    Toasted Frontega Chicken (with no Chipotle aioli!)
    Scott E.

    "Bill, help me!" Jo (played by Helen Hunt) yelled as she attempted to retrieve each individual, meteorological sensor that had spilled onto the road from an electric pole being brought down onto his truck's tailgate by the violent tornado. Several minutes later, after Jo had once again climbed out of the truck, sprinted to collect the sensors, and begged for Bill's help, Bill (played by Bill Paxton) responded, "When's it going to be enough, huh? How close do you have to get? Talk to me!" Bill placed his hands on Jo's shoulders. "Jo, things go wrong. You can't explain it, you can't predict it. Killing yourself won't bring your Dad back." Bill paused before his next words reverberated over the live CB that had been left on for the others to monitor their safety. "Sorry that he died, but it was a long time ago...you gotta move on! Stop living in the past, and look what you got right in front of you." "What are you saying?" Jo asked. "Me, Jo." In the pouring rain, the most eccentric member of Jo's crew, Dusty, attempted in vain to hold the umbrella over Bill's fiancé, Melissa, who understood, for the first time, that she had lost Bill, to the chase, to the tornadoes, and to his ex. With climatological research showing Tornado Alley inching slowly eastward and southward, what quick breakfast and lunch destination in Beltsville, Maryland could provide sustenance for Jo's crew, culinary consolation for the disappointed but not quite heartbroken Melissa, and a celebratory salve for Jo and Bill, a couple once again? The answer is the 10914 Baltimore Avenue location of Panera, whose chef and staff ensure each day that the Sausage and Egg Cinnascrambles, the Ciabatta Cheesesteaks, the Toasted Frontega Chicken Sandwiches, and the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are both scrumptious and reassuring, or whichever you happen to need more.

    Placed an order on mobile app. This Panera Bread locates in the shopping center between ALDI and Mathnasium. The small parking lots on its two sides were full, so had to park in front of ALDI. There were outdoor seatings available. Arrived after the promised time, the order was ready on the Rapid Pick-Up shelves.

    My first visit to this location and I really enjoyed the quietness of the restaurant on a weekday morning. They service was good and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. There is a lot of seating and when your done you can walk to Aldi for your next errand!

    Excellent and speedy service here! Stopped by earlier to grab my free coffee (I signed up for the monthly subscription...totally worth it by the way)! I was greeted right away. Shoutout to Rulx! Thank you! There's ample outdoor seating, as well as dining in. Curbside is also available. Plenty of parking here! I like this Panera. I'll be back!

    (Note the other reviews that mention parking) I was getting my car inspected down the road and walked over to wait at Panera. The parking lot is pretty full but there is a lot of seating and a good atmosphere inside. Friendly staff too! Just got a coffee and parfait so pretty standard but still good vibes and nice place to wait.

    Mens restroom is so disgusting! Not pleasing to see before eating!

    I would advise to not use the men restroom before eating it is sooo dirty and disgusting! I had to leave right after. Imagine how dirty it must be when getting your food ready .

    The only two leather chairs had our names on them.

    This Panera was clean and service was prompt. We stopped in close to the dinner hour on a Saturday night. We had been to three festivals in the area and we were beat. At first we stopped by a coffee house in Greenbelt, but it was noisy and crowded so we left and came here. Smart decision. I was a bit apprehensive when, from my window seat, I saw a motor coach pull up and a team of Goucher volleyball players bounded off. Thankfully they didn't sit near us, and we enjoyed our comfy leather chairs. I got my favorite tea, and a free bear claw, thanks to the Panera Rewards card program. Happy birthday to me! The bear claw wasn't my first choice, but they were out of my favorite scone. In fact, their pastry counter was pretty bare. The bear claw was OK, but I will stick with my scone.

    Clam chowder, turkey, coffee
    Jerry S.

    The shopping strip is still under construction, so be cautious. I have no clue why this yuppie shop would want to be next to Aldi. Coffee is light bodied but OK Clam chowder is good, tender clams and decent thickening, but it ain't Luke's. The turkey sandwich is tasty but the filling is a bare 1/4" thick. It's totally unfair for me to review the baguette. It would be OK if you didn't know better, but I have had bread in France still warm from the oven, proof that flour, yeast, water, and heat can produce a miracle rather than a Wonder. Theirs fails in crispness of crust, texture of crumb, and flavor, matching only in the shape of the loaf. It's almost like real French bread had mated with American spitball white. Call the Committee of Public Safety and set up the guillotine! Service was almost smothering as this newbie tried to comprehend the menu. Can't see becoming a regular.

    Very poorly packaged. Bread was just ripped and thrown into the bag without been wrapped or bagged separately.

    Service was poor. The cashier got the order wrong for many customers including us and the food quality was below mediocre.

I ordered the pastichio and spanakopita and omgggg it's so good. The pastichio came with pita and side salad. I am obsessed; it hits every single time. I love the crisp edges on the top of the pastichio and the way the pasta and bechamel melt into the meat - it's very satisfying. I ordered my food directly on their site for pickup. It was ready when it said it would be and everyone was kind in handing it off and letting me know where the utensil and napkins are if needed. The restaurant is cute. My friend and I have sat outside to eat once to enjoy our food and it was relatively calm and quiet. I love this place so much and maybe someday I'll stray from my usual but ehhh it's ok.

The nice crust on the pork, fries, and fresh chopped veggies separate this gyro for me. Definitely worth a stop next time you're not sure what to eat. The menu is very complete, something for everyone. The service is always prompt and friendly. The gyros, calamari, and other items are cooked to order, so you can call ahead if you don't want to wait. The sitting area is not very big, but I believe they have arranged the space to make it comfortable without being too crowded. Very cute Greek decorated with a beautiful picture of Greece for a complete Greek experience. 100/10 recommend

That's pretty reasonable. Every dish was well prepared and nicely flavored. No mushy vegetables here. Yucca fries: not greasy, nice and crispy. Good with any of their dipping sauces. Fried rice: very tasty dish with hints of chicken. Black beans, really tender and nicely flavored. Broccoli: super delicious super food, done perfectly, not mushy and just the right amount of crunch. Green beans: such an easy dish and they nailed it. Plantains: who doesn't like a good fried plantain? These were awesome! And the cookie is a sweet deal too. Go for it. I wasn't surprised to see a large number of to go orders at their pick up desk. The word is out on how great their food is here. Plenty of parking in their private lot on Baltimore road.

    I have always preferred this location. Results across locations has been inconsistent for years…read more This time in Beltsville I ordered two have chicken white. The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

The food was soooo delicious. The steak was a little tough but otherwise everything was excellent. The fried strawberry biscuits were a game changer as a birthday treat. Will definitely need to plan my return visit.

    This place has been around for a good bit now and the food delivers!…read more The restaurant has plenty of parking. It's easy to find the inside is a casual dining, ambience, and environment. However, I would say that the music plays from a little Bluetooth on the corner of the restaurant and it's not the greatest quality, would cut in and out, and it was just blaring way too loud, making it hard to have regular conversations. Service wasn't too bad overall. There was only one weight staff who had all the tables in the restaurant which made her spread out pretty thin. But we wouldn't get regular refills or Water and took so long to get water (waiting up to 20 min to try to get her attention) and at the end of our time together she finally gave us a pitcher of Water, but a little late as we're most done. Also, it took a while to get basic things we had ordered coffee but either she forgot to bring us coffee or she didn't ring it in and we weren't able to get it until after our food was delivered. So service, while she was friendly and kind, our service was definitely subpar. Hopefully this wasn't bc she had automatic tip bc our party was so large for her lack of service. 1/5 for service The food was amazing for the most part. I had gotten the salmon BLT and it was moist and tender with good flavor and seasoning, and the bread had a great texture and flavor to it as well. The bacon was nice and smoky and the sauce that was paired with it made it great. The hashbrowns were so crispy and seasoned with great flavor and salt! This was a winner! 4.5/5 Yeah, I got a bunch of other dishes, but I only tried small bites here and there of other people stuff. What I would say, is that the Cajun pasta shrimp was cooked perfectly and was tender and had great flavor! And that sauce was amazing! The sausage I tried wasn't the best but decent! We got biscuits and wings as appetizers, and the wings were great, good flavor, good crunch, and a decent size. However, there needs to be more wings in the order for the price. The hot honey sauce as good! 4/5 The biscuits were pretty moist and had a great texture and consistency, You get two for the order! 4/5 Overall, the food is pretty amazing. However, the service was pretty bad. Maybe this was a one off but just prepared for a long waits for everything from water to getting a drink order.

I was finally in the area and got a chance to go in person and wow, the experience of eating the food fresh there was even better - although I must say this food does travel very well. I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC!
