    Just one table as an example

    Very surprised and disappointed to see the dining area unclean on a Sunday that's not too busy

    Lovely, lovely spot for a quick breakfast. Or lunch. But this morning it's spinach and artichoke soufflé with a chai tea latte! Yummy! Service is great, the guy behind the counter called me by my name and is super polite. I like that. I came in yesterday evening but they were pretty much sold out of everything, so today more than made up for that. At $10 for soufflé and latte, they're a little pricey but well worth it.

    7/27/21: I placed an online order & picked it up curbside. I ordered 2 blueberry muffins (MY FAVE!!) & 2 orange cranberry muffins. I got a text alert telling me my order was ready, so I headed there. I parked in spot 1 & let them know I was outside waiting via the app. Alex (I believe his name was) came out with a small bag that clearly didn't have all my items. He told me that they ran out of the orange cranberry & could give me 2 items to replace them at no extra charge. I chose 1 more blueberry muffin & 1 cinnamon roll. He was very apologetic!!! I appreciated all of his help and I'd definitely go back.

    Flatbread cheese pizza half salad.

    This location is hit or miss for me. Sometimes when I go in person my order isn't always right, and if I go on Grubhub my order gets delivered to the wrong place. But I know that's not Panera's issue but I finally figured it out. I have to use DoorDash anytime I want delivery from Panera to ensure my order is delivered to the correct place. Today I'm so glad it was correct. I was able to get the cheese flatbread pizza with no tomato sauce, because it causes heartburn. With the half salad Apple chicken pecan salad. It was very good everything was fresh made very quickly and delivered on time. If you haven't tried the apple vinaigrette dressing you are missing happiness in your life. I suggest you go out and get it.

    Panera Charged Lemonades
    Christopher M.

    I'd like to begin this review by saying that I am a huge fan of Panera as a whole. The sandwiches, salads, bagels, flatbread pizzas, and Ooh, just the baguette alone - De-lish!! But this particular day, Wednesday December 21st, 2022 around 12:30pm, my partner had ordered two large Charged Lemonades from his Panera App and asked me to pick them up. For those unfamiliar with App Orders, you walk into the store and near the registers, there is a bookcase-style shelving unit, where your order sits waiting for you to claim. There were the two drinks, and as soon as I grabbed the bottom of the drink holder to slide it from the shelf, they both came forward and spilled all over the floor and me. I stood there for a moment, looking stupid, waiting for someone to immediately come to my assistance. I overheard one of the men working there saying to someone else behind the counter that he was going to get the mop bucket. Still noone came to my assistance or offered to replace the drinks that had spilled. What bothered me the most was, as I stood there, a woman who was obviously the manager, walks from behind where the prep area is to out front by the girl at the register and said "Is anyone gonna clean that up?" The girl replied, "Such-and-such is goin to get the mop bucket". The manager never approached me, never apologized for that happening to me, and never offered any help to me personally, as a guest at her store. A crew follows what training and leadership that is given to them. Bad habits begin from the top down. I shared my experience with my partner later, who admitted that the same thing happened to him the first time he got drinks in the carry tray, and as a regular there, a crew member there shared with him, 'Yeah, it (drink spills) happens all the time." Maybe change the cup design or get a carrier with sides and a handle like those used at Chick-fil-A? And how about some better customer service? This was a very bad guest experience which coulda been turned around had the management handled the situation in a proactive manner. Totally disappointed!

    Margherita flatbread

    My fiancé and I have been craving Panera bread for last couple weeks. PiWent there and got 2 pick 2s and a margarita flatbread. The food was done half correct. Salads were tasty. Sandwiches were missing or lacking some food items that were suppose to be on the sandwich. The flatbread was over cooked and missing basil. How do you miss the basil.? I had to return the next day to let the manager know what happened so he could possibly fix it. Chris the manager helped me out and asked me if they could fix the food. He pulled up my ticket and receipt from the day before and fixed what was wrong. The chicken avocado melt is killer, and the cherry tomatoes mixed with the basil and crispy flatbread is amazing. Chris really helped us out and turned it around.

    Me and my office order from this location regularly- usually 12+ orders. Food is always delicious and bagged nicely for transport back to the office. Their ingredients always taste fresh too- my avocado in my Baja Bowl was perfectly ripe.

    Melted cheese on the bottom...tsk tsk tsk

    Oh Panera. I always try to give these folks the benefit of the doubt because broccoli and cheddar soup lol but alas they always find a way to disappoint. This was supposed to be a bacon egg and cheese with extra cheese minus the bun. They somehow ruined this poor bacon's life and thought melting the cheese to the BOTTOM of the container was an excellent idea. I swear I'd never eat here again if they get rid of that darn soup smh. Do better Panera.

I ordered the meatball grinder with provolone, and it might be the best grinder I've had since moving to Virginia--hands down. The bread was absolutely top tier--toasted perfectly with the ideal mix of crunch and softness. The meatballs were flavorful, the provolone was melted just right, and everything held together beautifully. The only note I'd give is the sauce--it was a little heavy for my taste. Next time, I'll ask for light sauce, and I know it'll be perfect. My coworkers all ordered salads, and WOW--they're massive. Fresh, crisp, and definitely worth trying on my next visit. Presentation was on point, and everyone was raving about theirs. Overall, this place is definitely going on my repeat list. Quick service, generous portions, and flavors that hit. Greater Grinders = Greater Lunch. Sidenote, have lots of lots of napkins meatball grinder gets very messy because of the sauce Sorry I didn't get a lot of pictures. I just ordered takeout and my coworker picked it up.

I came here after reading many…read morepositive reviews and then checking out their menu and I knew they were a fun and interesting place for lunch. I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

Locally and Black-owned in Norfolk, this lunch counter style gem is nothing short of classics you don't see that much anymore.

Either way, your food will be cooked to order right when you order so that it will be fresh! The main star, hotdogs, is on the menu, but you can also get burgers. Crinkle fries come with the meal or chips. Now, these hotdogs come in all ways, so review the menu carefully of the options. The ingredients are made fresh all day to ensure you get your food that way. Did I mention they serve breakfast? Yes, they have a breakfast menu as well. Seating at the counter is a treat because there is TV to watch, and you can see the Chef prepare your food. The price is excellent, too; two hotdogs, fires, and a drink were about twelve dollars. This place is GREAT for lunch and breakfast; I will be back. Happy Yelping.

    My brother and I were in town for an event and decided to find something to eat after dropping off…read morepeople at the airport. We knew we needed something quick, but good. So we pulled up yelp and found fat Phillies. This is what I would call a classic Bodega/hood joint (They have all the flavors of Rap Snacks) that does a great job of serving up a good variety of sandwiches and sides at an affordable price. Now this establishment is housed inside of a convenient store in a strip mall that also has a Chinese food place and a couple of other establishments. This is a typical convenient store with groceries drinks and a couple of casino machines at the other end of the building. We pulled up to the counter as they were shutting down, so unfortunately, the wings weren't available. So we decided to go with the standard Philly cheesesteak, and fries. Sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes and they were cooked to order. Both of us were very satisfied with the sandwiches. Mine did have a little bit of grissel and tougher meat, but not necessarily something I didn't expect given the price. Overall, this is definitely a place I would likely stop through every now and then just to grab some sandwiches and other items that I can't find in a Whole Foods.
