    "Grilled cheese "
    Anessa K.

    WORST PB EVER !!!! save your money & time ! Go to the one in bay city. Or literally ANY OTHER ONE and you will be much more happy . I have been to this Panera a handful of times... it's close to our house so it was convenient ....they messed up our order EVERY TIME! So the manager always apologized and gave us a free you pick two for the next visit . This visit tonight was the topping on the cake and I declined the free meal ticket for next time and said I will just NEVERR be back to this store again. The staff . RUDE! The food comes out messy and cold . You would think working at Panera wouldn't be rocket science but the staff they have working this one down right can't even do the job. Here are some pictures of our food tonight . Grilled cheese - not grilled AT ALL Mac & cheese - no cheese . It was just noodles . I have been to MANY Panera's and never never had a issues . This one... has dropped off the cliff !!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !

    I got the Summer Corn Chowder.  Disappointed it was all broth. Not Chowder like at all. Barely anything in it.  Ugh!

    My daughter and I had dinner inside. We were so excited to be able to finally eat out after the lock down. Kind of disappointed in the portion size of the chicken teriyaki bowl. Barely any chicken in it. Lots of broccoli though. For the price I expected my moneys worth. My daughter loved her go-to, mac and cheese though. Wish the price point wasn't so high

    I'll admit - I'm a bit biased. Panera holds a warm place in my heart. It takes me back to my college days where my friends and I would meet up for a bread bowl or two. And seeing Saginaw progressing with the Panera's and the Chipotle's of the world is great to see (admittedly they are chains, but it's a start!). The cashiers are friendly and efficient. The bread is fresh, yeasty, and delicious. And that's the basis for most of their dishes. I had the chipotle chicken sandwich - great bread with moist chicken, crispy bacon, and cheddar cheese. The GF had the bread bowl, which was crusty on the outside and perfectly chewy within - she chose broccoli cheddar soup - always a good bet. We couldn't help but get a large order of the mac n cheese - perfectly creamy, the pasta was nicely al dente, and you could get the nuttiness and saltiness of the cheese. For a chain - this mac n cheese rocks. It's Pepsi-town here (I'm an admitted Coke fan) - but that's fine. They've got several brewed teas including Acai and coffee ready as well!

    Chicken Tortellini is the best part

    Worst service I've ever experienced. Manager is so rude and doesn't know how to handle a large group.

    Tried lunch again. Turkey sandwich is overpriced and mostly spinach. Soup is good. I will eat elsewhere next time.

    A true gem in Old Town Saginaw…read more Lonnie's creations are purely from the heart - with a passion for fresh food and creativity, her recipes are divine. You can taste her passion on a plate. She supports local, offers discounts to her friends in the industry, and is a huge advocate for local non-profits. Tonight we attended Grateful Pasta Night, where some of the proceeds benefited the CAN Council. Lonnie and her staff are just the friendliest people who truly care about your experience and your love for their food. With great conversation and an intimate dining area, you'll be treated like family the moment you walk in. Go support local. Don't forget to grab a bottle of her wine to go, you'll love it!

    Hands down the best restaurant in Saginaw. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and was extremely flavorful! The mimosa were delicious and the perfect mixture of champagne and juice. The service was top notch. Our waitress made sure to check on us multiple times during our meal. The live music was a very nice touch. The owner Lonnie was the sweetest. Being from California it's nice to meet someone else who is from California. She gave us some restaurant recommendations to try. And every Wednesday the restaurants profits gets donated to non profit organizations. Make sure to stop by the restaurant. Even if it's a little out of your way it's completely worth it.

    So incredible hot and fresh and delicious every time. I crave Bytes, everyday. Tons of vegan…read moreoptions to build your own. Anyone giving Bytes less than 5 stars is trippin'. I wouldn't eat at their house.

    Don't come here. I…read morethink we've ordered twice, maybe max three times takeout here. Everytime we order food here I just feel massively disappointed. The food is made quickly and it's convenient to order on a busy day but the food is always disappointing. This last time we ordered take out (tonight) we both got build your own bowls. We got very similar bowls that had either chicken Shwarma or chicken 65. Both our bowls we had ordered lentils. We both came home exhausted and started to mix our food up when we realized there were no lentils in our food. We called and the guy insisted they are in there. He said he made it himself. We both literally dug into our entire meals and said there are no lentils. We both took maybe one bite of our meal. The guy said the lentils are really small. I'm sorry..so small I need to bring out a magnifying glass? There are no lentils in the bowl. I told him calmly but firmly we are sitting here and digging in our bowls and there are no lentils. He told me calmy and firmly the lentils are there in the middle. Theyre not. I then asked to speak to a manager but the guy just laughed at us and insisted they are in there and he will give us more next time. I dont appreciate being laughed at. I have a full bowl of food that I have a photo of and will post here. If yall can find the lentils let me know. He then told us to come back and he'll give us a scoop of lentils and im like are you joking!? We are exhausted after a long day and we aren't leaving the house again. At this point I just got mad. When it was clear we weren't getting anywhere with the guy laughing at us on the phone I disconnected. I don't make it a point to call and complain to businesses (i can count maybe like...two other times i have done this in my 30 some years of life) but surely there was a better way to deal with a dissatisfied customer. Two bowls of food that are missing a key ingredient. I won't be coming back and do not encourage other ppl to eat here.
