I just placed an order that included two sausage, egg and cheese bagels. Instead, I received steak and egg. Not a horrible thing, given the state of the world, but having to tip in advance to then receive an incorrect order sucks. Mistakes happen, but it looks like this location has had plenty of them. Caveat emptor. read more

Nice, clean, and courteous. Plus, I used the new mobile app for the first time with this store and it worked great. It's down the road from Nashville International Airport, and around a lot of hotels. Oh Yeah, the baked goods are dangerous. read more

This Panera brings great value to travelers using Nashville Airport. It's a mere three minute drive to the terminal and the only non-fast food, or greasy chain in the area where folks can grab something quick to bring with them on the plane rather than paying for poor-quality and overpriced items available in the terminal. While it might seem far fetched to some to come here with good service and better value it's a 10-minute side trip that's attractive to others. As with all Panera's it's clean, prices are fair and there's free wifi, too. It's a great place to come kill a bit of time before a flight if you have it. Also, consider there's no risk of traffic between this location and the airport. No time on the interstate is required. Consider this next time you're coming to the airport and need a quick bite or a sandwich to bring along for the air time. read more

This is my second attempt to get a quality latte. I even had them add a extra shot of espresso in each large latte. So now we are having a good soufflé & steamed milk ! read more

So disappointed in this Panera, being the Panera lover I'am this has been the worst place I have ever received service. I ordered a chicken chipotle avocado melt and it seemed like they put no effort into making it. I received a chunk of avocado in my sandwich which should usually be sliced and the chipotle sauce was just on the corner of the sandwich. Just a darn waste! Staff was in a hurry and just wanted everyone out! read more

Customer service could had been better. I'm new to how inside pick up works. I stood in an empty lobby while an employee stared at me for a good 5-10 mins before she asked me if I needed assistance. My food was ready and waiting but I didn't know I was just supposed to go get it. read more

I've certainly been to better Paneras. This one was a bit disappointing, mostly due to the customer service. They weren't very friendly and the food just didn't seem consistent to other Panera Breads I've been to. read more

Food quality is perfect,all ingredients are fresh. And bread just jummy! Just service is slow,maybe because of drive-thru, but summing up- almost 10points! read more

I recently discovered this location with a DRIVE THRU! I'm able to get a salad or soup fast without even getting out of my car.

Suffers from many of the same ailments that all Panera locations suffer from. Out of stock on product, etc., not real clean, etc. but the service and food was good. Our cashier was named Shan and she handled a less than optimal situation very well. Great customer service. read more

horrible service & hard to listen employees. i ordered a Caesar salad & they literally gave me a salad with no crotons or cheese, just dressing.... then as soon as i got my Mac & cheese it say cold! like they didn't even warm it up at all. read more

I cane here while traveling to do some work and have breakfast. First, there are not enough outlets available. Secondly ordered an egg and cheese sandwich- my receipt was correct but they put bacon on it which I didn't realize until after I took my first bite. Wouldn't have been a big deal except I've been vegetarian for 9 years. Thanks a lot Panera. read more

This Panera Bread location is awesome. It is my 2nd time here and this place does not disappoint. The first time was right at closing and they were just as courteous and accommodating as you would expect early in the day. Our 2nd time here tonight we accidentally put the order in for wrong location. They graciously accepted our order and quickly filled even though they did not need to. Both times the order was fresh, hot and wonderful. I highly recommend this Panera Bread to anyone staying near or just passing through. read more

Needs some attention in the dining room. Good salad but skimpy on the bread. No sweet tea . I noticed a booth with children almost be for at least 30 minutes. One was a sleep. Finally an employee came out to them. She must have brought to work with her. I was concerned because they were small & alone. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've noticed their weekday shift is always accurate, the food is delicious & delivery is on time. However, now that I work at night and go in the evenings I've noticed a huge difference. I've stopped ordering because I had an order estimated to be here (--~5 min away) in 30 minutes...I kid you not it was over an hour before it was here. My email notifications had said it was on its way, then delivered, then it just went back to being on its way for 45 minutes. No explanation or apology from the driver. When I can get away to go pick up food I've noticed the sandwiches aren't built as well as when I ordered during lunch...they'll be half fallen apart, ingredients missing, barely any dressing. My coworkers have had missing items or wrong ingredients on their orders. Last night I got the wrong soup and half of my whole chicken salad sandwich didn't have any chicken salad on it. I think this is the universe's way of telling me I need to stop spending money getting lunch out! read more

What's up with quality here? Really bad. I got a small mac n cheese and it was cold! Salad box was half full - seriously like 1/2 cup of salad and 2 tiny wedges of tomato (Greek). Not up to quality of other Panera s. Maybe they are a victim of own success. They are swamped at lunch - which could explain the poor quality. Maybe check out sub depot or pie 5 - more Lunch restaurants are opening in the area. Time to try them. read more

So I just left this location and the food deserved 5/10 stars. The customer service was the most wild thing my boyfriend and I have ever experienced. He got a bowl of French onion soup and the spoon that he was given was crusted with dried food and questionable other things, no big deal, he went and asked for another one and was told by the guy in the kitchen that it was ACTUALLY clean but just stained and that most of their silverware looked like that. Then after he was given a plastic spoon to eat his soup, the cashier plugged in the vacuum and started vacuuming the area that we and the only other guest in the restaurant were sitting at. She then asked the single man who was working on his laptop if he could get up so she could vacuum under his chair!!! My boyfriend and I lost it, considering we have both worked in the food industry and customer service for years. Someone retrain and teach these pitiful people about customer service! read more

Ordered a 1/2 Chicken Caesar Salad with a drink and it cost $9.70. The food was good but definitely NOT worth the cost. read more

Panera Bread - This 1/2 chicken caesar salad and a drink for $9.70.... it tastes fine but definitely not worth the cost. - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The Donelson Panera Bread by Thomas Nelson Publishers is a good breakfast stop for me on the way to catch a morning flight at BNA. It is one of the newer Paneras in Nashville and has a better layout and bountiful plugs for smartphone charging before departure. The counter staff was even sharper at checkout than some other Paneras I have enjoyed and the line moved quickly. Before a power meeting I like the veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich of spinach, avocado, tomato and egg white on a sprouted-grain bagel. read more

Yeah, I normally love me a Panera Bread, but I'm kinda done with this location until I hear that it has turned around. It's not just one thing; it was everything. My god, the place is only about a year old and it's already disgusting. It seriously smells like wet dog near the beverages. I thought it was a smelly customer, but nooo, it's all the way into the ladies room. My sweet tea tasted old, or like the brewer or container hasn't been cleaned. I took the first bite of my steak sandwich and was all "where's the beef?" I opened it up and saw two small lumps of steak that didn't even cover the bread. I don't know if they're franchised or have awful management or what, but it's just horrible. To top it off the employee who took my order claims that they "don't have French onion soup anymore." That's the only thing I ever wanted there in the first place, so.... read more

I'm reposting my review from Google +! Hopefully the folks at Panera will read it!! "If I could give this location a BIG FAT NEGATIVE STAR, zero, etc., I would!! I have been to this location 3 times since it's opened and have yet to be able to order any food. First of all, the drive-thru is created in such a way that once you pull in, you cannot leave the line. You will have to back out if no one is behind you. Why is that important? Well, because two out of my three visits I've stopped at this Panera to order a PLAIN BAGEL at approximately 8:15 am (breakfast time); either they did not have any bagels at all (Bread Company...yeah right) or did not have plain ones. The first time this happened, I was able to back out of the drive-thru without having to wait in line behind the other cars. Well, today, I had to wait over 15 minutes in line behind other cars without even having placed an order because I was stuck. (eg. 2 visits, no food). On another visit to this location (during lunch time), I was in line for 10 minutes and was still 3 cars back before I would have reached the order speaker. Fortunately, the car behind me backed out so I was able to back out as well. No one has 20-30 minutes to wait in line for a simple soup or sandwich on their lunch break! This location already needs a new staff and a remodel!!!" read more

My husband and I love Panera, and we were super excited when this one opened up! A drive thru? YES! However the love has worn off because they never have anything! They are always out of either the soup we want or the baguettes, or the bread for one of our sandwiches. It's even worse because if you change your mind and decide not to order (because they have nothing) you can't get out of the drive thru! You are blocked in! So Panera would get 5 stars but this one not so much. read more

So, apparently if you order a salad at the drive thru you should ASK for forks and napkins. Tried to use 2 potato chips as utensils, that was a no go. Don't ask questions about the menu, You'll get the eye roll. Besides all that the food was very good. read more

Very disorganized. My boss called in an order for 5 people at 10:30AM, to be picked up at noon. I went with her to assist carrying the order back to the office. A list of things that went wrong after that: 1 When we arrived at noon, the order was not ready. We were told, however, that it was almost ready and just needed to be bagged. She paid and we waited near the entrance. 2 15 minutes later, with others waiting for lunch at the office, no word on our order. 3 She tried to go back to the register to check on the order, while I went to check to see if our order was in the carry out window. Nothing. Furthermore, the boss was stuck another 5-10 minutes behind a customer demanding a refund. 4 When she finally got to the counter, we found out our order was ready, but no one had bothered to tell the counter that it was ready to go. 5 The order was brought out, looking like food for 5 people was smashed into a bag made for 2 orders. 6 The clerk offered 5 cinnamon rolls for our inconvenience. Fine. However, the rolls ended up being crammed into the bottom of a larger bag with our original order crammed on top. 7 the clerk then darted to the back to get us utensils, which for some bizarre reason took another 5 minutes. He also put in utensils for 25 people into the already full bag. 8 When we finally arrived back at the office, we were treated to one wrong order, room temperature soup and a panini that looked like it had been stepped on. Yes, it was crowded at lunch there, but that's no excuse for horrendous service and terrible communication, especially for an order that had been called in an hour and a half early. This Panera location really needs to step up its game. read more

Worst Panera I have ever been to. My drive through orders are continually incorrect, and my food is ALWAYS old, and clearly has been sitting out for awhile. Not worth a cent. read more

Never clean. The inside atmosphere is terrible for anyone wanting to relax or work peacefully over coffee. They care more about their drive thru business than their inside customers. read more

Horrible, kiosks didn't work, no dedicated server to help dine in guests or non-group patrons. I will not be back

This location is not that old contrary to previous post., built in the last five years. On to the review. The parking lot is a nightmare at lunchtime, many times you cannot find a parking space. The customer service here is terrible. Every time I go here something is wrong with my order. The staff overall is friendly but they have an attitude. And for some reason Panera has decided they are better than other restaurants and they do not have to answer the phone, it goes to a call center. You would think when the don't have to deal with phone calls they would have time to get your order right. Not every problem can be solved by a remote call center representative. It just seems like no one at this location knows the first thing about GOOD customer service nor do they care. And for some reason they have a grandiose attitude about themselves when they cannot get a single order right! read more

I went through the drive thru on a cold rainy Friday night and was greeted by a very kind young man named Fred who was both friendly and helpful. I asked for a small green tea which he said he had ran out of small cups so he would give me a large for the price of a small and with very little wait gave me my order with every item I ordered to my specifications and I left with a big enough smile from the whole encounter I had to write this review. The world needs more Freds and Fred is what makes my local Donelson Panera one of my favorite spots to frequent. read more

The girl who greeted me--much to her chagrin--seemed impatient and slightly put out that i did not immediately place my order with her. There were no people waiting behind me. When i asked her a question about the general size of a half-order, she said "do i need to bring you the bowl or something?" No, a simple hand gesture would have done. I would recommend only allowing people with actual customer service skills be put as the face of your business. This place got the second star because the guy who took the pager when the meal was ready was nice and upbeat.... read more

Loved loved loved. Very patient because I had no clue what to order. My meal was amazing, will definitely return

I can't say enough good things about this location! I called in a large order for delivery on the morning that I needed the lunch. Everyone was so accommodating from order taker, to assembly staff to delivery driver - they could not have been nicer. Also the order for 18 people was PERFECT, arrived at my designated time exactly and all my attendees were happy. Thanks Panera! read more

Probably the best Panera set up I have ever been in. There are 5 tablets you can order from and sign in to your Panera card. They still have humans for you to interact with if you crave social contact. Lots of tables and dividing walls to maintain a small coffee house feel. read more

Went here with a large group and had a group order and too many orders were wrong. That wasn't the main problem. When asking the man who was running the kitchen for bread and chips that were not given with our meal, he had an attitude and mumbled something under his breath. Would have had a much better experience if the customer service was much better. Love panera, but not this one. read more

I visited this location on February 28th 2019 around 7 am for coffee and yogurt. The workers in the drive thru were extremely unprofessional in their behavior. They were very loud obnoxious and rude. I witness the worker take a very long time with my debit card and appear very nervous as he handed it and my coffee back to me. I called the store within minutes after my leaving the drive thru to report my discomfort with the experience and to express my suspicion of a violation but no one answered. My debit card information was collected and saved by the employee at this location. Charges of a total were made onlind to OfferUp $227, hexin tech 54.65, Hibbett sports 196.65, kids footlocker 128.89, Antioch, Tn Wingstop 14.63, online retailer North first street for the amounts of 98.01, 35.42, and 217.86. I am seeking legal assistance regarding this matter but I wanted to share for others who visit this location. read more

Food is always great. This is one of my regular weekly lunch spots. Drive thru depends on the day as to quickness it usually goes fast. Today super quick! Got the half sandwich and cup of soup. Delicious the turkey avacodo BLT , chicken and rice soup and a sweet tea I'm set. :) read more

Took a long time and the person at the drive through wasn't very nice. Also I don't go to Panera in general very often bc when I hear the total for my order and get ready to actually pay, I kick myself bc the price is far too high for what you get. "How did I end up here and why am I paying $12 for a half of a salad, half a sandwich and some tea?!" read more

I ordered many times from Panera Bread for professional trainings, community events, and personally. I have been satisfied each time. Today was another story. I went through the drive-through line on Royal Parkway to place 3 orders. I was refused service, being told they only take two orders per car in the drive-through lane. I explained there are no signs posted regarding this policy and I am now stuck in line. The employee taking orders explained she is only an employee and cannot take my order. I waited until everyone in front of me received their order. Then I parked my car and physically went into the store and placed 3 sandwich orders. When I asked the Assistant Manager about this 2-order per car policy, she told me this is Panera's corporate policy and gave me the number to call Panera if I had a problem, her name, her manager's name, and the Panera store number. If they are so overwhelmed that they cannot process three sandwiches without the customer physically going into the store, they need to post a sign reflecting this 2-order per car policy or they can simply shut down the drive-through line and only process walk-in customers. , read more

This is without a doubt the nastiest Panera's I have ever been in and I have been to many! Was there when the doors opened and apparently the closing crew just locked the doors and went home. The floors hadn't been swept much less mopped! The outside area had food laying everywhere around the seats! There apparently is no management at this location! Will never stop back in this location read more

First of all, the individual working the drive-through was unbelievably rude. I ask him to check my Panera card because I believed I had a reward on there. He looked at me and proceeded to explain that that was a Panera rewards membership card without running it. I had to explain to him again the purpose of me giving him the card prior to knowing my total. Then I get home with my order only to realize they have left out a baguette and put extra sauce on the sandwich that we asked for no sauce on. They also didn't slice up the "freshly roasted turkey", it was one huge chunk, and the cheese wasn't separated, there were two chunks stuck together, and all the toppings were on the wrapper. Definitely not worth the $10 for one meal! read more
