Panera - the little chain that could but does not. Never consistent. Love the concept but sometimes the quality of the food is very poor. My BLT had three strips or raw bacon on it? Be careful if you order catering from here. Our orders are sometimes crossed. It was corrected but too another thirty minutes with no credit or vouchers issued. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Irving, Texas

If they keep using Door Dash services, there is absolutely no way I'm ordering from them. I have no food for a meeting and no way to know where supposedly they delivered it. Order was cancelled of course, but now I have another problem to solve. read more

Nooo what happened! Used to love this place before it went downhill this year. I gave this place many chances, but after this one, I will not be coming back as often. Service has been absolutely terrible! Today, the girl who took my order in the drive thru had such an annoyed tone and kept saying "one moment please" after a few words that I have spoken. What's going on back there? Am I offending you? It's ok to be busy but it felt draining after being constantly cut off. Just tell me you need five minutes don't give me false hope. Before today, service was super slow and they always got my order wrong. I mean the food was good, but disappointed to find out what I waited for wasn't even the right one. The sandwiches for turkey are so sad now because it's walmart flat, sandwich-style meat and not peeled from the breast kind. Makes me feel like I'm eating overly processed food when I know Panera is known for foods being fresh and sustainable. What happened to you Panera. read more

Yesli at the Panera Bread location at 7600 N. MacArthur Blvd., Irving, TX 75063, went above and beyond, albeit to no avail, to delve into why my Panera rewards account is NOT accruing visits, and hasn't for the past couple years. I have made countless visits, provided a valid phone number or swiped my card, but yet the visits don't seem to change. Yesli tried it herself, only to learn that what I've been telling most Panera Bread employees who don't really care, is in fact true. I do appreciate Yesli for putting in a genuine effort to try to get to the bottom of it. She didn't get a response that was helpful from her general manager at the North Irving location, but she wanted to help me. I appreciate that. You simply don't find that in customer service in any industry any more. Yesli deserves more than just a pat on the back. She deserves a promotion so she can learn how to get to the bottom of these types of inadequacies that are plaguing Panera Bread, and then train employees how to solve the customers issues. If there is anyone who would do it, it's Yesli. Thank you for trying Yesli. Jim McCurdy 713-816-6609 read more

I ordered a Cesar salad and my entire salad was the white butt part of the salad. I couldn't even eat this salad and I couldn't return it because I don't even live in the area. read more

Panera Bread - Cesar Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Irving, Texas

Ordered the pick two. Greek salad was okay but the chicken tortilla soup was awful. It tasted like it was overcooked and had a burnt flavor. The chicken looked very dark and it was too salty. read more

The food is good, but I have to say the service is not always on. Not sure if they are short staffed or what exactly the deal is, but the service does not always match the food. I think one problem might be that I never see anyone who is a manager type around. Probably a good thing they never seem very busy. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE Better off going to subway. Ordered avocado turkey BLT, however they conveniently forgot to tell me after I paid they ran out of avocado. Instead of offering me a different option they hit packed everything up anyway and when I asked what other toppings they had they said nothing and became snippy. Cherry on top they also completely forgot to bag up the pastry I ALSO paid for. read more

This location has suffered recently from very slow service and poorly maintained equipment. Yesterday, my order to go took 17 minutes (for a breakfast sandwich and a bagel) and today none of the self check stands would accept credit/debit card pay. They occasionally run up to an hour late opening in the morning. read more

Slow slow slow service. Also, they are always out of cream cheese. If they do happen to have it and you order it, you won't receive it. Rapid pick up takes 10 minutes or more after you arrive to pickup. I have given it 5 tries and will no longer go to this location. read more

Updated review: October 2018: Have been back a few times for their half priced baker's dozen bagels every Tuesday, and happy to say that service has improved! Always a friendly greeting every morning from the manager (I think her name is Janice). Review from 10 months ago: Food is decent. Service is inconsistent at best. Went in this morning and the employee was extremely rude. Just a little advice- not returning a greeting, not looking at your customer and not responding to thank you is BAD customer service. Its probably a good idea to stay home rather than come to work with that attitude. read more

Don't go in and order...Especially in the morning...Waited nearly 15 min to get 4 sliced bagels and not all flavors were available...Only 1 person working front register...Best if you order ONLINE and PICKUP with this store...Good Luck and Hope your in store purchase was better than mine...Stick to ONLINE!! read more

I used to be such a fan of Panera. What happened to them? First, when I walk to the counter, several employees saw me and proceeded to yell "there's a customer at the counter." Yep, after the third employee said it, the ONE person working the counter got the hint. There was an older gentleman in dress clothes behind the counter, I am assuming the manager. He never said a peep. He even walked by me while I waited for the food and said nothing. Strange. The only employee who seemed to know how to use the register took my order and asked if I was part of their reward program. When it lid him No, he said ok... No explaining about it, nothing. I ordered the Edamame soba noodle bowl and a Mediterranean sandwich. The description of the soup said it had an umami-soy broth. No, no and no. Now, I love my share of salt, but I am still gulping down my gallon of water after eating some of it. Ok, pushed the soup aside to try the Med sandwich. Maybe a bland-wich. Boring, lacking taste. I am so disappointed with Panera. It used to be really good and I realized today I hadn't eaten their food for a while. Now I know why. I'm giving 2 stars over one because I remember the good food and service I received from them in the past. What a bummer. read more

I have been to this Panera and I am always accompanied with a bevy of female co-workers since they seem to flock here like its a sale on shoes and bags at Macy's. Well since I have changed jobs there are very few ladies I work with and none that consistently join me for lunch. At this location I ventured alone. When I walked in people were looking at me strangely, and I just chalked it up to having a good hair day. Then things got more odd, when I went up to place my order the lady, Candice, took my order and was fast and courteous until she asked when the rest of my party was coming. I casually said that I am eating solo and she gasped. A person in the kitchen dropped a mug and looked my way in bewilderment. The entire restaurant stood still and it fell silent. Candice then said "I...uhhh, I don't think any......guy has ever eaten here without a girl with him." It was true, she got the manager and she checked her books and I was in fact the first guy ever to have gone to Panera Bread Company without being taken there by a member of the opposite sex. Looking back I should have known; the parking full of VW Beetles and Honda Accords, the Coldplay playing over the loud speaker, and hearing everyone reminiscence about old Friends episodes. I just wanted to enjoy their refreshing Iced Green Tea and have an salad with apples and walnuts to accompany my sandwich on focaccia bread. I sat uncomfortably in my seat while getting strange stares from passing women so I just logged onto the free wi-fi on my phone and finished my food and left quickly. It was very good food and the accommodations were very comfortable and nice. Too comfortable and the food was too quaint without a lady there to complain to me about everything that isn't perfect in their life. I won't make that mistake again. I'm going to go to Bone Daddy's now just to even everything out for my manly Karma. read more

Don't die of shock or anything, but Las Colinas has a new chain restaurant! I know, I know... hard to believe, but it's true, I went there! To be brief, this place is a step up from Corner Bakery Cafe across the street as far as their baked items go, but pretty similar otherwise. There is a good-sized selection of baked goods and from what I have sampled they are pretty decent. Decent enough to warrant return visits from me, and from someone who loves home-grown local businesses, this is saying a lot. Their cookies, scones, and muffins have all hit the spot for me when I have needed a quick breakfast bite. Yes, I did eat cookies for breakfast... being a grown-up is awesome! Their breakfast sandwich left much to be desired and is about what you would expect out of chain food. Lousy sausage patties, pre-cooked eggs, and soggy, greasy bread. I was not a big fan, but it was kinda what I expected. However, their bakery is pretty decent stuff and due the fact that it is close to my house and everything else in the area sucks rocks, I will be coming back regularly, I imagine. It may take me a while to plow through all the options, but I'll get there. read more

For those who have never tried their mac and cheese, you should try some. And want to see some MILF's and hot girls during lunch, this is a place you need to come. :D It's as good as other Panera but a chance to get the latter, it makes this place my favorite. Just kidding. I am so sick of Tex-Mex that I come here from time to time and I am totally addicted to their mac & cheese that that's all I get. And try their bread bowl soup too. read more

This by far is the worst experience ever. I will not be coming back to Panera bread. I went in Thursday night to use my free you pick two and Instead of the half sand which I wanted the whole, I also told the lady I wouldn't mind paying the difference for me to get the whole sandwich. So she grabbed the manager on duty which I believe her name was Stephanie, she was a black female lady. This lady charged me 9$ for just wanting the whole sandwich, when I had went in to enjoy my reward. I couldn't argue with the manager, she was the one who is able to handle anything instead she made it worse. To top it off while I'm eating there is a small white dog in the restaurant, and it's not a seeing or disability dog either, it's a small white fuzzy dog. I can't believe how unsanitary this manager has this restaurant. I will not be back to this location, worst experience ever and a waste of 9$ read more

Panera Bread - The small dog that was allowed in this restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Irving, Texas

I give this place 5 stars, not for the food, but the level of service I got. I came in here and ordered the sandwich and soup combo. 1/2 a Cuban chicken sandwich and a cup of tomato soup. Cashier was very friendly and courteous. My order came out wrong. I got a full Cuban Chicken sandwich and a bag of chips. I told the server I think the order was wrong and I was supposed to get the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. They let me have the full sandwich, bag of chips, and brought me out a cup of soup!! So I got roughly a free half sandwich and bag of chips!! Later on, the cashier walked around and gave away the cookies they had baked. I got a chocolate chip cookie and my friend got an oatmeal raisin cookie. Both were great! My sandwich I'd give 2.5 stars and my soup 3 stars. But, I didn't have to argue or anything for them to fix my order. They just did it. And I got a free cookie, too! I probably wouldn't come back because I don't particularly like their food that much (I'm more of a Corner Bakery kind of guy), but if you do like Panera Bread, I would definitely recommend this location because of how courteous and friendly they are. read more

I frequent Panera Bread a lot due to its convenience; however, it definitely isn't the best. I like to order their salads, and I'll never forget the time I ordered a grilled chicken salad, and the chicken came out frozen. I sent the salad back saying, "It seems you guys forgot to warm the frozen chicken before placing it on my salad". I didn't even get a coupon for the unfortunate incident. If I had to pick the best salad on their menu, it would be the Chicken Cobb Salad. It comes with a lot of ingredients and the size is great. Overall, I'm not in love with Panera Bread, but it does serve its purpose. read more

Food is 5 star but everything else is about the poor customer service and lack of availability of product. They are constantly out of bagels and breads and desserts and lack of urgency to serve customers. It looks like they do a lot of catering but if you know you do why wouldn't you make more product. I've never been to a location that is always out of food. You're in the food industry. Plan accordingly. I've given them many chances to improve but moving but I will have to take my business elsewhere. read more

I don't frequent Panera often but when I do, it's as if I'm visiting an old friend whose mom knows how to make me a satisfying meal to hit the spot. The tomato soup and tomato mozzarella panini are my go to items here. For me, it's a comfort meal. My bestie and I would always go to Panera to halfsies this meal and then indulge in some Starbucks hot chocolate after. Weird combo, I know. But it helped us bond. The new tradition now is going with the husband after a long night's work for both of us for some breakfast. He loves the egg souffles here. And for being a non-egg eater myself, I tried a bite of his spinach artichoke souffle and it was really good. We recently tried their hot chocolate (and I had no idea it came with chocolate chip marshmallows-mind blown!) it was super delicious and rich. Looking forward to coming back :) read more

Panera Bread - Signature hot chocolate with chocolate chip marshmallows and a caramel drizzle - Sandwiches Near Me - Irving, Texas

I love this Panera. Clean, fast and relatively quiet (except between 11:45-12:30). They're broccoli cheese soup is awesome and I get it every time. Recently, they added kiosks in the front to allow you to order on your own. My only issue was that it didn't recognize my order as being applicable for the reward on my Panera card, so I had to go to the cashier anyway. They've also started letting people sit down and order online for food to be brought directly to your table. I'm liking theses changes/upgrades! Keep it up. read more

Love the food but this place lacks in cleanliness. We always have to wait for someone to clean off the tables and it's usually a lot of tables that need for it to be done. They are either under staffed or don't train the crew to clean as you go to reduce the number of tabledthatneed cleaning during the lunch rush hour. read more

Panera Bread - Apple Fuji Chicken salad with broccoli cheese soup. - Sandwiches Near Me - Irving, Texas

I visited this location on two different occasions. One the first occasion the woman at the counter was so nice and helpful and went out of her way. When I was told I had a coupon for a free pastry I asked if I could get something else instead (that was equal value). She ended up allowing me to have a fruit cup and I could substitute an apple for the chips. Fast forward to two days later. The next employee was not as...helpful. But at any rate, the sandwich and salads I ordered came out very quickly even when the location was busy. I love that Panera Bread lists the calorie count next to the menu items. That is one thing that keeps me going back. The turkey cranberry flat bread is less than 300 calories but you would never know it. It is beyond delicious! read more

Today i went on the Panera website and saw a half tuna sandwich and cup of 10-veg soup for 6.99 So I walk in to order it and keep in mind i haven't been to a Panera in over a decade so i'm unfamiliar with all their options. The cashier appeared to be new because someone was helping her and she was pleasantly trying to find what i ordered but they asked if i wanted the Pick Two and I said i don't know i saw the deal on the website. Then they asked me what kind of sandwich and what kind of soup so i told them again what i wanted. The total rang up to 10.16 which made me perplexed. I said i'm not sure that's right so she said did you want a bowl or a cup of soup and i said whatever is less probably the cup. A few employees including the manager were staring at me and laughing either about me apparently being a cheapskate or something else but i heard an employee say ooo that's cold. I paid the 10.16 and tipped a dollar just for the heck of it. I can easily afford this lunch it's just the principal of it, being overcharged and then have people look at you like you are some bum or cheapskate. Times are tough right now for everyone so not sure why they didn't know this item that is one of the first items that pops up on the menu. https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/menu/meatless-menu.html?intcmp=hero-hp-c-meatless-menu read more

We frequent Paneras all over the place. Always consistent, very good food. It's worth joining their club even though it's ANOTHER card to add to the key ring. Every other time we go or so we get something free from the card. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch before an airport stop. Excellent service! Great food and prices! Had the Steak and White Cheddar panini and Broccoli Cheddar soup with a bottle of water. Definite thumbs up! Parking is tight when they are busy. Plenty of great places to sit and enjoy the free wifi or just people watch. read more

Ok, so normally i have "a thing" about not reviewing chains (yelp snobbery rears it's ugly head) but since i frequent this place pretty often it's only fair i give them a review! Coffee lovers out there - they have great coffee selection and i highly recommend the Dark Roast. If you're NOT a coffee drinker, they offer Republic of Tea which is a good quality tea (no Lipton here!). If you want to get carb happy, this is the place for you - in house made scones like the wild blueberry scone, anyone? But you must go there now to try their Gingerbread bagel - will definitely put you in a happy holiday spirit! Lastly - free wifi and generally quiet setting makes it a good spot to get some work done. read more

It's a Panera, haha. You should know what you're in for. I highly recommend the bacon turkey bravo, white cheddar macaroni and cheese, or broccoli cheddar soup. Several of the bagels are awesome as well. Although I'd recommend taking them home and toasting them yourself. Try some of the different flavors of cream cheese! A bit overpriced but good quality food nonetheless. read more

I went there today at about 7.05 am, the store wasn't open. One of the employees came and started banging on the door to be let in. After about 10 min someone open the door. All I wanted was 6 bagels and they said can't do it since the manager hasn't come. Very disappointed read more

Terrible store. I've gone there 2 Sunday's in a row for their soufflés and they don't have any. I got there when they opened at 7 am the first Sunday and they were just putting them in the oven. The 2nd time I was there at 7:30 am and still no soufflés available. There didn't appear to be any coffee ready as there were no urns set up at the coffee station. This store needs to get its act together. Maybe the Lewisville store is better? read more

I love the sandwiches and soups at Panera. You can mix and match with half a sandwich and soup as well. On days when I'm sick I love their chai tea latte, Reminds me of tea made back in India. Keep going back to try the different items from their menu and none of them disappoint. read more

Only had coffee and a cinnamon roll. Really Good!

Consistent service is typical of Panera- highly delicious food week prepared and in appropriate portion sizes. Staff is also typical of Panera- just good enough but not wowing on a daily basis. I like this location- convenient for DFW and nearby business. I will keep coming back as long as I am traveling here. read more

Nothing to complain about here. Just the standard service and menu items you get at every other Panera Bread. This location is pretty big, clean and has good service. I got the light roast coffee and sausage and egg sandwich, and was happy with my choice. The husband's bagel and cream cheese was good too, though I didn't bother to steal a bite coz my own food was so good! read more
