Great spot for quick and easy meal. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of options to pick from. No problems finding great selection of food. We had the green goddess chicken Cobb salad which was large and delicious. Also order BBQ chicken sandwich with chips. Another great choice. Friendly employees, clean restaurant, tons of options and treats, and lots of parking! read more

If you want something that's similar to fast food without the heaviness of a burger come to Panera. Prices are high. If I come here I like to order online for rapid pick up, and then get my order off the shelf and sit down inside so if I can't finish it I can take it to go. read more

came in may 23rd around 1:30-2pm and the cashier was so slow. he might not be there all the way. he didn't try saying hi so i stared at him until he did and then he forgot the entire order that i just gave, and i had to repeat it. then at the counter while waiting for the food, the guy just looked over at me with a menacing stare not trying to acknowledge me. he shoved the food front wards and didn't yell a name or anything. these people are so stupid and slow and it was just me. i'm not surprised though! the food was gross by the way! read more

Shout out to Heather who really helped me in a jam! The website was not letting me place a catering order the night has to place an order same morning and the time it gave me was past my meeting time I called to see if I could get my order earlier then scheduled, the team wasn't sure but when I arrived they had everything waiting for me! Smiles on their faces and so nice. Just really appreciated heather and the team at this location working speedy when I could see they were swamped with catering orders. read more

When you visit Panera, you expect a similar experience that you'll get at other Panera locations, and this is no exception. Food is always freshly prepared, service is usually lightning quick even when crowded, and it gets crowded quite often, and staff is always helpful. The only small gripe I have is that sometimes the lime soda is not available and that's my go-to drink. Otherwise, a well run Panera location. read more

We used to have a large group there mid-morning. They kicked us out because they couldn't handle that much business at that time, i.e. we were spending too much money. Also stopped selling real eggs on their sandwiches. Only scrambled from a carton. Food and service has really gone downhill. I will not return. read more

I've been to all of the area Panera's and the food is okay for a chain. We've ordered bagels and cream cheese as well sandwiches for work events and the food satisfies the crowd. I would recommend their Soufflés which are not easy to find anywhere for breakfast. All of the varieties are tasty but I think the Spinach/Artichoke is the best one. For sandwiches, there are many Chicken, Turkey varieties and menu adjusts slightly seasonally. I've tried most of them and would recommend the Frontega Chicken & Turkey/Avocado BLT. They have plenty of salad choices and started serving Pasta dishes recently. The coffee cake is not too sweet and just right and a good one for a party. Service is okay & they are popular for breakfast & lunch so they do get busy. read more

As you can see in the photo I uploaded of the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, they were quite stingy with the avocado. But the flavor of what I got was quite good, though. read more

Lobster Roll....Frozen lobster...absolutely tasteless..too expensive. Pretty presentation. Overall a waste of money at a restaurant I usually adore. Such a disappointment. read more

Friendly staff! Great food! A young man named Evan went above and beyond to provide excellent service! Give the guy a raise!

Customer service is not much of a priority here. The staff that prepares the food are involved in their private conversations and make no effort to speed people through the line. When the food does finally come out, it's thrown together in a very unattractive manner. Why can't management train their staff to make customers feel valued and appreciated? read more

I went to this store and order my food. First, the person who took my order gave the wrong food. Next, I think she purposefully spelled my name wrong because I am not the loudest speaker. She put my name as Cantyella , definitely on purpose. I think the workers were snickering at what she did. I am so thankful I did not give her a tip. The vibe of the workers was weird, they talked more than they worked. All of this cannot be a coincidence, and I am never coming back again. read more

Usual affair which is good for traveler like me. Know the menu and knows what I want being vegetarian. Black bean soup which I tried sample before ordering which turned out really good, with Mediterranean veggie sandwich- no feta cheese. Their bear claw pastry is really worth try for some one looking to end good meal.. also for hot food lovers, they carry tubes of Tabasco sauce which you have to ask for it. adding It really made my soup delicious read more

Panera Bread - Black bean soup delicious with Mediterranean veggie sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

I think it's kind of weird to review chains like this, but I just have to say how impressed I am with Panera's lobster roll!!!! It's on the more expensive side of things they sell, but absolutely worth every penny. I was worried it would look nothing like the picture and be more mayonnaise than it was meat, but that worrying was for nothing! The roll was overflowing with delicious, fresh, juicy lobster meat and had such a good flavor! The artisan roll itself was super soft and buttery, too. I have to hand it to Panera, for a chain they know how to perfect the lobster roll!!!! The only thing I can suggest is not trying to eat it out of the container they give you if you order it to-go, because it's way too big for that and you'll make a mess! Without a doubt the most satisfying thing I've had in a very long time. read more

In ordering via mobile app for Rapid Pick Up in cafe this evening, upon unpacking things once hubby arrived home, the order was incomplete in many different ways. We realize that things are crazy due to Covid, employee shortages, and supply shortages, but the lack of care and attention to those that want to offer you patronage is HEAVILY disrespectful. My soup was missing in my PIck 2. My daughter's sandwich was whole sandwich was only half filled. In addition, the avocado wasn't even fully peeled but yet put on (choking hazard). Hubby also informed us regarding how unprofessional the staff and the cleanliness. etc of the establishment were. We will no longer eat at or from this location. They need to SERIOUSLY get their act together. It is a shame, as this location used to be pretty good. read more

Excellent cafe ,dining room is kept in clean condition,all the drinks and coffees are regularly serviced and creamers filled.Nice selection of different foods with kids choices ,smaller pizzas and a couple of comfort favorites added to menu.Great atmosphere for a chain cafe. read more

High crime area. AVOID. This is the one in the Festival. They can't keep the butter out due to pilferage AND IT IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEIR STAFF. Ordered online. Food not on the shelf. The harried and rude manager snarled "did I have my e-mail? they need it to find it". Went back to the office got the email, phone pictures of order needed to document it. "It was stolen". I explained I didn't have time to wait, could I get a refund. He said because I was rude he'd only send it to the credit card and if I didn't leave he wouldn't give me any refund at all. Did not express regret nor say sorry just threatened the police on me. Probably didn't like my type of person. I do not feel safe to go back. Get your video going if you go in, you may need it in court. read more

Bottomless coffee and free WiFi with a lot of power outlets. I'm a distance education learner...and you can find me studying at Panera often because of bottomless good coffee and free WiFi. The food is good. I'm disappointed this year because Panera did not offer their usual seasonal variety of Mushroom soup. I really enjoy the Black Bean, The Vegetarian Veg with Pesto, and the Creamy Tomato with Cheese croutons. They get a 4 star because of consistency and a superior product. While not Jewish Style bagels, their bagels are yummy and make for wonderful sandwiches. Their new Rewards program is great, and has saved me money because I would have gone there even if they didn't offer the rewards. But I am happy they do. I do have one wish/request: Please bring back the Nutty Chocolate Chipper cookie. That was your second best cookie coming a close second after the shortbread. For those that don't realize it, all the Paneras in Maryland are owned by the same franchise. read more

Panera Bread - 12/07/11 - Sandwiches Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

Terrible customer service! Ordered a Fuji apple salad with chicken. NO chicken, lite on the salad and apple. Poor. Worse when we called and they can't send us a new one. We have to come pick it up . What happened to customer service?? If you order is right, probably good. If wrong you are on your own because the can't do anything with doordash. I was told not to post anything on social media. Poor systems and poor customer focus! Order from another place. read more

Nice cutomer service and good food but the cafe is always dirty when I go there. There are stacks of dirty dishes, dirty tables and dirty floors that need to be vacuumed. I realize it was 5:00 p.m. so maybe there was a busy lunch crowd but it would be nice if it could be kept cleaner. Other Panera's in the area seem to be the same way. read more

so we order a breakfast sandwich that is on the menu board with brioche and was told they are out of brioche??? Almost all of the breakfast sandwiches are supposed to be served on brioche. Then the breakfast sandwich was more like a 1/2 sandwich and one was not on the replacement bread requested for the brioche. Out of some of the coffee selections, too? This particular Panera Bread often is out of things on the menu. Usually try to go to the one in Abingdon. read more

Picked up a mobile order. Arrived home and found that the baguette bread was missing.

As a consistent visitor to Panera Bread and a huge Panini enthusiast, I love eating a nice lunch at my local Panera Bread. Although I truly have to be in the mood for a Panini, I am never disappointed when I go to Panera. My favorite sandwich is the Cuban chicken sandwich which features smoked ham, grilled chicken, provolone cheese, sweet pickle, and a tangy chipotle sauce. It is just so mouthwatering. I also love complimenting my sandwich with a nice warm bowl of their creamy mac and cheese. Overall, the atmosphere and vibe that I get from Panera is very casual, relaxing, and somewhat businessy. What I mean by "businessy" is that it appears to be a nice place to bring your laptop or tablet and surf the web, or even in my case, do some homework. The restaurant and tables are always clean, and the workers are very fast in preparing your meal. This is basically, in my opinion, a fast food restaurant with good quality, all in a dine-in atmosphere. If the sandwiches are still delicious, the mac and cheese is creamy, and the atmosphere is very chill and casual, I will be returning to Panera Bread whenever I have that huge craving for a Cuban Panini. read more

Went to Panera bread today. Hadn't been there for awhile so I was looking forward to it. Very limited menu and no lemons for the drinks. Ok maybe due to covid. Person who took my order had a Marxist organization political pin on. Get home and my Turkey Bacon bravo sandwich which should have turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and a dressing on it had turkey and cheese. Nothing else. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

We walked in to pick up a carry out order and a very beautiful black woman had her fingers in her mouth picking her teeth at the register and seemed to be in distress like maybe she has something stuck in her tooth. She went to the back and was looking in her cameras phone to see into her mouth (and was still in sight of us). She went about picking and working her fingers in her teeth and then we asked her co workers where we could pick up our carry out order and then they directed us to her, as she came back out front never washing her hands..... um no. We watched the whole thing. Now I question the hygiene of the whole place if these people represent the face of the place !!!!You can't package our food. Don't touch my credit card... but thanks for asking ! I've never seen anything so disgusting. I was about to puke. I don't want your dirty mouth teeth fingers packing up my food or taking care of my order! And also no mask. That's how she got the full effect of fingers in her mouth. I should have videoed it. Maybe that's why the governor is shutting down the restaurants back to 50%. People can't govern themselves accordingly or sanitarily! Disgusting !!! Never be back!!!!!!! read more

Panera is a pretty good chain, and this panera has a pretty smooth operation. I walked in around 1, and there were approximately a million people here, but the line moved smooth and fast, and our food came out quickly. I got the Roast Beef Asiago - I really miss Au Bon Pan, this wasn't quite what I wanted, but close enough to entertain me simply by ordering it - which was quite good. The cheesy bread and the slice of cheddar cheese seemed a bit much to me, but it was still tasty. I got asked if chips were ok with my sandwich, but not told what the other options were. Also, by the time I finished serving my own drink, my sandwich was out, but they don't seem to re-shout numbers, so I waited a minute and then asked for the number on the sandwich I thought was mine. Would have given it 4 stars if they made my drink for me (honestly, if I can pay $2 for an iced tea, you can put it in the cup for me) and re-shouted my order number when I didn't come get it. read more

This Panera is not very different from any other Panera. i.e. the food is as good as any other chain, the ambiance is the same, etc. This one though can get rather busy. Even so the people are efficient, there is a ton of seating, and service is great. What more can you ask for in a chain store? Not much read more

Typical Panera Bread - but the service is exceptionally quick around lunch time. They are also quick to clean the tables. Exactly what you would expect from the chain. read more

Employees love to make political statements. I've seen black lives matter pins they were all wearing, switching male and female name tags to support indoctrination of gender neutral issues.....Recently hired two new girls: texting on phones when taking orders, telling jokes and talking to each other when taking orders, and were discussing a displeased customer and said "F them" right in front of my daughter.....Also, one of the most poorly managed Paneras. Bad hires, always running out of things, coffee never filled (I waited 15minutes for that--TWICE), bad attitudes, nothing consistent. read more

My husband and I love the fuji apple salad. We get one every Friday after we do our grocery shopping. Some weeks the salads are great but sometimes like today, there were no apples on the salad and there was barely a salad in the bowl. I wish they were more consistent and please put apples on an apple salad! read more

The food was great but the chicken teriyaki bowl needs a little bit more teriyaki. Overall it was great! All of the workers were very polite and our meals were made in quick time! read more

This was the first Panera I ever tried, and I think it's probably the best one. I like their vegetarian black bean soup, and the Mediterranean sandwich. But beyond that, I really don't care for anything else. read more

I ordered the Half and Half meal for lunch, which included the BBQ Chopped Salad and French Onion Soup. My food was delicious and tasted as good as the Panera I had in Richmond, Virginia lol.

Panera Bread - Late Lunch! - Sandwiches Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

This is the worst Panera I've ever been to. Order accuracy is abysmal. Only twice has my irder ever been correct. Wait -- there was a THIRD time my order was correct but there was a big black hair in it that appears to be from artificial hair. My salad was remade but not correctly. I've never seen so many sour-looking , unfriendly workers in one place -- from the cashier to the order assembly & pickup. The person I assume to be the lead or manager wasn't wearing a hat, visor, or hairnet and was just a grump. Never again. read more

This is probably the worst Panera bread cafe I have ever been to. I went yesterday for dinner. Not only was the cafe disgustingly dirty, the cashiers were unfriendly and uneducated about their menu. There was what I believe to be the manager not looking at all interested in the going's on of her cafe. I waited 20 minutes for soup that came out cold and had no taste and when I asked for a replacement the same manager gave me an attitude. I'll never go back there and the one in Abingdon is worse. The cleanliness of the store is horrific. This place needs a make over and to zero base the staff. Panera sells itself but with this dirty unfriendly cafe it won't be selling much to anyone I know. read more

Great food and service as always! Panera is always consistent and I appreciate that about them. However, I typically eat in. This was my first time getting takeout at a Panera. The cashier and cooks were very friendly (made small talk with them all). Great guest experience and clean location, but next time I won't order salad to go. It's in such a small container that you don't get as much lettuce. I understand that this may be an optical illusion (since it may fluff up in the bowl when eating in). They didn't Short me on toppings though. I was pleased to see that the toppings were still generous but it didn't feel as proportionate to the rest. I got the You Pick Two meal, so it's only the small salad but a lil more lettuce next time please. French onion soup was delicious as always and I really appreciated that they kept the croutons separate on the side to avoid getting soggy. read more

My family and I are huge fans of Panera Bread and have had great experiences over the years, but this place has consistently been the exception. The number of times they have gotten our order wrong, had sub par ingredients, or substituted something without even mentioning it to us has reach unacceptable levels. Today we order brownies to take home they were hard as a rock! There is no way the person giving us those would not have known that. The last couple of visits have seen hard avocado on sandwiches, the bread substituted without mentioning it and ingredients being left off completely. In addition to the brownies today the sandwich I order was again half assed. I am done!! It is a shame as they are close by but we will get our Panera fix it other locations. If you have to use this place I highly recommend you inspect everything before you leave! read more

My wife and I received a gift card from our kids and went to the restaurant in Bel Air, Maryland on Saturday. Wow - I did not expect it to be so bad! I ordered a full steak panini and wy wife a 1/2 steak panini and cup of chicken rice soup. The size of the bread for each sandwich was the same. The amount of "steak" in each sandwich was the same - 1 very thin deli slice. Only difference was that my sandwich was cut in 1/2 (I assume to fool me into thinking I had a whole sandwich). Arby's across the street from this place provides more steak, for less money and they know the difference between a 1/2 sandwich and a whole sandwich. The soup had way too much salt and did not taste fresh. A lunch for $19.42 should be better. Perhaps this place is not for adult dining. This restaurant must cater to the crowd of teenage kids in the booths using the WiFi. Our kids were dissapointed that their gift was not what they thought they were getting and so were we. read more

I will never be back until they drug test the managers I saw a manager taking a order and nodding off clearly messed up on something this wasn't just him being tired the dude couldn't even keep his eyes open while taking the order his name was Chris. I'll also be calling their corporate office to discuss the matter. read more

This is the absolute worst Panera Bread I have ever been to in my life. Not only did I get put on hold for 15 minutes I was talked to poorly and paid 30 dollars for my food and did not receive half of it, here forward I will never give any Panera bread my money or time ever again. Ps wish I could give this review zero stars because they deserve it read more
