    I visit Panera regularly in my city so I figured visiting a Panera in another city would be fine. When my husband and I are headed to St. Louis, we normally stop in Paducah, KY. We needed to fill up our gas tank and get some food so we stopped at this Panera. The people inside were friendly. I had ordered my family's food via the app so that we could do rapid pickup. Our food wasn't ready by the designated time so they gave us a free cinnamon roll. Of all the times I have eaten at Panera, I've never had the oatmeal. I have been missing out! The oatmeal was delicious! I'd definitely get it again!

    Blueberry muffin

    Best muffin I have had in a long time! It's filled with so many blueberries! If only every Panera was like this

    Self-order kiosks are here!

    This is a great location, Panera has healthy choices (and excellent, strong coffee), and it is usually clean. The problem here, though, is that the service is almost always a struggle. This has been a meeting spot for me with friends often since it's been in Paducah. I've been there when the coffee is out, but the biggest problem (and I have to say it is actually usually the case) is getting help at the register. In the 20 times that I am there in the morning (6:15 or so) I am often the first one in the line. Even though there are lots of people working on bread & stuff, no one ever seems to want to come to the register. Since I am usually just there for the coffee, getting served and then to a seat is important. Having to wait on service and then ask for coffee to be brewed fresh isn't cool.

    1/2 Greek Salad 1/2 Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, Apple. 510 calories. $12.16 total price

    Today I added the Panera App to my iPhone. I received an instant reward so I decided to try it out. I went inside to order. Skipped the kiosk, and ordered with an employee. I ordered the half & half. I chose half the Greek Salad, and half the Napa Almond Chicken Sandwich. For my side I picked a fresh red apple, I'm calorie conscious. I asked the employee since Panera is known for natural foods, locally grown if the red apple was organic. She did not know. She tried to ask others, they did not know. I asked her if it was not, if they wash the commercial wax off the apples that they serve. Because I do not want this chemical in my body. She did not know, so I washed my own apple. The food looked and tasted great. However I do not think someone who is truly wanting to eat 100% organic can TRUST this chain to get it right. They claim they do, but I'm not feeling very secure about that. They definitely charge organic prices! My lunch was $12.16 after I added a large unsweetened black iced tea. See pictures, the food looks great. Hope this helps. My "reward" was a large chocolate chip, M&M cookie which I gave to my grandson who is 3. I do not eat them. I was not offered anything else. My Italian Salad had 1 Olive in it, and 2 peppers. It was about 99% lettuce.

    Green Goddess Cobb Salad with chicken and french baguette ($9.29)
    Robert S.

    Decent salad that tasted good, although a tad on the pricey side for a Green Goddess Cobb salad with chicken that came with a small baguette ($9.29). I went half an hour before closing, but the employees were nice. Unfortunately, being so close to closing, there were only a handful of desserts left.

    Service was fast and friendly. Since I'm from California there are no Panera bread locations with a drive thru which is awesome !

    I love Panera, but this one is very unorganized and very messy. The one in Carbondale, IL is much better than the one here.

    If I could give this restaurant no stars I would. Horrible service and even worse food.

    Great food and the best broccoli chesse soup. The only complaint I have is they tend to under staff the order takers.

    First time my soup was cool because they didn't let my beeper go off and the lady was rude to me if I hadn't already paid I would have left

    Delicious dinner in Paducah! Everything was excellent from start to finish. We began with wine and…read morea beer, then shared the smoked fish dip and smoked Caesar salad. For our entrée, we shared the pork shoulder, and it was absolutely delicious. The fennel aioli was such a great touch, and the combination of pork, peas, and greens made for the perfect Southern bite. We enjoyed it so much I wish we could go back tonight! We took a slice of lemon chess pie to go, and it was every bit as delicious as the rest of the meal. Kyle was our server and was fantastic--very knowledgeable and helpful with our selections. The restaurant was busy with a fun, lively atmosphere, but not so loud that we couldn't easily talk and enjoy our dinner. Definitely one of our favorite meals in Paducah!

    Freight House in Paducah is worth the drive from Nashville (and if you are a fan of quilting, this…read morecity is for you). We showed up right at opening, five o'clock, and there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. Make a reservation. I'm glad we did. We had a party of four and was seated at a low top that had a view of the kitchen. Lively open space with an open kitchen you can see both the cook line and the prep area. The cornbread was the unexpected standout of the entire meal. Mildly sweet, savory, light and fluffy all the way through. I was not expecting a side dish to steal the show, but it did. We also ordered the double stuffed burrata, and the bread it came with deserves its own mention. Crisp, lightly toasted, with just a touch of char. It paired beautifully with the creamy burrata and the accompaniments on the plate. For my entree I went with the grilled Caesar salad and added shrimp. It ended up being the perfect call. The portion was generous, the shrimp addition made it feel like a real meal. The romaine had this excellent crisp char on it that added so much. The dressing was heavenly. One of the best Caesar dressings I have had in a while. My favorite parts of the night had nothing to do with what was on my plate. We got to watch chef Sara Bradley working the kitchen with her team during service, and it was clear why this place has the reputation it does. I'd love to come back and try the prix fixe tasting menu next time. Overall this was a great experience from start to finish. And a must stop or destination when driving through KY.

The first time I came here they were out of the special so I think they just make a certain amount and when it's gone it's gone. It was some tortellini that looked amazing so I'm not surprised it sold out. I went with the cheeseburger sliders and did a side of the veggies. The sliders were good. I think they forgot the cheese sauce. Or they just barely put any on. I didn't see it taste it. But they were still good and the veggies were very delicious too. I had some left over and mixed them with my eggs the next morning. The second, and most recent time I was here, they had a chicken pecorino with rice and veggies. The chicken was absolute perfection. Perfectly crispy and moist inside. It was easily cut with the plastic knife I had. The rice was just over the line or too salty but when mixed with the chicken and veggies it all worked. It was a delicious meal. The food comes out pretty quickly, especially if you get the special since it's sitting up front on the line. I don't live nearby so don't get to come here as often as I'd like but I definitely want to try more of their specials. So much of what they post looks amazing. I love that the students are learning and we benefit!
