Salad dressings
Yickhong L.

Customer service was very friendly when I got it for dinner a few days ago. They forgot the salad dressing but when I went to ask they gave me a free drink! The Asiago beef bagel stack was very delicious!

Worst strawberry basil lemonade from this location
Veronica P.

Now all the bad ratings make sense. I got my sip club strawberry basil lemonade here today and it's the worst one I've ever had. I think they water down their lemonade because even after I asked for more puree, it still tasted barely sweet. I drank some down and added some lemonade from the drink stand, and it didn't help. Please don't water down your drinks!!! It's so gross. At least the staff were nice!

Spicy Fiesta Chicken sandwich. Pathetic amount of chicken- maybe three slices at most
Madi Y.

Absolutely awful experience today - got two pick twos and the sandwiches each had maybe two or three slices of chicken at the most. Pathetically awful portion sizes. Such a joke, you can't even tell what's between the bread when looking at it. If I didn't have a gift card I would've felt even more ripped off than I feel now.

I love Panera and I loved the salad I ate just before running off to catch my flight at the airport. This review comes with a HUGE "but"... We went to our table and were waiting - we grabbed a table which was empty and mildly ok - the restaurant actually just seemed very dirty. There was a sweet lady who came over and started cleaning our table but honestly it was like she was pushing the dirt around and then she lingered a really long time and kept coming over to the table which was sweet but...I think she had had an accident because she smelled very strongly like feces...I am not kidding. It really turned our stomachs and my sister pretty much grabbed me and wanted to run before the lady came back.

Bag opened by Door Dash driver who took photo of it after tampering with food. DD refused to even report it and told me to contact Panera.

Service at this Panera is literally terrible. It seems those guys behind the counter have never gone through any basic training.

I met a friend for lunch on a Wednesday, having never been before. What a lovely, laid back…read moresetting for a leisurely lunch. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Our server shared some of the popular dishes and we were both in the mood for brunch. How great to find a place that serves brunch dishes during the week! I had the short ribs hash which was tasty, although the eggs I ordered over easy were hard cooked. I'd deduct a half star for that, but no matter. The accompanying challah toast and potatoes made for a full meal and yet..... when I was debating between that and the blueberry pancakes our server helpfully offered that I could get a single pancake, which I promptly added to my order. Talk about an eyes-bigger-than-your-stomach situation! Luckily I am well acquainted with taking home leftovers and that's exactly what I did. My companion got one of the benedicts and he proclaimed it an unmitigated success. I will definitely be back!!!

I changed my mind about 6 times and just decided to keep it light and ordered the sweet cornbread with a side of bacon. Pork belly ribs, and a plethora of other dishes were ordered. Cornbread had corn in it which I appreciated. It was a little dry for my taste but flavorful. The vanilla butter was perfect just wish there was more. Got a side of bacon that was fried too hard and crunchy. Everything else that was ordered in my group looked amazing. Especially the chicken and French toast. Of course I had to sample the chicken and it didn't disappoint! Portions were Huge and the staff was very polite. No fancy drinks but I enjoyed reading the options and would for sure see this as the spot to bring your girls, family or as a date night option. Would go back to try more of what the menu had to offer.

I have been to other NYAJ locations but this was new to me, we picked it because it was central for everyone. Plenty of parking available in the lot, we probably didn't need the reservation either but we made it just in case. We were seated at a round table by the open kitchen in the back of the restaurant. We started with a round of drinks- pineapple painkiller was a hit- and then ordered a variety of entrees (bacon jam burger, pulled pork, steak tips, and pizza). Service was good and friendly although we needed to ask for water and a bread basket refill a couple times. I enjoyed my chicken dumplings and side Caesar, I wasn't super hungry so it was the perfect amount of food. Everyone else seemed to like their dishes too, no leftovers this time around! For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée and chocolate chip cookie explosion. All in all; this was a solid spot - fair price point and we had a pleasant meal- made even better by the company of course. @azfitfoodfun
