Panera Bread - Hoping for fresh Hibiscus pomegranate tea! - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Panera is usually a good place to go for a bite to eat. The options are good. Has something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable. Has good seasonal items too. Depending on the time of year. The staff is very friendly. This location has inside or outside seating depending on if you are staying to eat. read more

The service was good and their food is consistent. However, it does feel super cookie cutter and barely seasoned. The Avo toast was exactly what it says, but even the Everything Seasoning couldn't elevate it. The pain au chocolat tasted good but was flat and lacked the delicacy a croissant should offer. read more

I'm honestly shocked at how filthy the bathrooms were at Panera Bread. The urinals looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks -- strong odor, visible stains, and grime buildup that was impossible to ignore. For a place that markets itself as fresh and welcoming, the lack of basic cleanliness was incredibly disappointing. Clean restrooms are the bare minimum for any restaurant, and this location clearly isn't keeping up. Definitely not the experience I expect when dining out. read more

Customer service is always great! They are very fast with getting the orders out whether you're dining in or picking up. I ordered a Ranch Parm BLT salad and found a nut in it! So for my nut allergic people be cautious! Oh and their new strawberry basil lemonade is yummy! read more

I stopped at Panera in San Marcos for a tuna sandwich on my way to Austin from San Antonio. It was delicious! The young man at the window was exceptionally nice. Ordering in the app was simple, my order was correct, and it was ready as promised. I asked for water and I was given a tea that was created by accident for a previous customer. It was a delicious passion papaya green tea. I'll be sure to order it next time when I stop there. read more

Salty chicken noodle soup. Nothing special from the sandwich that goes with the salty soup either. Really disappointed.

4* food again, 5* transaction this time. The marketing worked, I was fed an ad for a new sandwich and here I am ordering it maybe 36 hours later. Tried the Signature Take Chicken Sandwich with automatic side of chips. Don't expect much garlic flavor in your garlic aioli, but the good portion of seasoned white meat chicken wasn't overly dry. Parmesan crisps were a pleasant chewy surprise--between the size of a dime and a nickel, I was grateful for the flavor and some texture. Emerald greens are, as I suspect you yourself already suspected, a pleasingly fresh if unsurprising green leaf lettuce blend. Nice rebrand, though. Best of all, this time I got the 4pk of brioche I ordered. The one on today's chicken sandwich was lovely, this pack is still soft, and best of all they come pre-sliced. Two things I love about their cinnamon roll is the touch of lemon in the icing and the fact they aren't overly greasy/buttery. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you need the sodden center of a hot Cinnabon but today was not that day for me. I like how much of their packaging is paper. The brioche came in plastic and there's a window on my cinnamon roll, but otherwise brown paper products. The chip packet is on me; if I'd been thinking I'd have stopped to select an apple as my side. Delivery was zippy once again. This driver didn't contact me like the previous one with notification of drop off, but my meal was here within 30 minutes of placing my order online. I know that intersection of WW and 35 is seldom pleasant traffic in daylight so respect for that. read more

This was a terrible experience. My daughter ordered a salad with soup. Her salad had slimy brown wilted leaves. My granddaughter had soup and sandwich. Her sandwich had a mold spot on it. It's sad how things have gone down hill since Covid read more

I had a fantastic salad at Panera. It was the strawberry chicken salad with poppyseed dressing. I got the small portion because I ordered the pick 2 with the 1/2 chipotle chicken avocado sandwich. Both were very good, but the salad was such a pleasant surprise for a quick serve restaurant. It was loaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries and mandarin oranges, with just the right amount of chicken and dressing. I opted out of the pecans that normally come with it. I'm always happy to see Diet Dr. Pepper at lunchtime! The only downside was there was no one behind the counter when we got there - so we had to order off a self-serve computer screen. I prefer the personal touch as opposed to my own touch - especially because those screens are germy. read more

Food was good. Service was quick. It's a Panera. I am a big fan of their Mac and cheese and bread bowls

Absolutely horrific customer service, and it starts with management. I use the drive through a couple times a week and get an attitude from the staff when I ask them To enter my phone number for rewards. How about you ask up front when I place my order??? I finally got tired of the attitude so I went in and spoke to a manager. This was not much better... He acted as if he's too busy to talk to a paying customer. HeT me he's going to have a talk with his staff and assures me that it will change..... two weeks later, guess what... Same attitude. If you don't like your job, find something else to do. read more

Panera Bread - Smoky Buffalo Chicken Melt on baguette - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

So I am sitting here sipping on my 3rd iced tea, and I just want to say I really love this Panera Bread location. It was my go-to place in New Mexico to write, and I have not found a Panera I really like in Central Texas yet. Today I came for the first time here to meet my friend for lunch and writing time, and this location is great. The staff are very friendly and fast. The staff person at the counter (I think their name was Olivia with colorful bright hair) was so sweet helping out a pair of older customers with their order and remembered them from a former visit. It made me feel like if I come back here, I will be a recognizable, valued regular customer by the staff. The restaurant is super clean thanks to their staff, and the food is great and comes out fast. They have my favorite french onion soup, which I enjoyed a big bowl of today, and a warm chocolate chip cookie. And did I mention that tasty iced tea?! My only critique is that it is super cold in here. It is Texas summer, so A/C is a necessity but it's chilly for me. Or maybe that was all the iced tea? Thanks, Panera Bread, San Marcos. I'll be back! read more

I've given this place so many opportunities and they let me down every single time. Everything from sloppy carry outs, to crappy food while dining in. read more

I ordered delivery from this location and ordered a Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich among some other items. When I opened up the sandwich, I saw a fly in the food. It was still alive and the sandwich was wrapped really well so it had definitely gotten in the food at the restaurant. I called the restaurant and received a refund for the sandwich. It was a smooth process to get a refund but this should not be happening in the first place. I had to throw away the whole sandwich and find something else to eat. I was very disappointed by this whole experience. read more

I ordered 1/2 green goddess sandwich and cup of soup. I picked it up and it was a whole, huge sandwich. It's then I'm told the green goddess doesn't come in 1/2 orders. :( No wonder it was over $20. Customer service could improve. People behind the counter need to be aware they can be heard very well by customers. read more

The food is always good here but there was a guy working on the afternoon of 10/17 that was excellent. I was so broke and kept downgrading my order and he was so sweet and patient with me. I didn't feel judged or ashamed for scraping by and trying to get something quick to eat on my way home. Thank you! read more

Panera bread for the win! Always very good always fast. The food tastes healthy and is a great fast food option!

Came to this location for breakfast and they were out of stock on the basic items like eggs and oatmeal. We ordered 1 bagel, fruit cup and a breakfast sandwich. When we got the order the fruit cup was still frozen, the sausage on the sandwich was cold and we got 2 bagels. There was a counter employee but she was so focused on her cell phone that she didn't even greet us or made eye contact with us. The staff preparing the food were busy and trying to keep up with the small amount of orders. Panera wake up you're losing business. When we moved to the area 5 years ago it was a busy busy place. read more

I just bought a turkey bravo on my pick two and I got a hair in my food which is very disgusting and on the side on my sandwich there's cinnamon. The manager was nice enough to refund me for the inconvenience but this is just really nasty to me and I really hope they better the quality of the food. I understand that things happen but if they double checked the food before sending it out and the quality that would help the costumers feel like they're actually eating decent sanitary food. read more

Minus one star for nearly every empty booth being trashy. Minus one star for trash and food on the floor throughout the dining area. Minus one star for a couple of young employees cutting up behind the food counter instead of being out cleaning up the dining area. Two stars since Mrs. Texas and I did enjoy our food which was very good. There are NO EXCUSES for having a trashy dining room. read more

i placed an online order this morning. Food was thrown together and didn't get my order correct but that's not really a big deal. What I think the manager should know is how bad the staff in the cook and food prep area mouths were. I couldn't believe how much they were cussing and loud! I get laughter and fun at work but this was over the top. Ice was out in the dining room drink machine and they were irritated when I asked them for ice in the back and they were not busy at all. I just thought management may want to address this. read more

Service was a little slow. Customer service and awareness of customers by employees could use improvement!

The food was delicious, as usual. However, ALL of the tables were dirty. Some of the chairs were sticky. The system was down, so we got no points and could not use our gift card. They should have given a coupon or something for this. read more

First off, the place was filthy dirty!!! They only had one front of the house worker/runner and he was not only bringing some people their food, but he was taking out the trash. Without gloves or washing his hands before handling people's food!!! The bowls were dirty and did I mention how dirty the dining area was?? Oiy. I was glad the food runner ignored when our order came up, as I went and grabbed our food myself. The thing is, the kitchen people just look at you and when you speak to them, they just walk away. If the front of the house is this dirty, how bad is the back?! On the food front, you do not get what you pay for. We will not be back to this location. Ever. read more

Panera Bread - Main dining area - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

I went through the drive through with a friend yesterday. He is a picky eater so i asked if i could pick any of the bowl options, remove the extra toppings, and make it just chicken and rice. i was still charged $13 without the avocado, corn salsa, dressing, etc. And this is what the bowl looked like. Rice wasn't fully covering the bottom and the bowl is simply half full for the price paid. read more

Panera Bread - chicken and rice bowl - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

I've never been to a more poorly run establishment. 6pm on a Thursday night and they were completely OUT OF BREAD. The whole reason people come here, warm bread with a nice soup. All of their shelves were empty. This isn't the fist time having issues with this location. The staff isn't friendly. The restaurant itself is very dirty. I love Panera but this one needs work. It's frustrating the way they make this business look bad. read more

The service at this Panera has never been good, but today it sank to a new low. After ordering my two bagels and a pumpkin muffin, the moves-at-a-glacial-pace counter girl promptly took a tray of bagels from the cooling rack and sliced all 12 of them--hese were not my bagels. Then she rearranged the cooling racks, while I began to steam. No other customers in the restaurant, mind you. I watched to see if she would attempt to assemble my 3-item order, but no. Finally, I went and asked for the manager who made an apology in passing and quickly got my order together. I doubt that I will ever go back, since they seem to have no clue how to find staff that want to work. This lazy counter slug seemed indifferent to filling my order, almost as though it was beneath her. Avoid this train wreck at all costs. read more

they clearly are not making any effort to sanitize. We entered expecting atleast a semblance of cleanliness, considering the nature of our current pandemic.

Panera typically nerve disappointments, but today they did! I ordered curbside and paid for chicken Tortellini with a French baguette but did not receive the baguette! The food was really good as always but I'm still very disappointed and was really looking forward to it! Nonetheless, I've worked in the food industry and understand how easy it is to forget something so small. This place is still great! Don't pass it up! read more

I'm getting new tires next door so I thought I'd wander in and try Panera Bread. Ordered on the kiosk, Greek salad and French onion soup.

I placed my curbside order on the app. When I picked it up the sandwich was wrong so I went back with my receipt to get it fixed. After looking over my sandwich and my receipt to make sure i wasn't lieing about it being wrong, she told me that they'd make me a new one. After I saw her take it to the back and told the other employees to remake it. I then clearly heard a male employee say "Just put spinach on it, don't remake it." I could literally hear the people in the back loudly talking bad about my sandwich order. I have dietary and allergen issues and they were making fun of my order. how mature. read more

I have been a customer of this Panera for about a year. It is usually OK as far as food goes. I usually order and pick up and take home. Two things have been happening lately that have caused me to take this Panera off my list of places to pick up dinner. 1 they constantly mess up orders so if you pick up a to go order be sure to check your order for accuracy before you leave. 2 they are reducing the size of a salad but still charging over $12 for the salad. On last visit, I ordered a full size green goddess salad. I received what looked like a very small salad that was just placed in the regular size plastic container. I showed the salad to a staff member in the kitchen and she said that is was the large salad. I have ordered many of these in the past and never received something like this tiny salad. I am done with San Marcos Panera. There are many other places to eat in San Marcos that are great and don't try to rip off customers. read more
