Rock hard Dozen & a Half Bagels
Gypsy G.

Stopped in early this morning to get bagels and spread.... A variety of bagels. I was... I was- looking forward to a delicious everything bagel.... Well all of them sounded good so got a few of each for everyone. Hard as a rock. The only ones not harder than were the Asiago ones. So money wasted- and thankfully no dentist visit cause no one is eating these.

Wilted lettuce and tomato

I order a Cobb Salad. Lettuce was not green and tomato wilted. No bread bowls for chili and then no bread to add on the side or bread loafs of any kind. Service was terrible. I've been to just about all the other ones in Louisville. Stay away from this one I would give 0 stars if I could.

Know how to keep a U of M grad busy for a few hours?
Rob F.

First, the REALLY good stuff: As we entered, a Panera employee who was evidently going on his break opened the door for us, gave us a big smile, and says "Welcome! Come in!" He also took a moment to talk with us and told us there must be something going on downtown because they were really slow. And, the good stuff: The place was clean, the food was good, and when we finally managed to place our order, it didn't take very long for the food to be ready. And now, the reason I'm bothering to write this review: When we walked to the counter we found signs that said the registers were closed and we should use a kiosk to order. As an Ohio State fan, I'm familiar with an old joke: You write "Want to know how to keep a University of Michigan graduate busy for a few hours? See other side" on both sides of a sheet of paper (for thouse U of M grads who might need an explanation, you read one side of the paper and follow its instructions to turn the paper over. Then, when you read that second side of the sheet of paper, you follow its instructions to turn the paper over. And there you are, turning the paper over again, and again, and again until, after a few hours, you think "ahhhhh! I get it!" and put down the sheet of paper). Someone at this Panera must be an OSU fan, because when we walked to the closest available kiosk, the display said there was a problem of some sort and we should go to the counter to place our order. I can just picture U of M grads walking back and forth between the counter and the kiosk, can't you? Anyhow, rather than walk back to the counter, we waited for some folks using a working kiosk to finish placing their order. And we waited. And we waited. Obviously, they were no more familiar with running a Panera kiosk than we were. I've never used a Panera kiosk before, and in the time it took me to enter an order of soup and sandwich for my dad, a drink for my dad, and an order of soup and sandwich for myself, those folks who ordered ahead of us had received their order and were just sitting down to eat. I would have given this Panera a 5 start rating for this visit if we'd been able to walk up to the counter and place our order. But, while I realize those kiosks never call in sick, don't go on vacation, and aren't payed overtime for working extra hours, I'd much rather see the money I spend go towards paying someone a wage than to buying kiosks.

I've eaten at a lot of Panera locations, some are great and some are average. This location fits squarely in the "average" category. To be more precise, it's probably more hit-or-miss than anything. For probably 20 years Panera has been our Sunday Lunch location, regardless of where we lived. It wasn't until we moved to Louisville that that habit started to change. That change was largely precipitated by the large number and variety of restaurants in the area. Second behind that is the service at the Panera Bread locations in the area. The food is usually good at this location, it tends to be the service (or lack thereof) that takes away from the experience. On one occasion we were given a pager after our order was placed. We go our drinks and sat down, waiting for the pager to go off. After about 20 minutes it hadn't gone off so I went to the delivery window to check on the food. Our order was sitting there. Our pager hadn't gone off, and they never called our name. I guess that's just what they do when no one responds to the pager. They let it sit until it gets cold. And that's exactly what happened. My Cuban sandwich and my wife's soup had gotten cold. When I asked the person behind the counter she asked if I wanted a fresh one. REALLY? NO, I'll take the cold one and my wife would lover her chicken and wild rice soup just at room temperature, thanks. *OF COURSE* I want fresh food! Did you really have to ask? It seemed to annoy the person behind the counter. I didn't care. It was this incident that kept us away from this location for the better part of a year. I'm also not a fan of the of the self-ordering stations they're trying to push customers toward. You've got staff, let them take the orders. (Likewise McDonald's and their order kiosks). But that's just me. This facility has always been clean and (aside from the incident above) the food has always been good. Service times often lack, but the staff (aside from the incident above) is usually pretty friendly and helpful. Is this the best Panera I've been in? No. Is this the worst Panera I've been in? No. (that distinction goes to the now-defunct Oxmoor location) Will I go back? Probably. The last couple visits have been pretty good, so I'm hoping so.

First time to eat here, menu is outrageous. Wide variety of foods and food options. My wife had a…read moresteak sandwich, loved it, I think she gave it a good 10. I had the CHZBGRWICH, another good 10 sandwich. I can tell you exactly what I had because I have the order menu in front of me, we decided to keep my order information and I'm looking right at it. The crew was energetic and friendly. They knew what they were doing and were really helpful and nice. The space reminded us like the Subway, but was a lot better than a subway. It was just better than a subway store, Which Wich felt like a space at your home, a space that is comfy and cozy and relaxing. Below is the menu. Try this Which Wich, you'll enjoy it also.

Which Wich continues to be a favorite of my kids and for me, I have preferences for many other…read morespots. I appreciate the options and concept of this sandwich shop; however, it lacks an edge for flavors and its bread. I dined in with my kids and they each picked a regular sandwich, customizing it with meat and toppings. I asked for a kids meal with roast beef and cheese. They toasted it, which reminded me of an Arby's sandwich. It was advertised as coming with a drink, chips and treat. None of these items were passed over to me with the sandwich so we asked another team member for clarification and help to get the full meal. Which Wich will continue to be a pick up option for the kids. Easy to order online and I'd recommend this if you're on a schedule as it took awhile to get our sandwiches (I've been spoiled by the quick speed of other places).

A friend and I walked to Boone's Deli from one of the neighboring bars for a sandwich. It was a…read moreweeknight and it was fairly quiet. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order. I ordered the Buff Chicken sandwich and added a bag of chips. The sandwich was huge. I couldn't eat the entire sandwich. It was very tasty with a spicy ranch dressing on it. It also had jalapeños but it wasn't too spicy. The staff were very friendly and talked to us about many of their sandwiches and provided recommendations. Whole there was seating in a side room of the deli, we took our orders to go and spend some time with friends at 3rd Turn Brewing down the street.

I'd read about Boone's Deli online and had wanted to visit, but the chance never happened...until…read moreit did. :) On a recent Sunday afternoon we paid Boone's Deli a visit. The local eatery on the other side of Taylorsville Road the weekend before was a huge let down, but we'd heard nothing but good things about Boone's. The menu board isn't a board but actually more like a scroll, with all the menu items written on the 3 rolls of brown (for lack of a better word) packing paper on the wall. HIGH marks for creativity! (Hopefully the menu items don't change TOO often. It would be a headache to write all that stuff down regularly!) I opted for a spicy roast beef sandwich (exactly what I don't remember. I've slept since then). You can also get chips or one of a few types of home made salads (think macaroni salad, potato salad, etc) or cole slaw. I'm a HUGE fan of cole slaw, and in the case it looked delicious and peppery (like me). While they were making our sandwiches we chatted with the owners a bit and they seem like really nice, down-to-earth people. The told us how some of the menu options got their names and a little history of the business. It's really nice to to be able to chat with the owners. It wasn't long before our food was ready. My wife had, basically, a Rueben minus the sauerkraut (I hate that stuff) and a bag of chips. We both got a bottle of water. Our total was about $38. I've seen a number of reviewers comment on the cost of their meals. We had no complaints at all. They're serving Boar's Head meats, which a higher class/higher quality than most restaurants go near. You're also paying for locally, home made foods. I'm willing to bet that not a single food item came ready-made out of a jug or a box that came from Gordon's food. This is genuine food made with care and pride by the owners themselves. There's a small seating are behind the counter area and a much larger seating area outside, but the weather wasn't suited for such chicanery. We REALLY enjoyed our first visit to Boone's Deli. I think they've got a great product and I hope they stay around a long time.

It's the Little Yellow House that is so quaint. The Owner is Susan Woodward, and she is such a hard worker! Donna, our Server was fantastic! She answered every question, knew everything about every sandwich, every soup and every dessert. She had the fastest assistants that brought us our drinks and kept our glasses filled and delivered our food. Their menu is very well laid out and full of the most amazing lunches. I didn't need to go past the Hot Brown! My husband and I both ordered Hot Browns. This is our very favorite item! It was delicious. There was a lot of tender turkey, covered with the best tasting Mornay Sauce and topped with beautiful tomatoes. I'm sorry there wasn't enough room to get up and take pictures of everyone's food. I did get a picture of our Hot Brown and our friend's Meatloaf and Chili. You'll just need to stop by and have hunch with them. And don't forget to check out their desserts. They have cake slices, pie slices, strawberry rolls and Cheesecake. Since it was 3/14, Pi Day, their Key Lime Pies were very popular. I posted the 4 pages of the menu for you to look over.

They do have parking or I just parked up the street at the community center. Incredibly friendly owners who hire special needs staff. Everything is fantastic, soups, salads, sandwiches and of course the cakes! I got the chicken salad but next time I will get the egg as my friend said its the best you'll ever eat. Open for lunch only and they have daily specials including a meatloaf/green beans on Wed. Walk don't run to support this friendly business!
