They take good care of me. I order customized salads twice a week, lately they've got them correct every time. They seem to have solved the code. read more

Absolutely the worst fast food experience I've ever had. The manager was arguing with employees the entire time and couldn't make a simple Impossible Whopper correctly after three attempts, even though the rest of our order was already finished. She was rude, and when she refunded our money, she didn't even apologize. To make it even worse, the customer after us received a chicken sandwich with no chicken--just a bun. Completely unacceptable. We will never be going back. read more

We were hankering for some Panera yesterday (it was Easter). Their systems let the order go through but apparently they were closed. Which was definitely a bummer. The manager called us this morning to apologize. She didn't have to do that. We put the order through again because their grilled cheese is calling us lol Just based on the customer service I'm happy. read more

This afternoon, I placed an uber eats pick up for Panera for what I thought was the Lisbon location. I showed up to grab my order and they didn't seem to have record of it. When I checked my app, I realized I had placed it at the Groton location as it was labeled as Route 12. The manager at the Lisbon Panera location was significantly more helpful than the Uber customer support. I really appreciated the understanding and willingness to help in what was admittedly my mistake. The food was great, but will make an effort to patronize more because of the customer service. read more

Just an FYI to management - whoever is making breakfast there should be given a tutorial on caring. Ordered an egg white spinach avocado breakfast sandwich and got no spinach or avocado, and the tomatoes were akin to the ones you immediately take off of your subway grinder. The egg and cheese on brioche was cold, the bread was stale, and looked like what an egg sandwich would be if Picasso painted it. read more

Ordered the small lobster roll and I gotta say it's not all that. For the price, it's literally just chilled lobster mixed in mayo served on a leaf of lettuce in a bun meant for hot buttered lobster. The roll was too thick for chilled lobster. The team lead seemed like she didn't want to be there. Her greeting wasn't welcoming at all. read more

I was there a couple days ago. They have a bad service and they don't even care about it when I complain.

This place is filthy, dreadful dirty rugs and most tabletops at 4 o'clock in the afternoon covered with shmutz and crumbs! read more

Panera Bread - dining area - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

I used to go to Panera all the time. I was there virtually every weekend, working on my homework for my masters class, which meant I was there for breakfast and lunch. I really appreciate the fact that they let people stay and work, using their electricity and Wi-Fi. For the first time in three years, I went back to Panera for lunch, and was extremely disappointed. I ordered the steak and white cheddar sandwich and a soda. The cashier did not ask me if I wanted potato chips, or bread, but assumed that I wanted potato chips, which was correct. There were approximately five people waiting at the counter to pick up their food when I walked over, so they were a bit busy. Still, I waited almost 20 minutes for my order, as the first sandwich they made contained onions, which I had asked to not be included. They did catch it before they tried serving it to me, which I appreciate it. still, almost 20 minutes for a sandwich, and a bag of chips is a little excessive, in my opinion. When I got the sandwich, I was incredibly disappointed at the amount of meat in it. I'll post a picture to show you the difference between what it should look like and what I got. For a lunch that cost almost $18, I really would've expected a great deal more. read more

Panera Bread - From Panera's webpage. Yes, I know it's probably it even a real sandwich, but I expected something similar to this. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

This morning, we placed an order for pick up at the Lisbon CT location. We had placed the order at 9:45 am to be delivered by noon at the latest. At 12:15 pm, we received an email stating that our order had been canceled due to lack of drivers. Canceling the order outright at 12:15 shows unprofessionalism on the side of this Panera. This shows that our order was not prepared at all and reflects upon the management of this Panera in general. Furthermore, it was not canceled in enough time for us to reorder for our meeting. the Panera was unreachable by phone as well, when we attempted to call earlier, before Panera canceled the order. We usually order from Panera while we host this training, however this will not be the case moving forward. This showed unreliability and lack of care for the consumer. read more

Panera Bread - Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

Dirty is the word that ones to mind when I stopped in for some soup. And I'm talking the dinning room what must the kitchen area look like.

As a chain it stands out above the rest. Bread and Pastries are fresh and still have the crunch yet soft texture. Tried the lobster roll. Lots of quality meat but no flavor. Ended up sprinkling some salt on it. (Not something that I do). read more

Panera Bread - Lobster roll. Lots of meat!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

Had a very tasteless lobster roll here. People were nice. The roll looked fine. Could perhaps have used more mayo. I'm not sure why it had no flavor but my best guess is the lack of sufficient mayo and probably frozen canned lobster meat. If you're going to do this dish and charge a high price for it, you should do it well. I've heard good things about Panera but this experience taught me that they don't really care about the flavor of the food they serve. They should take this item off the menu if this is how they are going to serve it. Size-wise it was fine. Bread should have been toasted and buttered. read more

Panera Bread - Completely tasteless lobster roll. Seriously the lettuce had more flavor. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

They forget at least one of my items so many times. I don't even order a lot either. One time, it was not even busy and they gave me the wrong soup. . Don't waste your money and time here, there are better places in the area. read more

Three weeks ago, I had a breakfast sandwich and they had left the plastic wrap on from the meat or cheese. Sadly, I did not realize this until I was half way done! They refunded my money, but that is so unacceptable. I felt sick for 2 days. I had also ordered a caramel latte with almond milk. It took 30 minutes for the girl to make it and they were not busy at all. She was only working on mine and my friend 's drinks. When I finally received my masterpiece, it was so tasteless and missing the caramel for the caramel latte. Unreal! Tonight, dinner and it looked like a non went off in the dining room, right after the dinner rush, but the staff was mindful and were working on cleaning it up. Our meals were great and the baguettes were just out of the oven. Much better than last time. read more

Offers curbside on the app but there is no curbside pick up. I went inside and it was MOBBED. They did get my order right but really, please do not offer curbside when it doesn't exist. Also...the 15 minute pickup parking sides were moved to an island and useless. read more

Panera Bread Will Never Be What It Was Years Ago. This Used To Be an Excellent Restaurant Nationwide That Since Being Taken Over By Krispy Kreme A Few Years Ago, Doesn't Have the Decency To Post the Ingredients or Calorie Content Of It's Foods.

Don't bother. I have never written a review like this and thought more than once that maybe I shouldn't write it but after discussing it with the two other people I went with I decided I have to. It was very dirty. The order taker had absolutely no interest in her job. I ordered a mango smoothie which was fine. My husband had a cranberry muffin and a coffee. The coffee was lukewarm, the coffee station was dirty and the milk and half-and-half containers were empty. When I asked for some milk ,the order taker asked me to bring the containers to her so she could fill them up. she informed me that they didn't have any half-and-half so I used the milk. My son asked for a plain toasted bagel with cream cheese. It had no cream cheese on it. We were traveling, so we didn't really check our food before we left and drove away. My husband's comment was that walking in to the restaurant you could tell that none of the workers had any interest in their job. I feel cheated. And I even left a tip. I guess the jokes on me. read more

Good food. The lunch manager on 4/6/19 was excellent, came by to check in pleasantly and quickly. Employees were friendly and helpful enough. Tables could have been wiped cleaner a bit quicker but not too shabby. Should def get Zuppa Toscana soup ;) but the French onion did the trick. read more

I stopped in this location with my parents one Sunday morning for a late breakfast. This location is large and I really enjoyed the outside seating area (even though your only view is of the immense parking lot). Upon ordering, my parents knew what they wanted and placed their order right away. I was standing directly to the side of them and before I was able to place my order, the young female cashier rang up my parents, leaving my order to be placed separately (awkward). I eventually decided on a cinnamon bun and a coffee. I am given a cold cinnamon bun on a plate and an empty cup. Apparently you pour and prepare the coffee yourself from various canisters of flavors. The coffee tasted like it hadn't been changed out since earlier that morning and was lukewarm at best. I then asked if they could warm up the cinnamon bun for me and the girl behind the counter points to a microwave in the center island; no words, no explanation, just points at the microwave. A couple months later, my mother also placed a large to-go order of breakfast goodies, as we had about ten guests staying in our home. She drives twenty minutes home only to find that they forgot the cream cheese for our bagels and our entire danish ring. She calls to see if anything can be done and is told the only way it could be rectified is if she drove back to the store that day. Bad customer service all around at this location. Even though Lisbon is lacking in high quality dining options, I don't see myself visiting this Panera again. read more

I'm really not sure I've been impressed with any Panera's I've eaten at. When you charge $4+ for a kids PB&J...c'mon. I've tried, without luck to keep the bill (for 2, mind you) to under $20 for a bite to eat and drink and it is impossible! This location is ehh. Could be kept up quite a bit more--tables, bathrooms, etc....the staff is all teenage socialites for the most part, so that is reflected in the way the location is run. It's a nice place to sit down and have space to relax for a bit, it's just hard to find something to eat that fills you up at a cost worth spending... read more

This place is trashy and the employees are rude and impatient. The food is ok sometimes but over pricey for simple stuff anyone can make. Get your act together Panera or close up and make way for an actual good establishment that will take care of their customers with actual good food, good prices and nice employees. read more

I love Panera breads Mac and cheese grilled cheese and tomato soup love it to death and back

I love Panera Bread sandwiches and especially their smoothies. However I'm conflicted I like to order via the app & get large smoothies but they never seem to give me a large even after I specify on the printed order receipt of the size. I love you Panera but... 3!! Place is clean & food comes out. read more

Panera hasn't made me happy lately due to the fact that they never have any sesame seed bagels left. I see it like this: if you sell out every day maybe you might want to make a few more but that's just my way of thinking. So anyhoo, I also like them for a few other baked goods so after I went to a restaurant that did not have any deserts (shame on them) I was set on getting something sweet and that's what landed me at Panera. My favorite item is the raspberry almond cookie which I was informed, was replaced by an Apple foot print or some such thing. Needless to say I was not thrilled to find this out. I am a very picky eater and for me to find that perfect raspberry almond cookie took a lot of time and a lot of calories. So I know, get on with it. fine, I decided to get an Almond croissant. I'll admit, it was heaven. And although it did not make me forget about my 1st love, the almond and raspberry cookie, I did get temporary amnesia. Bravo, Panera! read more

Soo good I love this place . Their pick two is just enough to fill your tummy. I had Tomato Soup & half grilled cheese sandwich Delious ! read more

Panera Bread - Best Tomato Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

Not only do they not deliver, they didn't know if they delivered or not...had to go check Then the answer was "we deliver for catering". Umm, yes, that's what catering means. I explained I heard an ad on tv that said they now deliver & was informed "just the Groton store". Further, she explained "No one asks for delivery in this store". Training in telephone technique, maybe? read more

Panera no longer gives you a buzzer when your food is ready, instead they yell out your name, so you have to stand close by no longer can you get a seat and relax. Bought 2 warm chocolate chip cookies and you could have broken a tooth on them they were so hard and burnt tasting. The autumn squash soup was amazing as always. The cheddar broccoli is hit or miss lately, sometimes thick broth sometimes watery. Today was on the thinner side but came piping hot for a change. Love the self service drink station now. read more

Panera Bread - What a sloppy mess of a sandwich. Panera is really slipping! No quality any more. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

If I could give a 1/2 Star, I would because I don't even think they're worth the full star anymore. They have gone WAY downhill since first opening in the Lisbon location. When they first opened I would've given them at least 4 Stars. Ever since they switched employees (every time they do switch) they are too young and inexperienced, rude, impatient, incompetent and never know anything about the items on the menu, promotions, coupons etc. and always have to ask someone else, who asks someone else and it's a never ending chain for a simple question, even the managers. And they have an attitude and get huffy and have no respect for customers whether it's the elderly, disabled or families with children. It's despicable. The prices went up, the food quality and quantity went WAY down. (They got rid of the best items Corn Muffies, Beef Chili w/Corn Muffie crumbles, Chicken Tortilla Soup etc.) Their Salads always tastes dirty and old, their Soups have funky flavors that shouldn't be in there or is too Salty. Heartburn Central, even the Tomato. (And who puts Croutons in Tomato Soup? And big chunks of Tomato, yuck!) And no Sugar to cut the acidity and little to no Cream, canned Tomato Soup tastes better! And their sandwiches are trash now. (Their Grilled Cheese is actually a dry Cheese Panini, not even a Grilled Cheese) Their Bread now tastes stale when it used to be FRESH when they first opened. It's not as busy as it used to be and barely any regulars, I used to be one. I worked across the way back then and always stopped by, 2-3 times a week. Even if I just picked up fresh Bread. (I'll bet this location will be closing, probably within the next 5 years. It definitely should! And they can replace it with a better business!) I would rather pay more at Ruby's next door or Chili's across the way than eat at Panera again! The one in Waterford is just as bad, but they have been that way! It was refreshing when the Lisbon location opened because at first it showed promise and was better than Waterford, now they're both trashy! And the counters and tables are always sticky, full of crumbs etc. Dirt, Mud and Crumbs tracked all over the floor and carpet. Gross. So many employees bopping about doing nothing, it wouldn't kill them to make theirselves useful and clean! And the employees who prepare the food (I refuse to call them cooks) manage to give the food COLD (for Food that should be hot or at least warm) and room temperature (for food that should be cold) But the Butter is always frozen and they mess up orders. And they charge for the price of Tea or Coffee just for a cup of Hot Water! (My mom has to burn food down, but needs special Tea, so she only uses the cup and hot Water) Everywhere else it's either free or 50¢ for the cup! And the last time we went, There were Stink Bugs crawling on the counter and register! I should've called the city to report it and have them closed down! Disgusting! We cancelled our order and left! (Plus the young cashier was very rude, pushy/impatient and didn't know anything about the menu, which of course changed again, and NOT for the better! My mom and I are both disabled and I have an Autistic 4 year old and she was rude from the start, even when hearing my mom couldn't eat solid foods due to a bad surgery) This place is a disgrace now, simply put. read more

Today I took a dip into the world of Panera Bread. Although I wasn't entirely Pleased, I give this place a good 3 stars. The bread on my sandwich was absolutely delicious. Our cashier was rather delightful and very caring and considerate. Although I don't know her name, she was a younger lady with blonde hair. Anyways, the soup was good, and over all the meal was good. However, when I went to go take a bite of my soup, I realized that my spoon was rather dirty, as was everyone else that I had been sitting with. It was kind Of disgusting. So other than the poor dish washing skills, poor table cleaning skills, and over population, I was pleased. read more

Panera Bread - Delicious Meal - Sandwiches Near Me - Lisbon, Connecticut

For a quick food restaurant the food is very good. However let me start by saying that the person at the front should always acknowledge the customer waiting for service. Say something, anything! Let us know that you will be right with us. It also surprises me that there are many tables with crumbs on them at 7:15 in the morning. We order two breakfast sandwiches and they got the order wrong. My husband and I were able to trade the ingredients to make it right as we didn't want to wait. There is no reason why this location could not be better. read more

I usually an a fan of Panera....this particular location (Lisbon, ct) is making a bad name for the brand. The food is mediocre at best. Sloppily put together and soup is lukewarm. Pastries are after overcooked and hard. The dining room is a whole different disaster. The floors are filthy and littered with napkins and straw wrappers the tables are crusted with sticky food and crumbs that have probably been there from the day before. The seats at the tables are filthy too. I looked for napkins to wipe them off but there were none to be found. Every dispenser empty. The beverage stations were also messy (big surprise) The counters sticky and trash everywhere. Probably because the cans were full so they just started leaving it on the counter. Needless to say I will not be back to this panera ever. Which sucks because it's close to my house and rather convenient. Btw...I mentioned the condition of the restaurant to the manager and all she did was roll her eyes. It was not busy. They could have addressed the issues. read more

We used to love picking up lunch here, then heading to the movies. Over the past year, we've watched the portion sizes shrink, though, while the prices have gone up. (Meanwhile, the Panera in Waterford is less expensive and boasts larger portion sizes.) It's hard for us to enjoy lunch at this location anymore because we feel like we're being ripped off. The food is okay. Standard. Not bad, not amazing. Same for the service. read more

The trouble with Panera is that the food is amazingly yummy yet waaaayyy over priced!! I got a soup and half a sandwich and so did my husband and it was just about $30!!!! And the portions are super small! Come on Panera, you are in America, home of the super sized and ur gonna charge that amount for a friggen half a sandwich with a small cup of soup?!?! Its ridiculous, I love the food but make it bigger portions for less money and then you'd really be in business! read more

I love Panera Bread in general. The food and service here is consistent with other Paneras I have been to, except a little smaller and less seating. I enjoy the outdoor space they have created. I'm particularly happy that there is place in this area to bring my laptop to, since it appears to be a scarcity. read more

Stopped here for quick bite midway between Stratford, CT. and Smithfield, RI. Ordered "2 for" cup of turkey chile and 1/2 turkey cranberry flatbread, cup of coffee. Bill came to 12.84, Chili was watered down and did not even fill the cup 3/4 of way. 1/2 flatbread mushy, 2 small pieces of turkey and about 6 pieces of leaf spinach. Cranberry spears was watery. Such a disappointment! Love their oatmeal I get occ. in the AM but this lunch was horrible. Was not worth $5.00, never mind almost 11.00! will never have lunch there again. What is happening! You cannot raise prices and lower quality of food and not have people notice! Do something before it is too late. read more
