    An old croissant.
    Vin T.

    I never really expect much from Panera but we're visiting here from PA and needed a quick breakfast. Long story short. Not enough employees, long lines, some cranky workers and the food(specifically the croissants) tastes OLD. The croissant literally crumbled in my hand. If you saw the Christmas eve Turkey dinner in "Christmas Vacation"... you're up to par. $17.00 for one croissant, one bagel and two regular sized chais was about 7.00 too much. Now I remember why I stopped going to ALL Paneras.

    Panera façade
    Mark H.

    We are on our way home from Lake Winnepesaukee and wanted to get something to drink. Because we are members of the free drink club, we decided to stop at Panera. We were about 30 minutes away and stopped at a rest stop and put our order in and requested pick up for 30 minutes later, which is how long the GPS said it would take to get there. When we arrived our cups were on the counter and ready to go. This is a very unassuming Panera. The façade is somewhat plain, but when you get inside it's very clean and large. If we hadn't eaten a little earlier, we definitely would've ordered food. The staff seemed friendly and was working hard.

    I find this Panera excellent. We like to by large fresh loaves of sourdough bread and make sandwiches at home for a few days. We make a pick up order the night before and pick it up in the morning. When we have tried this at other Panera's most of the time we get there and they do not have our order or any loaves available. Julia and the rest of the friendly staff here just care more about the customers the quality and the environment.

    Inedible Caesar salad
    New England R.

    The picture speaks for itself. Panera is gross. Everything tastes manufactured and plastic-y. My "Caesar" salad was essentially the ends pieces of the head of romaine. Just the thought is making me sick. I'll never eat at this establishment again.

    Overpriced...

    GREAT experience; having tried this place for the 1st time today (a Wednesday, late morning);…read moreExceptionally, friendly and attentive staff. I am in a wheelchair and the staff must have seen us coming as ChrisAnn (unsure of spelling) greeted us and assisted us (husband and I) with the doors (which are not automatic) and, as we entered, stated that she already set us up at the first table, which I found to be above and beyond the typical service of any establishment. The menus were already at the table and a chair removed, to make space for my wheelchair. Both of us ordered the steak tips and eggs, which we both enjoyed, cooked exactly as ordered, and as tasty as one can expect. Husband had his with hash browns (?) [pan-fried potato chunks] & toast; mine with grilled English muffin and a side of baked beans. What I really like was the plating, such that none of the food items ran together, that is, the beans were in a small dish separate from the eggs and English and the steak was on a separate small plate, making it easier to cut (without bumping up against other foods). When our son was a young child, we referred to this as "no-touch-atarian" as he really disliked his foods touching one another. Now, some 30+ years later, I have to agree that some food items are just best as stand-alone items. I would have given a full 5 star rating except that I tend to be slightly more critical with my assessments as they relate to accessibility. The parking lot could use a repainting as the lines and handicapped parking symbols were barely visible. They have a ramp to the entrance but, without automatic doors, it can cause difficulties at the top as there is no level area at the top to allow one to stop and prevent the chair from rolling backwards to allow one to open the door. I have a care giver that gets me in and out, so it is not a huge barrier for me personally but I can see it being difficult for more independent wheelchair users. Access to the restroom is a bit awkward but not impossible And the staff helped with that as well.

    Stopped in for lunch. Had French onion soup that was ok, lukewarm but had lots of cheese. Bacon…read moreCheeseburger was overcooked dry and flavorless. My friend had a steak bomb he said was also flavorless and I don't know how this is even possible the fries were dry and tasteless. Service was ok even though the server had zero personality. Definitely will not go back

    This place is such an amazing spot to have in Lowell. Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

    This place has the best dumplings in the area, their mala stir fry is amazing. A group of friends…read moreand I are almost regulars here. But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.
