that we ordered and paid for. I ordered a strawberry poppyseed salad and PAID EXTRA for chicken on it and dressing on the side. when i get my salad, THERE IS NO CHICKEN and they drenched the salad in dressing even after i told them not to. Just as we were finishing our meals, the waiter brings the UNTOASTED bagel out. Truly a disappointment considering that all of my other experiences with panera were good in the past in other locations. Maybe coming here at a different time would be better, but do not come late at night or for dinner. You will be disappointed. read more

Didn't purchase anything...was waiting outside in cold for friend to finish in eye express and manager offered to let me wait inside and offered a few coffee to keep me warm. Was very nice about the whole thing about me loitering around Store. Makes me want to eat thet read more

We paid $8.19 for mac and cheese and they didn't even fill the container. Such a rip off. Very disappointed. read more

Panera Bread - $8.19 for mac n cheese and they didn't even fill the container. - Sandwiches Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Worst service for a Panera bread I have seen. After placing a too go order and waiting, I notice the shift manager talking to two other young men. After the long conversation the two men placed their order. We waited and noticed no one in the kitchen were preparing any order. After about 8 minutes two salads were placed and names called. The two women must have been there well before us. Then the shift manager went to the kitchen and we watch as he prepared the order that were for his friends whom order after us. It took 15 from time we were given our receipt to the time we were handed our food, then the young women who came to the kitchen at the last minute said, "I am sorry I forgot your mac and cheese" As we were handed the food the second time, I said to her "the service here is horrible and without looking up at me, she said about that and walked off Will not go back, read more

Food was very good. I got the chicken/avocado panini plus the arugala & watermelon salad. My BIG problem is with how confusing the Pick 2 menu & pricing is. $57.00 for 4 people to eat 1/2 sandwich & salad??????? DAMN. JUST DAMN. read more

Service always seems to be lacking at this store. Today was no exception. Our food was in the window and our name was never called. There was virtually no one in here so it wasn't a scenario where we didn't hear because it was too noisy. Ridiculous! The same thing happened to others as well. read more

From the 10+ times I've ordered here, everything has been standard 'Panera'. Pricey, but with good ingredients. 3 stars because I've only had one nice staff member ever. One! At the register or drive-thru they hardly smile, say two words to you, or even look you in the eye. I'd really love to see the management work on this! It's the reason I don't come very often. read more

I order the same salad EVERY day for lunch at least 5 days a week. The staff here is mediocre at best. They should ask you for your Panera number when you order, because they don't and when you get to the pickup window they will tell you it's too late to do it then. EVERY DAY I order extra chicken on my salad, and of course I pay for that. Today they did not give me the extra chicken and I am feeling a bit ripped off since I paid for it and didn't figure it out until I got to work with my salad. I think I will get my salads at Wendy's or Chik-fil-A from now on. Both are practically right next door anyway. read more

My husband and I stopped into N.MB Panara Bread for the half sandwich and half salad. Besides our order coming out wrong or incomplete the bill for a sad over dryed out chef chicken sandwich was over $40 ! We were charged $10.99 for sandwich said they didn't do it in half...hers a though dont put it as an option with half sandwhich and salad. I was suppose to have a free drink...not another $2.79 the half salad was missing the chicken and our $.99 cookies had to be asked for twice! I understand businesses are struggling for good workers and food prices have gone up but better quality food in smaller quantities would be better than the dried out overpriced meal we had. Will not be back. read more

Not sure why I have seen such low ratings, I have been coming to this location because it is the closed to me. I must the service has been exceptional. Every time I order they are quick and efficient. Couldn't ask for more read more

I usually love this place but I received horrible food this time. I ordered at 8:20 PM and ordered a green goddess cob salad with a steak sandwich and I ordered my friend the same thing. 1. My salad had ONLY lettuce. No pickled onions, no arugula, kale or anything besides chicken and lettuce. 2. The avocado i added that was EXTRA on my sandwich, was horrible. It was brownish red and tasted completely disgusting. 3. There was absolutely no bread left so i ended up having to get chips when I don't eat chips. I love this place but just because you are closing in 40 min doesn't mean the customers should get horrible food and missing food especially when they pay for extra for it. Now I'm just eating lettuce with a piece of bacon and maybe 2 pieces of chicken. Thanks Panera! read more

See all

This restaurant in my opinion is starting to go downhill. There was a time that this was my go to lunch place. I ordered the Fuji salad and instead of Fuji apples they gave me dried apples. My husband ordered the soup and found it to taste much like Campbell's soup. He wonders why they stop making the black bean soup. What's going on here? read more

Always my go too, with three options to get your food. They even deliver to my house! I chose the Rapid pickup and ordered online. They were ready right on time food was hot and fresh. Staff are always friendly and engaging. read more

The first time I ate at Panera I had a panini. It was so good I couldn't wait to go back. The next time I ordered it again and it wasn't pressed. I didn't want to make a fuss bec we had friends with us. Today I go again and suggest that my friend get the panini also. Again it came out not pressed. I specifically asked the girl who took our order if it would be pressed. When I picked it up I asked why it wasn't pressed. I was told they don't do that anymore bec they got a new oven. I told the gentleman that obviously his staff was not aware. I asked why they didn't change the menu, to that I received no reply. I would have never ordered it if I knew it was not going to be the panini. The staff did not offer me something different, just sorry. Shane on their management for not making this right. The sandwich was horrible. The meat was so tough and the bread to toasted. Very disappointed read more

This used to be one of favorite places to eat, but the quality of this place continues to deteriorate. My pic 2 combo consisted of a thumb sized portion of chicken salad with extraordinarily chewy bread. I will soon be returning to my other choices if this place doesn't improve. read more

While the customer service was good, the food was pretty bad. I ordered the steak and cheese Panini and it was like where's the beef? My wife ordered broccoli and cheese bread bowl and there was no broccoli in it. The last time I ate at a Panera was in Greensboro and it was really good not sure what happened at this one. With all the wonderful restaurants in Myrtle Beach they definitely need to up their game. I can't imagine going back. read more

Close to the house. Easy to drive through on the way home. Chowder was good. Sandwiches great. French onion soup without cheese is a fail. Three out of four. Not horrible. Not perfect. read more

Went thru drive in and ordered autumn squash soup. Specifically stated that I wanted the seeds that usually come on the soup and butter with the bread. The bread and seeds were left out before so that's why reiterated that I wanted both. Got home no seeds in the soup as I asked for (shouldn't have to ask for). They did include the bread and butter. Look at your order before you drive off from this Panera. read more

It's good but just too expensive. The pick 2 appeared to be 6.29 but the other half was 4.29. Total bill for one sandwich, 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad free birthday drink, coffee and cookie was $25. Much more than I want to spend at this type of place. $25 means sit down and be served. read more

Over priced and not good. 1/2 sandwich and Mac n Cheese cost me $12. Pick 2 was very confusing. I thought I was getting 2 at the menu price under the pick 2 option. $6 for 1/2 of a sandwich was ridiculous. We went because we received a gift card and thought we'd give it a shot. We will not go back. read more

Was excited to hear Panera was coming to our area but have not been pleased since they opened. Too expensive for what you get, had chicken salad sandwich th had about tablespoon of salad on it. My last visit was at drive up. I got a Greek Salad which had some wilted romaine lettuce, a few olives, a couple chunks of tomato & sprinkling of Feta, also the baguette that came with it was not fresh. This is my last visit. read more

I love panera bread but this experience was just awful. First off, all of the booths were dirty with dishes and crumbs while 2 employees were just sitting down at another table on their phones. Second, the cashier did not give us a pager and told us that they would call our names when our food was ready. This never happened. After waiting 15 minutes I went up to them and just saw our food sitting there. After not being told my food was ready and it just sitting there, our meal was rushed because we went there before we had to work. When we asked for boxes for our salads, all they gave us was a tiny mac and cheese container and all of my salad couldn't fit in it to take home. Love the food but don't know if I will be back. read more

We had the worse experience ever at the Myrtle Beach location. Clueless employee, LONG wait for simple order (40 minutes to order and receive food), pick two was a joke, "half sandwich" on wrap had equivalent of two bites of meat and the wrap was inedible, mac and cheese was cold, tables were dirty . . . AND we paid $50 for two adult pick twos, two kids meals, and three drinks. The main reason we went to Panera was to use a $10 gift card and were told there was zero balance on the card (hadn't been in a Panera since receiving the gift card). There are sooooo many great choices to at out in Myrtle Beach -- Panera will never get our business again. read more

This location is usually hit or miss ...when they get the order right and make sure it's hot and fresh it's good ...but several times I had issues here.. once I was given lukewarm old soup that was not even totally filled to top..I had to return it...a few other times ingredients were missing from my sandwhiches... and other few times my sandwhiches were cold... Panera itself is a great brand.. but this location messes up orders a lot it seems... and some of their staff at the drive thru sometimes rush you and don't want to answer any questions and can be rude ... if they got their act together here and did what they are supposed to it would be great.. I did come here a few times and the food was great but all the bad times made me not come here as often as I would like to... read more

Sometimes I like to humor myself by imagining explaining our current world to my grandfather, who passed in 1998. Mostly this involves me coming up with ways to explain cell phones, social media, reality television, and the fact that our current president is Donald Trump. But today I imagined telling him about my lunch at Panera Bread Co.: Me: "I paid sixteen dollarstoday for half a salad, half a sandwich, and an acai berry tea." Him: "You did what?" Me: "Well, it was $15.81. To be fair." Him: "Were you in New York City?" Me: "No. Myrtle Beach actually." Him: "Did the sandwich contain a cut of rare beef, such as tenderloin?" Me: "Just turkey, bacon, and avocado." Him: "Avoca-who?" Me: "No. A-vo-ca-do. You know the little green things?" Him: "That they eat in Hispaniola?" Me: (sigh) Him: "You mean to tell me, boy, that I flew a B-52 over Germany and bombed Nazis so that you could get fat and stupid and pay sixteen damn dollars for not two, not one, but half a sandwich and salad? And what the hell is icey berry tea?" Me: "Acai." Him: "Huh? Speak up." Me: "Nevermind." Him: "Get your head in straight. Sixteen dollars could feed you for an entire week." Me: (sigh) Yes sir. read more

Who doesn't love a good sandwich? Panera is a great place to grab a good quick sandwich. We love the fresh bread, the speedy delivery, and the you-pick-2 option they have on the menu. I love going and getting the half sandwich and the half mac and cheese off of the you-pick-2 option! Definitely hits the spot. This location is convenient off of bypass 17 at the corner of 544! read more

Went through the drive thru and order two turkey sandwiches one had only once piece of avocado and was a huge mess we had to assemble the sand which ourselves. The other other have one small thin slice of turkey on it a few pieces of lettuce and an onion that was it... we were very disappointed read more

This is the second Panera I've visited. The first one was a sub-par experience so I figured I would give them a second chance and try another one. Bad call. Food was not fresh, service was less than desirable, and they got my ONE order wrong. I was with a friend who was also new to the franchise and he ordered something completely different and was also highly unsatisfied. Gritty clam chowder and brown avocados? What they're charging for the portions and quality is a complete joke. The only positive part of the experience was the fact that I had a gift card and didn't have to pay out of pocket for this garbage. Not a good start for a new location. read more

Love their Carmel Latte. It's very nice, clean and relax environment. I love their food. Yes Panera bread is usually more on the expensive side. But it's delicious. read more

I haven't been to the restaurant simply because I cannot patronage a company that does not respond to emails. When this restaurant first opened I was nearly T-boned by an employee in a mad rush to get to work. I see the black Jeep there every morning. Maybe it's a manager. read more

No one in the drive-thru ever asks for your number!! To speed up the process, I take it home and put it in online. When I went to put my receipt in online it only will allow one per week! I guess I will not purchase from Panera Bread more than once. Oh well, $5.+ for a cup of black bean soup makes it hard to swallow anyway! read more

Snippy cashier with an attitude. Ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup and to go. Got home and I received a cup of broth (I measured, 8 ounces exact), three carrot slices and scant noodles and my bill was $7.35. NEVER again. read more

very slow. Messed up order. Came for breakfast and you can tell everyone was pretty much new. They didn't have the bread that came with the breakfast sandwich so I picked a new bread and then after 20 minutes they gave me the wrong sandwich. read more
