Panera is a chain bakery and restaurant that uses refined ingredient combinations in a cozy atmosphere, with counter service. I had the Chipotle Chicken and Avocado Melt. On focaccia bread they placed pulled pieces of chicken breast with melted mild cheddar cheese, avocado and chiptole aioli. The sandwich tastes light and is one of Panera's lower calorie choices. I also enjoyed the aioli, which brings the sandwich a zesty flavor. read more

Probably the nicest Panera that I have been in. We were greeted warmly, food is good. This place is spacious and very clean. We will be back. read more

I love going here and I love the food! However, the wait in the drive thru is ridiculous!

Used the drive thru to get a salad to take to the park. It was ready quickly and the server was charming. I ordered the strawberry poppy seed salad and it was delicious and only 5 WW points for the whole salad including dressing. Bread was included, I forgot to ask for an apple instead. read more

Might go back. Food - as usual the bread bowls and soup are delicious. Bread tasted fresh, soup was hot. Service - they messed up the order (forgot a side). I noticed it happened to a few others while I was waiting. The cost was wayy too much and you do not get big servings. Bread and soup are cheap to make, a single bowl shouldnt be $10! Ambiance - contemporary, and people were using it as a coffee shop (working on computers). If you are willing to pay too much for simple (but good food), then go. read more

The Draft location is a exceptional For a corporate "cookie cutter" chain. The staff has always been super. The missing star is because of price and quality of sides. The sandwiches are great and fresh, they should put as much effort into soups. They do have the best PB&J sandwich anywhere read more

We were served cold soups and when we requested for it to be warmed up they directed us to the microwave they have outside. They knew about the soups being cold. Wondering why one would even serve cold soup. They gave us chips when we had asked for a baguette. When we asked for an apple instead they denied it. Asked for the manager and he just came out to say sorry. Should the staff even take an order for soup or baguee if they don't have it ? Where is the customer service? Shouldn't the manager refund me with some courtesy. read more

I really like our Waynesboro chain. The restaurant itself is really clean, and staff are super friendly. There's an outside area that's covered which is nice and is dog friendly, they have a huge water bowl which is nice. My favorite meal currently is the chipotle chicken avocado melt which is delicious. I also like how there's a drive thru now because if I need to eat on the go I can put in a mobile order and pick it up in the drive thru. read more

Sandwiches at the Waynesboro chain. Are delicious! Fresh. Staff are great super friendly.

Having food delivered to you than less than 45 minutes, not taking credit cards, but asked for your credit card number and they'll charge you later because their Internet was down, having ac working would of absolutely be a wonderful thing have $114 bill that they had to hand write but yet would not accept a cash offer of $100.00and when my family and myself which I was on vacation to hang around to the Internet got fixed, and the manager of the Place said what about the taxes really read more

We came here over the weekend for a family get together. If you weren't aware this location offers a large room to rent for free-making this a great spot to come for work meetings, group functions, or small hobby clubs. The store was clean and food/drink was consistent with all Paneras. One lady with sparkles in her hair was friendly and kind but the other workers seemed gruff and not wanting to be there which would be my only negative on our visit. read more

On Sunday, 4/13 we went to Panera-Waynesboro for dinner. Arrived about 7:15 PM. I ordered a pick two with tomato soup. Was told they were out of tomato soup...okay choose French onion. My husband ordered the bacon chicken ranch sandwich and was told they were out of the bread that goes on that. They had one bread available for sandwich so he said okay. I get being out of things if we were there at closing but this was still prime dinner time. read more

UPDATE: Called the restraunt to let them know what happened. Spoke with the manager about the thai salad and how it didn't have red peppers, edamamae, or carrots in it and she corrected me - said it didn't have carrots in it. Clearly pictured below is the ingredients listed in the thai salad. It has carrots in it. I don't see how this was relevant other than attempting to make me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. She was really pleasant otherwise on the phone and they did offer me a free salad . But this is not the point. It's about the fact that everytime I go the salad is never made correctly or they forget something in the order. I won't be going back sadly :( ----- I don't understand why everytime I go here they mess up something in my order. I always try and be understanding that it sometimes happens but now it almost feels like I'm living in the truman show when I go here. Everytime I order a thai salad they almost always give me an Asian salad makeup with no edamamae, carrots, or peppers . At one point I thought I had the salads wrong and asked the employee what came in it. Before that they forgot both my sides of baguettes and chips. Panera isn't cheap and usually when I'm ordering it's for lunch so I don't have the option to turn around and go back. It's so infuriating at this point. I'm terribly sorry for making such a bad review but I feel I had no choice. I just want to be able to pick up a good salad for work. :( read more

Ordered to-go and ended up eating in the restaurant. Roasted Turkey Avocado BLT was a treat. The bitter lettuce was fresh and a nice complement to the rich avocado and bacon. Corn Chowder is on the summer menu and a crave food for me. Lots of flavor without being milky in any way. The frozen lemonade was ready for us at the pickup station and the second drink cup was empty. Staff said I could make my own. So, I mixed it up - unsweetened tea and hibiscus ginger tea together. I enjoyed my hybrid tea but the frozen strawberry lemonade was quite awful. No strawberry flavor and the lemon flavor was 'powdery'. Poured it out and got a palatable soft drink from the beverage bar. And the frozen drink cup was quite small. Everything was tasty - except for the lemonade. Requested 'extra' utensils and only received just enough for the cups of soup. read more

I went to Panera last week and there was good and bad. The good was the Napa chicken salad sandwich. I've ordered it several times and I noticed the chicken salad was less and less and didn't cover the bread, but this time the chicken salad covered the bread and the sandwich was very good. The best one I r had in a long time. I also ordered the new buffalo chicken melt. Horrible. Looked nothing like the picture online and was barely any chicken on it , no onions, and had no flavor. It was very disappointing. I know stuff does not always look like the picture but this was terrible. Will I eat there again? Yes because I am a fan of the bagels and every restaurant can have a bad day, but they need to do better. read more

Thought they were a breast cancer advocate the way they did special treats last year for breast cancer awareness month. I'm a breast cancer advocate and distribute materials and add treats along as a positive little goodies. I pass these bags out all over they are from VA breast care foundation so they educate and promote breast care, resources if diagnosed and then again bags vary what goodie items are inside. The girl at the drive thru literally acted disgusted over me offering her a bag and then said as if she was repulsed no to me asking her to give it to another employee. It was so rude and to treat a nice kind act as if I offended her and was handing her a pile of dog poop was so unnecessary and rude . When I said it was just a kind gesture and someone not wanting to see another women possibly have breast health issues she literally the girl who accepts cash and ppls credit and debit cards said she doesn't like to touch things other people have touched ....great you work with the public and your job is to touch things they have all day . I'm normally shown appreciation but here the attitude has really rubbed me the wrong way and I will NOT ever visit this store again. It's really one thing to kindly pass but seriously the way she acted was beyond dramatic and too much and so I just will not bring my $25 and change for 2 sandwiches and a brownie. I also wanted an apple but was never asked the option, I normally get a meal so when I wasn't asked I didn't know you got a side. So to me the worker can't do her job correctly and her acting so repulsed by people and the fact she hates to touch anything including money and forms of payment not a place I need to go read more

Panera Bread - Example of breast cancer awareness bags - Salad Near Me - Waynesboro, Virginia

Review of my visit on 2/17/2022. First time visiting this Panera Bread location. Largest one I've been to, appeared to be seating all over the place! Plenty of parking. Clean and organized establishment. Employee taking my order was patient and appeared happy to be there. Quiet for a Thursday evening. Order was correct. Chicken salad sandwich and broccoli macaroni and cheese were top-notch! Only cons was that my order took too long and I was never offered alternates for chips and the baguette. A generous 4-stars only for a first time visit. If I visit Waynesboro, VA again, and need my Panera Bread fix, I'm grabbing some food straightaway! read more

Panera is nice little stop for a quick lunch or bite while your out shopping or just need a snack. There's plenty of parking and it's located nicely on the west side of town. The prices are little high for the quantity of food you get, but I must say everything is delicious. Waynesboro's Panera also has a drive thru option which I frequent often. read more

Great food and great service! Thank you Cory and the rest of the Saturday evening team.

On our way home from Shenandoah we were looking for a place to eat. I wanted to try somewhere fun but we had the pooch, so we settled for what we knew. We can always sit outside at any Panera and this one was no exception. I hate to say it but I always kind of get the same thing when I come here. Half salad and half sandwich. And its always the Greek salad and usually one of the "healthier" sandwiches. And today was no exception, the basic deli Turkey. Anything you get from here is going to be delicious. Ive tried a lot of things and they have all been great. I kind of have to wonder why you are even reading reviews on Panera unless its to see how clean this place is? And again, its Panera. They have standards. So, was the food good? Yes-always. Was the place clean- Yes, always. Lots of outside seating, there wasn't a wait when we were there on a Saturday. Nuff said. Good place to go if your a traveler on your way our to the mountains or coming home from a day of hiking. read more

This location is HUGE. We stopped by last weekend while driving to Roanoke from Virginia Beach. I wanted something healthy so we kept an eye out for Panera. I knew there was one near here off the interstate so we took the exit and ended up here. I have never seen a Panera with a drive through before. It is what we used some I had my dog in the car and it was too hot to leave him (English bulldog). I ran inside to use the bathroom and saw that this place has like three separate seating areas for eating which are separated into different dining rooms. My Cobb salad was good (minus the chicken which I got on the side and gave to my boyfriend) and I got the summer corn soup. Mmm. Very polite drive through attendant who was patient and helpful in answering my picky boyfriends questions about the menu. read more

Panera Bread - To go Cobb salad. Chicken on the side. - Salad Near Me - Waynesboro, Virginia

The new good offerings suck. Their old menu was so much better. They've lost us as regular customers.

Best cashier attitude in the last 12 Paneras! Personable and quick! Guess what? She was the owner! Kudos to this Panera. Wish I could clone her! Order was right. Food was fresh. Place was clean. Sandwich was big. Right off the highway. 5 star! read more

This is the LARGEST Panera I've ever seen, and it has a DRIVE THRU! A drive thru! Seriously - maybe this happens more out in the midwest where things are a little more open, but back east, that's unheard of. We rolled in for a quick lunch to break up a long drive across Virginia. They staff here was incredibly friendly (especially to the four year old) and service was fast. The quality here was on point, and we all left happy and stuffed. If you haven't tried the mac & cheese, you should - pretty sure it has some kind of narcotic in that cheese sauce that keeps you coming back for it time and again. read more

I love Panara Bread no matter the location but they're a little too expensive to make a habit of visiting. The foods always delicious & the atmosphere is pleasing. I'd go more if I could afford to. read more

Food took way too long to arrive for such an empty place, and when it finally did, I received the wrong order. Staff were super nice though and the ambience was like any other panera. read more

Stopped by while in town visiting family. My sister and I decided on the "pick 2". I got the sandwich with chicken and avocado and the 1/2 southwest salad. It was delicious and I couldn't finish it all. It was about $12 per person with a bottled water. Her green goddess salad and frotega (?) Sandwich were very good. They both came with an apple. $29 for two people. The interior was very nice and so we're the staff members. There's a variety of desserts but we didn't have any. read more

Worse service , I've ever had . The young man working the register was rude seems like he didn't even want to work . Every time we ask for a food item he got a snoty attitude and was we don't have anymore . I got tired of this and just walked out . read more

This place is huge! I stopped by for breakfast and I'm putting this on my list of places to stop by if I"m in the area. They even had a small children's area inside. I feel like the food meets the Panera Bread standard and the variety was more than I've seen compared to the other Panera Breads. Parking seemed weird and getting in required a U-turn but overall, it was worth it. read more

General manager Linda Tweedy (I believe was name)took my order. She was not friendly, seemed to really enjoy her job....NOT!

This is a big store with plenty of comfortable and ADA compatible seating. It has a nice patio that is pet friendly. Clean store and clean bathrooms. The food was good, too. read more

After 10 minutes waiting in the ever slow drive thru for my online pick up order, my sausage egg white cheese and avocado on a ciabatta had brown avocado, less than nothing egg whites and there was ZERO sausage!!!!! So, I had to turn around on the highway and confront the store. I walk inside and ask for a manager Assistant Manager Andrew came waddling around and immediately gave me attitude. I told him to look at the f***ing sandwich, there's no sausage. Immediately he starts attacking me in an extremely unprofessional manner, stating I cursed at him - I cursed at the situation of there being no sausage on a sausage sandwich! He continued to belittle me. Asked if I paid cash or card, I inform again it was an online order so what does he think. He told me to insert my f***ing card then. it was beyond horrible treatment of a DISABLED VETERAN and her small child in arms! I am beyond appalled and suggest everyone save their money and go to another location. the food is always gross here anyway. Andrew needs to be fired. the entire place is a slap in the face to the Panera brand. disgusting. read more

Ethan and Lila were so amazing! They went out of their way to help me find the drink station and bathrooms. They were super helpful and polite the entire time. I was very nervous but they made me feel so welcome. Then when I got my food I was nicely greeted with my strawberry poppyseed salad. I would totally recommend this Panera and will be coming back for sure! read more

I love Panera, and I'm so glad this one provides a healthy alternative to many of the other fast food places in Waynesboro. However, I think one in three times I use the drive through, my order is wrong. I think it might be the speaker in the drive through? It seems like sometimes they have trouble hearing. Simply repeating back the order would solve this though! read more

Holy be-jeebus, this place is HUGE! And what a view!! I about had a heart attack when I saw there was a stinkin' drive-thru -- really, that may have been the most transformative experience of my ENTIRE LIFE. The inside of this Panera is bigger than many big-name chain stores that are typical "sit-down service". The food and the service are the sam as most Paneras across the board, 4 stars because, well, the drinks station was kind of gross. read more
