I wanted to try some Panera Bread in San Antonio during my stay there. The closest location to my hotel was at Lincoln Heights on the northwest corner of Basse and Broadway. It's in the same plaza as H-E-B, which is actually where I was at when I placed my order on the app. It was Sunday evening, and I didn't realize that this Panera Bread closes at 8 PM on Sundays until it was *almost* too late. I wanted to get a You Pick Two, where you can get two menu items, each at a discounted price. I was hoping to get the bowls, but unfortunately, they had sold out of all bowls that day! Understandable, since it was pretty late in the day. However, they still had enough ingredients to make two chicken sandwiches! Sometime last year, Panera Bread rolled out their Signature and Spicy Take sandwiches, which is supposed to be their entry into the Nashville Hot Chicken craze that has been sweeping the nation like crazy. Don't believe me? Just ask Dave :) Anyways, I made my order in the app for a Signature Take Chicken Sandwich as well as a Spicy Take Chicken Sandwich. If I had time, I would have ordered in person for a change, but since I was running out of it, I chose to order online in the event that I'd get turned away. When you order through the app, you get to choose up to five additional customizations, and I usually go for additional veggies whenever I get the chance. After placing my order, I scheduled the last possible pickup time on Sunday, 7:55 PM. I was able to get my shopping done at H-E-B just in time for pickup. Actually, I had an additional two minutes to spare because my order wasn't ready for pickup until 7:57 PM. Not a big deal, but I wouldn't want to be the one to make all the employees stay late, though I later learned from an employee, Steven, that they wouldn't kick you out if you were still inside at closing time. Since I had just purchased perishable food from the most common grocery store in the Lone Star State, I had to take my takeout bag back to my hotel to eat. With a You Pick Two, you get a choice of a baguette, apple, or chips as your side. Since I didn't think I was eating healthy during my trip, I went with the apple, which I saved for the next day. The chicken sandwiches from Panera Bread come in portable boxes that don't open up like a Big Mac box from McDonalds. Rather, there's a seam in the middle of the box that you pull the tab off of, and the box splits open in half to reveal a chicken sandwich. Convenient for eating on the go or even in the car! When I took both boxes out of my takeout bag, there was no way for me to tell which was the Signature Take and which was the Spicy Take. I wish they had indicated this. One of the sandwiches was unfortunately too dry for me. The other sandwich was loads better with significantly more flavor, but it definitely wasn't as good as a traditional Nashville Hot Chicken sando! I do appreciate how the kitchen crew paid close attention to my customization instructions, however, so kudos to them for that. Even the Panera Bread back home struggles to keep up with me lol. While I didn't hate this Panera Bread's chicken sandos, I also didn't love them either. If I lived close by, I would certainly make this my go to Panera Bread, especially since I could go there after shopping at H-E-B. However, I would be more conscientious of the time I go because of how many menu items they were sold out of at the time of my visit.

Yummy Hair ! :)

Yummy hair! :) at least the coffee is good. most was good just the sandwich which had hair in it. long piece by the way.

PSA: you get a free pastry on your birthday! Just have to sign up for the program! Very friendly staff!! I'm a fan of most things at Panera, but the quality is not always consistent and everything is overpriced in my opinion so that's why I gave it only 3 stars. I should try using their rewards more because I'm sure that helps with the cost. My favorite thing to get is the Chicken Frontega Sandwich with their Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I did see they had some new baguette sandwiches that I would like to try!

First time at this location and I had the most disappointing chicken noodle soup ever. The soup was 90 percent broth, 9 percent noodles and 1 percent chicken. I had three tiny crumbles of chicken in the bowl of soup. I also ordered a coffee but the blend I wanted was out, so I had the walnut which wasn't very good.

Celeste M.

Small portions for very high prices! I haven't had Panera in years so I thought I'd give them a try. I had an order delivered. The half sandwich sizes were over $10 so I assumed they were huge they were not. Their turkey melt sandwiches similar to a Schlotzsky's sandwich was about a quarter of the size of a Schlotzsky's sandwich and more expensive than the meal. With half the amount of meat, was tasteless and didn't come with a drink. So uninspired and sad.

What the hell is this? This is not a Carmel cold brew. This is black coffee with half and half. I want a refund.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.
