We stopped for lunch on Thursday and were very pleased with our choice! We were already familiar with their menu, and we wanted Turkey Chili which was still available on the menu. The Assistant Manager was super friendly and helpful with our orders. The cooking staff was also helpful and friendly, as we needed some butter for our bread. The food was good and hot. I will be coming back for sure! read more

Well order through the App. When I got there I waited and waited. Saw bags on counter. I waited and waited till I ask this nice young man about orders sitting on counter. Then I waited and waited for my half gallon tea. They really need some management here at this location. The girl behind the register was great. Great job. Felicia. Sandwich was good and hot but thrown together. read more

If I wrote this review a few months ago it would have only gotten a 2 star since my order always gets messed up. However, the last few times I've been here my order has been perfect! Yay! Love that this Panera has a drive through too. Regina is the sweetest lady here! She's so accommodating and just makes you smile! Her upbeat personality makes you happy and my son thanks her for getting his egg and cheese breakfast sandwich! :) My favorites: Broccoli cheddar soup (taste good with chips) Turkey bravo sandwich Autumn squash soup (sweet, cinnamon flavor) Kids meal: PBJ on honey wheat sandwich w/ organic yogurt Egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich (delicious) Love that Panera is 1 of 2 restaurants (Chipotle) that got rated a health grade report of an A. They said that more than a decade ago, they served chicken raised without antibiotics! Other restaurants earned an F for their use of meat and poultry with the routine use of antibiotic. Enough said! Panera is my go to place for sandwiches! read more

I cannot believe this needs to be said but apparently it does. If you want people to return to start that journey towards normalcy again you need to offer a lot of the basics. There are NO BAGELS at this store except Cinnamon Crunch and flats. It wasn't even 10AM either. What a huge disappointment. This is ridiculous. Stunningly out of touch. read more

I use to love Panera, but today it was awful. Portions have gotten tiny while price didn't go down. Absolutely awful taste too. It's disgusting and we will never again use them. They've ran their course. read more

Ordered a soufflé in the drive through and received a cold one. Like out of the refrigerator cold. I parked and went in. Was told there's a microwave over there. read more

What a unpleasant experience from the get go-right in the door and "Gabrielle" our "host at the counter". Management needs to place her back into customer interaction training. Hate posting neg reviews but DAMN! read more

Staff are always rude and not wanting to do any work making me feel like I am inconveniencing them by coming in and ordering. I constantly come in the morning and theres barely any bagels or coffee left. Worst panera location I have ever went to. read more

Panera Bread - The usual selection of bagels at 10am. They don't make any more for the day either. - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

8:30 and closed?! Wth, seriously just lost a customer, it's the second time I've went there and they shut down early. I won't come back. Why? When you won't service me. Waste of time and mad cuz when I finally choose where I want to eat I can't. read more

Someone needs to clean the men's bathroom! If the bathrooms are not clean, then the rest of the kitchen is probably not clean either. I would have left if I had went to the bathroom first. Food was okay except at 12:00, there were no bagels left except 2 everything bagels. Front counter service was courteous and patient. read more

I like this place and the employes. However I guess due to Covid-19 (I've noticed this across the board) this restaurant has gone down. Place is looking a little ratty. Bathroom stinks and no paper towels. No excuse for that. read more

I am surprised that this store is getting such a low rating because I had an awesome experience! It was my first visit to Panera, and I quickly became a fan :) The food and customer service were good! I stayed at a nearby hotel, so when I stay there again, I will definitely come here. read more

Panera Bread - Very tasty - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Multiple times this place has disappointed me. Substandard food, incorrect orders, rude staff, dirty floors, where should I begin? Last straw was my- French Onion Soup in Bread Bowl. After ordering and paying for them, I got soup in a bowl and a piece of bread on side. When I brought this to attention of the staff, I was told they were out of bread bowl. This is third time I am hearing at this place that they are out of bread bowls. This could have been told to me while placing the order or before making the order. In addition soup was overtly salty, contain no cheese and watered down. Not again! read more

Panera Bread - Cinnamon Crunch Bagel w/Hazelnut Cream Cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

This was the second or third time I went all the way here and ended up having to leave without eating, it smelled so disgusting. It smells like someone peed all over the floor months ago and it was never cleaned up, and like piles of trash were left around. I don't think they know how to clean here, how to really be vacuuming consistently or using hot water and sanitizer on the tables and counters throughout the day, or mopping floors every night with clean water, or deep cleaning booths and floorboards and windows and stuff. No more chances. If they're obviously this careless about simple cleanliness, I doubt they're careful in the kitchen handling food. This place'll probably be shut down soon anyway. read more

This Place is RACIST towards white women. I've gone in twice to order and both times I was asked to use the computer to the side to order by the same skinny black lady. After the black lady behind the counter waited on the black lady in front of me, I walked up to order. She rolled her eyes and was Extremely rude and condescending. I asked her if she was ok? she continued to be extremely rude, so asked for a manager. Disgusting that a business would let an employee act like this. I will never go back. read more

Ordered soup and salad both with chicken. Asian soup had none . Salad a little bit. Sugary dressing. Not a good value for the money. Waste of money. After $14 plus tip read more

Never even got to eat here. Drove through at 8:30 and it was closed (Google says it's supposed to close at 9. That level of laziness is definitely reflected in the food that other people have posted photos of. I only gave it 3 stars instead of 1 because I never actually got to eat, but that is something in itself. read more

Worst Panera I've ever visited--period. Ordered a bagel and cream cheese and a soup. Took about 20 minutes and there were three total customers in the restaurant--including me! Every employee seemed busy just sort of wandering around--to and from the bathroom, to and from various parts of the counter area, just bizarre. One employee was coughing all over the bagels as she swept the floor. Another employee needed help working the bagel slicer. Just an all around awful experience. read more

Just had the worst sandwich ever. The turkey, apple, cheddar was so wet / soggy I couldn't eat it. I took it apart to maybe just eat the turkey since it was so wet it was dripping everywhere, but there wasn't but one little tiny piece of turkey. I don't know what they did, but it wasn't good at all. Also, while there 2 employees were talking so loudly right up front at the registers it was a complete distraction. One was going on and on about how it's awful to work with someone who won't do their own work. It didn't need to be discussed at the registers in front of customers. This restaurant needs some help really, really bad!!! read more

Had been traveling on the road all day and had an upset stomach so wanted some soup and panera seemed to be the only place around with that option. Came in at 8:58 when they closed at 9:00, they let us come in and make a to go order! The service was fast and the workers were very sweet and helpful. read more

Drive thru order for cup of soup & half grilled cheese. Neither the broccoli cheese soup or sandwich had REAL cheese, but rather what I call 'plastic' cheese, so little the American cheese slices are considered cheese 'food'. The sandwich was NOT grilled, but barely warm, with no discernible cheese flavor. Check out SONIC & you'll know what the competition is! The soup had a powdered cheese food flavor like the orange plastic stuff served @ most concession stands, For $10.52, this was a huge rip-off. The only good thing in the bag was a torn, not cut?, chunk of baguette with a good crust/crumb & flavor but it was tossed in the bottom of the bag unwrapped - eeewwhhh! I was in line with no one in front of me and it was a WAIT - maybe for that stuff in my sandwich to melt?? Well, it didn't, Panera's brand has gone south, but the prices continue to go up. I foresee the demise of Panera. read more

It's hit or miss really. But 9 times out of ten when I go for lunch my food is good and so is the timing. Food comes out quick and someone always comes by the table to ask how everything is. I like that at noon pastries are 99 cents when you get a drink with you meal. I always go for that and get sucked into extras calories :) Whoop!! read more

Panera Bread - 1/2 & 1/2 lunch combo. The lady that brought my food noticed that my sandwich was less than half so she told them to fix it. Lol - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

I love Panera Bread's fresh food. It is always tasty to me. I can count on getting something good wherever I visit them. I tried the Turkey Bravo sandwich today and it is delicious. The cream of broccoli soup is a favorite of mine and always wonderful. I'm also trying a Pecan Braid. Gotta be decadent sometimes . It looks delicious. read more

Panera Bread - Turkey Bravo sandwich, cream of broccoli soup, and a Pecan Braid. Yum! - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Not sure how the food was I didn't order it. However what I am posting about is a lady in my office ordered Panera Bread and a young lady delivered it to our office with a Panera Bread sign on the top of her car. Where did she park? Glad you asked......she pulled up and parked in the handicapped parking space in front of our office. No handicap tags or window hanger in her car. This will stop me from ordering from them or eating there. read more

Food was quick and fresh. Employee that waited on us was very patient. Coffee was hot and fresh. Both of us enjoyed everything. 4 stars instead of five because they got our soups mixed up on our plates with sandwiches. Or visaversa. read more

On this Saturday morning we arrived to see the manager dutifully cleaning the parking lot of trash. The startling thing was that rather than properly disposing of this trash the manager dropped the trash into a parking lot drop inlet and into the storm drain. Look out Arkansas River and those downstream. Here comes trash from Panera Bread on Kanis Road of Little Rock. read more

Curbside pick up was supposed to be ready at 5:50 PM. After waiting in the designated curbside parking for 15 minutes past the posted ready time I called the restaurant. The person i talked too didn't seem to know that it was a curbside order and just hung up the phone and then brought my order out to the car. I'm guessing my order was just setting there and no one was going to bring it out unless I called ?? I would suggest skipping curbside and just going into the restaurant, but that defeats the whole purpose of Curbside to stay safe with COVID ?! read more

This was my first time here at this location. I was so excited that we were able to make it to the restaurant prior to close. I ordered the Italian combo, butter cookie and a drink. I also asked for my sandwich to be heated. My mouth was ready to devour my food when I realized that they had heated up my tomatoes and lettuce. I was like ??? Come on people. All u can say is Lazy..Lazy.. Lazy.. Instead of warming up my bread and meat then adding the lettuce and tomatoes they cheated and just threw the whole thing on the grill. :( read more

Panera Bread - Italian Combo - Sandwiches Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

At chains, the food is always consistent. The more important factor is the service. The service was quick and the staff was friendly.

Two stars only bc the food was done well, this time. The cashier did not give me everything I ordered, though. Most importantly, the place continues to be filthy... Again. Gobs of long hair in the condiment bin, crumbs all over the tables and seats. I love it when I go to sit down and I have to clean the crumbs that fell out of the mouths of some others some time before me. Oh, and there was more hair, this time on my table. read more

I come here during lunch and their customer service at the drive- thru is horrible. Like I'm bothering them while ordering my food. Ownership needs to step it up and hire quality people who can give great service. read more

Where do I even begin? This was one of the nastiest places I've ever encountered. It smelled so bad upon walking in I lost my appetite. After visiting the restroom I decided against eating and just waited while the person I was with ate. I took pictures instead. The wallpaper and baseboards are falling off the walls. Both bathroom stalls had empty seat liner containers. Ripped booth seats with food on them. Dirty floors, dirty counters. At the front counter they had a display saying "add a cold drink", but their very unappetizing display consisted of old empty bottles of used drinks with what looks like backwash in them and a can that was dented in several spots. Drink machines were dirty and right next to the drink station is a nasty cart with dirty empty buckets and a trash station piled high with gross dirty dishes. They weren't busy at all and there were at least a dozen employees there (a few on break) plus a manager, Charles. This location was so disgusting I feel compelled to contact their corporate offices because this place is a disgrace and someone should be really embarrassed that it is allowed to be so gross. read more

See all

Absolute incompetence running this place. Ive been by 3 times during open hours and the drive thru is just closed. This time we roll up at 8:28 and guess what - CLOSED drive thru again. Store hours are posted as closing at 9. They are consistently closing drive thru half an hour before closing. Pure incompetent management here, not representative of the majority of Panera. read more

Waited in drive through for 30 minutes to just get a small macaroni and cheese. People behind me and in front of me left without food, because they were tired of waiting as well. Horrible drive thru service. Not even an apology for the wait. read more

Terrible. Out of everything and I got a whole Napa Almond Chicken Salad sandwich with half a spoonful of chicken salad. WTH!!! I have never had such a terrible experience at a Panera. Had I not been already in my hotel room, I would have gone back and thrown this sandwich back in the window. read more

Portions WAY too small for how much they charge, chips were almost inedible. If I could give minus stars I would

Panera is Panera. I'm rating 5 stars for the outstanding service tonight. Came in at the end of the night and they were so nice and welcoming to us, even coming in 15 minutes before close. Thank you!!! read more

This is not our first visit here. Last time was better. Can't complain about the food. Always great. Today I had an Asiago and a Sesame bagel Chive/Honey Walnut cream cheeses. Bae had Avocado Egg white and Spinach on an Asiago bagel. We drank Orange Ginger hot tea. Great. My complaint today is the bathroom. Smelled fresh. No toilet tissue in the large stall. But on a positive note, they did have seat liners. read more

Must try the mac & cheese or the chicken frontega! Also the new lemon chicken orzo is pretty yummy!
