Driving thru Moorehead City, NC, on 70 West and spotted a Panera. Awesome! I've been a Panera "Sippy Club" member forever. Let me pull in for a coffee and a scone. Whooah. Sorry I did. Can you day 'dirty'? Like tables not cleaned off. Crumbs, crumbs, crumbs on the floor. Kitchen floor had lettuce and wet, wet, wet behind the counter. Waited at the counter. Waited. Waited.... Finally, a kid emerged from somewhere and took my order. I said "coffee mug for here, please." He asked me if I wanted my mug for "here". Duh? Oh well, got a mug and a scone. You guessed it...coffee was tepid at best. Scone was not yet stale, but not far from it. Sorry I stopped at this Panera. Maybe somebody at Panera Central will read this and get this place up to speed. We'll see. No we won't. Not coming back. read more

I just came back from Panera Bread in Morehead. I got the new cranberry chicken salad sandwich, what a disappointment. It was dry and crust so hard you had to bite and tear. I also tried almond pastry,not good-it must have been 2weeks old,pastry was not bakery fresh, just dried out and so called filling was gard. I have never had such a disappointment in Panera. Don't think I will be going for a long time-unless I hear new managers. read more

I like the food, I feel it's very fresh but you pay for it. Buying the bread and bring home for cold cuts is so good but again $$

Prices are way too high!!! Mac and cheese should never ever be 12.50 anywhere. Your corporation has to be completely nuts for the overpriced food. Do you want to go out of business??? read more

I just went through the drive thru about 5-10 minutes ago and ordered a Strawberry Poppyseed and Chicken Salad as well as a Cheddar and Broccoli Soup, that is not what I received. The salad had NO chicken but I was charged for it, and the soup was NOT cheddar Broccoli. The soup given to me not only smelled spicy but also had potatoes, peppers, and corn. The overall service was nice, however I DID NOT get what I paid for. read more

Well, not sure where to begin. The cashier that takes the orders was not very helpful, nor did she make us feel welcomed. I ordered my usual, 1/2 Napa almond chicken sandwich and 1/2 chicken Fuji apple salad with a small coffee and a cookie. She forgot my dessert. Cost $16.61. The place was a mess. Tables and the floor were dirty. There was only one other couple in the place and yet no one was cleaning the restaurant. If I had been the owner and walked in to see my place like that, heads would have rolled. As for the food, the cooks did a great job but must have not read the receipt because I got a huge salad, (thank you) that was very good. My sandwich was delicious. My friend got the soup and salad and her salad was much smaller than mine which she mentioned to me and was bummed because it really was really good which meant she got less. LOL. Anyway, the food and the cooks get 5 stars, but the other staff and the place not being clean gets 2 stars, which would give them three stars, but it should have been better. read more

Sad that Panera here in Morehead City has deteriorated food wise. Had not been in a few months but today the chicken noodle soup bowl was more like a cup size. Also got the Fuji apple salad full size and it was missing several ingredients like the tomatoes to start with and the chicken was almost nonexistent. For basically 22-23 dollars there are just to many other options to eat than Panera now. Sad since it use to be a favorite. read more

This is supposed to be a cold brew with vanilla cream... This is the 2nd attempt of making it, first attempt was completely white in color and I asked for it to be remade. I order this several time a week, and I have never seen it this light in color - it doesn't even taste like coffee, just milk and sugar. Gross. Girl in the window told me that she doesn't know why the coffee isn't darker... Ummm put less cream in it, or brew actual cold brew ‍ Guess I'll go over to Starbucks for coffee today. read more

I went to Panera today & it was miserable out because of the rain so I decided to get their Pick Two which was Bistro French Onion soup & a 1/2 chicken, chipotle, avocado sandwich. My meal was awesome! read more

The dressing does not even cover the 1/2 size Cesar salad w/Chicken that I ordered. It's not even 1/2 of the small container, it's just enough to cover the bottom. This has happened multiple times. :( read more

In the picture is what I ordered...I showed this screenshot to the cashier. What I got was a cup of soup, not a bowl...and the chicken was on the Ceasar salad and not the Mediterranean salad. The bag was sealed so I didn't check it until I got home. I was charged the correct price so that's a plus. Another plus is the store is very clean and the staff are friendly...just the order was messed up. read more

Good place for lunch . This time I had the half and half with broccoli and cheddar soup and a Cuban . The soup could have been heated up a bit more and the sandwich had a ton of pickles on it . But all in all it was a tasty lunch read more

I was dying to eat at least SOMETHING. So me and my family went inside to Panera Bread, and we ordered. 1st off the lady wasn't paying attention at all and had headphones in when taking our order, and she made us pay more. 2nd I asked for a Deli Turkey sandwich with just lettuce and cheese and turkey, and they gave me the whole Shazam. Make sure your waiter or local cashier is paying attention. 3rd, she gave us less food then we ordered. It's annoying sometimes, but okay I guess!!!! read more

Good, same as all other paneras. This location has a drive through. Workers are also nice.

I ordered a Hazelnut coffee on the unlimited sip club. I received my drink quick and the employee offered sugar and creamer for free. My drink cost me nothing. read more

The workers are nice but the food quality is TERRIBLE. I was pre aware that all of their food is frozen and thrown in a microwave but the last three times I've come here my sandwich was still cold in the middle. Not room temperature like the sandwich cooled off but refrigerator COLD. I always order a half Frontega chicken sandwich and a cup of soup but the last couple of times I've been they've been really bad. I used to love Panera but I wouldn't recommend any of their locations anymore, they're a ripoff. read more

Just bought my daughter a cinnamon bagel toasted and sliced. Opened it up when we got home to it being completely burned. That was her dinner tonight and it is not edible. read more

This Panera Bread location is unorganized and unethical. No restaurant should say they are open until 9:00PM and when someone pulls into the drive through at 8:55 PM, the window person doesn't answer my question of "Are y'all closed?" until 8:58 PM. They replied with "We are closed for the night." That makes no sense at all for a fast food restaurant to say they are closed, before closing time and not serve a customer. I only wanted a small cup of Turkey Chili Soup. They would not serve me. It even states on their drive through speaker box that they are open from 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM which I stated to the window speaker. This is ridiculous. read more

I love most Panera places but this one falls way behind the expectations. Service is quite slow, and every time I visit they get something on my order wrong. Sandwiches here are very poorly made and not worth the price they charge for. The bowls are alright, and some personnel is enthusiastic and fast, but in general the service is not up to the standards of other Panera places. read more

The views expressed are those of the author given this one experience at Panera Bread and do not necessarily reflect her overall views of Panera Bread as a national dining establishment. 10:58 Perusing menu and display case; spot sought after four cheese souffle 11:06 Author: "Hi. I'd like the four cheese souffle." 11:06 Unpleasant Cashier: "We throw those away at 11. We don't have any." 11:06 Author: "They are over there." Pointing to display case with four souffles in it 11:06 Unpleasant Cashier: {Crickets} Angrily walks over to display case and looks around blankly 11:07 Author: Pointing, "Look. Down." Unpleasant Cashier angrily grabs souffle and throws it on tray. Awkward! 11:08 Authors friend: "Can I get the Bagel Bacon, Egg, & Cheese sandwich?" 11:08 Unpleasant Cashier: To another unpleasant manager type cashier, "Do we have bagel sandwiches?" 11:08 Unpleasant Manager Type Cashier, "What time is it?" Unpleasant Cashier: "11:09" 11:09 Unpleasant Cashier: to authors friend, "Nope" Probably the worst example of customer service. I love Panera, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I have been to only one other Panera Bread location and this one just seemed .....not clean. It had a odd smell....and that wasnt the fresh bread cooking in the oven.We sat down with our food and my arms were sticking to the yuckyness on the table.The bathroom........ewwww. And it was way to warm in there! It was a bazillion degrees outside and we needed a cool spot....not a smelly hot spot. But we did eat, and yes the food was good.I still think they are over priced sandwiches but they do taste good. We ended up getting the Turkey with Spinach-Artichoke dressing on Foccica Pannini, and the Chipolte Chicken on French (We split them and are able to try each one) That was the only bright spot about the whole visit. Sorry guys, 'cause of cleanliness you only get two stars in my book. read more

Paneras in Morehead City is always consistently good. We've been going there since it opened. Their soups, salads, sandwiches, bagels, baked goods are always tasty. Souffles for breakfast are our favorites. Coffee flavors, like hazelnut, are a treat. Especially like "pick two", which hits the spot and the Drive in! Can't forget the friendly people who make it all happen. Service and smiles!!! read more

High quality, healthy eating. Love to go and have a sandwich on their fresh made bread and , some home style soup. also have wonderful pastries for dessert. a bit pricey though. read more

There was literal trash stuck to the bread of my sandwich (inside the paper wrapping, which means they saw it and still packaged it up). Went through the drive-through, so not a lot we could do about. Pretty gross. read more

I have been to a number of Panera around the county and this one was no good. The food was ok but by far the worst service I have ever experienced. I thought hipster service was slow but this is even worse. They gave us a number so they could bring us the food and then proceed to yell at us to come get our own food. What a joke read more

Love this place. Very consistent service and value every time we go to Panera. Always know I'll be satisfied, great place for people who care about nutrition and their health. I gave them a 4 because it is still fast food even though I love it. read more

Panera Bread is always GOOD all over the USA !! We always look up the Panera Bread in the area we are visiting. My favorite foods here are the tomato bisque soup and 1/2 Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich combo for only &6.99. It's totally delicious!! read more

Panera Bread - Peach tea is a real treat... The kettle-cooked chips are great too!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

One of our favorite places to eat because of their food. Guest service can be a hit or miss, we avoid their rush times, because the place looks like a war zone, no places to sit and everyone looks a bit frazzled, becomes stressful. Other times, the place is amazing. We love their food. read more

I arrived to pick up an order on Feb. 14, 2109. I had placed the order online 2 days prior, Feb.12, 2109. Upon arriving at the designated time I chose to pickup, I was informed the my order could not be filled. Another customer apparently came in minutes prior to me arriving and bought all the valentine cookies. Seriously? I mentioned that I placed my order 2 days prior but was told they had just received my order. The manager said that there can be a delay in orders placed online. 2 day delay??? Someone failed to do their job and they cannot even fess up to that. Blame it on computer delay. I think not. I was offered something else to replace my order. Not good enough! I wanted what I ordered. That was the purpose of ordering beforehand. read more

Best Panera I have ever been to! Pierce was so kind and attentive. I forgot to ask for my bagel to be toasted--he assured me that it was no problem and gave me another bagel that was toasted. He was incredibly kind. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this "chain" restaurant that has locally owned quality service!! If you are at the Crystal Coast, make sure you stop by Panera and hope you get Pierce!! read more

I work down the street and visit this restaurant weekly. I've never experienced uncleanliness - infact, I wouldn't come back if I had. I grew up in a household with a sanitiarian (health inspector) - so my eye is trained to see "issues". The service is very good and the food is great quality. I recommend it to anyone looking for a consistently good meal - just be sure to look at the nutrition info before ordering - their breads and sweets are tasty but REALLY high in calories/fat. read more

Consistently good. Their salads are always fresh, never see any brown wilted lettuce leaves like I have in many Morehead City eating places. Their prices have increased recently but the food is always fresh and good. read more

So glad a Panera opened at the beach. This area was lacking a good, quick and somewhat healthy breakfast place and this was just the ticket. Great for any meal, and rarely disappoints. We have had some issues with our orders missing items or us getting the wrong order, but luckily we check our bags before we leave. read more

I've never experienced the uncleanliness but their customer service can use some help. too often i've experienced that some of their servers are too preoccupied chatting among themselves and generally not hospitable. especially the cashier Michele. she's generally unhelpful and seems that it's a bother to ask her for anything. but yeah. other than that the food is great and the restaurant itself is good. read more

I've eaten at a number of Paneras in several states, and this one is definitely the most disappointing. Servers were apathetic, my husband got the wrong breakfast sandwhich (twice), the coffee machine was "broken" & it took forever to get our coffees. Pass on this place & go to Starbucks. read more

I have eaten at several Panera Rest. I really like the food, but the Tea is Sour at the one here in Morehead City. I finally gave up on it. I asked the staff there about the tea and was told it was their brand? I explained that it was sour, only to be told it had just been made. So the next question was "Do you wash the Containers". Got a blank stare. Was my last visit, if the tea dispensers aren't clean-what else isn't? read more

It's your standard Panera Bread Decor. I'm only giving it three stars because the food seemed a little bit off. The salads were looking on the skimpier side here and the turkey artichoke panini had no artichoke. Maybe it was just an off day. Will give them another shot in the near future and the free wifi is always nice. read more

Employees are really friendly and always happy to make sure that guests leave happy :)

I do not know if it is just this Panera location or all Panera's, but it has gone downhill. Their prices keep going up and up and the amount and quality of the food keeps going down, down, down! The broccoli and cheese soup and smoothies are the only reason anyone can drag me in here anymore. It is sad because they really do have a great menu. read more

Visited this Panera while visiting the base in Cherry Point. It was busy due to Memorial Day Weekend, but we got nothing but the best help from the associates! Everything was clean and the food was fantastic! Thanks for the awesome customer service! read more
