We have been coming often recently because of their salad stuffers that my little really likes. Even for the bare minimum it's a bit pricy but they enjoy it and eat everything. The location is majority always clean, their kiosks are down more often than not, but overall service is good. No actual complaints with the location vs company pricing. read more

Hate when there's no quality control in place. I was really hungry so I ate it. But for the price I felt like I was robbed. read more

This place is awesome! Love the soups and the salads. The app is excellent and you can order before you go. It is my go to place for a quick lunch with friends. I also go here when I need to study; I throw on my ear buds and enjoy a coffee. read more

Great service! Everyone is so nice and helpful to non-frequenters like me!! Also, it is rare when the food item actually looks like the photo, so thank you! read more

So I came in to get a remake of my Flatbread pizza due to it having cilantro and I can't bare the taste of it. Well while waiting the worker comes and gets a chocolate chip muffin. However there are several gnats (flying bugs) resting on top of them. The worker literally fanned them away and proceeded to grab one and place it into someone to go order. For this reason alone I wish I could give a 0. The amount of disgust I felt is astounding. Last time ordering from this location. Young lady who did it had purple and pink highlights in her hair wearing a visor today also. Name started with a T.... clean house literally Panera this was unacceptable. read more

Panera Bread - Open air infested with flying gnats - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Panera Bread is Panera Bread, ambience is meant to be consistent to a standard - muted light yellow walls, fireplace in a seating area, coffee and tea station across from the order counter that has overhead board display of standard fare: salads, warm bowls, sandwiches, soups, beverages, pick 2 and accompanying close up pictures of their selections. But what made this location slightly different from others is that it's tucked away in a strip of stores that are a mix of restaurant (it's next to a Japanese restaurant, diagonal to a Chili's restaurant and a mix of quick eats places like Subway, Moe's, Tropical Cafe...and while there are lots of choices for patrons, this location manages to have a steady stream of customers. The service is slow, there wasn't anyone on the ready at the counter to take your order BUT once your order is taken the order comes out in minutes! I ordered the chicken Mediterranean salad which has quinoa and arugula salad as a base, chicken, cherry tomatoes, black olives, hummus and sour cream. All was standard. read more

My first time EVER going into the building. I have had them delivered before. Honestly it was pretty overwhelming for my first time. I was being rushed to order but after I ordered I had no clue what to do! I started to follow others! Then I leaned you walk back to and wait for your buzzer to go off and you pick up your food from the high bar. I get like we were all sitting on top of each other. Then putting the dishes in the container was interesting I was trying to not touch all the other dirty dishes and not break the ones I was putting in. Overall I always love the food, but don't think I would eat inside again. They do take Apple Pay! read more

Panera Bread - Cheddar broccoli soup - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Remote worksite while in the area. Parking lot was crowded but had some spaces. Counter ordering had a line; thankfully, they also had self-serve kiosks which made for a quick transaction. Liked earning rewards points for future freebies. Loved having the "real mug" for coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the light roast was empty until after I paid. Notified an employee and it was swapped out for a fresh pot in under 3 minutes. Indoor dining room was a long interesting layout with varying seating configurations: some booths, some tables/chairs, some combos of each. I opted for a 2 top bench table/chair combo in the very back near the gender specific restrooms. It was fairly quiet and comfy with ample space to spread out. WiFi reception was very good and allowed me to be productive for 90 minutes. Yes, I most certainly grabbed a Java refill. read more

Having worked all around the Southside I have had the pleasure of dining in, ordering out and having delivery from multiple Panera locations and honestly, this is by far, the worst one. Their 3 stars is due to their friendly (and fast) delivery drivers. If it would be based on quality of food, it would be a solid 2 (most days) and some days a 1. My latest order of fuji apple chicken salad came without onions even though I ordered extra. The order before that was missing a cream cheese. 2 orders before came out perfect. 3 orders before that had another Fuji apple chicken salad arriving without any chicken. My coworker also had a delivery last week of a breakfast sandwich that came wrong not once but twice. When the orders are right, I'm pleased but here lately, it happens less and less. This is the only location I've ever tried to get a bagel from at 8:15am only to find out there weren't any bagels. At all. Not a single bagel at 8am on a workday. How does that happen? If it was a rarity I could understand but just week before last I ordered a french toast bagel but they called to tell me there weren't any and did I have a backup? Sure, the cinnamon crunch. Guess what? That one was out too. My coworker tells me the delivery drivers are responsible for the QA check but with my missing onions he would have had to open the container and dig through the toppings to see if my onions were missing (see pic). read more

I used to eat at Panera all the time until their portion sizes got smaller and there prices became crazy expensive. There are always out of everything anytime I try to order too. This half sandwich is $8 and was basically 2 bites. I couldn't believe this was the sandwich I got for $8. Insane! Almost $20 now for a half of a sandwich and half salad these days. Ridiculous. read more

Decided to stop in yesterday after shopping for some to-go bagels, and I am happy I did! I got the Bakers' Dozen, and they were fresh, tasty, and sliced perfectly! I really love the Cinnamon Crunch ones! I also enjoyed my Bear Claw on my drive home! Fresh and tasty! Really love the sweetness with the almonds! I decided to try their Almond Vanilla Cold Brew and it was delicious! A nice refreshing flavor combination! The staff were very helpful, pleasant and had my order ready in no time! read more

I am very disappointed that Panera discontinued their vanilla almond cold brew. That was the main reason I would order breakfast from them. It's not worth ordering from them otherwise. read more

They would get more than 1 start if they actually listened to what you ordered. I ordered the pick 2 meal, and pointed to grilled cheese and bacon sandwich on the board and said "I'll have that" and mac and cheese. When I said I wanted a sandwich and pointed to the board, the girl at the register asked "like a tuna sandwich?" and I said no. She completely got my order wrong. Wrong sandwich, no mac and cheese. Instead I got a plain grilled cheese and a tuna salad sandwich, which I threw away because it looked gross and it was not what I ordered. read more

Panera Bread - Notice how it says "accuracy matters" on the bottom? Apparently not at this Panera. Not even close to right. - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I enjoy coming to this location! It is in the shopping center with Dollar Tree, Moe's, and Chili's just to name a few. Staff is friendly and service is fast! There are many different ways to order (at the counter, on the kiosks in store, or online for pickup) which makes it convenient for almost any situation. Of course they are super busy around lunch time but any other time it is quick & easy. If you've never been to Panera the prices may seem a tad expensive at first but it is good quality food. There are tons of options including salads, soups, sandwiches, and a few pasta dishes. My most recent visit I tried out their breakfast (offered until 10:30am on weekdays and 11 on weekends). I ordered the chipotle chicken avocado wrap and it was delicious! My only complaint was that I wish it was a bigger serving for the $5 price point. I also order from the bakery section occasionally. I love the bagels and muffins. I typically visit Panera when I need to get some work done. It's not always quiet because people like to meet up with friends and catch up here so I just bring headphones and it's a great place to get work done! A little less than half the tables in the restaurant have access to an electrical outlet so you just have to search for them if you want to charge your electronic devices. Bathrooms are clean and located at the very back of the restaurant. I like how it's not just a single bathroom, it's a two stall bathroom so you shouldn't have to wait for someone to get out of it. Overall I like this Panera location and will definitely be back because of the nice staff and cleanliness of the facility. read more

Panera Bread - Chipotle Chicken breakfast wrap (sauce on the side) and a blueberry muffin - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This Panera is 50/50 either really good or really bad. The quality has substantially improved in the last six months

Here's another one of those "I know it's just me" type of reviews. I know that people dig Panera for some reason. What that reason is truly escapes me as I find the chain overpriced, the ordering process somewhat chaotic and the stores generally filthy. This one would be a no doubt about it one star depth charge with the exception that we had gift cards so it cost me next to nothing. I know that's the wrong reason to add a star but I'm feeling generous today. It's how I roll on Mondays. We slink in midweek a few days after Christmas. Total sea of humanity inside. I'd say 3/4 of the tables are taken with most of that being single people who are sitting with just a drink and their laptops, books, purses and smartphones spread across tables for four like it's a home office. Out of the remaining tables I'd say twenty percent are left dirty with garbage on them or the seats which left maybe three usable tables. Thank God this place has ordering kiosks because the process with humans takes way, way, way too long. This isn't like say CFA where you order a number and then you're done. No, here apparently people go brain dead at the register when you add all of the choices regarding breads-drinks-sizes-spreads-toppings I guess it's too much for some to process in under half an hour. We order on the kiosk and our stuff hits the table in three batches over the next twenty minutes in reverse order. Sandwiches first, pasta second and soups last. Odd, I know. What worked: Kids Grilled Cheese but then again it's pretty hard to jack this one up especially when it costs over four bucks for something that probably costs Panera thirty cents to render. The Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich was probably the best thing overall. It looked good and the Old Lady said that it tasted very fresh. Right amount of dressing with excellent bread. What was nay-nay: I ordered some kind of flatbread that had spinach and turkey in it. Very messy with way too much spread. As soon as I picked it up it was leaking out the backdoor and half way thru the flat bread had mostly dissolved to mush due to the moisture. Also worth noting is the mac and cheese. Delicious no doubt, but the portion size for eight plus dollars is quite possibly one of the larger ripoffs in chain dining. What sucked: The bread bowl for the broccoli cheese soup. The soup was excellent but the bread bowl itself was inedible unless you had drill bits for teeth. Overdone. Burnt. Hard as a brick. In the words of Taylor Swift: "Call It What You Want" but I'll stick with a total waste of money. The best way to describe it here is underwhelming. Middle of the road food that should cost 20% less served up in a loud and somewhat dirty environment. Swish, swish. That was the sound of me crossing this place off. read more

4.5 rounding to 5: this Panera is one of the best I've been to anywhere. I come here often to get work done when I need to stay close to home. The staff are why I think it's so great: friendly, smiling people to deliver food and clear tables, and I often see managers helping out at the register with excited attitudes. I haven't had one disappointing encounter. The space is always clean, and their ordering options are very convenient. The kiosks and the app both work great, and it never takes long to receive your food. The vegetable soup has become my recent go-to, but broccoli cheddar was my original favorite. I really enjoy the modern caprese sandwich, but unfortunately they've been out of fresh mozzarella the last three times I've been. I like to order the garden salad for a smaller and cheaper option then customize it to add and subtract toppings. Another note: I can tell they don't wash the apples that come as sides. Overall, this is an ideal spot in Great Bridge for a quick but hearty meal, and especially for a remote working location. read more

Panera Bread - Steel cut oatmeal with pecans & strawberries - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This store is filthy. There were 5 pieces of trash under my table and one on the seat. There was trash through the store on the floor. GROSS! Doesn't anyone clean this place? It wasn't busy either-only two other couples in the dining area. read more

Can you say dirty? Not a clean table in the place. Bathrooms filthy. When was the last time you cleaned the toilets? Cafe floor was dirty as well. Tried new baguette sandwiches. So expensive for a big piece of baguette with hardly anything else in it. $3.50 for a medium soda, really?? This was a very unpleasant and expensive experience today. Do better! Won't be going back. Perhaps this unit is in need of new management. read more

Rude girl that actually raised her voice when I called to ask where my delivery order was this morning. She shouted: "THERE'S NO ONE HERE!!" when I asked why my order was 40 mins late. Pathetic store, run by no one, apparently. Just staffed with incompetent little girls. Deleting the app. Imbeciles. read more

Purchased a bakers dozen on Tuesday gave them to my wife for her business all of them were stale The only good thing was the butter bagels were horrible do not recommend this Panera bread in Virginia Beach Blvd. the one in Greenbrier is great next time we will go to Greenbrier read more

What are we paying for any longer at Panera? It used to be a nicer place to go but now it has become an over priced slow paced fast food establishment. Probably would never go there if my kids didn't enjoy some of their items. My son wanted Panera for dinner tonight and we got: - Kids Signature Mac & Cheese - small - $6.59 - Citrus Asian Crunch Salad with Chicken - whole - $13.09 - Flip Flop Cookie - $3.29 Subtotal - $22.97 Delivery charge - $1.00 Convenience Fee - $2.30 Taxes - $2.18 Tip $3.00 Total - $31.45 I even attempted to order from DoorDash and that was going to be even more expensive. Best part is it didn't have the same menu for some of the items I wanted. I get it prices have risen, I don't mind paying for something if I felt the food is worth it, but that has since last. Tonight I don't believe I ordered $31 worth for my three items! If I remove the delivery factor, it doesn't make me feel any better. read more

Trying to surprise my hubby with something different an d this was not the place the salad was full of hard lettuce cord and the signature chicken sandwich was dry and had no flavor. I have to admit that I was truly disappointed and will never eat there again. read more

I need to stop cringing whenever my wife chooses Panera Bread for ______________ (fill in breakfast/lunch/dinner). I think my hesitation is because it's her default fast casual food and as such we end up there ... a lot. But with a wide variety of tasty selections, perhaps my sigh-filled and reluctant agreement is unjustified. Had the bacon, egg and cheese on multi-grain this morning. I can't remember a time I was asked how I wanted my egg cooked: over-easy, scrambled, egg white only. I chose over-easy. I thought it would end up being a messy ordeal, but the egg was perfectly cooked and the toasted, multi-grain bread easily absorbed the slow running yolk. What little yolk made its way into my to-go container welcomed the final sweep of the last bite. Other things I like: use their app to order ahead for those grab-and-go occasions. Did you finish your meal and have a pastry/coffee itch that needs scratching? Use the app to order it and they'll bring it right to your table. Isn't technology grand? read more

Very good service and good food. Very friendly staff. Clean facilities and professional service.

On our way back from the outer banks and stopped here for breakfast. By far the best tasting Panera we've ever been to. We got the Asiago cheese bagel with regular cream cheese and a blueberry with strawberry cream cheese as well as a kitchen sink cookie! So good! read more

In my experience, panera food appears to be pretty consistent no matter where you are located. This is no exception. So I would like to talk about the facilities. This location is deceptive in that it looks small when you first enter, but it runs long like a hallway. The dining area is maintained pretty well. The only reason I cannot give this place a 4 instead of a 3 is the state of the bathrooms. The toilets were filthy even after flushing. There is a hole in the wall of the women's restroom and the supplies are often low. It IS a pretty busy location, mostly serving the families of great bridge. I would like to see them keep up with the volume by keeping the bathrooms in decent shape. read more

My friend went there today and EWWWWW saw flies in the bakery case. She asked if they were selling the items the flies were on and the order taker just laughed. This is GROSS - we know where and what those flies land on - toilets, poop, garbage, etc. and you,Panera, allow these disgusting creatures on food you serve to the public. What other nasty things do you allow to happen to food you serve! read more

This location constantly gets it wrong. I ordered a grilled cheese with extra cheese and this is what I end up with... (see picture). My soup is cold and I live 2 mins down the street. If I wasn't sick I would go back and get this fixed, however it's just a bunch of high school kids working there that were joking and laughing the whole time and even saw one throw an apple at the other while making my food. Go to another location. read more

Panera Bread - Grilled cheese with "extra cheese" that I technically paid extra for lol. - Salad Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Easy to order on the app and have it ready when you walk inside. It prepare and accurate to my order. Clean inside and friendly staff.

Three times in a row they have screwed up our order by not following simple customization instructions related to food allergies. I'm really patient and totally understand that mistakes happen, but when you get home with the food or receive delivery and it is incorrect multiple times... it gets very annoying. There are certainly other Panera locations to try and/or other spots to order from. But I would suggest that the managers take a second look at the training being provided for their food prep staff and make certain that they really understand the menu and how to customize items when it requested in-person or through the Panera app. read more

I not only enjoy the food here but I like how the silverware is always clean when given to me and I mention this because I've been to the one in Virginia Beach at the Kempsriver shopping center and sometimes they are not mindful about cleaning silverware well before giving it to customers. The timings that the food is cooked and given to me is decent. read more

First, I want to acknowledge that this is a "first world problem"...that said, for as successful as Panera is, one would think this would not be an issue...had an early shift today and took my lunch break at 10:15, just in time (so I thought) to grab some breakfast (Panera is my fav for breakfast) and was disappointed with the inability to order breakfast at 10:20 when it's advertised as "available before 10:30am". Tried to order online for curbside pick up then switched to in-store pick up...both to no avail. The breakfast menu options were grayed out. Gotta do better...if there is a "cut off" order time, it would significantly help. read more

If you're feeling Panera, I suggest going there. Service and food is great when served there. I had a lunch delivered today, I tried online ordering but after I inserted all my info and food it would allow me to place the order. I had to call it in. It took me several minutes before I actually got a liver person, then another 5 minutes to complete the order. They told me 30-45 minutes to have my food here, they actually came in 35. So bottom line... 5 stars for inside service/food 3 stars for delivery read more

Mac and cheese taste like straight up salt water. Come on Panera bread you can do better than that. Salads always taste great.

I am a regular here so I like that they don't mind that I make my coffee as soon as I walk in the door because they know I already paid for it on rapid pick up . Jane is key to keep things running smoothly in the mornings and all the staff are nice as can be. I just wish Panera made decaf after 2pm!! (I don't know I asked and they said it was company decision) BUT they will always make me a cup if I ask them too! read more
