    The worst food on earth! Cold chicken, extremely low-quality and stale lettuce and other ingredients. The portion was tiny, and the chicken was ice cold. Totally not worth the price, I wouldn’t even take free food from this restaurant again.

    they're just not very detail oriented. the food is overpriced but at least its pretty tasty, but every time i order from here there is something wrong with my order. they never get the sides right, forget drinks often, or forget entire sides - every time. its really bad and inconsistent. when i think to myself "i want panera", i talk myself out of it because this is the only location and its really bad

    The positives: Great service, tasty food. The negative: The floors were filthy. Food under tables that had clearly been left there for a while. I’m not sure why carpets would be used in a food establishment.
