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.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Bacon Turkey Bravo

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.

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

Tasty paper
Monica S.

I don't love and I don't hate Panera. I agree with most that it's over priced but I don't eat at most fast food places so when I need something quick I typically can get something from Panera. The majority of the food is healthier and their movie app makes it easy to navigate nutrition content. This location however always messes up! Busy or not! Whenever I catch it they'll usually replace it but sometimes not. I ordered a BBQ chicken flat bread and Greek salad. My BBQ chicken had a nice piece of paper that I mistook for cheese! I brought it to their attention and they made me another.

Best sandwiches on American soil!

Locally owned spot that's been a West Liberty staple for a couple of decades…read more I'm giving three-stars because it's not always consistent and sometimes really just hit or miss with the food. Back in the day it was 4-5 stars all day everyday. Service is always decent though. Typical neighborhood local vibe. When the food is good, it's great. Here are things I've had and loved and sometimes only liked: Burgers (they do crazy things with them like topping with a pierogi) Fries Chicken Pesto Sandwich Mac & Cheese

Our waiter came immediately and let us know the drinks on draft were $2 off for Happy Hour. I ordered the Purple Haze, a raspberry lager, and really enjoyed it's smooth fruity flavor. As a meal, I ordered the fish sandwich with chips, since upgrading to fries was an extra $3. The sandwich came out within 10mins, freshly hot and fried crispy. They split the big fish in half and stacked it on a bun, so it's very filling. On the side they give you a small portion of tarter sauce, which wasn't nearly enough for how much fish was on the sandwich. It was in need for a bit more flavor, so we requested hot sauce. Tabasco was free (other sauces were 50 cents) but unfortunately the bottle stated it expired in June of 2023. It didn't have any spice left and was a brownish color, so I didn't want to put it on my fish. The chips on the side were good, seasoned with salt and pepper. Overall the fish sandwich was good and a large portion, it just needed more sauce or maybe seasoning on the batter to give it more flavoring. For $15, I would recommend supporting a Firehall or Church fish fry that provides more sides with their menu items for the same quality.

The shell tasted like a store bought brand and the topping were minimal to say the least. It also took nearly 30 minutes for one taco and there was only one guy ahead of us and two other people waiting and to be honest their orders took just as long as ours. Not acceptable! The vibe at the festival last year was great and yeah some of the lines were long, but they were all moving exceptionally fast except this one. The workers seemed very confused and overwhelmed. Yeah, the taco was fairly good, but the wait time for one taco was beyond frustrating. I hope if they are there again today at the festival they are serving better quality crumbles, better quality tortilla shells and more plentiful toppings.

This is what I like about Chip and Kale: Food is delicious. Ingredients seem fresh and the opposite of processed food. Price is reasonable and less per serving than other plans I have tried. No ongoing subscription. Food kits arrive frozen which gives me flexibility of what to make and when. The directions are simple and very clear. Even the ingredients are numbered. Minimal packaging. I have been washing and will reuse most of the ziplock bags. I will probably keep two of the totes for personal use and return the others to Chip and Kale. Stand alone deserts offered. Apple strudel looks delicious.

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.
