    I ordered two new menu items to be delivered: the Balsamic Chicken Greens and Grains and the Toasted Frontega Chicken sandwich. The greens in the salad are advertised as Romain and crisp mixed greens, with a whole grain mix of Farro and Rice blend; what was delivered was lettuce with uncooked grains that looked like birdseed. I asked for no cheese on my Toasted Frontega Chicken Sandwich. I received some shredded chicken and a few pieces of wilted spinach, not even enough chicken to cover the bread.

    This place is clean just like any other Panera . Busy place on a Monday lunch time. Fast service. Food is good for the price. I was never a fan of sandwiches until recently. I would recommend if your in the area of Ocala , FL

    Lunch at Panera

    The bread is made fresh on site daily and they have a new calabrese salad with strawberries that was delicious. I opted for the half chipotle chicken and avocado sandwich and calabrese strawberry salad. The entire meal was delicious and the wait time was minimal. My wife had a similar combo meal with a drink. My only complaint is that Panera bread is getting awful expensive. Our lunch was almost $28! For that much money we could have had steak at outback. While the food was very good, I was left wanting a few more bites at the end.

    I was traveling and really wanted I came during a weekday morning after rush hour. I normally don't get coffee but decided to get one and it was cold. There was about 5 people here. I asked for a egg And cheese sandwich. They made me a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The lady was nice and said she made the wrong sandwich and then "made me another one". I went to get the sandwich and i opened it to put ketchup and guess what is in the egg.. a small piece of bacon. It looked as if they just took off the bacon and gave me the same sandwich. So I bring it to the managers attention that there is still bacon and she tells me it's a piece of a burnt egg.... but they would make me another one. Note I am highly allergic to bacon and I don't feel that I need to tell this when asking for a simple egg sandwich. The ciabatta bread I asked for also looked somewhat burnt and small. Glad this panera bread is not my local one because I would not return. Highly disappointed and definitely not the high quality that panera always has at all their locations I have been to.

    Costs too much for what you get! They have changed the grill cheese to a skimpy sandwich!

    First thing is this location is inside a Walmart. Second…read morething is it's inside a Walmart lol. But for real the customer service was amazing the guy taking the orders was friendly the guy cooking was amazing as well, they were slow the food came out fast I got the og combo they used 2 chicken tenders for each sandwich one of my tenders was dry and the other one was juicy you can tell it was sitting for a little bit of time the fries on the other hand were fried fresh so they were on point all in all 6 out of 10 on the og. The buffalo mac and cheese combo was better both pieces of chicken tenders were juicy and had a nice little kick so this one was 8 out of 10. Because it's inside a Walmart may be the reason they are slow but they should really do all sandwiches to order meaning they should fry it to order once they are more busy then start doing a few more pieces at a time.

    Chicken Guy in Walmart! I went into Walmart and did a take out order without checking my bag which…read morewas my first mistake. I went home and checked my receipt and my order, they didn't match. My fault I suppose. Even though this was not what we had wanted we ate it as no one was going back dealing with Saturday traffic. The chicken O.G. Sandwich was pretty tasty and very filling and the other thing in the bag was the Loaded Fries that had the crispy chicken on top and I'm thinking melted cheese, scallions and bacon crumbles. This was ok but it probably would have been better if eaten there and hot. I had wanted to try the Chicken Guy just to see how it was in comparison to all the other chain chicken places and the food is decent comparatively but from what I've heard from others and this experience I do think that they probably could use better service.

    Great burger, though greasy. Had the Ralph's with no changes to it…read more Before I go further, the one nice thing the girl at the counter did was say my order would be brought to me, and it was. I walk with a cane & I had brought my dog. I rather doubt I'll be back. I'd rather go any of the other WEC restaurants where the staff is gracious to the level of Disney gracious. Staff were not at all on par with the rest of WEC, well at least not the blond young woman that waited on me. She did smile upon arrival, but their tone was condescending and obviously an old, plump lady didn't fit her idea of who to be nice to. I ordered quickly, as I came to just try the place out and figured the Ralph's burger was the way to go. I felt all the staff sort of walked around her and gave her a wide berth and frankly all looked nervous. Is there a tyrant there? Layout: is odd! Condiments are on the far right end of the counter, yet the utensils and beverages are on the opposite wall. The girl who took my order said nothing about that. I was surprised to get a burger with no condiments on it. I ordered coffee and they give you a cup and it's self-service, which is perfectly fine, but the tea and coffee were not labeled or if they are, then it's up over 5 feet, I tipped 18%, not my usual 20%*, as it's counter service. I assume that's divided up, as the staff cleaning tables were quick & efficient, as well as pleasant. Maybe blond girl was having a bad day, but if that's the case - don't share it. I was there on June 4th, 2026. Since this is not a chain fast food restaurant and they apparently don't put condiments on the burgers, I think having them on the table would be better. Worst service in Ocala all due to one girl.

    My wife and I decided to try out Ralph's Burger during the Home and Garden show at the WEC. Boy…read morewere we surprised to see this placed packed! In addition to the Home and Garden show, there were horse jumping competitions and apparently some tour groups with their yellow lanyards hanging on their necks. Needless to say, we waited in line a while and had to hunt for tables and chairs. Fortunately, my wife and I "divided and conquered" as she secured a table (which we happily shared with another couple after my wife wiped it off with a wet wipe) and I stood in line to place our orders. I ordered the Southwest Burger ($17) and my wife ordered the Patty Melt ($14.75). Both came with fries. We just had water. The wait was longer than we thought (the place was truly packed). My burger had good flavor but thought the burger patty was a bit overdone for my tastes. My wife liked her patty melt and thought it was full of flavor as well but would've preferred the marble rye to be grilled instead of toasted. All in all, despite the crowd which we thought may have affected their execution a bit, we thought of our experience a positive one. We might consider trying out their breakfast when we decide to head back out to WEC for a Sunday service in their quaint chapel. NOTE: I neglected to take pictures since the long wait left us famished.

    Stopped by District Bar and Kitchen for a late lunch/early dinner on a beautiful spring day…read more The temperature outside was pleasant and so my dining companion and I opted for lunch on their patio. We were on their bottom floor patio (which was lovely) but I did spy that they have a rooftop patio as well (what's not to love?!?). Everything from the food to the cocktails to the service was exemplary. For my cocktail I got their Old Colonel's Smoking Gun which was their twist on an old fashioned and was delightful. For my entree, I got their salmon entree. It's glazed and comes with a size of their crispy brussels and cheesy grits. The brussels were delish and their cheesy grits rank among some of the best I've had with sharp cheddar giving them the perfect flavor kick. The atmosphere was so pleasant. It's definitely the sort of spot you'll feel tempted to linger. Get to it!

    So much looked good on the menu it was hard to choose. Also all the food that was coming out looked…read moredelicious! Got the pepperoni pizza. It was nice and fluffy, crispy on the edges. Would definitely get another flavor to try next time. Got the honey chicken sandwich. It was big and flavorful. Not spicy. The fries are yummy. The burger had nothing special on it and tasted like there was no seasoning - only downside. Want to try their grits and fried green tomatoes next time!
