I got The classic grilled cheese. Not the kids grilled cheese. The real one. $9 for two pieces of bread put in a toaster and then put in the microwave with some velvetta cheese. Stay away. It was awful. read more

Terrible!! I was so excited about having a Panera Bread open up less than 2 miles down the street from me!! ...until my partner and I ate there the other day. It was 10:30 am and we were out shopping and decided to have a meal. We chose Panera. I ordered the turkey sausage, egg white, & spinach power sandwich ($4.39) and my guy ordered the Sourhwestern Chicken Flatbread sandwich ($7.59) which also came with chips. The sprouted grain bagel my sandwich came on was amazing! Chewy and crispy at the same time...this was its only merit. The egg white was rubbery, there was one...ONE spinach leaf on it and one thin, anemic looking tomato slice. And I'd honestly forgotten about the turkey sausage as I never tasted it and didn't think about it until I was taking my last two bites. My guys flatbread was equally devoid of filling. He ordered it because of the black bean hummus that is supposed to come on it...of which there was none. I own and run a fermented hummus company...there really wasn't any on the flatbread. Matter-of-fact, there wasn't much of anything of his sandwich. But hey! The chips were good! Our iced teas were also good...refreshing and fresh tasting. At $1.89 each for the regular size (you DO get refills if you eat in) they had better be. I don't ask for much when I eat out, which isn't often. I simply ask for fresh food, a reasonable portion of it for the price paid, and employees who are helpful and look like they enjoy their job. This Panera has none of these qualities. Save your money and go to Beyond Bread at Ina & Oracle. read more

I tried to call in a take away order... but I was put on hold not once... but twice The place is understaffed... and poorly managed ... an all around terrible experience. There are better restaurants close by including Chipotle right next door. Better attitudes & atmosphere & Chipotle's read more

Drive thru service is great. Friendly folks working there. Cobb salad is amazing, especially the dressing.

I actually really love Panera bread. I was just really turned off by their customer service and the last time I went was the tip of the ice berg. I've been through their drive through a total of 3 times and every time there is no one in line but it takes quite a while for anyone to come to the window or for your food to come out. I stil thought going there was worth it until I went about a week ago. I was exhausted and wanted "REAL FOOD" So I went there. There was NO ONE in line. I ordered the Chicken Frontega Panini and their Tortollini pasta. The girl on the intercom asked me if I wanted chicken which I responded with a no. I was on the phone with my mom from the time I made the order until anyone came to the window. Which is how I KNOW FOR FACT that it took 10 minutes for anyone to even show their face for me pay. Like literally I saw no one. I drive all the way home and when I open my bag there is a half bitten piece of bread thrown in my bag and there are 3 pieces of gnarly, half raw looking chicken thrown in my tortollin pasta. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to throw up. I emailed management and they told me someone would call me to rectify the situation. I'm not sure if they've called but my voicemail sure isn't too full for voicemails. I have pictures but for some reason can't find a way to post them on here. read more

Fast...fresh...tasty! I came in twice (so far) while on a business trip. The line was nonexistent both times. The staff was friendly, helpful, and fast. The poppy, strawberry, chicken salad is awesome. The Italian is great too. I would recommend this place for a quick bite. read more

I attempted to get delivery yesterday. The website said delivery was available to my address, but after I entered my order, it said delivery was not available and to use rapid pickup instead. I tried multiple times to switch to rapid pickup, but repeatedly got a message saying delivery was not available. I went to In 'n' Out for dinner. read more

Very expensive for the extremely small portions. I got the Turkey avocado BLT and it was nearly $9. While it tasted ok, it was probably the smallest FULL sandwich I've ever seen. The rest of the family was disappointed with their portion sizes as well. One of my son's got the bbq chicken flatbread. It was mostly spinach and just a couple pieces of chicken. He was disappointed. We won't be back. Instead we'll drive a little further down the road to Beyond Bread where you can get a quality sandwich at a decent price.. as well as a reasonable portion size. read more

Always out of bread bowls, lady working front acted like she didn't want to take any orders. Also out of 3/4 of the menu at all times due to LAZY LAZY staff. Ridiculous, will never return. Bunch of clowns. read more

Way overpriced for the quality of the food!! A small cup of soup and small mac and cheese and almost $6.00 which is ridiculous!! You can get a cup of soup at Whole Foods for $3 and change which is reasonable. I do like Panera's Broccoli Cheddar soup and their ten vegetable soup and their scones but it's overpriced read more

Tonight was our second visit for dinner. The food was good and so was the service. Between the 2 visits I have tried to order 3 different things for dinner only to be told they were out of what I wanted. Minus a star for that with it being at 4:30 before the dinner rush and not crowded. read more

Got a you pick two on a Saturday night at 7. Wasn't terrible, wasn't great. Seem to have changed their menu, or this location serves smaller, less complete portions. Service is just alright. Spot for lots of old people. read more

What's there not to like about Panera? The delicious food, the great service, the good vibes of it all. And the food. Of course, you can't forget the lovely food! My usual is the cup of chicken noodle soup & Frantega chicken. (Is that how you spell it?) Panera's like my refuel area. I also sometimes bring the kids I babysit here. They love it! Im so happy it's kid-friendly here. They actually have a big variety for the kids. And the food you can tell is made fresh everyday. The bread is a must get! I would recommend, obviously. read more

Too bad you never seem to have bread choices fir your sandwiches...I don't want tomato basil bread!

My dad LOVES their Sordough bread, thin slices of course! We make a once a week trip to Panera to pick up his favorite treats. If it weren't for Panera I might be able to ever get him out of the house, lol! read more

This is the worse Panera location I've ever been to. I ordered several items including a bowl of broccoli soup to go, but I didn't realize until I got home that the soup wasn't in the bag. I called and spoke to Cole and he said to come in again and he'll refund it or give me the soup. I returned a couple weeks later to get the missing soup plus other items, including French onion soup with some cheese and croutons on the side that they forgot to include the last time. They again forgot the cheese and croutons for the onion soup, and while they remembered the broccoli soup, they forgot the bread that goes with it. There was no one else in the restaurant, so it's not as if it was overlooked because they were busy. I'll try the a Panera by the Tucson mall next time. read more

Gave this Oracle location of Panama Bread a try for lunch today as it was my husband's birthday. We just wanted bagels his with chive cream cheese and mine with butter. NO FLAVOURED CREAM CHEESE once again. I had a decaf coffee and carafe was empty so was the 2% milk. No birthday reward either. We have been here six times and always there is something missing. The customer opposite us us even cleaning her own table! Come on guys/ smarten up. read more

The food here is not that good, and the service is mediocre. I ordered a salad with a substitution and they charge me for the added item with no credit for the item i took off. read more

I'm not a huge Panera fan but went to pick up some breakfast as a favor to my husband who loves it here. We were in town for our anniversary and wanted a quick to-go breakfast. I took my time deciding and ordered a pick two Fuji Apple salad and steak and cheddar panini for him and a power quinoa for me. Both were great, the oatmeal wasn't too sweet and filled me up nicely. What really made the whole experience 5 star was Bill, the gentleman who took my order. He offered to let me customize everything even though it took some extra time. They were out of iced coffee and Bill upgraded me to a large hot for the inconvenience. His friendly and funny demeanor was awesome. Good job on the food and coffee Panera, but great job on having someone like Bill on staff! read more

Great place for lunch. They have an online ordering system and even a drive thru which is handy. Came in at noon and the line went pretty fast. The lady at the counter was nice and friendly. Everythings looks and tastes fresh. Ordered the Fontina Grilled Cheese and Broccoli Cheddar on the pick 2 menu a cupcake and a pellwgrino for under 10 dollars. Not bad for the area. read more

Panera Bread - This place is new in the area and a breath of fresh air for lunch options for those of us who work around here. - Salad Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

Do not go to this place, overpriced and totally messes up order. I ordered 2 pick two items off the online menu. The first one they made the sandwich wrong after customizing it. The second order, I didn't get the sandwich. Also I ordered the broccoli Mac and cheese soup, got straight Mac and cheese. Waste of money big time. read more

I travel all over the country and this location in Ono Arizona is the worst. Poor and unfriendly staff. Always out of food items!!

This Panara Bread has really gone down hill. The staff are listless. My impression is that they'd like to go back to takeout only and the pastry selection is sparse at best. It is really sad because Panara Bread used to be my number one spot. read more

I have been eating at Panera bread ever since they first opened on Wilmont in Tucson. I have also eaten at the Oracle Rd location. They are both terrific! They put plenty of meat on their sandwiches, their soups are hot and fresh and their salads are crisp and fresh. I would recommend this restaurant very highly. read more

Ni thanks tried three times...marginal to poor, then I realized there are some really good places to eat with good service right next door!

On the first overcast cold night in 2017 thought we would get soup for dinner. My daughter ordered a bowl of soup and it came half filled. Asked to have a complete bowl and it came back three quarters filled. The rest of us ordered cups of soup and they were filled to the rim. Disappointing and not as advertised. Pics of advertised and actual. Order this many times for my offices and never have problem at other locations! Nice friendly servers/front staff! read more

During the winter season, approximately October-February/March It is beyond busy. I come more during the summer due to that, but I really like coming here for a good healthy alternative. read more

They never have bread bowls or any of their soups. The last three times, at about 5PM, they've been out of both. Save yourself some time and head down the way to Kneaders. read more

I have been here numerous times for lunch and they always had what I wanted & it was very good. However, breakfast is always a challenge. Today, at 9:30am I wanted a ham & cheese souffle only to find out that it was not available. I found something else which was OK. While I ate I observed that other customers had similar problems getting what they wanted. They should not be out of breakfast items at that time of day, particularly on a Sunday! read more

You call that a panini? If you're from the mid-west and love Panera, you might want to skip this one in Oro Valley. I ordered the Pick 2: a cup of baked potato soup and and ham & swiss panini. After a 20 minute wait I got a regular sandwich and a cup of soup that looked like it had died in the window for 19 of those 20 minutes. Add a bag of chips and a drink, that's 12 bucks. I added a bearclaw which was dry and crumbly. It may have come from the dollar store, because 99 cents is about what it was worth. There are about 2000 restaurants in Tucson, spare yourself the aggravation and pick one of those. read more

The last couple of times I have been to Panera I have been very disappointed. They are always out of their staple items. Today it was bread bowls and every single kind of cookie except oatmeal raisin. It was 2pm. When my mom went back to try to buy at least an oatmeal raisin cookie she was told she couldn't have it for .99 even though we had just ordered and would have to pay full price. Also the apple that came with my sons Mac and cheese was rotary and gross looking. We watched the cashier keep rubbing her nose on her hand and arm and then grabbing bakery items without washing. read more

I keep trying this horrible place because my husband loves their crappy food and I do not know why. He complains how expensive they are every single time. I decided to try something different so I got tuna. It's hard to screw up tuna but Panera managed to do a great job. If you want the worst tuna get it here. If you like tuna sickeningly sweet get it here. who makes sweet tuna? read more

So disappointed...whet through the drive-through tonight and the menu light was either broken or not turned on. I could not see to order. Then I was told to hold and it was over five minutes before someone took my order and I was the only car there. I get to the window and no one is there. I waited about six minutes and a boy walked by the window and left. After 9-10 minutes and no one acknowledging that I was there i decided i could get better customer service elsewhere and left. read more

The food here is everything everybody else said: just plain out lackluster. It would be so easy for them to bump up the quality, but it's like somebody is just too lazy to do so. I had a salad with added chicken. It was just plain in on the edge of being old and moldy. My partner had a grilled cheese chicken sandwich. She said it lacked flavor, the chicken was hard to find and the sandwich looked like somebody smashed it flat and abounded it on the grill. Then I was wanting something sweet, so I went up and bought a muffin top - - pumpkin flavor. I was shocked that it cost me $1.84. My next shock was it had no flavor and it was soft. Usually muffin tops are hard and crispy -- which is the fun of having just the muffin top. Finally, the teas and coffees in this place are really awful. None of the coffee had that good robust flavor and all the teas just taste odd, although they boast it's fresh brew. Overall, just left us unsatisfied. read more

Just picked up a Turkey Bacon Bravo to go. Little turkey, dry, stale, close to tasteless. You would think that during these times when take out is so critical to a restaurant they would make sure you would be glad you chose them. Not this restaurant. read more

I came here on my lunch break from the high school nearby. We were eating in because we knew we had enough time. However, I ended up being thirty minutes late because of an inconvenience. I ordered my food, swiped my card, saw "approved", and went to get my drink. The cashier, lovely girl, told me my card actually got declined & there was a remaining $2 balance. I was confused because I saw "approved" but I didn't want to make a scene so I decided to just give them the $2. It takes 15 minutes for them to figure out how to add to a balance. After the manager finally adds to the balance, I am yelled at in front of everyone else in the store & talked over. I, a 17 year old girl, am being yelled at by an older and much more intimidating woman because I "should never go out if my bank balance is low because it will always get declined." I have never been rich, my mom makes the same amount as teachers (mind you, this is Arizona). If my debit card gets declined then mind your own business. Just because I LOOK privileged, doesn't mean I am. All I wanted was some Mac and cheese. Never going here again, absolutely disgusted with the management. read more

I was very hungry and looking for Grilled cheese sandwich. On the menu descriptions for the 3 different types of this sandwich, I choose the one that says " with bacon and tomato " I order to go and didn't check it, I trusted. I got in a box two slices of cheese between 2 slices of thing sandwich bread and aside 25 cent potatoes chip bag for $ 8 !!!. Only one young man was wearing a mask in the kitchen. Be careful, this is an overpriced place. read more

TStopped in for a quick lunch today. There was a large sign stating that the soda machine was out of order. However, the cashier told me that the Pepsi machine was working. I ordered the drink and received the cup. Their ice machine wasn't working so they had to put ice into the cup at the cashier place. We headed for our seat, and walked over to get the Pepsi that the cashier said was working. It was not. I took my receipt back to the cashier and told her that the machine was not working, so I wanted a refund on the drink. She said "well let me go and check". Apparently she didn't trust me. She came back and said, "no, it's not working." Well, duh.....I told you that. Then my husband went into the bathroom and he came back and said that the urinal was out of service. Seems as though Panera is letting the places go - don't know if they are having a hard time or not - but if other things don't work - and they aren't taken care of no one will stop in the restaurant. Very disappointing. read more

Visiting Panera today was a complete disappointment. My family went to the drive thru for lunch today. After about 10 minutes in line the drive thru employee took our payment. 5 minutes later she asked us to pull forward because she gave our order to the wrong person. We parked and waited inside as it was 105 degrees today. The staff was very apologetic and provided us with drinks and a cookie for my daughter. Our food was ready quite promptly and we were on our way. After arriving home we found that my boyfriend's BLT was missing the bacon. I am a vegetarian and ordered the modern Greek salad with quinoa, and paid extra for extra quinoa. After about 4 bites I began finding pieces of chicken in my VEGETARIAN salad. I'm disgusted and extremely disappointed. read more

Panera is my go to place when we want to eat something quick and healthy. This Panera is always my favorite one to visit because the employees are always so friendly and happy to help. I'd like to mention that during our last visit we were assisted by Tori and she was soooo sweet and kind. She took my complicated order with no hesitation at all and as always our meal was great! Thank you, Tori you rock!!! I'll be looking for you the next time we return :) read more
