Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Menifee, California

Waited for 10 minutes for a cashier to help take our order, nobody came forward and said sorry will be here in a minute. We just stood there at an empty register with about four other customers so we left. read more

I should probably give a higher rating as the food is very good. But I have a problem with their "plant-based" menu. Panera is opening themselves up to a lawsuit. They use animal based cheeses instead of plant based cheeses. There are people with medical issues who need to have a plant based diet. In my case I could be hospitalized if I dont have this type of diet. So please, Panera..... either removed the title "plant-based" from your menu, or USE PLANT BASED PRODUCTS. I really don't want you to be sued! read more

Honestly , we eat here every week and multiple times they have gotten my order wrong . Today I made sure to check before I left and the soup was spilled over and I was missing a whole meal . I did the line again and the manager was snappy .. I'm not going to fight or cause a scene because it's not who I am but this was un called for when I made sure to repeat my order multiple times so now I'm waiting in the parking lot for ever waiting for them to fix my meal .... feeling extremely frustrated read more

I have always been a fan of Panera Bread food. But lately I haven't been able to get my order correctly at the Menifee location. Tonight I ordered a Greek salad with added chicken and didn't have dressing. I ordered through the drive trough as I was in a rush, and didn't realize the salad didn't have the dressing until too late. This is the 4th time I have had issues like this when ordering through the drive through. It has been 2 times that I've been given salads without dressing and twice without the chicken although I have paid for the added chicken. From now on i would only order inside the store and not through the drive through. It really is frustrating to deal with this. read more

This was my husband and i first time eating here together..we had questions but the cashier was just trying hurry up and wasn't very pleasantly helpful ..food was great absolutely delicious..a bit pricey but overall good ..cashier just needed a lil understanding with new people and have patients to answer accordingly.. read more

I'm writing another review because it has been MORE THAN 3 times that my order has been incorrect. I don't care if it's just a pastry that is missing, I'm paying for it! The receipt that shows everything checked off is a joke. DID YOU REALLY MAKE SURE ALL ITEMS WERE INSIDE?? Because I'm missing items that are checked off. read more

Came through the drive thru around 1pm yesterday, there was like 5 cars in line and it went by so quick! Didn't catch the young ladies name that took my order but she was so nice! My food came out perfectly and this is the first Panera I've been to that gave me soft bread. Definitely will be back. read more

Second time, same problem, jerk of a manager Vanessa. No more giving this poorly run sorry excuse of a Panera establishment my business. Spent $50 on a large to go order last week, come home to a sorry excuse of a side salad dressings in their to go containers. Literally, about 1/4 filled. Not even close to half. Just enough for a drizzle. Call in manager 'took my name down' to comp my next meal. Husband goes in today to give my name for my 'free meal' and nope they wouldn't do it. Talked to jerk Vanessa who is super unprofessional, and decides to make up 'a new policy' in affect 'currently' (couldn't even give me a date). I asked is this a new policy within a week? She says yes (LOL). Spoke to Harry, says this policy has been around a year? Funny part...open up my new order my husband just paid for...same problem. No damn dressing for these salads. Ridiculous! (See picture). Done. Charlene is GM and will be in Monday. Let's see how that goes... read more

There soup bowls are good but that's about it. They are very rude! Way over priced! And god help you if you dare ask if they have ranch there!!! Every time I go I always tell my self "gosh they are so rude" Last time I was there they dropped my atm card on the ground outside the drive through then just looked at me ........ nothing else just looked at me . Extremely rude customer service!!! I will not be back! read more

I love this place, my boyfriend works there on the side and the company treats their employees very well. Amazing pastas and breads. Super busy on the weekends but it's worth it. They always get food out fast. A++ on service and quality!! read more

I chose the Pick Two. I had the Turkey Bravo Sandwich with a Fuji Apple Salad and an apple. My sandwich had the right amount of everything and there's nothing a sweet crust on the bread to top it off. My salad looked a bit tossed, but taste on point. To finish off my meal my red apple was crisp and juicy, yummo. Even with a long line for the drive thru the service was quick and efficient... Until I realized I drove off without receiving a fork to eat my salad. Womp womp. Great choice for today's lunch. read more

Update. I called the store to speak to the general manager and was told they were too busy to talk to me, they took my number down and never returned my call. So I emailed the company. I was hoping for a refund seeing as my brother was unable to eat his meal, but instead they gave me a reward ( $2 off) on my Panera card that has a time limit which is bull. And not once did they apologize. read more

Service is way down since reopening. I know, covid and every employee has additional cleaning duties, but the amount of chatter from the kitchen suggests someone who is being paid to be there might find time to serve food in the traditional way that other restaurants manage and which this location used to do. The more so since none of the ubiquitous signs make any mention of a change in serving procedures, nor was it mentioned by the pleasant and polite person at the register. At least someone did find time to tell us "your food's ready." Can a fully self-serve experience be far behind where customers have to prepare their food as well? read more

Disappointed with service this morning. Poor explanation on free coffee subscription. Its only free for now but im canceling it already aa youre getting only black cofee & u have to pay if u want flavors. I was not happy with the service & explanation at all which leads me to have a black coffee with 1 squirt of caramel that ive to pay. This happens today arnd 1130 in the morning. Those people that are serving in panera knows how to agitate their customers. Please give them a class on customer service if u wanted to stay in business. Thanks. @panera in haun rd menifee. read more

First off, I ordered a half a turkey sandwich with no tomato or onion. Well they put both items and I asked not to put on. The macaroni cheese is way over priced for the amount and taste. My wife had an almond chicken and the bread was hard and stale. Will never return. This place needs to revamp or close. read more

I love Panera bread! Service: Good even compared to Panera bread it has high expectations. Parking: Good. Food: Always really delicious and healthy too! I get salads, soups, and cheese bagels here reguarly. read more

Ordered delivery through their app and was shorted food. Wasn't a big deal.for me. I understand mistakes happen but when I called and spoke to the manager they refused to bring me the rest of the food because they said they were too busy. Terrible service. Very disappointed. When you pay for delivery and they make a mistake you'd really think they would step up to make things right. Disappointed read more

This is a horrible example of a Panera store. Not clean, staff has attitudes, and food is questionable. Went there on a Saturday morning for some bagels to go, and was told they don't have any bagels. 8:30 Saturday & no bagels??? I was told it would be an hour or two because 1 person bought all the bagels. That's a huge management problem. That's all it takes for me to never go there ever again. read more

Not the same. Customer service is bad. Place is dirty. They're all bout the business and not the customer. Management needs to improve. read more

Panera Bread - Burnt grilled cheese for my toddler. Smh they could've least asked me or said something before giving this out - Sandwiches Near Me - Menifee, California

No wonder in-n-out is killing it next door while you hear crickets at Panera, every time I come here they never have anything in stock so I am constantly choosing a different meal 5 times and having to get it corrected when I come to pay. Update: I had a hair in my food. Down to 1 start you go read more

A friend and I each ordered the Pick 2, she had a panini with a Caeser salad, I had the steak and arugala sandwich with French onion soup. I had never eaten these before, but i would definitely order again. Everything was perfectly cooked, filling too, for a lunch. Service was outstanding, they have these gadgets like those vibrating things restaurants give you to let you know your table is available. It never vibrated, it synched with a metal disk on the table, the server brought our food to us, so we didn't have to get up again. The place was busy, but every seat seemed a quiet island, and there were comfy chairs where I waited for my friend. This is the Menifee store, not my neighborhood, but I will go again. read more

My faves: Steel cut oats with strawberries, pecans, and cinnamon and the pumpkin muffy. Their variety of dispensed fruit teas is

DEAD FLY in my salad. BEWARE What your eating in your food !!!! Yuck. Terrible. So I was eating my salad and shared some with my daughter and saw something dark at the bottom of the bowl. So I poked at it thinking it was a topping or an old shriveled lettuce. I picked it up and the green was shiny and I realized it was a dead fly with NO WINGS!!! Where were the wings? BLA!!!! SO disgusted even typing about this because of the memory that I was poking around at this fly while I was eating my salad. So I called over a manager and she said she was a shift manager. She looked at the fly and apologized. She gave me 1/2 the money from the pick 2 combo I received and asked if I wanted a pastry. At this point I'm feeling sick to my stomach do not want to eat anything else. Really? You're going to offer me a pastry since I was eating fly with my salad? So I talked to another manager to make an incident report in case I was going to get sick with my daughter. She said Corporate office would call me. Been 2 wks. No phone call or followup. Thank God I actually looked at what dark thing was in my salad.... This is definitely One the worst Panera Bread. I only came here because its close to where we live. I have given this place so many chances from bad attitudes do rotten vegetables.... I Wont be returning. No one cares and Panera is not the cheapest place to eat... You think there would be better care given. read more

They got the slowest staff and worst customer service i ever experienced at a panera. For some reason every time i get something from here there is ALWAYS something wrong with my order. I do not recommend to anyone and if you do go here just make sure to check your order because there is most likely something missing! read more

I love the bread bowl with clam chowder when they have it. The Drive thru is very convenient for me since I can't always stop and spend much time for take out. I have never eaten inside of this Panera. THe employees have always been good to me and not messed up any orders. read more

I mostly come here for the bagels and paninis. I'm not so big on the soups. I feel like the soup is pretty average. Honestly, I love coming here with my daughters just to spend some quality time with them. It's definitely a nice place for lunch. The service isn't bad, but it isn't that great either. There are some people who have that optimistic vibe to them and you can just tell they are glad to serve you. There are other workers there who aren't as friendly. Those people just make me not want to order or even eat there... read more

During this COVID-19 crisis the Menifee Panera bread has done a great job. The food is always good. Thank you.

I love the food at Panera! However, their prices have gotten outrageous. We paid over $30 for a meal for 2 people, which is high even for a fast-casual restaurant. However, the service was exceptional and their staff should really be applauded for being so friendly and welcoming. Another plus for this location is the drive thru, although it is difficult to read the menu due to the small print. read more

the food is good/normal. service is not! drive thru is the worst they always forget something small, like spoons,knife,butter,chips,etc super annoying so i have learned to check my whole order before i leave and their pirces are different at store vs. online ordering, so i have to talk to someone about that soon too. read more

I Have always been a huge Panera Bread fan. I have been to this location multiple times, but only to the Drive Thru. Today i decided to go inside and do homework while I ate. As i finished my meal I went to put my dishes away, Sean came up and took my dishes. I went sit back down and start my work and an older man in front of me spilled his drink,again Sean showed up right away to clean up the spill. This man is a great example of what customer service should be. Thank you for having such great staff Panera in Menifee. read more

I enjoy panera bread -- and should stop buying at this one -- but I keep trying to give it one more chance -- but they continue to disappoint me. Order is almost NEVER correct or packed very poorly. I almost always order the Chicken Rice soup and the bag is always wet when I get home from the lid not being on right. Or I order tomato soup and grilled cheese -- and its rubber when I get home (15 minutes away.) And almost always -- I will admit once they went above and beyond AFTER a mis-order -- the drive through help is abrupt and not friendly. I'll head back to the one by work, in Murrieta -- maybe. I have written in several times to their "contact me" area but never hear anything back. read more

Overpriced and rude staff. Paid almost $20 for two bagels (doesn't come with creme cheese and they only have two flavors), a half of a soup and a half of a grilled cheese. As if I wasn't feeling foolish for going here and not In n Out right next door, the lady added insult to injury by treating me as if I were an idiot and rushing my order. Sorry, but when you go to McDonald's they have the same things on their menu as the last 50 years so when I go to Panera I need a minute to decide. read more

Very nice and friendly customer service. The drive through cashier was very nice and greeted with a smile she was very professional and Made me feel like a valued customer. Thank you Panera read more

Came here with my boyfriend today because he recieved a gift card. I love Panera but its not usually my first choice since my doctor cut gluten from my diet recently. I was a little worried that I might be stuck with a salad but decided to go with the lettuce wrapped Avocado Chipotle Chicken "panini" the lady who was putting the orders together at the counter check in with me to see if i was okay with the cold sandwich (aka salad! Haha) but said they could warm up the ingredients for me then lettuce wrap it. Long story short it was DELICIOUS and i greatly appreciated them taking the extra step to warm then lettuce wrap my sandwich even though i hated being a pain coming to Panera needing a gluten free sandwich... THANK YOU! read more

Panera Bread - My Gluten Free Panera was surprisingly amazing! - Sandwiches Near Me - Menifee, California

EVERY SINGLE TIME I COME HERE THEY MESS UP THE ORDER. I always find myself running back inside or going through drive through " hi me again". So annoying so inefficient. Only reason I keep coming is because it's the only Panera bread in menifee annnnddd you can redeem your free pastries but even then, they'd fq that up too. read more

**Warning to all** Make sure to check, double check and triple check your order when going through the drive thru! Every single time we have ordered through the drive through our orders have been wrong! Missing items, wrong orders, incomplete orders... it is very frustrating! Mobile ordering seems to be a problem as well. They only seem to get it right when we dine in. The manager is gracious and all but there is a clear problem at this location with the staff who seem to spend more time entertaining each other than completing accurate orders for customers. read more

Went through the drive thru and got a green goddess Cobb salad, came home and realized there's no damn chicken on my salad lmao. Pretty irritating considering the fact I paid $8 for lettuce, bacon, and an egg lol read more

Regarding server Alice, working on Thursday April 5th at around 1pm- My mom and I had lunch and were in a position to observe her work for over an hour. Alice was remarkable !!! VERY hard working!! Obviously rushed and very busy (every table was in the place was full) Alice maintained a friendly attitude towards everyone, customers AND her co-workers. She continued to work with a smile, graciously thanking customers and coworkers for their slightest assistance. Alice was endearing to each customer that she delivered food to. Alice was quick to clean up the entire patio area, in fact working faster and harder than others employees younger than she ! Had I known I'd receive and witness, such great service, I would have left a much bigger tip for Alice at the cash register when I paid!! Give her a raise or a bonus!! read more

My teenage daughter and her friends went to the new Panera in Menifee yesterday. One of her friends was overcharged on his ATM card by $5, and although Panera admitted the mistake, the Manager said there was nothing he could do because the transaction had already gone through. Did he offer to get $5 out of the cash register to remedy the problem? NO. He looked at them saw they were teenagers and did NOTHING. Guess what Panera Manager, I AM NOT a teenager, I am an adult, with money to spend on going out to eat. My promise to YOU is that not one dime will be spent at your Panera. EVER. My friends now know of your poor lack of judgment as well. Perhaps you will think twice next time 'just a kid' walks in your door that you should treat ANY customer, no matter what their age, with the respect they deserve. read more
