5 chips in the bag
Joel Z.

Panera is the new chipotle. Ordered a bowl of soup and it was delivered next to a woman's cup of soup. I had the same amount of soup... only difference is the bowl was bigger. Then I go to eat the bag of chips and there's literally 5 chips in the entire bag. What's going on Panera? Clearly you're cutting food costs. Maybe just tell your customers that you've downsized the portions before you make such drastic cuts.

Classic Avo (Cold Toast with a hint of Avocado)
Tom R.

UNDERWHELMING! Is it that difficult to (1). use an appropriate amount of Avocado Spread. (2). Spread it evenly across the cold toast. (3). If you call it Toast, then serve it warm !

Drive-thru menu
Rhonda A.

Good location, and the parking lot was clean and well-maintained. Service via drive-thru was good. I tried the limited-time new Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack (comes with apple slices or potato chips). Excellent sandwich, fresh and delicious.

Blueberry lavender lemonade Kitchen Sink Cookie
Aleah A.

Cost efficient. Ice and water cups always available. Need a place of flavor, meetings, book clubs, homework, studying the bible or just because?Nera is the place for you, yes I had to give Panera a nickname because we're so close. From iced coffees, teas, blueberry lavender, green teas, smoothies and the infamous bacon chicken ranch, kitchen sink cookie and the cinnamon bagel Nera has my dollars!

Clean the tea machine it's disgusting!
Dee P.

Dirty tea machine and it tastes worse. The manager walked right past this dirty tea machine and if you're missing this what else are you missing!

Classic Avo
Howard W.

I learn my lesson from this visit. The worst Panera order I've ever received. How in the world can you mess up avocado toast? Let me tell you how. You slice up unripe avocado, put it on cold bread, don't add seasoning (they must have been out), then throw it in a large carry out container to slide around. Thought they would redeem themselves with the four cheese soufflé, alas, cold in the middle. Do better, Panera.

Examples in case some random person argues differently.
John G.

All I have to say is pay attention to your food when you get it. Found 2 black hairs in our sandwich, luckily before we started eating but what else could be wrong?! Scottsdale/indian school location, maybe double check your people there and how much they care about their product. Never going back.

Had a very nice meal at Beginners Luck in Old Town Scottsdale. I have been looking for a solid go…read moreto place in Old Town for a while. Still mourning the loss of Bandera. Beginners Luck is just that kind of place. Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the Crab and Shrimp Roll with fries. It was excellent and quite a portion. More than enough for a second meal. Loaded with shrimp and crab. I wasn't expecting a crab and shrimp salad but rather a mix of the two warm and buttered in the roll but it was very tasty as served. The only part that was a little off was the burned in brand on the roll the cold salad was served in. The charred flavor with the salad was a little off putting. I just pinched off the burnt bits from the bread. Excellent fries! Service 4/5 - I sat at the bar. Bartender was nice, offered regular menu and restaurant week menu as well. Meal was brought by manager, fries were still piping hot. Bartender and manager checked back to make sure meal was to my liking. Ambiance 5/5 - Cute place. A lot of nice outdoor seating and seating inside but a bit less. All in all a great place with a nice complement of offerings! I will return. If only they had a fly through with rotisserie chicken to go, I would never think of Bandera again.

Cruising along historic Old Town and it was hot, we were tired and needed a reprieve from the heat…read moreso we ducked in to Beginner's Luck. We were seated inside quickly - it was a slow afternoon. Signs on the door let you know they have A/C however they left the front door propped open so it wasn't that cool inside. We each had a cocktail and they were pretty good - him a Painkiller on Main (he said it was good) and I had Ranch Water Paloma but asked them to mix tequila and mezcal rather than have me choose one over the other. Quite tasty! We just did apps: Fondue Blanc served with linguisa, pretzel bread and roasted cauliflower. The fondue was especially delicious with the cauliflower. We also had pimento cheese served with potato chips and chicharrones. I've only ever tasted grocery store made pimento cheese and was not a fan but when I tasted the pimento cheese at Beginner's Luck, I instantly became enamored. Totally enjoyed it with the chips. I recommend stopping in for a bite when wandering Old Town.

Olive & Ivy looked promising, but the actual experience was even better than I imagined. First of all, this is a fantastic place with a great atmosphere. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or dining by yourself, it's a place where you can feel comfortable and enjoy a great meal. I was seated at the very nice and comfortable bar area, where the bartenders were fantastic, attentive, and ready to accommodate any request. The little bruschettas were a great way to start the meal. I followed them with a salad, they even accommodated a half portion for me. Then I finished with the short rib. Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. I honestly expected this place to be more expensive, but the prices were extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. You can definitely expect to see me back here the next time I'm in town! Thank you for providing such a great experience. Keep up the excellent work!

I was in town for business and my colleague has a gluten-free allergy so we picked the spot because…read morethey offer a lot of gluten-free options. I will say I think we ordered too much food We had the burrata and the hummus to start. I had the barbecue ranch salad with chicken and she had the rustic bowl with steak. Everything was really good. The hummus was phenomenal. I wish the chicken in my salad was hot versus cold, but I would definitely come back here. Service was great really cool vibes inside they do offer outdoor seating as well.

I am so baffled this has 3.9 stars. I will legit never come back here!!…read more The service is DIABOLICALLY LONG I cannot BELIEVE how long we waited for 1 coffee and 2 entrees to-go when the restaurant was EMPTY between 9:30-10:30. I am actually so upset. We ordered at 10:09 and recieved the cappuccino about 10:15. We waited and waited, watching the 3 workers scramble for something to do. Cleaning up the bar area, scraping bird poop outside, count the leaves on the trees. Idk. I understand they're not the ones responsible for the slow kitchen. We waited 30+ minutes for our food and finally at 10:41 am we got it. Wanna know what we ordered? Avocado toast and a steak melt. One of the simplest things on the menu. And remember there were maybe 2-3 solo customers doing computer work or at the bar, who had already ordered and were just enjoying the day. The only other customers vying for an order from the kitchen was a family with some small children. I cannot fathom coming here at a time that is more busy and having to compete with multiple other parties to get my food the same business day. Do not come here if you're really hungry. We ordered at 9:15ish to eat there and even that felt like it took long, when there was even less than 3 customers there. Thank you for the cold cappuccino and your lack of urgency for customers. I'm so glad we tipped y'all twice to do the bare minimum and serve us food whenever you felt like it.

We feel the Old Town location's food, service and prices are superior to the previous DC Ranch location. We came in on a Wednesday night. I was a little surprised we and 2 other people were the only people in the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, has a nice bar and a nice outdoor patio if weather permits. We arrived and were sat immediately. Shawn our server was very friendly and pleasant. We were never left waiting for service. The menu is pretty vast with many GF and V options. For starters, we ordered the KOREAN FRIED CAULIFLOWER $21 Radish sprouts, rainbow quinoa, snap peas, toasted sesame seeds, korean hot pepper sauce. Wish it was a little more crispy but full of flavor. We also ordered the PEAR + GORGONZOLA FLATBREAD $22. Vintage white cheddar, crisp fried sage, sage pesto. This is a thin crust pizza. The flavors worked well together. For dinner, I ordered the MARKET STREET SHORT RIB MINI TACOS $24 off the starter menus. Cojita, caramelized onions, cilantro crema, micro greens, spicy roasted corn and avocado salsa and black bean salsa. I was surprised at how much meat was in this taco. Super tasty. Well worth the price. My husband ordered the SHORT RIB ENCHILADAS $29. Ancho pasilla sauce, manchego, served with napa cabbage slaw, topped with avocado + cilantro. He said these were delicious. I'm sure we will be back.

A HIDDEN GEM IN A SEA OF OVERPRICED MEDIOCRITY…read more I genuinely do not understand why more people aren't talking about Karsen's Grill. Everything I've eaten here has been fantastic. The salt and pepper wings are TO DIE FOR. The burgers are excellent, the fries are awesome, the onion rings are phenomenal, and the cocktails never disappoint. Seriously, I have yet to order something here that hasn't made me think, Why isn't everyone eating here? And then there's the service. I've had the same servers every time I've visited, and they're consistently wonderful: friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely good at what they do. They know the menu, they can make recommendations, and they make you want to come back. Imagine that! This is a small, unassuming place with about six tables and a bar. It's not trying to be the hottest reservation in Scottsdale. There's no pretentious bullshit, no need to drop $200 on a steak just to tell people you ate somewhere expensive, and no relying on trendy vibes to distract you from mediocre food. And THAT is what I love about this place. Scottsdale has no shortage of restaurants where the prices are astronomical, the atmosphere is carefully curated for Instagram, and somehow the actual food ends up being the least memorable part of the experience. People will wait forever for an overhyped restaurant, pay a fortune for a meal that's just okay, and convince themselves it was amazing because the place was popular. Meanwhile, Karsen's Grill is over here serving food that is genuinely, legitimately GOOD. Give me great food, a well-made cocktail, and staff who actually care about the experience over another overpriced, overhyped dining destination any day of the week. Karsen's is the kind of place you stumble across and immediately want to keep coming back to. If you actually care about what's on your plate more than how much it costs or how impressive the restaurant looks on social media, go to Karsen's Grill. Your wallet will thank you, your taste buds will thank you, and you'll wonder why the hell you ever bothered with some of the other places in Scottsdale. Just please don't let the secret out too much. I still want to get a table.

Karsen's Grill is located in Old Town Scottsdale and has become a go-to spot for my lunch rotation…read more I have been at least 2 times now, and each time has been great. The staff is friendly and quick to get the food out. It's a really casual spot with a small bar and bar height tables. They do offer outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. The last time I came in, I tried the Sunburst Chicken Bites because I wasn't starving but still wanted sustenance. It was okay, but pretty dry. The sauce helped but it tasted like it was from an old batch as it wasn't hot, either. I'll still come back because it's within walking distance from work and they have a bunch of other things on their menu I want to try. Prices are a bit above average but the portions are pretty generous. Parking in Old Town can be hit ir miss but there's plenty to go around. Check out Karsen's if you're in the area!

Stopped by for the first time here at Montauk while visiting Arizona. Very casual atmosphere with…read moreplenty of seating indoors and great service. The waitress checked in with us multiple times which I always appreciate. They also have outdoor seating for those who prefer that! I ordered the mac n cheese with steak and it was decent. Nothing out of this world, but good! Portions are also decent, no complaints there. If you plan on going in the evening, consider making a reservation if you want to play safe, especially on a Friday or weekend night. Overall, would try again.

Friends had been to the Montauk before and invited us to meet them for a weekend lunch…read more I made a reservation, so we could be sure to sit inside, since it is already well over 100 degrees outside. The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.
