    OMG, this is the worst panera location in the history of mankind. Honestly, I'm not huge fan in general, but I do really enjoy their Mac n cheese, even their store bought Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese here tastes like the macaroni had been swimming in the swimming pool and is so soggy, it's def over cooked and the cheese tasted like water as well. What a disappointment. The tuna sandwich was good, the pickle on the side was small though. In general, I've always said, over priced, when you got places like Jersey Mikes or deli's that are the same price and their quality and dice is better. We do enjoy the bagels here though, and the brownies.

    Bacon, cheese, egg croissant with a drink.

    Panera has some really good food. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it IMO. I love the breakfast croissants. The croissant is so delicate with a hint of sweetness. I add garlic aoili to step the game up. I also love the Italian sandwich as well. This Panera is close by for me and typically isn't overcrowded. The free WiFi is a bonus. It's fast and reliable.

    WHY does the avocado in my Greek Goddess salad look like this.... Salad straight to the trash. Thanks Panera in Newport News.

    Literally found a health hazard in my Green Goddess salad and couldn't eat it. A waste of money and left with only half a sandwich for dinner.

    HAIR IN SALAD.

    Horrible. A huge piece of curly black HAIR in my food. I've been going there for years and recently the salad portions have been inconsistent and there was a HAIR in my salad and I will never be returning THIS location.

    Broccoli cheese soup with baguette-yummy
    Caroline J.

    Sometimes you just want familiar and something you know will be good and for me that is the Panera broccoli cheddar soup and baguette. Luckily this spot came through and my choices were yummy as I remember from other Panera's. Everyone I encountered from the lady who took my order to the gentleman who delivered my food as well as when I had to ask for a to-go cup for my soup were super friendly. The inside has a range of seating from booths to tables (of varying sizes) They are a great spot to grab a bite to eat. And have free wi-fi for those wanting to do some work.

    First time at Panera Bread for breakfast (Warwick Ave., Newport News, VA) .. and most likely the last. What I ORDERED VS what I GOT: This is their Ciabatta BACON, EGG and CHEESE sandwich...?? (Don't mind the ketchup, it's a NJ thing) What a JOKE! Now the soufflé was tasty, but not worth another visit to Panera Bread

    The reason I can't 100% reccomend yes or no is because they are a total hit or miss! I order bagels regularly for my breakfasts. I cut, freeze, and toast when ready to eat. Sometimes the bagels are perfect, sometimes are are severely undercooked or overcooked. The bagels available around the area leave me with little other options than to stick it out with panera. I will say though, when I tell panera of my troubles they make it right. However I have to drive all the way to the restaurant to make it right, even though my order was a delivery.

    New avocado toast
    Kathy K.

    Disappointing day here. Their new avocado toast small amounts of chopped avocado, not representative of the picture, which looks like an amp supply of smashed avocado spread on toast. Miserable chopped avocado pieces and mayonnaise on top. - huge mistake. Yuck! This dish was a total bomb . At least the cinnamon bun with the brownie on top was a home run for my niece. At least they were quick to add more avocado when I complained..

    Toasted frontega chicken sandwich
    Monica G.

    Yum! Recent go to lately! My kid loves the Mac and cheese and their bagels. Unfortunately, the bagels can be a hit or miss, meaning sometimes it can be just too hard and much harder for my kid to eat. However nonetheless they are still tasty. The Mac and cheese and their kettle chips are a staple for me! Toasted chicken frontega is delicious! I wish I could get chipotle Mayo on the side in addition to my sandwich because it is so tasty. Service is great and whenever I do a pickup the time it says it will be ready is always exact!

    Chicken Cesar salad

    We have had great experiences here! I absolutely love the curbside option. It has always been super quick and accurate. The food is always hot.

    Bacon Egg and Cheese on Ciabatta Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich..
    Necole L.

    I am really shocked at the quality of food. I went ordered at Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich and when I got to my car they gave me a sausage egg. I took it back inside and when it was made I barely had bread or cheese, the egg tasted liked imitation egg and there was 1 piece of bacon. For almost $7.00, it was a waste of money.

The little private nooks are wonderful. And we could not have had better service. I went with two friends and we were all delighted. Our server was Marjan (I have no idea if I am spelling her name right). She was so sweet! We had many questions and she was very patient with us. The food was AMAZING!!! None of us had ever had Yemeni food before so we were googling the names of all the dishes. We ordered three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts. We all tried one another's dishes and not a single bite was bad. I would be hard-pressed to choose my favorite dish. Oh wait! I can choose a favorite - the mint lemonade! Oh my goodness, what a terrific, refreshing drink!!! The savory flavors of the foods, the textures, and presentation of everything were perfect. And everything came out quickly. We were all so full and happy! We lingered over our meal and we were not rushed at all. There were only a couple other full tables of customers so they didn't hurry our dining experience. We can't wait to go back and we vowed to tell everyone we know to come and experience Shibam.

We decided to hop over here to catch specials for St. Patrick's Day and they also had karaoke going on. Would this first visir hold potential for yours truly? Our group was able to snag a table right across the bar with no issues. For the whole night, foot traffic wasn't heavy. For the pub itself, it is a bit dated, but nothing where major updates are needed. They also have a separate section for billards and you can also smoke while enjoying company. All of us did order food while some sang karaoke (I didn't participate). For myself, I selected a fried petals basket which came with their house sauce. It was good enough for me since I ate earlier. The food was very good. Each fried onion was very crispy and their house sauce was a great compliment. I also decided to have one of their house drinks. The fruit bomb which consisted of Three Olives Loopy vodka and Red Bull. The drink was very good. Not too strong and just right. And for you diabetics out there like myself, the vodka is sugar free. The Red Bull does add sweetness to the drink, but your carb intake will be just fine. For a first timer, it was a good experience. A nice staff with some good food and spirts on hand. I'll definitely make a return here soon :)
