    This Panera Bread location is in a pretty good location of Williamsburg. If you haven't been before, you may get confused on how to get in and out of the parking lot. The restaurant itself is very clean and the baked goods always look fresh. The tea and coffee station is kept very organized. The customer service was great. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out fast. The ambiance was perfect. There's plenty of seating, the music isn't too loud, and the individuals working there ensure to keep plates and food off of the tables for the next person looking for a seat.

We popped in to look at the menu and it's a wide variety of deli sandwiches and salads. They also offer a breakfast menu. Staff was immediately helpful and friendly with answering questions. I ordered the pastrami & Swiss, wife ham & Swiss. I also ordered a BLT salad with Italian dressing on the side. Price point decent at $30. The dining room is crazy large, they have merchandise for sale and even an ice cone machine. But most interesting was the fact they facilitate the sell of raw milk through a subscription program through a dairy farm. Bazaaro's offer bottle drinks only including bottle wine. Salad out first, yum! Sandwiches were delivered to the table within 10 minutes or so. Everything is served to go and sandwiches wrapped in foil. I was surprised how much meat was on the pastrami. My wife was satisfied with the amount on hers as well and enjoyed. Loved the fresh rye on my pastrami and taste was pretty good too. We both only ate half and carried the rest out. Overall a very good experience and I was especially impressed with the staff that went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied.

I don't know what the difference is between this Rick's and the other ones, but this one feels the most authentic and just what a cheese steak should be. The seasoning is simple, nothing overpowering. The bread could use more toasting, but it compliments the meat seasoning very well. When it comes to Cheese Steaks, it doesn't get more authentic and true to taste than this. I like the fact that they also have some great chicken cheese steaks (the fam isn't a fan of straight steak) with the same level of attention to detail as the original. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. it's a big, big, win. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: The inside is very simple.

The onion rings were nice and crispy! The Philly egg rolls were tasty, but I wish there was more cheese. But it had a good crisp. We got the buffalo garlic sauce, which tasted very much like pure buffalo sauce. So if you like buffalo, it's a good choice. The inside had graffiti on the walls and felt very urban, giving the city vibe. The service was nice and fast. There is plentiful outdoor seating as well! Thank you for the food as we travel from Hampton Roads to Northern Virginia!

You can grab a sandwich (lots of great options) and their house dressing alone is worth the stop. Seriously delicious. But the real fun is the cheese counter.

Take everything downstairs to the cellar, order a glass (or bottle) of wine, and just enjoy. No rush. No fuss. Just good food, good wine, and a great atmosphere. It's one of those spots that feels like an experience, not just a meal. Fun, relaxed, and so, so yum. If you're in Colonial Williamsburg, don't skip this one. Grab cheese, grab wine, and settle in -- you'll be glad you did.

I also tried one of their chocolate chip cookies and a brookie and they were both delicious! Will get those again!

Made everything so efficient! No seating inside but plenty outside! Also lots of yummy treats and food items to look at inside while waiting for your sandwich to be prepared!

Disappointing plus not much in the way of tater tots. They didnt have the doggie menu I saw online which is why I came here but they did make up a beef patty with rice. My dogs ate the beef and played with the rice. And tap water was served which wouldn't have been so bad bit again it was served at room temp which made it taste odd.

They told me the wait was going to be about 15. It was about a 10 min drive and when I got there, I still had to wait. There wasn't space for me to wait so people thought that I was waiting in line each time they walked in. It's super busy, but super small. I waited in the restaurant for my order for maybe an extra 20 mins. So, the wait time was 15 but I waited about 30 mins total. I ordered the catfish platter with fries. They definitely seasoned the catfish and fried it hard. The fries were thick cut and seasoned, but they weren't fried long enough. 3 fish platters cost $50. I would try this place again, but maybe a lot earlier in the day. Because this place is very inconvenient.
