Shrinkflation has now hit Panera Bread , our order today was horrible. Just a month ago my wife and I ordered the same thing we ordered today. And it was like night and day between the two orders. I wish I had pictures to compare the two orders side by side but I unfortunately don't. Our sandwiches today were much smaller with less ingredients than the previous order. Things are changing all over the country and I'm pretty sure tariffs has nothing to do with this shortfall read more

Panera has maintained a great menu with lots of choices. The menu had some new items. This location has some good outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking and the coffee is always hot and fresh. read more

We were a party of 16 people. The service was great because they didn't miss anything in our order. Great job! On the other hand, the taste of the food was just ok. I tried the bacon Mac and cheese, but it did not have flavor. The Chipotle chicken sandwich was fine, but again, it lacked flavor. read more

Panera Bread - Order a toasted cut bagel with cream cheese. Got a cold, not cut bagel that appears to of been made by a kindergartener. - Sandwiches Near Me - Riverview, Florida

The food at this location is exceptional. Especially the broccoli and cheddar soup and chicken bacon BLT. The customer service can be improved; the staff at Panera was blunt, got the job done, but could've been nicer. read more

Service and food are usually pretty good. On par for what they do. Portions over the years got much smaller but quality is still there. Unfortunately, this recent visit I went to go try the new potato soup on this cold night and I got nothing but broth zero potatoes in the soup. Maybe they were in a rush. This is why I'm giving a lower score. read more

Always consistent food taste. I typically order a pick 2 with half steak and cheese sandwich and broccoli and cheddar soup. Service is normally quick and neither food nor service disappointed on this visit. The restaurant is essentially set up like the typical fast food restaurant where you seat yourself. During my visit, it was clean and workers were wiping tables. I'll return in future visits to the area. read more

Is there any reason why your name has to be shouted at when your order is ready, especially when you place an order on Panera's app? Is counter staff shouting your name across the restaurant good or poor customer service? To me, that is poor customer service. If Covelli Enterprises - the franchise owner of this and many Panera Bread locations throughout the Tampa Bay region - wants to stay in business then customer service must improve. After all, good customer service including courtesy to customers is not an interruption - it is the future of any business. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious and made right! I don't know where they find the people who work there, but they are so friendly and accommodating. The dining room is clean and organized and they go out of their way to be nice to customers! The booths and decor look a little outdated, but it's clean and the food is good. Sip club is a lifesaver. Free WiFi and chill place to work quietly or meet up with friends for a healthy meal. read more

I've been going to this same Panera Bread for 10-years or more. The quality of both the food and the service has deteriorated over the last several years. Today, the side bread was completely soggy on the bottom and cold, so I went to get another piece. The girl pulled a baguette out of a plastic bag and broke off a piece. It was the same soggy texture and cold. Not warm and crusty on the entire outside as it used to be. It's a restaurant built around "bread", so when that sucks it is a good indication about the state of the chain. Also, about halfway through my soup, I felt something in my mouth similar to a shrimp shell. When I pulled it out and put it on the plate, it was a piece of plastic that had been in the soup. Not going back! The 'Southwest Chicken Salad' gets an 8/10. read more

I recently ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a cheese steak. At the price i paid, you think there would have been some more product in the sandwich. Literally i got a small schemer in each. It was all lettuce in the sandwich and maybe a very small layer of steak. It was awful and had i looked before i got home, I would have gone back in there and asked for my money back, read more

We visited once for dinner and once for lunch. Dinner first. I ordered the pick 2. I chose the pepperoni baqutte melt and caeser salad. The salad was very good and it was gone immediatley. The sandwich, well instead of the pepperoni i was served the buffalo chicken melt. I didnt complain and ate it. Not bad. Lunch. Tried the pep melt and more caeser. Salad again was awesome the sandwich was disappointing. Very skimppy on the pep. It was like a bread sandwich. Dont be fooled by the tv ads and their pictures, these toasted sammied are a bust. At $10 each i expect more. Cant recommend. 2 stars. Frankly expected better. read more

Always loved the food! The bread is outstanding! The soups are always good along with the sandwiches.

Ok. Is this the best Panera Bread? No. Was the food good? Yes. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and it was soooo delicious. It had an amazing combination of flavor, warm bread and juicy, tender chicken. Could not have asked for a better sandwich. The problems. Their soda machine was down and none of their juices were appealing. Maybe the universe was telling me that I needed water in my life, but I was really craving a high-sugar, carbonated beverage. Secondly, the wait was INCREDIBLY long. Like, on a whole other level of taking FOREVER to get your food. It wasn't extremely busy either. I had to ask twice about the status of my order. After the second time, someone started barking orders to the other cooks telling who to make what. It was crazy disorganized. read more

Not a huge fan of Panera but always seem to visit this location several times per year. The food is always fresh and good( though skimpy on the protein). The associates are great and helpful. Atmosphere is always comfortable. Overall a good value. read more

I go to this Panera often for a quick bite because it's extremely convenient to my house. The parking lot is huge and parking is never a problem. I find that EVERY time I've gone to this location I have to take out my hand wipes I keep in my purse and clean the table and chairs. It's extremely hard to find a clean table to sit at! I have noticed on a few occasions and at this last visit a woman going around the tile with a mop. At this particular time she was literally mopping under my feet and others while we were ordering. The tables were in more need of a cleaning than the floor. There wasn't a spill or anything that needed to be cleaned up, so I'm not sure why she was mopping under our feet. I noticed many girls standing around behind the counters kidding around with each other. I'm not sure why the manager didn't send one or two of them to clean the dining room tables & chairs. After I cleaned the table and seats we were able to enjoy our lunch. I always enjoy the Fuji Apple salad with a soup. This time I had the tomato soup which was good. My husband always gets some type of sandwich. There are many different sandwiches to choose from. There is a rapid order pick up at this location which is good if you are in a hurry or on lunch from work. I've never used it but assume it's convenient. There is also a nice outdoor seating area at this location as well. read more

This is a nice cafe/bakery that does sandwiches, salads ,soups, and bakery items. The coffee is excellent, and it is help yourself. There is a nice selection of bagels, danish and pastries. They have egg sandwiches and soufflés. The soup menu changes daily. It includes creamy tomato, chicken & rice, broccoli cheddar, and cream of potato. Some of my favorite lunch items are the turkey bacon bravo sandwich and the Fuji chicken apple salad. You can sit with your tablet or laptop without feeling hurried to leave. My only criticism is the dining room needs to be cleaned up faster after the busy periods of breakfast and lunch. read more

Decided to try one of the warm bowls. Would have liked to try the Greek bowl, but it was "out of stock". This location always seems to have many things out of stock. Tried the Teriyaki Broccoli and Chicken Bowl. As you can see there were maybe 5 very small pieces of broccoli and the size of the bowl was about half of what the picture shows on the menu. It was tasty, but leaves you hungry afterwards. read more

Pathetic. Are you kidding me? Sandwiches are an absolute joke! See pics. One had an entire half of a browning avocado thrown on and the other had one single small piece. One was missing sauce that supposed to come on the side. Salad was missing ingredients (spinach and cucumber). French onion soup was nothing but broth and onions, was missing cheese and croutons. My order number was 450897418. read more

I have to say a big KUDOS to Panera for rocking the curbside rapid pick up! I placed my order using their app and in less than ten minutes I had arrived, parked in the rapid pick up location, marked that I was there on the app and the Panera employee was walking out bringing my order. She was very polite and was taking the necessary precautions using a mask and gloves. I mean I was so shocked that it was THAT easy! I will definitely be using their rapid curbside pick up again! Today I tried the new Strawberry PoppySeed Salad and O.M.G is it delicious! It was fresh, yummy, and plentiful! I included a couple oatmeal and berry cookies which were nice and soft and oh so yummy! Panera knows how to do it right y'all! If you need a quick, wholesome and delicious meal to ease your mind during quarantine then visit this Panera! read more

Not the greatest Panera I've had, sandwiches are underwhelming. I'm still loyal to Panera at other locations, just not this one.

When spending 35$ for 2 1/2 sandwiches and a tiny soup. One would think you would get all said items. No, in fact they forgot to put a whole sandwich in the bag. Also, upon returning it was an oh my bad and sandwich was sitting on the counter. Mind you its been 15 minutes between my drive home and back now. Thats not even the part that irks me, the part is instead of making a new sandwich, they give me one that looks like Hulk Hogan leg dropped from the top rope. Way to pricey for a meh sandwich and especially one that looks like McDonald's quality read more

"Bread with Toppings" - not sandwiches! Ah Panera ... your halo is slipping. Once the destination for artisanal triple-s (soups, salads, and sandwiches), it now seems to be descending into the "almost as good as the deli counter at [name the supermarket]... but not quite." I went there for lunch yesterday with my in-laws. My mother in law had a salad. No complaints, but how badly can you screw up a bowl of lettuce? I had the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. It was good. Not great, but good. I would order it again, although despite not being a 'big lunch' guy, I was still hungry when I finished. My father-in-law, who treated us and joined the MyPanera points club on this visit, didn't fare so well. He ordered the Steak & Arugula Sandwich. Oh there was bread, lots of bread. There was arugula - I saw it. The steak? [insert game show loser buzzer] OK, I realize Panera markets itself as a bakery, so the bread is the star. Great, but, if one advertises "sandwiches" the word connotes a certain center filled with goodies. Nope. Not at this Panera, not this "sandwich." A hearty sourdough bread was dotted with a small amount of "ingredients," or it wasn't. In fact, with a third of the sandwich still uneaten, my father-in-law parted the bread to show there was... a small piece of lettuce and a 1/4" sliver of onion. Now dear readers, I'm a realist. I wasn't expecting a Carnegie Deli sandwich with a two-inch stack of meat. I will point out, however, that even McDonalds, the love-it-or-hate-it granddaddy of fast food franchises has figured out how to apportion meats and toppings so they actually fill the bun and therefore each bite. Not so at this Panera. Even if the initial content of the sandwich met Panera's serving guidance, it was assembled so as to have most of what little filling there was on only one side of the sandwich, yielding nothing but sourdough bread for a full third of the meal. Sloppy, miserly work, Panera. So Panera, maybe you can take a cue or two from the deli at the local Publix supermarket. As I recall a sandwich I bought from there several weeks ago had fresh-baked bread too(!), and a bunch of meat/fillings double-to-triple the volume of your sandwiches(!), and cost less than a half of what you charged us for an almost-empty bun. If you can't increase portions, at least apportion the fillings to maximize the yeasty real estate. Otherwise, you're selling "bread with toppings," not sandwiches. As the Drill Sergeant says, "I am cruel but I am fair." You charged us for a sandwich but delivered almost-empty bread. I cry "foul!" read more

I used to like coming here because I happen to love the bread bowls. However, I expected to have Panera delivered to me, and I saw the car that was supposed to drop my food off, and it took off without giving me that food. Instead of telling the driver to bring my food back, Panera wanted to cancel my order and have me reorder. read more

We had the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. The food was ordinary, actually bland. The service was quick, and the staff was pleasant, which gets it 2 stars. I won't be back. read more

The food was yummy as always! Mainly writing this review for the girl who helped us named Emma. We're from out of town and paying with over 5 gift cards. We'd been driving all day so we were a bit loopy and she was very patient with us and our excessive giggling. Thank you Emma! read more

I frequent this location often as it close to home and not too crowded. Every visit has been generally on par never had a problem the food is as ordered and hot. Flavors tend to blend aromatically on there new bowls which is why they have become a favorite for me. Staff is friendly and with clear your table if they pass you and noticed your been seated for a time. Also, most fountain drinks are free refills including lemonades & green tea just remove your kid/straw when you present it. read more

It's a Panera Bread, which is like every other Panera Bread ever. Oh, you've never been to one, which is why you're looking it up on Yelp dot com? Well, let me tell you about it, then. It's a chain breakfast/lunch place, with bagels, breads, sandwiches, and soups. You can combine these items in the "You Pick 2" menu and get something like half a sandwich and a bread bowl soup, if you'd like. They offer Pepsi(tm) products to quench your thirst - but have teas (hot or iced) as well if you'd rather drink that. Also, there are free lemon wedges for your soda! You can take as many as you'd like, but if you load up your cup with them to bring home for your personal use, you may get an odd look, so do so at your own risk. The outdoor seating area is on the western side of the building, so the morning sun is blocked - making it a nice, shady spot to drink your delicious Pepsi(tm) product. Also of note are the low lamps! You may bonk your head if you're tall and looking at your smartphone, so please pay attention to your immediate surroundings! People will rightly laugh at you if this happens. read more

Oh my!! Best panera I've experienced by far!! Huge place.. Staff top notch and food was unbelievably fresh!!! What can I say I a few words!! Outdoor seating nice inside area, wifi, food comes out super fast, bathrooms were so clean.. Future I will definitely stop here again! And you should too! ;) One thing I noticed is that here there was a few college students with their laptops doing homework which this tells you how peaceful and relaxing this place is. Location of this panera is great and not too far from the highway. read more

I loved my visit to Panera Bread as always. Service was super friendly and fast. I tried out the new ancient-grain-arugula-chicken-salad which was very delicious and hit my taste buds to the fullest. My all time favorite tea of course is the tropical hibiscus unsweetened iced tea. I had to of course also indulge in a cinnamon roll pastry paired with a nice hot decaf coffee and some skim milk. Of course Panera is noted for their fresh baked products, and comfort food products... but they also offer reliable fast (and free) WiFi! So for me this was ideal during a quick lunch break i was able to conduct my business as usual and answer some emails while eating my lunch. Love that they offer a convenient refuge to create a mobile office :) read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon to enjoy lunch With a friend. The parking lot is large because the restaurant located in a strip mall. Of course like every other Panera bread, there is free Wi-Fi. This Penera had a very large outdoor eating area, which is where we chose to sit. I had the squash soup and the Greek salad. Food was delicious and was served fast. But As I was waiting for my food I peaked over the prep station area, there is many breads and open, and sandwich meat sitting on the counter. There was many employees standing around just talking to each other. I wasn't too upset about the bread or meat because my meal contained neither, however for other customers I would of not been happy. Good spot to grab a quick bite but the opened and unattended food might make me think twice if I ever wanted a sandwich here. read more

Oh wow - first time back in a Panera in years . Figured a better road option than most other fast food . I asked for the Mediterranean sandwich and a veggie soup. No bottled options like pellegrino so I stayed w the water in the vehicle . Turned out I got a half sandwich and about a half a cup of soup . The half sandwich had a leaf of lettuce a couple razor thin slices of cukes and three mini wedges if feta . My stomach was growling before during and after . My wife went in after me as she'd been in the phone - I asked her to get me a broccoli Mac n cheese - she came out with a grilled cheese fur herself which was very disappointing- velveeta quality cheese - you ain't getting any smoked Gouda here baby !- The Mac n cheese was like soup and the same fake cheese - broccoli was minimal and tiny - just barely there. What has this place become ? Well, not a place I'd look forward to frequent again . read more

Why do I even EVER think that what I see on TV I will get in the restaurant. Just slap me silly, please !!! When I saw the commercial for the squash soup/flatbread turkey sandwich, well, I just had to have it. I LOVE fall foods. My favorite time of year. The squash soup was to die for,, creamy, squashy and just the right amount of spice. The flatbread sandwich was pretty much flatbread with raw spinach, a few cranberries, and if you looked really hard, you might find a little slice of turkey in there. Don't know where the herb cheese spread was, or the zesty cranberry mostarda (just he few cranberries mentioned earlier). The flatbread was quite large, the filling only filled maybe 1/3 (and I'm being generous) of it, so I literally had to tear off 2/3 of the flatbread so I could get to the sandwich part. Oh, and it says it's slow roasted turkey, NOPE, smoked turkey,, and I hate smoked meats. Very disappointing. Drinks were just as awful if not worse than the sandwich. Every tea they offered was tasteless (yes I tasted them all) and they serve Pepsi products (Horrors!!) so I was screwed on the drinks. So why give them 3 stars,,, the soup,,,they have awesome soups. Learned my lesson, once again, I will return but only for soup, salad and the occasional loaf of bread to take home. read more
