    Start with the bread bowl soup. It was terrible bread hard and cold, chunky cold soup. The half sandwich was ok. I ordered the Mac and cheese again dry and thick. Then to my bagel sandwich poorly made and super hard. I had to return it and then it was properly made. All the food that was ordered was not great. I will not be recommending or eating here again. The customer service behind the counter that make the food very unpleasant.

    I really like the Panera bread chocolate croissant. Their other pastries are also good. I used to eat a lot of their cookies. Their cookies at the time were huge. When they just came out of the oven the chocolate chips were warm gooey and oh so tasty. The chocolate would melt all over my fingers. They have fruit bowls. I like those a lot. I like how they are cut small. They also seem quite fresh. I don't like their eggs. One time I had them they tasted and smelled musty. I think if they are left in the refrigerator in water more than a couple hours they smell like mildew. Their sandwiches are pretty good and their service is quite fast. I like how they have a little pickup book case for when you when to get your food fast. The receipt is clipped to the bag with a staple. Panda has a variety of offerings like cookies, croissants, soups, sandwiches and drinks.

    I have been seeing commercials for the new chicken sandwich at Panera. The commercial shows a massive sandwich, chicken hanging over the sides of a large bun. The chicken is juicy and tender. Who could resist trying one as another best chicken sandwich quest review. Not me! The online order and pay saved this updated review from being a zero. Easy and efficient. Everything is down hill from here. Buckle up. The sandwich is a complete disappointment. It was cooked all the way through, but that is all I can say was right about it. 1. The bun was small and didn't seem fresh. 2. The chicken was dry and under seasoned. 3. The chicken breast was under sized. 4. The sandwich came with an extremely small bag of chips and it was over $11. Yeah, 11 bucks for an under sized and pretty much tasteless sandwich. Go to any other fast food restaurant and get a better chicken sandwich for less money. Do yourself a favor, don't fall for the commercial like I did!

    Boyfriend and I came to this Williams Field location for dinner and to do some work on our laptops. Tables were clean, food came out quick and was hot, and even though it was less than an hour to closing they still had all the coffee and tea beverages available. On top of that, customer service was great. Young man who told us they were closed was so professional and polite, servers in the back were super friendly and accommodating when we picked up our meals, and then up front Leilani and Brooke made our night with their friendliness!

    Panera is always awesome. Stopped by last night to pick up some dinner. The staff was super friendly. The tablets are super easy to order and don't require talking to someone (I had to order at the counter because I was paying with cash). The food came out super quickly and was super good and fresh (my personal favorites are the Tuna Sandwich and the Broccoli Cheddar Soups). Keep it up, Panera!

    Grilled cheese. I'm in hospital right now. Figured something from Panera would be better than anything from the hospital menu. The sandwich was was ordered and returned to me within 15 minutes. I was very disappointed to find the bread soggy, cheese hard. Not going to eat it. The cream of tomato soup is good.

    the fact that this costed $7 is absolutely ridiculous! You get this tiny little premade shit smoothie and paying an arm and leg for it. Panera, get your prices together and stop charging an absurd amount for this

    Exhibit A, look closely!

    (2/20/20) Thursday was what I'd like to call a "Joe day". Joe days are when I, Joe, go and do relaxing things throughout the day because I'm unable to do my usual activities. In this case, I was barred from working out due to a stupid injury, so I spent my afternoon floating around, window shopping, and looking for healthy foods to eat. Enter Panera, an establishment I haven't visited in years. It was time for salad. I've never been to this Gilbert location, but on the outside, it looks quite nice and upscale. Upon entering, I was delighted to find a bunch of tablets from which I could place my order, grab a number, and have my food brought to whichever table I chose. Fiddling with the touchscreen interface, I went with the Spicy Thai Salad with Chicken with a baguette side. My meal was brought to me in about five minutes, so cheers on the quick service! The results: | Spicy Thai Salad with Chicken | At only 460 calories, this protein-heavy salad was both refreshing and kicking altogether. From their ingredients list, I gather that the red pepper, chili vinaigrette, and paprika might explain the heat. The peanut sauce drizzle was a wonderful touch; it really brought out that classic, Thai flavor, as did the edamame, carrot blend, and citrus notes. I even had a couple bites of the nutritionally vapid baguette, which I would later discover was not even necessary to order. Returning to the tablets by the entrance, I created a mock order of another salad, and there I discovered (or rather, remembered) that there are a few other options besides pointless white bread. My mistake! Here is where things went a bit south. As part of my Joe day, for every meal I ate, I was practicing "mindful eating" -- that is, eating very slowly instead of vacuum-devouring my food like I usually do. Alas, as I ate at a snail's pace, I noticed what looked like two small strands of black hair. Now, correct me if I'm wrong in the attached photos, for these are strands short in length -- likely not head hair. But facial hair? Eyelashes? Those ghastly hairs that stick out of your moles? Could be. I do feel fine, and honestly I don't really care (found hair; don't care) as these discoveries were made after I ate; there would have been no sense in getting a new salad at that point. However, the disinterest of Panera's customer service was uninspiring, for they did not wish to verify my findings, or -- as far as I know -- take issue with the staff who prepared my food. So, I thusly declare that I've had better! 2 stars. Going forward, I will continue to rapidly absorb my foods. Should I visit this Panera again, however, it will be another Joe day's worth of mindful eating. Mindful all the way. Godspeed.

    Yes that's a long dark hair in my cookie!! Gross

    I've been coming to Panera for years. This place recently opened near my house and I've used the drive thru a few times. Today I ordered soup in a bread bowl and a chocolate chip cookie. On the way home I decided to eat the warm cookie. Much to my dismay is included a special treat.... A LONG DARK HAIR! GROSS!!

    I ate my soup half way. Delicious!

I ordered a 6 inch frensh dip and their bowl of clam chowder, all to go. Driving home with my to go order was torture! My entire car smelled like bread that just came out of the oven!!! The French dip was delicious! The shop provides a giant cup of Au Jus with the sandwhich, there is no way you are going to use it all! The sandwhich was well belanced with the meat and cheese, and the flavors were a great combination. The sourdough bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely recommend checking out this sandwhich. The bowl of clam chowder is the reason I know I will be consistently coming back to this shop. As a clam chowder snob, I am obsessed! The portions of ingredients were great, not too many of one ingredient. The soup was creamy but not thick like glue, great consistency! The cut sizes for the potato and clams were great and you could easily see the clams in the soup. It was phenomenal!!! I beyond recommend checking out Sourdough & Co.

One clearly was training. I asked for a sample of the tortilla soup. As I looked through their choices of protein, the selections looked stale. I couldn't bring myself to try it. It wasn't appetizing at all. The water choices from the fountain drinks were not marked. You can see a spout but you have to guess which is carbonated or regular. I know for a fact that management can do better than that. The restaurant was clean but with an empty restaurant, there is no reason to have stacked dirty dishes in the basin. It shouldn't be so hard. My granddaughter had their tortilla soup but like me, couldn't make herself add any toppings. They looked like they'd been there all day. Hope they turn it around quick.

    This was my first visit to Gadzooks in Gilbert, but I had been to the downtown Chandler location…read moretwice before it closed. They are known for their oven that melts all of your goodies on your tacos or enchiladas together in a ceramic bowl. You typically have a good choice of meats and vegetarian options as your filling, but on the night I dined here they were out of the bison (my first choice of protein) and the short ribs. I ended up ordering one green Chile pork and one chicken enchilada, topped it with cheeses, salsas, sauces, pickled onion and more. The enchiladas and drink already rang up to just under $20 so I bypassed a side (would have bought the spicy cornbread). For a better value, the lunch special is $15 for your entree, a side and a drink, which would save about $5 vs standard dinner prices. The meal didn't cook quite long enough in the oven because I didn't get any crisping of the tortilla, gooey melting of the cheese or hardening of the juices in the bottom of the bowl (just wetness). This took away some of the expected flavor profile. While the employees were friendly, they kept their iced tea behind the counter so I had to have them fill my cup up twice. I always like a blend of ~2/3 unsweet tea and ~1/3 sweet tea...but when the tea ratios are out of my control I just asked for half and half. The first time it was too sweet so my refill I asked for unsweet only. The interior is nice, spacious, well-lit and clean. Despite the parking lot for this complex was full with cars winding up and down every row looking for a spot, there was only one other customer in the store during primetime dinner hours. Clearly, Gadzooks is not the hot location in the Epicenter. Overall, my first experience at Gadzooks Gilbert was just okay. I was disappointed they were out of my first protein choices and my meal was not in the oven long enough. But it's not a complete dealbreaker as I could see myself eating here again in the future.

Today's review is for the Williams Field Road location, and once again, Flower Child did not disappoint! As always, my order was fabulous. I ordered the steak plate with mac & cheese and brown rice, and added a side of chicken. Every part of my meal was delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with the high-quality ingredients I've come to expect from Flower Child. I usually get the rose lemonade, which I really enjoy, but I decided to skip it today. I also used curbside pickup, and Abby brought my food out. She was very nice and provided friendly service, which made the experience even better. I'm still giving this location 5 stars because the food quality, flavor, and service are consistently excellent. My only minor criticism is that Flower Child is a bit on the pricey side for the portion sizes. That said, the quality of the food is very high, and I keep coming back because it's consistently delicious. Another great meal from Flower Child!

I looked at the muffin and there was a piece sticking out so I pulled it out and was deterred in eating the muffin. Today is my birthday so it's obnoxious I wasted it here. I noticed the price on the entree meal went up from like 15 to 18, so that's dumb too - not worth it. Why do I come back?
