Panera is a place that I have used more than once (OK, way more than once) to bring some food to an early morning business meeting to give that meeting a bit of a jumpstart and get everyone in a good mood and maybe (hopefully) be a bit more attentive. My go-to item to bring to these meetings is bagels with cream cheese. Being from New Jersey, I am a huge fan of bagels and while the bagels at Panera cannot compare to the great Jersey bagel shops, they are pretty good and to paraphrase Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" we ain't in New Jersey. I would definitely recommend their bagels, but cannot really comment too much on their lunch items as this place, at least for me, is more about breakfast than anything else. Still, I will give it four stars. Definitely a good option for breakfast. Check them out. read more

What in the Panera Bread Happy Meal is this?!? This literally looks like a sandwich I would have fed my son when he was a toddler. After browsing Jersey Mike's menu, I figured I'd just get what I actually want -- Panera Bread. I've never done the mix and match before, but I commonly do the pick two. The prices are lower on the mix and match, but there are less options. I picked the toasted Italiano and the bacon turkey bravo. They were advertised as $5 each for half sandwiches. That's a dollar or two difference per sandwich versus the pick two, which also advertises the half sandwiches. I looked up what a half size Italian at Panera should be -- six inches. If my sandwich was six inches, then I'm Mother Teresa. Don't make me go measure my hand, Panera Bread!! Maybe the sandwich maker got confused and thought it was half of a half?!? read more

I never write positive reviews and am trying to do a better job at it - this Panera was so great! The manager / front desk staff were so kind, tables and bathrooms were clean, food was just what we needed on our road trip. When my husband went to clean off our plates the manager ran over and insisted he do it! 10/10. read more

My daughter and I love to go to Panera Bread. I got really hooked on them while we lived in Nashville, so when given the chance..I stop. We went for lunch today to enjoy some Soup and Smoothies. She opted for the Cheddar Broccoli Soup and I went with the French Onion and we both got the Green Smoothies for the extra Protein. I love the Panera App also because I can get Points that will reward me with free food and discounts. The store was clean, the staff friendly and I will definitely go back again!!! read more

See all

What in the heck happened to this place? The worst food that was wayyyyy overpriced. Cheese wasn't close to being melted on sandwich- cold in the middle. Never again, Panera. Nobody should waste their time and money on this place. Sad. read more

I decided to try Panera Bread again. I ordered the Chicken Fuji Apple Salad and they forgot the chicken. I called and was not please with their response. I really like Panera Bread, however, I won't be back due to their inability to get my order correct. read more

If I didn't love the food I would never use their drive-thru! it is slow as molasses in January. it always is. in addition to being sooooo slow, on two different occasions I ordered soup and they didn't put a spoon in the bag and I had to drive back and go through that super slow process all over again. Today they also couldn't figure out to take my phone number for rewards purposes. The manager needs to get busy on this problem and correct it. read more

There was not a clean table in the dining room. The food was ok, but the baguette was not the same, it was cold and doughy. For the cost the quality has really gone downhill. read more

Ordered a simple BLT and cappuccino. The coffee was very good however the sandwich was a ripoff. Two very thin slices of Roma diameter tomato, one small leaf of lettuce and small piece of bacon. The ingredients did not even cover to the edges of the bread. Skimpy at best. The sandwich was more than 8$ with less than 1$ of ingredients. It was so thin you hardly knew it was a sandwich. Total order more than 14$. Total rip off. Food quality has gone way down hill read more

As chain restaurants go Panera is better than most other chains . I especially like their tuna salad sandwich .. I also like the corn chowder a lot ( it's seasonal. ) .. And the Agave Lemonade is the best lemonade ever read more

I was so disappointed! Food was skimpy and uninspired! Wasted my money for sure! Staff was nicer than many places. All in all? I won't return. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, and when we got here, there were only three people working. All three were working diligently, I might add. there was a line forming, and they just pressed on! Not one order made wrong or missing anything. The kine kept growing, and a few more workers came in. But the girl Keona working the register amongst other things was amazing! She was bustin' her ass and has an amazing personality! Listen up, Panera, this girl deserves a raise! read more

Very dirty! Utensils not clean. Don't have any condiments available. Didn't even have butter. Bread was stale. Like what? Management needs to change or improve the awful standards. I'm originally from Maryland and our Panera breads are amazing there. I've been having a horrible experience with Panera's in WV. read more

Consistently, they have messed up my order every time I've tried to eat there. This time they forgot the chicken in my Asian crunch chicken salad. read more

My "hot" cookie was cold ... and taste old. Bread was stale my kids were playing with it instead of eating. The turkey avocado sandwich was great could of been toasted though. Salad was great as always . I also felt rushed . read more

Panera Bread - Sorry that's the best I could do it I'll do better next time ha ha Ha - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

Krogers frozen meal section is tastier and cheaper than this. My fruit expired the next day causing it to look like it expired a week ago. I had a tablespoon of chicken on my sandwich. The macaroni and cheese was good but if they had to actually prepare it they would probably mess that up. I would have taken a picture but due to the disbelief of what I was given I had to leave the place before I I got a disorderly. $30 for a frozen meal basically. read more

Most times I've been here everything has been delicious and perfect. The one time things took a little longer than expected due a minor mistake, the manager caught the issue and fixed it immediately, and was super nice about it too. The space is bright, cheerful, and clean and the pod is always good. read more

I ordered this through GrubHub and the guy got there to pick up my food and it wasn't ready, the employee told him it would be another 30 minutes almost, when I asked him if they were busy he said no one was in line to order. No more from this location again. read more

Don't go here. Takes forever, they are not concerned about bad customer service and it is dirty. Food is just ok but pricey.

Super annoyed that I walked in at 11:02 and the woman refused to put in a breakfast order. Is it really that serious? Panera, get on the breakfast train and serve it all day. Usually love Panera but I'm not about it right now. Go to First Watch if you want good food. Also I was forced to write this while hangry. read more

Typical over priced good food great atmosphere but if you have to wait over an hour for your order to become ready then there should at least be a monitor or yelp list to show you where you are on the list. The system here of preparing orders is horrible for the customer if there are more than about 4 or 5 customers in the place. A cluster of confused people wandering aimlessly wondering if they missed their name being called. Tables were filthy. Cleaning that gave us something to do in the hour we waited. I Order was wrong and incomplete but at this point, who cares anymore. Get us out of here. read more

Too much on the menu until it's overwhelming. The bread was stale and tough. The sandwich was loaded down with something green which I raked off. The food costs too much. My club had a lunch meeting in the back room and someone else had a bright idea to bring something from Arby's. He had best meal. read more

My friends and I have ordered a macaroni & cheese and a Caesar salad and it took 55 minutes to get them. Not only was it my mac & cheese not room temp. It was cold. read more

Panera is a little pricey, but the food is good and generally reliable. I am so glad they brought the Cuban sandwich back to the menu. My new go to is a a pick 2 with Spicy Thai chicken salad and a Cuban. I only wish that they pressed the Cuban. read more

I would give them negative stars if I could. I spent $60 on bagels and they won't give me plates. I'm only allowed to have 6 plastic knives to go with 3 dozen bagels. This place is like this every time! #NEVERAGAIN!! #TERRIBLESERVICE read more

Really appreciated the manager this evening taking every precaution to make my veggie Mediterranean sandwich. I'm allergic to tuna and understand cross contamination. She did to! She sanitized the area she was making my dinner and went the extra mile to get fresh items from the back so I would be safe. This means a lot to me. I wish everyone would take allergies as serious as she did this evening. read more

This Panera has great service and great food. I would recommend this Panera if you are in a hurry and need some place to eat real quick.

I was in today and over heard a manager telling 2 young employees to scrub mold off the wall the lobby looks clean but I'm guessing since the manager told them to scrub mold off the wall the back is nasty I'm not coming back for a long time read more

Don't waste your money! I ordered online for delivery with Door Dash (free delivery for first 30 days). The delivery worked great. The food was a huge disappointment! I ordered a salad, 2 sandwiches, and a bread bowl soup. Not cheap, not even close! The sandwiches were sloppily made, falling apart, very light on ingredients, the wrong ingredients, and were not tasty. The soup had more liquid than ingredients and the shredded chicken was non existent! It had the taste of pure salt. My only comment was, a can of soup would be better! The bread bowl didn't make the trip, but a hard, cold, stale, torn into two pieces "baguette" was thrown in the bag (loose) on top of the plastic utensils! All of the food sucked. This is not the Panera Bread of the past! Supporting our restaurants is a good thing. However, they have to do their part to. An apology wouldn't cut it, a refund would! So done with even trying to get reasonably priced, good food in Charleston. So far, they all suck! read more

The food at Panera is always good. This facility was just plain dirty when we came in. Dirty tables, trash all over the floor. I have come to expect excellence from Panera. I was very disappointed at this store. read more

After spending the day in the WV hills I was grateful to find a Panera! As always the food is delicious. This was a much welcomed change from the never ending biscuits and gravy sold in this state. read more

Over priced, but decent food. Need to bring back the Chili, and hire friendly employees, some in "management" roles need to be personable. read more

I was more or less trapped in the area for 2 nights, and Panera was my only reasonably nearby choice. The first meal consisted of dry bread and mystery meat. Terrible. The meat was tasteless and the bread was dry and tasteless. For the second night, I got a pastrami sandwich and, for backup, a grilled cheese sandwich for take out (who can screw up a grilled cheese, right?) I ended up leaving the pastrami sandwich on the table after only 2 bites. Back at my hotel room, I eagerly dove into the grilled cheese and dove right back out again. The sandwich consisted of 2 slices of dry bread with an unmelted piece of cheese between them. For supper, I ended up eating peanut butter crackers from the vending machine and counted myself lucky for that. Never, ever again will I chance a Panera. Zero for 3 is convincing enough for me. read more

Don't most free standing Panera's have a drive thru now? This one either missed the remodel or opted out all together. Aside from the fact that a lack of drive thru is a huge inconvenience for me, this site is pretty similar to others I been to across the country. Service is fairly speedy even when they're busy and the food is typical. read more

This Panera Bread was average. The customer service was nothing to brag about. The food was good. Serving sizes were ample and salads appeared fresh. Our Cobb salad had more chicken than what we usually receive in the same salad near home. Pleasant surprise. I did hear the staff tell a patron they had no drinks besides what was in the soda fountain machine and lemonade. All other drink bins were noticeably empty. The waitress stated they were out of almost everything. The place was mostly clean. read more

Terrible customer service from Tamicka, so rude and hateful about any question that was asked of her. Typically Panera Bread employees are friendly and approachable but I won't be returning due to this experience with such an awful employee. read more
