    Izzy loves the Asiago cheese bagels!

    Great service, very friendly, helpful, and courteous. They are so gracious from the manager on down. Great coffee, bagels, soufflé etc.

    I don't usually go to any Panera cafes unless it's really on my mind or the only place around mainly because I don't eat breakfast snacks or have coffee outside of home or office usually. Outside of their delicious sandwiches, soup and scones, I am not much familiar with Panera's menu. Can't remember when I last had any of that. Anyway, I came here to kill time while getting my car fixed. I was hungry. This place was semi busy. They had their staff attending to the customers as the customers came. I took a while to decide what I wanted as I was thoroughly browsing though their menu to decide what I exactly wanted. I decided on their new Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich on brioche bun and a medium hazelnut coffee. The sandwich came with the option of three sauce choices. Sweet Maple, Chipotle (something) or Basil Pesto. I went with Basil Pesto. The order processing took a little bit longer than usual as the cashier had some trouble inputting my request. But there was no problem. Once I got my cup for coffee, I went for their hazelnut pot but it was empty. The other coffee pots were either super low or empty as well. A gentleman before me tried to get the hazelnut coffee but the pot hadn't been refilled. He said, it has been out for about ten minutes. He then informed the manager to refill it and the other pots to which the manager got to right away. I didn't have problem with it as I didn't have to wait long or anything. However, the staff should have checked the pots given how busy it was in the cafe. My sandwich was ready just a few minutes later. It was prepared with the bacon missing on it. I informed the staff member behind the counter right away and they added the bacon right away and apologized for it. Okay, no problem! The sandwich looked fine but it was on the small side. Although, I think it's probably the standard size anywhere else you go to such places. It tasted good. I liked the Vermont white cheddar cheese the most. The bacon wasn't hot but it wasn't over or under cooked. So that's fine. The bun was soft and had griddle marks which I liked. The coffee was just okay/ average in taste. Nothing special. It had a mild hazelnut flavor and kinda tasted a bit watered down. Overall, I felt that the food and service were average (as in just the norm of any such places on a busy morning). Nothing bad or extra ordinarily good. I would go back to any Panera when in the mood for their sandwiches and soups (and maybe scones) but that's about it.

    Not enough dressing!

    Seriously Panera? How can I enjoy a salad when you barely fill the TINY dressing cups half way?!

    Kids love it!

    I typically can always count on Green Room serving up great food and drinks, however my last visit…read morewas a bit of a disappointment. I ordered the Pad Thai with tofu, the staple menu item I order each time I visit. My guest ordered the Mongolian beef. My pad Thai came out visibly different than times past. It looks almost watered down and the tofu was not coated and seared with the beautiful crust it normally has. I ate it and it tasted... sour. Normally this pad Thai leans savory over sweet, but this time it just straight up tasted sour. The tofu was nothing to write home about, which is typically not the experience I have here. The Mongolian beef tasted like it had more sear on the meat than actual beef. It tasted over-charred. The rice and veggies were good, but that's kind of a simple feat. I ordered the Pomegrantate martini which was good. The space was also very hot, I understand it's a hot day and a busy restaurant but my legs were dripping in sweat the entire hour we were there. I will give them a try again, because I know from previous experiences the pad Thai was usually great. That tofu is what I keep coming back for! Hopefully next time it'll meet my expectations. This was this past weekend on Friday night.

    Disgusting staff and customer service…read more I arrived at the Vernon Hills location at 9:35 PM with my wife after not having eaten all day. I was fully aware the restaurant closed at 10:00 PM, but I still had 25 minutes before closing. When I walked in, I was immediately met with a nasty look and no greeting. Instead, I was asked what I needed. I was then told they were "pretty much closed" because everything had already been cleaned up and put away. I told them I wanted the Pick Two with a salad and a sandwich. They had nothing but an attitude and clearly had no motivation to make the food. One of them grabbed a to-go container and just assumed I wanted it to go without even asking me. At that point, I simply said, "Just forget it. I'll go somewhere else." It's absolutely disgusting how a business or its employees could treat a customer like this. If you're open until 10:00 PM, customers should be able to order until 10:00 PM without being made to feel like they're a burden. They're lucky my wife was with me to keep me from escalating the situation further because it would have gotten much worse. I own my own business, and I would never treat my customers the way I was treated tonight.

    The fresh ingredients drew me to try this place out for a late lunch. Such a great location in…read moreMelody Farms. The menu boasts so many fresh options, it was hard to decide. I ended up doing the Try 2 Combo - a full sandwich and cup of soup. The sandwich was flavorful, but the filling felt lacking. I ended up taking off the top slice of bread to even out the ratio of bread to meat and I'm glad I did, because the lettuce on the sandwich was wilted. The chickpea and vegetable soup was packed with vegetables and had a flavorful broth. The bread and chocolate covered strawberry included were a nice touch and made it feel like you were getting a lot for your money. The interior of the restaurant is huge - lots of seating available. The staff was friendly and welcoming.
