    First off the customer service at this location was outstanding and the new menu has many new items will make eating at Panera so much more enjoyable. Several new salads are great and prices are reasonable. Service on the drive thru could be faster.

    Banana oatmeal
    Kevin C.

    Just left this establishment, which I will not return to. I rarely leave reviews and don't care to leave negative ones. After expressing my concern about the oatmeal and its preparation, chunks that had been broken and placed in the cup and dryness of it, which is the second time in a week. The manager "Tim" as he wanted me to know, defended it and made excuses opposed to attempting to rectify it. Let's say as a manager "Tim" is beyond unprofessional making himself a spectacle shouting "My name is Tim" while holding up to bottles of tea. I'd say avoid the new and shining building based on the service, quality and horrible management, he was a poor representation of the brand.

    SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH + GODDESS COBB CHICKEN SALAD + KETTLE CHIPS
    Toya D.

    It's been YEARS since I've had Panera Bread. This was my first visit to this location and the menu had a lot more items than I remember from 10+ years ago. What we had: PEPPERONI FLATBREAD PIZZA - Bland. Oregano, basil and a crispier crust would've set this off. MACARONI AND CHEESE - Decent in a pinch. GODDESS COBB CHICKEN SALAD - Yummy. SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH - Not horrible, but I was hoping for much more flavor. POTATO CHIPS - I'm usually not a fan of kettle chips, but these were tolerable. OATMEAL RAISIN WITH BERRIES COOKIE - Delicious. My favorite part of the meal. CHARGED LEMONADE (2) - We tried all the flavors. Fruity and refreshing. The meal wasn't cheap. Notes: RESTROOM - Gross PARKING - Lot SERVICE - Polite OPTIONS - Plentiful PRICE - Pricey __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

    Spicy Take Chicken Sandwich
    Larry M.

    One of my good followers asked me to check out Panera Bread's new chicken sandwich. I obliged. I hadn't been to this spot in YEARS, so going back was definitely my pleasure. I also wanted to see what that Mac n cheese was hittin on...Let's GO!! . Where I am: @panerabread . Location Reviewed: 2930 Festival Way, Waldorf M.D. . Menu Includes: Artisan Bread's, Breakfast Sandwiches, Soufflés, Parfaits, Fruit Cups, Oatmeal, Coffee, Hot Tea, Hot Chocolate, Pastries, Soups, Bagels, Cream Cheese, Cupcakes, Brownies, Pizza, Salads, Bread Bowls, Craft, & Canned Beverages. . Items Reviewed: Their Signature Take Chicken Sandwich (seared chicken breast with parmesan crisp, emerald greens, & garlic aioli on a brioche bun $9.79 with chips). DECENT. It was good, but lacked flavor, even with the crisp, & aioli. Their Signature Spicy Take Chicken Sandwich (with Buffalo sauce, spicy dill pickle chips, emerald greens on a brioche bun $9.79 with a fruit cup). DELICIOUS!! This sandwich was much better spicy. And their spicy isn't hot. The fruit cup was DELICIOUS as well!! Their Toasted Steak & White Cheddar (grass fed beef with aged white cheddar, pickled red onions, & horseradish sauce on ciabatta $9.79 with the cucumber, tomato salad-DELICIOUS ). LIKE THAT!! Flavorful, & meaty with some kick, and the ciabatta was perfectly toasted!! Their Small Mac n Cheese Bowl (with a French baguette $5.29). DECENT. It didn't taste fresh. Their Frozen Strawberry lemonade ($3.09). LIKE THAT!! Refreshing, flavorful, & tasty!! Their Frozen Caramel Cold Brew ($4.49). STAMP-according to my son (but he's right, I've had it before)!! . Customer Service: Excellent . Online Navigation: Easy . Parking: Plentiful .

    This should be a better pricing on the two for two deals. Doesn't really explain it on the menu not happy with that.

We had dinner there my son and I shared a melt. It was delicious! The Moons Over My Hammy, to be exact! The following evening we traveled home and my husband said he wanted to catch the game with friends. I stayed home and didn't really feel like cooking. While scrolling door dash I saw "The Melt Down" by Dennys. The menu only listed Melts. So I ordered a 3 melts. 1 for myself and 2 kids meal melts. My boys shared one and my daughter had her own. The melts are a nice size! Very filling and also tasty! They came hot and juicy! I highly recommend the Feeling Groovy Melt, so tasty! We had enough to save some for a snack the next day. Popped them in the oven and they were still on point! Great service, fast delivery on door dash's part. The you to the Denny for ensuring our order was correct! This location is always on point. Even when we dine in. Very laid back ambience / vibe.

Between…read moremissing the days or times he was in the shopping center in Waldorf (the one with the Sprouts), long lines, and being out of meat and/or specific toppings, I just kept missing it! But I finally made it! I ordered a chicken Philly with onions, sweet peppers, and mayo. I've tried a Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia several times before and wanted to see how this compared. The portion size was huge. Definitely enough for two meals. The meat was also thoroughly seasoned, but a little dry. Not a lot of cheese, which was disappointing. I was looking for the ooey gooey cheesy cheesesteak that I've seen on tv and food shows so many times before. This wasn't it. But it wasn't bad. Be prepared for long lines and long wait times. I really like the pager system he has, which allows you to wait in your car until your food is ready. He also has a variety of toppings including mayo, mustard, ketchup, onions, sweet peppers, mushrooms and more. I'd go back, but next time I would like to try the water ice. I was torn between giving 3 or 4 stars and decided to go with 4 due to the large portion size and taste of the food. I think it makes a difference if you don't have a reference point for Philly cheesesteaks. Without comparing it to what I tried before it was pretty good.

(Causing the star drop) The meatball was a great flavor. It came with a beautiful red sauce and bread on the side (would've liked for it to have been warm and toasted, with garlic butter). I think it may have been slightly colder than it was hot, but the flavor was still wonderful. Salad was fresh, crunchy and a hefty dinner portion. Perfectly layered, very well done salad. Filling and satisfying

Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place
