    Waited nearly an hour for a half-filled cup of mac and cheese, a salad that was supposed to have avocado (extra money wasted) and a sandwich with bits of a mystery meet on it, presumably from another sandwich. And why did it cost over $30? This is ridiculous. Skipping Panera next time.

    I love Panera food, but this Panera is the slowest and is getting worse! There always seems to be plenty of employees and yet it almost always takes 30-40 minutes for the food to be ready! I wish they hadn’t closed the other one in town so at least we’d have options.

    Waited in line with 5 cars ahead of me for 42 minutes. Yes you read that right. Never in my life will I come back here. Nobody seemed bothered inside or like they had any idea what they were doing. Coulda sat at a steakhouse and had a meal faster but instead was trapped in their drive through that you can’t turn out of…

    They must be understaffed. I was in line approx. 11:30 then finally after the guests moved from in front of the kiosk I placed my order 11:49, I walked out at 12:20. I ordered broccoli and cheddar soup mac and cheese and a bbq sandwich..... 2 managers and a trainer clocked in. Im just use to better service maybe thats my fault.

    Waited 10’mins for food and couldn’t get drink cups while we waited. Is this a thing now? What makes it worse is 2 employees asked if I needed something I explained to them I was looking for a drink cup. They said it would come out with my order and I said I was trying to get them while I waited. Both said nothing and walked away.
