    What ever happened to greeting with a smile. Can't happen if I now have to be my own cashier. I'm not happy that I can't walk into Panera and see a happy smiling face. Panera has now turned into Walmart. You have to self checkout at Walmart too. The service with a smile. It's gone. I pay so much money for the products at Panera bread. And now. I have to do half the work for them. Next thing you know. I'll be cooking my own food. For the record. I ordered a bagel. And they didn't even slice it. That's because the machine wasn't user friendly. And I didn't know I had to check the Alice and toasted box. Now that's something Panera should be embarrassed about. If you are going to use a machine. At least have a prompt pop up that I need to make an additional choice. I'm ashamed of the way Panera is now going to treat their customers. I for one am very unhappy.

    As always the salads are very delicious and filling. I ordered a fruit cup this time also. The fruit had some skin still on it and was not ripe yet. It was still hard.

    Spicy Thai with Chicken - Whole size
    Ben S.

    Lunchtime was busy, but there were still plenty of tables to choose from. The line was long, but I ordered at the kiosks off to the left side of the registers and avoided the queue all together.The process was quick and self explanatory and was actually nicer, as you can see images of all the items as you review the menu. I ordered the Spicy Thai salad. I got the whole size and it was very large. Lots of chicken and just the right amount of vinaigrette dressing and peanut sauce on top. I personally didn't find the salad spicy, just well seasoned. I would order it again, but perhaps the half size and get something else along with it. The baguette I was served with it was soft and still warm. The restaurant overall could have used a walk through from a cleaning point of view. There was debris on the floor, tables, chairs - a staff member just needed to walk through and tidy things up from the lunch rush.

    Panera coffee club stop in Ohio!!

    We are Panera coffee club members. On a recent trip to the Independence area, we stopped by this Panera to use our coffee club privileges while out of town. We ordered on the app, and in addition to coffees I also ordered a sandwich for our daughter, and a bagel and cream cheese for myself. In my order, I marked for the bagel to be sliced and toasted, with double cream cheese. We ordered at 12:30pm on the app, yes during the busy lunch rush, but the app indicate the order wouldn't be ready until 1:10pm. A 40-minute wait for a fast-casual restaurant is excessive. We waited outside, where there are several tables, and luckily many in the shade since it was a very hot day. When my order was ready, my bagel was not toasted, nor was the cream cheese put on the bagel, nor was there double. :-( Our daughter's Mediterranean veggie sandwich was totally soggy, which made me think the sandwich was sitting behind the counter much longer than it needed to be. My husband's app order was just his iced coffee. I waited for his cup to come out to the pick-up area, and it never did. When I asked a busy staffer, she said to just grab a cup and make it myself. Making it myself was fine, but no indication that I was supposed to just grab a cup and help myself was not good customer service. Compared to our excellent Panera at home in Williamsville NY, this particular Panera was subpar. The wait time was excessive, my simple order was wrong and shortchanged me, and the process for coffee club members was unclear.

I also had the Cuban sammich, I'm a sucker for a Cuban and nobody (outside of Miami it seems) makes them "right" - meaning squishing it on a plancha. This one is no different, it's got all the required ingredients to make a Cuban however it was just popped in to the toaster oven and not squished in a plancha. It was still very good however. There were two employees working, no other customers at all. Service was very quick, no waiting really beyond what it took to whip up my order. I took it to go so I can't really comment on the ambience but like I said it was totally empty except for me and the 2 girls behind the counter so if nothing else it was pretty quiet inside.

After eating here I will never go to Panera bread again. This place is soooooo much better. I've never had a better turkey bacon club in my life. The kids loved the cheese flatbread which came with a dessert and a drink for 6.50!!!! The ciabatta bread was delicious. The place was very clean and I was surprised it was empty. But I know I was wanting to come here for months and I believe they maybe just opened back up. I will be back!!!

    Mediocre food, great affordable prices for Cuyhoga Falls…read more No frills restaurant experience. Basic seating inside and bathroom is clean. Ramen is very average and same with fried chicken. Broth was not rich in flavor unlike other ramen places. Char siu too fatty for me. Fried chicken was also very greasy unlike tonkotsu should be. I'll update this review when I get a chance to try the curry / don bowls. 3/5 stars for now

I looked up there menu before going there so I could decide what I wanted to get and i decided to order the Torikatsu Ramen which is 鸡排拉面 Fried chicken served w.chicken broth ramen noodle, topped w.scallions, corn, cilantro, broccoli, kikurage mushroom onion and boy can I say it was really delicious and I had a can of diet Pepsi with it. The customer service was amazing as well and they were very helpful and they were extremely quick I ate there and I think I waited maybe 5 minutes for my Ramen. The price of the food is also amazing for my Ramen and diet pepsi it came out to under 15.00. And you get alot of food. The ambiance of the store was decent I think they took over where Jimmy johns used to be at because they are located in between play it again sports and Panera Bread. I did enjoy all of the decor though. Overall this place is amazing and I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    We were in town for a baseball tournament and knew we had to try Zuppaman after reading all the…read moreglowing Yelp reviews. They were absolutely right. It was a smaller store front, cozy and a hidden gem! The restaurant has so much personality, with years of awards proudly displayed throughout the dining room. Before the food even arrived, we knew we had found somewhere special. We started with the Bistro Onion Soup and the Red Pepper Lobster Bisque. French onion soup and lobster bisque are two of my all-time favorites, so my expectations were high. The Bistro Onion Soup absolutely delivered--rich, flavorful broth, perfectly tender onions, and an incredible blanket of melted cheese. Easily one of the best onion soups I've ever had. The Red Pepper Lobster Bisque was equally memorable. The sweetness of the roasted red peppers paired beautifully with the lobster, creating a unique twist that really worked. My husband and older son both ordered the Momma Mia. A spaghetti sandwich? We were intrigued! My son gave it a 9/10 and said it tasted like a lasagna sandwich. He'd order it again without hesitation. My youngest chose Ziggy the Piggy and declared it "the best sandwich I've ever had." That's high praise from a 10-year-old! He gave it a perfect 10/10, and the sandwich was nearly as big as his head. Honestly, reading the menu made us want to come back just to try everything else. Every item sounded delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff. They were warm, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. That kind of hospitality is hard to fake, and it made us feel right at home. If you're passing through--or even if you're not--Zuppaman is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

She joined us a couple days prior to her wedding to romp around Cleveland and our group of 5 checked out Superior Pho. Delightful. Prompt and friendly service--our server mistakenly put in a 4th bun bo hue soup when we'd only ordered 3, but we brought it to our AirBnB--and excellent food. We ordered 2 bonus bahn mis, per our freind's recommendation, to share table-wide too. Great food. The Bun Bo Hue is mildly spicy for my fellow medium spice tolerant folks. Everything was awesome. If we're back in cleveland, it'll be a spot we go back to.

    Been searching for a pho spot to satisfy my pho cravings…read more Their sigh is dwarfed by the korean-japanese restaurants sign but it's there. Got two sides of seating. Staff are friendly. I like the table set up with the siracha, hoisin, and utensils all right there like the pho spots I'm use to. I got their goi cuon, pho dac viet, and a boba. Goi cuon came out pretty fast. Nicely wrapped and came with a peanut dipping sauce. The roll was good, I would've liked the peanut sauce to have been a bit more peanuty, and thicker. Sauce was a bit on the runnier side. My personal preference. Pho dac biet soup seems to be the same for all the pho spots in Cleveland that I've tried. It'll satisfy my craving but doesn't seem to be rich. The meat portions were generous for a small. Got their premium oolong milk tea. Didn't taste premium to me. I like you can adjust the sweetness level and ice level. Wish they had just plain regular boba/tapioca balls. Only had them in brown Suger syrup. Definitely enjoyed this spot more than some of the other pho spots. Will come back to try their other dishes too.
