    Grilled cheese
    Sue F.

    I was in town visiting my parents. I asked my mom where she wanted to go for lunch and, even with the huge variety of unique eateries, she chose Panera. Straight off, I'll tell you that I wasn't on board. My local Paneras is dirty, the orders are always wrong and the food just passable. I avoid it as much as I can. This time though, I was pleasantly surprised. Mom ordered the tuna on focaccia and tomato soup. I was a little grumpy and just ordered a basic half and half - tomato soup and grilled cheese. I ordered, paid, got our drinks and waited for my buzzer to scream. When I went to get our food, I was looking at two large platters where perched were bowls of hot liquid. The manager, Jenny, happened to be standing there and offered a much needed hand. My grilled cheese definitely could have used a little more "grilling" but it was cheesy and melty. My soup was basic tomato and I liked the croutons on top. My Panera adds shaved Parmesan cheese which was unfortunately missing. My mom deconstructed her sandwich (don't ask, I type while rolling my eyes) and pretty much wiped the soup bowl clean with the guts of her baguette. Everything about our visit was good. From the moment we were cheerfully greeted at the counter, everything was what a Panera should be. Thanks for giving me faith in a company I had given up on.

    I have not been overly impressed by this location in the past. The remodel looks nice. I ordered a pb&j and when I I opened the bag it was completely smushed. I have also ordered the grilled cheese which was cold when I picked it up 3mins before the scheduled pickup time. I like the open space for dining in which accommodates large groups. Catering seems to run smooth when we have it delivered to our near by office. I like the new recipe for the yogurt parfait.

    I haven't been here in ages. Panera has never been a favorite of mine. I've always considered it to be over rated and over priced. I will say the improved "deliver to your table" is a worthwhile upgrade. I never liked having to stand and wait with a sea of other folks around the drink station. It was always so congested. The food for me is...meh. No real complaints, but nothing exceptional either. My daughter loves this place and was her pick for our date night. I left underwhelmed and reminded why I don't eat here.

    I loved it shout out to all the workers there was so many people there and yet there still serve food perfectly I hope that they get more time off jeez it was somewhat pricey but reasonable

    Love their seasonal corn chowder.

    This Panera's recently went through a complete remodel/reorganization and although mistakes still happen often I can only see things improving in the future. For one: this location finally added the discontinued Sierra Turkey to their "secret menu". If you have a discontinued favorite ask! The chipotle mayo that comes with it must be back to it's original recipe as it's not an oily mess like our last visit. The floor plan changed slightly and more self-ordering kiosks were added. No more butt in diners face while waiting in a line that snakes around the dining room. Order online thru their app and they'll deliver to your table. Each table is numbered so they can find you. In fact whether you place your order with someone live, thru their app, or through their kiosk all food is delivered to your table - no more standing awkwardly blocking the way. The new décor is tasteful and more on trend, although less intimate and more exposed than the old set up, but they still have the fireplace! Cons: prices have increased but do sign up for loyalty as I scored $2 off my "you pick two" yesterday and frequently get offers, including freebies. They still make mistakes. A " you pick two" is supposed to come with half a sandwich, mine came with a whole, their mistake my gain :) The employees are so busy delivering to the tables that the trash cans are often overlooked. Piled up dishes are commonplace. I do wish they would clear the tables as well as it's hard to maneuver your trash and pick your silver wear out so it doesn't get discarded. Worth noting: While logging onto their wifi I didn't get the 30 minute limit notice like in the past - perhaps now it's unlimited?

    Steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar topping, strawberries, and 3 pecans.

    I got the steel cut oatmeal with strawberries, pecans and brown sugar. What I got looked like it was frozen for about 10 years, dried out in the Sahara desert, threw a spoonful of brown sugar on, threw on like 4 slices of strawberries, and put 3 pecans on it. I am very dissatisfied in my meal. It was so dry that I needed to add milk to it. The original oatmeal itself was also warm, not hot, warm. Overall, my experience was not enjoyable and I will not buy this item again. The pictures are what they have on their website and the other one is what I received.

    First time here in quite a while. My order wasn't correct, but they did fix it. I enjoyed my Flatbread sandwich, but it was kind of bland.

    Panera has Bagels, pastries, sandwiches, soups, and salads. This one just got a complete makeover.

    Had a very nice experience at Bobby Bay's recently. I was visiting from out-of-town and my original…read morerestaurant selection was not open. I looked on Yelp and quickly pivoted here and I'm glad I did! The woman behind the counter was very kind and personable to everyone who walked in, there were free cookies that they were testing out that customers could take, and the seating was limited but clean. The big windows give nice views out to the parking lot and the rolling hills beyond. I ordered a "Rancher" which was one of the hot sandwiches. A bit like a cheesesteak but with ranch dressing and bacon. The sandwich was ready in no time at all and tasted great! Could definitely see myself coming back next time I'm in the area.

    Tough place to review. Got the Johnny Boy sandwich and…read morefries. Johnny boy was prosciutto, thick sliced mozzarella, soprasetta, arugula and olive oil. The fries are always fantastic here! Definitely a top choice if you come here. The sandwich tasted great. The main problem I have is that I am not a fan of their rolls. The rolls are very doughy and seemed like there was too much roll for the sandwich. The service was quick and fast, the lady at the front register was very kind. Great service is always a plus in my mind for a restaurant. The location was clean, easy parking, and setup nice on the inside with plenty of seating. The price per sandwich is a little bit expensive.

    I thought this place was great. Has a fun atmosphere. The service was good. We arrived on a weekday…read more(Friday) during lunchtime. I got a grilled chicken sandwich with coleslaw. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. Very different from any coleslaw I've ever had before. Not saying it wasn't good. Just wasn't my thing. The sandwich was good. My son ordered a huge sandwich (can't remember what it was called) and it has coleslaw and fries inside. I snatched a fry and they were so good! Three people, three sandwiches and under $40. Good deal! Especially when two of those sandwiches could have served other people. They were huge.

    Service was great. Started with the hot soft pretzel…read more Outstanding. We both ripped off part before I even got my pics taken. Yum. We ordered the New Yorker sandwich this time (had the Don last time). It was good but not great. The spicy mustard was unevenly applied so was missing on my half and was badly needed. The Don sandwich last week had meat spread throughout and the fries in the sandwich were crunchy and not limp like today's sandwich. We also had naked BBQ wings that were good, but again, not as good as we had last week. The wings were bigger, meatier and better sauced last time. Apparently didn't take pics last weekend for comparison, but it was noticeably better then so would suspect that cooking is uneven. Last week was a 5, today was just a 3, so I averaged.

    Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

    This was my 2nd time coming to Mad Chef!…read more The first time I came here was about 2 years ago (before doing yelp reviews). I was not very impressed. This time around I cannot complain! Their specials are all revolving around the Masters which was unique! We tried the Pimento, Fried Green Tomato, Chicken Sandwich (The Pimento Birdie). This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!
