The people working there wasn't very friendly, they threw my food in the bag when i very kindly asked if i can have it togo. the food was good but the service is terrible read more

The prices of food and drinks here is outrageous overpriced. For two people to eat it was over $50.00. Portions are extremely small for the price. It was tasty. Poor clerk had trouble getting the order right but finally did. Not recommending due to the cost. read more

Amazing service! The staff there is so friendly! My favorite place to eat! Kayla always greets me and tells me to have a nice day when I leave. read more

Don't go here if you're in school I guess. parked my car, started walking in, made it halfway to the door, and got screamed at by a lady claiming to be a manager. I just wanted some tea after class man. Overall I'm happy I got my overpriced tea but not so happy I got screamed at by a deranged manager. Just don't show any signs of going to college If you want to go here I guess. To the "manager" lady who droves the red SUV: Not cool man, get a grip. read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast while in Big Rapids. Promptly greeted by a smiling employee, asked up front if I had rewards with them, took my order. Did I tip today? Yes, she deserved it! Not often do you see such kindness at a fast casual. Food came up quickly, they called my name and the gal in the kitchen and told me to have a nice day. When leaving, same gal at the front cash register smiled and also wished me a nice day. Restaurant was very clean! Food was hot and quality. Much better than the Knapp Corner location in Grand Rapids; they should send their management to this location to learn what employees should be like and how to clean a restaurant. Kudos Big Rapids Panera!! read more

Too much chipotle sauce on the sandwiches and they were Soggy, not enough meat and the service was slow.

I ordered the green goddess Cobb salad with no egg and extra onion. I got it and it had no chicken and no onion and had egg. I called up to make sure nothing changed with what was supposed to come on it and let them know. Took about 5 calls before someone answered and the person that answered didn't even know and had to ask someone else. 3 employees finally agreed chicken should have came on it - no one offered to remake it or me to bring it back or a free one next time nothing. Not like Panera at all... read more

Panera Bread has raised their prices through the roof and shrunk their portions to half. I ordered a U Pick 2 - Tuna sandwich and chicken noodle soup. The soup had next to nothing in it and the sandwich had no more than an ounce. I complained to the manager and she insisted that they were to Corporate guidelines. This location used to be good but it stinks now!l read more

Maybe because I'm totally bias but I really do love Panera and our location is one of the best in my opinion. I always receive amazing service! It's clean! I don't think I've ever had an issue with poor service or unfriendliness. One of the many things I love about Panera is the organization's policies about food waste. Our local pantries, women's shelter, and churches are able to partake of the leftovers that would otherwise be thrown into the trash! Why more businesses don't do this is beyond me! Come to think of it, there is one other in town. Nawal's Mediterranean Grill is the only other in town that I have personally witnessed deliver to the women's shelter. So supporting these businesses means keeping them in business which means supporting our local needy. It doesn't get much better than that!! read more

Usually stop here on a road trip. Stopped for breakfast. Long line. Got breakfast with soft cooked egg. See photo attached. Got three meals to go. Did not tip bag over or rough it up in any way. A few miles down the road opened up and found very soft egg all over to go box. Not possible to eat. When opening, egg yolk got all over lap. They need to find a different to go box or skip this menu item entirely. Not happy. read more

Panera Bread - Egg sandwich. - Salad Near Me - Big Rapids, Michigan

Low stars due to extremely long wait lines, both for ordering and for getting food. Came in before the lunch rush, stood in line behind two other people for at least 15 minutes. Then waited 20 minutes for food. After all that I made the mistake of trying to grab a tea to go. Another 10 minutes in line and 15 minutes for the tea. I should have just left, but I already paid. Frustrating. I know the people felt bad because the guy who made my tea made it a larger size due to the wait, but I really would've preferred not waiting 25 minutes and had the regular size. I suggest this site get more staff who are trained to run the registers. Also, other Panera sites seem to be able to make drinks and not make someone wait behind all the food orders, drive thru orders, etc for a cup of coffee or whatnot. Another reason for the low stars: food quality was okay, but my kids' Mac and Cheese was fairly cold by the time we were served. read more

Eating while out of town is never easy trying to find healthier food or food for picky people. I ordered a few sandwiches on the better side of the low calorie train but some mac n cheese for a little one. This is the reason why the 3 stars came up. Though the rest of the food was your same old food they serve which I never have a problem with...this location seemed to skimp on the serving size. When asked if I wanted a small or large serving and I stated large...don't fill the container up 1/4 to 1/2 way. Basically they fit a small portion into a larger bowl. What a rip off of a meal which I ended up having to tear off some of my sandwich to share. What should have been my own meal I had to split with the little one so she would be full for the night. read more

Panera Bread - Big bowl...supposed to be a large with little serving - Salad Near Me - Big Rapids, Michigan

I love Paneras salads. When ever I am near a Panera, I go thru the drive thru and get one. The service is always great and everyone is friendly. The sandwiches are fantastic and I try a new one each time. I was so relieved to find a Panera in Big Rapids after moving to this area three years ago. read more

The clerk behind the counter was very helpful and polite, so energetic. They had run out of coffee and he quickly brewed some up but it turns out it was not brewed enough so what Ive ended up with is a weak cup of coffee read more

always out of bread. it's called panera bread for a reason. I understand if they're closing in an hour or two and run out, but when you come in at 1pm and they don't close until 9, it's kind of a problem. this has happened more than 4 times. smh. read more

Amazing management! My order was missing a soup and I approached the manager wondering how I could it. He instantly got right on it and before I could even sit down, he was on his way and brought it personally to my table and brought two free cookies. This location is always clean, efficiently ran, and great service. read more

We both had the soup in a bread bowl. It was good and filling. I had a turkey sandwich. It was good but on the small side for the price. New building so very nice. read more

I have a relative that works there and it is terrible from what they have told me. They have gotten written up for the most retarded place like is you call a customer a customer and not a guest you get written up which is bull read more

Bought a new recipe item, thinking what the heck what can go wrong. I bought a sandwich, 2 drinks and 1 bag of chips to only get a over peppered sandwich that I soon threw away after my first bite. The ice latte I ordered was watered down. They forgot the chips, but the coke was fine. They burned my money for the last time. read more

Great food at fair prices. You will love the smell when you walk in. Under good management.

Stopped for dinner on our way up to northern Michigan. Kids always like the soup bread bowls, but today the servings were small, but soup was yummy! I got one of their fall salads, it tasted great! I added onion and avocado to the salad! read more
