Chicken Strawberry poppy salad
Myra C.

Spending a Saturday with my fam, we eat inside instead of take out. The food was good, the ambiance was chill. You can't go wrong going to paneras.

Broccoli cheddar soup and toasted frontaga chicken sandwich

Panera is honestly the best. It's amazing in the states compared to Canada. It's def a first stop for me when I go to the states. The food is soo flash and tasty , I'd def go back multiple visit$ before I end my trip in the states

This is Panera branch seems smaller than other branches but I think the lack of indoor seating is made up by the MANY outdoor seating options. They have patio tables and chairs outdoors, which I can see would be great for warmer weather. This particular branch gets a lot of natural sunlight as well, which was great for working. They have seats along the windows and it was very bright. The interior design of this branch is a lot more modern than other Panera branches. The basics are pretty much the same, but their booth seats and tables definitely seem newer and cleaner. I would say one of the down sides of this branch is that there aren't enough outlets, but as long as you're not planning to work here for the whole day, I don't think it's a big issue. The service here is great too. All the employees I've encountered were friendly and nice, and were very patient with the customers. The seats along the windows are one connected seat (if that makes sense), so wherever you sit, you would feel people getting up and down, which was a bit uncomfortable but not a huge issue. The music is on the louder side than other Paneras too, so make sure you don't need a super quiet environment to talk or work. Otherwise, overall positive experience. :)

Turkey chili, oh yeah.
Steven M.

I've been on a bit of a Panera kick recently and last weekend was the Cheektowaga location. We came here in the afternoon to a good amount of people inside. The staff was quick and friendly and a bread bowl filled with turkey chili and some orange juice was my meal of choice. The food only took a couple of minutes to come out and before I knew it I was absolutely stuffed. The turkey chili was delicious and the fact that it was being eaten out of a bread bowl made it that much better. The chili was the perfect proportion of turkey, veggies, and scrumptious chili sauce (I honestly have no idea what to refer to it as). I was a big fan of the Cheektowaga location thanks to its massive seating section, friendly staff, and of course the food good. Everyone likes Panera and this location will not let you down.

Stopped by to grab lunch and the place was quite big. You could order from the tabs and the food came out very quickly. The pasta was fresh and tasty. The veg sandwich was quite flavorful and the soup in a bread bowl took the price. Overall, good experience.

After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.

The salad was packed with so many different Italian combinations of garnish that it was a meal in itself! The rice balls were shared with a local bartender on the way home and they were a big hit! Again, the owner went above and beyond to fill our bags to the brim. The food was cooked from the freshest ingredients.

The owner and his staff are charming and the restaurant encourages you to bring a picture of your Mom or Grandmother to include on the wall of much loved family. You may even recognize someone you know on that wall. Highly recommend stopping in and either taking your food home or relaxing and eating in.

Getting there just after 1PM on a Monday there was a line inside, to the door to place orders... the wait afterwards was about 10 minutes. I love bologna sandwiches and I also really enjoy a nice beef on Weck, so I was happy they offered a mini beef sandwich, still on kummelweck, which I got along with their bologna sandwich with provolone, onions, and peppers on it. The bologna sandwich was flame grilled and tasted excellent! I added jalapeños to it for a little kick, as well as some mayo and that made the sandwich really tasty! I started with their split pea soup - It was really good! It had big chunks of smokey, flavorful ham in it and the texture was thick and the flavor was great! I also tried a side of their mustard potato salad and it was decent, but I think it had pimentos or pickles in it, which I don't prefer. Last up - That mini beef sandwich - AWESOME! The bun really added the excellent flavor you'd expect from having the meat on that type of roll. The beef was tender and so flavorful! They also have horseradish on the tables, so I added a bunch of it and that really made the flavor pop! Service was excellent and very friendly here. I'd highly recommend stopping in!

I loved their weck..it had the perfect amount of salt on top. The roast beef was packed on well and had nice flavor. I got a side of fries and I found them to be pretty basic which is why I gave 4 stars, just nothing special to the fries I wish they would do something to spice that up a bit. But other than that it was excellent! The vibe inside is also really unique. Pretty open concept and easy to order for take out as well. I didn't try their desserts but they looked delicious and they had a lot of different options! We went on a Saturday evening and I was worried it would be packed but it really wasn't. Parking was plentiful and there wasn't a line to order either. Our food came out in about 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend stopping in to get a beef on weck!

A new location and a new look. Off The Wall Sandwich is a sparkling clean and colorful restaurant…read more With vibrant wall art, and striking lighting, the interior has an energetic vibe. This is a busy spot for classic American favorites: burgers, sandwiches and wings. From my previous experience, I knew it's worth checking the menu beforehand. For someone who is trying to make healthier choices, but not salad, this might be a good idea. I remember the last time I had the Classic Grilled Cheese Melt. This time, to avoid beef, bacon, or fried chicken, I decided to substitute a burger with grilled chicken breast for an additional $1. The Frenchie was my choice. I asked for the included Bison dip on the side and added Grilled Cremini Mushrooms for another $1. I simply couldn't find any ready-made combinations that suited my taste. All the burgers, melts and sandwiches come with your choice of fries or tater tots. We waited longer than expected for our food. The restaurant started filling up after we arrived. There were a lot of takeout orders while the dinner rush was starting. They should have a parallel system in the kitchen to keep the dining room moving at its own pace. Anyway, my sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The mushrooms and onions were flavorful, and the provolone cheese was melted and delicious. It's good that I asked to have the Bison dip on the side. We enjoyed the mountain of fries and onion rings (we really liked the breading on the onion rings). The Mac and Cheese was basic, but classic and very tasty. Unfortunately, our feedback on the Steak Hoagie was not so good. It wasn't as expected - a juicy, Buffalo-style, meat and cheese sub. My partner said that too much spice rub made the sandwich salty and dry. It wasn't the experience of dripping, shaved steak covered with lots of melted cheese, grilled peppers and onions. There was none of it. It was dry, smallish and disappointing. Our server Kimora took good care of us. She was smiling, and made our stay very pleasant.

If I'm nearby, I'd absolutely stop in again to try something else on the menu, which has some great looking options.

I've been getting emails with specials from Jessie's, so I decided to stop in one day I didn't bring lunch. There was not much ready-to-eat food, so I grabbed a chicken salad with crasins from the cooler, which was pretty good on the go. Today I placed a mobile order for chicken cordon blue sandwich with fries, got a text when it was ready for pick up, about 20 minutes later. They use an app called Takeout Taxi that's similar to DoorDash, very convenient when you only have 30 minutes for lunch, but you can't order the specials on the app. You can call ahead too. It's nice to have a place inside the building to get good food.
