I really like the layout of this Panera location. The front is more spread out with a fireplace and the back is a little narrower with a nook-like long booth - perfect for introverts like me who enjoy their Panera meals alone in peace! I got a parfait recently and the employee putting it together really took the time to mix in all the ingredients and make it all look nice for me. It tasted delicious too! A family at the neighboring table couldn't help but ask what it was because it looked so tasty. The staff here is gracious and phenomenal. While I was eating and working on my laptop, one of the workers passed by and asked if I needed a glass of water or anything else to make me more comfortable. She also wished me luck in my classes, which was super thoughtful :) I noticed that the staff made a small error with one customer's meal, but they fully owned it and offered her a pastry for the inconvenience. I was impressed! All in all, saying this is a great establishment (and kept very clean too, by the way) is an understatement. I just love it!

Half Cuban sandwich and mac and cheese
Jenee S.

It's been a long time since I've been to any Panera Bread location. We received a gift card over a year ago and finally decided to go. I placed an order for pickup and left my house at the same time. My order was ready before the pickup time given. After I got back home, everything in the order was correct. I ordered half a Cuban sandwich and macaroni and cheese, with French baguette as the side. The macaroni and cheese is to die for! It's now one of my favorites. And I'm picky about my mac. It was very flavorful and creamy. I'll be back just for this. The sandwich was slightly better than average but definetly could have used more meat. The bauguette was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'll get the full sized macaroni and cheese next time!

Steel cut oatmeal - no strawberries or pecans
Jayme B.

This was my first time eating IN a restaurant since February. I met a friend for breakfast here. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I got the steel cut oatmeal and an Early Gray tea. Everything came out as requested and quickly. I really never go on this side of town, but if I ever am again, I'd definitely stop into this Panera location.

Love me some Panera! This location is one of my most visited! The employees are always great and has fast service. At my visit this nice young man even gave over and took our plates when we were done! They are never out of any items and always a good experience. Highly recommend this location!

Panera Bread to-go, quick and easy ordering!

I went here to enjoy a day out while still sticking to my 'diet'. My boyfriend and I both chose the (full) Greek Salad w/ Chicken. We had the choice of a side: hunk of baguette, apple, or kettle cooked potato chips. Not the best sides for one on a low carb diet so we left the chips for the next customer. The salads were fresh and delicious, with a nice amount of dressing, not too much or too little. I did notice that they either got rid of the pickled onions or didn't have any this day, because I got normal sliced red onion. Also, a couple pieces of our chicken were actually frozen in the middle (they were fully cooked and everything, just literally frozen) which was off-putting but we just ate around them until they thawed out a little bit lol! Although clearly fully cooked and frozen from a bag, their chicken is always delicious and seasoned nicely. My boyfriend tested out most of the teas- he really liked the green tea w/ mango and stuck with that one for his meal. I think $8 for a salad is a bit high for fast-casual but in my opinion, it has a restaurant quality and portion size to it and also it comes with your choice of a side, so I am just fine paying that amount to be able to treat myself to a nice fresh healthy lunch.

Before I woke up this morning my wife ordered food for us. She loves Panera and I also enjoy the taste of the food. However, 90% of the time my food is seriously lacking. Today she ordered me a smokehouse chicken sandwich and a Carmel iced latte. When it arrived I first tried the latte. It was really, really good. Then I grabbed my sandwich and sat down to eat. This is where the problem I have with Panera always comes in to play. My sandwich has almost nothing on it. The bread is normal size but there may be 1oz of chicken on it. I didn't think of reviewing until after I had finished and then made myself eggs (because I was still very hungry) or I would have taken a picture. I am including a picture taken directly off of a Yelp ad of what my sandwich was supposed to look like. Please understand that in this picture you can see more than double the amount of chicken than what i received. Everytime we have Panera (my wife always brings me or orders for me) I am left still hungry and feeling like we didn't even receive half of what we paid for. Needless to say, I am 100% disappointed in my breakfast this morning. There wasn't enough chicken to feed an infant. Is that how the employees are trained to make your food or am I just always unlucky and get food that wasn't made properly?

I hadn't eaten a bite yet. This cost $7.00

What do I love about Panera? The food is prepared fresh, they use whole foods, and their chicken is raised without antibiotics. That's awesome! I can't wait until more restaurants start following suit. What do I really, really, not love? The prices and lately, the portions. Prices are going up while sizes, particularly of their salads, are decreasing-and that's the chain, not just this location. Today I got a cup of soup and a full size greens salad. I didn't go for the pick 2 because I never feel full after going the soup and salad route there. I thought if I got a full salad instead, that would fix this issue, right? No. My salad didn't come close to filling the bowl. I paid $12+ for my meal, no drink, nothing but the soup and salad. So the tiny greens salad-which is the cheapest one on the menu and the most plain, without any meat or ANYTHING but greens, a couple slices of red onions, and dressing-cost nearly $7.00. That's crazy. All they have to do to improve the salads is just add more lettuce/greens. Even when I'm ordering a specialty salad, I don't want or expect more chicken/nuts/etc. Just please. Please help the salad to not look completely pathetic. I like Panera, I'll keep going for the food, but I'm staying away from their salads for good. My wallet hurts looking at what cost $7.00 when it would be less than $1.00 for me to throw together at home...any maybe then I'd actually be full after.

steak egg and cheese "heaven"
Nena U.

We ordered Panera catering "Assorted breakfast sandwiches" for a safety meeting at work and it was quite a treat. The sandwiches were delivered warm and were quite delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and each sandwich was individually wrapped. I really liked the steak egg and cheese.. it was da bomb baby! Thanks Panera.

Best sandwiches on American soil!

With Pittsburgh's lack of Bagel places, Panera fits the bill perfectly. Asiago Cheese bagels are some of the best i've ever eaten. Try toasting them under the broiler then rubbing them with a little raw garlic and dip into a good extra virgin olive oil. Great soups and sandwiches. Good people at the counter!

Me and couple of gals from work went to try this location. Ordered the broccoli cheddar soup with steak and arugula sandwich. The soup and the sandwich tasted pretty good as well as the service but is really bugged me how the place was dirty and no attention was given to clean up after some customers and it was just a mess. We couldn't find a clean table to sit so we had to clean our own table . Did not enjoy eating in dirt like that

Half size of seasonal butternut squash ravioli. ..yummm!

I've driven up and down Potomac Ave for years and never noticed Fredo's which is right next door to…read morethe Dormont Theater. I had to stop into Fredo's after seeing photos from my daughter who had just spent two weeks in Bosnia. The interior of Fredo's is like stepping into a small shop you'd find in Bosnia. The yellow walls are welcoming, and cozy. There's a small variety of snacks, and beverages on one side of the shop, and a large counter where you'd place your order. There are a few tables for dining in, but I chose to take my order home. I ordered a small Cevapi and Sirnica, plus picked up some Croatian chocolate for dessert. The Cevapi were delicious skinless beef and veal sausages, that were nicely savory and well browned. A cup of chopped onions, and what I think was a yogurt sauce came with my Cevapi which added more flavor and an overall goodness to the Cevapi. A bread similar to a pita made eating Cevapi easy, and filling. The Sirnica was equally delicious. A wonderful mix of flaky, chewy phyllo pastry, and cheese baked inside the pastry. It definitely hit the spot with a nice balance of a light pastry and mild cheese. I ate the leftover half cold, and it was just as good! The lady at the counter was friendly, and patient with me. The menu is truly a deli menu full of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. If you're wanting to go for the House Specials, you won't be disappointed!

I stopped in here for dinner with my mom on a Wednesday evening. They're open til 7pm, but it was…read moreempty when we arrived. They have a couple of tables inside for dining and we chose the one closest to the coffee bar. The one employee there took our order and made our food right next to us at the counter/kitchen set up located behind the register. We did see several takeout orders get picked up while we were there. My mom had the gyro salad and I ordered an Italian with no onions or dressing. My mom was disappointed that the "greens" were actually chopped romaine and/or iceberg. The gyro meat was flavorful and had a nice crisp to the outside and the homemade dressing was delicious. The Italian was also decent. I'm picky when it comes to hoagie rolls and this baguette was soft and fresh. I typically prefer more of a crisp exterior, but this was fine. The meat and toppings were fresh and the sandwich was served with a small bag of Lay's on the side. Overall, we had a nice experience dining in the small deli, but with so many options in the Pittsburgh area, I can't say we were wowed enough to be repeat customers.

In my mind and memories, this place is fantastic. In reality, ... I'll explain…read more I'm not regularly in this part of the city anymore. I'd rather drive out of state than have to cross a bridge and tunnel to get somewhere so I only stopped twice when at a nearby meeting. Decades back, my best friend lived right up the street. This was practically an extension of their own house. They were there often. Often is an understatement. I'd get off from work and knew where I could find friends. Here. I'd often stop and pick up something on my way home to the South Side Slopes. I recognize that its been a long, long time since I lived in the Southern Side of the city. I haven't been here regularly in years. I still enjoy stoping by. The last few times, the service was - I hate to say this- not good. I really do hate to say that. The reason people loved this place was because Louie, Toni, & their staff were friendly and made it an experience. Long gone are staff that made anyone in Pgh feel welcome. The last 2 stops in, I felt like an inconvenience. My orders weren't correct each time. One was a to go order. I specifically asked for things to be done a certain way because I was ordering for my husband & kids. I chalked it up to the time of day & blamed myself. I did not look it over since I was trying to beat traffic... this is a classic place. It has to be me. Not them. I had an hour break and decided to stop in. Again, staff ignored me when I ordered. It took up that entire time to get served. It was awkward. My meal was lackluster, at best. My mind wants to believe in this place and that their stuffed bananas, zucchini and chicken sandwiches will never change- but I think they have. At this point, I don't see myself going anytime soon intentionally. If a friend were to ask us to join them, I would.

Those MEATBALLS!!!! Y U M !!!! Recent visit. The owner…read moreand staff were top notch and very personable. The food was excellent! Rigatoni, hot sausage, wedding soup, chicken, wonderful salad with an olive in practically every bite. I tried all of it. Can't say enough about this place. They really do a great job and serve homemade Italian food that is delicious.
