    Cream of broccoli was good but the price $8.98 for I guess they're large. This is their large. I think it's absolutely disgusting to charge almost 9 dollars for a cup of that size. The soup is good, but are you kidding me? I have a few friends that don't go there no more because even their sandwiches overpriced and no meat inside the bread.

    Those who know me KNOW I love me some Panera Bread. Having previously worked for a company that used to order from them for every lunch meeting or gathering, I fell in love with their delicious bread, sandwiches, soups, cookies and pastries. Despite eating from Panera 9999965357 times, I never got sick of them. Until recently. My husband and I stopped into the Shelton location this past Saturday around 10:30 AM before a trip to NYC. It wasn't that busy, so we figured we could get in, order, sit down for a quick bite (rather than dirtying up the car while trying to eat and navigate traffic) and get back on the road. Easy peasy, right? Uh, not quite. A couple in front of us was having trouble ordering because everything they wanted seemed to be unavailable at this Panera location. They were out of a particular sandwich the wife wanted. The wife wanted a blueberry smoothie or drink and they only had strawberries. Stuff like that. That should've been a major sign to us, but we brushed it off. Well, I brushed it off. When it's our turn to order, we ask for two sandwiches: a Bacon, Over Easy Egg and Cheese and a Sausage, Over Easy Egg and Cheese, both on the advertised Brioche bun. The cashier informs us they are "out" of Brioche buns. Of course they are. We opt for Whole Grain White bread instead as well as one Everything bagel with cream cheese to split. The bagel is given to us by the cashier who rang us up after a few minutes, in a paper bag, toasted and dry with a small cup of cream cheese and a knife for us to use. Maybe they don't put the cream cheese on because of COVID-19? Or because customers can decide how much or little cream cheese they want on their bagel? In any event, we didn't care much about that and were happy to slather it on ourselves. We stand around waiting for our food but don't see anyone working on our order. We decide to grab a table close to the food pick-up area to wait. I figured since we have to wait, we might as well eat the bagel. It's good. 10 or 15 minutes go by and a line of hungry folks have joined us in our quest to receive our elusive food. The other customers look annoyed. I see many employees shuffling back and forth in the food prep area but it didn't appear anyone was actually doing anything. Some legit looked like they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. Then, a glimmer of hope: I hear a guy ask how eggs are supposed to be made for an order. I look up and see another guy mouth him something, hopefully the right answer, because I just KNEW it was our order they were talking about. I thought to myself, doesn't the actual monitor they all have access to tell them what to make? I'm annoyed at this point and go up and tell one of the young ladies that we will now take our order to go as we have to get back on the road and are now running late. She says it should only be a "few more minutes." I walk away. I decide to hit up the bathroom knowing we'll be getting back on the road (Pro Tip: Please don't use the women's bathroom; it is/was SO gross) and when I come out, my husband is back in the car. He tells me the same girl I spoke with gave him our sandwiches and she half apologized for the delay but didn't really seem that genuine. But okay, crisis averted, we now have our delicious breakfast sandwiches, right? Wrong! As long as it took to get our food (over 20 minutes!!!), I was expecting our food to remotely resemble what we ordered. Not. Even. Close. Take a look at my pictures and tell me if those two dry sandwiches are worth over $12 with tax. I was bewildered and flabbergasted. And, after all of that egg talk earlier, we get our sandwiches with eggs that are WELL over hard, not over easy. How hard is it to just make a very simple order? The sole star in this review is only for the freshness of the bread we ate; I'm honest and will say the bagel was fresh and tasty, as was the other bread, despite being part of two Sahara Desert-dry sandwiches. This Panera utterly and completely missed the mark and needs to get it together. And quickly.

    The caesar salad was delicious. Although I prefer it with fresh parmesan cheese slices. That being said one of the top 10 caesar salads I've had. Thanks to my boy David T. for the recommendation!

    First time for me to experience Panera's, but you know what they say "first impression is a lasting impression." at first glance Pandera looks like the Starbucks of Bread, same type of interior, concept but for carbs instead of caffeine. I ordered the new Cuban Chicken on focaccia, to find out there is unfortunately NO! Cuban chicken right now. But there is Frontega Chicken also on focaccia... after we sit down and wait for our orders to be brought out we hear a loud yell that there is NO! Frontega chicken. Okay!? What then to order...? Let's go for the Sierra Turkey, and for the inconvenience we get a refund... loved it! The breads are of great quality and the Sierra Turkey was alright. It did not really satisfy me, cause I was planning to eat the Cuban Chicken in the first place, but the Sierra became my third choice. Another sad thing was that one of the drinks we had to wait for, had a big long blond hair in it... NOT GOOD! Leaving the establishment I noticed that the floor was dirty and not cleaned for a while... so my first expression was not a good one I have to confess. Maybe next time it will be better, cause I will be back to try the Cuban Chicken on a focaccia...

    Hmm.  Long wait and they couldn't even make me a full smoothie.  Think I'll avoid this location.

    While in the area for a computer repair, I figured it was a perfect day for some ramen…read more I stumbled upon Terayama and the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen caught my eye as I haven't seen this offered on a menu anywhere around here. The broth was creamy and smooth like a typical Tonkotsu Broth but the added spiciness really removes or supresses the comforting part of this dish. I mean this in the best way possible, it was delicious and now I will be adding spice to my Tokotsu Ramen that I order from a place much more local to me. The broth also was not too salty which was sometimes an issue with me ordering Tonkotsu Ramen in the past. The pork slices were nice and thin and had a nice texture to it as well. The noodles were not overcooked either. A very well done Ramen dish. I decided to order the Butabura Donburi to go. This consisted of a pork rice bowl with caramelized soy sauce, scallion, tamago and sesame seeds. The pork was cooked perfectly and this dish was full of savory flavors. The rice was also "QQ" as some asians would say. For translation just think of QQ for rice the same as Al Dente for pasta. Learning new things every day, will probably be my last time saying QQ but this rice was QQ, straight out of a Zojirushi Rice Cooker. Anyways, before I get too deep into things only Asians would understand or care about, Terayama was quite the perfect stop for me in my long drive to get my computer fixed. All their food was done right and it was just the perfect place to stop in to get welcomed by knowledgeable and comforting staff on a cold day. Quite the hole in the wall but I'm glad I found it. Until the next time Terayama. Keep it QQ.

    Some of the nicest staff around! I love ramen and was excited to find out I won't have to travel…read moretoo far for ramen now. Was skeptical as many local restaurants do the bare minimum to satisfy local palates, straying from tradition. But not here! Broth is a key indicator of good ramen and this has a few good layers of flavor. The Thai tea wasn't too sweet. Worth checking out, I look forward to coming back when that ramen craving hits.
