Food is the same as any panera basically. Inside is dirtier than average- the tables are kind of sticky and have grime buildup on them. They ran out of sourdough bread bowls but did upgrade our soup cup to a bowl and gave us 2 extra small baguettes to make up for it. Overall- average panera experience though. read more

Panera Bread - This is the grime buildup on the tables. - Sandwiches Near Me - Garland, Texas

Terrible location! I've called their corporate office before, as when I order the hibiscus tea, it's always very cloudy (this location only), as it was today. When the equipment is regularly cleaned, the product is clear (with a red tint), like iced tea should be. The staff is rude, and the Manager (Ryan) blamed the situation on "being very busy"; there were ZERO customers inside, two cars in the drive-thru, and I waited for him to come talk to me... I gave up and decided to take it to Yelp and call their corporate office. I don't want anything from them... other than being treated with a bit of respectful customer service! Train your employees to be kind... and please, CLEAN your equipment!! The health department would not give you a good rating if they knew!! read more

The food was good but the sandwich was sloppy and the tomato barely existed on it. What was most troublesome is that ists 40 degrees outside and they had the ac blowing. It was so cold inside. My self and my elderly mother were freezing. I asked them to turn the heat on and they said they would work on it. The ac went off shortly and it started to feel a bit more comfortable to eat but then management turned the ac back on because the kitchen staff was getting warm. Smh. Keep the customers happy or freeze them out? read more

I ordered chicken noodle soup for my wife because she was sick. I ordered food for myself as well. I got home with the order and her "soup" was 95% broth. No noodles, no veggies and a few crumbs of chicken. This particular cafe has gone way downhill. The employees obviously don't give a damn about the quality of what they are serving because this isn't the first time that we have had problems with this location. Never going back to that one again. Maybe not to any of them. They need to up their game like they are their prices. read more

ALL the Managers need to be replaced with ones that can do the job Panera has hired them to do. The Panera in Mesquite Texas is the worst. Until they hire managers that care about the people that keep them in business. I will not be going back to this Panera. The food is not good for you either. They have too much bad ingredients and over processed food.. The bakery is serving days old bakery goods. The last time I got a cinnamon roll it was so bad that I couldn't bite into it. I broke a piece off and it crackled all over the place. The service is awful. There's not an ounce of ambiance at this place. Just to inform anyone going to this Panera, go at your own risk and be careful. read more

Panera is not good It used to be price change content change quality change and used to be very healthy not anymore

Four stars for skimping me on my portion of broccoli cheese soup. I usually HATE Panera Bread because the food is mediocre and there is just SO MUCH BREAD. I understand that "bread" is in the title, but dang! My last trip here, which I was disgruntled the whole way there, was actually pleasant. I vowed to never eat here again, but my friend suggested it after I said that lunch would be her choice. The grilled cheese was out of this world delicious. The broccoli cheese was also quite delectable. Service was very good. I would say to remove your "must wear a mask to enter" sign. This is Texas. Mask mandates are over and I refuse to wear one. So I didn't. No one said anything so it's all good. I would come back to have another grilled cheese and broccoli cheese soup. That's about it! read more

Don't ask for a bagel to be sliced. Went a few years ago and came home with several, none of which could be put in the toaster. Tried again with just 2 bagels today. One was sliced about halfway, the other is pictured below. Their pastry case was full of crumbs-not very appetizing. There were 3-4 employees when we walked in, but it took a minute for someone to come over and acknowledge us. And we were the only people in the entry way. read more

Panera is one of my favorite fast food places because of the salads, bread, and drinks. I never really eaten inside of this location because I was going through the drive-through but I know it's always good service. I really like their mango yuzu drink; It's amazing and so refreshing. You can never go wrong with the baguettes as well as a soup. Also the salads are really good. Overall it's great I have always had a good experience here! read more

I don't normally go to Panera, but when they had their "Unlimited Sip Club" promo going on and I had a free trial, I chose to go more frequently (I'm a sucker for deals...). This location was the closest to my house, so I'd often grab a few free drinks here and there. My boyfriend and I chose to grab lunch here one day when it was a bit chilly outside, and we opted for their grilled cheese and tomato soup. It seemed fitting. The food was good! I hadn't had Panera's food in quite some time, and it was a filling meal. I don't normally choose to eat here, however, as it's a bit more expensive than I'd like. I did enjoy being a Sip Club Member. I definitely fell for their marketing strategies, because being a part of this "club" got me to visit their business more often than I ever did before. I'd also like to note that I do enjoy their bakery items. I like to order their pumpkin muffins when I can, but I find that they're often sold out. read more

Visiting the area and decided to head here for dinner. The place was empty. We ordered a salad and a soup bread bowl to go. Stupid us, should have checked the order. No bread bowl for soup. Salad was made with old lettuce. Never had a problem with any Panera until this one. Avoid this one and try another. read more

Seriously? An employee denies service to a customer in drive thru bc her kid was screaming? In her own car! What a joke! My kids are grown but if my grandchild is too loud in my own car, you'll deny me service! WTF! read more

Iv had it with this Panera in Garland and will never go back!!!! I love Panera and the food is always GREAT, BUT my order is WRONG every single time I go. You think I would have learned my lesson my now but nope. Just got home and of course. Soup is wrong and sandwich was made on wrong bread again. Really sad because I love their food but tired of not getting what I ordered read more

Faith was really helpful and kind ! Lunch was great food was so delicious and fresh ! Love this location and how calm the ambiance is :)

This is where I took my friends kids after all that jumping they did at Urban Air. Great choice! The food was delicious. Noted that this location has multiple kiosks from which you can place your order. Not sure how it works but with all those folks standing in line it must be pretty efficient. I'm not good with computers, those things scare me. I let the kids order their own food at the counter, the cashier was patient with them. This allowed them to also choose whatever condiments they would like with their food. One had a ham sandwich (dry) with lettuce. The other had a chicken caesar salad with a bowl of tomato bisque soup. She was excited about the piece of bread that was included with her soup. I had the chipotle chicken avocado melt it was yummy! They have the best exotic teas here. Less sugar is needed since many have their own sweetness. If sugar is added they only use cane sugar. I usually make a "suicide" tea with all the flavors except the black tea. Gotta say everyone ate all their food and nothing was wasted. I like not having to take home leftovers cause I won't eat them. If I'm in this area again this will be my go to place. 2017/50 read more

So, most of the time this place is on point. My issue and reason for the one star review is Robert the assistant manager. When wearing a mask at work, especially when making my food, it needs to cover your mouth AND YOUR NOSE. He is in a leadership position and where I come from, that means you lead by example. There were at least 3 others in the service area that were not properly wearing their mask. I believe their mask rules are not being enforced and therefore I will not be returning and will tell others to look elsewhere. I get that the service industry is devastated by the virus but for God's sake, wear a freaking mask properly or don't wear one at all. read more

So far, i have had a nice experience visiting this place. I have received a positive customer service. My orders have always been right. The only issue that worries me a little bit is the cleanliness when eating inside one time. I hope they keep the kitchen clean, but overall my food has always tasted good and is always on point. :-) read more

I found cockroaches in my sandwich ....they seemed to enjoy the food, but I was grossed out.... do not shop here, unless you want bugs in your sandwich .... I suspect the workers do not wash their hands after using the bathroom.... if you value life, do not shop here. read more

Watch out for the "PIC2" menu. This is a special price when buying 2 menu items. We ordered 2 tomato soup bowls, but when paying the bill noticed that we were charged the full price instead of the "PIC2" price. We complained and the manager was called. She stated if you do not say "PIC2" when ordering, you will not get the sprcial discount price, even though the order was for 2 items, and at the full retail price. They would not honor the "PIC2" price and would not give us a refund. So, be aware, if ordering a PIC2" item you must say the words "PIC2" to get that pricing. read more

Their menu is good, but a lot of times they run out of bread and stuff. I also think that their ambiance could be better. Their new store in Murphy is much better. I also had not great experience with services some times. I like them in general but think they can improve on the items listed above. read more

I go because I like the healthier choices. The prices are high. Just ordered through the drive thru yesterday and just for me and my 2 year old, I paid $26. I'm not liking that drinks are not coming with meals. Mine and his didn't have this. Is this a business trend, with some? I couldn't swap chips for fruit without the up charge. I some what understand but then again, give options. For these prices, I think we can be offered more. Smoothie was delicious, sandwiches and bread were fresh. Mac n cheese gobbled down. read more

Fast lane kiosks had no trackers so I had to get one from the main counter which negates the entire point of of the fast lane 1/7/18 Came in this morning and stood at register for a couple minutes standing and watching Sabrina continue to stock Brioche in the bakery and ignore us. So I have to speak up and get her attention to where she slowly says, did you decide what you want. Ughhh No greeting- nothing when you enter nor walk up to register... But I'm use to this kind of service here it is managed the same way with Customer service not encouraged. Breakfast sandwiches were ok and love the orange scone. 4/21/18 First time I've eaten here in the last year and and was finally greeted warmly by the staff here. David took our order and he was very friendly and tried to pronounce my name and gave us contact which is always appreciated. Thank you so much and it's great to see that your a supervisor! 10/25/19 Rashad was awesome. He noticed the staff were not at the register and called their attention to take my order and greet me. This location has had this issue for many years and I'm so glad to see someone as Rashad to remedy that and help teach his staff to connect with customers and "care" for them so to speak. Having humanity for one another and be kind and helpful and provide those yummy orange scones !! lol Yeehaw!!! Thank you for listening! I think if this gets remedied the sales of this location will soar like never before!!! People first!!! A smile goes a long way! Great customer service! read more

Contact the store to let them know my online order was not what I ordered! But manager answered phone but me on hold and 2 seconds later hung up on me. I called back - when I got a hold of the same manager with an accent - let her know she hung up on me then let her know chicken soup is not the same as cream of chicken rice - she offered to make it right on next visit BUT I want to eat today - ask to have ready when I returned in 5 mins but she said we will make when you get here - wait will be 2-3 mins but I wanted her to have ready went I walked in since i Would have dog with me ... she will make it when I get there and then she hung up on me. Please make sure your food order is correct before you leave store since the manager may answer phone and hang up before you get resolved. Please have that manager go through customer service re-training!! She did replace with correct soup but the process of being hung I on me twice upset me more than the wrong soup!! read more

Can you tell me how to eat soup without a spoon is there a new way to do it all I ask is to do your job and clearly failed today He needs somebody needs to address your problem read more

Nice spot to check out for lunch or a quick bite. This location has kiosks you can order from which is convenient. This is especially nice for people like me that like to customize orders and add/remove certain toppings. Their food is always delicious and satisfying. I usually order the half sandwich and half salad combo. Best of both worlds! But honestly, they have something for everyone here. Bring your kids, too. They've got something for them as well. Location is nice and clean and the workers are constantly refilling drinks, cleaning up finished food off tables, and maintaining the cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Their food is disgusting. Just as bad as Taco Bell and Mc Donalds. Have eaten their food at 2 different locations and I ended up throwing both meals in the trash. read more

And the hits just keep coming. Panera. You do Bread. You had one job. We love Panera bread but your location here in Garland is staffed by what simply has to be the absolute, most idiotic, skill lacking, sad beyond all conception of incompetence employees who take the word "incompetence" and have actually morphed it into a state of being. You actually PAY these people.. You take the bread loaf. The one my wife paid for. You put it in the auto-slicer that is evidently more complex than the CERN Large Hadron Collider. You hand her back the loaf missing slices. You try convince her they are stuck in the machine and she can't have them. You know, the bread she spent money on. Evidently a slice of bread that we paid for stuck in a machine supposedly designed to cut bread (previous evidence disputes this) is beyond your skill set to remove or "unstick". We are done. You are the absolute worst as far as customer service and employee training. Your bread is great (not as good as I make, but close) but we've had enough. Good luck and keep those standards as low as possible because god forbid you EVER figure out how to cut bread correctly. Something the average six year old can do without even losing a finger. read more

I just got a large Mac and cheese and it was cold, watery and chewy. This was the worse service we've gotten!

Update on previous visit....Previously complained about Panera being skimpy on their ingredients, especially the chicken. This next visit (11-16) was much better as far as the chicken goes. There was much more chicken than previously. The Asian Sesame Salad was still very good and had great taste, but they were still skimpy on the greens. I got a 1/2 salad free from the reward program-Southwest Chili Lime, I think. The hubs took the 1/2 salad for lunch the next day. He said it had a lot of meat on top and even more at the bottom of the container. It was filling and he was happy with it. Still the best tasting salad around but still not a good value. Will give it a few more tries before going elsewhere. End of update-I added 1 star. 1st visit: I've recently become addicted to Panera's Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken. It's probably one of the best salads I've had in a long time and it's low in calories. I've been ordering it a lot lately for lunch but I've noticed that they have gotten skimpy on their ingredients. The last 4 or 5 times I've gotten the salad it looks different from the times before. The lettuce has been skimpy as well as the other ingredients. I always get the whole salad. I can't begin to imagine how tiny a half size would be. Todays salad was the worst yet. The flavor was great but again they skimped on every ingredient. I've order this enough times in the past several months to know how the pieces of chicken should look. After picking all the pieces off the top and putting them down together, it looked a little smaller than one of their usual size 'slices' of chicken. Usually there are a number of slices on the top. Not today. I could have scooped it all onto my fork and it all would have fit at the same time. Just a bunch of tiny leftovers tossed on top with a few noodles. Not worth the $10 they charge. The flavor is great and the dressing is a nice change from the ordinary but I'm really close to going elsewhere and getting twice as much for a lot less. Please step it up, Panera. I love your salads but not that amount for that price. read more

This location is simply horrendous. Food and service. Every time I say to myself that I'm never coming back- I end up giving it one last try and being more disgusted with myself for even giving this location my time and money. Before pulling off I asked if they had everything in bag and she said yes, meanwhile I checked after and of course they were missing half the order that I had to ask for. And then this is the sandwich I was given.... one old slice of avocado and bacon, quite possibly the smallest slice of cheese and they literally just slapped some folded prepackaged turkey on the bread. (See pics) Not to mention it tasted fucking disgusting. If I'm paying 22 dollars for a damn sandwich and Mac an cheese at least make it with respect. This isn't McDonald's. read more

I was a real fan of their chocolate croissants. I went a few days ago I ordered 5 to go, I was happy because if they had, when I arrived at my home, surprise! the croissant change, now they are like those of Walmart, but super expensive price. Totally low quality, but not low it's price. I won't buy again. read more

Do not go here for breakfast, even if it's for a slice of toast and oatmeal! The drive thru takes forever and will cost you 20 minutes for a simple breakfast. It's like they hire the slow people for mornings on purpose. read more

My husband and I ate here on a Thurs night. I ordered a Pick Two Chicken panini with chicken noodle soup. My soup bowl was only one small ladle with only a tiny amount of veggie/noodles. I returned the soup to the kitchen. And asked for a salad instead of the partial bowl of soup. The assistant manager brought my salad after I'd finished my half panini. There was no dressing on it. Overall, it was a one star or less experience. Now I understand why there was only two other tables seated while we were there. Unfortunately, we won't be back. It's a shame that other Panera's seem to have their act together. Not this one. read more

I am obsessed with this restaurant. I love their pick two menu items. I always get the caesar salad (no croutons) and the french onion soup (no bread). It decently priced and very filling. All of their salads are really good to be honest. The spicy thai, caesar, cobb and citrus cashew are my favorites. I wish they had gluten free bread so I could try their sandwiches. I keep holding out hope that one day they'll get it. The staff here is so friendly. However do beware. The drive through line inst quick. You'll wait 5-10 minutes to get your food. Although, I'm willing to wait that long for good food rather than getting something fast and gross from McDonalds or somewhere else. They have plenty of parking in a private lot. read more

Do not bother going to this Panera. Placed an online order for curbside pickup today at 11:40, arrived at 11:40 and ended up going inside because everyone doing curbside was getting out of their cars. I was told by the young man who pulled up my order that they were running behind and it would be about 10 minutes. The store was full of angry people who had placed orders and were waiting for their food but there was no staff to be found. 40 minutes later I went behind the counter to find a manager and tell him to refund my order. He looked in the system and rudely said "I don't even have you in my system". I asked him to give me something in writing saying that I did not get my food so I could dispute the charge and he refused. This was the worst service I have ever seen, and I was not the only one who had the exact same experience, no one was getting their online orders. read more
