    Well, look what's not covered at Panera here on Woodhaven Blvd in Glendale, Queens... Looks like manager Sirjana still doesn't know what she's doing. The lemonade lid was on top of the iced coffee container, leaving the lemonade container fully exposed to air and germs and bacteria. Please see photos below. I hope the district manager, Joel, does something about this....

    My sales receipt, September 17, 2024
    Tina C.

    Lunch on a Tuesday afternoon while in the Glendale, Queens vicinity calls for le pain (French for bread, loaf). This Panera Bread Cafe #204403 is accessible via MTA buses Q11, Q21, Q53 SBS, and Q52 SBS. Customer service is mediocre as my order consist of a complimentary French baguette bread side, but upon pick-up it was not included as I had to voice my interception to be properly compensated for inclusion of a missing item. "If you see something that is not right, say something!" which as a typical New Yorker I take it as a directive. After voicing my missing French baguette bread side the food preparer produced a rude scowl look. The staff who prepares the food orders and packing cannot read the order sales receipt which is clearly itemized line-by-line. Why are the staff utterly careless in their work? Accuracy for order fulfillment is a comical relief to Panera Bread as it is merely for public relations as a false illusion for a facade to be seen. Perhaps is it ergophobia for menial work? Hell no, I do not want to be a Panera Bread rewards or loyalty member!! I opt to take my order out after receiving such beneath and underperforming treatment despite of sufficient in-door seating available. Caesar salad (whole) $9.59 This salad was average, but it was filling and unlike cafes, or food chain restaurants Panera Bread's whole salad contained two (2) plastic condiment cups of Caesar dressing as provided. French baguette bread side This was excessively chevy and average. It does not taste fresh. I sadly miss Paris, France for authentic French baguette bread. Chocolate chipper cookie $2.99 Delicious as I am a enamored with the classic chocolate chip cookie. COOKIE!

    I have not been to this particular Panera for several years. Only one person at the cash register, still have to figure out how to use the kiosk. I like human contact and interaction as well as find out the latest products. Ordered the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.89) which was very good. It was light and not heavy. After meeting friend over coffee, went back to order lunch for the kids. They have Value Duets for $7.99 (these are fixed item 1/2 sandwich plus soup) went for the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich with Wild Rice Soup. Soup was a tad salty. Sandwiches were awesome. Never had their bread bowls (sourdough bread) before. Saw so many photos from Yelpers so you got me ordering one with Chicken Noodle Soup. ($8.89). ***Tip- If you Taking Out or Pick Up or Carry out. Make sure you have all your items before leaving the store. The ladies who prepared the food order did not put it the Chicken Noodle Soup. That sourdough bread bowl would have been naked and lonely without the hearty soup. Tables were not clean. Had to switch tables. Did not see anyone cleaning. Bring wipes.

    For a pastry ( bear claw croissant) to be in a bag with no individual label or packaging is wild; to squeeze it and put a pack of petite cookies ON TOP OF IT is even wilder. What's worst than squished food?? the flatbread to not have THE ADVERTISED RANCH OR CHIPOTLE SAUCE IN IT. So dry cheesy bread for the win I guess. IDK If this revenge for complaining about my last order but I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN Like no sauce. AT ALL. Hopefully my refund processes but they need to do better especially for its location

    Tomato soup

    Ordered delivery thanks to the "spend fifteen get ten dollar off" promotion. Got a full grilled cheese and a tomato soup bowl. Can't say the grilled cheese lived up to its name because it was far from grilled. Barely cooked on the exterior and was still smushy like any ol' white bread. American cheese smacked between some white bread is not the worth 7-9ish bucks (but I guess that's Panera for you). The tomato soup is plenty and I plan on making my own grilled cheese and eating it together (I'm sure I can get a couple more sandwiches out of it). The service at the store is really great and that's about the only good part of the overall general experience.

    I don't know how, and why this Panera only has 3 stars. I came in today to grab a quick bite , and upon arrival this place is HUGE. There was so much seating to dine in (even though my order was for pickup). There was lots of traffic but it moved very fast . The store is broken down, 1 side is ordering and the other rapid pickup. The restaurant was also very clean, I saw a nice man sweeping up before my exit . I honestly waited no longer than 10 minutes over my pickup time for my food, and given it was busy that was no problem for me . I was even offered 2 cookies for the wait which I declined but really appreciated the kind gesture. I ordered the chipotle chicken and avocado sandwich which was amazinggggg, with the chipotle sauce on the side . I also ordered a half of a tuna sandwich, which was also really good and large portioned both sandwiches were very fresh. Anytime I'm back on these sides of town I will definitely stop back in. Great customer , and fresh food you can't go wrong .

    The pastries of Panera Bread are decent and we visit there every one to two weeks when we don't have any idea what to eat for breakfast. We have subscribed to their unlimited coffee plan for months and this was our first time seeing that all the coffee wasn't served in hot & fresh. Hence, we were disappointed with their service at this location. The indoor dining is currently available and their safety procedures for COVID-19 is pretty good. The staff checked temperature for every customer and kept social distance between tables.

    Love this restaurant! Their app and kiosk come in handy especially when you don't feel like going to their cashier. I'm a big fan of their pick two option. I got their chicken Caesar salad with avocado since they ran out of croutons and chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich with extra chicken. Also got a side order of their chicken noodle soup I enjoy as well. Always a good time when I eat from here. First time trying their juices..and I liked their Strawberry lemon Mint with Guarana & caffeine the most.

    After shopping for furniture for my new apartment I took my mom here to pickup dinner. She's never had Panera Bread so I wanted her first time to be memorable. We opted for our orders to be to-go. We were beyond exhausted and wanted to get home in a jiffy. We were greeted and treated so nicely by the young lady who worked the register. She took her time to explain the combos to my mom and what certain items contained. My mom ordered half steak & argula sandwich with a small lobster Mac & cheese. I ordered a full bacon turkey bravo sandwich. Once we got home we decided to dig in. My mom couldn't stop raving about her sandwich. She liked her Mac and cheese sans the lobster claw. It was extremely fishy and salty. We were both under the impression that the Mac and cheese would have sliced up lobster pieces mixed in, however we were sadly mistaken. She also stated that the Mac and cheese was a little too cheesy for which says a lot because she loves cheese. My bacon turkey bravo sandwich was on the bland side. I couldn't enjoy it because it was dry and lacked condiments. I tried jazzing it up but I ended up tossing it.

I like their food because it's simple, tasty, and comes out quickly. The Khong Rou Fan is comforting and flavorful, and the Niu Rou Mian is always a good choice when you want something warm and satisfying. The string beans were a nice light appetizer to start. It's kind of a semi-service place -- you order at the counter and clean up after yourself when you're done, so there's no need to leave a tip if you dine in. The cashier who took our order is always nice, friendly, and polite, which makes the experience pleasant. The place is also always clean, which I appreciate. Overall it's a good spot when you want a quick, easy meal without a long wait.

The good- plenty of meat in Lou Rou Fan, the texture of stinky tofu, the no tipping but bus your own tray business model. Friendliness of staff behind the ordering counter. The so-so: not enough fragrance in stinky tofu, the slightly soggy/oily pork chop, and lack of fragrance in Taiwanese sausage. The somewhat expensive price( our lunch costing $56 total). Will probably revisit another time to see how other dishes taste and see what price point it will result in.

You're not here for a leisurely dining experience, you're here to eat something delicious and get on with your day. My one gripe, and it applies to the whole surrounding area and not just Maxi's: there are basically no bathrooms to be found. Plan accordingly before you commit to a big bowl of soup. Cheap, tasty, authentic. Everything a Flushing noodle spot should be.

As for the mixed platters, we had lamb gyro and the souvlakis as well as the lemon potatoes and fries. The lemon potatoes were perfectly seasoned and had a nice tartness to each bite. The lamb gyro was tender. The chicken souvlaki being moist and flavorful is the barometer for the level of detail that goes into every plate served.
