I love this place so much, especially the iced coffee, me and my baseball "teammates" aka lovers come here often and get the rice bowls
Food did not match the menu pictures or the TV ad. Very deceptive advertising. Chicken sandwich was a tiny piece of burnt chicken, 1 small piece of wilted lettuce, no flavor good or bad. Too expensive. So disappointed, will never eat there again. If you have never been there, good luck finding your way around. No staff member offered any assistance. The pink lemonade tasted like a powdered mix and burned my throat.
I use to go to panera bread in Orland got the onion soup with cheese that had good bread on it with cheese smothering the top this one in Ocala is terrible the cheese sprinkled on top and really bad bread in the soup first they gave me wrong soup then this crappy onion soup. What happen to the great onion soup you servered?
I won't be back. Just terrible and expensive to boot. I'd think you'd want your customers to come back
My address I'd appreciate a note from you.

I was celebrating my birthday weekend and a co worker gave me a Panera Bread gift card so after an appointment i had in Bellmore NY i decided to have lunch at the location on merrick road and what an amazing service i received from the front registrar but i want to mention an extraordinary young man at pick up by the name of Charleston
What a wonderful example of customer service ever. It was my first experience at this location but it will not be my last i will tell my friends and family that just as i was treated they will absolutely feel the same and again Charleston even though it was very busy made me feel as though every question or request was important he was professional, polite and extremely patient just awesome that is why i gave them 5 stars
So I work in the plaza that Panera bread is in.
I went on break and went to Panera to get some food, when I got there I placed my order and it took them a full 10 minutes to even realize that I had an order that was placed.
And then when I got the food, I went back to my work to eat the food and when I open the bag; instead of giving me a fork, they decided to give me a knife to eat a salad with.
So that was a $12 meal completely wasted
I will never be eating Panera ever again, I hate Panera and that is the reason why, they're complete idiots
I ordered 1 sandwichesToasted Frontega Chicken, Southwest Chile Lime Ranch Salad with Chicken they don't make any Vegetable ( tomatoes red onions cheese sauce Basil) too much money pay for food it is ok. But making the no good food! Ever come again this restaurant!
When I received my French Onion soup I was disappointed that it wasn't covered with cheese but it wasn't a dealbreaker. However, when I took a bite the soup was barely warm. When I returned it to the counter I was referred to a microwave on the counter. When I deferred, saying I wanted fresh soup the young woman behind the counter was visibly irritated. The second bowl wasn't any hotter than the first. Never again.
I went to the Panera in Inverness Florida. I had placed my order on line and went to pick it up. Not knowing to ask at the intercom where you place the order and let them know i had already ordered. When i did get to the window the girl was very nice and went to get my order. Another girl came to the window and started yelling at me because i had not stopped at the intercom. When i asker her why she is yelling, she said because she had a headset on. Poor excuse of a person. Perhaps she is in the wrong profession dealing with the public. And side note THERE WAS NOONE IN LINE BUT ME AT THE TIME... I will let everyone know perhaps they need to choose another location. As your staff is very unprofessional
I treated my granddaughter to Panera and what a MISTAKE! She ordered chicken noodle soup! The bowl was full of broth, 3 small carrots and several small pieces of noodle! When I complained, the cook showed me another bowl with LESS INGREDIENTS! She NEVER added noodles or chicken that was missing in the soup into the bowl! I will NEVER return to Panera! Bad service and to pay $6.00 for a bowl of broth is unacceptable!
Awesome service n very courteous and sweet cashier, extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. This was a carry out order next time i would love to dine in here
Like other fast food restaurants, panera barely puts any of the main food item on thier sandwiches, such as napa chicken salad. Maybe 1 teaspoon was used.
Second time my husband brings me home Salad from Panera bread mixed, eat it, and almost vomit at the rotten taste, then I look most pieces are old, I took it back. Well they pologized!
Tip for consumers:
Check your food before you leave store
Ordered pizza from boynton beach very poor management Vicky was very rude. When I went to pick up they didn't have my order. Spent my time and gas money for nothing.
Every word is my opinion of Panera Bread. "I rate Panera Bread a ZERO." I ordered a tuna sandwich with no onions, there was onions on one side of the sandwich and the bread was extremely hard and appeared to be old. The other side of the bread, the bread was not a full portion, very little tuna on the bread, bad lettuce, soggy, with bad/old tomotoes. I had to throw most of the sandwich in the trash. I did not get what I paid for. I wouldn't recommend Panera Bread in Fayetteville, Georgia to anybody. Whoever prepared the sandwich made it real sloppy and have a non caring attitude. Do better with the preparation of the food and give more tuna on the bread. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for robbing people out of a full portion of food which they pay for. The sandwich wasn't wrapped correctly and you could see the bread showing with tuna outside of the wrapping; how disgusting, inconsiderate and careless. Good riddance.
Tip for consumers:
Do not visit Panera Bread in Fayetteville, Georgia.

It is my story@ 2135 Ashley Phosphate Rd, North Charleston, SC ******* Panera Bread!
I order a group soup with chips. FINE! You give me bread instead of chips. Acceptable
What about 3 Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken? THERE ARE NO CHICKEN OR EGGS AT ALL!
This is NOT first time, there are missing items or Something!
And no apologizes from staffs at all for this STUPID MISTAKES!
I have bin an active buyer and recently when I went the worker their it was some random wine on the side kept non stop staring at me and just got upset with me just because I asked for a creek chease on side part she yelled at me and then started staring at me the whole time I was eating so overall she just made my experience here horibble
Last night we stopped at Panera in Springfield,Mo.
Two pepperoni melts, one Mac and cheese ad three soft drinks. $46! And it wasn't very good!
We used to like Panera but hadn't been there in a while.
Very disappointed. We won't be back. We weren't even given a reciept for our expensive meal.
I ordered the Bacon turkey lettuce tomato bravo sandwich
The bread was slightly sweet and thick
The meal also came with a large chocolate chip cookie and baked potato chips
FRESH AND DELICIOUS
Will definitely order again!
See photo
My actual sandwich is the size of dollar coin
I refuse to eat a sandwich like this. If this is the way you treat valued customers. I will not be returning to Panera Bread. I was so hungry
Not for a hunk of bread that I paid $9 for.
SO DISSAPOINTED.
Frederick is the manager at Panera at UTC, on Cattlemen Road, in Sarasota.
Frederick is the quintessential hands on Manger who in my opinion is on eof the best leaders I have seen for a long time.
Panera is lucky to have him. Also, of course the food and drinks, the service is top notch.
Well done Frederick.

You'd think with all the great music out there they could have some consistently good music, but no. So much of the new stuff is not.
I used to eat at Panera Bread I even gave one of their employees $600 because I felt bad for the black lives matter calls but I regret doing that I had buddies of mine eat there and it was complaining about how ghetto that same girl was one guy told me her name was Kiki what kind of name is that I was being so respectful to this lady until she showed her true colors some of my colleagues that eat there they do not eat there anymore because of her
Found out Missing item from curbside pick up order when I am home. When I return and ask for missing item staff doesn't say sorry at all. Service is bad. It's Malta breach in Saratoga county.
The customer care and management team are a joke! I visited Panera in Easton, PA on 2/24/2021 and placed an order using the kiosk for dine-in. When I took my elderly father to find a seat, it was all closed off. I ask for a refund and a manager said the refund would be on my card immediately. Instead she charged my card $2 more than what the refund was suppose to be. I'll add that all of the employees could care less about any of the customers. A bunch of kids. When I saw the money come out of my account, I called "customer care". I'm told I need to wait 30 days for my card to be refunded. I got no food and no service but am out over $50. I get one refund 10 days later (the lesser amount) and wait an addition 15 days before calling and am now told it's 30 BUSINESS days. Why does it take them so long to issue a refund? They have my money and I got no food or service. I have spent so much time fighting for my money back. Out of 5 people I spoke to, only one representative treated me like a valued customer. Everyone else had a deal with it attitude.
Horrible experience all around and I'm still out my money!
I had ordered a chipotle chicken avocado melt and I SPECIFICALLY ask for NO MEAT and I made sure my order was correct. As a vegetarian you can only imagine the thoughts that went through my head once I seen my sandwich FILLED with so much of chicken, and then I wasn't able to get a refund? Never again!
The flat bread pizza gave me food posioning and made me have diarrhea for 3 days straight. It was horrible. I'm still traumatized. The crust was burnt and the pepperoni was raw and the cheese was only crisp half way. And the i got a sprite and it was completely watered down. It tasted like sparkling water. I am completely disgusted. Don't ever go here. I am crying
My gf and i were out to breakfast at Boynton Beach diner.It was a hour wait so we went in the same parking lot to panera bread.we were told by 2 people in a stern voice (NOT NICE)when they found out were wanted breakfast that one said ur 5 minutes late and the other said ur 8 minutes late. U woiuld think since it was sunday and the other place was full they would expend the hours of breakfast foods to take care of the 50 people that came in after us for breakfast and was told not and went down the street to Cracker Barrel. I spoke to mngr about it she said to write a letter so here it is. YOU lost a ton of business because no breakfast after 12. Brucnh should got to 3 on weekends! FOOD WAS EXCELLENT
