Hearty Fireside Chili
L M.

This review is about the food. First, I have to say the service from the cashier at the front counter was excellent. She was kind, patience and help me with my order. Secondly, the young lady who served my chili at the Rapid Pickup window was super friendly and warm and wish me a good day. The inside was nice and clean and smell great. Now the food. I had a cup of the fire side chili and it was nice and hot on a chilly day. Unfortunately the chili was not original. In all honesty, it taste like Homell chili out of a can. To no fault of the employees, the chili wasn't good and certainly not worth $6 and some change. If you want canned chili taste than go to the market. Do Not get Panera Bread chili. I recommend you get something else. I suggest the old standby broccoli cheddar. I wish I had gotten that instead. Oh, the baguette was fresh at this location too. I included my receipt so you can see the chili and the price.

I've been going to Panera bread for a long time. Never had any issues, and their food is very tasty. Customer service has always been top-notch (knock on wood), that's another reason why I keep returning. Hopefully, it stays that way.

Panera Bread that is located in the okolona community of the city of louisville just off outer loop road next to the busy Jefferson mall intersection. Panera bread is a chain that I'm hit and miss on. I do enjoy there breakfast menu the most. However they have some solid lunch items such as flat bread pizzas and a few sandwiches I enjoy. My wife and oldest daughter move the broccoli cheddar bowls as well. This location is usually pretty clean and well upkept on the inside and despite long lines on the inside and drive thru they process them quickly. Even though on bardstown road there is a Panera location probably a mile or two closer to my house I still frequent this one more as they have better customer service and are more accurate with orders. Overall Panera is a solid franchise. I do enjoy the pre order option on the app where I can come in and grab my food to go. That's a nice option they have added in the last few years.

Strawberry Poppyseed Salad
Billy A.

I've looked through the reviews and saw that many of them are from 2+ years ago. I haven't had the problems that others have had and that remained the case today on my lunch visit. No issues with my order at all and I got it pretty fast in the drive thru. I got a Pick 2 with the Strawberry Poppyseed salad and the Broccoli Mac n Cheese. Everything tasted great and was the appropriate temperature. The only thing I will say is that they don't really ask what side you want. They just give me the baguette consistently. Other than that I haven't had some of the really bad experiences that some of these folks have had so maybe it's time to revisit for some of them? I don't know...I'll continue to come to this one because I have several schools in the area, so I'm always around. Thanks Panera!

Pick two 7/3/21
Ashley S.

I love me some Panera bread. It's a great lunch place. I am a creature of habit and always order the pick two with the Greek salad and the Turkey chili. I got their Madagascar vanilla almond cold brew and it was surprisingly good. Food was decently quick and delicious.

This SuperFruit Smoothie is awesome
Tray M.

Panera Bread is a great place. They never disappoint me. The customer service is top notch is amazing. The moment I walk in the smell of delicious goodness just make me smile. The service was super fast and great. Food ordered Super Fruit Smoothie Cinnamon Roll Pecan Braid The Super Fruit Smoothie taste great. So many flavors all in one. Literally drunk it in 3 minutes The Pecan Braid. Ate that in restaurant and wanted more lol The Cinnamon Roll was amazing as well. Great breakfast to kick start the weekend.

I went to Storming Crab for the first time in a couple of years (since getting my braces), and let…read moreme just say -- it did not disappoint. We started off with a few appetizers to share between four of us, and they were actually really interesting. I tried this crab cake that had what tasted like another type of crab cake inside of it -- I've never had anything like that before, but it was really good and definitely unique. The honey barbecue wings though? Those were TO DIE FOR. Easily one of my favorite things we ordered. The hushpuppies, on the other hand, were small and pretty mid -- definitely something I could've done without. For the main, we went with the seafood deal, which came out to about $163, and honestly it was still a solid value for how much food you get. It included about a pound each of two different types of crab, two pounds of shrimp, a pound of sausage, corn, potatoes, and two lobsters. And let me tell you -- those lobsters were so juicy and meaty. I've never had lobster like that before. Easily one of the highlights of the whole meal. Just a heads up -- it does not come with eggs, which we didn't realize until we were already eating, so definitely add that if you want it. We got the Cajun seasoning with a hot level, and it was SO good. I learned their house Cajun is basically a mix of all their seasonings, which makes sense because the flavor was hitting. Everything came out super hot and fresh, and we even had leftovers. They say it feeds 4-6 people, but realistically, I'd say it's perfect for about 4 people if you're actually hungry. Drinks were also a highlight. They have $5 lemon drops specifically on Thursdays, which is a great deal. The mango lemon drop was AMAZING -- hands down the best flavor. The passionfruit and strawberry didn't hit the same for me, and just a heads up, some flavors cost an extra dollar, which we weren't told upfront. But I will say -- after a mango and a passionfruit one, it definitely hit. Service overall was good, and you honestly couldn't tell our server was new, but we did have one issue -- we asked multiple times for eggs and they were forgotten. Between the missing add-on, the inconsistency with some of the lemon drop flavors, and that small service slip, it was enough for me to knock off a star. That said, the food, portions, and overall experience were still really strong.

I'm eating my boil and I pull a hair out of my food. I usually never have an issue with this place…read morebut today I am disgusted!! After paying $54 this is the last ingredient I expected! The service over the phone was very quick and abrupt as if they were busy when taking my order over the phone. When I got there no one was in the parking lot so it was NOT busy and there was no rush! I am not happy with the overall cleanliness and now I have wasted money because I can't even finish this!!

I started the new…read moreyear with a quest to branch out from my go-to places and discovered Shawarma King during an online search. There is no website and as I wanted to experience it in-person anyway, I popped in to peruse the menu and obtain the inside scoop. The person who took my order was fabulous - when I asked about vegan options she began listing SO MANY, including stuffed grape leaves, lentil soup, sauteed vegetables, hummus, baba ghanoush, most of the salads, falafel, fries, rice, on and on. There were many choices I couldn't order them all (this time) so we tried: hummus and baba ghanoush (both come with pita), tabbouleh, falafel (comes with pickled veggies and tahini), and the falafel sandwich - just yes. Everything was fabulous - really complex flavors and carefully prepared and packaged. As I stopped by on my way home from work and planned to share with my dining companion at home I ordered our food to go. There are several tables that one could sit at to enjoy their food in the restaurant if desired. In addition to the restaurant menu they also have a butcher counter, freezer area, and deli section. Pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality - I will absolutely be back. I better see you there.

I had spent the morning at nearby Highview Park and was really wanting a coffee. I prefer to…read moresupport local businesses so I did a Yelp search for a coffee shop nearby. After driving by it because we didn't see a sign for a coffee shop, we turned around and found out is a part of High Foods. We were greeted upon entering and browsed the coffee side of the shop while the staff completed a food order. The inside of the shop has an almost industrial feel with several tables and some bench seating on one side. Several arcade games are available for those who enjoy them. The most impressive thing about our visit was the pride that Tammy, our server (and apparently the cook and barista!), took in her work. It was obvious that she loved the establishment and her job. After finding out it was my first visit, she went out of her way to share the menus and told me about local favorites. She was very outgoing, friendly, and willing to find suitable substitutions with the coffee menu that would accommodate my dietary needs. I was also thrilled when I learned that the cardboard sleeve on my coffee had artwork by children from a local elementary school! What a great way to get children involved in their community. Having already had lunch, I didn't get to try the food. But everything that I saw looked delicious. One patron was eating a BLT that made my mouth water! Tammy told us about their breakfast menu and I can't wait to go back to try some menu items.

Little expensive but I guess you pay for what you get so it's today I got a ham and provolone regular and the sign said $8.50 And it rang up 1171 for a regular ham and provolone so it's a little expensive but it's still really good. Service is always top-notch here. The ambience is nice and clean. I would definitely go back.

We recently paid our first visit to this Jersey Mike's location while out for a Saturday afternoon…read moreof errands. While normally a fan of Jersey Mike's I will admit that this wasn't our best experience. I get the impression that this store isn't very old and there must have been a great deal of training going on. I counted 10 or 11 personnel on staff during the entirety of our visit. That's a lot of people. And by "that's a lot of people" I mean that there were so many that they were tripping over each other. The store was mostly clean, with the tabletops being the exception. They could have all used some attention and we had to actually wipe food crumbs off of the table when we sat down. I ordered a turkey and provolone (a cold sub) and my wife got a cheesesteak (a hot sub). I ordered mine Mike's Way, and I wish I was paying more attention. Yes, I like lettuce and tomato and onion on my sub and I also like vinegar and oil, but not NEARLY as much as this sub had on it. While I was conversing with the person next to me in line the young man who was "Mike's Way"-ing my sub decided that more vinegar and oil wasn't enough, so kept adding more. When it came time to pay we clearly stated that I wanted chips and a drink, my wife only wanted a drink. They rung us both up for chips and a drink, so we ended up with a bag of chips for both of us because the person who rang us up wasn't listening. I got my sub and our chips and drinks and returned to our table. Still no sub for my wife...and there wouldn't be for nearly another 10 minutes (and that is not an exaggeration). Like I said, there were A LOT of people behind that counter. I did not enjoy my turkey and provolone sub. Too much oil. Too much vinegar. It made the bread soggy, it made the top bun slide around, and it made it an absolute mess to eat. My wife and I resigned ourselves to a less-than-stellar visit. Before we left the restaurant I wanted to use the restroom. Shortly before I went to use the restroom a male employee entered. I went back to try the door 2 or 3 times, but the employee was still in there (my wife was sitting facing the restroom.) Waited 15 minutes to use the restroom. Never was able to because I got tired of waiting. I want to thank that employee for being considerate of the customers. (#sarcasm) While it wasn't an entirely bad visit, it's nowhere near what we normally expect from Jersey Mike's. The next time I'm in the mood for Jersey Mike's, this definitely isn't the location I'm heading to.
