    Nicest guy

    Anthony Simpson in drive thru was very kind efficient and professional thank you for making the road trip from Chicago to Nashville that much more bearable I'll be back every time I make the trip! Thanks again

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    We visited Paducah for the Quilt Show, and my wife, a quilter, expressed a desire for barbecue…read more Following a recommendation from a local merchant, we went to Starnes BBQ. The restaurant was quite busy. We secured a table and ordered two sandwiches, an order of coleslaw, and shared an iced tea. My wife is particular about sauces; we both tasted a small amount, and found the sauce to be excessively hot, with the consistency of watered-down hot sauce and lacking in traditional barbecue flavor. While the locals seemed to enjoy it, we did not find it to our liking. Having sampled barbecue in various regions, from California to the Carolinas, we found this to be the worst sauce we've encountered. We did not use the sauce on our sandwiches. The meat was adequately cooked but lacked flavor. The coleslaw was very good, as was the iced tea. The service was excellent. The restaurant is quite small, as evidenced by the previous photos. If you are seeking authentic Southern barbecue, Starnes BBQ falls short of expectations.

    I've been coming here for over 50 years and it's absolutely the best BBQ you will find anywhere…read more The building hasn't changed a bit. Still just a counter with stools around it But the staff is always super friendly and the food is simple but top notch If you go at lunch expect a line possibly out the door but they move quick The only thing that's changed is they no longer have RC Cola in the glass bottles but I know that's a thing of the past If your in Paducah don't pass this up it's right across from Noble Park
