I find this location to be much better than Panera near my house in Jersey. For some reason everything, including soups, salads, and sandwiches taste better here. I thought franchise food is supposed to taste same everywhere but that's not the case. read more

The drive through takes FOREVER!!!!!! If you have 15-20 mins to wait for food, this is your place! They let the car at the speaker sit there and wait until they person at the window has their food and has pulled away. My guess is it's a way to cut back on food prep and doing less work. The employees need a little bit of an urgency when they serve and prepare. The nighttime crew is the worst. Young kids who laugh and joke around, as they very very slowly prepare your food. Very unprofessional group that covers the closing shift. Otherwise food taste great once you get past the rest! read more

This place was fine. Nothing spectacular. Nothing terrible. One of the soda machines was leaking all over the floor. And the worker was cleaning and cleaning. Having to move cabinets and the wet floor sign. He did a beautiful job cleaning. But the machine was still broken and leaking all over. And the lightbulbs were broken. They were replacing those while we were there. I think the workers are trying to keep up with what is breaking. I hope the powers that be fix all the things. Then this place can concentrate on food and normal things like wiping down tables (which were fine) and not have to take care of all the broken things anymore. The bathroom was fine too. read more

Love this Panera, the services is great, and this staff is very friendly and helpful. The interior of the the store is very clean.

Absolutely the WORST experience at this Panera's. Not enough seating took 25 minutes to get our food. Extremely challenging to get in and out of parking lot. Food was ok but the rest of it was so stressful that it didn't matter. Not a good location to stop while traveling - pick something quicker and with better customer service! read more

I stopped by the drive thru the other day and got the ham and cheese sandwich and cup of soup. I must say, everything was as good as it gets. The order was correct and exactly like I ordered. The only complaint I have is I had a taste for a little something sweet and asked about the cookies. Charging a dollar would be ample. But $1.67 is excessive. read more

I was on break and picked up my mobile order; and while I proceeded to take my first bite of my chipotle chicken avocado melt I noticed something quite peculiar. The avocados which have been presented to me for consumption where about as dark as night literally. As the feeling of disgust crept through my veins I had a revelation. I went to the manager and showed him My Meal He seemed quite shocked. He sincerely apologized and said I will personally make you a new one, and please take any pastry you want. I proceeded to take the Cinnamon Roll which I always contemplated I'm getting but The opportunity never presented itself that is until that fateful day. Nevertheless I left Panera with a cinnamon roll ,a beautiful new chipotle chicken Avocado melt, and a smile on my face. read more

I love panera but every time I go to this location and order food I either get half empty salad or half empty soup. It's so annoying and I have complained multiple times but it still happens. It sucks and they need to do better! As much as they charge and the stupid round about just give people the proper amount of food!! I wish there was another location closer to my job read more

Very slow drive through + messed up our order twice. The Mediterranean sandwich was not good, had four layers of tomatoes. The Greek salad was subpar. Baguettes were hard and small. Girl at window was nice though. read more

This is probably the dirtiest Panera Bread I have ever been to. Walking into the bathroom I just felt disgusting....you couldn't take a step without walking on dirty paper towels, there was toilet paper and used feminine products scattered on the floor, and the toilets were filthy. On the plus side, it's Panera so the food is delicious. I don't know if I will be coming back to this location... read more

Absolutely the dirtiest Panera ever! Employees were very slow place was filthy. Almost Every table was dirty and no one was even there. Horrible service! Don't go drive to another Panera. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Easy on-off for 95. But it's your typical Panera and the food is exactly what you'd expect. The service was subpar, not as good as other paneras. They were out of electronic beepers at the iPad ordering so you couldn't order from the iPads. The line was 4 people long for one cashier and it took longer than it really should. The food came out fast once you ordered, but 2 out of 4 people in my party had errors in their orders. Orders were corrected but the servers said my friends must have ordered incorrectly. Checked the receipts and orders had been as my friends wanted. Better customer service will improve the reviews at this Panera. read more

Clean, friendly staff & good food. Good stop for travelers. What more could you ask for?!

Perhaps I've been spoiled by our fancy Panera in downtown Toronto, but this Panera did not measure up to my expectations. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and the bagel was hard and had an odd aftertaste, and the cream cheese had an "off" taste as well. Come on...how hard is it to make a bagel with cream cheese? The bathrooms also were not the cleanest, although to be fair, they were also not exceptionally unclean. They just felt a bit grimy, as bathrooms tend to get. But still, this Panera was quite a disappointment, and I wouldn't return. read more

Very dirty, not a single clean table and the floor was visibly filthy and had lots of trash on it. Service was...lacking. Staff smelled like smoke. Food was fine. read more

Never been the biggest Panera fan but I have to admit this Panera changed my perspective. Very nice staff, food was very fresh and tasted great. Nice corner spot with outdoor seating. read more

This location is AWFUL for breakfast! I work off of Route 17 and, of the 8 times I've stopped in on my way to work (before 9am), they have only had souffles made/ready-to-go TWO times! I realize this is a super-popular item, so I'm sure they go quickly- but that's exactly why they should constantly be making them all morning long. Don't wait until you've run out (or down to your last 2-3 in 1/4 of your flavour combos) before you throw another batch in to bake. I should not walk in and be told that there's a "10 minute wait" for the one item that I came in for, which is exactly what I was told this morning...That's just absurd! I love Panera Bread but I will not longer be a patron of this particular location for any meal of the day. read more

Panera on Garrisonville is hit or miss. Some days the food is well prepared and hot. Yet other days my Turkey and Kale panini is put together very sloppily. Quality control should be uniformly enforced. Occasionally, I'll have an item missing from my to go orders. Yet, overall the food is really good when the staff is on point. read more

The food here was great, my order was taken by a nice girl named Nancy. She was very kind and explained all the orders after I asked what they were. Also she was patient was I stood in front of the register deciding what I wanted. She handed me exact change and took care of any of my extra needs I asked for my orders since I like my sandwiches in a certain way. Overall my experience was great from the food being so good and the great service from Nancy. read more

Ordered 12 bagels and two buckets of cream cheese for rapid pick up on my way into my office one morning. Unfortunately I didn't realize the cream cheese wasn't with the bagels until I arrived at my office. Called them and the lady said the cream cheese doesn't go in the box but in a separate bag, I explained that there wasn't another bag with my order so I didn't know any better. Another lady got on the phone and I went thru the same thing with her. She said I would need to come back for the cream cheese. Mind you I am now at the office and explained I would have to clock out and drive 15-20 minutes one way to pick them up. I asked if I could pickup from the location closest to my office and after some time she finally said fine just go in and explain and they are not suppose to deny any customer request. Well she was right in that they didn't deny my request for my missing cream cheese and apologized. Never got an apology from the rt. 17 location and btw that location was suppose to be a delivery location. read more

I ordered chipotle chicken melt sandwich and i got half of a broken plastic knife in my sandwich. Not recommended. Will not come here again.

So slow...! We used the kiosk to place our order and still waited almost 20 minutes for our food. There was no sense of urgency by the staff to try and speed things up. This was coupled with the filthy bathroom... perhaps it's the location (near 95 and maybe there's high volume from the highway) but the service was terrible at this particular Panera. read more

I was disappointed in the lack of cleanup. And the windows were dirty with smear marks. Not the same as before

Good, clean restaurant. The staff was friendly and offered up free mini scones because the required bread was sold out.

I have had mostly bad experiences in the drive thru. One of my orders I received a completely different sandwich than from what I ordered. This time around I asked for extra croutons and they were missing as well as my baguette. read more

Wanted a bowl of soup after a long day on the road; stopped here as it was close to our hotel. Quiet at dinnertime; chicken and wild rice soup was very good. read more

This place is great! When you want a childhood classic like soup with a sandwich this is the place to come to. Plus they serve hormone free foods. Their pastries are yummy and I suggest trying the broccoli and cheese soup. read more

We had 6 people come here for lunch today. Everyone enjoyed their food. Management is nice. Line went very quickly even though they were busy. Food was good. My only thought for improvement is the one table that could seat us all together was taken. There is no place for 6 people to sit together except one table. I'm so glad they did away with those ridiculous dinner rolls! read more

I walked in with a very warm welcoming from the young man up front who helped me with my order. He was so knowledgable about the products that they serve here. His name was Freddie and he was great! Also, Melanie in the back preparing the food was very kind and kept us entertained. She knew what she was doing! read more

I left hungry :( Terrible service. Idk who the manager on duty was. But absolutely useless. I ordered half an avocado chicken sandwich.. The avocado was nowhere near ripe enough to put on a sandwich. I could barely cut through it with my knife. I also tried the bread bowl for the first time. Terrible idea. There is one scoop of soup in this small hole of a big bun. All my soup was soaked up when I got it. Even help it upside down to see nothing drip out... My girlfriend got the broc & cheese soup with a Greek salad. Salad didn't have the Croutons So, with that being said. I took my sandwich back.. We kept the soup and salad.. I could have thrown it at someone and been charged with handling a weapon.. The line cook, simply said all avocados are like that. Sorry. Not acceptable I asked for my money back They insisted in making me another sandwich. I insisted on not wanting another sandwich. What ticked me off so much is that the manager just told the cashier they are out of avocados at 7:00 pm after I complained.. So you served them all day like that? He was useless. And was not evening doing anything from the time we walked in until the time we left. Just talking gossip. Thanks to the woman who refunded me my money and asked it I would like another sandwich. You were nice. Good luck. I would recommend Greens & Grains Cafe @ 1133 Jefferson Davis highway Fredericksburg, VA Terrific service and same concept as panara however there ingredients are wholesome and local. Plus they don't mess with your food, and serve you edible delicious meals. Good luck read more

First was told their "egg maker" broke. So we ordered bagels. Then after 30 minutes of waiting and seeing many people walk by with eggs I went up to ask. Was told they were now running out of eggs. Still no bagels. After 40 minutes our bagels were finally sliced and buttered read more

I have always said, in the restaurant business, customer service makes or breaks you. The food is typical for this franchise, but the service is unbelievably horrible on weekends. I am not sure about weekdays, but I encourage anyone to go in for weekend breakfast hours and find someone who cares about the consumer... read more

Went to Panera's today for lunch..potatoe soup..some of the potatoes were not even soft....clearly thrown together ten put out to sell...they didn't have the cream of broccoli soup...I did not tell the manager what i thought ..i should have...the pastries I bought for home are delicious.....they are really 4 star...will pick another place for lunch ..it's strictly a pastry or bagel place! read more

We stopped at this location on our way home for a quick breakfast. This location is one of the cleanest and the staff was very friendly and efficient. We had big order for 4 people and they brought the food within 5 min. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. The employee was more interested in completing her side work than take our order. We arrived over an hour before closing! We were asked if we were paying with cash or credit. We told her credit so she instructed us to use the kiosk since only cash orders were being taken at the register! Don't know if that's company policy but that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! After struggling with the kiosk (not user friendly-couldn't order side of apples or bread!!), and being completely ignored by employee we just walked out. read more

Ordered a green goddess salad tonight that 1: that doesn't come with cheese) and it's covered with cheese and 2: supposed to come with egg,bacon and pickled onions and got none of that. Also asked for side of bread with butter and got chips with side of butter??? read more

I used to LOVE PB. But when I happened into the Ladies Room one day, I said "never again!" You could tell it never gets a through cleaning. Some weeks later I visited another PB in a different location, and the same thing...very dirty restroom. The employees use these restrooms, then make our food. UGH! I filed a complaint, but this far, no improvement. If they can't keep the restrooms clean, how can the food be clean? read more

We live only a few mile from this Panera and have been here many times because of the convenience. They almost never get the order right and today was the final straw. After messing up my order for a cappuccino, the woman snidely invited me to 'have a nice day.' I won't be back to this distinctly inferior and rude establishment. read more

Waiting to order was short, food came out fast and was delicious, and service was awesome. Nothing else to say because this was such a pleasing experience. Great Panera to go to!! read more

We placed an order for lunch at work and they forgot my soup. I went in after work to pick it up, the manager Alex was very courteous. He apologized for the mistake and replaced my whole meal. Awesome customer service. read more
