I placed a order that totaled 55.92. I am posted a picture is a sandwich that cost 10.79. It is nothing but bread, two Pickles and condiments. The quality of food at this location is inconsistent and mostly terrible. I am also attaching a salad dressing container that was given for a Large Fuji apple salad that cost 11.29. I keep trying to give them more chances but I am finally giving up...I will never eat at this location again! read more

I ordered a half turkey avocado BLT and the Broccoli Cheddar Soup. The sandwich was disgusting. They forgot the avocado, not that it would make any difference. It had three very small slivers of over cooked, dry chicken with two slices of cold, greasy bacon, that look like it was taken right out of the fridge and put on my sandwich. I couldn't even eat the sandwich. It was that bad. The soup was edible, but would've been better if it was warmed before that gave it to me. Good grief! I would not recommend eating here. read more

never on time with the online orders fr. multiple times now it's been where i wish they would just lock in and get it done so i can get back to class but it seems consistently this has become a real issue ngl. read more

Wow- I have been to many Panera breads, but this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. Dirty dishes on 80% of the tables, no one has come by to clean them and it's been over 10 minutes. My latte was lukewarm and my bacon on the egg dish I ordered was not warmed up. It still had congealed bacon fat on it. When I walked it back they said they would remake it, but instead they just put the dish into the microwave, which heated up the avocado that was on it and made it a greasy mess. I had to just ask for a refund and leave... the manager said sorry and gave me the refund, but never asked what they could have done better... read more

Bread was fine, soup was fine, sandwich was ok. Customer service normal, nothing to write about about. I don't expect above and beyond from an employee who's employer likely provides the bare minimum. What pisses me off is the codes on the bathroom. It's obviously to keep out the "riff raff", which is fine. Can't blame them. But I know somewhere, the bean counters also factored that their customers would be less likely to use the restroom as a result, thereby reducing cleaning needs and increasing the bottom line ever so little. Bean counters gotta count. I'd say keep Pandora's box closed but that's what they did with their restroom. The food is so damn expensive and it's all so corporate. read more

Why on earth can't you be more consistent?!? I want to like you, I really do, but work with me here. I'm giving you 2 stars, not because of this review, but rather because a couple times I've had good experiences. Yesterday, you failed me, and deserve no stars.... Yesterday, I ordered a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich. I was the only person in the drive thru and it still took me 15 minutes to get a sandwich. By the time I left, the drive-thru line was full. That wasn't even the worst part, the sandwich was.... as you can see, in the pic, my bacon and egg sandwich was really lacking on any resemblance of bacon or egg. If I had wanted a bread sandwich, I would have just ordered bread! It was probably microwave bacon at best, and the sandwich had a chemical taste to it. One bite and I had to toss my $4.39 sandwich in the trash. read more

Panera Bread - Lame! I guess I should of just ordered a bread sandwich...... - Salad Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

Who does not have their soups ready when they open! Got here at 852am and they open at 6am who does that.

Brown lettuce was just the beginning. They didn't give me Caesar dressing. My friend got two southwest dressings so I had to use that as we were already back on the road. Caesar has feta instead of parm. Super disappointed. Last time I will stop here. read more

I haven't yelped in quite a while but today I received customer service that was above and beyond. Val was working and showed me the screen ordering, made suggestions, was very friendly and I could tell she loved not just her job but people too! I've never been here but I will be back because of employees like Val. Food was great as well. read more

My sister brought Panera bread home for me and my mom. I immediately had gas and then followed by diarrhea. Come to find out so did my mom and my sister friend. We all had soup. Might be food poisoning, it's too early to tell I think. But when you look up Panera bread food poisoning it's all over. Don't eat here. So sick of disgusting American food it's ridiculous how they try to poison us with all these ingredients! I thought this place was a healthier option on eating out. Plus it's expensive. read more

The happy middle between a full-service restaurant and fast food, Panera is a great solution for clean ingredients and comfort. My go-to is the "Pick 2". Half a sandwich and a bowl of soup is the food version of a hug from Mom. The sandwiches can occasionally be a bit sparse - the last time I ordered a chicken salad sandwich, the bread to filling proportions were off. That being said, the taste of both soup and sandwich was excellent. The staff is very courteous, often clearing your dishes, though this is not expected. The interior ambiance is nice - including a gas fireplace. Outdoor seating is available. Food arrives quickly, but there is often a wait to order. My visits, there has only been one register operator. Adding a second would improve the ordering experience. One last thing: Don't forget to add a pastry to your meal for only .99! I recommend the cinnamon crunch or orange scones. read more

Don't waste your time going to Panera. They don't staff well, maybe they don't pay fairly. No matter, this is strike three Panera. I was really looking forward to my steak sandwich but got home and found out instead I had something resembling a sandwich but was really poorly toasted bread with mac and cheese inside. It was awful. Tasteless, overpriced and poorly prepared to boot. So long $35 bucks and two hours I'll never get back. read more

We've been here just twice, but I am basing this review on my latest trip, as the first one was too long ago. I do remember from that first trip that I tried the Mac & Cheese and it was ok. Anyway, this review is for their breakfast. Went in around 8, it was pretty dead. They had lots of pastries, bagels and breads out that looked delicious. My friend and I both got the avocado, egg white and spinach sandwich, mine I added sausage ($1.10 tacked on). I also got a bottle of orange juice (11.5 ounces for $2.99, not worth it). Altogether we waited maybe 5 minutes for our food. During that time, the staff told us we could sample any of the six lemonades they had by the drink dispensers, which was very nice of them. After getting my sandwich and opening it, I realized there are some details missing from Panera's menu board. Apparently this particular sandwich comes with tomato and cheese on top, which was not on the menu. I don't like tomato and my friend doesn't like cheese on her food. So that was disappointing for both of us. Both sandwiches came with a couple slices of avocado, I would have liked more. My friend also ordered her maple sauce on the side, and it wasn't included at all. The flavor was fine, nothing special. I liked the bread. But it wasn't any amazing sandwich by any means. I'd like to go back to try other things, breakfast and otherwise. But so far, the flavor of Panera is just so-so while their offerings are diverse, if a bit expensive. read more

I went in at 830, ordered a small mac and cheese and a seasonal soup. Took 30 minutes..... Mac and cheese portion was about 1/2 cup for $6..... It tasted good, but I was sadly disappointed...... The store was almost empty...... read more

First, two bags of chips were missing from our order. Next, I had old, nasty, wilted arugula on my sandwich and the final straw was watching my husband in total disgust as he pulled a long hair out of his mouth after taking a bite of his sandwich. We both stopped eating, packed up everything and tried numerous times to call the Springfield Panera. After many failed attempts of dialing and hearing no ringing, I grabbed our food and drove to Springfield to return the food they had spoiled and complain to the manager. The order was refunded and an apology issued. That was it. I told the manager we had tried calling the restaurant and he said their phones had been down since October.

Food is good, but waaaay too expensive for what it is. The last few times I have went, they have been out of ingredients for the sandwich I get, out of soup, or sides. Tonight, they didn't have baguette or chips for a side, and they could only offer an apple. They didn't have the bread for my sandwich and had to substitute another kind. This was told to us after we paid, and we were not offered a discount or any resolution. read more

I tried Panera Bread near Gateway after a stopping at the new gym at the mall. Having never been there before, it was helpful that they had a couple small menus before you enter as well as the big board up front. Like myself, there were many other people who also stopped and stared at the board and the pamphlets. There really is only a small selection of items -- mostly salads and soups. I was there with a friend of mine as well and she was having a lot of difficulty choosing items from the menu. There are a lot of different things added to each of their food, so finding something you can eat, especially if you have any dietary concerns, can be troublesome. The women working the counter were very friendly (and patient) as people stood and stared at the board. I ended up getting the BBQ Chicken salad (1/2 size) and Turkey Chili (cup). My friend got tomato soup and a regular salad. It was pretty spendy. It was almost $18 for these items. The BBQ chicken salad was really a very small skinless chicken breast with a little BBQ sauce on it. The rest of the salad was basic and I would get more out of a bag of salad at the store. Unfortunately, while tasting pretty good, not really work the $6 or so. The Turkey Chili wasn't bad, but nothing I would come back for specifically. It was also over $5 for a cup of it. My friend's salad was basic but good. The tomato soup had a LOT of oregano and I didn't care much for it. My friend didn't really either. We got our food to go and it was ready in about 5 minutes, so we were on our way home with it quickly. The French bread that came with the order was pretty good, too. Would I come back to Panera Bread? I think so. But I would have to really be in the mood for soup and salad and have some extra money burning a hole in my pocket. For the price, the value just isn't there. The service and speed of the food is fantastic and the food itself isn't bad, it is just expensive and really not anything I couldn't make myself in 15 minutes or less. read more

Being that this is the only Panera in the area I understand it commonly being very busy but they still should be aware of the cleanliness of this dining room. As we ate we were basically grinding other people's food crumbs into the carpet with our feet. They changed from buzzers where you pick up your food at the window to numbers where they bring your food to your table. This would be great if they could figure out how to do it. They brought someone else's order to our table first and then realized that it wasn't ours took it away and brought it straight to the correct people. Then when our order came out it was not our full order. Eventually we got everything. The water glasses are a joke. I basically want to get a tray full of them just for me because each glass is about one sip. We enjoy going to Panera for all of the options but even when I order a pick two meal I'm never full. read more

Wish I could give negative stars. Ordered a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich. Got home and no turkey on it and two scrawny pieces of bacon. Called in and person said she would put me through to manager. Waited ten minutes for manager to pick up. I gave up and called again- 8 times I called and no one picked up. Don't bother going here. read more

It happened again! It took almost half an hour to get our small order in the drive through. There were only two other cars in front of us. It made us late for our movie and we missed the beginning of it. Nothing has improved! read more

Sad to see that the prices have gone up so much in the past few years. Definitely not the deal it used to be. The seasonal squash soup and turkey sandwich on cranberry bread were delicious, but definitely not worth the price. Given the limited choices in the area similar to Panera, guess this is as good as it gets. Sad. read more

The worst Panara Bread I've ever been to. Orders are often wrong (especially at the drive thru). I went back through the drive thru when they forgot an item. After waiting in the drive thru line for another 10-15 minutes, I was never given an apology. More than half the time they are out of bagels, which I mostly came here for. The last time I went here I was told they didn't have the right bread for my sandwich, which I was give an alternative. I was fine with that, but once I got to the window they said they didn't have bread to go with my fiancées soup and the baguette that goes with the sandwich. Why didn't you tell me you were out of mostly everything I was ordering? This was at 6pm... Incredibly bad management. Also, gone through Panera several times receiving half filled soups. Not very professional. read more

Seriously guys? I feel like I was just robbed! Ordered delivery. They threw MAYBE a serving spoon of old/luke warm pasta in a ridiculously oversized bowl, no butter for my side (which I specifically requested) and nothing to eat it with!Seriously probably 3 medium sized bites worth of pasta. I paid $13! I have a very small window in my day for lunch. What a waste of time and money! I've always had a good experience dining in but this makes me wanna never go back! read more

Panera Bread is good to try once or twice, as a meetup with friends, but I would try something else before I ever decided to go here, again. The food is... okay. It's pretty pricey in comparison to other places, but it is good enough to eat. I like their salads, since they're decently sized. But, the half-sandwiches just don't feel worth the money, especially when you consider that they don't seem to have just regular ole plain white or wheat bread. Everything seems to be all specialty-like. As someone with an eating disorder, who has trouble getting used to "new" things, it was hard to find something I could really eat without being iffy about it. Their desserts are delicious, though. I would recommend trying those while you're there. The staff is nice and willing to answer questions. The drink selection and seating is overall decent, too. It's a good place to eat sometimes, but definitely not my main choice. read more

I've eaten here twice in the past month. Both times I've got a real upset stomach afterward. I hope it's just a coincidence but because it happened twice makes me wonder. Normally I like the sandwiches and soups here in fact I still do. I just don't like the idea that I've been ill twice after eating here. read more

Ordered 20 minutes ahead of time, took over a half and hour after arriving, slowest service in town. Don't recommend to anyone

I really love the manager, and the people who work here! The portions are too small, especailly their bowls of soup, and the food is too expensive! And I wish that yelp could allow me to give the people who work here 10 stars! Very kind, friendly, and when I complained to the manager about the small portion of soup, he brought me more. That isn't the only thing he brought, he brought a lovely smile, and that made my day! Thank you! That helped me through my day--- I got 2 job interviews today!!! The friendliness of staff, and all of their smiles, helped me hang in there!!!! read more

Multiple wrong orders at this location at drive through. Make sure to check your food is right. Usually the people are really pleasant. Theres typically a couple of super nice outgoing guys that works the window. I made a specification to not put cheese on my salad and ordered a soup. Agains, today I had a wrong order happen. This was super annoying because I'm on a limited lunch break, got to my destination to eat, and saw I had Mac and cheese. The smell of cheese makes me nauseous. I drove all the way back, and on the intercom told her what happened. She goes monotone... sorry... we'll get you another one. I get to the counter and she stares at me without saying anything and hands me the bag. I go here's The mac and cheese. She goes oh no we cannot accept that. I just drove away Uhm I'm not asking you to resell it? I'm asking you to throw it away. Also a greeting is nice, but an apology in person for having someone drive all the way back and using their lunch time due to your mistake is EVEN better. This place is convenient but for the overpriced soup and salad, and terrible service I experienced today - no thank you! read more

I love the food here, but they never have things in stock. Nearly every time I go something I want is unavailable. I tried to get a bowl of soup and a bagel last night and they let me get to the window before mentioning they didn't have the bagel or the baguette for my soup. I left without getting anything. Today I tried again and this time they didn't have soup. Are you kidding me? I really think they need either another location or they need to up production. I drive from across town each time and have left twice with nothing. I'm honestly not sure if I will return after repeatedly being disappointed by the availability of menu items. And again I go in, no bread available despite it being the title of the store. I've also had another few experience of not receiving full amounts, spoons, the right soup, and many experiences of them not having bread. Honestly, this location is terrible. read more

I don't complain often but lunch there yesterday but I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the 1/2 sand. It was Turkey and Bacon. First- For the good- the staff were very nice. My poor sandwich was rather sad. The turkey was so cold there was ice crystals in the turkey. The cheese was maybe 2"by 3" and had no taste. The bacon seemed like the microwave ready processed kind you find in cafeteria. Everything was just sad looking and no taste. Not what I was expecting especially for the high price for this 1/2 sandwich. read more

The sandwich was below average. I ate less than half. The soup was average. The cookie was too stale to eat. The only thing good was the soft drink.

I have never had any problem with the food at any Panera. It's fresher than most nationwide fast food (ish) restaurants, and they actually have some creative--and even healthy--options. The reason I have to give this particular Panera only three stars is this: well over a month ago, we ordered delivery via their website. We've ordered breakfast from them this way several times, and we love the convenience. This last time, unfortunately, they forgot one of the three items, and the receipt that they staple to the bag that has a place for the employees to check off each item in the bag had not been marked. This was annoying, but I understand, everybody is understaffed and overworked in the food service business right now. So I tried to call to let them know about the missing item so we would not be charged for it. The phone rang and rang and rang, and finally the line just cut off. Next, I tried to contact their corporate office. I was told that since this particular Panera is a franchise, corporate could not help me directly, but they would pass my message on to our Springfield Panera. I waited a few weeks, but never heard back. So again, I tried to call our local Panera. Same problem, no one ever answered. I have never been able to get through to them, and have never heard back from corporate or from them. In the grand scheme of things, the missing item cost us no more than $6.00. We can afford it. But the complete lack of both accountability as well as any way to actually get through to them is just not okay. Which is unfortunate; we were probably getting delivery from them about 3 times a month, getting take out another 2 times a month and always tipped very well. But now, I doubt we will every buy anything from them again. To the local management: answer the dang phone! read more
