This location is always a consistent good experience. Bright, clean, and the staff is always friendly (however, they clearly have regulars / favorites who will get much more attention and positivity). The food is always on point, never had a bad meal - exactly what you would expect from a well managed chain. Located on the main drag, close to lots of shopping. A dedicated and shared lot for parking are available. This is a smaller location and seating can be limited during peak times. read more

Hit the drive through a few nights ago to pickup a bowl of soup for dinner before heading to Mt Sterling, IL! I knew there would be limited / no food options once I got into town so I planned on my chicken noodle soup from Panera to still be warm when I arrived to my hotel 45 mins later... and it was!! There's nothing like some chicken noodle soup to make you happy! read more

I stopped by here over the weekend and it was not busy whatsoever. It was quite inside. I haven't had Panera in a long time because it is not my favorite place. But the people who I were with wanted to stop in. So we did. There was no line and you can now order on an iPad and grab a buzzer when your food was ready or they can text you when it is. I ordered turkey chili and a chicken avocado melt. It came out to about $13 with a bottled water. Which was not terrible of a price for the size of the soup bowl. The tables weren't the cleanest but the environment was nice if you needed to do some work. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

About the only chain fast food eateries I eat at are Subway and Panera and I don't visit often. I also don't bother to write reviews of these places unless my experience was either very good or very bad. Stopping at Panera in Quincy, IL was a pleasant surprise as we traveled home from St Louis. We arrived Friday afternoon at 12:45 (prime lunch hour) and every table was full plus there were about 12 cars in the drive through window line. Despite the crowded atmosphere, everyone was pleasant and polite (shout out to Angie and the young man who was refilling the iced tea dispensers). We expected a long wait for our food but it was reasonable given how crowded it was. This location also seemed to attract locals as several greeted the employees by name and vice versa. The restaurant was clean from what I could see and after a warm lunch on a rainy day, we continued home. read more

The food is good but often has a little too much sodium, fat, or sugar. The staff does a great job. The atmosphere is pleasant 90% of the time.! Groups that are allowed to take over the back of the restaurant have , at times, been very very loud and uncaring about the other diners around them. read more

You either love Panera Bread or you hate it. There seems to be no middle ground with these food locations. As always the bread was fresh, staff were amazing, and it was busy as all get out, but did I mention the food was delicious. I do appreciate the "buzzer boxes" as I refer to them, so you can get your drink and find a table vice waiting in the herd to get your meal. This was a bonus all around as it took away the need for "you go find a table and I will get the food", commonly referred to as hide and seek! All in all the location was clean, staff were amazing, and the food delicious. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

When you order a hot cafe mocha thru the drive thru and get cold chocolate milk with Hershey's syrup. Thanks for putting the sleeve on it and telling me be careful, it's hot. YOU EVEN ASKED IF WE WANTED THE COFFEES HOT. F- read more

The bread was ok the service was ok and the ambiance was good. Bagels were very expensive ...the same price as a whole loaf of bread at the store. For what they charge they should at least offer to slice the bagels and give you a few napkins with the order. Flash in the pan. They need more competition. read more

Love it here! Inside is open again, so i'm going to come here all the time to work on homework (and drink coffee). They play good music too :)) read more

Panera Bread - caramel latte and chocolate croissant - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

I ordered pick two Asian chicken salad there was no chicken, called and they sent me a coupon for a free pick teo

Nice and clean. The food was really good. My only complaint is that the seating is a bit crowded.

The food is good but the people who work here are so dumb and rude. We asked about the pastas and they acted like we were stupid. Plus we asked at the drive thru if the bag they gave us was everything and they said ugh it should be. read more

Panera Bread - a street sign and a stop sign - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

Food was okay, not very hot. Service was slow, slow, slow, even using the kiosk to order. Seems the drive through gets priority over people actually eating in the restaurant. Staff could be friendlier, but that's pretty much typical in Quincy. read more

I was not impressed with the waistline and I ordered a chocolate chip muffie and I did not even receive it. By the time I got my food I had to return to work. Not impressed because I also paid for it and they wasted my money. read more

The service at this location has been up and down as it is with most Panera's but never bad enough to prompt a yelp review, never good enough for one either for that matter. I walk in tonight at 830 thinking it will be like any other night only to find everything broken down to a point that I had to ask if they were closed. As shown in the photos the conditions of the serving counters were well below acceptable conditions considering the open top pour it yourself pitcher directly in front of a bucket of cleaning solutions and a trash port, no telling if anyone has reached over and lord knows what could have dropped in. That followed by trash on the counter where food is set for customers to collect, I don't know what sort of rubbish it is but that is beyond the point. The cherry is when I see a young man wiping down the main counter and glass drop his cleaning towel only to pick it up and continue wiping, not a good habit and would hate to think if it's a reoccurring thing. Needless to say I am not impressed nor happy, I get if you are slow you get a jump on cleaning but this is completely unacceptable. read more

The menu is much reduced from what it used to be. They've gotten rid of all their good breakfast sandwiches and their dinner menu is pretty limited. Pastry options are fewer. Prices have gone up, portion sizes are down. As for this particular Panera, they've prepared our order wrong, no compensation. Tables are always dirty. Workers didn't know particulars about the menu, like what caffeine free drinks they offer. Coffee and tea being their main beverages, you'd think this would be something they know. Not enough outlets. Somehow, though they needed more seating, I think they actually managed to build a brand new facility with less. I like the order from the table option. read more

Panera Bread - The size of my $5 breakfast sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

Great Fresh and healthy food, a little expensive, really clean. Good service and they deliver as well, many business could learn from the quality offered by their services. read more

I'm very disappointed with this Panera location. I have tried to give it several tries but ever since they opened the new, "improved" place it has been all downhill. The first time I went it was a very cold day, they let people come in a side door and the wind was blowing right through the restaurant. We were freezing but it was so busy there was no where to move to. They brought my salad and it had no chicken like it was supposed to. I was alone with my small daughter and could not get any servers attention so I just didn't eat it. When I brought it up after my daughter was done, the manager barely apologized but did give me a refund, since I didn't eat it anyway. Then today I brought my daughter again and it was very busy. They only had one cashier working. I ordered our food and when it came out they gave my daughter a moldy, browning sliced apple for her side. They didn't even take the time to cut the seeds out. It's for a kids meal! After we ate, I wanted to redeem my pastry item and the line was soooo long again with one cashier. I ended up going through the drive thru to get it and it was so much easier. I really like Panera, but this location does not live up to the standard. It's too bad. read more

Panera Bread - This is the way they served my daughters sliced apple, I seriously wonder how any manager would think it's ok to serve this to a customer. - Sandwiches Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

The food was tasty and the service was great! Only complaint was the food portions. Not nearly enough to fill up an adult.

Very slow (ordering and making the food). Was better at the old location. The new location isn't as inviting and the staff is not as good or plentiful. The drive-through is pretty good. I like their food but they're so slow that I rarely go there. read more

Love the new store-drive thru is a big plus. Really think it should of had the gas fireplace put in. Especially since the day I visited was a blustery cold wet and rainy day. Note to management and owners; I arrived at 750 and all the souffles were out. All the coffee was out and the wait staff/runners were all ponied up to their computers. I'm sorry but that looks really bad. Work in process... read more

I went to this Panera and was already shocked by how long the DRIVE THROUGH was. After $30 for 2 sandwiches and a bagel, I get home to see that the sandwich i order has basically nothing on it, and that i probably could've made them better. very disappointed, and feel very ripped off read more

This is by far the best Panera I have ever visited and I go a lot in St. Louis. The decor is updated and tasteful, the food was fresh and the portions were generous. The service was so good. We were served two of the same sandwiches and they gave it to us on the house. When we changed our minds about one of our sides, they allowed us to keep the side we ordered and gave us the baguette for free. When I was filling my drink, one of the servers inquired about my day. Just so pleasant and out of the normal! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Good service .And right when you order your food in 2 minutes it's already done.The floors are a little bit dirty. But other than that pretty good place . read more

Okay, there are thousands of Panera's and St. Louis Bread Company Locations, so why write a review about them? Simple, the key to eating at Panera's is whether the local manager, actually manages his or her employees, and insists on freshly made items, served promptly in a clean environment. When the employees focus on doing a great job for their customers, then they get super marks. When the manager is mediocre, then so is the location and the employees attitude and performance reflects the managers. This location is in an incredibly busy shopping strip. Lunch on Saturday was mobbed, and the restaurant full to the brim. The employees, moved from station to station, to ensure super service, the food was as fresh and served beautifully and was top notch tasty. I was impressed with how clean the restaurant was when it was that busy and how friendly the employees were. I felt like that they were glad to see my family as customers. The next morning we went to breakfast, and the manager jumped on a cash register when he saw that the other two had more than 3 people in line. I thought that is the sign of a young man going places in the Panera's organization. Nothing tricky, the ladies had oatmeal and berries, but it was hot and fresh. I had two egg whites, and a toasted bagel. Not tricky, but the eggs were freshly made and did not taste like they had been sitting around, and the bagel was cut and toasted in a matter of a minute. Both meals were very impressive, and Panera's needs to be proud of this location! read more

This is a great Panera Bread location. I ate there a couple of times on a recent visit (breakfast both times). I had both of the oatmeal selections and both were very good. Staff are friendly and efficient. The restaurant eating area and the bathrooms are very clean. We were able to sit outside both mornings. The outdoor seating area is a decent size. There seemed to be plenty of space indoors as well. I have eaten in several other Panera Bread locations - I would put this at the top of the list of those I have visited read more

Stopped in to catch up on some work and have cup of coffee. Ended up getting a cherry Danish on the recommendation of the cashier. Both were great. There was plenty of room to spread out to work and it was not to crowded and noisy to get something done. read more

I'm here in Quincy IL for about 10 days. I needed to find a place with WIFI to work and study. Panera Bread fits the bill. They've got a good menu and great coffee. Great soup in a bread bowl and a pretty good selection of sandwiches and panini's. I picked up a couple loafs of bread and desert..Very Good !! This location must be pretty new. The staff got a little nervous around the lunch hour. They were absolutely packed from noon to 1:30. They'll get better at dealing with the lunch rush as they get more experience. I would be a regular if I lived near here... read more

I recommend this place to everyone! Fantastic soup, salads and sandwiches! Always clean seating available for as busy as it is. My favorites are the greek salad and the frontega chicken sandwich with mustard on it. I have been ordering the same thing for a few years now. Why mess with perfection? read more

I went in to Panera Bread with my Daughter and Grandson son for lunch . I ordered French onion soup and a salad . I ordered my Grandson mac&cheese . When my order was ready , I went to pick it up , they had not given me my Grandsons order , they told me I had not been charged so I had to go back up and reorder and pay again . That was fine people make mistakes . I sit down to eat , I look at my soup and all it was , was a clump of soggy onion's with cheese on top and NO SOUP !!!! I walked up and asked the woman serving the soup if I could have some soup and not so much onions ? She smirked at me and said " if you are going to order onion soup then you will get onions !!! " her demeanor was deplorable !!! I said , " that was a very smart aleck reply ! She through her head back and laughed at me . Needless to say , I will not be going into that Panera Bread ever again . This woman wore glasses and was working at the pick up counter at around noon . 8/30/17 I will not give any star rating !!!! read more

I would give this location a zero if I could. Since the new location opened it's nothing but a disappointing mess. Both times I was here the order taker struggled with a simple sandwich order and still got it wrong. The seating inside is terrible with no large booths and very little plug in outlet unless you sit at the counter. I use to love the old location and never had issues, and now it's just terrible. They have lost me as a customer because I won't be coming back. read more

Another local restaurant heading downhill fast. We used to eat here a lot, but over the past several months it has gotten consistently worse. One counter person engaged me in an argument over the fact that he said I could only get a particular soup in a bread bowl (forget which soup). Told him I don't want a bread bowl. He said you have to take it that way or you can't get it. So I paid the $10 for a bowl of soup in a bread bowl and was served about a cup of soup in a standard bowl. When I asked what the heck, they acted like it was my fault! The total was close to 30 bucks for two people for soup and sandwiches, and that's simply too high for what they serve. So much for Panera Bread. Another place that was very good for a long time, then suddenly took a wrong turn somewhere. read more

Normally I love Panera bread and their service but today I didn't receive part of my order even tho my receipt says that I clearly paid for it. I order soup, a salad, and the works to-go. I also order a bagel and as the cashier got done toasting it she dropped it on the floor. Mistakes happen and I watched her go get a new bagel. I waited patiently in line as another customer was having issues with her order; I was very understanding as the 5 o'clock rush was picking up and I've worked in food service and know how things go. I'm just very disappointed that I was charged almost 2 dollars for a bagel I didn't get to eat. read more

Ya know twice now we've seen baked potato soup on the website and when we called, and twice when we've gone they didn't have it, maybe you should idk TAKE THE SOUP OFF OF YOUR MENUS!? That's a start especially if you don't want a gd bad review. This Panera makes all others look bad, thank god in from a town whose panera actually cares about the customers. read more

As always panera is reliable, clean and tasty. Perfect quantity for all diners. Just what we needed atfter a long drive from Springfield with nowhere to stop on the way read more

Love their sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich -- it's absolutely delicious. Decided to branch out and try something a bit more "healthy" (as if you're going to find something that is). In that vein, I tried the turkey sausage, egg white, and spinach breakfast sandwich today. Absolutely, the most disgusting thing I've tried to eat in a long time. One bite, and nearly $5 later, it was in the trash. They should measure nutrition facts by the bite, not the sandwich because I challenge anyone to think that they could eat an entire sandwich -- it's just that disgusting. read more
