Said but in my salad

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!

Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich as my friend recommended. So tasty and lighter in my belly than expected.

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.

Waste of money

YOURE BETTER OFF EATING MCD. Quality of their food is TERRIBLE. $35 for half a grilled cheese & a regular sandwich...?? For both sandwiches to be soggy & BLAND. Never again. Do not eat here. Waste of money & time.

1st time trying Panera Bread ever, it was alright.. only thing I want to complain about is the lack of chicken.. not enough chicken.. but overall the establishment is very clean!

Black iced tea for life.

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!

Fly in Sandwich
Chouette E.

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.

Cinnamon residue on the side of my tomato basil bread and a big chunk on the bacon.

See all

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

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

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

I grew up eating McAlister's and have ordered the same Grilled Chicken Club since the early 2000s…read more It's a basic sandwich, but I seriously can't get enough of it! I could easily replicate the sandwich to save me some money (and a 25 min drive on a good day), but it's the nostalgia and tastiness that keeps me coming back. What it is: The Grilled Chicken Club is a simple, yet refreshing layered sandwich made with slices of wheat bread spread with dijon honey mustard and mayo, then stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and sliced grilled chicken. I can literally recite the exact ingredients from memory. The cookies are delicious, the sweet tea is spot on, and the soups are always solid. A cashier recently recommended me the lasagna soup from my regular chicken tortilla soup, and now I can't stop making my own version at home. If this McAlister's ever closes, I will be devastated!!! Unfortunately, this location does not serve mashed potatoes as a side, which is a bummer!!

Tried again since it had been almost a year…read more Even worse service this go around. A to go order, so i wait at the labeled pick up area. I am neither greeted by the cashier on her phone, nor given any sign that orders are kept elsewhere. After almost 10 minutes, I see someone else go to the counter and ask where their order is. When i walk ip to do the same, we are told that they have a problem with theft so they keep everything behind the counter now. A practical solution a suppose. But a sign slob the aforementioned area, or maybe greeting the waiting customer, would be good additions.

Added ourselves to the waitlist before heading over, rolled in at 9:50 pm fully expecting…read morelate‑night chaos... and instead got seated so fast I barely had time to close the app. Points for efficiency. The staff was on it the whole time--attentive without hovering, and our waitress actually seemed to like her job (rare these days). Place was clean, too, which again... late night. Impressive. We did the Dinner for Two for $40 because I love a deal that doesn't feel like a deal, and this one delivered. Appetizer, two entrées, dessert--no weird upcharges, no "that's not included" surprises. I got the chicken with vegetables and pasta, plus garlic bread and a salad. Everything tasted way better than a $40 bundle has any right to. The other entrée was a burger and fries--simple, hot, and legitimately delicious. For the app, we grabbed the cheese bites (both cheddar and mozzarella) and honestly, I could've eaten a bucket of them. Dessert was a giant slice of cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a display case and tasted even better. Overall? Shockingly great experience. Fast, clean, delicious, and an actually good value. If every late‑night dinner went this smoothly, I'd never cook again.

Was brought here by a friend for my birthday. Id never been here and it was nice. The server was…read morefriendly and polite. The food was really good as well. I got crab cakes. Usually crab cakes from restaurants are too bready and that's not the case here. Its predominantly crab which i enjoyed. They also aren't dry. Id come to this place again in a heartbeat!
