Turn. Back. Now. I am writing this not as a review, but a warning. A warning to fellow Weston citizens. Please, if you love yourselves, families, or taste buds, do not set foot in this horrible place. I am not sure if this place is run by a toddler, or perhaps the manager was hog tied and tossed into the walk-in cooler, but it is terribly run. Let's start with this issue. They are routinely understaffed, often with one person working the register, and working the register with the attitude that you just barged into their home and asked them for food. If that's not fun enough, from open til close they are routinely out of half of their items. I take it this is a sign of great inventory management by the unseen toddler manager. Next up we have the quality of food. I just moved to this area a few months ago and have given this place 8 tries. 8 trips into hell on earth. I ordered the usual things me and my girlfriend get, trying breakfast and lunch items. Nope. Not just a bad day. Not just a coincidence. Routinely awful food, prepared in a sloppy manner, with old ingredients. A sandwich which I can only describe as containing dried chicken clippings, with half the bread hanging out of the box and cheese melted onto the plastic. A bagel somehow cut into thirds. Cold mac and cheese. A salad with moldy, old greens. An absolute tragedy. And lastly, the state of the restaurant. Dirty, messy, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Best way to describe it is if a natural disaster hit our area and Panera was looted, but decided to open the next day. Napkins thrown about, no cream, no utensils, everything you need missing, piles of treys with food going bad on their food line. It is truly a sight to behold. This brings me to the depressing conclusion. I am a huge fan of Panera. Unfortunately, I have moved to an area where my closest location is the Weston outpost, which might as well be located in hell and run by Satan. Any one out there, please save your time, money, sanity, and family and avoid this place at all costs. I'd rather go eat out of the Anthony's dumpster than ever go into this insult of an establishment. I will be contacting corporate soon in a desperate attempt to restore honor to our local Panera. God bless you all, and god bless the Chicken Fronteg panini. read more

Worst customer service ever! I visited the Panera Bread on Weston Road/Griffin this morning. All I wanted was a cup of coffee. When I arrived there where two customers in line. 10 minutes later, I was still waiting. I approached the manager and asked if she could take care of me or open another register and she rudely replied to use the self check out register. After waiting in line for such a long time I did not expect that reply. As a result, I walked out without my coffee and more than likely will never return. read more

No one at the register so had to go to self order station. Ordered just half sandwich and cup of soup with the baguette. Took 30 minutes I think a lot of time when there was two cooks and just two orders in front of me. Baguette was so doughy that it must be under cooked. Soup good sandwich so so read more

I love Panera but the level of uncleanliness will probably have me avoiding this location in the future. Food all over the prep station, the food delivery counter was just as bad and was given a bag with soup and food all over it. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Weston, Florida

Excellent bread, excellent sandwiches, not so great coffee. This is the place to go to if you're craving sandwiches. Forget subway-- Panera has so much to offer-- both hot and cold. Many college students like to eat here while working on their school work. The atmosphere is an odd mixture of calm and electric. Can't tell if it's all the nervous energy from the studying students, but whatever the reason, this place makes a nice studying place (and apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks this way). Only if this place closed a little later. But nothing is ever perfect, is it? read more

I ordered a large bowl of Mac and cheese costing me 10$ and it was in clumps. Nothing like the picture. It looked like it hadn't been cooked or defrosted. Looked like square blocks. Severely disappointed. read more

We love eating here, it is always fresh and delicious. However, today you failed miserably and your manager is not trained how to handle when things go wrong. Look carefully at the salad. Yes that is a hair in there and no it doesn't look like it came from someone's head. I understand why the kids say SMH!!!! read more

I seem to always be disappointed with this location. The order is either wrong or I'll get lukewarm coffee. Today was the last straw. I asked for my croissant to be toasted and was told to use the microwave in the dining area. read more

Here at Panera Bread in Weston Florida. The food is nice and fresh. But the bathroom is nasty being so early in the morning, And its that nasty its wrong. The reason for the low rating it's because it's just not the food and service. it's the whole experience of that visit read more

Little to no wait at Panera Bread despite its's preppy Weston location. Parking is usually a problem, though, in the Weston Commons Shopping Center. On September 19th, I had the "You Pick Two" lunch with a cup of Autumn Squash soup and a Frontega Chicken Panini. Total check was $8.82 As for a drink, I had my usual water. The meal came as ordered, was hot and well prepared. Despite the parking issues, I will visit this location in the future. /s/ William E.

One star because zero stars is not an option. Not only is this the consistently the filthiest Panera I've ever been in, it is easily one of the filthiest restaurants in South FL. It continues to get worse. Because of this, it had been a while since I've been there. I stopped in today and it was worse than ever. The floor was covered in food and trash and there was not a single clean table to sit at. It wasn't even busy. I asked to speak with a manager and told her how disgusting the dining room was. She apologized and asked me to pick a table for her to clean. She cleaned that one table and disappeared to behind the counter again. I can't imagine what the kitchen area looks like. Because of this, I will not be back until I hear from someone else that it has changed. I am astonished that the brand allows this store to operate like this. read more

Panera has become my second office. It's noisy, but the noise is tune-out-able. I can sit and do work with their hassle-less wi-fi. They have good food, too...oh yeh. Hot sandwiches beat cold ones. The salads are substantial. Baked goods all done well. Their dark roast coffee does it for me, and I can sit two hours working without hassle, so who's to complain? This one I'm reviewing is closest to home, but, for a chain bakery in S. Florida, it's definitely the place to get stuff done. read more

I really just wanted a quick healthy lunch with my daughter on a Saturday afternoon. We walk in and there is a long line, I already know this isn't going to be a quick lunch. Luckily they had 3 cashiers, so the line went quick enough. My daughter ordered the Be Green smoothie, which they prepare immediately for you. But in the middle if the preparation a guy walks in an asks about his order he placed online, so that delayed it 5 min. She wasn't happy. Our food arrived at our table 30 minutes after we placed the order. I don't come here all that often, but I'm pretty sure that is not the expected wait time. I ordered barbecue chicken sandwich and French onion soup. My daughter ordered Mac 'n cheese and the Figi apple salad. Both were really good, very fresh and tasty. I would say it was worth the wait! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Weston, Florida

We have been to this location since it has been opened and today I ordered 5 breakfast sandwiches and oatmeal to go. All five sandwiches were made incorrectly, and consisted of mostly bread, paper thin ingredients, and the oatmeal did not come with fruit. Normally we would never call a restaurant out for this, but in this case it was so wrong , so blatantly lacked any quality standards that I called. Spoke to a manager, she apologized, offered a partial credit. We returned to the store and the manager on duty made no excuse and forgot to provide the proper amount for credit. We finally just gave up and we will not return to the store. Poor management, no quality standards, and if I was the franchise owner, I would be very concerned. read more

Girl who took the order was far from pleasant and looked pissed to be working. Your order takers are the first experience of where you eat! Train them to be merrier to serve others!!! I could never have someone like this working my front desk. Food preparation was on ultra slow mode! Only one tall girl being fast and effective Everyone else was Too busy chatting to each other as two of us stood waiting for our order. read more

Do not buy pastries from this Panera. It's my fifth time I come and there are flies sitting on the unenclosed pastries. That is unacceptable for recognized bakery like this one. Either enclose the pastries and bread or install a vestibule at the entrance to keep the flies out. PLEASE! read more

Have tried eating here or picking up several times since moving to the area. Every time there was an issue, whatever pick up time they tell you add 20 minutes to it and triple check your order cause they have never gotten mine right. One time they took 20 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese. Avoid this location and go somewhere else read more

Love coming here for lunch or just to study. Many people bring their laptops and sit in one of the booths against the wall to study or work. The place is quite noisy, especially during lunch and dinner time. But the service is good. The food wait is short and they bring the food to you (most of the time). Tables for dining inside and outside. Free wifi. Drawbacks - hard to find parking in the complex. Sometimes, it's difficult to find a table inside for dining. read more

I frequent this Panera a lot because I literally have no option.. it's the only place nearby that I can sneak out of work and get a cup of coffee. That being said this is not just a one bad experience. Anytime I order anything off the menu whether it's a special order or not they always take 20 minutes to make my food, and every single time I receive it it's messed up. This Panera is always consistently fuking EVERYTHING UP. And their customer service is weak! If you guys know that you messed something up completely just give the customer what they want.. I've seen some of the employees there bicker back and forth with a dissatisfied customer. I understand that the customer is not always right. But this Panera is always wrong. Their Panini's come out cold, the 20 minute sandwiches that they make are always really messy and are over price. If I'm paying $10 for a sandwich and a bag of chips that better be the best tasting sandwich I ever had and it should take less than 10 minutes. I've worked in other restaurants before, and even at a sit-down restaurant example Chili's or Bonefish their ticket times are usually 12 minutes the longest it should take for food to get to your table is 15 minutes... why the hell is a fast food place like Panera taking 20 minutes to make a shit flatbread sandwich. Again this is not a one-time bad experience I've gone to Panera at least once a week (not by choice either remember this is the only place nearby that I can go to).. it's like the employees there know that there are no other fast food options. So they give no fuks if they're bad with customer service or food service. Honestly this place just needs to be shut down and they need to open up a Jamba juice or some other café. They can't do anything right. Just avoid this place at all cost. read more

Panera is horrible! I ordered online for Delivery to my office the other day and they messed my entire order. I ask for no peanut dressing in my salad. Well they put the peanut dressing in the salad. In addition my sandwich was missing all the toppings. I had to wait 25 minutes for someone to answer the phone. The lady on the phone was rude. She told me that if I wanted my food again I will need to go and pick it up!!! I was furious! They fuk up my order which I paid delivery fees and I have to go and pick up my food. I started screaming at her. She told me that I didn't need to scream at her. I told her to put a manager on the phone. She refused. Maybe she was the manager. They lost my business for sure. read more

This Panera location is TERRIBLE! Ive given them so many chances and I'm just tired of the poor quality service and mistakes they make with the orders. read more

Horrible customer service i did online rapid pick up and they forgot an item and forgot to slice bagels and toast them.i called them when I got home i was not going to drive back the manager would not issue a credit on my credit card or my reward card only way was to drive back to the location. read more

Bad service. The oldlady that take order in the front talk with attitude. She does not happy at all. Should stay home lol

This place is dirty every time I come here, 10 open tables every single one is dirty. The floor has food everywhere and this is between lunch and dinner at 4:30pm. The food was good but the filth of the restaurant makes the restaurant less appealing. read more

I eat here almost weekly so it's safe to say I have quite the addiction with panera. This location I've had a few issues with, but it's the one closest to my house so I always choose this by convenience. They've messed up my order many times so make sure you double check your entire order. One time they gave me someone's entire order by accident. read more

Came in around 730pm tonight... tried to order on the touch screens, however we were having an issue with it saying one of our items was out of stock. We stood around for over 15 minutes at the counter, even said "help" multiple times and when someone finally came, they helped the people that just walked in. We ended up walking out hungry, without ordering anything and going to the Chili's in the same plaza (great service there btw). Shame on me though, because this is my second time to this Panera location and it's the second time I've had garbage service. DO NOT GO TO THIS PANERA! read more

We have not been to Panera in several months and trust me we will not be back! This place is disgustingly filthy. I had to clean our table because all of them were dirty. The upholstered booths are gross, the chairs are splattered with food the carpet is a science experiment! The manager warned us our order would take 20 minutes try 45 minutes. The manager pitched in to help or we might have had to we eat while they were closing the place. She was doing the best she could with the work challenged teens she had. People at tables were getting their food one person at a time and order after was wrong. Then after waiting all that time my wife gets told they ran out if what she ordered! SERIOUSLY! God help this country with the workforce that is coming up!!! read more

I like the food at panera but I think almost every time I come they get something wrong with the order. Whether my sandwich is missing something in it or they don't put the greens I ask for in my salad. Wish they could pay attention to what the cashier puts on the order since it comes out right on the receipt. read more

Went there,soda machine broken .when we asked fr our order.didn't have this bread or that bread ,they had run out .brought our order out,one request was without onions,( it had onions) they hadn't put one our requested soups on the first order,had to go and reorder. Was that a good dining experience? I wouldn't think so.they should of offered us at least bottled water.the cashier started giving me this explanation that they donate this and that ,and that they don't make excessive amounts of bread etc etc etc.....i told her that that was not my problem im just the customer and that was my last time in that dump.....manager should have done damage control.....guess she was too busy doing nothing Wont go back . Should get no stars but thats not a choice read more

We went to Panera for late lunch on 1/14. Very disappointed. Restaurant tables were not clean. Ran out of lemons for beverages ( with a Publix right next store for a resourceful manager-i.e. 101). Empty iced infused green tea with no refilling effort. Plenty of alternatives in the neighborhood. We've been to other Panera locations. This location was a fail. We wrote to Corporate with no response to date. read more

I love the food in this place, but how is possible that at 1:30 pm there are no bagels available ? I honestly think is insane that a place that is famous for their bread has no bagels. So all customers that come from now in and they close at 10 pm, get ready! So mad and it is not the first time it happened. read more

This place is great for a quick breakfast or lunch. The prices are pretty reasonable for the quality of food that is given to you. Its kinda a mix of fancy and fast food. They have a whole assortment of baked good made fresh along with sandwiches, soups, and salads. I usually get the Italian sandwich on ciabatta or one of the soups. After you place your order you sit down, then like magic it shows up at your table minutes later! If you're looking for a lunch date spot or a place to study, you can do both here. It can get a little busy, so coming on off hours is smart if you're trying to study. The best part about Panera is the free samples! Oh and did I mention the free WiFi! read more

Great Food, however Service is not Good at all! Service is a #1 Priority for me so you will get 2 stars, very young management that do not care about the restaurant, the customers, just their paycheck. How Sad read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Weston, Florida

I have gone to several Panera breads and I don't understand their concept here in Weston. You place an order and you get the receipt and also a disk that buzzes when your food is ready. As I stand waiting for my food I hear someone auctioning off the food . If you have the buzzer what is the purpose of it because it never buzzes and the person walks around with your food. read more

We come to Panera a lot as the food is good, healthy and the location has good out door seating. Poor review is because the place is poorly managed. Staff seem to do what the like and they don't like to be on the register. Lines are too long, get a better manager. By the way this is a recurring issue with this Panera so maybe the owner is the issue. Pity place and food are good. read more

Wrong cream cheese, empty coffee pot & not egg whites that was ordered but the atmosphere is nice. O well, my review was about as good as my breakfast. read more

Expensive, but I love the bread, egg soufflés and mac & cheese! I enjoy coming here to get out the house and do schoolwork, but avoid lunch hour and breakfast on the weekends if you are trying to work in a relatively quiet environment. This particular location has been refreshed and I like the revised layout. read more
