    First time dining at this location. I don't plan to return. I arrived about 7 pm and the parking lot was nearly empty. This is usually telling but I gave it a shot anyway. They had no salad options. I went with the Autumn Squash soup and a water. The water wasn't available at the fountain drink station but had to be passed to the employee over the counter to get water from the back. There was a huge puddle of water in front of the fountain station and while there was a sign, it didn't appear there was much effort put into cleaning it up. The food came with small, plastic spoons with no apologies for not having proper spoons. The employees are not very pleasant and seem unmotivated. The bathroom and dining area could've used some attention as well as they weren't the cleanest. I can understand if they were busy and the place was dirty, but it was empty and there was no effort to clean the place. I saw at least 3 employees there during my visit. The ONLY highlight was the delicious soup and baguette. I happen to LOVE Autumn specialties hence the 2 stars. Although, they are probably more deserving of one.

    Greek salad

    This is the dirtiest Panera I have ever been in. I eat at them at least 2 time a week. This is my 2 nd stop here on my way to Ga and the first time there was a man sitting with a drink at a table with his head down who look like a worker with paint and they went over and kicked him out. There was NO one in the store but like 3 people. He was not hurting anyone. Just not called for. The girl at the register was nice. Her name way Joy. After I paid for the order the people that made it said "we are out of Cesar dressing is there another dressing you want??? Really. Give me a Greek salad. You see how it came and it was a whole. The tomato was not even sliced.

    Excellent customer service and engagement. We eat out alot and rarely experience this high quality service. It was refreshing to see the store manager, Kalay, walking around engaging with all customers and staff. Davonte took our order and treated us like family. The food was great!

    Chicken Noodle Soup
    Amanda B.

    I've ordered from here a few times, usually using the drive through, but sometimes using the Panera app for delivery. (Using their app you gain rewards and can make customizations to your order.) On many occasions I've been told they don't have certain bakery items or breads, even though it's not even noon. Once I ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup and it wasn't completely full and mostly broth. The soup should have been put in a cup size and charged me accordingly. I'm also confused on the whole vs half sandwich size. Sometimes when I order a whole sandwich I end up getting 4 slices of bread, the equivalent of two whole sandwiches, and other times I get one whole sandwich. When I get a half sandwich I'll get the equivalent of a whole sandwich and other times I'll get a sandwich made with one slice of bread cut in half. Consistency here with sandwich sizes needs to be addressed. (I have this problem at other locations too.) The reason for the one star is the constant inconsistency with item sizes, item availability at early time of day, and the lack of response from managers or Panera corporate when I make my issues known.

    What even are standards?

    Disgusting Food and Horrendous Restaurant I hope Panera sees how abominable the state of this establishment is. In a location located not far away from a major interstate, you would think they would try to have higher standards. The staff was rude and conveniently unavailable. The food, other than the bread, was horrendous. The avocado on my chipotle sandwich wasn't even mashed. It was an entire avocado just in my sandwich. And just look at the state of their restaurant! It was filthy and disastrously vandalized. Panera used to be a quick place to snag a quality meal. Because of this location, I will think twice before ever revisiting on of their establishments anywhere, ever again.

    The inside is very nice . The whole ordering process and waiting for food is very awkward. For the price of the food which is priced you'd expect at a steakhouse they should be bring the food to you . The menu makes no since . They have a pick 2 meal which you would think it mean value for your money . Not even close it's the same cost you just get half of everything . We got a lemonade a smoothie and two half sandwich's one with half soup the other with half salad and it was $40 which is insane and then they expect you to tip ??? For what I had to order and get my own food . The food was refreshing and good but was not at all fulfilling and we left hungry . If the prices were decent it wouldn't be a bad place to go and get Something different that you don't get anywhere else . The whole fast food trying to be a restaurant that cost as much as outback or longhorn isn't working .

    Smoke Pit-Salisbury location, I had an "Awesome" Sunday meal and the service from Katy was…read moreexcellent! The restaurant was super clean as were the restrooms. I opted for the burnt ends sandwich on Texas toast ( recommended by our server Katy instead of the bun) which was a great choice. The meat was super tender, great smoke and kissed with a little bbq and those luscious caramelized onions. I decided on side of collard greens and mac 'n cheese. Hubby had the Texas Trinity which consisted of ribs, sliced brisket and sliced jalapeño cheese sausage link served with the best hush puppies and he decided on sides of collard greens and sweet potato casserole. Note, sorry the brisket was almost devoured before I could take the pic. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The brisket and jalapeño cheese sausage was the best he's had since leaving Texas in 2006; so good in fact that he ordered 2 additional links to go! With bellies full, took the delicious peach cobbler to-go...YUM! Another thing that will bring me back besides the food, I love that they employee our young people to give them real life work experience. #Teens Need Jobs! And it's a very family friendly environment.

So good we needed a box. 3 meats tray with 3 sides. Perfectly chopped and flavorful barbque no sauce needed but a top of red slaw and sauce is how we like it. Pork Spare Ribs were delish with smoke flavor ordered dry and put our own sauce. Brisket delicious with full flavor. We chose kickin collard greens and baked beans, got a sample of the red slaw and then asked for a full side as we use a topper too! Cornbread was like a sweet cake. All was so delish that we couldn't finish and boxed it up and topped the sides for another meal later today. Thanks to all on Yelp who gave great reviews and I can see why! Yum!

Would highly recommend you guys check it out!

    Driving thru North Carolina on my way to Raleigh, my friend and I stopped off and spent the night…read morein Salisbury. Grabbed dinner at Recipe. Not very busy but cozy and excellent service. Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.
