All of these reviews are almost never the actual employees. I'm reading these reviews and all of them are complaining about the prices and portioning. If you can't afford to eat at Panera then don't! People act like it's the stores fault when most places are given strict rules on portioning sizes. And to top it all off I saw a review were some lady was complaint about there being a normal amount of bacon on her sandwich. This place is great people are so greedy these days. read more

I'm giving Popeyes two stars not because their food is bad, love the red beans and rice. Love the chicken.. how does Popeyes think that people can afford their food I saw a 16 piece chicken dinner with sides for $50 and that's what' before tax . 12 pieces plus 2 L sides. 39.00 , I'm just gonna quit going to. I can't afford it. read more

Yesterday, I ordered a BLT, light mayonnaise, and avocado on an Asiago bagel. The sandwich had only 4 pieces of bacon on it. To make matters worse, they spread the sandwich across on 2 bagels. Two extremely thin slices of bacon on each bagel. I put everything on one bagel so I could taste meat and tossed the rest. My bread sandwich with 4 tiny slices of bacon cost $13.49. Yep. I could buy a pound or two of bacon for that cost. With my husband's order and our drinks, the cost was over $40. Nope, we won't be back. read more

I am a SIP CLUB member, which is definitely worth it and involves daily, sometimes multiple daily visits. In addition to that, I just want to say that ever interaction with the staff here is very pleasant. Everyone is friendly and kind. I have really enjoyed every bit of food that I have ordered here. Give them a shot! read more

I've been dining in & it's a good experience. Food is consistently good. Friendly service too. I love the Mediterranean veggie sandwich.

Probably the best experience at a Panera I've had in years. Updates menu of sandwiches and soup. The bread was fresh and delicious and the service was fast as well. The price was fair, all fast food is getting expensive, but this was reasonable. I'll go back, my faith has been restored! read more

Panera Bread - Chick Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

I don't know why I continue to come here when they rarely get my order correct. Today, they forgot the sides and added tiny pieces of bacon to my bacon, turkey, bravo. This seems like a small issue but when paying over $19 for soup and a sandwich, I expect it to be decent or at the very least correct. Also, they put ham and turkey on my bacon, turkey bravo. This place is in serious need of management and/or quality. It's absolutely terrible. read more

This Panera is undoubtedly consistent in being horrible. I don't know if they're understaffed or what but nothing gets remembered to be put on the order, it takes 15-20 mins just for someone to come get payment and then the food is not the typical quality. Not that Panera is the end all, be all but it's better than this hot garbage. Go to literally any other location read more

The sip club is a great deal. Most of Paneras food is overpriced for what you get. They raised prices this week. The service is inconsistent. They have some great employees and they have some that aren't; very good. Wednesday night I had a issue with a new cashier. I bought a Chocolate Chip cookie and gave the cashier a $10 bill. She gave me a penny back. I had to remind her that I gave her a $10 bill. It took her 5 minutes to give me my change back. I think she was new and she was not wearing a name tag. The tomato soup is good but way overpriced. Sometimes they will only give you 3 croutons with a cup of soup. read more

As a longtime Panera customer one think I can say is that the quality has changed. I visited the location and the next day I let someone who identified herself as someone in the capacity of a manager on duty/shift leader. I shared with her an issue that I had with my bagel the previous day. As I purchased another do you think she offered a solution? Very disappointed...........I am also disappointed in them changing their rewards program now basically you get Nothing $1 off $2 is NOT a Reward Program Panera do better your food is NOT inexpensive so Reward your Customers! read more

Panera Bread - Greek salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

This place is the worst Panera in the universe. They suck. Run away. Heed this warning. Ordered a you pick two...bowl of chicken noodle soup...with a half Chicken Caesar salad with egg, Gorgonzola and almonds added. A large Diet Pepsi and a cookie. $19.29 for the whole shooting match. To sum up my order...when I opened my bag I learned I paid $19 for a leaking cup of soup and salad I would expect to see in a gas station cooler...no chicken...next to nothing for blue cheese...just crumbs...pecans instead of almonds...for real....all the stuff I paid extra for was either missing, incorrect or so sparse it might as well be left off the salad. The soup was leaking through the bottom of the bag because they didn't put the lid on all the way. The person that made this salad knows full well they wouldn't pay $19 for it...the manager that runs the restaurant wouldn't pay $19 for this...why should I? I guess it is "Screw-what-you-want...It's-you-get-what-you-get" Day at this Panera. Not going back any time soon. read more

LONGEST DRIVE THRU EVER! I ordered ahead with the app, I got a coffee just ONE COFFEE. I went through the drive-through. I was the only one in the drive-through and the app said my order was ready and yet I still waited a whole 10 minutes before I got my order. I am writing this as I'm waiting for my order! This is the absolute worst drive thru to go through. Waste of time read more

What is wrong with this Panera? Seriously. I have eaten at Panera's all over the country. THIS one must have some kind of significant food shortage because what they provide to customers is a joke. We already know that their sandwiches and salads are close to $10. Why are they only giving us $4 worth of food? We also know on a normal salad from Panera (in any other location), 2 salad dressings are NOT enough. Just look at what they gave me. Please see my pictures since they're worth a thousand words (and probably a fraction of the price I paid for my meal). MY ORDER --- SALAD A salad with onions, an egg, feta, and olives. In my order (online) I asked for extra onions because the last time I ordered food, the put three on my salad. THREE. Turs out this time they decided to give me a TINY amount of lettuce, THREE olives, an egg, some cheese, and the "extra" onions. What did I pay for? And the dressing. I get you don't want to fill the dressings to the brim but they're only half filled. Maybe that's to cover the 12 pieces of lettuce they gave me. Look. I can put my entire FIST inside of my salad bowl and there was plenty of room around it. I easily could have fit a squirrel in it and still put the lid back on. This was almost ten bucks. -- Soup They underfilled the soup as horribly as the salad dressings! -- Sandwich (Mediterranean Veggie) I did ask for no Tomatoes. I still should have peppers, onions, salt, pepper, feta, cucumbers, lettuce, hummus. This is what I got. Two onions on each half. Two pieces of "emerald greens" on each half. Two peppers on one of the halves. Some hummus but not much and some cucumbers. It's a $7.29 sandwich. I got $3 worth of ingredients, if that. I'll include THEIR picture of how it should look. This literally happens every time I go. It's unfortunate because it's an easy pick-up during the work day, especially when other coworkers place an order as a group. I should also mention if you put something in the "notes" field, it won't be honored. Good luck getting one more salad dressing or no pickle. I have never had this happen at any other location but this occurs literally every time I've ever gotten food at the Schererville branch. The quality of the food is fine but the portions are a joke. -- read more

Average food with average prices. I don't believe the price you pay for it worth what you get. Recently my family and I went to Panera for breakfast. Their breakfast sandwiches have gotten a lot smaller. I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese on ciabatta but was not served on ciabatta bread. We also ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on brioche that was okay. This is a fast casual place, so if your on the move it's a good place to satisfy your hunger. read more

Definitely have always been a Panera fan and I love their Soufflés. The Spinach Bacon one is my go to for early breakfast or a light lunch always tasty and hits the spot. On the day I visited was around 1130 am Sunday the wait was around 4-5 min in the front to order. On this day I could not give it a higher star rating do to the eating dining room area was not as clean as it should be. Tables were still not wiped and the booth I was at had a tear in the seat ... that should be a priority repair for a restaurant of this size .. other than that good job on the Soufflé .... read more

All I can say is that the coffee here tastes like mud. I try to drink it but always switch to soda. Every time.

So we went to pick up bread for Thanksgiving as we do every year, and we asked to have it sliced for sandwiches. Well this is what they gave us. The guy argued that it was sliced...well yes, it is sliced, however, unless we are making mini sandwiches it does not serve the purpose. He also could not understand why we did not want to pay for this bread...wowza read more

If I could give less I would. Drive thru, woman tells me on the intercom as I pull up it's closed at 8:30, online it says 9:00. I go inside and the whole place is closing up, at 8:30, although dining room is open to 9:00. Rugs are rolled up, bread is bagged up, lights are shut down, employees are mopping and telling me they no longer have soup or Mac and cheese. Workers are rude and they try to charge me extra for bread because they state they need to put it in a bread bowl because they're out of baguettes, even though there is literally bags of bread all bagged up for trash right in front of me. I inquire further only to find out, they're not out of baguettes, they just already bagged them for the trash. Overpriced and rude service. You're open to 9:00, you close down at 9:00, you don't get to close 30 min early to go home. We all want to go home early from work but guess what, that's not how it works. My food was cold too. read more

I love two things at Panera. They are the only two things I will order from this place- they are that good. The cinnamon crunch bagels and their version of the tomato, basil, mozzarella salad. Both are equally delicious in their own right. That bagel is the best thing in the way of bagels I have ever put into my mouth. The crunchy stuff residing on top is freaking amazing. Who invented you cinnamon crunch Panera bagel? Can I hug them? The tomato, basil, mozzarella salad is one of my favorites in the world. Fresh mozzarella is a gift from the gods. Love it! This salad is perfection. I've only experienced better at Italian restaurants, and on occasion this version has been better than theirs. read more

The only reason I come to Panera Bread is because it has been my experience at other stores that they offer good, basic and tasty soup and sandwich options. I don't care about their coffees or teas or pastries. I just want a nice, light and good meal. If that's what brings you to Panera Bread, go to another one elsewhere. I've been twice and decided I'm not going back to this one again. My wife and I get there at 9 pm, the place has maybe 10 people in it .. and we are told they don't have soup X anymore that day. Ok, we're easy, we say, we'll substitute. No, they don't have soup Y either. What? Wife and I look at each other. So we request a THIRD soup Z. "Sorry sir," says the very apologetic Latina, "we are out of that too." I'm kind of amazed. A place that doesn't have 3 advertised soups and wouldn't go out of the way to make any more of it much less accommodate us by maybe an unasked for freebie or something? Just unbelievable. The first unpleasant experience was similar but the wait time was really only the issue when it was moderately busy. We're tired and hungry and didn't feel like hunting anywhere else. But this was so unreal. We ordered substitutes we didn't really want and then ended up waiting a good twenty minutes for them while the manager walked around us and said nothing. I guess she had other things to do. And then my "soup" was barely tepid. What is this place like when it's busy? Don't know but we won't be back to find out. I'm shocked. This was not our experience at other places in this chain. I hope it's a fluke. read more
