    a wooden shelf with a television on it
    Rumit P.

    I always forget that this location exists because it's such an annoying location to get to, their parking lot is tiny, and that shopping center it's in is always so ridiculously crowded and busy, which I acknowledge isn't within Panera's control. I ordered a soup and salad for Rapid Pick-up. The system is flawed. I received an app notification and e-mail message saying my order is ready at the pickup shelf. It was not. Someone else's order was in the cubby. Most likely because of theft, they keep some of the orders elsewhere within reach of the staff. I asked about my order, and the employee rudely asked, "Well, what did you order?" I'd just much prefer to go to the other Laurel one on Laurel-Bowie Road, which has a huge lot with many shaded parking spots, faster and friendlier service, and a cleaner interior.

    The go food is fine it's the drive thru line, you literally need to schedule time to sit. It's a little out of hand in the morning but I know they're actively hiring so if you're looking please apply .s/n I'm so glad the girl with the tude is gone I guess 'karma' does its job on its own time.

    Finally decided to give Panera Bread a try! I was not disappointed. I went into the restaurant before to buy gift card for some wonderful teachers and was impressed by the aesthetics and great customer service I received. I even received a $10 gift card for myself for buying gift cards! I'm glad I've added another alternative fast food option to my list. The flatbread was fresh from pick and my caesar salad was portion just right. I am definitely looking forward to trying other items on Panera Bread menu.

    Mediterranean veggie sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup
    Rena E.

    Today was my first visit to this location. I really like the convenience of Panera Bread locations with the drive thru feature. There were only a few cars in the line. I ordered the You-pick-two meal, which on this visit consisted of the Mediterranean veggie sandwich and the broccoli cheddar soup. Since I earned a reward from my previous visits, I used it towards this purchase. I really like their rewards program. The sandwich was good as usual. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was soft. The soup is always amazing. On a side note, I purchased the Panera Bread soup at the grocery store and it was not as good. Nevertheless, the overall meal was tasty. The efficiency of the drive thru window was great. I placed the order and received it within a reasonable amount of time. It is impressive that the food is made-to-order and available in such a short period of time. I have experienced much longer wait times going inside.

    Pick 2: Fuji Apple Salad w/ Chicken, Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, and Potato Chips
    Emily H.

    I usually get their Pick 2 option! Fuji Apple Salad w/ Chicken 9/10 - fresh w/ lots of toppings -- chicken, grape tomatoes, red onions, pecans, gorgonzola, and apple chips - light white balsamic apple vinaigrette Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt 10/10 - bread is crispy and tasty fillings w/ chicken, avocado, gouda, peppadew peppers, cilantro, and chipotle sauce Service is usually good here when I come. This visit, my sandwich was missing from my order, but they were able to get it to me quickly.

    Rotting salad! Don't bother coming to this location of Panera. Their quality is terrible. Seems like they're just trying to feed people anything. So disappointed! Not to mention DISGUSTED!

    This location is close to my job. I often ordered lunch from here when I don't bring my lunch. I always order from my car outside of my job and my food is always ready by the time I make the short ten minute drive. The food is consistently good. I've never had an issue with the quality of the food at this location. I frequently order the pick two, with a salad and a sandwich. If you order through their app, you recent coupons for frequent visits.

    Where's the meat?!?
    Kimberly H.

    Second time ordering through app and both times order was not right. First time they forgot my sandwich and my friends sandwich had one tablespoon of meat. This last time they forgot to put chicken on my salad and again only a tablespoon of meat. I'll be ordering from the corridor location going forward.

    Amy P.

    Gimme a break. The Buffalo chicken baguette.....with a ridiculously tiny amount of chicken. Even the onions are skimpy. I see 3 slivers. Husband's Black Forest/Gouda baguette had slightly more protein. Neither one is worth the price when I compare against the marketing photos. Once again disappointed by Panera. Fool me once....

    Greek Salad with added egg, chicken, cucumber, and croutons.
    Anna U.

    Greek Salad with Added Chicken, Added Egg, Added Cucumber, Added Croutons, Extra Tomato, Extra Feta Cheese, Extra Onion. Baguette and dressing on the side. My favorite all time menu item to get from this location and has not failed me once. Getting it to go is good but eating it there is sooo much better.

    This panera is always the most hospital. I like this one because of the quick drive-through. I have met friends and associates here over the years and it's a solid clean location.

    Soup and salad  that looks Devine
    Tiffany L.

    Walked in I was greeted Nicely however when I asked the associate what where the ingredients in the salad because they were not listed it was a problem . Eventually she read them, I asked was their a menu so I could see what's he ingredients. The associate read two different selections off to me and I just went on and chose . I had the green Cobb salad , shredded chicken , red onion, avocado , cherry tomatoes bacon crumbles and a few other things . The dressing said ranch but it was a greenish color but it was great . The only concern I had was the the lettuce , before mixing the dressing . I noticed that a good portion of the lettuce was wilted and brown or some of the leafy green had black edges . I removed a good amount and was disappointed that this green salad wasn't as green as advertised . Outside of that my overall experience was fine , just wish the greens were a bit more fresh .

I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC!

    I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

There was live jazz playing. I sat at the bar - shout out to Nnamdi who was the bartender and my waiter. Food wise: brunch only offers the $55 unlimited food option for two hours. I was completely fine with this as I was able to taste multiple dishes. I had the fried deviled eggs, Rockefeller oysters, bang bang shrimp, deep fried snow crab legs, pork chop and grits, wings in hot honey lemon pepper (their signature sauce) and the white chocolate bread pudding I enjoyed everything except the deep fried crab legs. The cluster was hallow. I had more fried batter than crab meat. Deviled eggs were my favorite of all the things I tried. And the bread pudding was sinfully delicious . I wasn't able to finish my last two items ordered but luckily I was able to fit it in the to-go box. Most places that serve unlimited food don't allow to-go boxes so I was happy to not have my leftovers go to waste. I opted for the bottomless cocktails as well.
