Coffee cup and receipt ready for me.  Merced Panera requires customers to ask for cup.
Michael F.

I made a special trip from Merced Panera to test Turlock Panera who had my order ready on counter with receipt. Merced Manager Meranda Dupree cites theft from homeless require customer to ask for empty coffee cup instead of pickup from counter. Request District and Area Managers discuss relocate Merced Panera to safer cleaner Merced Promenade Shopping Center. My compliments to Joey at Turlock Panera.

Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad, Toasted Italiano Sandwich, with an apple, a brownie, and tea

I have always had a good experience here. Their interior is open and inviting, and the food is made hot to order. I tried something different from my regular this time and I really enjoyed it! I appreciate how quick they are too. Always a pleasure

I ordered a salad but while eating I noticed I hair in my food, I thought maybe it was mine but I realized I had my hair up and it couldn't be mine. I went to tell someone but while I told them I realized NO one was wearing hair nets or anything while making the food. I stood there for about 5 mins then finally told them something, but when I told them they just said they'll remake it. I waited for my food when came back to get it and they just said thank you to me like if nothing happened?

A grilled cheese sandwich.

Since it was rainy and cold I wanted a comfort food for the long drive I was about to take. I ordered the two pick half Grilled cheese and cup of soup to go. What a disappointment when I bit into my grilled cheese and saw that I had bitten into a plain bread sandwich with melted cheese. It was the most boring sandwich I ever tasted. I guess only the cheese was grilled because the bread was not!

Cinnamon Crunch Bagel toasted & sliced with honey walnut cream cheese picked up fresh via rapid pick-up

I like Panera in general but my poor bagel D; I've gotten the cinnamon crunch bagel toasted & sliced from this location a couple times before without issue but I don't even know how this one could be served to a customer. It's beyond toasty lol

I like Panera, I'm a loyal customer, I just moved to this area. Needed to order some lunch because I nearly sliced my finger off trying to make my own. I got a sandwich, some soup, and a salad. And used door dash came out to $70. I take out my sandwich and i knew it was made with no care in the world. It's so sloppy and not full. This is a tomato and mozzarella sandwich and there's a lettuce to bread ratio. It should be cheese to bread. It's not even basil it's lettuce and if I wanted more lettuce I would have ordered another salad. I'm actually shocked. Supper disappointed. There was no butter in the bag for the bread baguettes. The manager was just like oh sorry you feel that way. The lady needs to understand customer service. Like let me help you out and maybe try saying "oh that will be taken care of, it won't happen again, I'll check with my team. Because if your teams fault. No wonder the place doesn't make good sandwiches. They have a leader that doesn't care or doesn't know how to lead or handle situations or whoever is in charge of food isn't paying attention or doesn't care about other people food. Tried telling me about a refund. Clearly my wallet isn't the problem if I spent a bogus amount of money on a small bowl of soup and soggy bread.

Receipt and order number

Ordered from Panera from their App to pick up. Bank charge went through. Get there and waited over 30 minutes. Went in and this Panera in Turlock didn't have my order or any paper trail for my order. Showed them the email confirming and charge. Couldn't get the food I ordered NOR a refund for $13.35. Waited on hold for Panera customer service for over an hour. No one picked up. I suppose this is a way to make money. Charge customers then not have any way of coming through with my order or refund. Very very poor customer service.

Another road trip south, another stop at Panera. This time was an improvement over my last visit, especially considering the regulations currently required because of COVID-19. It was a fine experience overall culminating in some fresh, delicious food. My hungry crew all ordered salads. Two of those salads had heavy customizations. All the orders came out as requested and all the salads were delicious. I'm not usually a fan of asian-style salads but I ordered Panera's just to break my comfort zone. The sauces weren't overly sweet and the salad was chock full of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and tasty chicken chunks. This Panera has a number of advantages over the many eateries in its vicinity. It's one of the closest to the freeway (making for easy access), it's relatively healthy and it's open when many surrounding businesses are not during coronavirus. Consider all that if you're like us and need a convenient food stopover.

My another fav- Broccoli cheddar mac and cheese

I went to lunch with friends and had a really enjoyable experience. The service was attentive and…read morefriendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The interior has a nice, relaxed vibe with comfortable seating and a clean, inviting atmosphere. We started with the calamari and edamame. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The edamame was lightly salted and had a wonderful flavor that made it easy to snack on while we waited for our main courses. I had the Korean stone bowl and was very impressed. The beef was tender, flavorful, and slightly sweet, and everything was served piping hot in a beautifully presented bowl. My husband had the salmon bowl and thought it was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of flavors. Another friend tried the coconut shrimp curry and said it was delicious, with a rich and slightly sweet coconut sauce that paired well with the shrimp. Overall, we were very happy with the food and the experience. The restaurant felt clean and well-maintained, and the staff made sure our meal went smoothly. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.

My 4th time here and it's just never been a place that I thought was so good, I need to come back…read more Came for a christmas party. The holiday drinks were just posted on social media two days prior and they were already unable to make one of the drinks. I've had the peppermint martini a few years ago, so went back to that. It was good, but I remember it being a little better before. Also, the presentation of drinks seems to change based on who is making them. Sometimes it's rimmed with peppermint, mine was on the side of the glass. Same issue as last time. The peppermint was too heavy and sliding down the glass, making the stem sticky when picked up. We shared several different sushi rolls. The rice seemed way over done. It was one mushy texture and the spicy tuna lacked spice. I ordered the salmon for my entree. Salmon was well cooked with a glaze and served with broccoli. First bite of broccoli tasted burnt, but luckily the rest was fine. We ordered all the desserts to sample and the best was the flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake with the bananas. Our server was super sweet and always made sure we had what we needed.

Had such a great experience at Vito's! Everything was spot on…read more We started with the scampette as an appetizer and it was excellent, delicious. Bread excellent. I ordered the ribeye with peppercorn sauce and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful. Two others ordered the special which was a ribeye with shrimp, they said it was great! For dessert, we tried the chocolate chip cookie cake (literally fantastic) and the molten cake, which was warm, decadent, and the perfect ending to the meal. Huge thank you to Abbie and Andrew for making the experience so great--attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Portions were generous, food quality was top-notch, and the whole night felt like such a treat. Will definitely be back!

We originally planned to have Mexican food but I remembered I had a gift card to Vito's. Italian food is always a good idea! We arrived and noticed how busy the restaurant was, which always makes me happy to see. The hostess informed us it would be about a five minute wait which we thought was very nice considering how busy they were. She seated us at a small table for two and brought us water right away. Within a few minutes yummy warm bread was delivered to our table. I can never turn down warm freshly baked bread! Our server greeted us and took our orders. She gave good suggestions when we asked for assistance about the offerings which was appreciated. Our food was delivered nice and hot. We could tell she brought it as soon as it was plated. Both of our meals were very good! My husband ordered the lasagna and I ordered the shrimp scampi. The scampi sauce had a wonderful lemon garlic flavor that complemented the shrimp very nicely. We really enjoyed the ambience and good food at Vito's. We will definitely return soon!
