    Chicken, balsamic and grains
    Maty H.

    Ordering was perfect and efficient. Look at your name was Barbara. She's always been nice and attentive. The broccoli cheese soup was OK but on the lukewarm side instead of hot. The chicken salad looks OK but the side of avocado that they put in it was so hard that I could not even eat it. And some of the lettuce was kind of brown like or it's been sitting out or it's just old not sure.On the restaurant seating area coming around some of the tables are not clean and there is not that many people in here. The phone has been ringing up the hook and even though there is people back there, nobody picks it up ...Not sure why. I always like the restaurant because location is convenient, but I wish they could be a little bit more conscious and clean the tables. I know it's already 6 o'clock the place is not even that busy they should send somebody out here to wipe the tables.

    Fudgy Brownie CinnaTop
    Travis B.

    Fudgy Brownie CinnaTop: Panera recently introduced a slew of new items including three varieties of what they have dubbed "CinnaTops". The Cinnatop flavors include Candy Cookie, Choco Chipper Cookie, and Fudgy Brownie. It was easy narrowing down which I would try as I'm a fudgy (not cakey) brownie fan. The official description is "A deliciously crafted cinnamon roll made with our sweet dough, stuffed with cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with decadent icing, brownie chunks and finished with an icing drizzle". It comes in a cute little windowed box and was relatively hefty. Also of note, it is served as a room temperature dessert. I have not had the most recent iteration of Panera's cinnamon roll, but I would imagine it's similar if not exactly the same as this (just minus the brownie pieces). There is a copious amount of icing both on top of the roll and even inside (see cross-section picture). As good as that sounds, that brings me to my biggest complaint and that is the flavor. The icing is extremely tangy, to the point that I want to describe it as having a lemony flavor (not a plus in my book). Thankfully the chocolate flavor of the brownies helps to distract from this. Mine came topped with eight brownie pieces that were approximately the same size, but that might vary with your experience. Although not as fudgy or tasty as my homemade brownies, they were satisfying enough. There is also a nice amount of cinnamon flavor from the cinnamon-sugar filling (again see cross-section picture) to help diminish that awful lemony icing. If you plan on trying the new CinnaTops, my final word of advice is to warm them up in the microwave as it made enough of a difference in taking this from an avoid, to just okay dessert. I still probably wouldn't eat one again (and it was free with a Panera Rewards coupon) as there's just so many better dessert options today. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

    BOLT FOUND IN CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

    FOUND A LARGE METAL BOLT IN MY FOOD. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on 7/28/25 and bit down on something hard while I was chewing and found it was metal bolt. After showing the staff what I found they continued to serve the contaminated food. I am appalled and disgusted. I hope nobody else gets hurt.

    This Panera is usually pretty good, but this sandwich was seriously lacking. I didn't want the lettuce (gets too soggy on this sandwich) but I definitely wanted the other things.

    Chicken avocado blt

    It's Panera. Everything is fresh, and staff is pretty friendly. They will find your table and bring out your order if you're eating in, but you have to clear out your table. You can grab self serve water with lemon. You can also order through the computer directly, and cups for your beverage purchases are all there for you to just take - honor system. Don't abuse it! For a chain bakery that I've been going to since... well for quite a long time, I'm still not sure that I believe the more recent price hike justified. But it's ok. I still go on a whim.

    One noodle and a carrot in soup, chicken not included?
    Claire T.

    I love Panera bread I really do I don't have many complaints but recently they've been compounding this latest was the fact that I got a chicken noodle soup there in one piece of chicken in it and two noodles

    The music is way too loud. It never used to be that way. When I asked for the music to be turned down so I could speak to my 81-year-old mother they indicated that they could not.

    Healthy salad! Making my daily life healthier. Great salad good atmosphere...

    First time at this location. It was a decent experience…read more Food: We started with a couple of beverages: a beer for her and a hot tea for me. They carry Rishi teas, which always have great flavor. To start, we ordered the Korean cauliflower. It came out in a reasonable amount of time and had nice flavor, was served hot, and was a good portion. There were some nicely sized pieces on top, but underneath was a pile of smaller pieces that turned into a bit of a gooey mess. For our entrees, I had the Hot Bacon Salad, and she ordered the fish tacos. Both were good, served hot, and had solid flavor. Portions were generous, and we ended up taking some home. Service: Service throughout the meal was very good. They did a great job getting us settled with waters and menus. Our server was super enthusiastic and friendly, and the pacing was spot on. Nice job, Brandon. Atmosphere: It's a well-designed space. It was very busy, though there were still plenty of booths and seating options. Unfortunately, we were seated next to a small group that was video chatting and had a screaming baby on the other end. I like babies... just not while I'm eating. Overall: Mostly a good experience. I would go back, with a request to sit in a quieter area.

    Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic!…read more We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so the greeter gave us some menus and let us know we could order and he'd find a table for us ASAP. We got to the counter and the cashier told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We accepted this and ordered anyway. We picked a curry, a noodle dish, and a Thai beer each. The cashier was very friendly. The original greeter found us a table almost immediately after we paid and mentioned the beer is especially nice over ice, so we took his recommendation. Beers came quickly, but food did take at least a half hour, as the cashier mentioned. Table and dining room were clean and nicely decorated with warm lighting and relaxing music. Bathrooms were also clean. Food was very good and flavorful. The portions were decent. We were full, ate most of our dishes, and didn't take anything home. The original greeter came back and checked on us while we were eating. Service was fantastic throughout the experience. The food was pricey, but aligns with other Thai restaurant prices in the area. Dishes were around $20. The whole experience was worth it. We will be returning!

I ordered Thai tea and it had zero flavor and not the traditional color that I grew up on, very light in color so light on the tea. Papaya salad was more salty than the sweet there is typically the perfect balance of fish sauce and lime but just wasn't what I'm used to. The OG wings were great, great flavor, great cook. They use huge wings but cut them in half. The mango sticky rice had a perfect amount of coconut mixture but uses a different mango that is more tart than sweet. They were busy, people order to dine in and for carry out. The food took roughly 35-40 minutes, which was fine, not mad about fresh food. It is a really cute restaurant in a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but it can be hard to find parking when neighboring businesses are also busy. You order from the counter and sit down and they bring your food to you. I'm glad I tried it but likely will try other places next time. Cost was roughly $35.

There is a small portion for outdoor seating, but it's the interior that makes this place unique. A panoply of saloon memorabilia covers the walls and ceiling in its entirety. It is an impressive site to behold. It was neat spotting some of the items that are also in my personal collection, and I could write all day about the décor, but this is a food review. My family and I dined there on 8/5 for my brother's birthday. I'll begin by saying our waitress Cindy did an excellent job as she was friendly and attentive. For my entrée, I went with the Monterey Steak Bites, which is listed as an appetizer on the menu. I'm not the largest guy, so the 6oz of grilled black angus steak was plenty for me. The bites are sauteed with white wine, mushrooms, garlic butter, and topped with a layer of melty Monterey Jack Cheese. Everything about this dish was perfect. My steak was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were abundant, large, and fresh, the garlic flavoring was noticeable but not overpowering, and the plethora of cheese was more than enough to satisfy this cheesehead. If there was any negative to it, it would be that it was so rich, I had a bit of a stomachache after, but that's why I don't eat this way all the time. Almost forgot to mention, it comes with a tiny cocktail fork that was ideal for spearing the steak and mushrooms.
