I got the you pick two with the Thai Chicken salad and roasted turkey and caramelized kale panini. One thing I found disappointing was that you can't give your phone number to get Panera card points; you have to have the actual card with you.. Since when?! Otherwise, service was quick. I was one of the only people in there at 830 pm on a Thursday. The Thai chicken salad was just ok. The thai dressing does definitely have a kick to it but the salad overall is still lacking something. The roasted edamame were shriveled and small. This Panera is located right next to the Christiansburg mall, and is one of the healthier fast food options around. For the most part, it's a safe bet for knowing what you'll get for your money! read more

This was the saltiest Panera I've ever had... the frontega chicken sandwich and baguette were okay, but the chicken noodle soup and my dad's soup were way over salted. Was disappointing compared to all other Panera's I've been to. read more

Panera Bread - Pick 2 - Sandwiches Near Me - Christiansburg, Virginia

Came in on Monday for a quick lunch no greeting or welcoming staff member, had to place my own order on the tablet, staff was too busy, laughing and playing to clean up any of the booths! Had to have my date at a dirty table. Bread was still ice cold in the center. Unacceptable. read more

Took over 35 minutes to get food and then soup and sandwich were not hot. More characters left to say how awful this was. They weren't friendly either read more

The food here is very good and you'll get a lot for the price. On the other hand, the service could be much better! The workers act like it's a bother if you ask for something any questions. It seemed to be pretty clean, though there have been some dirty tables when I go in. All in all, I only go here for the food. read more

Good bread yummy terrible service but good bread but yummy I got cussed buy guy inside ambiance great five star for yelp It's epic

Horrible wait times and not enough employees. Just have to pray you get lucky and only wait 15 minutes

To the Panera bread employees at the Christiansburg Va location! you should be ashamed of yourself at the way you treated the DoorDash worker that was trying to get an order for 2 customers. I physically watched you hand this man two large bags and two drinks expecting him to carry it to his car by himself without the courtesy of offering him a drink carrier as he ask you nicely for and you rolled your eyes at him. Not only that, he litterly stood there for thirty minutes to wait on the food that you and your other staff knew had already been prepared.And when he asked you not once not twice but three times for the order, you finally huffed and puffed and handed it to him. I'm sure you may have been having a bad day from the sour puss expressions you gave any one that came in your vicinity. I'm almost positive he didnt derve that since he was dashing on a Sunday probably for his family, but most of all, for the paying customers that is providing you with employment! Your service and attitudes was beyond piss poor as a paying customer it has changed my feelings about ever eating here again. If you treated him the way you did I would almost bet you treat everyone that walks into your establishment like you do!! This is a negative rating for me!!! read more

I did get the correct food but while sitting in the drive thru the window stayed open allowing the spring bugs inside. also there were two employees eating out of the food prep containers and not using gloves. Gross. Also the employees had personal cups with no lids and kept filling their drinks from the drive thru machine. all I could think about is how their drool is transferring from their cup to the next person's every time it's touched. If basic hygiene cannot be followed, it seriously makes me wonder about the rest of the place. read more

I ordered a 1/2 Tomato Basil BLT and they loaded it with tons of cheap lettuce but barely one strip of bacon. And they were too busy for me to take my sandwich back to ask to fix it. This is not what I've come to expect from Panera which I generally enjoy. read more

I pulled into the drive through at 5:15 pm. I was told at the drive thru that they had a 15-30 minute wait if I ordered a sandwich and was not there for an internet pickup. I said "great" give me some of the chili in a bread bowl. They said they ran out of bread bowls. At 5:15 pm. I ordered a non-bread bowl chili and started to pull around. There were no cars visible in the drive thru. I pulled through to the window, to discover an SUV waiting AT the window. The SUV waited for roughly 20 minutes, so they must have ordered a sandwich that was not for pickup. They didn't seem to ask it to pull around and wait at a numbered space. When I got my order and got home, the baguette I got as a side had a wet spongey spot on it the size of a thumb. The top of the baguette was sticky. The chili was fine, but the wait was not. I thought maybe they were understaffed, but upon pulling up to the drive thru window, there were maybe 8-10 people working? This is not the first time I've had a poor service issue at this Panera when it was fully-staffed. To me this says that the management is poor and it goes hand in hand with the unclean booths, tables and seats, the messy dish return that seems to always be piled with dishes, or the coffee that always has grounds in it. This will be my last visit to the Christiansburg Panera ever. read more

This was the worst experience of ordering food. This place is not up to the franchise standards. My food was late (which can happen and is fine) but when I tried to explain that not all the drinks were there he argued with me. Here is the receipt and there is why you have given me. And then he still proceeded to mess it up. I guess when Siri told me this place only has two stars I should have listened to her! read more

This was the worst Panera I have been to. The bagels were stale and hard even though they claimed to be from that morning. I got a meditranian grain bowl with chicken. There was no chicken, it was mains with rice instead of quinoa, and there was SOOO much dressing and nearly any vegetables. So if you want to eat rice and dressing. This is the place! read more

Horrible service, my wife and my soup was still cold, when taken back to counter I was told there was a microwave "over there" to heat up my own food. None of the tea/juices were filled and the trash cans were overflowing. Before we sat, my wife asked about wiping off the table which had a sticky substance all over it and was just given a dry rag to clean our table. This experience was one among many to Panera and was absolutely the worst! read more

Well here's the deal with this place, folks. The food is insanely overpriced. I ordered an Asian chicken salad and I got half a head of chopped iceberg in a plastic dish for $10. There is no chicken. I called to ask for the order to be corrected and no one would answer. I could go to chick fil a, Wendy's, food lion and get salad in a kit, ANYWHERE else really- and pay less for more. Very disappointed and won't be going back. read more

Food was great and served quickly. The space was clean. The staff was very nice. I hesitated to eat here and even tried to talk my husband out of it, because of poor reviews. I'm so glad we went, and I was pleasantly surprised at how great the place was. Don't believe all the bad reviews. read more

Dirtiest eating place we have been in. Piles of dirty dishes, crumbs all over the floor, had to ask for a table to be wiped off. Husband asked for the Pick Two special and was charged full price for the salad and sandwich. Sandwich had been reheated several times. Managers walking around - but not doing much. Will not go back. read more

The food tasted great. But the overall look and experience was not so good. The place was dirty. Stains that looked like dried mashed potatoes and chunky spots on the seating with textured handprints on the walls. So much food in the cracks on the seats you could make a meal from it. read more

I've had several orders over the past couple years that were filled incorrectly or the portion size was smaller than usual. They always make it right which is nice. The staff is hit or miss, some are very friendly and some have no personality. The flavor of the food is always great. read more

Everything seemed to move a little slower at this Panera. They don't have the order kiosks, so the line don't move very quickly. The food is pretty much the same as any other Panera Bread. Overall, it was pretty good but there was nothing really special about this location. read more

Gross.... my wife and I go here a lot. I'd say maybe once a month for 2 years. We have been able to see a rapid decline in upkeep of the restaurant. I mean basic things like cleaning the floor or vacuuming. There is food all over the floor, the walls are sticky the drink station is always a mess. The carpet looks so gross. It's like a dirty gray color and has stains all over it. This place is literally falling apart. This area would do well with some friendly competition like a corner bakery, who actually makes their products in house instead of frozen like this messy place. Most times my wife and I go in there we are greeted by friendly staff or a manager. Never had any issues with service. If you are wanting a good dinning experience in a sanitary environment this is far from what you are looking for. read more

Service is terrible. Staff rolling eyes, sighing, obviously not wanting to make your order. I expected a temper tantrum next.

This place might be the slowest moving Panera bread I have ever been to. Not only is there only one cashier on a Sunday morning, but I've been waiting for my food for over an hour and still counting. At this point I'm guessing I'll be buried into my grave before my frontega chicken is close to being made. I've waiting so long I've become numb to time and think I did something wrong in life. I'm convinced I'm in the seventh ring of hell and am I waiting for my food that I'll never receive. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Whenever you read this I'll probably still be waiting read more

Was ok. This establishment needs to be much cleaner!!!!!! There is potential but...... Bathroom (mens) was nasty. Ceased salad & bread was good. Consistent! read more

y'all clearly do not give a fuck. very obvious. i've never been to a restaurant and guaranteed it take 39 minutes longer than normal. please open a new location with better staff. you'd make way more money. read more

The last two times I was there I went through the drive thru. The lady who took my order was pretty rude on the intercom. I pulled up to the window, got my order and she shut the window without a goodbye or have a nice day... the next time I came by was last night. Maybe they were running out of food because they were about to close? (I was there an hour before closing) I got a small Mac and cheese, brownie, and a drink all for $15. There was barely any Mac and cheese in my cup. Giving them three stars because the food isn't too bad. read more

Yikes. The food tasted fine and we did get our order, but that was the where the positive experience ended. The tables were filthy, the garbage was overflowing, they were out of tea and lids, and the floor needed to be picked up and swept. If the dining area was this dirty, how is the kitchen? The AC didn't seem to be working. The elderly couple behind us were so uncomfortable. I spoke with a staff member and the tables were eventually wiped down with a disposable wipe that appeared to be a Clorox wipe, used for about 7-10 tables. Hopefully the manager/proprietor will read the comments left here and make some improvements. So disappointing. read more

The food is great, however the service at this location is poor. The attitudes of the staff are disheartened and rude. On this date, it was apparent that the front staff was highly annoyed at each customer after 7:30 due to closing at 8. The attitudes were short, the presence was cold and ultimately made me wish I'd gone elsewhere. So disappointed in this interaction and hope it improves moving forward. read more

It never ceases to amaze me how expensive it is for such a small amount of food (their salads).

When I pay $20 for grilled cheese and a drink, I expect the order to be correct. Grossly overpriced and never correct

Travis defibaugh said they microwave their pasta. Gross !!!! When I said I was going to yelp the little girls that work there were laughing. Horrible place and a horrible method to heat up pasta!!! Who microwave pasta at a restaurant? I guess Panera Bread in Christianburg does? I'm calling corporate! read more

Panera Bread - Pasta was hard and manager said they microwave the pasta.They get it frozen and microwave it so it'll be warm. Pathetic!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Christiansburg, Virginia

This was Panera's third chance at giving me quality food. We always order the cinnamon crunch bagels to take home and each time they have seemed at least a day old and instead of putting in plastic, they're just thrown in a paper bag. This time the tub of cream cheese was just thrown on top of the bagels. No more Panera, no more. read more

I'm not usually one to write bad reviews but this was a notably bad experience. At 2PM, they were out of nearly all bakery items, except for 1 bagel. They were also out of a number of main menu items. I bought the one bagel that they did have, and it came out in literally four pieces and had been *actually* torn apart by hand by an employee. Half of it was basically a cracker, it was so bad. Then, to top it off, I was scolded by an employee for trying to exit the restaurant the wrong direction- the direction in which every other customer there exited at the time (and the employee herself!). The trash cans were overflowing and food was discarded on the ground. read more

There are not enough words in the Webster dictionary to describe how horrible the food was. The chicken on the sandwich was piled up in one scoop in the middle of the bread and the amount didn't even cover all of the bread; and I order/paid for extra chicken. The pizza did not have any sauce on it and the little cheese it had was piled up in the middle of the pizza and was not melted. Believe me, Do Not waste your money or your time at Panera Bread in Christiansburg, VA. I would have selected Zero stars if that was an option. Horrible! read more

Had a late lunch on Thursday 2/27/20 around 2:30 and saw that Panera Bread in Christiansburg was almost empty after the lunch time. Stopped in and ordered right away. The woman who took our order was very nice and all went smoothly. We looked at the many open tables and could not find a clean one. There was trash all over the floor. Several people were at tables just sitting around and reading. There was plenty of staff standing around doing nothing. None one was even trying to clean up. While we didn't wait too long for our food, it did seem to take awhile considering no one was eating and our order was the first served since we had arrived. Technically, our order was accurate but looked like it was just thrown on a plate. Food was good but the experience was not worth close to $30 for 2 soups and half sandwiches. Panera is just phoning it in. We would have complained but we had a long night at the nearby hospital. read more

The past three times I have went to this location I have ordered the pick 2 in the drive thru and they always mess my order up. They are very nice and friendly but I won't return back to this particular location. read more

Wow...overflowing trash in main area and restrooms, tables not wiped off, food all over carpet...had I seen all of that before I ordered probably would have left. Food was fine, though, so there's that. Sunday 5:00 pm visit. read more

I had a $5.00 offer on my Panera rewards card expiring at the end of the month to place an online order so I decided to give it a try. Big mistake and I won't repeat it. This service is not ready for prime time. There is no way to specify that you will be dining in so you get this flimsy to go box for salad, a wax paper bag for sandwiches, and plastic ware. You can't choose your side. I got bread when I wanted an apple. And the salad portion in the to go box was much smaller than if I ordered for dining inside. I only did this for the $5.00 off, but it was definitely not worth it. read more

Service was poor but froendl and we were the only ones in there. Our order was wrong as well

Dropping my score once again. This place is so slow, even with order pick up. My wife's food wasn't ready until 15+ minutes after her pickup time, and the food was cold when she brought it home. The service here is just terrible. read more
