Who mistakes nuts for bacon?!??!
Mel Z.

I am absolutely dumbfounded by the mistake Panera made on our order today. We ordered the Bacon Mac and Cheese. When we opened the cup, we found not bacon, but NUTS on the Mac and cheese. I don't know who can mix up bacon and nuts, but this was a huge mistake. Along with that, our order was all mixed up (chips instead of bread, etc.). I like Panera, but would NOT recommend this location. Photo included

This location gets hyper-busy, and it has drivethru service also. Very ambitious plan by Panera, might have bit-off more than could chew. This is in Rockwall, Texas I-30 shopping district, and right on south side of I-30 at Ridge Road. Rockwall is a nice town, and a very safe place to stop. However, the wave of relocations to Texas is flooding all the streets. Sounds like NASCAR with drivers trying to not be late. Panera has a drive thru, you must enter near the front right side, wrap around to the back. Parking lot then, is very busy right next to front door entrance! Once inside, a customer touchscreen order & pay kiosk is along on a counter. You can bypass this by walking to the bakery counter where staff can take your order. Ahh, the bakery goods, everything looks so good! How can anybody rush through this decision? Pecan Braid pastry, and Oatmeal Raisin cookie with Berries were my choices! The "Avocado, Egg Whites, Cheese & Spinach on Oat Bagel flat" & hot coffee were my breakfast. Everything was good, but the eggs were overcooked, left on grill too long. BUT, I ate it ALL, whoosh! The End. But, there's more! The ambitious menu here for lunch/dinner has many great deli sandwiches, salads, bowl dishes, soups, hot teas, iced teas, fresh fruit drinks, and smoothies too! I need to boomerang back here, get lunch.

Creamy tomato soup
Lizeth S.

We did a drive through order. The Drive through cashier was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Our order was very simple but it was complete. The wait at the drive though could use some improvement as it took 10 minutes and we only had one car in front of us. Creamy tomato soup served with a half A French baguette and four very crunchy (hard) croutons. The soup was delicious.

They were very fast and helpful. I was nervous to come here because of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised! It was yummy and our food was out in about 6 minutes!

Green Goddess Cobb; needed more meat and tomatos (and/or olives).

Interesting alternative to Jason's Deli for a healthy lunch. Order at the counter, but be prepared to choose from a list of confusing names - with no descriptions or photos. This is the single biggest barrier to more stars; food quality supports 4-5 stars, but who knows what you are ordering?? After ordering, fix your drink (good variety of soft drinks, teas, and juices). The server will bring the food to your table; an unexpected bonus at this price point. Our food was excellent - if suprising (inadequate descriptions from staff).

They forgot to put the chicken and avocado on a chicken avalado sandwich. How do you forget the 2 main ingredients.

45 minute wait for them to mess up my order again. Idk why I keep giving this place a chance. They forgot to put the chicken and avocado on a chicken avalado sandwich. How do you forget the 2 main ingredients. This location messes up my order every time I've been here. I'm not going to this location anymore.

Salad lovers... let me introduce you to your new favorite salad. The green goddess cobb salad is to die for! I could eat it everyday, I stop here for lunch 3 times a week. It's healthy and fast, which is hard to find. They have a rapid pick up option on the app, it makes it possible to get a good quick meal for a busy person like me.

Burned bread, burned cheese. Nasty.
Jason A.

This place is disgusting. I've been three times since it's opened, and it's consistently bad. You can see here, the bread is burned, the cheese is browned and it's not melted together at all. Everything in our order was poorly made, and it's been this way each time. Don't waste your time at this one. Panera's elsewhere have been good, but Rockwall's is just not good.

Visited this restaurant one cold afternoon nothing better than a cup of soup, service was good, they have lots of options. Ordered a tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. My food was ready pretty fast since I took my order to go I opened my to go order until I got home, to my surprise the soup was there and a piece of bread but my grilled cheese sandwich was no where to be found I was very disappointed since their customer service was great too bad they don't pay attention to their to go orders.

BLT  on white miche, add onion, and tomato soup.

Delicious food. Most of the time service is good and the ambiance is casual. There are times where you'll have to wait a bit when it's busy in the kitchen. But restaurant is fairly clean and if you're looking to work here, it's a friendly environment.

See all

For dinner you can't go wrong getting the 10 oz filet medium rare. It always comes out cooked to perfection. On this occasion we stopped by on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon around 2:30 and were delighted to sit out on the patio and choose from their brunch menu. A Fabled Burger and Turkey-Chicken Club later, we were full and happy.

What a restaurant serves as both an eatery and a bookstore - I'm in!…read more Fable and Fire is a beautiful venue! The owners personally created/decorated it and it's the most inventing space I have been to that serves two purposes - eating and reading. Walls of books greet you as you enter, along with big wooden tables and chairs with a desert bar set up. Wonderful! And when you go into the restaurant, there comfy books lined up along the wall, more table and chairs in the middle, and a touch of home with couches and table in front of the bar. And I don't want o miss out in the description of the restrooms - because they are something to see. A sliding door for the restrooms are books that have been arranged so you feel like you're in a somewhat magical feeder with. Oils arranged in fascinating shapes. They also have a separate room for events and meets - and wow! It's gorgeous too! It truly made me want to host an event here just to experience this room. The food is delicious and the waitstaff are great at making you feel comfortable and welcome. This might have been my first time in this restaurant, but it's just the start of many visits here.

What I loved most about this place was how local it was. People were dropping in, and everyone knew each other. We loved it. I highly recommend getting a reservation. We came in and sat at the bar, which wasn't bad, but just a heads up! Bartender/server Russo - AMAZING! This space isn't extremely spacious. They do have an outside, but it was really cold. We started off with a wine flight. Such a lovely poor for a flight, and the price was only 18. My man and I actually shared it. Will easily get this every time. For food - you can't go wrong with anything. I mean anything. We were blown away. We started off with the seared tuna, the sauce was so tasty we dipped our toasted focaccia bread in it. Perfect combination. We couldn't choose between the two pastas so we got both. The lamb gnocchi and ricotta lemon ravioli everything was so perfect. Both great portions, both extremely flavorful. You have to get these. We ended the night with a desert and again, blown away. We got the chocolate mousse and cleaned the bowl. It had little bites of vanilla cake in it, so good. This place is fantastic. We are easily coming back, we need to try the sandwiches!

This place was so quaint and amazing. The hummus appetizer is huge and very delicious. I had the…read moreCuban sandwich. It was also really big (took half home). Service was perfect, not over priced and worth the ambiance and moment! I will definitely come back here next time I'm in the area!
