      Place was filthy and disgusting. The tables were dirty. There was food all over the ground. The staff would knock some of the stuff off of the table onto the floor and walk off. The men's restroom was cleaner than the restaurant. The food is overpriced and subpar. Only ate there once because we had a gift card. I will not return to such a filthy and disgusting place. The person that is responsible for cleaning the dining room is severely slacking off and doesn't take their job seriously. They stand around and talk to one or two customers that they're probably friends with. I think the ************ should go in there and do an inspection. I have a feeling they'd get shut down in a heartbeat.

      This is from a former employee at a ****************** ************ and "workers" here are abusers. I was mistreated, shunned away, and mocked IN PUBLIC because I was autistic and everybody had no problem making me their entertaining DOG.There were many times were the *** *************************, and the rest of her damned assistants wanted to hurt and make fun of me just for doing everything they said and completing the tasks from those that could f***** care less. To this day I'm still mentally suffering because of her and the rest of those goonies. They all can suffer with that suffering cafe for all I care.Btw: the owner is a PEDOPHILE!

      Absolutely terrible. Never once can I go and have my order right. Silly me for giving them another chance when they falsely advertised all new recipes on many items that I used to enjoy but stopped getting due to the consistently low quality. Not a single item on our order tasted as it should. What they claim to be new recipes are just the same items but of an even lower quality than they previously were. The *******, **** location on ************ needs to be looked into because they just take peoples money and never make it right. They expect you to come back and place another order to replace the item instead of just refunding what they screwed up. Consumers beware! Panera in ************ is incompetent and if they do manage to make the order correctly, you can be sure the quality will be low. The manager I spoke to wasnt helpful but sounded like she had been in the middle of a great conversation when I called. Maybe she shouldve been spending that time checking orders for quality control instead of chatting.

      I was door *******, I asked the staff if they had the two orders I was assigned. The staff were very rude, they ignored me. And the manager told me to leave.Im filing a formal complaint with the better business bureau. This is unacceptable behavior. This will be fixed. And there will be an apology.

      I used to love Panera, no more. Way over priced, ridiculously tiny tiny portions ! I'm still starving after I eat their little morsels. No more! If they think they're saving money this way, bad business. Eventually, no one will eat there and they will go out of business. That's sad.

      I had cancelled a subscription to their drink club and continue to get charged for it. Do not join this, waste of money and will continue to charge you for it.

      Disgusted! This location is ran by children. Last night I place order for myself my child and my husband for two bread bowls and one sandwich. Delivery came I find two small cups in place of bread bowls no one contacted me I call get to speak to a manger who was less than sympathetic and even passed the blame on DoorDash! This lady gets smart with me and tells me well we are out of bread and that amount you received is what we put into our bread bowls anyway. She advised me she refunded the two bread bowl today I get an email from Panera customer service again no apologies but miscommunicated I was fully refunded when ****** I was not! I sent screenshot of refund reflecting this and no decency on response. Horrible ! This company has gone down the c*** chute! This location is garbage if you check reviews nothing but angry and dissatisfied customers but nothing is ever done ! All they do is here is some hush rewards CLOSE THIS **** PLACE THE **** FOWN ALREADY!

      This company continues to over charge for their food while giving the customer small portions. Blaming on their corporate as to their reasoning behind not giving you what you pay for. I purchased a whole tuna sandwich and received what looked like a tablespoon of tuna on each bread. I insisted I was not paying $15 for 2 tablespoons of tuna on 2 slices of bread with a big load of lettuce to hide the cheat! The cashier took a picture of my sandwich, and agreed that it was not an adequate portion then chuckled with her coworker! This location is in ******** ********. Needless to say, this is not my first experience in having purchased a tuna sandwich from this location. It has been an ongoing situation, and they still have not changed. I refuse to purchase anything from this Panera Bread in the future. If purchasing a tuna sandwich from this location, I highly recommend that you look at your sandwich before leaving the place because you may be a bit disappointed. I would be embarrassed to be an employee at this place, because of the way that they do business.

      Horrible company, the manger in this company using the front glass door to punch me when I trying leaving at 9pm, and scolding me making excuses claim I was begging people for money, make up things that not exist. I reported to this company headquarters, but dont get any reply. My left arm still painful for over one week!

      Generally juvenile conduct on the part of employees requiring reporting of behavior with some actions being borderline harassment.
