    That's how much chicken salad is on a 1/2 sandwich.  It's literally less than 3 soup spoons full.  Ridiculous.

    The only real positive is the cashier at the front Josey. She was friendly. She gets the stars. I ordered 1/2 Napa chicken salad sandwich and cup of 10 vegetable soup. It took 22 minutes to get buzzed for my meal. The soup was fine. Plain veggie soup...nothing noteworthy. The sandwich was a complete disappointment. There was an unusually large amount of lettuce, two thin tomato slices and a teeny tiny amount of chicken salad. Seriously....the amount of chicken salad filled the small soup spoon 2 & 1/4 times. $5 for that small amount of meat. So disappointing. It was basically a lettuce sandwich. I asked about and was told it's a premeasured scoop for the chicken salad. So they're basically screwing over everyone who orders this 1/2 sandwich. I don't expect a 1/2 pound of meat but enough to spread a layer across the bread at a minimum is expected. Over $12 for a lettuce sandwich, vegetable soup and a tea. Hmmmm...wonder why the Panera in my town closed down. Lucky this one is in a college town....lots of students studying here.

    Horrible Horrible WAIT, what is up with the service and kitchen, please get your act together. Ordered 3 sandwiches to go and waited over 30 minutes. I know that they have a drive thru, hopefully they are faster than what we experienced inside. When we got to the register to order they said there were no tables available and were Turkey and Bacon Sandwich was good size with a generous amount if turkey meat. If I was reviewing this on service it would kill them with a zero, although the food was good and generous. I know that they got a major rush the Sunday before Baylor started and after church so I can give some slack.

    I ordered a grilled cheese and a bread bowl; I received a half cup of soup and a grilled cheese that wasn't even cooked. Absolutely disgusting.

    Greek salad with grilled chicken, a little piece of whole wheat bread and hibiscus iced tea (Agua de Jamaica wanna be)...all was good!

    I have been to several Panera locations and this one has by far the best service and the cleanest dining area. I liked it!

    Management at this panera is brutal. She argues with everyone when she sits in the drive thru window.

    Food is great but they take forever to get you the food. Especially in the drive through... I've waited 10 mins plus multiple times.

    If you're looking for Chinese noodle cuisine in Waco, this is it! I'm coming from California, so…read moreit was nice to have this authentic place. We tried the stir fry sliced noodles, potstickers, pan fried meat buns (bao), soup dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup with hand pulled noodles. I highly recommend the pan fried meat buns which are huge! The fluffiness of the dough is the right texture. I also highly recommend the stir fry sliced noodles. This is was on point for the texture of the noodles and how this dish really should be. This is a signature dish of northern China. The spicy beef noodle soup had the spicy heat but it was not too spicy. This was more like the China version of this soup with beef pieces vs the Taiwanese version with braised beef shank slices. It had the nice addiction of bok choy, which is a staple. But also had sliced carrots and shiitake mushrooms. The hand pulled noodles of this dish was definitely the highlight and were the real deal. Long and great texture. The potstickers had wrappers that were notably thinner and a ton of meat inside. This tasted more like Korean mandu dumplings. The soup dumplings were also bigger than what is typically had in California. The wrappers were not as super thin on these (probably due to the size) and was not as super juicy, but I'm comparing to the pinnacle of soup dumplings from Ding Tai Fung in California. Staff was super friendly and checked on us a couple of times. I'd definitely would come back.

    Okay I came here about 3 months ago and tried this place and thought I ordered the wrong thing I…read morejust didn't like what I ordered. It was the shrimp tempura and the stir fry noodles. Service was great as well and clean place. I decided to try it again and fell in love with their noodle soups, vegtable fried rice and the service was amazing!! Food was out within literally maybe 7 mins!! Staff is very nice food is amazing and reasonable pricing for the amount of food that you get!! IM IN LOVE AND WILL BE BACK!! So excited I came back and got to try it again and loved it because my husband loves this place!!

    Found this gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the menu and reviews. SO glad we…read moredid! It's off the beaten path which is nice because we were able to find parking. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

    I always swing by here for a fantastic burger in the way to Austin. Iove farm to table spots and…read moretheir golden calf burger while coleslaw was divine. I especially enjoyed how the herbed goat cheese mixed with the lemon aioli (aioli is garlic mayo so the garlic is redundant in the menu) and beef patty. That combo was deadly to me, oof Some nice cold coleslaw to compliment the hot burger was a nice mix. I still haven't forgotten how heavy their tomato soup is! So packed with flavor omg. Friendly + quick staff as always and gorgeous wooden seating.
