    Tomato soup
    Alejandra D.

    We've went to panera probably 3 times in the last week since we moved and love it. Panera Bread back home was always my favorite stop for studying and hanging out with friends (it was also my first job lol). Me and my husband love to come in and talk or plan things out at panera. The atmosphere is always great and quiet, so is the service. The food comes out quick and it is always clean inside (the 3 or so times we've been to the one in Madison).

    Stoped her today for my morning coffee! As always the coffee was great! The staff working were having a good time talking to each other so it took a while for them to give me my cup even though there was no one else there waiting but I didn't mind the long wait. The staff that did help me were super friendly as always and the coffee was great!

    I love this Panera! Great dining room and seat selection with cozy spots to eat and get some work done. I got the Broccoli Cheddar Soup and it was absolutely delicious. Tasted very fresh! The staff is very friendly and was quick to help in any way I needed. I'll be back to this location and would recommend it.

    Bad financial and service experience at Panera. I was in a bit of a hurry and the line was long so I jumped over to the self order kiosk. I ordered what I wanted and didn't pay a lot of attention. As I enjoyed my food--and it was really good (the only reason I gave them two stars), I scanned the marketing material in the dining area. My chicken noodle soup was really good, but did you know...my order should have cost $6.99 plus $3 water plus $2 Pecan Braid?! I looked at my receipt and found that I need to pay more attention. I paid $20 and tipped them a dollar for nothing!! I asked for a manager and was told they were "really busy right now." Not having time to escalate, and feeling my blood pressure rise, I pushed off to my barrage of meetings. Thievery sits wrong with me, though. Customer service--0 stars. Price--zero stars. Food--5 stars. Average is rounded up to 2 stars. Watch your wallets when you dine here!

    Pick two

    Not good like it used to be . Panera use to be a go to for soups and salads but not since they sold to the company that owns Krispy Kreme it's not longer good . They cut their pastries to almost nothing and the quality was cut as well . I would say go somewhere else for soup and salad .

    Mediterranean bowl and half Cubano. The Panera bread was good too
    David V.

    Not bad. Pretty fresh and staff is friendly. Just order your stuff and they give you a sensor when your orders ready and you pick it up. It's not cheap however, but the quality is actually good. I liked it. First timer here, I like how they have healthier options for eats compared to other places in the area. After your order they always ask if I wanted to purchase a pastry or cookie for $0.99. Slick. I got the Mediterranean Bowl with Chicken. The bowl Came with rice, tzatziki, tomatoes, and chicken. It was a nice combination together. I'd get it again. I also got a half sandwich of the Cubano. That was good and the bread was fresh and crispy, and the meat was flavorful and moist. I dipped some bread in the creamed broccoli soup as well. That was good. All in all, I'd come back again.

    Supposed to be a grilled cheese
    Heidi K.

    Ordered tomato soup (which was great) and what was supposed to be a grilled cheese. I got a melted cheese on doughy bread samdwi

    Freshly opened bowl of pasta. Not close to being full.

    Portion sizes are way too small for the amount of money you pay. Cashier tried to charge me $55 for 2 cups of coffee, large Mac and cheese and a smoothie. Smoothies are now only 12 oz for over $5 The bowl of mac and cheese was only 2/3 full.

    This was the "lettuce" in my Cobb salad tonight. I never write reviews but this was gross

    I placed the order to be delivered by Uber eats. I was actually surprised that the food was tasty…read more We ordered the veggie spring rolls, crab rangoon, drunken noodles (veg), and Thai fried rice. The only thing I didn't like was the Thai fried rice. Well it was average. It was missing something, The crab rangoon was probably some of the best I ever had. My mother loved her drunken noodles so that was a plus.

    I decided I'd give this restaurant a try a few weeks ago after seeing all the positive reviews…read more As others have mentioned, this restaurant is attached to a Best Western hotel. To be honest, I usually have very low expectations of "hotel restaurants," but I will say Banana Leaves exceeded those. If I were staying at a hotel and this was my option for dining, I wouldn't be mad. However, I also don't think this would be my first choice for an Asian-influenced dining experience. They have dishes from a lot of different Asian countries on the menu, though I'd say it leans most heavily Thai or Malaysian, with room for Japanese sushi. The menu isn't overwhelmingly large but it is quite varied. It was fairly quiet when I visited in the middle of the day on March 4. A few other diners trickled in while I ate. Service was suuuuper sweet. Kind, respectful, and diligent. I did go a little while between finishing my meal and getting a check, but I think she was trying to be respectful of me finishing up my food. I wasn't finishing it because I didn't really care for it, but that wasn't my waitress' fault. She even brought out a few small pieces of fruit for dessert as well as a box for my meal. Very thoughtful. I decided to order one of their lunch specials as that was the most cost effective option. I selected the Thai Basil Chicken. It comes with white rice, a salad, a spring roll, and a cup of soup. I also got a Thai iced tea to drink because I can never resist those. The Thai tea was very pretty. It was not particularly sweet and had a fairly strong almost vanilla-like flavor. I do prefer mine on the sweeter side personally, but it wasn't bad. I was warned that the Thai Basil chicken would be spicy but I really didn't find it spicy at all except when I ate an actual piece of chili. Then, it was pleasantly warming but nothing crazy. The vegetables still had a nice snap but for me I thought the chicken was rubbery and I really didn't like the texture of it. I mostly ate veggies and rolled my nicely cooked white rice around in the sauce. Disappointed in the chicken. The spring roll was fine -- exactly as you'd expect. I didn't realize there was a small divot in the dish that held the sweet and sour dipping sauce until it was basically too late. Oh well. The salad was plain but I enjoyed the typical Japanese style gingery dressing. I was somewhat pleasantly surprised to see the soup was a wonton soup. That was nice and I enjoyed trying it though I ultimately found the wontons to be rather bland. Idk, 3 stars sounds a little harsh but 4 is too generous. I think that the idea is really there but just a few too things missed the mark for me on the execution level. If I were to return, I'd like to try some of their Malaysian dishes, as there aren't a ton of places around Huntsville that serves that cuisine. I appreciate the kind and polite service and calm atmosphere.

    I was here for lunch and it has become my favorite Thai place in the HSV area. There are a few…read morereasons for that, which I will highlight for everyone. First, I judge Thai places on their ability to make a good Pad Thai... call it unfair, but that's what I do. Their version is seasoned (I got it spicy, they delivered without burning my whole body out; but I did have a decent sweat on me) and not oily at all. It's the perfect blend of taste without creating an oil slick in your mouth. Lunch came with soup, a small side salad, and Thai spring rolls for under $14. That's value to me, for the price of what fast food places nearly cost and getting a legit full meal that is worlds better than some greasy fast food is another sign to me that there is something special here. The staff was friendly, prompt, and courteous. It may look like a hole in the wall or not overly fancy... because it is not. It is clean, well kept, and has decor that matches the theme. It's not trying to be something that it isn't. The focus is on the food and ensuring people enjoy the food and experience if you are dining in. I will be back. I will get the Pad Thai again. I hope it's just as good or even better than the first time. This is definitely not a one and done kind of place for how good the food is and the prices.

I ordered their large hame sandwich (the Overstuffed Sandwich), a stuffed ham sandwich and the loaded ham potato. Food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. I tried a Honeybaked Ham sandwich a few days later and the Apple Lane better was better by a mile. The overstuffed sandwich was incredibly thick and meaty. While its a little pricey for the sandwich combo (closer to food trucks prices), I was full when I got done and it tasted excellent. My buddy who recommended the place was a big fan of the loaded potato and it seems like a much cheaper meal if you're on a budget. With regard to purchasing a ham for the holidays, the price for their ham was $1-6 cheaper per pound than the Honeybaked Ham Company. Ham tasted comparable.

Kind of a hole in the wall place - seating is limited, one comfy four top and then a lot of stuff mostly designed for 1-2 people. The booths can hold 4 people, but it will be a tight 4.

Water and unsweet tea were self serve and free, they had canned Coke products (no Coke Zero) -- all the dishes were served in togo/disposable containers. Employees were extremely friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes to sample everything; shrimp katsu plate, chicken gyoza, chicken katsu, beef curry rice and tonkotsu Ramen. Prices are reasonable for Huntville - Curry or Ramen dishes are $15, Katsu plates $12, and Kids (Keiki) are $8. Portions were good and food came out quickly. Wife is half Asian and said all the food was food for the most part. She enjoyed her Ramen and my Curry. I was not a fan of the gyoza (might have been it being chicken and not pork) and felt the sear was light. Vegetables in my curry were huge, but that's a nitpick.
