Ordering was perfect and efficient. Look at your name was Barbara. She's always been nice and attentive. The broccoli cheese soup was OK but on the lukewarm side instead of hot. The chicken salad looks OK but the side of avocado that they put in it was so hard that I could not even eat it. And some of the lettuce was kind of brown like or it's been sitting out or it's just old not sure.On the restaurant seating area coming around some of the tables are not clean and there is not that many people in here. The phone has been ringing up the hook and even though there is people back there, nobody picks it up ...Not sure why. I always like the restaurant because location is convenient, but I wish they could be a little bit more conscious and clean the tables. I know it's already 6 o'clock the place is not even that busy they should send somebody out here to wipe the tables. read more

I'm really funny about my panera orders, pretty much everything is customized. I live in Racine and work in Oak Creek. The Oak Creek location always gets my order/customizations correct. The Racine location doesn't. the food is a little overpriced in my opinion for salad and sandwich but it's still better than eating mcdonalds. read more

I had the pick 2 so I went with the Sandwich and Salad, I got the tuna sandwich and a salad. I got soda and it's 4 dollars here and I'm like that's highway robbery. I ordered ahead online. So the service was great, And it was a cold snowy night. Luckily I live 5 minutes away from Peneras so it was like no problem. Anyway it came out to $60 for just three people my Mom and my Brother went too. The food was just okay but it's not worth the price. read more

Purchased food to bring to a night shift. ordered the new Asiago Roma Chicken stack. Asiago bagel was out of stock, chose a second option. requested no tomatoes. Hours later I get to work and the sandwich has ingredients that were not even supposed to be on the sandwich. The onions and banana peppers were stuck in the cheese that had melted making it impossible to remove them. This was a second chance after months ago having a bad breakfast sandwich. I'm over it. I'll find somewhere else. Staff didn't know my order was complete upon arrival and app said it was ready. read more

Fudgy Brownie CinnaTop: Panera recently introduced a slew of new items including three varieties of what they have dubbed "CinnaTops". The Cinnatop flavors include Candy Cookie, Choco Chipper Cookie, and Fudgy Brownie. It was easy narrowing down which I would try as I'm a fudgy (not cakey) brownie fan. The official description is "A deliciously crafted cinnamon roll made with our sweet dough, stuffed with cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with decadent icing, brownie chunks and finished with an icing drizzle". It comes in a cute little windowed box and was relatively hefty. Also of note, it is served as a room temperature dessert. I have not had the most recent iteration of Panera's cinnamon roll, but I would imagine it's similar if not exactly the same as this (just minus the brownie pieces). There is a copious amount of icing both on top of the roll and even inside (see cross-section picture). As good as that sounds, that brings me to my biggest complaint and that is the flavor. The icing is extremely tangy, to the point that I want to describe it as having a lemony flavor (not a plus in my book). Thankfully the chocolate flavor of the brownies helps to distract from this. Mine came topped with eight brownie pieces that were approximately the same size, but that might vary with your experience. Although not as fudgy or tasty as my homemade brownies, they were satisfying enough. There is also a nice amount of cinnamon flavor from the cinnamon-sugar filling (again see cross-section picture) to help diminish that awful lemony icing. If you plan on trying the new CinnaTops, my final word of advice is to warm them up in the microwave as it made enough of a difference in taking this from an avoid, to just okay dessert. I still probably wouldn't eat one again (and it was free with a Panera Rewards coupon) as there's just so many better dessert options today. Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

FOUND A LARGE METAL BOLT IN MY FOOD. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on 7/28/25 and bit down on something hard while I was chewing and found it was metal bolt. After showing the staff what I found they continued to serve the contaminated food. I am appalled and disgusted. I hope nobody else gets hurt. read more

Panera Bread - BOLT FOUND IN CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH - Sandwiches Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Panera Bread has become my go-to spot whenever I need a peaceful place to study. There's complementary wifi. The environment is always welcoming, and the ladies who work here are incredibly kind and friendly, making every visit feel warm and inviting. One thing that stands out is how clean the restaurant always is, which is something I really appreciate, especially when spending extended hours here. As a Sip Club member, I love grabbing a warm cup of coffee as soon as I arrive--it's the perfect start to my study session. And when I need a break, the meals here never disappoint. Whether it's a fresh salad or one of their hearty sandwiches, the food is always delicious, well-prepared, and satisfying. If you're looking for a cozy and clean place with great food and a welcoming atmosphere, this Panera Bread on Howell is it! read more

This Panera is usually pretty good, but this sandwich was seriously lacking. I didn't want the lettuce (gets too soggy on this sandwich) but I definitely wanted the other things. read more

I agree with people who said the food is shockingly inconsistent and the dining room is a mess. We used to come here a fair amount, a once-a-week thing and after ordering say "I wonder what we'll get this time?" I order the exact same sandwich every time (not too many vegetarian sandwiches), but I rarely get what I order. You get the receipt and what you order, EXACTLY what you order, is printed on it. So, hmmm.... I had to stop getting any dressing because my sandwich would come swimming in dressing. I always order basil and one time recently - I actually tasted some basil! They're usually out of something too, half-n-half, ice coffee, hot coffee, and the dining room is usually a mess. Dishes stacked up and teetering.The system lets you order things they don't have like a certain cookie, and they substitute a crappy stale leftover something or other-sometimes without telling you - so yeah, check your order before you leave. I had enough disappointment at one point (only asked for a refund once), and went to other Paneras (much cleaner). But this one is close and I have the sip club. Too bad they had to take away the YUMMY caffeine drinks because they were killing people (oh, allegedly killing people), but I really liked them. I wasn't going to reup on the sip club because of that and a lessened desire to come here at all, but without notifying me they autorenewed my sip membership. read more

Clean, my food was tasty, and the staff was very nice to me. Bathrooms are also clean. Traveling and was a little nervous about the two star review, but it ended up being good. read more

It's Panera. Everything is fresh, and staff is pretty friendly. They will find your table and bring out your order if you're eating in, but you have to clear out your table. You can grab self serve water with lemon. You can also order through the computer directly, and cups for your beverage purchases are all there for you to just take - honor system. Don't abuse it! For a chain bakery that I've been going to since... well for quite a long time, I'm still not sure that I believe the more recent price hike justified. But it's ok. I still go on a whim. read more

Once again (when will I learn my lesson). Drove all the way to Oak Creek to order a pick two (tuna and chicken noodle) plus beverage. Paid close to $10. I know, should have checked bag. Got home one cup of cheese broccoli soup (I hate just the smell of it). For $10 had a piece of bread for my dinner. Called to talk to manager, who told me I would have a gift card sent to me in "a couple of days. That was TWO weeks ago. I have to drive too far from Milwaukee to the Oak Creek location. I do not understand why they lie to you. Just say "we do not care and are not going to make it right." At least be honest. The one piece of bread was good. However, not $10 good. Thanks for telling me you were sending a gift card and lying. , read more

Panera Bread - Healthy salad! Making my daily life healthier. Great salad good atmosphere... - Sandwiches Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

This Panera location is decent. I do enjoy Panera on occasion, although their prices keep going up without supplying any additional quality or quantity. The service at this spot can be downright awful at times however. Wrong orders, no orders, orders given to the wrong person/name... Bad attitudes when you bring up the fact that an order is wrong, or a special request. If you do luck out and get good service, it's a good spot for the Panera chain. However, you've been warned. read more

Soups rotate daily. If you have a favorite, phone first! Mine are the black bean and the veggie pesto. I like the "unwich" from Jimmy John's next door but they have no soup! So if there's a Panera close by I can get my combo :) read more

The food is okay suburban chain restaurant fare, but the service at this particular Panera is excellent. Always quick, friendly, competent, I like this place. It's also a place you can get some work done, the coffee is good. My favorites here are the soups in bread bowls and the pastries to go with coffee. read more

Panera Bread - It's actually a pretty good place to get work done. - Sandwiches Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

I HATE their delivery service! I ordered soup and a bread bowl, but did not receive my bread, so I called them around 5 times and each time they hung up on me. Biggest waste of my money, and I normally love and look forward to Panera. Sadly, this has happened before, but at least in the past I didn't keep getting hung up on. Wouldn't call it quality service! read more

My complaint lies only with their policy on paying with cash. I use my plastic very selectively and have been inconvenienced on multiple times (ok, so I forget), finding they don't even take a phone order for cash pickup. I miss their delicious food but my comfort and convenience take precedence so I go elsewhere with my U.S. cash money$$$$! This negates the benefits of my rewards card as well. Boooo, Panera Bread! You're apparently too big to value little old me. read more

Not my favorite Panera location. They could clean the tables more quickly, and food is inconsistent. I recently ordered the Roasted Turkey & Caramelized Kale Panini, and the middle of the sandwich was cold, and the edges were piping hot. Definitely a microwaved disaster, in what sounded like an amazing sandwich. read more

I was happy to go cause they're open. But you need to step up your game! It's dirty inside take a moment to clean off what tables you can use. Aside from that, the girl at the counter didn't have a clue! When there is a big sign saying how much something is and you quadruple ring it up something to be said at the training process! Then to get just okay food sadly disappointed. Won't be returning to this location!!!! I recommend any other location! read more

Took really long to make and get delivered. They didn't really tell me why it took so long. Not very good communication skills.

Not even going to bother anymore. Waited 1/2 hour for a latte; 8AM and they have no chips, nothing but everything bagels, and no scones. This will be out of business soon. read more

I love the 4-cheese souffle and a cup of coffee in the morning. The soups are always reliable and the ingredients in the sandwiches and salads are fresh. The bakery selection is really good, some of it sinful. There is outdoor seating that is great in the summertime and they always provide friendly service. Even the young girls behind the counter are courteous, not my usual experience. There aren't many chains that I would patronize, but this in definitely one of them. read more

Apparently good customer service is no longer important at my OAK CREEK location. Called for a loaf of bread to be set aside. Alan the manager wanted my credit card. I told him I had never been asked for this before. I've been calling ahead many times without a problem. The Manager at the Greenfield location had no problem putting a loaf of bread aside for me. And told me he didn't understand why Alan would ask for a credit card. This is the location I ended up at for my bread & coffee cake. I want to give David Turner a thumbs up for outstanding customer service. He was pleasant & extremely professional! He made a bad experience a little better. However I would like to see this level of customer care & service come back to my location. Why should I have to travel across town to get treated with some consideration. read more

Got the bacon egg and cheese on brioche. Some of the sandwich was hot, some was cold. Overall a pretty disappointing experience.

This is the second time my order was not complete from this location. The first time I did not receive my french baguette side, and now I didn't receive some ingredients in my salad, nor the croutons that come with the soup. I know these are minor mistakes, but when you pay for something, you want to get what you paid for! Also, both times the receipt was signed and "checked" by someone indicating everything was in there, and it clearly wasn't. read more

Elise was very kid person ... she treat my wife & me very good , professional customer care .. Thank you read more

I just left this Panera Bread and I am not happy with the service I received today. I ordered two scones but once I got home I realized that there was only one in the bag and when I received my sandwich I asked the girl if she could throw in a couple baguettes, the girl behind the counter said you'll have to go up front to pay for them. I've never had to pay for extra baguettes before. It was nice that they could take care of a long-time customer. In the line of work that I do I sent people to this location all the time for lunch or dinner. I've had problems at this location before and after today I do not think I will be returning, I would rather drive miles out of my way to go to a restaurant that will take care of their long-time customers. read more

This is one of the good locations from this chain. They are very diligent and prompt. I never have to wait in line too long. If someone sees I or another person waiting, they jump on the register to help. I had the bacon egg and cheese on brioche yesterday and it was MUCH better than the one I've gotten from the New Berlin location. Everyone here seems to be friendly and enjoy working here. I never see, any mess around long. They make sure the tables are clean and ready to go. read more

I just visited this location after they changed their menu. The new Italian sandwich was terrible compared to the old one. They were also out of the new bread for the sandwich and had to substitute a different bread. The taste of the sandwich was horrible. Also, sodas at the fountain were out, no straws available and 5 out of 6 self order kiosks were not working. I used to come here a lot for the food but with the new menu I will go elsewhere. When I sent a complaint to Panera their answer to the above issues were "change is hard", and try something different next time. They ignored all the other problems. I will never return to any Panera that has this new menu. read more

My husband and I eat here several times a week for lunch. Everything is good and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend the BBQ chicken salad, napa almond chicken salad, bacon turkey bravo and the cheesy broc. soup read more

Panera is comfort food, and the Oak Creek location, while busy, is clean and efficient. They have a good rewards program, and you get perks quickly without having to spend a ton of money. My favorites include the Steak and White Cheddar Panini, the Summer Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, and of course, Broccoli Cheddar soup in a bread bowl. I also really enjoy their fresh lemonade and iced green tea. read more

This is a decent chain, with good sandwiches, soups, salads and coffee. They also have a bakery section with some really nice breads and other baked goods. they are wheelchair accessible and the staff is very helpful. My favorite is the portobella sandwich with a cup of tomato soup. read more

This location is just meh. It's a big spot and there always seems to be dishes strewn about. On top of this they've screwed up my order on a number of occasions. The parking lot is just the worst, and they always seem to be caught off guard by the lunch rush. The food is fine, but the service is lacking. You'll be just fine coming here, but there are better options. read more
