Avocado toast - Garden Avo
Joe L.

This is usually a busy Panera. The food is just about the same as other Paneras. Our favorites for breakfast are the soufflés and avocado toast. Try the avocado toast with the aioli on the side. I think it tastes much better if you control the amount of aioli. Since it is pretty busy the service can seem slow after you order. Sometimes the pickup area has a bunch of folks waiting, but they have a pretty good order board. So you'll have a better idea when your order is ready for pickup. Order before you get there and then eat in. They have lots of tables, to include for groups. The outdoor tables are pretty good too. There's parking lot traffic but it's not noisy.

Service Counter

PLACE IS *FILTHY*!!!! I would have taken more pics but---I think these few say it all. I went in at 1100 on 10/9. Just five hours after they opened and every single table that was empty had piles of napkins and crumbs and trash; eating area was FILTHY. Counters--FILTHY. Soda machine floor--was puddled with syrup/juice. was there anyone trying to clean? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The manager said "we're too busy to clean". I told her--"This place if filthy and it's just as much a part of customer service as filling orders." TOTALLY UNSAT--People--avoid this Panera at all costs.

Mac & Cheese

I really like Panera, but sometimes it's a hit or miss. I've had Mac where it's almost entirely cheese, or it's mostly bottom of the barrel noodles. The service is good, and the vibe is nice, but all in all it's about the food itself, and the food is inconsistent.

In the past year I've tried to give this location the benefit of the doubt.. First there was a long curly hair in my salad. Then my rapid pick up order was stolen within minutes of me getting there. Next my order had specific simple instructions that were clearly ignored. Lastly order stolen again!!! I completely understand it is of no fault that the stolen food from the shelf is not completely their fault however, it should be monitered more closely. Waiting 35 more minutes to repeat an order that originally only took 8 minutes is ridiculous!!! I won't give this location another try unless they fix all these issues!! I tried! Update: called and spoke with "Tonie" a "manager" who wanted to argue the length of time my daughter waited all the while I was in the phone. Once we looked in the bag there was no whole Frontera which we ordered, there was no cream cheese which we ordered 4 different ones. Requested extra mayo on the turkey blt as pictured I must be blind! And this must be the only panera where the b in blt means bread instead of bacon!! There was mac and cheese which we didn't order! Thanks for my refund for this horribly wrong order. Won't return

Southwest chicken Cesar salad with a side of HAIR
Zekrya S.

*DOUBLE CHECK YOUR FOOD FOR HAIR* So! the manager, STU, at this panera location does not take care of cleanliness or correct customer service guidelines and this is why.. Our salads were ready to be picked up and I grabbed it and get ready to eat with my wife and I see a hair in my salad just laying on my chicken and she couldn't believe it, like why would that be there honestly? Could that be purposely because they think people won't notice just ready to eat or is this a genuine mistake, I honestly don't know! So I asked one of the employees if a manager was available and he left and came back to tell me that the manager was out front of the store on the phone, I waited about 3 minutes and finally was like okay, let me just go outside and tell him about the hair in my salad. I went outside and told him and he got off his call, came inside and I showed him that I hadn't even began eating the salad yet and their was a hair chillin on my salad, he says oh I'm sorry I will throw it out and make a new one for you, I'm like ok? As he was walking away with my old salad i mentioned how good the salad actually looked and I'm really bummed and I hope the next one he brings me will look just as good if not better, because in most cases people will get annoyed and just make the second bowl out of frustration and it might be made a bit careless the second time, and he said oh definitely I got you. I was like ok cool. He brings me the salad back and he's like this one is brand new! I'm like okay, and let me tell you that this salad was halfway full this time, had like 2 pieces of avocado and the first one had a healthy amount if not more avocado in it, so when he brought me the salad I was like oh man, I was afraid this one wouldn't look as appetizing and he's like oh it looks good right and I looked confused at him and said no, the first one looked better minus the hair and he's like oh yea that first one was more full right and I said right, he said I can bring a handful of more salad for u, I was like oh no don't worry about it at this point, and I'm thinking to myself how annoyed, hungry, frustrated and agitated I'm getting by this type of service, I will just eat what you've brought at this point!! So he leaves, then as I'm leaving I go outside to my car and I see another employee outside and I asked nicely, what is the process that you all take when someone has hair in their food, the employee immediately said we are supposed to refund it as a courtesy and remake it for them and offer anything else we can to accommodate our customers. I said wow, okay and what if that didn't happen when I spoke to your manager, Stu, and he didn't do any of those accommodations for me. The employee said honestly, I would recommend you call our corporate or HR and let them know. I said thanks for your honesty and left. So yeah, the manager there BY THE NAME OF STU doesn't seem fit for the job and if you look at how the kitchen floor is, you can get a good idea of how he takes care of his customers and cleanliness. It's bizarre that even with people who have ServSafe certifications they don't know the basics of up keeping a clean environment and having good customer service with paying customers. So unfortunate and very upsetting as u can see I've left a very long and detailed review of my experience. And from the rating I can tell other people haven't had a much better experience either lol much better paneras out there than this location!

Drink machine with build up mold that can easily be washed or wiped off.   No level of sanitizing

I honestly feel like this franchise owner does not care about cleanliness, training the staff, or anything you may expect from a Panera. I wish I hadn't paid in advance. I was grossed out by the level of visible dirt and mold on the drink machine. It is not hard to clean because I was able to wipe off the buildup on the handle with just the brown napkin they had. I have very strong health concerns about this specific location.

They gave pickles 2/3 times . Everything else was good. The Turkey bravo sandwich was great love the bread

Cold, freezer veggies
Monica M.

This was a take-out order. Not fresh & off-putting. Cold, frozen sad salad.. this wasn't worth my money. I understand if you don't want to waste it, but it could be a health concern if it went bad. The edges of the vegetables were losing color, the chicken was too cold, and there was no taste to anything. Trust me, you'd know If a salad wasn't fresh.. You decide.

This just for decoration as they are slow af
K M.

Too bad there is no option for no stars. Very inefficient. Staff not in any hurry to make takeout orders. Slowest service of any place I've gotten anywhere in a long time. Only came here because my kid wanted it. After all that waiting they still got the order wrong. Won't return.

Flavorful, lots of rib meat filling and bread grilled nice and crunchy. It's delicious. Berry Almond French Toast is very good. If you have a sweet tooth for brunch, then do not miss this dish. Steak & cheese melt is a staple on this menu. Filled with nicely seasoned steak, grilled onions and a blend of cheese makes this dish a hearty brunch meal. From the host to the service team, everyone is very efficient and friendly. Pro Tip: use the Yelp waitlist feature on busy days.

I also got 2 summer rolls, nice and crispy. It was perfect. I love tripe so I'm hype they added this to the menu because I've been coming here for years (really my mom and sister... I'm more of a ramen girl but recently, pho has been my jammmmm as well). In any case, they never had tripe so. It's been awesome. Go ahead and try. It won't disappoint.

This place keeps the Belgian brews stocked across the spectrum. From fruity Lambics to Tripels (my personal fave) and Quadrupels, pales to darks. There's a lot to explore here. The food is pretty good too. The frites (fries) are excellent and pair well with the beer. They are thick without veering into steak fry territory, nicely crunchy, and packed with a pleasing amount of salt (and I believe a hint of vinegar). The waffles are also a standout, typically topped with light and airy cream. The merguez lamb sausage is also hearty and delicious. I wish the building itself was larger. There's only a few tables, meaning you may be in for a wait if you go during the colder months. And I recently had the chocolate mousse and didn't care for it. It was much more akin to pudding, and there wasn't a deep enough chocolate flavor to contrast with the whipped cream. There's no better place I've found in Occoquan to eat, drink, and be merry. I highly recommend you stop here when you visit.
