Decent enough Panera Bread close to the hotel that I was staying at. The service was friendly and it had the comfortable ambiance we expect from a Panera Bread. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this particular Panera Bread read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

I've never been a fan of Panera, and my most recent visit confirmed why. The food always feels underwhelming, and this time was no different. I ordered the grilled cheese, and it was bland and lukewarm, it was actually so bad i asked them to reheat it and they directed me to a microwave... For a place that markets itself as fresh and flavorful, it just doesn't deliver. The service was also slow, and I had to wait longer than expected for my order. While Panera might work for some, it's just not for me. I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon. also i find it always smells weird. read more

Today is the 4th time in the past month I have had to abandon the drive through due to inordinate delays. Tired of their excuses. How can you expect to charge premium pices for substandard service? read more

I like their winter soup. On a cold day a cup of their butternut squash soup really hits the comfort zone. Their desserts look delicious but I have not tried them. It's clean too! read more

Absolutely horrible service. Guy behind food counter was so rude. Our food took 45 minutes and it came out thrown together. We paid $50 for everything and we got HALF a frozen sandwich. Did not look appetizing at all. Mcdonald's breakfast looks better than what we got. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Something is seriously wrong with the general manager here. Every time I come in and she's there i see her stressing out her employees or being really snarky and snappy to customers. I feel bad for the people that work there because they look traumatized. She always acts hyper annoyed and condescending to everybody all the time. I've only personally interacted with her twice but both times were very unpleasant. I'm not sure if I've ever seen someone in the food service industry who is constantly being miserable like this. I stayed away from this Panera for a year. I hoped it would be better by now. Unfortunately, I will not be going back to this location until her name is gone from the door. Fellow Panera patrons, heed my warning, if you walk in and a lady name Krysti with reddish hair is there, turn around a leave unless you are prepared to share her bad mood. read more

Went in excited cause paneras absolutely goated, saw some fresh delicous cinnamon rolls and knew I had to get one. Got my to go order, went home, dug in and bang no cinnamon roll. Absolutely outrageous they could do that to me. Will definitely be getting my lick back next time I go. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Pa has gone down hill in record speed. Used to be my favorite place to eat but we don't have a Panera so I would eat there when traveling. First complaint- the shrinkflation is getting out of hand. $9. Plus for a tiny cup of soup and very small bread bowl. Soup had almost no noodles and chicken. Also, nobody at the counter. Kiosk to order. As if I want to go through your whole menu. And don't give me the "it's for my convenience ". Having someone greet me at the counter and take my order is convenient. Finally, ordered for dine in. Got it wrapped up for take out. Thought was a mistake but after watching a while I believe it is so they don't have to use and wash any dishes. I'm done with Panera. They lost their mojo. read more

See all

I got charged for 2 items that I didn't get from an online order. The first time this happened months ago the manager at that time refunded with no problem. This time the bad dyed red hair manager with glasses mentioned in other reviews her told me she couldn't do it. Made a crazy story saying their system can't find the order information. I'll file a charge back and contact the owner. read more

Panera Bread - Receipt - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Made us wait an hour for our food. Staff really incompetent and had a very difficult time interacting to take my order.

I ordered a Southwest Salad with Chicken and added bacon. I got lettuce, a lot of bacon, feta, and a boiled egg. There was no chicken, no corn, or anything else that is supposed to go on this salad. I didn't realize until I got home and they didn't give me a receipt, so I can't return it. Don't go here if you're hungry. read more

Clean place with lots of tables. The onion soup was too thick and sweet. The Cuban sandwich was a little off in taste. The grilled chicken salad was tasty and good. The tea was too strong, no sweetened tea. read more

Walked in with my teammates to order, there's hardly anyone in the Panera because it's 10am. The lady at the register immediately freaks out and asks if we ordered ahead because there's so many of us (there's 10 of us). She proceeded to act extremely annoyed as each of us ordered. She also completely embarrassed one of my teammates whose first language isn't English, as she asked for a turkey sandwich and the lady scoffed loudly saying they don't serve turkey sandwiches for breakfast and she needs to clarify which turkey sandwich she wants because she has no idea what she's talking about. It was extremely demeaning the way she spoke to her and so instead of ordering what else she wanted my teammate walked away. On the bright side, the food came out very quickly and was all correct. As far as the ambiance goes, there's no one at this Panera so it's pretty nice. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Now, I will say the food is on point as it is at all Panera's. However, this location's customer service Is the worst I've ever experienced! Their management is rude and disrespectful which means their employees are as well! And after reading other reviews, this is just their MO! I will never patronize this location again! I will literally drive an hour to Tupelo before I give them another dime! read more

This is a first for me in witnessing a chain restaurant with its owners/managers working and doing the grunt work. I think this leadership from the front lifestyle kicks this business into gear from the jump. The cashiers were very upbeat and the whole 9 yards. I hope this enthusiasm lasts and is not only a front for the managers. Well done Panera! read more

They deserve zero stars! The absolute worst customer service!!! Lazy and lack of care for whoever owns this business! Me and my family just walked out of this Panera after standing there waiting to order and 4, I repeat 4 employees all at different times looking at us, not speaking and walking off!!! So clearly they did not want our business! It was 7:15pm and they do not close until 8pm! I feel sorry for this business owner, that their employees are losing them business! read more

How hard is it to take a drive thru order? Honestly. I spoke loud and clear into the speaker, had to repeat myself 3x, confirmed my order at the window and my order was still wrong. read more

My wife and I ordered the egg sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich recently. Not only was the wait to long after ordering , it was inedible. Absolutely horrible. We both threw our sandwiches away and left. Also it is certainly the right of the business owner to require masks to be worn but in May of 2021 it has been proven pointless and absurd to do so. How is it okay to be seated without masks and everyone be considered safe while those standing to be deemed a threat? We will not ever return to this place. The staff was also very impersonal and rude. read more

Extremely slow service. was there for 40 minutes waiting on my one sandwich and they still did not have it ready. I eventually just left without my food. horrible service, would not recommend at all. do not go read more

I ordered through the drive through and the woman at the window was very unfriendly and basically threw my bag of food at me. I was shocked at the customer service this location had since I am from out of town. read more

I cannot express how accommodating and helpful their staff was. I ordered through door dash and didn't receive everything, the moment I called all they wanted to do was make my order right. So refreshing! These guys are the best! read more

I gave them a three star because while I am generally satisfied, there are times when my grilled sandwich is burned and the drive thru staff makes attempts to hide the burned portion. It is terribly inconvenient when I gave to drive back to get it corrected... Update, in the past 2 months I have on 3 separate occasions gone through the drive through anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes prior to close to have the employees tell me they are closed. I have worked in 2different restaurants in my past and in neither job would it have been acceptable for the staff to completely shut down prior to close time. read more

Just went to Panera bread 2 hours before close time. I wanted to order a tomato soup with a baguette....they were out of bread and spoons. Seems odd Panera Bread is out of BREAD. I would not have been as annoyed if the employees weren't straight unhelpful. The lady who told me they were out of bread had an entire rack of bread behind her, but she told me they were for tomorrow? Panera, your food is great, but train your employees to accommodate their customers as best they can. read more

I don't know why I keep coming back. I just came thru the drive thru to buy something for my 5 year old. Tomato soup (fine), kid's grilled cheese (burned and hard as a rock) and the yogurt that comes with the meal was missing. The most ridiculous part is that I literally asked the person taking my order what the kids meals come with because I was going to buy it separately. Not in the bag after they said it came with the meal. If it were for me, that would be one thing. To disappoint a 4 year old? I've had multiple bad experiences at this location, so I'm done. read more

my friend went to this Panera and asked for the broccoli mac and cheese. After paying and getting back to the dorm she realized it was soup so she drove back and went back through the line. My friend said that the order was wrong and the drive-thru worker asked if she could have the soup back, my friend has worked in the food industry understands that at this time you are not allowed to take the food back. The worker looked at my friend and goes I'm trying to see if you are not just stealing or trying to scam me and slams the window on her. THIS IS THE WORST PANERA WE HAVE EVER GONE TOO. This was uncalled for and just blatantly rude to my friend. read more

Terrible terrible service. Everyone acts like they don't care, don't want to be here. Messed up our orders, didn't apologize for it.

Love the grain bowl. I've ordered it on my past 3 visits. 2nd visit they forgot the chicken when I ordered it to go- hence the 4 stars.

I ordered a Fuji Apple Salad but the kitchen they ran out of apples and did not tell me that information when I ordered. When I went back to the store to have it replace the manager, Kristy, was extremely rude and tried to tell me that apples didn't come on the salad. After I explained to her that I was expecting Apple chips on my Fuji APPLE salad she continued to question me and didn't apologize. Her associate apologized for her because she was clearly rude to me. Mind you, the associates were extremely nice and knew what I was coming in for because I called ahead. Kristy should not be working with customers. read more

Hello your restaurant is the best I want your classical cheese is the best. This restaurant I want to stay here it is the best in town. Make sure you keep making the classic grilled cheese with the white bread read more

This place is a joke! The food is awful! What has happened to Panera. I remember when the s restaurant opened in Hendersonville TN IN 2005. It was clean and delicious. Now it is dirty and and nasty. read more

I love this place. I have been to many Panera outlets; I like all of them, but the one in Oxford, MS more than many others. I go there at least once a week and stay for some time, often hours. The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and laid back, the food consistently very good and the prices very reasonable. Except for certain times (like Sundays at lunchtime) it is not too crowded and you can relax. Usually someone brings you your food to the table, which is not the case for some other Panera outlets. The only thing they could do better is their coffee, which is just ok--but that's not the main reason why I go to Panera. read more

As an East Coast transplant, I was very happy to see Panera come to Oxford! Always great service, delicious food, and clean, laid back atmosphere. Free WiFi makes this a great place to eat and get some work done. Thanks, folks! read more

Panera Bread - Asian chicken salad with squash soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Drive through line took a whole hour. Lady that was taking our order was being extremely rude.

This is absolutely the worst Panera. The workers are always unfriendly. I came here before noon on a Saturday and they were completely out of bagels. This happens on multiple occasions. The other food has become so awful the only thing I come for now is the bagels. Not worth your time coming here. Spend your money elsewhere read more

I love panera, the chain. I eat at the one in my hometown all of the time, and have never had anything but exceptional service/ food quality. But at this panera, I have gotten extremely burnt food multiple times, and the portions seems to be smaller. I stopped eating at this location for a few months just because of this, but I think I've figured out that the problem is with the paninis. A friend who worked at a panera told me that all of the items are made to order except for the paninis, which are just taken out of a package and stuck in a little toaster oven. I stopped ordering paninis here (which were always stale and burnt) and have had much better experiences. TLDR- don't order a panini. It will be burnt. read more

The food, as always, was delicious. I had a very big problem with the workers though. I was never even told how much my food was after I asked twice. The workers just looked at me like I shot their dog. I also asked for sweet tea and was given unsweet tea. I told them it was unsweet and they told me I already paid so they couldn't help. 10/10 sandwich. 1/10 service. 1/10 ambiance. read more

My friend came here to get the new cheddar and broccoli Mac and cheese to help herself feel better after missing her grandma's funeral (she's in MS for college but her family is in PA) not only was she given the wrong food but when she went back to get it fixed she was treated extremely disrespectfully to the point of crying to the supervisor about the issue. The supervisor gave her the food and "dealt" with the problem. Only to find out AGAIN she was given the wrong food...unexceptable customer service and whoever was at the drive thru window should be taught what proper customer service is. AND after reading all the reviews, it sounds like this isn't the first time someone at this window has been blatantly rude to customers. Not sure if it was the same girl but I don't doubt it. 0/5 stars if possible. read more

I would not risk going through the drive thru and not checking every ingredient before I left. They leave main ingredient's off all the time. read more

We have been sitting in drive through for 35 minutes. This is ridiculous. The food will of course be below par.
