    Why aren't the ingredients INSIDE the sandwich?
    Shannon B.

    Why isn't Panera corporate reading all of these reviews and making changes accordingly? The new facility has terrible parking. It's an accident waiting to happen. The customer service is very lacking. It's loud, cannot hear the cashier. I ordered on the self ordering terminal because it became so frustrating trying to decipher what the lady was asking. The creamy chicken soup was watered down terribly. About 2ounces of chicken total on my sandwich, very poorly made- too expensive for such a lack of ingredients. The inside is filthy. No one cleans the tables. No one asks how your meal is. The old ambience of a home-style feeling is lost. No one cares here. Also- when your order is ready, good luck knowing. They don't say your name- nothing. You have to guess when to walk up to the counter. It's lost all of ur ability to provide customer service and the food portions are sad.

    New address on LaGrange...just two blocks from old address.

    Too bad, but they lose a star. The new place is wonderful and roomy, but the service fails. I seriously think this place has changed hands and has new management. Where the cash register person in the old location by the pastry used to toast your bagel right there when you wanted it toasted, now the bagel goes back to the kitchen so it can take 3 times as long and still come out tepid. Also, probably a one off but a new pot of coffee came out with floating grounds and when we mentioned it to the staff they just left it there. Staff is not trained and does not seem to care about the food and coffee ... big training issue. Too bad...

    Chill spot with good food. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. The service was friendly and welcoming. Would come here again

    Napa Almond Chicken Salad On Sourdough

    "Chicken raised without antibiotics tossed with diced celery, sliced red grapes, toasted almonds and special dressing, served with emerald greens, vine-ripened tomatoes, salt and pepper on Country Rustic Sourdough."....what I ordered .... They skimped on the chicken and then forgot the rest of the ingredients... total rip off.

    Alfredo tortellini with bread
    Jaclyn W.

    I came here for the first time today to pick food up. Ordering on the app is very easy, and very quick. The place is extremely busy, there was barely any parking, just tons of people inside. I ordered the Alfredo tortellini which comes with a piece of bread, the total price came out to be $9.64. What a huge waste of money. The bread was very hard and the portion on the noodle dish was very small. You would think for spending almost $10, that there would be more food. There was barely any sauce in my meal, I literally had to add butter just to get flavor from it. I don't see myself coming back unless it's for a beverage of some sort. The prices are just very expensive for the little mount of food you get, and honestly mine wasn't even that good. Pretty disappointing

I ordered the 1/2 clubby sandwich and an apple walnut salad. After paying almost $16 and collecting my food, I looked at the receipt and it showed a different sandwich, so I went back to the counter and no one acknowledged me, so I got the attention of one of the employees and explained my problem. He appeared more interested in taking the wrong sandwich back than learning what I should have received. I felt that he thought I was trying to get another sandwich for free. After having to wait in line again, I asked the person how I got the wrong sandwich and was told the sandwich was correct, but there was no option on the register for the sandwich I ordered, so the receipt looked like it was wrong. Maybe they could have noted it on the receipt or explained it when I paid. The bigger problem was the salad which I didn't look at until I got home. I was very disappointed to find lettuce so old that it had turned red, the apples were starting to go bad and the grapes were bad and the grapes along with the lettuce were not edible. I find it hard to believe they didn't notice the items were bad, which makes me think they just didn't care. It also makes me think they don't inspect and throw away old food, but just serve it. Since this was my first visit to a Pot Belly's, I will try a different location and hope for a better experience and food I can eat.

But like any other noodles it's a standard chain with the regular menu. This one's been kept pretty clean for the most part they were keeping the dining room looking good the bathrooms are nice.

I think the owner may have been at the door that day and seemed a bit frazzled (understandable). Also, a sign that says please wait here to be seated. When we arrived we didn't know where to stand so we went to the other side of the front desk and were somewhat scolded and redirected to go back around and wait. It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!

Because of this, we ended up paying a lot for a buffet that was comparable to a much cheaper restaurant. I do recommend this place but just know that each buffet line around the res is different and because of the restaurants layout you have to walk around to see where each buffet line is. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you get some fish. The drinks are also very good. Service was good too.

Then my family also was in the bathroom all night due to the spoiled food that was left too long. If you need a food poisoning with sour food that has been sitting out hours and hours and pay $200 for 4 people, a real bathroom cleanse so you can use your sick day in bed throwing up then this place is absolutely for you. It's not my idea of expensive fun time so I would not go back even if THEY pay me $200. Food poisoning recommended
