I didn't check the reviews before heading in for lunch today. The brand has a good reputation, but this experience was a bit all over the place. There's so much to choose from, which is great, but it might be a bit much for first-time visitors. It was quiet today, and the staff was very nice and helpful. We both ordered the soup and sandwich combo. The seating is a bit cold and not the most comfortable place to relax, but it's okay. My first big "yuck" was the beverage area. It was filthy! There was sticky liquid all over the counter and the floor! The floor was disgusting, not only with sticky soda but also crumbs under every table. By the time I sat down, I was sure it was my last visit here. The buzzer went off, and I walked up to get our food only to be told it wasn't ready! (What?) Anyway, I got it, and it looked really good! I had some hot Italian sandwich and tomato soup. It was amazing! I also got a small piece of a baguette that was wonderful! My wife had broccoli and cheese soup and said it was wonderful as well. She also had a one off custom sandwich that she loved. I hope they take a bit more pride in their store and clean it up as we really did enjoy there food. So many new places coming to town this kind of experience can hurt. I hope the management reads these reviews! read more

Great place, clean and new! Food was delicious an and a huge shout out to Sara the manager, so sweet so helpful and just a very nice person.

Constipated. That's the word that kept popping into my head for this new Panera. Starting with the location for awkward access off of State Street to Edgewood before making an immediate right turn onto a narrow access way into the parking lot. The description also applies to the to tight and awkwardly built parking lot. And for Pete's sake, city planning review people, there is a Chik-Fil-A now under construction in this same place that will be using the same access way and parking lot. (And eventually fast casual pizza franchise, Slice House.) You must be kidding. No wonder this was such a controversial project as it was wending it's way through approval processes. But that's not Panera's fault so let's get to what seemed constipated, or at least not smooth moving, at the store. I detoured here on the way home from a morning haircut to pick up a cup of hot chocolate, I had been getting Panera emails in the way of "insider special" and also a pastry, both to go, as I had also received snail mailed discount coupons to my house. I live in this city and they have been trying to make locals aware of the new store. Although the inside was not crowded, after waiting a good while to try to place an order, I left because I had an appointment at home that I didn't want to be late for. The reason I couldn't place an order was that it was unclear to me if I was supposed to use one of 3 kiosks at the front or if I could order at the counter (my preference) and there was no way to ask the single person working the counter "how do I?" Also the sign at front said if you are having a beverage to get your cup first. OK then, where? Also, the item in the case I thought I wanted to order had no label on it so I wasn't sure, if I used the kiosk, what it was I was ordering, and no one to ask about that either. So I decided to do this the old fashioned way and wait to order the counter. But I could not do that because there was only one person working at the counter and she was behind the register trying her best to help the customer who also wanted to order and who was asking questions. This poor (obviously new) employee was out of her depth for what to do. Not her fault, where was the manager to help her? But just as the employee had a "eureka" moment on how to get the order placed, the customer presented her discount coupon that she received via snail mail and the employee once again was thrown for a loop, said that coupon was for orders placed via XYZ method and now she would have to try to find someone who could help her figure out how to apply the discount. That is when I turned around and exited. They need to work on this. The service snafus are all fixable by management. And the space itself is not welcoming, warts and all, most Panera's are that, and it seems to me it would be from difficult to impossible for a person using a wheelchair to find clear path of travel to a table to sit at. Panera, you can do and have done better for mere ADA compliance. This is the closest location to my home but I won't go back. Meridian or Boise are better options. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

See all

$15 for 2 sandwiches - and they were the size of my hand, with 3-4 tiny pieces of chicken and barely any BBQ sauce. This is an unbelievable rip-off. After decades of going to Panera, we are permanently done with this company. read more

We are so happy to have Panera here in Eagle! We are also thrilled to see how diligent they are about cross-contamination with food, allergies! The staff is friendly, kind, and professional. The restaurant is extremely clean and constantly wiping down tables. With only one other family in the restaurant, it took longer than expected to get our food; it took over 20 minutes to get two soup bowls. Hopefully this will speed up the process. So happy and welcome to Eagle Panera! It is a learning curve in the store is brand new with new staff members. We will be coming back and updating our review. So happy and welcome to Eagle Panera! read more

Order a grilled cheese and it was like they took the cheese right out of the fridge and put it between two barely toasted slices of bread. Only did one star because zero wasn't an option. read more

Started out great for a few weeks. my husband would regularly pick up dinner for us. It would have been 5* then. Bit now, we won't waste our time. Once it was no mandarin oranges for the Asian salad, no substitutions allowed, no discount, take or leave it from rude kids. Then it's no romaine lettuce for a cesaer salad...really? Same attitude, they could care less. GO next door to MoBetta's, or Smokey Mountain Pizza...or anywhere else! read more

We've been to this particular Panera 4 times now. The first experience was great - clean place, friendly staff and they had everything readily available. Since then, it's gone down hill and rapidly at that. The last 3 times we've been here, they are out of so many items. You want broccoli /cheddar soup in a bread bowl, forget it, no bread bowls and also no soup. Actually learned no bread bowls for any soup at any time ....and limited soup at that. This last time we went there - same thing and the place was a mess. Sticky floors, food under several of the tables and garbage overflowing. You still went there??? We did, sadly. But while there in a span of 45mins two complaints came in - one person returned their salad and another who appeared to have gone thru the drive thru came in and complained about their food! Panera you can do better! Step up your game, you started off great and have bombed since then. Won't be going back. read more

Just Okay-I have been several times and staff was not very professional. It was a very slow evening and my to go order was missing bread and dressing-very frustrating. Staff needs more training in customer service as well. I witnessed one staff member yelling at a customer. I love the Eagle Road location- so much friendlier and seemingly happier working environment. read more

Today I ordered like I always do and to be charged .79 for half a hard boiled egg and 2.29 for a few bacon bits and I mean a few less than 20 pieces on my salad is a little much. read more

Love the broccoli cheddar soup! Along with the bread, it's delicious! Can't go wrong with it!

Ordered piece of bread never received. 1/2 sandwich only had meat on one side and not much. Hair in sandwich. Soup was only 1/2 full. Very disappointed! Will not be going back. I was very excited about them coming in. read more

My order was made quickly but upon arriving home, I found one of the soups to be less than half full. This is a poor first impression for this new location. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Great place to eat for a nice quick meal. I was surprised that the prices have gone up. The service is good. And I like that I could eat outside with my dog. Nice people. read more

Just ate here last week! Our sandwich was hot and fresh. The people working there were kind and I loved the green goddess salad they had!

The breakfast sandwiches were just ok, and too expensive for value received. The cinammon rolls weren't any better than the refrigerator version from the grocery store. They might have been better if they had been freshly made but these had to have been baked the day before. My order was not ready on time even though the store wasn't busy at all. Thee are better places to spend my money. read more

Had a Ciabatta Beef Dipper delivered from this location. It came with onion soup and not beef broth. There was very little meat and in some places none. Pure disapointment. read more

Got coupons in the mail for the new Panera Bread in Eagle. Girl taking our order very friendly, but very unsure of what she was doing. Our total was more than we thought it should be from working it out on the app. She didn't read it back to us or give us a receipt. I figured it out later. I had asked for a half salad; when it came it had to be a full salad. Sweets were supposed to be half off, but we had to have been charged full price. No senior discount, but manager gave us a cookie to compensate. Dining room not a very pleasant place to eat. Tables too close together for privacy. More than half their seating was high top tables. Regular height tables were very close to each other. Panera on Eagle Road at Ustick has a more relaxing dining room. They ALWAYS read back your order and give you a receipt. Probably will drive a little further in the future to go there. It's a shame they didn't allow for more dining space in the new location. read more
