    Chipotle Chicken, Scrambled Egg & Avocado on Ciabatta

    Awful, I ordered a sandwich with Chipotle Chicken, Scrambled Egg & Avocado and the avocado was BROWN, it tasted awful be careful if you'll order something with avocado

    Catered lunch for our work event.  A different turkey and bacon sandwich on tomato basil bread

    My work has used this Panera location twice in the past three months for live events we host at our former office. (I've worked from home since Covid). I like to support local and would never pick Panera on my own. The turkey sandwich I had yesterday and the roast beef (they call it a steak sandwich) I had last time are both very underwhelmed and flavorless. You have to cover it in mayo and mustard and salt and pepper to get any kind of taste. At least they do supply those things in the catering box! The order we picked up yesterday, one of the bags had spilled coffee all the way down the inside causing a whole row of boxes to be stuck together. Not impressive when you're trying to feed your visiting software partners. I've been spoiled with making myself and having local businesses making me so much better sandwiches that this is not the sandwich shop for me.

    Thought we could get some nice breakfast delivered this morning, and since I hadn't had Panera in decades I decided to give them a try. What a disappointment! I ordered the 4 breakfast sandwich combo with a bacon, fresh egg, and cheese on brioche sandwich. The bacon was so thin you could read a newspaper through it, and the yolk was absent from the egg as well as the wrapper - it was nowhere to be found. The second sandwich was supposed to be a scrambled egg, sausage, and cheese but was another disappointing bacon version. The two ciabatta sandwiches, 1 scrambled egg and cheese, 1 bacon, scrambled egg, and cheese, were absolutely flavorless. Had I not been able to smell and taste my homebrewed coffee, I would have had to take a COVID-19 test because these items have zero taste. Overpriced, underseasoned as in totally lacking in any kind of flavor whatsoever, from the bread to the egg to the cheese, and even the paper-thin so-called bacon had no hint of salt, smoke, or any defining character at all. Where does one even get components of such a bland nature? The bear claw was fine, with flaky pastry and slivered almonds, but was the same you could purchase anywhere that sells such. I suspect strongly it is trucked in, not made fresh in-house. It kept breakfast from being a total loss, but didn't make up for the fact that I paid too much to not receive the items I ordered, and to find the items received so incredibly underwhelming. I will not be ordering again.

    Placed an order through the App last night for pick-up this morning @ 7:10am. It wasn't much, 3ea bear claws & chocolate croissants (one of my coworkers has never had the latter!) a bagel and 2 caffe latte. Simple right? So I arrive about 10 min before opening and occupy myself by reading through some previous Yelp reviews. Frankly I was surprised at the low ratings and complaints...but I'll get to that. As always, I start every review with a 5-star rating and deductions come as they are achieved. I walked in to a pristinely clear store, and was greeted by Prea, a most pleasant and welcoming host. Since I was a few minutes early I decided to check out the tables and restroom that were frequently commented on in prior reviews. Bathroom was spotless and well stocked but the tables were sticky. My assessment is that the varnish on the table was softened and degraded by the cleanser they use, because I was the first person in that building other than staff. "Bing", my App says "Order Ready". FYI - Apps LIE. I approached the counter again, and Prea said she would check in the back. Upon her return she apologized and asked me what I ordered. I gave a brief description and she returned to the back to check again. (Ok, gotta pull a star.) Again, she returns empty handed, asks for the phone # associated with the order. Still couldn't find it so I drew it up on my phone. That did the trick, but it was way past 7:10. Prea scrambled to carefully prepare the pastries as someone in the back hustled with the Latte. I fully appreciate the efforts but those labor intensive Lattes must have really been a challenge for the 5 other employees (including Manager) because I wasn't able to get out with my completed order until 7:27. Needless to say, someone dropped the ball. Me, I dropped another star. Food was excellent as always, but presentation is half of that, and here was their rating downfall. Hats off to Prea though, she kept plugging away, picking up the slack and doing it with a smile.

    The empty bar

    They were out of product, bread. The store was filthy! Drinks are expired and contaminated. Lobby smelled like trash. Trash outside was over flowing. Manager, Cam, on duty had an attitude and wouldn't speak to anyone. Treated his employees terribly. Bakery case was empty. Bagel wall was empty. Only positive thing there was the Cashier. She was nice.

    I'm seriously addicted to their vanilla cinnamon rolls. This was my first time to this location. Quality same as other locations. I was early ..6:30 am. I went thru drive thru. They seriously need lights. It was so dark in the back of their store I was freaking out someone would get in car with me.

    Just stay away. Usually I'm a fan of Panera for quick lunches but this one is terrible. Ive had a few lackluster experiences here because its close to my work, but this one finally pushed me over the edge to give a one star review. Here are the bullet points. Bad cashier/ordering experience. There was one party ahead of me in line but between their pickup orders not being ready and the cashier letting several people behind me jump to the front for pickup, it took over 10 min for me to get a chance to order. I ordered a margarita flatbread and the basil was old and black. When there are only 3 ingredients on a dish its pretty noticeable when the basil is black. I tried several tables and they were ALL sticky or dirty. Another customer noticed me looking for a place to sit and said "yea, they are all sticky". This was before the lunch rush so no excuse there. The bathroom reminded me of a dive bar on a friday night. Sink broken with little more than a drip for water pressure, urine all over the floor. Just gross. There are so many options is this area, I'm done giving this dump chances.

    Great place for lunch when looking for salads, soups, sandwiches and more. This location is located right off Ashley Phosphate, and has an outdoor seating area. I personally like the salads, like the Fuji apple chicken salad. They also have seasonal salads that are pretty delicious, like the Ancient Grain Arugala chicken salad. Soups are tasty too...love the butternut squash soup, chicken & rice soup and even tomato soup. Then they have a large pastry case with too many goodies. This location is new, a little smaller in size than other locations. Service is good, with typical greets at the register. Nothing more though. Join their Panera Club and you'll earn points.

    This panera location is kinda odd. It's not the easiest to get in and out of based on location and the staff is a little meh. It's a pretty good size and a good spot for a meeting with wifi and coffee or lunch. The mac and cheese still crushes so they got that going for them.

    This is the menu- full.

It was so good I had to go back! The Brunch bowl is what I order both times ( I wish I tried something else) and the "grit balls" were delicious. Service was fast and prompt even with a full house. And the woman at the counter (she was in the kitchen and ran food, greeted guests as they pick up their food, possibly a chef) was EXTREMELY nice and outgoing. She seemed to really enjoy her position and kept order in the kitchen. Food was delicious if I haven't already said so, so much flavor, a Carolina quality kinda spot!

The parking lot was packed, and most tables were already taken when we walked in, which is always a good sign. You order at the counter and then grab a seat while they bring the food out to you. The menu is extensive, with plenty of dishes built around grits (as the name suggests). I went with the chicken and waffles, and it was loaded with flavor--crispy fried chicken breasts, a Belgian waffle, chunks of bacon, and a blueberry compote on the side. The whole plate was enormous; I definitely didn't finish it. My husband ordered the fried chicken and fish platter with French fries, and it was equally generous in size. We also started with the grit fritters as an appetizer, and they were fantastic--crispy on the outside and a nice surprise inside. Overall, the food was really on point with big, satisfying portions. The waitstaff seemed super busy but stayed friendly and attentive. The only downside for me was having to bus your own table at the end. Prices for lunch felt a little high at first glance, but when you consider the huge portions, they're pretty reasonable. We'll definitely be heading back soon.

The salads are great, the pizzas are great, and my favorite pork trifecta still hits the spot every time. With that being said, I have noticed some changes over the years. The meats on the pork trifecta have all changed and in my opinion, to a slightly lower quality. Obviously, prices and suppliers change over time at a business, but I do miss the old way they used to make it. I also have been getting a different cook on it each time. Sometimes it's got a heavy char all around and sometimes it's too light and no crunch. As I started with, I love EVO and will continue to go, but I hope they can get some consistency back to how they do their pies. It's not cheap and for that reason I expect a superior product.

It does get crowded and loud, especially during busy hours, but overall it's a solid spot in Park Circle and a good place to gather with friends.

We made a reservation, but ordered at the counter. We ordered a handful of dishes to share. The girl was very helpful and giving us a separate gluten-free menu that allowed us to order for my husband. This place is a Latin/Asian infusion so we were very excited to see how the flavors played out since it is two of our favorite types of food. The best thing I had was the special, stir fried udon noodles with the steak. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chili spice on it was amazing and it wasn't overly sauced. The steak that accompanied it was also delicious. The tomato cucumber salad was fresh, but could've used a little more salt in my opinion. The bao bun and tacos were also nice and great portions. I would say for me I didn't love the pad Thai in comparison to the many that I've had before, because it was a bit different in flavor profiles than what I'm used to. I wanted a little bit more of the fish sauce and tamarin flavor. You have to get their milkshakes, I'm sure all of them are great. But the one we have was absolutely decadent and delicious! We had more than enough food, and ended up taking a lot of it home. They were multiple people helping us, and they were all very nice and friendly. I'm coming back for the udon noodle dish!
