    Toasted Frontega Chicken and Autumn Squash Soup
    Tamara E.

    The location was bright and clean. The employee that was working the register was friendly and welcoming. For food we both ordered from the "you pick 2" menu. I got the Frontega Chicken (no onions) and the Autumn Squash Soup. My husband had the Ciabatta Cheesesteak and the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup. To drink he had a soda pop and I had the Blueberry Lavender Lemonade. Both sandwiches were good but nothing special. They were hot and all items were in proportion. The meats were lightly seasoned and the bread was toasted to Panera standards. The Frontega has been my go to for years and I have to say I miss the old recipe-i'm not a fan of the new one. The Autumn Squash Soup was DELICIOUS! I wish it came around more often. It is flavorful and the garnish brings it to the next level. The Chicken & Wild Rice Soup was hearty and good but had an interesting surprise in it. We weren't sure if it was a giant chunk of cardboard (this is my thoughts based on texture) or a large bone, but we found a large object in the soup which was a turn off. My Blueberry Lavender Lemonade was DISGUSTING! I had two sips (my husband could only stand 1) and had to throw it away. It tasted like a lavender candle. I will be returning but Panera will not be my 1st choice with my favorite sandwich just being ok now, and definitely will be passing on the special lemonade.

    Panera bread is a pleasant addition to the dining landscape of Carson City. My wife and I were there on a cold and blustery day. We had some hot onion soup that tasted great. We also had two different breakfast sandwiches. The staff was pleasant and helpful and everybody knew their role in making the guests happy. In short, when we're in Carson City, we will definitely be thinking about having lunch at the Panera bread store.

    Geez why is Panera so expensive. The pick two isn't really a deal. A small side of Mac n cheese was over $8.00 and they give you bread with everything. So if you love bread this is your spot. All of of their soups contain dairy and gluten which was disappointing if you have food sensitivities. Although it does seem vegetarian friendly. I will say that this location is brand new and it's super nice inside and big. They do bake their own bread and have a large treat section. It's also a drive thru and right on the corner of the intersection. It is a healthy option for Carson and another quick place to eat is nice.

    My order

    Food was good. Panera has a good product. However, service is another matter. This place is perpetually slow. Every time I have gone there it takes a while to get anything. This is my first Yelp on it. I made an online order at 4:17pm. I asked for it to be ready at 5pm in the drive thru. I arrived at the drive up at 4:55pm and waited for one customer ahead of me. At 5pm I was at the window and was told my food wasn't ready, go sit in the parking lot. I waited 7 minutes. I go and ask where is my food? Who are you? I'm G Meyer, I have an online order I made at 4:17 to be ready at 5:00. Am I still waiting for it? She tells me they are starting on my food now. She offered me cookie to placate me like I was five. How long does it take to have something ready at 5:00pm? A total disappointment in online ordering. Honest to God, you can take lessons from Wendys.

    Since I'm in the area, decided to order online from my phone. Went inside to pick up order and the bagels were ready, but not the drinks. It all worked out, and I was able to get my drinks while waiting. I did ask for almond milk, and they used regular... so I'm taking those oldies too! The cinnamon crunch lattes are really good! I also got the cherry vanilla bagels, and of course cinnamon crunch.

    Day 1!

    For day one and the crowds they had everthing running pretty smooth! Drive thru was wrapped as expected, but we found some seats inside. Employees were all nice, and the food was solid as always. They were out of several soups so be aware first day jitters!

    Pleasantly surprised. Clean bright Panera with plenty of parking. Service was fast and friendly. Not many baked items left at 1800 on a Sunday evening, but they had something I wanted. Dining room seemed clean and well kept. All in all a good experience.

    I see this restaurant has many negative reviews, but the two times I have been here (October 31, 2022--two weeks after the grand opening--and today), and the service was excellent. This restaurant is in a new plaza (Cochise Crossing) on the south end of Carson City, by US route 50/I-580 and South Carson Street. It only opened on October 17, 2022, and was the company's second location in northern Nevada (with the one at UNR in Reno being the first a month earlier). There are two more Panera Breads planned for Reno and Sparks. I went in the early morning today and got a pastry to go (pumpkin cookie for the fall!). The manager was walking by and greeted me. I looked at all the pastries and bagels, which were freshly baked, full stocked, and thoughtfully displayed, and made my choice. I chose the self-service stations, as there were three, and only one was taken. Otherwise, there were two people ahead of me in line, but I noticed it went quickly. The self-service station was easy to use, well lit, intuitive, and clean. Almost as soon as I placed the order, I went to the pick-up hutch by the kitchen window. There was a computer display showing the status of my order. The manager saw me looking at the ready pick-up items and told me there was an order waiting with the name "Megan" she thought was mine, but it wasn't. She then quickly handed my finished order right to me. It couldn't have been more than a minute since I placed the order that it was ready! I forgot to test the free wifi, but I will next time. The restaurant itself was spotless, as was the parking lot. It was brightly lit. The store was well staffed, and the employees worked fast and were well trained. It wasn't too busy--mostly customers getting food before heading off to work. A few tables were occupied. There was even a clear drive-thru, which many of the older Panera Breads do not have. Delivery is also available if you prefer, as well as catering. One thing I would like to mention, which has nothing to do with the restaurant, is this business can be a little tricky to enter, since the entire small plaza it is in is on Cochise Street, but is blocked by Dutch Bros. Coffee on W. Appion Way. Most people will come to this location via S. Carson Street, and turn onto W. Appion, then think they can enter the plaza on W. Appion, but there is that aforementioned Duch Bros. Coffee, which is not part of the plaza. If you enter that restaurant, there is no way to get to Panera Bread. You have to turn onto Cochise St. after driving on W. Appion. No biggie, but I just wanted people who are unfamiliar with the location, like me, to know. I will definitely return to this restaurant, as it is a clean location with excellent service, good food, and plenty of space to work.

    Not very much chicken salad on that sandwich.   Lots of lettuce.

It isn't a fancy place, but the food more than makes up for it, delivering consistently great flavor and quality The chef clearly knows what she's doing. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, well-prepared, and full of authentic flavor. Having traveled through Asia, I'd say this is some of the most genuine Indonesian food you'll find locally. Favorites include the Chicken Satay (Sate Ayam), rich and tender Rendang, Grilled Pork, and the Lemongrass Pan-Tossed Shrimp. Each dish is bold, balanced, and a refreshing change from typical options in the area. Service is another highlight. Barry at the front is always welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Pro tip: order online ahead of time since everything is made fresh to order. It's worth the short wait if you don't. If you're looking for something different in Carson City, Bali Express is a must-try and a great local business to support.

    "Selamat Makan" is roughly Bon Appetit in Indonesian…read more Although I was born in the US, my parents are from Indonesia, so my upbringing was centered around family gatherings and tons of delicious Indonesian Cuisine. When I heard all the rave reviews of Bali Express in Carson, we had to try it. What started as a Food Truck, Bali Express has found a permanent home in a space shared with Fuego Street Tacos. An interesting set up but it works. There is a nice amount of seating and the two vendors seem to make it work. Nice. We ordered one of my wife's favorite dishes, Beef Rendang. Tender beef simmered for hours (and hours) in a thick, soy sauce based sauce. Done properly, it has rich flavors and in this case, just a touch of Sambal (Chili sauce). The flavors were authentic but the meat was not as tender as I would have hoped. It wasn't bad but a hallmark of Rendang perfection is the tenderness of the meat. While it was fine for me, unfortunately the heat was a bit too much for my wife, who ultimately could not eat the dish because it was too spicy. Indonesian cuisine is inherently spicy (when cooked properly), so buyer be ware. We also ordered Gado Gado. A very traditional Vegetable Salad kind of dish. Gado Gado is one of those dishes that can vary from the availability of vegetables, to regional differences to differences in recipes handed down from generation to generation. As such, while this was not the same as my "mom would make", it was pretty darn close. Based on shredded cabbage, there was a plentiful amount of tofu, potatoes (nice touch), seasoned hard boiled egg and other treats. The dish is topped with a peanut sauce. I would definitely order again but wished the sauce had a richer, more peanuty taste. This is a 100% a personal preference thing and not a criticism of the dish. The Gado Gado is great. We also tried the Shrimp Tempura. While not Indonesian, the Shrimp Tempura was well executed. Lightly breaded, the shrimp was fried to have a nice crispy snap to the coating but not at all greasy. The flavor was rich and light and served with a sweet sauce. Today, my parents have both passed so my opportunities for authentice Indonesian is pretty limited. Bali Express is the real deal. Authentic Indonesian Cuisine. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Selamat Makan

Our server, sorry forgot your name, was helpful and able to answer our questions, we decided on a few items and our party of six shared them. We ordered two pizzas (pepperoni and a capitol combo), we got the pretzel, caesar salad, BBQ brewmaster plate and a few beers. First off the pizzas are delicious and easy choice for anyone who comes here, it will not miss. The bbq platter was also very good, the portions are not huge but each sausage was tasty. The pig wings were tender and flavorful with the hot honey sauce. The pretzel was also great and paired with the stone ground mustard from the bbq plate was excellent. The only item that I think I would change would be the Memphis wings, they were on the salty side for all of us, the flavor is there but a lil too salty, I think the hot honey sauce would have been a hit on those wings. We tried a few beers the lager, Juicy IPA and an amber ale. I skipped the lager, my dad enjoyed his brew. As for the other two, I found them to be refreshing with a nice balance of hops for each of them and a great companion to the dishes we ordered. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stop by.

We get seated at a nice table near the front. My friend already knows the menu, so I go with hos suggestion for the Lunch special Duck with sauce over rice. It's $22 bucks, so it better be good! He has the Thai battered salmon for around $19. Soup is included and it's just a veggie broth, though tasty. Then our lunch specials come out. Oh wow, that duck look really good. It's totally deboned, so no messing with bones at all. The sauce was super tasty. My friend said he thinks its some sort of duck juice reduction with other added stuff. Whatever, this was one of the most tasty duck dishes I've ever had. His salmon was unique, I never saw a dish like that made with salmon. The coating was very unique and crispy and the salmon not over cooked. Overall, I really liked this place. I think my crew is having lunch at one of the local casinos, I'd rather be here!

The basket of wings was cold in the middle and tasted as though they had simply been microwaved. They also tasted old and lacked freshness. The Jump Up and Kiss Me Chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. The flavor was just okay, but there was nothing particularly special about the dish. Service The service was very poor. Our waitress repeatedly rolled her eyes and barely checked on us to see if everything was okay. I had to repeatedly get up myself to ask for condiments, refreshments, and napkins. Management I was also disappointed with how the manager handled my concerns. After I explained our experience, her response was essentially, "Okay, I'll pass along your comments." She did not seem concerned or interested in making the situation better. Unfortunately, I understood why the service was so poor after speaking with the manager. A manager should set the standard for customer service, and in this case, I did not feel that there was much care or concern for the customers. I used to love going to Reds when they had the previous manager. He was always kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about the customers. The food was also delicious and tasted fresh. It's disappointing to see how much the experience has changed. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously because Reds used to be a place I genuinely enjoyed visiting.
